High temperature thermoelectric properties of Sr and Fe doped SmCoO 3 perovskite structure
Kwang Hee Jung, Soon Mok Choi, Hyung Ho Park, Won Seon Seo
Sm1-xSrxCo1-yFeyO3 specimens with perovskite structures were prepared by a solid-state reaction to investigate their high temperature thermoelectric properties. The crystal structures of Sm1-xSrxCo1-yFeyO 3 polycrystalline samples were investigated by means of an X-ray diffraction method. All specimens showed p-type semiconducting behaviors and their electrical conductivity (σ), Seebeck coefficient (α), thermal conductivity (k) and ZT were measured at high temperatures. Effects of dopant ions on their thermoelectrical properties were also investigated. An acceptor-doping effect and distortion of the perovskite structure exerted an influence on the carrier concentration. Fe3+ ion doped into Co 3+ site enhanced the Seebeck coefficient and decreased the electrical conductivity simultaneously. On the contrary Sr2+ ion doped into Sm3+ site enhanced the electrical conductivity and decreased the Seebeck coefficient simultaneously. However heavy-doped cases (>10 mol%) caused a negative effect on the power factor values. The maximum power factor of this system, 2.0410-4 W/mK2 at 786 K was comparable to that of Ca3Co4O9 system.

ASTROX 99
Force 23p with 4UG5. Doubles only. lcw model. I use ZF2 4U and Zsp 3U4U for some serious games, but ASX99 has the best total balance. By the way, the ZF2 smash is certainly quite powerful, but it is a little difficult to handle, and sometimes it gets tough in a fast rally. Personally, the shaft of Zsp is soft, and if the tension is high, it will be overwhelmed by the shuttle and control will be poor, but the fast rally is outstandingly easy to use. Of course, smash is also ridiculously fast. ASX99 is not as fast as Zsp, so it's easy to control = it's easy to control the opponent's stroke. The attack, defense, and power are all very good at a high level. In particular, the smash is a Carbonex-type "stretching cannon" that is fast and heavy and difficult to remove. No matter what you focus on, it will respond at a high level. I think there are many opinions about singles use, but I only do doubles, and doubles doesn't matter at all. The head heavy feeling is not a big deal compared to ZF2. I think it is a historic instrument along with MP900T, NS8000, ZF2, Zsp, ASX88S, etc.
Operability
Was this review helpful to you? Like! Thank you for your feedback. Sorry, we failed to record your vote. Please try again.
Most recently, Fortius-10p and 11p are the main players, specializing in doubles. 10p is the best smash, especially if it's medium to long range, but it's not very convincing from the back. So I asked for a smash with power from the last line, and what I arrived at was this Zsp. You get used to the small size of Swisspo if you use it. It feels like a headlight, but if you swing with the intention of maximizing your swing speed at impact, you won't notice it so much. Smash gives you power and speed, and depending on how you train it, the expected value can be quite high. I'm currently using 2U, but if it's about the 2nd division of the citizen tournament, it should be fine. If it is more than that or other national competitions, it will be 4U. If you want to make the rally faster, it is a 4U, but since it is an even headlight type, it is easy to handle, and in that sense, I feel that the difference between 3U and 4U is small. There is a Guinness record for smash, but I think that smash is certainly very promising.
VOLTRIC Z-FORCE
It's been many years since it was out of print. An early type of Boltrick's Z series, which evolved the famous 80 for enthusiasts. Immediately after the sale, it was replaced by the famous ZF2, but contrary to the impression that the ZF2 was quite sophisticated, I think that this ZF is just a rugged, too addictive racket like a club swung by a violent person. When I got the 3U and 4U in my early 40s, the smash certainly felt like a cannon plugged in with a power smash, but unfortunately it was too head heavy to store. Ten years after that, when I entered the mid-50s, I opened the door of the warehouse again and tried using ZF again. The shaft is quite soft, and the head is heavy, so there is no blurring and it is easy to fly. However, 4U is too light to get power, and I am currently swinging 3U at 22p in doubles, but I can shoot a smash in the first part of the citizens' tournament, and I can not beat the drive and receive. I'm angry at why it was out of print, but before I get angry, I'll try to find it before the two stocks break. I think it's highly recommended for rearguard power hitters who know the subtle feeling of sending a shuttle on the shaft and head. I strongly hope for resale.
Recently, the 3U size is used by college athletes, so I was worried about how to manage the receive and other handling without sacrificing the quality of smashes and drives, and a friend happened to have this. When I borrowed it and hit it, all my worries disappeared. If you hit the smash, it's almost decided, and if you know that the receive will come, there's no problem. The best thing is that the swing is quite good, and although it is light, it has power, so the backhand smash can be used quite well. In other words, it is quite head heavy, and if this point is not a problem, I personally feel that this is the only choice. Is it like the Mizuno version of the Z series? I wished I had found this sooner, as rackets and shuttlecocks were not compatible with each other in the All-Japan Adult Championship. Anyway, if you are prepared to swing all the attacks, I think it is one that will be on your side. Some drawbacks? A ball that just hits doesn't fly as expected. I need to shake it up a little. I think it's because of the hardness of the shaft, but it's hopeless when you remove the swiss po. Also, the hitting sound is somewhat damp. It can't be helped because it's 23P. But if you hit the smash properly, you will be surprised by the speed and power of the person who hit it. Why was it discontinued?
VOLTRIC80
I tried to hit 3U for the first time in 15 years, but there was no feeling of heavy head, the shaft was too soft and I did not hear what I said, and the racket came out too early for the receive and only the frame was splendid. Perhaps because I usually swing around the 3U of Zsp, I can only think that the VT80 is a soft and easy-to-fly masterpiece. The smash is fast and heavy, as it bears the name of Boltrick. Even if the receive is plugged in, it can be flown, giving the impression that it is typical of an offensive all-rounder. Right now I'm using Zsp's 3U or ZF's 3U for apt-shooting matches, but I also wanted to use the 80 for fun when doing fun and fast rallies.

