What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide can be described as a colorless, tasteless, and odorless, flammable gas with the chemical formula as CO, which is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic to the animals, which take hemoglobin as an oxygen carrier (both vertebrate and invertebrate) when encountered concentrations that are above 35 ppm. However, it is produced in normal animal metabolism in low quantities and is thought to contain a few normal biological functions.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning can occur in brain damage and even death. As this gas is odorless and colorless, we cannot notice its smell or taste, but it can be fatal for human beings.
Points to Note:
Carbon Monoxide is electronic with the other triply-bonded diatomic species, which processes 10 valence electrons, including the nitrosonium cation, the cyanide anion, molecular nitrogen, and boron monofluoride. The carbon monoxide ligand is referred to as carbonyl in coordination complexes.
It is spatially variable and short-lived in the atmosphere, having a role in the ground-level ozone formation.
Carbon monoxide holds one carbon and one oxygen atom connected by a triple bond, consisting of one sigma bond and two net pi bonds. It is one of the simplest oxocarbons.
Causes of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide forms when the organic compounds are burned in the presence of oxygen. The exhaust gases from engine fumes, motor vehicles, non-electric heaters, and fire smoke are common production sources of carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide can also be found in any combustion fumes produced by the sources given below.
Car Engines
Boats Engines
Charcoal grills
Car mufflers
Cigarette smoke
Gas water heaters
Gasoline-powered concrete saws
Gasoline and diesel-powered generators
Kerosene space heaters
Indoor tractor pulls
Paint removers
Non-Electric heaters
Propane heaters, stoves
Portable generators
Space heaters
Propane-fueled forklifts
Spray paint
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Symptoms
Breathing in an excess amount of carbon monoxide can replace oxygen in the blood with CO. If this occurs, the person turns unconscious and leads to a life-threatening situation.
The excessive consumption of Carbon monoxide symptoms can be given as follows:
Loss of consciousness
Difficulty in breathing
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention
To avoid being poisoned by carbon monoxide, it is advised to take proper preventive measures. A few of the preventive measures can be listed as follows.
The carbon monoxide detectors must be used and placed near the CO source.
There must be much ventilation in houses with more factories or traffics in the area.
One should never ignore the symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
Sleeping near a gas space heater or kerosene must be prevented.
Unsafe Level of Carbon Monoxide
The concentration of carbon monoxide lies in parts per million (ppm), as measured. Health effects ranging from 1 to 70 ppm of CO exposure are unclear, but many people do not feel any symptoms. As the CO rates increase towards 150 to 200 ppm, there comes a space for unconsciousness, disorientation, and death.
Uses of Carbon Monoxide
Let us loom at some of the Carbon monoxides uses in various industries, where a few are mentioned below:
1. Metallurgy
Carbon monoxide is a strong reductive agent, and it has been used in pyrometallurgy in reducing metals from ores since ancient times. CO strips oxygen off the metal oxides by reducing them to pure metal in higher temperatures, by forming carbon dioxide in the process.
Usually, it is not supplied in the gaseous phase in the reactor. Rather, it is formed at high temperatures in the presence of carboniferous agents like coke and oxygen-carrying ore at high temperatures. The process of a blast furnace is one of the typical examples of a reduction process of metal from ore with carbon monoxide.
2. Niche Uses
CO has been recommended to use as a fuel on Mars. Carbon monoxide or oxygen engines have been suggested for early use of transportation surface as both oxygen and carbon monoxide can be produced straightforwardly from the carbon dioxide atmosphere of Mars using zirconia electrolysis, without the help of any Martian water resources in obtaining hydrogen, which would be needed to make any hydrogen-based fuel or methane.
Similarly, the blast furnace gas, which is collected at the top of the blast furnace, still contains around 10% to 30% of carbon monoxide, and it is used as Cowper stoves fuel and on the Siemens-Martin furnaces on open-hearth steelmaking.
Explain Why it is Dangerous to Inhale Carbon Monoxide?
CO binds about 700 times better to the blood's hemoglobin than oxygen does. When a hemoglobin molecule binds to a carbon monoxide molecule, it cannot carry oxygen. Therefore, a much low carbon monoxide level ties up with a LOT of the hemoglobin because, once it is bound, it does not let go. CO does not allow the cells that they need to live, and thus, they die. Resultantly, a person will die.
In addition to tying up the hemoglobin, Carbon monoxide has an added danger: it is odorless. You can't smell carbon monoxide, so you don't realize that you are being exposed.
FAQs on Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
1. What are the CO₂ Poisoning Causes
Ans: Household devices, including boilers, gas fires, central heating systems, cookers, water heaters, open fires that use oil, gas, wood, and coal can be possible sources of CO gas. This happens when the fire is not burning completely. Running a car engine in a confined place may lead to the poisoning of carbon monoxide.
2. Does Carbon Monoxide Make Us Fall Asleep?
Ans: Most of the people with moderate exposure to carbon monoxide experience tiredness, nausea, and headaches. Since they are mostly flu-like, sadly, the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning in humans are often ignored. At the same time, medium exposure can lead to drowsiness, headache, increased heart rate, and disorientation.
3. Is it Possible to Smell Carbon Monoxide?
Ans: The CO gas is an odorless and colorless one that is formed by the carbon-containing burning content. We cannot see it, taste it, or even smell it; instead, we can be killed by carbon monoxide. It is called the "silent killer" since carbon monoxide is a tasteless, odorless, and colorless gas.
