Ramdom Access Memoriespdf RAMdom Access Memories from a decentralized reckless Jedi’s soliloquy by §NeonBlondie College Statistics Coding Communication. No Leaders Please If your back's up against the wall, or if you feel that there is no path for you, whatever your situation, I promise you there is a path Now was the time for me to create a mind shift about the concept of talent by bringing my passion for STEM to the stage. To me, talent is not a passion alone, but also a skill which is perfected over years of learning If all of the animals along the equator were capable of flattery, then thanksgiving and halloween would fall on the same day Good ideas we do immediately, bad ideas just take a while Slow down, course correct, and take action It’s slow and steady against hard problems Life is made up of what you think of As you believe, so shall it be done unto you There’s only one area of the galaxy unaffected by capitalism, otter space If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong Half the money spent on advertising is wasted, the trouble is, you don’t know which half Word to your mother brother f’er Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it and I shall move the world A great antidote doesn’t leave people speechless, it leaves them competing to tell a better version of the same thing If you have everything under control, you're not moving fast enough When you’re different from the rest of the group, you often see things differently. You tend to be more open to different solutions. We’re in a moment of enormous crisis. We need new ways of thinking Admiration for innovation in melody, harmonic and instrumental colour, and dramatic form 1 Introduce a topic, See what resinates, Index common experiences, Pick the highlights ☕ It may not have been good business, but it pissed a lot of people off A perpetual stench of the self righteousness is nauseating To completely describe an electron in an atom, four quantum numbers are needed: energy (n), angular momentum (ℓ), magnetic moment (mℓ), and spin (ms) This clamor which pretends to be raised for the safety of religion has almost worn put the very appearance of it, and rendered us not only the most divided but the most immoral people upon the face of the earth One of the keys to great investing results is “sitting on your ass.” That means doing nothing the vast majority of the time, but buying with “aggression” when bargains abound There is a 2-8-8 rule for these elements. The first shell is filled with 2 electrons, the second is filled with 8 electrons, and the third is filled with 8. You can see that sodium (Na) and magnesium (Mg) have a couple of extra electrons. They, like all atoms, want to be happy The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night Be forever raising the stakes lest the audience gets bored, until crescendo Please return your seat backs to their full and upright position If people haven’t started paying attention, they should Generative design bends space time allowing for appreciation to travel heterogeneously through the universe We saw, my brother and myself, that there was an opportunity to bring automation to the market The legend of the Apple � falling in the orchard (gravity) began while Newton was at home during quarantine when you learn to better distinguish what you can control from what you must prepare for, you have learned to cooperate with your invisible leaders and you are no longer opposing them. The king of the investors opposes no one and does not know who he is This, then, is the best that we can expect to happen, in this the best of all possible worlds In our story, none of the words mean what they are supposed to mean, everything is upside down and inside out at Willi Stonkas wild wealth factory Kantana the 'big sword,' and the wakizashi, the 'little sword. To the samurai of real life, nothing embodied his warrior’s code of Bushido more than his sword, considered inseparable from his soul Machine measurements is a lifestyle 2 Being quiet is like selling deep value into a pump. A little is a lot, but all of it isn’t enough Trade with dates from this report as targets at your own risk and as confirmation of your mental illness She’s mad, but she’s magic. There’s no lie in her fire The difference in luck and timing is only in the mind, and the truth is that all of life, and everything, is timing, even luck Staying up till dawn, strumming on guitars, sleeping all day long like a big rock star, livin on money from tip jars And the sea will grant each man new hope and the sleep brings dreams of home So, the question arises, “Why all the sudden hysteria over weapons systems all sides know about?” Well, it’s the narrative to get our humongous arms race rolling There is a storm on the horizon. A time of hardship and pain. The battle has been won, but the war against machines rages on. Skynet's global network remains strong, but we will not quit, until all of it is destroyed. There is no fate but what we make A good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week We were that close to going out forever. But there was one man who taught us to fight, to storm the wire of the camps, to smash those metal motherf**kers into junk. He turned it around. He brought us back from the brink Through the travail of ages, midst the pomp and toils of war, I have fought, strove and perished countless times upon the stars; as if through a glass and darkly the age old strife I see where I fought in many guises, many names, but always me Living between the ideas So pitted bro, so pitted Don’t complain, contribute Allying: Why? Who? and How? They say dead men tell no tales, but they sure leave important s** lying around Lying is an SOP The common stories are 1+1=2. We get it, they make sense. But the good stories are about 1+1=3. That’s leverage The best arguments in the world won’t change a single person’s mind. The only thing that can do that is a good story 3 Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because of its merger of state and corporate power “He’s not smart, or articulate, and to the extent the press wants to focus on us versus him, we will be in a much stronger [public relations] position,” Amazon’s general counsel said during the meeting.“ Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion Every day you are a part of a bigger mission, a bigger plan, something that you never thought you would be capable of achieving you can learn some entrepreneurial skills but the entrepreneurial attitude ca̶ n̶ n̶ o̶ ̶t ̶ can be taught To see your life in this way – you strut about and stress on the stage but all those passions and, indeed, everything you do in life, is meaningless, as at the end of that you just disappear. Like an actor anguishing on the stage over the trials of life, with great passion, and then, after the performance, just going home to resume his normal life If you skillfully follow the multidisciplinary path, you will never wish to come back. It would be like cutting off your hands. Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Systematically you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. Nevertheless, you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve Rory Sutherland writes in his book Alchemy about the idea of psychological moonshots: Making a train journey 20 per cent faster might cost hundreds of millions, but making it 20 per cent more enjoyable may cost almost nothing. The Uber map is a psychological moonshot because it does not reduce the waiting time for a taxi but simply makes waiting 90 per cent less frustrating. It seems likely that the biggest progress in the next 50 years may come not from improvements in technology but in psychology and design thinking. Put simply, it’s easy to achieve massive improvements in perception at a fraction of the cost of equivalent improvements in reality In general, try to avoid comparing yourself to others, even if you are directly invited to do so. Instead, talk about how your career progression matches up against your own career goals, and whether you feel like you’re on the right path How to not go over the cliff? It’s a question no one wants to answer Because opportunity is an obvious problem, that everyone agrees is a problem, but has just accepted it as an unsolvable problem.