People are talking about MayDay… and it's not about the series finale of the ABC program Lost… we're talking about the algorithm update that was dubbed "MayDay" by Webmaster World. Over at Marketing Jive, I compiled a list of some of the top resources pertaining to the Google MayDay algorithm update. I will reproduce that post below in it's entirety.

Christmas reminds me of Bethlehem. Every year, during the Festive Season there is room for everyone and everything, but not for Jesus. We can be so absorbed by 'stuff' and busy-ness can leave the Lord to be an afterthought.
To help with the priorities consider Advent. This year in Australia Advent is from Sunday November 27 to Saturday December 24, Christmas Eve. The focus for Advent is the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Advent helps bring Christmas into context. Most of the popular Christmas celebrations are designed to nullify the sadness and pain so prolific throughout the world. In the hysteria of shopping and feasting, reality can be shoved aside. We can be carried away by how many sleeps to Christmas or how many shopping days remain.
It is wonderful to rejoice with the Babe in a manger but the context is very important. Advent will help all of us recapture the reality of what is actually 'the reason for the season.' We face a world in tragic turmoil. The great promise of Jesus is our stabilizing factor. He is our anchor in the storm.
It is true Advent is predominantly acknowledged by the Catholic Church but there are protestants embracing the teaching too. The word 'advent' is from the Latin 'adventus' meaning 'coming.' It is designated to refer to the incarnation of Christ, or the 'Parousia' his second coming. In western churches Advent is observed over the four Sundays prior to Christmas. In eastern churches it begins in mid-November.
Our boldness as believers may well depend on how we really embrace the Advent message. Jesus is coming back. The battle has been won. We can walk confidently, as steadfastly as heroic Bonhoeffer, by embracing that truth.
While we can rejoice at Christmas and thoroughly enjoy the generosity and grace of the Lord, He is no longer that Babe in swaddling clothes.
I love this story. "Evangelist Luis Palau tells of a wealthy European family that decided to have their newborn baby baptized. Dozens of guests were invited to the elaborate affair, and they all arrived at the mansion dressed to the nines. After depositing their elegant wraps on a bed in an upstairs room, the guests were entertained royally.
Soon the time came for the main event—the infant's baptism. But where was the baby? No one seemed to know. The child's governess ran upstairs and returned with a desperate look on her face. Everyone searched around frantically. Finally, someone recalled having seen him asleep on one of the beds.
The baby was buried beneath a pile of coats, jackets, and furs. The object of that day's celebration had been forgotten, neglected, and nearly smothered.
The nations fill the news with their pride, arrogance, greed and selfishness. They speak wickedly of others and stir violence and sorrow. Our hope is in the Lord.
This season we may panic about gifts for our loved ones. The greatest gift is already ours and we can rejoice in Him, no matter what.

Jungle Love Festival – a summer festival, a little differently
It's undeniable that Australia is undergoing a bit of a renaissance when it comes to boutique festivals. With the behemoths like SOUNDWAVE, BIG DAY OUT and STEREOSONIC no longer (for now), punters are searching elsewhere for festival good times, and a massive line-up with not much else to offer doesn't cut it anymore. No, punters are after an experience; something they can be a part of, something that offers more for their buck, and most importantly, something different. And so, the rise of the boutique festival began.
Focussing on quality over quantity, boutique festivals have smaller crowds and smaller line-ups, but what they "lack" in headliners is made up in other ways. Whether it be fancy-dress competitions, yoga sessions, open mics, exceptional food and drink offerings, nicer campgrounds if it's an extended stay or more, boutique festivals aren't actually lacking in anything. They deliver an experience that is just not available at major festivals, and their appeal is so strong, each year they continue to outdo themselves with more and more attendees vying for a chance to get in on the good vibes.
One such festival is South-East Queensland's JUNGLE LOVE. Borne out of a love of community and music, these two focusses have never changed, and the passion for this has never wavered over it's four-year history. Starting off as a house party in co-founder RAYMOND WILLIAMS' basement, and morphing into the wonderland it is today, it's been a labour of love for Williams and other co-founder, LINCOLN SAVAGE. Opting to focus on the experience rather than the headliners, each year the music line-up is programmed not for who's big on triple J, but who will deliver a great performance, and with a strong leaning towards local talent as well from Brisbane and beyond (not to mention remaining BYO since its inception), Jungle Love remains a community first and foremost.
It's a well-kept secret that gets out a little more each year, growing from a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand in just four years, and if you've been along, it's no wonder at all why. If you haven't been along, then you might need a little introduction. Well, look no further, as we've listed the five major reasons why Jungle Love is one of the best boutique festivals on offer around the country, and why it holds such a special place in punters' hearts. Falling on the first weekend of December, more info about the festival can be found HERE. See you in the jungle!
Jungle Love continues to opt for a choose-your-own-adventure experience each year. By the end of the day, you and all your friends could've had very different days despite not being more than 500m from each other. From poetry slams to flash mobs, yoga, the chai tent with live music, live art, the creek (which we will touch on later), delectable food choices, a couple of bars and more, your days are filled to the brim with activities at Jungle Love. And that's all without the multiple main stages which spring to life in the late morning and don't stop rocking until well into the night. Offering more than just sitting in your campsite until the music starts mid afternoon, each day is a new and different adventure waiting to be discovered.
Each year, the music line-up is programmed not for who is the buzziest name around, but for who is going to deliver a stellar set. With no restraints on genres or styles, the diverse line-up is one that you can trust will have something to suit your tastes, whatever they may be. This year is no different, with the likes of NGAIIRE, KOI CHILD, SEX ON TOAST, WILLOW BEATS, PINK MATTER, MEZKO, KAIIT, HARTS and stacks more all set to take to the multiple stages across the festival. Jungle Love also doesn't forget where it came from, and gives back to the local music scene of Brisbane and beyond, with an exceptional line-up of local bands also on the main line-up as well as the other stages. Whether you love electronic, soul, dance, jazz, rock or more, Jungle Love has got you covered!

