25% of French millennials say they haven't heard of the Holocaust – poll
Post date and time
A shocking survey released by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) has found that 25% of French millennials have not heard, or think they haven't heard of the Holocaust.
Speaking to The Jerusalem Post, vice president of the Claims Conference in Israel, Shlomo Gur said that said that "the fact that in the heart of Europe, more than two-thirds of those polled did not know six million Jews had been killed in Shoah."
The survey found that only 30% of French respondents overall, and 44% of Millennials and Generation Z, believed that two million or fewer Jews were killed during the Holocaust.
"Only 2% knew about the Drancy internment camp, located in a suburb of Paris itself," he said, explaining that it was detention camp for confining Jews who were later deported to the extermination camps during the Holocaust.
"Just 56% of Millennials and Gen Z aware of the historical mass arrest compared to 74% of French respondents overall," the survey found.

Coup de colère de #Macron contre la police israélienne à Jérusalem – France's Macron filmed yelling at Israeli security guards in Jerusalem: 'Respect the rules'

Russian sources: Moscow gave Iran the high precision tech for missiles that struck US bases in Iraq
The high precision technology accounting for the astonishing accuracy of Iran's missile strike on the US Ain Al Asad air base in Iraq on Jan. 8 came from Moscow, say Russian media quoting local military sources. They name the technology as the GLONASS global navigation system, which corresponds to the American GPS, and had the effect of reducing the Iranian missiles' targeting error to just 10 meters.
The same sources report that the Iranians launched altogether 19 missiles against the Ain al Asad base n western Iraq, of which 17 struck dead center of their targets.
DEBKAfile's military sources report that the accuracy of impact amazed US and Israel intelligence, which had not been aware of this Iranian capacity. Its significance is such that – whether provided by Russia or self-made – Iran's short- and medium-range missiles can reach any point in the Middle East that is unprotected by effective anti-missile systems within a 700km radius.
Still defending Iran's downing of the Ukrainian airliner, killing all 176 people aboard, hours after the Iranian attacks on US bases in Iraq, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed there were "at least six F-35 fighters in the air in the Iranian border area at the time" when Iranian forces "were braced for some kind of US military retaliation." Lavrov did not say whether the planes belonged to the US air force or Israel.

Israel to hand over sovereignty and possibly prisoners to free Naama Issachar
PM Netanyahu has been pressuring President Putin to release a drug-carrying Israeli backpacker – and Putin may agree. But at what cost?
The Fifth World Holocaust Forum to commemorate the 75th liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. The event, headlined "Remembering the Holocaust, Fighting Antisemitism," is co-organized by the office of President Reuven Rivlin, Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial center and the World Holocaust Forum Foundation, which was founded by Moscow-born philanthropist and Jewish activist Moshe Kantor.
US Vice President Mike Pence, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Britain's Prince Charles and French President Emmanuel Macron are the most prominent names on the long list of attendees, which also includes four kings and many leaders from such countries as Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Ukraine and Argentina, as well as the presidents of the European Commission, the European Council and the European Parliament.
"I welcome the leaders from around the world who are coming here, to Jerusalem, to mark — together with us — 75 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz extermination camp," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday afternoon, as the first VIPs arrived at Ben Gurion Airport.
Delegations from 49 countries, including 41 heads of state, are expected to attend the Forum this week, which will be secured by some 10,000 police. Israeli diplomats said that not even the funerals of Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres drew groups of foreign dignitaries like the ones attending this week's Holocaust commemoration.

The Canon EF 40mm F2.8 STM is a very slim, very lightweight pancake-style prime lens for both full-frame and APS-C Canon DSLR cameras. It features a stepper motor for fast, quiet focus, particularly important with the contrast-detection method of autofocus used for live view and video. Its optical construction includes an aspherical element and coatings optimized to reduce flare. Its closest focus distance is a mere 30cm, and a circular 7-bladed aperture ensures pleasant rendition of out of focus areas.
The EF 40mm f/2.8 STM is a lens whose impressive image quality belies its low price and tiny size. For APS-C users it's a tiny, inexpensive companion to a kit zoom, and on full frame it offers a great option for general shooting. It's taken a while for Canon to come to the pancake party, but the 40mm takes its place alongside its peers as one of the best examples of its type.
The EF 40mm F2.8 STM offers excellent image quality in a tiny, well-made package. For APS-C users it provides a great carry-everywhere complement to a kit zoom, and for full frame shooters it's an excellent general-purpose 'normal' lens. The STM motor means that autofocus is almost completely silent, but it's not super-fast.
Good for: Canon SLR owners who want the image quality of a prime in a tiny, relatively inexpensive package.
Not so good for: Photographers shooting in really low light or aiming for maximum background blur. They'll do better with a faster lens like the EF 50mm F1.8 II.