4. Which Gas Smells Like Rotten Eggs?
Ans: Hydrogen Sulfide smells like rotten eggs. Natural gas is the one that is clean, efficient, odorless, and colorless. We add harmless chemicals known as mercaptan to result in a distinctive odor to gas for easy detection. Several people describe the smell as an odor similar to hydrogen sulfide or rotten eggs.

Charles Gaskain has been a fruit grower for 49 years and he describes 2021 as the worst year that he has ever known. There have been worse years in terms of frost or hail but in terms of "wrong weather" throughout, 2021 wins the prize. The weather kept fluctuating from one extreme to another which made it a real challenge.
Stephen Skelton MW in his annual harvest report (available on www.englishwine.com) summarises the year "as one with a late start, indifferent summer and a problematic growing season. For some vineyards this resulted in high levels of disease leading to poor, even very poor yields with some vineyards choosing not to pick at all"
Against this backdrop it is a remarkable achievement that at Domaine Evremond we actually picked a larger tonnage of grapes in 2021 than we did in 2020 and that the grapes were in remarkably good condition. We had hardly any issues with mildew. We were definitely the exception to the rule as we kept hearing stories from many of our vineyard friends across the south of England about the problems that they were facing from both downy and powdery mildew.
In his excellent report Stephen refers to data collected from 75 separate vineyards that shows an average yield of around 5.24 tons per hectare whereas as Evremond our average tonnage was just over 8 tons per hectare.
This fantastic result in a very difficult year is a tribute to the amazing work done by Mark Gaskain, Jason Streatfield and all the vineyard workers at Gaskains supported by Christelle Rinvelle, The Taittinger Vineyard Director. Christelle made frequent trips from France to support Mark and Jason.
The Growing Year
Pruning started in January with the selection of this year's main Guyot cane. When temperatures fell below 0° the pruning team stopped as the wood became too brittle. Pruning continued throughout February and into March.
Temperatures in March were around normal although at the end of the month we had a very warm spell for the time of the year when on the last day of the month the temperature at Kew Gardens reached 24.5°.
As soon as April started it turned very cold with the temperature dropping below zero for 3 nights on the trot. It was these 3 nights of hard frost that devastated vineyards across France. We were fortunate to escape any damage as the vines had barely burst their buds. April turned out to be the coldest April since the 1960s. During the frost risk period the Gaskain team help protect the vines with the application of a frost protection supplement. During April Alexandre Ponnavoy and Louis Picard came over to supervise the installation of more tanks in our temporary winery in preparation for the blending of the 2019 and 2020 harvests to create our first Non Vintage wine
May was very wet but we were fortunate to be able to plant the Appleby Vineyard adjacent to Shottenden Road in dry conditions. It was a pleasure to have Volker and his team back for the 3 days of planting. We planted 3.3 hectares. 11,000 Chardonnay vines, 3000 Pinot Noir and 3000 Pinot Meunier.
June recorded another milestone for Domaine Evremond with the bottling of our first Non Vintage wine under the guidance of Christelle, Alexandre and Louis. We bottled over 130,000 bottles that are now in Mark Gaskain's cold store where they will remain until the planned disgorgement some time in 2024. June was the wettest June on record and Mark and Jason and the team were very active in the use of the mechanical weeders to keep the grass and weeds under control in what were ideal growing conditions.
July saw a mini heat wave which added to the disease risk from both downy and powdery mildew. Flowering happened in the first part of July and it was clear that harvest would be at least 10 days later than 2020.
August was just dull ! the dullest on record. It was very cool and the vines made little progress with no sign of Véraison until the very end of the month / the first week of September. Mechanical leaf removal started towards the end of the month on the west facing side of the vines.
We started harvesting on Saturday 16th October. In 2020 we started picking on Tuesday 6th October, so we were a full 10 days later.
Christelle was at Evremond for the entire length of the harvest and Alexandre and Louis were with us for most of the time. This is a huge commitment from the Taittinger team and hugely appreciated. In addition we were very fortunate to welcome back "Monsieur Pompier" our friend Pascal Ruiz and he was joined by Agathe Seneclause who had recently returned from China where she had been running a winery for 2 years. Louis's brother Axel was also part of the winemaking team that worked flat out into the early hours of the morning every night for the 7 days of the harvest.
Mark and Jason had a team of over 60 pickers to allow us to crack on as fast as possible to get the crop into the winery in the best possible condition. There was a real threat of rot developing due to the onset of rain so late in the season.
Harvest started with the Pinot Meunier block and we harvested 3 tons more than last year and it was the same story with Pinot Noir where we harvested 9 tons more than in 2020. Surprisingly we actually picked less Chardonnay. The totals by variety were:
- Chardonnay 49 tons
- Pinot Meunier 28 tons
- Pinot Noir 91 tons
So our total harvest was 169 tons , 10 tons more than we picked in 2020 which is a remarkable achievement. The grapes came into the winery is very good condition. The sugar levels were a little down on 2020 which was no surprise given the lack of sun during most of August.
A very big thank you to everyone that made this a successful despite the very testing conditions that God threw our way. I have to make a special thanks to Christelle, Alexandre and Louis who have numerous trips over to Chilham despite the added complications caused by COVID and the need for multiple PCR tests at home and in Kent.