Keep in mind this festival is in December, in Queensland, so to say it gets hot is a big understatement. With temperatures in the high 20s/even low 30s, sometimes a cold beer in the shade just doesn't cut it. Thankfully, due to being held at Imbil Deer Park, there is a creek that runs the length of the festival site. It's deep enough to have a good swim, it's utterly picturesque with it's lush, green banks and bushland on the far side, and it's the perfect cure for a sweltering day. With just about everyone bringing their own version of a floatation device, the creek breathes life back into punters, dusting off the cobwebs from the partying before and making everyone fresh for the day ahead. How many other festivals have this just on hand?
THE KUNST KLUB
I've reserved this special section of the festival for its own dot point, and for good reason. You know how at camping festivals, the main stages close and there's often not a lot on offer if you're not quite ready for bed yet? Those nights where you've got at least an hour or two of dancing left in your legs before they give out completely, or you're not done catching up with old friends? Or, more simply, if you just want to hear some disco, soul, funk, groove, house, techno or more after a few hours of bands? The Kunst Klub is the brainchild of NINA EVASON, and with her as the mastermind, it is a transformative space that might look like a shipping container on the outside but will have you feeling like you're leaving the Sunshine Coast momentarily and transported into a dank Berlin club. This year, they've teamed up with some exceptional DJs and local crews LOLA and A LOVE SUPREME to really bring those late night party vibes. Each night will have it's own separate theme, with one already announced as the Love Hotel: "A disco and house experience awaits… if you're lucky enough to get past the cheeky concierge." The other themes are yet to be announced, but trusting The Kunst Klub, it'll be out of this world.

At the end of the day, it's the community of Jungle Love that brings people back, year after year. The first year remains one of my favourite festival experiences ever, and every single event sees you leaving with a slew of new friends that live far and wide. It's almost like a pilgrimage each year for the Jungle Love faithful; after another long year, they pack everything into the car and trek to the deep Sunshine Coast for a weekend of off-the-grid festivities, full of friends old and new, and more than a few surprises at every turn. With a strong volunteer force every year as well that keep the festival running just for the sheer love of it, as well as a "leave no trace" policy that has seen the crowds treat the site with love and respect, this is so much more than just a festival. It's a family, and a community, and one of the best weekends you'll experience.
The fourth annual Jungle Love festival will be held at Borumba Deer Park, Imbil, from 30 November to 2 December.