Q: export temp from Witty pi 2 to a logfile i have installed a witty pi 2 on my RPI3
But i want to export the temp from it to a spcific file
i can run a script called witty.sh and then i need to press 8 or Ctrl + C to quit
>>> Current temperature: 33.50°C / 92.3°F
>>> Your system time is: Sat 01 Jul 2017 20:29:46 CEST
>>> Your RTC time is:    Sat 01 Jul 2017 20:29:46 CEST
Now you can:
  1. Write system time to RTC
  2. Write RTC time to system
  3. Synchronize time
  4. Schedule next shutdown [25 15:04:00]
  5. Schedule next startup  [25 15:05:00]
  6. Choose schedule script
  7. Reset data...
  8. Exit
What do you want to do? (1~8)

All i want is to export the first line.
I tried
sudo ./wittyPi.sh | grep Current | awk '{ print $4 }' > temp.log

but it´s ask me for a number and then give the temp in temp.log
Is it possible to insert some extra code to generete Ctrl + C or sometinhg in the end ?

A: Maybe a better way is to take a look at the get_temperature() function in the "utilities.sh" file, and see how it is implemented. It only involves some I2C communications.

A: Just use a here string to provide the input:
$ cat tst.sh
echo "Type something:" >&2
read foo
echo "$foo"

$ ./tst.sh <<<stuff | sed 's/u/X/'
Type something:
stXff

and if your shell doesn't support here strings then use a here document instead:
$ ./tst.sh <<EOF | sed 's/u/X/'
> stuff
> EOF
Type something:
stXff

So you'd do (you never need grep when you're using awk):
sudo ./wittyPi.sh <<<8 | awk '/Current/{ print $4 }' > temp.log

or:
sudo ./wittyPi.sh <<<8 | awk 'NR==1{ print $4 }' > temp.log

Benson Culvert (County Bridge FAS-40)
W of Gove; west of intersection of M Road and 28 Road
Benson Culvert is a double arch limestone bridge that was built in 1938 as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project. The bridge's construction is typical of limestone structures built in this area during the early 20th century and is representative of the master stone builders and craftsmanship of construction workers trained by the WPA. In September 1937, County Engineer Frank Tyson announced an "extensive culvert campaign" and the use of WPA workers to quarry local rock and construct several similar bridges. The Benson Culvert - likely so called because it was near Charley Benson's property - was opened to traffic in June 1938. It is located southwest of Gove on a rural county road near the intersection of M Road and 28 Road. It spans a tributary of Plum Creek and water flows beneath the bridge only during seasonal rains. It was nominated as part of the New Deal-era Resources of Kansas and Masonry Arch Bridges of Kansas multiple property nominations for its local significance in the areas of social history, government, and architecture.

PTI leader Farrukh Habib tries to stop a police vehicle by standing in front of it.
Amid drama surrounding Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) Senior Vice President Fawad Chaudhry's detention in Lahore, senior party leader Farrukh Habib tried to stop the police motorcade transporting the former at the Kala Shah Kaku toll plaza.
Farrukh —who was continuously chasing the police convoy — also engaged in a scuffle with the police in the attempt to stop them.
As per details, the Islamabad Police had shifted Fawad to Services Hospital in Lahore for a medical check-up, after which they left for Islamabad despite the court's order to present him before it by 2:00pm.
In the videos shared on social media, the PTI leader and workers can be seen blocking the road and standing in front of a police vehicle in order to stop it from moving ahead.

What does the song thats not my name by the ting things mean?

Slavery Reparations Could Cost Up to $14 Trillion, According to New Calculation
Nappy Newz 4 years ago 2 min read
In 1865, toward the end of the Civil War, Union Army General William Tecumseh Sherman promised slaves that they'd receive 40 acres and a mule. Land was even set aside, but the promise was recanted by President Andrew Johnson. Ever since, the issue of reparations has come up many times, often fiercely debated. Although most Americans generally don't support reparations, according to University of Connecticut researcher Thomas Craemer, it matters greatly how the question is worded, who would get reparations and in what form. For example, the idea of reparations paid in educational benefits are more popular than others, Craemer says.
On the other hand, one of the cases often made against reparations is that it'd be impractically difficult to calculate how to fairly take and give so many years after the fact. But in a new paper, published in the journal Social Science Quarterly, Craemer makes the case that there are other examples of historical reparations paid many decades later after "damages" were incurred. He also has come up with what he says is the most economically sound estimate to date of what reparations could cost: between $5.9 trillion and $14.2 trillion.
Craemer came up with those figures by tabulating how many hours all slaves—men, women and children—worked in the United States from when the country was officially established in 1776 until 1865, when slavery was officially abolished. He multiplied the amount of time they worked by average wage prices at the time, and then a compounding interest rate of 3 percent per year (more than making up for inflation). There is a range because the amount of time worked isn't a hard figure.