Merci mes amis !

An insurance policy for your vehicle has become mandatory today. Not only is it a government norm but it also a necessity. It protects your truck from unforeseen situations, wear, and tear, and reduces your overall operating expenses related to your e-business.
Benefits of a truck insurance coverage
Truck insurance comes under the category of Commercial Vehicle Insurance and is an essential factor in the smooth functioning of your business. These vehicles are bound to spend more time on roads. Hence, they are more exposed to accidents and exhaustion.
An insurance policy for truck reduces your liability and lets you conduct your business with ease.
Factors to look out for
To reap maximum benefits, you must choose your motor insurance with proper due diligence. Some of the points you need to consider are as listed below.
- Do a Check for Annual Rate
Before zeroing on the insurance policy, you must check the rates provided by other insurance policies as well. There are many ways to find out about the insurance rates of other companies. You can opt to do online research through various third-party portals or fill an inquiry form with each of the insurance providers.
- Consider the Amount of Deductible
The higher the amount of deductible, the lower is the premium amount. However, a higher deductible means the coverage will be less, and you have to bear a sizeable part of the expenses. Therefore, you must check the amount of deductible that is offered by the insurance provider.
Doing this helps you to know the amount of expenses you are expected to pay out of your pocket.
- Review the Extent of Your Policy Coverage
You must check the amount of coverage provided by your insurance provider. You need to ensure that there is adequate coverage for physical injury and damage to property. With the increased usage of your vehicle the risk, cost of repair and coverage increase. Inadequate coverage means less amount of protection.
Therefore, it is a must that you do a periodic review of your coverage amount and changes your policy provider if need be.
- Choose the Right Truck
Before choosing any insurance policy, it is compulsory that you choose the right truck for your business. Damage for the truck and its repairing cost is a significant component of auto insurance cost.
When you choose your truck model, be sure to check the statistics on collision for the particular model. Such data can be found in government records or the India Environmental Portal. Leading engineering institutes in India also perform certain studies on road accidents.
- Check Crash Repairs
You need to see where your insurance provider sends your truck for repairs. You need to be aware whether the repairing workshop uses cheaper replacement parts or parts from the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Sometimes, the more affordable parts do not fit well and may not meet the desired safety standards.
- Combine the Insurance Policy with Other Elements
Certain insurance providers charge a lower premium for drivers who are experienced, trained from driving schools and have a long track record of safe driving. Usage of anti-theft fittings and equipment for added safety in your truck also reduces the premium.
You can also choose to combine motor insurance policy with home insurance, because many insurers may offer to reduce costs if you opt for more policies from them.
- Check the Ratings of Insurance providers
Before opting for any insurance policy, it is best to check the ratings of the providers. There are many online portals, which feature ratings of the insurance providers and offer reviews of the customers about their experience and claim settlement process.
The above-explained factors will help you to avail of the most suitable truck insurance policy as per your requirements. A motor insurance calculator will help you determine the amount of premium payable and sum assured.
You can ask for a claim by following the motor insurance claims process.

CINCINNATI -- How do you even begin to renovate a building that's 83 years old, wasn't built exactly to specification and has undergone at least three major changes?
Lasers. That's how.
Hamilton County voters approved a temporary sales tax in 2014 to fund massive repairs to Union Terminal. The quarter-cent sales tax increase, which expires after five years, is expected to raise $170 million to fund massive repairs to the art deco train station that houses the Cincinnati Museum Center.
But before anybody can start fixing it, they've got to know what they're dealing with. And that's why the building's history is so important.
Watch a video that slices the building into cross sections:
Construction on Union Terminal started in 1929, which wasn't a great year to start construction on much of anything. The Great Depression put a strain on pretty much everybody's financing, so, instead of being a train terminal in the classical style, architects turned to the more economical art deco style we all know and love today.
More adjustments were made during construction, meaning there were "notable differences between the blueprints and the finished building," according to Museum Center spokesman Cody Hefner.
DON'T MISS: Museum CEO excited to start renovations
"It may be a bit of a surprise to some, but not all buildings are actually built according to the original plans and specifications," Turner Construction project executive Bob Grace said. "Union Terminal is no exception."
The whole complex originally had 22 distinct buildings, requiring nearly 225,000 cubic yards of concrete, 100,500 square yards of paving, 8,250,000 bricks, and 45,421 net tons of steel to build.
Cincinnati, ever behind the times, finished its train terminal just as air travel was taking off. It got a good amount of use in World War II, as men left to serve their country. But, by the late 1950s, the Union Terminal Company was already looking for other uses for the massive building.
In 1972, passenger train traffic had ceased, and most of Union Terminal's concourse was demolished a short time later to make way for larger freight in the train yard.
More alterations came in 1980, when Union Terminal briefly became a shopping mall. Just four years later, most tenants had moved out.
Then in 1990, the Cincinnati Museum Center moved in, and Union Terminal had even more changes to house the new exhibits and artifacts.
Which brings us to today's work to fix the crumbling behemoth.
To save architects and engineers time, Cincinnati's Truescan 3D spent three months setting up and processing 2,000 individual laser scan stations throughout the inside and outside of Union Terminal.
Each scan produced up to 100 million data points; the building's iconic rotunda and concourse alone resulted in a total of 4.3 billion data points.
