A di takes one unit of time, a dah takes three units of time, the space between di's and dah's of the same character takes one unit of time, the space between characters takes three units of time, and the space between words takes seven units of time. When sending code at a given speed, these units of time remain fixed in duration, and consequently the letters and words take varying amounts of time to send. Code speed is given as a number of words per minute (WPM). PARIS, which takes 50 units of time to send (including the space between words) is representative of standard English text; i.e., it takes about the same amount of time to send as the average word.

Thomas Edison had only three months of official schooling.

Some of the world's top innovators, including Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, were university drop-outs. However, a serious barrier to self-education is the cost of subscription required by many of the best university libraries, something that is limiting the potential of science itself.

8 Tips To Remember What You Read. Despite television, cell phones, and Twitter, traditional reading is still an important skill. Whether it is school textbooks, magazines, or regular books, people still read, though not as much as they used to. One reason that many people don’t read much is that they don’t read well. For them, it is slow, hard work and they don’t remember as much as they should. Students, for example,may have to read something several times before they understand and remember what they read. Why? Some of the blame can be placed on the fads in reading teaching, such as phonics and “whole language,” which sometimes are promoted by zealots who don’t respect the need for both approaches. For all those who missed out on good reading skills, it is not too late. Read with a purpose.Skim first.Get the reading mechanics right.Be judicious in highlighting and note taking.Think in pictures.Rehearse as you go along.Stay within your attention span and work to increase that span.Rehearse again soon.