What to expect when you join our university community
Each year, the Charles Sturt University community warmly welcomes international students to our regional Australian campus cities. When you study with Charles Sturt, you get an internationally recognised qualification, and an Australian experience like no other. Plus, you'll join the unique Charles Sturt University community. You'll find yourself immersed in Australian culture, snapchatting breathtaking landscapes to your friends back home and building lifelong friendships with true Aussies – all while furthering your education.
For those who still need convincing or don't know what to expect on this new adventure, we've broken down some of the incredible things that happen when you study in Australia with Charles Sturt.
A truly Australian experience
People generally think that the heart of Australia lies in Sydney or Melbourne. Although our metropolitan cousins receive most of the attention, regional Australia is the diamond in the rough. If you explore a little further and dig a little deeper, you'll fall in love with regional Australia.
Choosing to study at one of Charles Sturt's regional campuses means you'll have access to the best of city living, with the benefits of a regional lifestyle. As an international student, you could study at one of Charles Sturt's regional campus locations at Albury-Wodonga, Bathurst, Orange, Port Macquarie or Wagga Wagga.
If you're looking for an authentic Australian experience, go regional. You'll be surprised at what you find.
Incredible people. Our communities may be small but they are truly multi-cultural. It's hard not to walk down the street and be greeted by a complete stranger. Our down-to-earth sense of humour and laidback attitude is well know, so it won't take long to make lifelong friends.
Breathtaking landscapes. From the bush to the beach, Australia is one of the most naturally beautiful countries in the world. One minute you're walking on the red dirt of the outback. The next you could find yourself in the lush green of a national park. You'll find yourself in awe of the dramatic and contrasting landscapes.
Unique animals. Australia is home to lots of native animals not found anywhere else in the world. Each year, thousands of tourists flock to Australia to meet our furry friends. Our campus grounds are vast and welcoming to some of Australia's cutest wildlife, so you will quite often see a kangaroo or even an echidna on campus.
A twist on the English language. "Can you chuck a U-ey and pull into the servo for a sec?" Australian's love to shorten words and use Aussie slang. That sentence will make perfect sense to you after studying in Australia for a session.
Top-quality support
Reaching your studying goals can be hard at the best of times, let alone when you're adapting to a foreign country. Charles Sturt's range of support services will make you feel supported, guided and encouraged while studying in Australia.
All new on campus international students receive a pre-departure guide that includes general advice about studying in Australia, as well as detailed information about visas, accommodation, transport and healthcare. Use your pre-departure guide as a checklist, so you can understand the requirements of studying in Australia and the best way to go about meeting them.
When you arrive on campus during Orientation Week, you'll undertake Charles Sturt's international student orientation program. The program will make the transition to living and studying in Australia stress-free and ease you into life at Charles Sturt.
Dedicated international programs
While studying with Charles Sturt, each student is assigned a dedicated international student liaison officer (ISLO), who helps you adjust to living and studying in Australia. Their support begins at pre-departure and continues for the duration of your degree. Have a question about Charles Sturt or Australian life in general? Reach out to your ISLO – they're here to help!
Charles Sturt also offers English language support programs, as well as other online support forums for all international students.
To us, you're more than just a student number – you are part of the Charles Sturt family. We want to make your international study experience comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish.
Compared with other Australian universities, a Charles Sturt degree delivers incredible value for money.
For example, a Bachelor of Medical Science from a metropolitan university could cost upwards of A$40,000 annually. The same degree from Charles Sturt is approximately A$30,000 annually.
On top of that, at Charles Sturt we lock in your tuition fees for the entire time you're studying with us. At other Australian universities your tuition fees could rise and fall while you study. In some cases, other universities have increased their fees by up to 7.5 per cent each year.
Lower cost of living
The cost of living is lower in a regional centre compared to living in metropolitan locations. Residing in a thriving regional area means that Charles Sturt students have access to quality accommodation, meals, transport and entertainment – but they don't pay the premium price tag.
We're committed to providing international students the opportunity to study in a world-class environment. We offer a small range of scholarships donated by Charles Sturt alumni, industry and local community for international students, including our Charles Sturt University Foundation Scholarships. We encourage you to do your own research into financial support before you arrive. There may also be other scholarship and grant opportunities for you to explore from the Australian Government, international agencies or your own government.
Vibrant Charles Sturt University community
When you arrive at Charles Sturt as an international student, you'll quickly find yourself immersed in Australian culture and the Charles Sturt University community. Our campuses play host to vibrant communities made up of students, academics, professional staff and alumni. We're a welcoming bunch and we embrace diversity.
We recommend that international students who are studying in Australia begin their Charles Sturt journey by living on campus in our student accommodation. This gives you the platform to jump straight into student life – academically and socially.
Charles Sturt offers the largest range of on-campus accommodation of any university in Australia. So you're sure to find an option to suit your budget. What's more, we guarantee all first-year international students accommodation on campus.
Great social scene
Living on campus puts you at the heart of campus life. And it gives you access to Charles Sturt's dynamic social scene. It's easy to meet people and make friends through participating in Orientation, sports teams, or bar and trivia nights. No matter your interests, finding your niche and surrounding yourself with like-minded people will help you create lasting memories of your overseas study experience.
Aside from on-campus social activities, Charles Sturt's footprint locations are thriving regional communities. They are home to many exciting landmarks, events and festivals. Our campus in Orange is nestled in a well-known wine region. Wagga Wagga has built a reputation as a foodie haven with regular food festivals and markets. And Port Macquarie's beaches are some of the best on the New South Wales coast. Wherever you choose to study, you'll find yourself at home with Charles Sturt.

У теорії графів гра́фом Ме́біуса — Ка́нтора називається симетричний двочастковий кубічний граф з 16 вершинами і 24 ребрами, названий на честь Августа Фердинанда Мебіуса і Зелігмана Кантора (1857—1903). Його можна визначити як узагальнений граф Петерсена G(8,3). Тобто, він утворений вершинами восьмикутника, з'єднаними з восьмикутною зіркою, в якій кожна точка з'єднана з третьої за рахунком точкою.

Конфігурація Мебіуса — Кантора

Мебіус (Möbius 1828) поставив запитання, чи існує пара багатокутників з p сторонами в кожному, які володіють властивістю, що вершини одного багатокутника лежать на прямих, що проходять через сторони іншого, і навпаки. Якщо так, вершини і сторони цих багатокутників повинні утворювати проєктивну конфігурацію. Для p = 4 не існує рішення на евклідовій площині, але Кантор знайшов пару багатокутників такого типу в узагальненні завдання, в якому точки і ребра належать Комплексній проективній площині. Тобто, у рішенні Кантора координатами вершин багатокутника є комплексні числа. Рішення Кантора для p = 4 — пара взаємно вписаних чотирикутника на комплексній проективної площини, називається конфігура́цією Ме́біуса — Ка́нтора. Граф Мебіуса — Кантора отримав своє ім'я від конфігурації Мебіуса — Кантора, оскільки він є графом Леві цій конфігурації. Граф має одну вершину для кожної точки конфігурації і по точці для кожної трійки, а ребра з'єднують дві вершини, якщо одна вершина відповідає точці, а інша трійці, що містить цю точку.

Зв'язок з гіперкубом
Граф Мебіуса — Кантора є підграфом чотиривимірного графу гіперкуба і утворений шляхом видалення восьми ребер з гіперкуба. Оскільки гіперкуб є графом одиничних відстаней, граф Мебіуса — Кантора можна теж намалювати на площині з усіма сторонами одиничної довжини, хоча таке подання призведе до появи перехресних ребер.

Топологія

Граф Мебіуса — Кантора не можна вкласти в площину без перетинів, його число схрещень дорівнює 4, і він є найменшим кубічним графом з таким числом схрещень (послідовність A110507 в OEIS). Крім того, граф дає приклад графу, усі підграфи якого мають кількість перетинів на два і більше від кількості перетинів самого графу. Однак він є тороїдальним — існує його вкладення в тор, при якому всі його грані є шестикутниками. Двоїстий граф цього вкладення — це граф гіпероктаедра K2,2,2,2.