In all, more than 600,000 square feet of building measurement data was collected, resulting in more than two terabytes of data.
The laser measurements are accurate to 1/16 of an inch and include detail on Union Terminal's mechanical systems, structural components and architectural components, Hefner said.
From the laser scans, Truescan3D created highly accurate 3D renderings of the building, to help GBBN Architects and Turner Construction with their renovation work.

CBN said Herbert and I were too young to buy Access Bank, Aig reveals in new book
Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, former group managing director of Access Bank, says officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) delayed the approval for the acquisition of the lender in 2001 on account of age.
He and Herbert Wigwe, his friend, had signified their intention to acquire the bank but were considered "two young" by the banking regulator.
Both of them were 36 when they made what was regarded as an audacious bid.
Aig-Imoukhuede gave an account of the acquisition in his new book, 'Leaving the Tarmac: Buying a Bank in Africa', to be launched on March 29, 2021.
In achieving the dream of owning a bank, he and Wigwe, both working with Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) at the time, had engaged industry experts, key stakeholders, and shareholders of their target list of banks.
They also appointed a team of advisers consisting of lawyers and investment bankers for support through the process.
The professional banker said his team of advisers led by Albert Okumagba, the late chief executive officer of BGL Securities, had tagged the quest "Project Festival".
Aig-Imoukhuede said their quest was becoming futile as they found out that their preferred candidates, which were banks that were doing fairly well by industry standards, were too expensive for us to be able to afford.
"On the other hand those that were affordable were either in very bad financial condition and/or operated with values and philosophies which were inconsistent with those we believed in," he wrote.
However, despite the setbacks they both encountered, "we kept on going, refusing to give up, which is quite possibly the most fundamental rule of true entrepreneurship."
Aig-Imoukhuede explained that Access Bank was entangled in a CBN investigation regarding widespread malpractices in foreign exchange, which involved a number of Nigerian Banks.
He said the opportunity was flung open when the bank attempted to raise over N1 billion through a public offer for subscription in the latter part of 2001.
"Despite the fact that we conducted no due diligence, doing little more than a 'back of the envelope' analysis, we found Access attractive for a number of reasons.
"Firstly, its board of directors included men of integrity who were well-respected in business circles.
"Secondly, the bank was quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, which implied some minimum standards of governance, and thirdly, its financial safety indicators did not point to an institution that was on the verge of failure.
"While our decision to take up the unsubscribed shares was in effect a leap of faith, it was our belief that since we would be controlling the management of the Bank we were recapitalising, the risk of losing our investment was almost entirely in our own hands."
Aig-Imoukhuede said to meet up with the N1 billion public offer, an additional N800 million had to be raised, since he and Wigwe had only to N200 million as at that period.
"Once we had raised the money, we then had to make sure that the recapitalisation comply with all relevant laws of the country.
"We ensured that every step we took in consummating the acquisition was consistent with legal requirements and would meet the expectations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the CBN and the Nigerian Stock Exchange."
After the public offer was approved by SEC, rumours had begun to spread across the financial space that the bank had been bought by "two young guys" from GTB.
"If we had hoped to be welcomed with open arms as Access Bank's potential saviours, we were soon to be brought back down to earth," he said.
"The board and management, though having realised what was happening, adopted a defensive posture. They did not buy into the idea of our approach at all, labelling our actions a hostile takeover.
"Never before had there been a case where 'mere banking professionals' could have the temerity to take on established captains of industry and buy their bank. It was unheard of.
"We did face one regulatory challenge in our move to acquire Access Bank and this was the issue of control and management. This was an issue for the Central Bank of Nigeria to determine."
Notwithstanding that members of the board of governors at CBN knew Aig-Imoukhuede and Wigwe personally, yet "we still had to convince those below them that we were qualified to run a bank, including the Director of Banking Supervision, Ignatius Imala, who was known for his conservative thinking and a tendency to be very suspicious of young bankers.
"Nonetheless, though I had acted as CEO of GTB in the absence of the MD and the DMD, even though both Herbert and I possessed strong professional track records, Mr. Imala still had his doubts and refused to approve our appointment as MD and DMD."
He compared Imala's refusal to approve the acquisition to the colonial era where a test was conducted to determine if a child was old enough to go to school, which involved asking the child to put one hand over their head and touch the ear on the other side, whether intelligent or not.
"It always seemed to me that Imala adopted a similar thought process when it came to deciding whether or not to approve our appointment," he said.
"He stood alone against everyone else around him resolutely refusing to give an explanation for his decision and without his approval we would remain in limbo.
"Luckily for us he didn't ask us not to run the bank, he simply said he would not 'approve it'.
"We were two young men with no godfather behind us and I think Imala found it hard to believe that we had managed to pull off the acquisition of Access Bank without some hidden power pulling the strings behind the scene on our behalf.
"He suspected there was a catch to this seemingly audacious acquisition and chose to take his time approving our appointments, assuming if there was a catch it would soon reveal itself. How wrong did we prove Imala to be.
"Despite this hitch we had become the owners of the bank in March 2002. At that time I was still only thirty-six years old, but I already had had ten years of senior management banking experience at GTB."
Finally, their long quest came to an halt on April 17, 2003 and they assumed control of Access Bank; however, the approval was granted on the condition that it would be in an acting capacity for two years.