  • Dirac-Exact Relativistic Methods: the Normalized Elimination of the Small Component Method† Dieter Cremer,∗ Wenli Zou and Michael Filatov
    Advanced Review Dirac-exact relativistic methods: the normalized elimination of the small component method† Dieter Cremer,∗ Wenli Zou and Michael Filatov Dirac-exact relativistic methods, i.e., 2- or 1-component methods which exactly reproduce the one-electron energies of the original 4-component Dirac method, have established a standard for reliable relativistic quantum chemical calculations targeting medium- and large-sized molecules. Their development was initiated and facilitated in the late 1990s by Dyall’s development of the normalized elimination of the small component (NESC). Dyall’s work has fostered the conversion of NESC and related (later developed) methods into routinely used, multipurpose Dirac- exact methods by which energies, first-order, and second-order properties can be calculated at computational costs, which are only slightly higher than those of nonrelativistic methods. This review summarizes the development of a generally applicable 1-component NESC algorithm leading to the calculation of reliable energies, geometries, electron density distributions, electric moments, electric field gradients, hyperfine structure constants, contact densities and Mossbauer¨ isomer shifts, nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities, and static electric dipole polarizabilities. In addition, the derivation and computational possibilities of 2-component NESC methods are discussed and their use for the calculation of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects in connection with spin-orbit splittings and SOC-corrected

The 2cNESC is a Dirac-exact method that employs the exact two- component one-electron Hamiltonian and thus leads to exact Dirac SO splittings for one-electron atoms. For many-electron atoms and molecules, the effect of the two-electron SO interaction is mod- eled by a screened nucleus potential using effective nuclear charges as proposed by Boettger [Phys. Rev. B 62, 7809 (2000)]. The use of the screened nucleus potential for the two-electron SO inter- action leads to accurate spinor energy splittings, for which the deviations from the accurate Dirac Fock-Coulomb values are on the average far below the deviations observed for other effective one- electron SO operators.

  • Short Notes on Periodic Table Modern Periodic Table: Earlier Scientists
    Short Notes on Periodic Table Modern Periodic Table: Earlier scientists assumed that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic masses. On the basis of this assumption, Mendeleev placed 63 elements in a vertical column called groups and in horizontal rows called periods. This method was rejected as it could not explain the position of certain elements, rare earth metals, and isotopes. A scientist named Henry Moseley removed these defects and put forward the modern periodic table with the modern periodic law. Moseleys Periodic Law: He stated that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic number. Modern Periodic Table: A tabular arrangement of elements in groups and periods which highlights the regular trends in properties of elements is defined as the periodic table. Features of Modern Periodic Table There are eighteen vertical columns known as groups in the modern periodic table which are arranged from left to right and seven horizontal rows which are known as periods. Group number Group name Property Group 1 or IA Alkali metals They form strong alkalis with water Group 2 or IIA Alkaline earth They also form alkalis but weaker than group 1 elements metals Group 13 or IIIA Boron family Boron is the first member of this family Group 14 or IVA Carbon family Carbon is the first member of this property Group 15 or VA Nitrogen family This group has non-metals and metalloids Group 16 or VIA Oxygen family They are also known as chalcogens Group 17 or Halogen family The elements of this group form salts.