Існує навіть більш симетричне вкладення графу Мебіуса — Кантора в , що є регулярним відображенням і має шестеро восьмикутних граней, в якому всі 96 симетрій графу можна здійснити як симетрії вкладення. Коксетер приписує це вкладення Трелфалу. 96-елемантну групу симетрії вкладення має граф Келі, який може бути вкладений в подвійній тор. Такер показав, що це єдина група роду два. Скульптура Де Вітта Годфрея (DeWitt Godfrey) і Дуейн Мартинця (Duane Martinez) у вигляді подвійного тора з вкладеним графом Мебіуса — Кантора була представлена в Технічному музеї Словенії на шостій Словенської Міжнародній конференції з теорії графів в 2007. У 2013 обертаюча версія скульптури була представлена в Колгейтском університеті.

Граф Мебіуса — Кантора допускає вкладення в  (тор третього роду), яке дає , що має чотири 12-кутні грані.

Лижнен і Кулеманс, досліджуючи можливі хімічні вуглецеві структури, вивчили родину усіх вкладень графу Мебіуса — Кантора в двовимірні многовиди. Вони показали, що існує 759 нееквівалентних вкладень.

Алгебраїчні властивості
 Група автоморфізмів графу Мебіуса — Кантора — це група порядку 96. Вона діє транзитивно на вершини та на ребра, тому Граф Мебіуса — Кантора є симетричним.
 У нього є автоморфізми, які переводять будь-яку вершину в будь-яку іншу і будь-яке ребро в будь-яке інше.
 Згідно зі списком Фостера граф Мебіуса — Кантора є єдиним симетричним графом з 16 вершинами і найменшим кубічним симетричним графом, який не є дистанційно-транзитивним.
 Граф Мебіуса — Кантора є графом Келі.

Узагальнений граф Петерсена G (n, k) є вершинно-транзитивним в тому і тільки в тому випадку, коли n = 10 і k = 2 або коли k² ≡ ± 1 (mod n), і реберно-транзитивним тільки в наступних семи випадках: (n, k) = (4,1), (5,2), (8,3), (10,2), (10,3), (12,5), або (24,5) . Таким чином, граф Мебіуса — Кантора є одним з цих семи. Його симетричне вкладення в подвійній тор — одна з семи правильних кубічних карт, для яких загальне число вершин вдвічі більше числа вершин граней. Серед семи симетричних узагальнених графів Петерсена знаходиться кубічний граф G (4,1), граф Петерсена G (5,2), граф додекаедра G (10,2), граф Дезарга G (10,3) і граф Науру G (12,5).

Title: Intimations: Six Pieces
Author: Zadie Smith
Genre: Nonfiction, Essays
For the longest time, I avoided "pandemic" literature. I did not want to read about the lockdown, about the Corona virus, about Covid-19, about lack of vaccines, of how people had to migrate, what difficulties we faced as a community, and what did the pandemic signify for decades to come. I just did not want to read about it, till I did when I read some fantastic books last year such as "How High We Go in the Dark" and "Sea of Tranquility", each of them just telling me more about the human connection, and how we can only survive through empathy.
Zadie Smith's most profound and striking piece of writing is this collection of six essays about how we live – then and now, if we change as humans, if we have learned anything at all from the situation that was, and what it is now – only of course she speaks of 2020 through these essays that are about people she knows, people she doesn't know all that much, of life as a writer before and during the pandemic, of how we all learned to live, and some had to learn to survive.
The art of the essay is a unique one – to separate the personal from the public and political, and to merge them when you want to suffuse intimacy with tenderness, which she does most marvellously through these short six pieces. My most favourite piece has to be, "Contempt as a Virus" where she speaks of race, of class, and how there is nothing different between it and the fast-spreading virus.
"Intimations" is a collection of non-combative, meditative, and hits you directly from the author's subconscious and what we all experienced – that collective experience is not only recognisable or relatable, but also brings to fore a lot of empathy, as the pages turn.

Feel Free: Essays by Zadie Smith
Title: Feel Free: Essays
Publisher: Hamish Hamilton, Penguin Random House
Genre: Essays, Non-Fiction
My association with the works of Zadie Smith started somewhere in 2003, with White Teeth. It was one of those books that are actually unputdownable (I have always been of the opinion that terms such as these are nothing but marketing gimmicks). Since then, Smith has been one of my favourite writers and with good reason. Her prose is like biting into a plum – tart and sweet and almost awakens you from your stupor. It makes you stand up and take notice of how the world works and perhaps what it always was. Smith doesn't mince her words. Her characters are everyday people who speak their mind and this is also reflective in her new collection of essays, aptly or ironically (given the world we live in) titled, "Feel Free".
"Feel Free" to me is one of the books of our times. The kind of book that doesn't preach but makes so many relevant points that you want to see the world and put it so eloquently as Smith does. It is the collection of essays which are spread over five sections – In the World, In the Audience, In the Gallery, On the Bookshelf and Feel Free. These sections pose questions that we recognize and perhaps want answers to: What is the Social Network? What is joy and what is the tolerance of it, if there is something like it? How many kinds of boredom make up life? Who owns the narrative of black America? There are many such questions over a diverse range of topics and that's what makes Zadie's essays stand out.
Feel Free speaks of pop culture, culture, social change, political debate, the ever-changing fabric of society and what it really means to be human in the 21st century. Some of these essays have appeared before and some are new. At the same time, all of them are relevant and essential to most areas of our lives.
Smith's essays are sometimes written with the perspective of an insider, but mostly she is an outsider looking in. It isn't difficult to understand Smith and to me that was the most brilliant aspect of this collection. For instance, when she writes about a book, you want to get up and go read it. When she speaks of Joni Mitchell, you just want to listen to "River" and "Circle Game" on loop. To me, that is the power of great writing.
Essays are often tough to read and since they are so personal in nature, it becomes even more difficult to gauge the place they are coming from. This does not happen when you are reading "Feel Free". Zadie's essays are personal and yet appeal to all. The universal quality of her words is too strong to not be understood and related to. "Feel Free" is the collection of essays that needs to be savoured and pondered on. The one that you will not forget easily.