"I knew that I was ready to run my own bank, but the policies regarding regulatory approval for me to become chief executive were then rather obtuse and for over a year I ran Access without the stamp of the Central Bank's formal blessing," he said.
"After the approval on an acting basis of April 2003, I was not confirmed in the post until 2005, at the end of the two-year period.
"Although this delay was enormously frustrating at the time, it would eventually work to my advantage when the CBN changed the rules and announced that no one could run a bank as CEO for more than ten years.
"As it was, I had until 2015 to continue growing the bank and prepare for a smooth succession to Herbert."
Today, the acquisition process which took almost two years has birthed one of Nigeria's biggest banks by deposits and assets with presence in eight countries across Africa, including the UK.

Hi everyone,
I noticed something strange. I get different backtest results for identical algorithms. Start Date and End Date are fixed, so that's not the reason here.
At first, I suspected that there was a bug somewhere in my code, which leads to a non-deterministic behaviour of the algorithm. But I couldn't find anything. Then I found out that sometimes NaN values appeared for particular securities in my dataframes. So the algorithm couldn't find any data for this security. This in itself is not a big deal and could be intercepted by a "data.ContainsKey(symbol)" for example. What bothers me more is that it finds data one time and another time it doesn't. As if it depends on coincidence... It looks to me a little bit like a non-deterministic behaviour is created somewhere under the hood. And I don't like that at all because it would undermine confidence in QC as a platform for backtesting and live trading.
We obviously expect that the same algorithm will always produce the same results. If this is not the case, then backtest results lose all meaning.
I don't want to share the original code here because it's intended for the alpha streams marketplace. But I created a minimalistic example with the security "INTU" which reproduces the error.
Please perform multiple backtests to get different results. For me this was usually the case after 3-5 runs.
I really hope that I just missed something and that there is a simple explanation for it.
I am grateful for any support.
Best regards,

Intellectual Workouts
Feed your mind after filling your belly! Join Ilya Budraitskis, Tom McDonough, and Maya Van Leemput for conversations around issues relating to the 6th Moscow Biennale, 2:30-3:00 PM everyday by the keynote stage. Our intellectual workouts will mix sessions oriented around key texts and open discussions where we can pose questions related to artworks, recent talks, and the broader themes of the Biennale.
"It would be short-sighted […] to think of the imagined communities of nations as simply growing out of and replacing religious communities and dynastic realms. Beneath the decline of sacred communities, languages and lineages, a fundamental change was taking place in modes of apprehending the world, which, more than anything else, made it possible to 'think' the nation. […]
"The idea of a sociological organism moving calendrically through homogeneous, empty time is a precise analogue of the idea of the nation, which is also conceived as a solid community moving steadily down (or up) history. An American will never meet, or even know the names of more than a handful of his 240,000,000-odd fellow-Americans. He has no idea of what they are up to at any one time. But he has complete confidence in their steady, anonymous, simultaneous activity."
From Benedict Anderson, Imagined Communities
"A further touchstone that imposes itself on us in present times is the intense political commitment which sets the partisan apart from other fighters. The intensely political character of the partisan is crucial since he has to be distinguished from the common thief and criminal, whose motives aim at private enrichment. This conceptual criterion of his political character possesses—in its exact inversion—the very same structure as the case of pirates in maritime law, whose concept is based on the unpolitical character of his bad deed which aim at private theft and profit. The pirate is possessed of what jurisprudence knows as animus furandi [felonious intent]. The partisan, by contrast, fights on a political front, and it is precisely the political character of his action that brings to the fore again the original sense of the word partisan. The word is derived from Partei [party] and refers to the relation to some kind of fighting, warring, or politically active party or group. Such connections to a party are particularly strong in revolutionary times. […]
"In many cases the re-interpretation goes as far as a general symbolization and the dissolution of concepts. Any loner or non-conformist can now be called a partisan, whether or not he ever even considers taking up arms. It is permissible as a metaphor; I have used it myself in order to characterize historically influential figures and individualist fights on his own account and — if he has the courage — also at his own risk. He then simply becomes his own party adherent / partisan [Parteigänger]. Such conceptual changes are notable signs of the time which deserve to be kept in sight so that the theme does not dissolve into abstract generality. Such criteria are irregularity, increased mobility of the active combat, and a heightened intensity of political commitment.
"I want to insist on a fourth criterion of the genuine partisan, […] his tellurian character. It is significant for the essentially defensive situation of the partisan — despite his tactical mobility — whose nature changes when he identifies with the absolute aggressiveness of a world-revolutionary or technologizing ideology."
From Carl Schmitt, The Theory of the Partisan
"One of the fundamental tasks of the State is to striate the space over which it reigns […]. It is a vital concern of every State not only to vanquish nomadism but to control migrations and, more generally, to establish a zone of rights over an entire 'exterior,' over all the flows traversing the ecumenon [from Greek oikoumenē, 'the (inhabited) earth']. If it can help it, the State does not dissociate itself from a process of capture of flows of all kinds, populations, commodities or commerce, money or capital, etc. There is still a need for fixed paths in well-defined directions, which restrict speed, regulate circulation, relativize movement, and measure in detail the relative movements of subjects and objects. […] It is not at all that the State knows nothing of speed; but it requires that movement, even the fastest, cease to be the absolute state of a moving body occupying a smooth space, to become the relative characteristic of a 'moved body' going from one point to another in a striated space. In this sense, the State never ceases to decompose, recompose, and transform movement, or to regulate speed. The State as town surveyor, converter, or highway interchange: the role of the engineer from this point of view. Speed and absolute movement are not without their laws, but they are the laws of the nomos, of the smooth space that deploys it, of the war machine that populates it. If the nomads formed the war machine, it was by inventing absolute speed, by being 'synonymous' with speed. And each time there is an operation against the State — insubordination, rioting, guerilla warfare, or revolution as act — it can be said that a war machine has revived, that a new nomadic potential has appeared, accompanied by the reconstitution of a smooth space or a manner of being in space as though it were smooth […]. It is in this sense that the response of the State against all that threatens to move beyond it is to striate space."
From Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus
What sort of space do we reconstitute in a venture such as this Biennale? What potential do exhibitions and artistic / creative practices hold for articulating this subversive "nomadic potential?"
"The Thing From The Future is an imagination game that challenges players to collaboratively and competitively describe objects from a range of alternative futures."

"Although exploitation and domination are still experienced concretely, on the flesh of the multitude, they are nonetheless amorphous in such a way that it seems there is no place left to hide. If there is no longer a place that can be recognized as outside, we must be against in every place. This being-against becomes the essential key to every active political position in the world, every desire that is effective — perhaps of democracy itself. The first anti-fascist partisans in Europe, armed deserters confronting their traitorous governments, were aptly called 'against-men.' Today the generalized being-against of the multitude must recognize imperial sovereignty as the enemy and discover the adequate means to subvert its power.
"Here we see once again the republican principle in the very first instance: desertion, exodus, and nomadism. Whereas in the disciplinary era sabotage was the fundamental notion of resistance, in the era of imperial control it may be desertion. Whereas being-against in modernity often meant a direct and / or dialectical opposition of forces, in postmodernity being-against might well be most effective in an oblique or diagonal stance. Battles against Empire might be won through subtraction and defection. This desertion does not have a place; it is the evacuation of the places of power."
From Michael Hardt and Antonion Negri, Empire
Are "desertion, exodus, and nomadism" viable strategies for us? What, concretely, might they mean in our works and lives?

Homeschool activities for preschool is a topic I love to talk about. Since my second child was two years old, he has been in preschool. After I stopped my cleaning business and decided to stay home, I needed a schedule. So did he! Each day we would drop off my oldest at his school, then we would come to an all day play session. I had no idea how to entertain my little son. I desperately needed a plan. Working was easy and it was scheduled. That lightbulb moment is why I am still homeschooling. I needed a daily schedule for my son, and learning activities.
Since I was a newbie at this, it had to be simple. I wanted the activities to be fun, engaging, educational and something we would love to do together. After much research on the internet, I pulled out a few pieces of information and edited it to my style of preschool. My son was energetic and inquisitive so the activities I put together had to match his personality. If I would have put together a lot of coloring or quiet activities he would lose interest quickly.
Homeschool Games for Movement
The first part of our day started with movement. Hopscotch is a fun easy game. Indoor or outdoor this game is my personal favorite. Math shapes, numbers 1-10, and patterns and much more work well with hopscotch. Preschool is a good time to begin interactive learning with games.
One of the games we played was my son's favorite sock game. Sock basketball became our number one learning game each week. We would grab all of his tiny, cute socks and put them in a pile. I would place a laundry basket at the end of the hallway. As he would "make a basket" we in turn would sing his abc's or a specific letter and its' sound, repeat some science or a Bible verse.
For most of my games we keep it simple.
Homeschool Games for Art
Art brings out creativity in children. I have never been an artist, but encourage my children to try Art. Messy Art, sketching, tree rubbings, leaf rubbings, modeling clay and much more has been part of our program each week.
Since Art does not come naturally for me, I use help from YouTube, Pinterest, curriculum, Highlights and other resources. Watching them as young preschoolers work with pottery or modeling clay gives a satisfaction as a homeschool mom. Allowing them to get messy or create the project from their view is interesting.
Finally, discuss what they made and display it. No, it may not be Picasso, but someday in the future it may be something better.
Homeschool for Letter of the Week
Our favorite game for preschool letter of the week has been hide and seek. Hiding the letter and then together looking to find the letter. After the letter is found we would seek out toys that started with that letter.
Doggy doggy where's your bone has been a staple forever even with my other children. Changing up the title or lyrics to support our letter of the week helped them to learn the letter sound.
It worked! For his letter of the week activities we used a large poster board. On that board we would post our vocabulary word, color, maybe a spanish word we were working on, then the letter.
Homeschool games for us have included worksheets, field trips, and other various ways to learn. My overall goal is too incorporate as much learning into my sons' days' as I can…. without them noticing.
What does your homeschool activities look like? Do you have activities weaved into everyday learning?

Nutrients found in foods rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) such as olive oils, nuts and avocados are linked to general intelligence, according to a study.
The researchers found that general intelligence was associated with the brain's dorsal attention network, which plays a central role in attention-demanding tasks and everyday problem solving.
In particular, general intelligence was found to be associated with how efficiently the dorsal attention network is functionally organised, the researchers said. The study found that this relationship with is driven by the correlation between MUFAs and the organisation of the brain's attention network.
