He discusses how the Eurozone economy is having to brace for a third wave lockdown and slowdown. He admires a Dutch experimental school, lamenting how strait-jacketed British school education has become. And he puzzled why companies in the UAE are helping Venezuela to avoid US oil sanctions.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Why value investors need patience - lots of it
Tim Price, director of Price Value Partners, looks at why benchmarking to stock market indices is a bad idea and why investors should think more about the preservation of capital than chasing the latest market fads. Tim discusses the surge of interest in cryptocurrencies, why gold is less rampant and why value investors, of which he is one, need considerable patience. Citing the ignominious debut of Deliveroo amongst other things, Tim senses the market may be on the point of a big change of sentiment.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Google Nest helps you sleep while virtual offices help you work
Steve Caplin, Share Radio's technology editor, is a little nervous of the idea that Google Nest can use radar to track your sleeping patterns. He is impressed by Microsoft's AR meeting technology and Teamflow's virtual office. For those dreading Zoom meetings, Zoomescaper has the answer. He also highlights Wombo, which amusingly animates still photographs, technology to detect deep fakes, electric charging pads for spongy wooden flooring, a portable wind turbine and a 2000-year-old computer.