Tobacco Stocks Threatened by FDA Crackdown
By Shoshanna Delventhal
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says it is taking a "pivotal step" as it pushes ahead with its plan to make cigarettes less addictive.
On Thursday, the agency's commissioner, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, announced that it would propose the rule, and in doing so begins a long bureaucratic process. The move is set to disrupt the tobacco industry and accelerate an ongoing shift away from cigarettes and toward new smoking technologies.
The decision is unprecedented for the FDA, which only just received permission to regulate tobacco products in 2009, and it could have major implications for market leaders such as Philip Morris International Inc. (PM), British American Tobacco (BTI) and Reynolds American Inc. (RAI). (See also: Philip Morris, the Best is Yet to Come: Wells Fargo.)
Cutting Nicotine Levels
"Today's milestone places us on the road to achieving of one of the biggest public health victories by saving millions of lives," said Gottlieb to reporters. "As part of our comprehensive plan on tobacco and nicotine regulation announced last summer, we're issuing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to explore a product standard to lower nicotine in cigarettes to minimally or non-addictive levels," saod the Commissioner in a statement. According to the FDA, cutting the addictive substance in cigarettes could result in 5 million fewer adult smokers in the first year, prevent 33 million people from picking up the habit and result in over 8 million fewer tobacco-related deaths over the same period.
As the agency expects the initiative to bring smoking rates down from the current 15% to 1.4%, the world's leading tobacco companies, already facing heightened pressure from business groups, governments, media and consumers at large, could see demand for their flagship product fall further. Earlier this year, Big Tobacco companies launched court-ordered ads that forced them to detail the harms of smoking in newspapers and on prime-time TV, including the fact that their products kill 1,200 Americans every day.
As smoking becomes less popular in the U.S., and a sharp drop off in demand has weighed on Big Tobacco sales, companies have hedged against losses by diversifying with new products such as "smokeless" tobacco sticks. One industry innovator and the third-largest cigarette company in America, Imperial Brands (IMBBY), which strategically took the word tobacco out of its name, has taken its experimentation to a new level with chili- and pomegranate-flavored caffeine strips.

Musings of a Pertinacious Papist: How can the wrath of an almighty God be just against the limited offense of a mere mortal?
How can the wrath of an almighty God be just against the limited offense of a mere mortal?
The Apostles declared that all you must do is "believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved -- you and your household." Psalm 3:12 says: "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us." Isaiah 1:18 says "... though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow ...." James 1:17 says: "Every good and perfect gift is from our heavenly Father." St. Paul says in Rm 8:18 that nothing in this life can be compared "with the glory that awaits us." And he says in 1 Corinthians 2:9 - "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him."
Let us say that our king comes to love some obscure common man, adorns him with public offices and finally places him in command of the beautiful and fully-equipped citadel of his own empire. Now let us say that this person conspires with enemies against his own king and allows the citadel committed to his care to come into their hands. If it should happen by some issue of events that this man were captured and brought into his king's presence, what do you suppose the king would do with him? Would the fact that the king once dearly loved that traitor deter him from pronouncing upon him the penalties due to traitors? Indeed, the penalties would be atrocious, and so much the more so as the benefices previously conferred upon him had been greater. So it is with us. Even though God has loved us with a mighty love and has sent His Son to us and willed that He suffer and endure so many things for our liberation, yet despite this, He will still punish us with eternal tortures if we desert to the camp of the enemy and betray the citadels of our souls to demons.
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man the tortures and torments which God hath prepared for those who offend Him."


So what can companies do to ensure they are compliant? Here are 10 simple steps organisations can take.
In a blog last year, Steve Wood, head of international strategy and intelligence at the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), allayed concerns over Brexit, stating that "once implemented in the EU, the GDPR will be relevant for many organisations in the UK".
It means that while the UK may be preparing itself for an exit from the EU, many of its businesses and organisations will still be subject to GDPR compliance (and, after all, enterprises in the UK will still be handling EU data).
It is important to ensure that all the important decision makers within your organisation are aware of the implications of GDPR and what it means to their everyday operations.
These figures suggest there is clearly some work to be done to ensure all organisations are on board with the new proposals.
It is therefore important to establish whether your organisation is a data processor or a data controller, bearing in mind it could be both.
Auditing your current methods is one of the best ways in which to prepare for GDPR, meaning that a thorough understanding of how your organisation deals with data is paramount.
Getting your IT department involved with this process is crucial and will give you a better idea of the current capabilities of your organisation.
Examining any previous data breaches to your system will give you a clearer idea of your organisation's capabilities in reacting to future attacks, and offer a better picture on whether those procedures are capable of meeting future requirements.
With the threat of significant fines for any organisation that fails to comply, there is ample incentive for organisations to get their houses in order.
According to the IAPP, DPOs will be essential for public authorities or other organisations engaged in activities regularly monitoring data subjects on a large scale.
The DPO acts independently and will report to the very highest level of management within the organisation.
Many of the organisations affected by GDPR will be operating internationally, and may subsequently be subject to other directives that go beyond the GDPR.
It can be tricky to work out which data protection supervisory authority takes the lead when a complaint is investigated, but according to Article 56 of the GDPR, it is determined by the location of the organisation's main administration in the EU.
All of these considerations can place a great deal of strain on an organisation's infrastructure, so it is therefore essential that companies allocate added resources in which to meet these demands.

