Has anyone have a recommended method on remembering faces and patterns? I recently learned about Mnemonics and Memory Palace and it sure is helpful specially when learning language and numbers, but faces and patterns?

Since I was in highschool I realized I have a hard time remembering people's faces. I call it "faceblindness" (and surprised years later to learn there really was such a term), if your face is normal and complete, I'll have a hard time remembering you. I remember mannerisms, scent, sound of voice mostly, fashion, personality and the "feel" a person emits (ex: he's annoying) height and hair/skin color. You can even have the brightest blue eyes and I still won't remember the rest of your face. But strangely, there are people who are striking to me for whatever reasons. They don't have to be beautiful, just, randomly, I think, my brain lets me remember someone's face once in a while even there's nothing special about them. I can also mostly remember a person's face if we spent a lot of time together (mostly years) so I'm afraid I won't be helpful if a police needs a witness statement on a crime scene. And it's embarassing to ask an acquaintance who they are whenever I meet them.

So yeah, a method on remembering faces and patterns will be helpful. The pattern part? It's for learning joseki.

Create your own memory place by the use of MNEMONICS

Mnemonics is a technique which we can use to aid our memory retention. Like when you forget something, e.g. a fact or a phrase, and you need to remember it, mnemonics come in handy. Mnemonics is useful and can be bifurcated in various techniques such as -

Acronyms

Like ( L O L ) full form: Laugh Out Loud

Acrostic

A -  Always trying to make the world embrace me,

D – Dozens of time I try for making people realise that how

V – Vivid and Determined I am and telling people how

I – I Inspire the world with my curiosity and

K – Kindhearted family who always admires whatever I do with this

A – Affectionate heart

Making macaroni and cheese, and I just noticed that the proportions*, if you're doing half a box of pasta, are all twos:

2 tablespoons of butter

2 tablespoons of flour

2 cups of milk

2 cups of cheese**

Also, if your pasta is the regular, small elbow macaroni, half of the standard 1-pound box is about two cups!

(*Only valid for Illogical American Volume Units, void where prohibited.)

(**Obviously this is a starting point; once you get to two cups, measure with your heart.)

Maybe everybody else already knew this, but I've been looking it up every time?

Low potassium causes:

U waves (small deflection immediately after T wave)

Flattened/inverted T waves

Prolonged PR interval

Apparent prolonged QT interval (due to fusion of T and U waves)

Also:

Increased P wave amplitude

Widespread ST depression
