'I suspect you'll have no choice but to go down in history.” And thus, when you're ultimately set loose upon the world.' He shrugged, his smile lazy as an old dog.

For them, you will be a speck somewhere above the horizon. When a teacher asks the class to interpret Paradise Lost, no one will be able to grab your coattails, sweet, for you will be flying far, far out in front of them all. You'll know the man sitting on an apple crate outside a gas station in Cheerless, Texas, who lost his legs in Vietnam, the woman in the tollboth outside Dismal, Delaware, in possession of six children, a husband with black lung but no teeth. After your travels, you'll know Maple Street, sure, but also wilderness and ruins, carnivals and the moon. Every Betsy sitting next to you in a classroom will only know Maple Street on which sits her boxy white house, inside of which whimper her boxy white parents. To be stupid is to die.' And so we shall live. Millet wrote in Ages of Exploration: 'To be still is to be stupid. Think of The Motorcycle Diaries, or what Montrose St. The spontaneous polarization value reaches the maximum at a fixed temperature.“Dad on Child-rearing: 'There's no education superior to travel.

Spontaneous polarization was measured using the field reversal technique. The temperature and DC field dependence of dielectric properties was shown. A new model of collective and molecular relaxations considering the domain structure of the ferronematic phase was proposed. The applied DC field created a ferroelectric mode in the nematic phase. The analysis of the results reveals the latching of the ferroelectric state. The decrease of the real part of electric permittivity in the ferronematic phase and the creation of a ferroelectric order in the nematic phase under a DC field were demonstrated.

The influence of alternating (AC) and direct (DC) current electric fields on the switching process of the polarization vector and dielectric constant of planarly aligned ferronematic and nematic phases were examined. We investigated the electrical properties of the liquid crystal compound 4-(4-nitrophenoxycarbonyl)phenyl 2,4-dimethoxybenzoate, known as RM734, exhibiting a ferroelectric nematic phase.