How innovation is helping to keep Liverpool's firms on top
Business news	|
Shelina Begum
Liverpool, famous for its music, sports, fashion, and culture is fast becoming a centre for tech and innovation and companies that have been able to adapt and innovate during the pandemic are now reaping the rewards.
That was according to a recent panel discussion led by business leaders and entrepreneurs on how innovation is fuelling post-pandemic growth for the region's companies.
The virtual event was sponsored by finance company Sedulo, law firm DTM Legal and digital marketing agency Castle.
Phil Whitehurst, DTM Legal
Phil Whitehurst, partner, corporate commercial, at DTM Legal which has offices in Liverpool and Chester, said businesses that have been able to 'maximise' their opportunities and position in the marketplace have been able to accelerate growth.
"Online retailers, green tech firms and those working in renewables are examples of businesses that are doing well in the current climate," he said.
"The pandemic has accelerated things that would have happened and those businesses that have been well placed in the market have been able to get to the place they would have reached anyway.
"And sadly, for those businesses that have been marginalised by the pandemic, it has also accelerated their journey sooner.
"We've worked with traditional businesses that have for example moved into producing hand sanitisers to adapt in the current climate and so the ability to be lighter on your feet and innovative seems to be more important than ever – and the pandemic has highlighted that for all of us, including the professional services."
He added: "In the last 12 months I've also been amazed at the number of businesses have been able to adapt quickly and actually remain robust and healthy."
Benn Longshaw, Sedulo
For Benn Longshaw, corporate finance partner at Sedulo, it's been a busy period with the firm advising on several deals during the pandemic including the sale of an IT company to advising a fashionwear firm which flipped from selling going out dresses to selling loungewear during lockdown.
"We are also working with a waste management company that's remained resilient and events companies that have had to go virtual, and so those that have innovated have continued to trade."
Longshaw also pointed to how Sedulo, which opened a Liverpool office this year, had also adapted.
"We adopted Microsoft Teams six months before the pandemic with no foresight of what was coming. It is something that we put in place to help staff work flexibly so when lockdown hit in March/April 2020 we had the capability to work from home immediately and continue to grow."
He added: "This has enabled us to expand into Liverpool where we have opened a central office.
"We're committed to growing in the region and we're working with the Combined Authority here too. We are starting from a solid base from which to push on and grow."
Also expanding during the pandemic was Liverpool-based Castle which not only went through a rebrand but also moved to larger office space at Castle Street.
Tristan Folkard
Tristan Folkard, managing director of Castle, said bosses at the firm decided to push on with expansion plans despite Covid.
"We managed to expand quite dramatically by going into markets that we knew would do well such as ecommerce which has boomed as businesses went online and as such, we have also grown our ecommerce team and the affiliate marketing team over the last 12 months.
"We saw where we had had to innovate and go forward to make sure the business survived. There are still firms that are investing in marketing even if it's at a reduced budget and that's allowed is to continue to work with clients, recruit more talent, move offices and remain committed to the city region."
Lorna Davidson
Lorna Davidson, CEO of redwigwam, a temporary work booking platform serving both workers and hirers, has grown the business by more than 50% and head office staff by 30% in the last year.
This has included securing new funding to launch new products, target specific sectors and reinvest in its AI platform.
The company also secured its largest contract to date to provide employment for 10,000 temporary warehouse staff across the country over the next six months.
Davidson said: "We're an AI platform that matches flexible workers with employers so when we went into the pandemic half of our customers closed their doors overnight.
"We were also going through a funding round at that point and for a moment we thought it might not happen, but that went ahead.
"In the first two weeks of the pandemic we had over 10,000 people register with us looking for employment and we picked up a lot of work in areas such as retail. We had a very strong year and we delivered.
"We came into this year with clear plans about what we wanted to do, and we became very sector specific. We also recognised that we needed to go where the actual labour was needed. So, we have continued to innovate, we've launched products such as Red Clean, Red Warehouse and Red Hospitality.
"But the one that is really delivering for us and where the big contract is coming from is in the warehousing sector. We make sure that workers are treated fairly, we make sure that their terms and conditions are good, and they get paid for their work the following day so therefore we've become quite popular."
Davidson said challenges remain in sectors such as hospitality where there's 750,000 vacancies.
"With Brexit there is actually less workers around than we were expecting at this point in the year, so of course we've now got some big challenges."
Sir Terry Leahy, Kevin Clayton, and Bill Currie
Kevin Clayton is founder and CEO of award-winning Parentapps, which allows school to communicate with parents and is backed by former Tesco boss, Sir Terry and Bill Currie, an award-winning retail analyst for Barclays and Charterhouse.
Despite struggles during the initial lockdown as schools closed, Parentapps has expanded.
"Schools realised that the traditional forms of communication were no longer effective when they're trying to communicate with parents who were not going into schools.
"We saw a big upturn in business as more schools signed up to us. We got a lot of referrals and recommendations and we hit all our targets and had a good year.
"There has been a lot of interest in the sector, and we've had inquiries from different investors, VCs, companies looking to buy. But I think ultimately what's been good from our side is the feedback that we've had not just from schools, but from the parents that use our technology because it's actually been a godsend to them."
Clayton is now looking at international expansion as schools across the globe are signing up.
He said: "We have developed a next generation app and we've now got schools in Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Egypt, and Madrid.
"That's just organic growth and the fact that schools from other parts of the world have heard about us and have contacted us has just been amazing."