"Our findings provide novel evidence that MUFAs are related to a very specific brain network, the dorsal attentional network, and how optimal this network is functionally organised," said lead author Aron Barbey, professor at the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign.
"This is important because if we want to develop nutritional interventions that are effective at enhancing cognitive performance, we need to understand the ways that these nutrients influence brain function," Barbey said.
In doing so, they sought to understand if brain network organisation mediated the relationship between fatty acids and general intelligence. In turn, they found that those with higher levels of MUFAs in their blood had greater small-world propensity in their dorsal attention network.
The findings suggest a pathway by which MUFAs affect cognition, the researchers noted.
"Our results suggest that if we want to understand the relationship between MUFAs and general intelligence, we need to take the dorsal attention network into account. It's part of the underlying mechanism that contributes to their relationship," Barbey added.

A former general who has appeared frequently in the media to warn of a coup by elements of the military against Joe Biden has a long highly partisan history of extreme hostility towards Donald Trump.
Paul Eaton appeared on a number of media outlets last month, including CNN's Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer on December 20 to discuss his Washington Post op-ed he wrote with two other retired military officers. Blitzer cued him up for a nearly two-minute speech.
The intent of the op-ed is to bring up the possibility that the Armed Forces of the United States could be infected by what we are watching develop in the Republican Party.
We tend to be a conservative lot. The military installations have a constant feed of Fox News going in there. And what we have got is an opportunity for the Republican Party, 39 percent who don't believe that President Joe Biden is the duly elected president of the United States, 17 percent of the Republican Party espoused the use of violence in a future election.
...If an entire political party is able to insert doubt into the electoral process, they are inserting doubt into the chain of command and the perception of the chain of command by the rank and file of the United States military. That is dangerous, and that is exactly what's going on right now.
The December 17 Washington Post op-ed that Eaton was referring to was the one he wrote with former army generals Antonio Taguba and Steven Anderson, "3 retired generals: The military must prepare now for a 2024 insurrection."
We are chilled to our bones at the thought of a coup succeeding next time. One of our military's strengths is that it draws from our diverse population. It is a collection of individuals, all with different beliefs and backgrounds. But without constant maintenance, the potential for a military breakdown mirroring societal or political breakdown is very real.
The signs of potential turmoil in our armed forces are there. On Jan. 6, a disturbing number of veterans and active-duty members of the military took part in the attack on the Capitol. More than 1 in 10 of those charged in the attacks had a service record. A group of 124 retired military officials, under the name "Flag Officers 4 America," released a letter echoing Donald Trump's false attacks on the legitimacy of our elections.
And after casting aspersions upon much of the military as potential coup plotters in the future the generals recommend military personnel be subjected to woke re-education, or what they call a "civics review."
What you don't find out from either Wolf Blitzer or others in the media interviewing Eaton is his history of hatred of Trump and obvious partisanship on behalf of the Democrats. One example is Eaton's praise for Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal debacle that even disturbed some Democrats:
For lo so many years I have looked for a President with guts. A buck starts here kind of person. And now we get Joe Biden. Thank god for you Sir. Thank you for your strength and guts. You did the right thing. Well done Mister President. Great speech BTW.
— Major General (ret) Paul Eaton (@PaulDEaton52) September 1, 2021
Ironically, with all his talk of a coup, Eaton was a member of the Transition Integrity Project which war gamed how to remove Donald Trump from office after the 2020 election as reported by the August 6, 2020 USA Today, "Experts held 'war games' on the Trump vs. Biden election. Their finding? Brace for a mess."
..."Out of this war game, we witnessed role-players exercise power nakedly," said Retired Maj. General Paul Eaton, a military officer of 30 years and a senior advisor for Vote Vets, a progressive-aligned group that advocates for military veterans.
And for all his talk about the danger of the military being politicized to oppose Biden, guess who urged military leaders in 2018 to speak out against President Trump?
Admirals and Generals - if you don't follow Admiral McRaven's example in his condemnation of @realDonaldTrump you align with America's most disgraceful President. Close ranks with McRaven. Continue to execute your oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
— Major General (ret) Paul Eaton (@PaulDEaton52) August 17, 2018

Another execellent trip. This time we went north to Mercer on the first day. The second day I swear we saw Don Rickels. We headed into the UP of Michigan. We were at a bar called Da Flowage. They have there own web site. I will always remeber one of the things I learned on this trip. " Sasha spelled backwords is Bob". The cabin was really interesting as you can tell from the picture of Jeff. All of the bedrooms had really interesting shapes cut that lowered the ceiling. Thanks again "Big Air" Gino, Jeff, P.K, Dan, me, Scott and "Royce"
Well I bought a HDTV Tuner card with remote for $60. A Twinhan 32500 it came with wireless remote control an audio cable and a cd. I upgraded from 768 Meg to 1.5 Gig and the video card is now a AGP 8X NVIDIA GeoForce 6200 128 meg but the motherboard only supports 4X. Everything seems faster though. I still have had no luck on the capturing the stream as an mpeg 2 file. I tried Scott's suggestion of using the same, buggy 2.65 Build 01 software, that created it play it back. It appears to try to launch the playback window on a second monitor (DVI) which I am going to test. I just wish I could find a program that would be a great software interface by changing the channels and allowed you some more flexibility with the codecs. I am trying Beyond TV for 21 days and I did try Enigmavision HDTV looks like a great playback program and give it thumbs up.. I just hope I can get it to work with the remote control! Madnas has a sample of what a good output could be. I am going to try another gig stick and see what the results are as well. Stay tuned.