The Kissing Connection Is Like Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon, But With More Tongue
How many kisses does it take to get from Charlie Chaplin to Timothée Chalamet? Let's find out!
By Britt Hayes Feb. 14, 2020
Those lovable movie nerds at the Alamo Drafthouse are at it again, this time with some hot Valentine's Day #content that is both cute and informative – and (I'm not just saying this because they're paying me) actually pretty cool. The Kissing Connection explores how movies are connected through the time-honored tradition of sucking face. It's not just some montage featuring a bunch of memorable kissing scenes, either. Think of it more like a cinematic game of Suck and Blow (get your head out of the gutter and save it for whoever you're smooshing faces with later), or Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon – only in this instance, Kevin Bacon is replaced by kissing. Listen, I am not a movie physicist but I think that analogy works.
Just watch:
The video goes way back in time to use one of the earliest and most notable movie stars as a starting point: Charlie Chaplin. We then follow his on-screen kissing partner from The Champion, Edna Purviance, as she kisses Adolphe Menjou in A Woman of Paris – and so on. Eventually, we get to Timothée Chalamet making out with Armie Hammer in Call Me By Your Name. Romantic? Yes. Smart? Definitely more than me! Informative? I mean, did you know it would take 125 kisses to get from one lovable cinematic tramp to another? I THINK NOT.
Happy Valentine's Day (or not, whatever you prefer), you doinks!

New research provides more damning evidence on active management
Although Carbon's principles of evidence-based investing are founded on academic research dating back to the 1950s, new data is being produced all the time, providing us with an ever-clearer picture of how best to invest.
The fund industry likes to produce its own 'research' in an attempt to persuade us to invest in actively-managed funds which aim to beat the market. But studies consistently prove that only a tiny number of funds succeed in beating their benchmarks, after costs, over the long-term.
Probably the best-known on-going study of active fund performance is produced by S&P Dow Jones Indices. SPIVA — or S&P Indices Versus Active — measures the performance of active funds against their relevant S&P index benchmarks. Initially, SPIVA just covered the US, but there are now regular, semi-annual reports for every major market in the world.
The US-based Morningstar's Active/ Passive Barometer is very similar. Like SPIVA, the Morningstar Barometer adjusts for survivorship; in other words, it takes into account the fact that, over time, some active funds perform so poorly that they're closed or merged with other funds and therefore disappear from performance tables.
One drawback with the Active/ Passive Barometer is that, for now, it only covers the US. That said, SPIVA has consistently shown that there is little difference in the relative performance of active management in different countries, and there's no reason to believe that, when Morningstar does eventually provide global statistics, the broad findings will differ substantially from those for the US.
One advantage of the Barometer, however, is that it measures active managers' success relative to investable passive alternatives in the same Morningstar category. For example, an active manager in the 'US large-blend' category is measured against a composite of the performance of its index mutual fund and Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) peers. Because you can't actually invest directly in an index like the S&P 500, for instance, Morningstar claims that its own benchmark offers a fairer comparison than SPIVA.
So, what does the Active/Passive Barometer tell us? Well, broadly speaking, the findings are very similar to SPIVA's. Morningstar has just released its Barometer for the year-end 2016, and these are the main takeaways:
Generally, actively-managed funds have failed to survive and beat their benchmarks, especially over longer time period
The average dollar in passively-managed funds typically outperforms the average dollar invested in actively-managed funds.
Investors would greatly improve their odds of success by favouring low-cost funds, which succeeded far more often than high-cost funds over the long term.
Long-term success rates were generally higher among US small-cap, US mid-cap, non-US equity, and intermediate-term bond funds, and lowest among US large-cap funds.
Although it's important for investors to look at long-term data, the latest figures from Morningstar do confirm what a dreadful year 2016 was for active managers — even worse than 2015, which was bad enough. When compared to the previous year, active funds' success rates in 2016 fell in 10 of the 12 categories examined.
In the first two months of 2017, we've repeatedly heard that active managers might be on the verge of turning things round. Indeed, we hear at the start of every year that active funds are about to shine, and yet the prediction usually turns out to be inaccurate.
Of course, simply due to the law of averages, there are bound to be years when active funds do better. But the evidence repeatedly tells us that persistent outperformance is extremely rare. Recently, for example, S&P Dow Jones Indices showed how, out of 1,034 US large-cap funds, not a single one has managed to beat the S&P 500 three years in a row. As one journalist recently put it, "active management has its moments. But they are just moments".
If you are still in doubt about this issue, then it's worth reading what Warren Buffett has to say about it. Despite being the most famous active investor in the world, Buffett has long advocated indexing as the best way for the vast majority of people to invest. Indeed, he's given instructions that, upon his own death, he wants 90% of his wealth to be invested in an S&P 500 index fund.
In his latest annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, Buffett said this:
"The bottom line [is that], when trillions of dollars are managed by Wall Streeters charging high fees, it will usually be the managers who reap outsized profits, not the clients. Both large and small investors should stick with low-cost index funds."
As ever, the latest annual letter is hugely insightful and entertaining, and it's particularly worth reading the section from Page 21 to Page 25.
And remember, Buffett is the most successful professional investor of our era. Very few people understand the markets and the investing industry better than he does. Whenever he provides free advice to ordinary investors, it really does pay to take notice.