Shooting In Aurora Colorado
July 23, 2012When Guns And Racism Collide
August 6, 2012By Janice S. Ellis, Ph.D., Kansas City, MO –
Closing the achievement gap for black and Hispanic students remain a major challenge for public schools all across America. There is a new school year upon us and it presents a another chance to take significant measures to close the achievement gap for minority pupils.
We're bombarded with study after study about the systemic practices in the country's public schools that encourage and include the inferior educational performance of children of color. The data support that when it comes to black and Hispanics students, there is the tendency to stir them to programs which will probably keep them from going to college or trade school, and they are disciplined and expelled from school at a disproportionate rate than white students.
Aside from the moral and unethical dilemma these practices raise, the ramifications of keeping America strong as a country of leading citizens are equally enormous. Closing the achievement gap is paramount
Irrespective of your views about equality, blacks, Hispanics, or any other socioeconomic problem, how can anyone reason that promoting, even enduring, a system that perpetuates an underclass can be good — short-term or long term?
We understand the schools in our neighborhood and the community's practices and culture. If not, we should care about what's occurring to the thousands of youth that are malleable and impressionable that may go through their doors in just a few weeks.
What are they experiencing that can shape their lives eternally? The school system, teachers, volunteers, and other staff can do just so much.
Now is the time, at the beginning of the school year, to get involved and make a difference in a child's life. We should ask our kids and their schools, during the first weeks of school, what role we can play to improve and positively impact, the learning experience in and outside the classroom.
As much as many people want to find comfort in the notion that educating our kids is left up to teachers, parents, superintendents, principals, and administrators, they actually cannot do it alone. Effectively preparing all of our kids takes involvement and support from every section of the community.
Such engagement is generally commonplace where high educational accomplishment is the norm. Examine any school where there is consistently high performance and academic superiority on the part of students, you will probably find consistent and comprehensive community support.
For those schools that are particularly challenged, like many in urban communities across the United States, community support and participation are needed even more, and in many places.
Many who would like to help kids learn may not know where to begin. Why not start with the nearest school to you, or some other school in your neighborhood? You can certainly locate a school in the urban center that needs your help, if not your neighborhood.
It's possible for you to help by committing an hour or more a week. You can offer to be a teacher's aide in the classroom. You can be a mentor, a tutor. Perhaps through a service organization, your church, or business, you can embrace a school and provide any number of support services, from transportation to other after-school programs. Work with targeted schools to reduce truancy.
Working with teachers and students at exactly the same school on a consistent basis can have an effective and powerful impact for all involved.
And we cannot leave out the needs of parents — one of the most important parts of the learning equation. Perhaps among the most important ways to help schools is to work with teachers and administrators in enhancing parental engagement. Developing and executing parental support and engagement plans that can strengthen student learning and accomplishment at home, and in the classroom, which could have a a beneficial and lasting impact.
The important question now facing us is, "What will we do to close the educational achievement gap so all of our children can have a brighter future?"
Whether the child is black, Hispanic, white, Asian, or any other racial or ethnic group should have nothing to do with it.

it's definitely wrong to have "students of color" go through some what inferior education system compared to their counterpart from both developed and third world countries..its important to note that all of us meet more or less the some sort of issues once out of school hence we all deserve equal exposure in education
Having equal opportunity is what every child; be it by religion or race or family background, admires. This is very important and surely reduces the achievement gap.
it's definitely wrong to have "students of color" go through some what inferior education systems compared to the rest of the the students in developed countries and also third world countries..its so sad to have such difference.
It's not only the race or color which contributes to achievement gap — but rather, poverty. Poverty, in all countries, is the primary cause of achievement gap. If equal opportunity and access to quality of education is afforded to every individual, regardless of the status in life, then surely, achievement gap can be eradicated. It's just a matter of making a stand that education should be limited to those who are financially capable. We are all entitled to it.
When students learn more different culture at school, it might help them how to work with different person at work. Thanks for sharing.
discrimination in any manner is a severe mistake.children are our future and we should mold them in such a manner that they embrace the culture of the country and understand the feelings of fellow human beings.unless they are given proper care and love they cannot achieve this
schools in real practice should teach the children not only country's culture and tradition but also the human values.
I agree with you, parents should be involved all the way. Education is crucial to the future of every nation, without it, I can't imagine a sustainable and inclusive progress.
Trying to find something that would benefit all students is something that is pretty hard to do. It will always be in need of continuous change in order to adapt to the very demanding educational climate.
We must also understand that students all come from different cultural backgrounds. As you have said in the article, yes, teachers and others who are affiliated with the school system could only do so much. To be able to satisfy what they most seriously need as the next leaders of tomorrow, we need to totally focus on understanding what needs to be done to help them. We must also do our part as members of the community (for example, through library programs for the unfortunate students who cannot afford to buy needed books to study) in order to help them fully grow into people that the students themselves could be very proud of.
The only time our lives will be better as humans are when we bridge all gaps and give dwelling together as humans a chance. The achievement gap should be bridge irrespective of race or color for the development of all.
I wonder, is this something that happens usually only in America? Like in European countries are black and hispanic people suffering from this as well? Or is it just the problems in America that are affecting them?