Help launch a new model for community journalism. DONATE to Banyan today.
Tom Stites
Tom is founder and president of the Banyan Project, which is pioneering a sustainable and easily replicable new model for community Web journalism that's built on the sturdy and inherently equitable and inclusive base of consumer co-op ownership. Banyan's mission is to help seed independent news co-ops in underserved communities across the nation and to support them with an array of services that are tailored to help them thrive and activate community engagement. Tom shaped Banyan's distinctive model as a fellow of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.
Tom is a seasoned editor and entrepreneur with a passion for strengthening journalism, democracy and justice. As an editor he has supervised reporting that has won an array of major journalism awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes. He broke in as an entrepreneur as the founding editor and publisher of Jazz Magazine; he has also been the founding publisher of another print magazine and three Web publications in addition to Banyan. His writings on strengthening journalism and democracy have been published by the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, at Harvard; Nieman Journalism Lab, at Harvard; the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy; Nonprofit Quarterly, and the Poynter Institute for Media Studies. [See links to samples of articles and speeches, below.]
Positions Tom has held include national correspondent, national editor, and associate managing editor for project reporting at The Chicago Tribune; night national editor of The New York Times, and managing editor of The Kansas City Times. He later served for a decade as the editor and publisher of UU World, the national magazine of the Unitarian Universalist religious denomination, and he has served for 15 years as consulting editor for the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. Perhaps most crucial to Tom's Banyan leadership is his experience, when he was 21, as managing editor of a county seat weekly newspaper in rural Missouri.
Tom grew up in Kansas City and attended Williams College. He has taught in the Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago and conducted seminars at several journalism schools. In 2006 he was a resident fellow at Harvard Divinity School, where he did research on power and the conscience. See Tom's full resume. Contact him at tom@tomstites.com.

The Challenge of Muslim Migrants into Christian-Heritage Societies
If all the Arabs . . . of Algeria were considered French, how could they be prevented from settling in France? My village would no longer be called Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises but Colombey-les-Deux-Mosquées.
Can Muslim immigrants integrate into the Christian- heritage societies of the West?2 In view of recent international events, many citizens of the host societies would answer with a re- sounding no.
Although tensions involving Muslim immigrants in Europe's Christian-heritage societies had been brewing throughout the 1980s, the fatwa issued by Iranian revolutionaries in 1989 against Salman Rushdie for his supposedly anti-Islamic novel marked a clear violent turn in what came to be known as "political Islam."3
Several failed attempts at terrorist attacks by Islamicist groups on European tar- gets followed. But successful ones occurred, too: bombings in Paris and Lyon in 1995–1996; the 2001 al-Qa'ida attacks in the United States; the 2002 terrorist acts in Bali in which Australians suffered the bulk of the casualties; the Islamicist-inspired bombings in Spain (2004) and London (2005); the murder of Theo van Gogh in the Netherlands in 2004 for his depiction of Muslim sexuality; the un- ceasing violence against Kurt Westergaard for his unflattering portrayal of the Muslim prophet in a Danish cartoon published in 2006; the brutal attacks on soldiers in Britain and France by Islamist militants in 2013; the evidence of Muslim citizens from Christian- heritage societies joining jihadist militias in Syria and Iraq in 2014 with some anxious to deploy their newly developed murderous skills upon their return to Europe; and the hideous murders in the edito- rial offices of Charlie Hebdo and in the Hyper Casher supermarket in Paris perpetrated by self-proclaimed jihadists in the name of Islam in 2015. These events all have contributed to portray Muslims as posing a threat to Christian-heritage societies.
It is no wonder, then, that a spate of books depict a clash of civili- zations, with images of the Crusades permanently setting a boundary between the worlds of Christian and Islamic cultures. Even the most secular European elites—as exemplified by the epigraph from President de Gaulle—see their society as fundamentally Christian. The clash today is portrayed as that between Muslim immigrants and their host populations (Caldwell 2009).
Such accounts justify the Islamophobia of ordinary citizens in Christian-heritage societies by presenting it as a rational response to a clear and present danger.4 In this context, Islamophobia would simply be the host populations' legitimate answer to a real Muslim threat.5
Survey-based evidence confirms that Muslims are widely perceived as a menace by host populations in Christian-heritage societies. In France, 43% of individuals interviewed in 2012 in a survey sponsored by the newspaper Le Figaro agreed with the statement that the Muslim community in France is "a menace to the identity of France." Only 17% thought of this community as "a factor that culturally enriches our country" (the remaining 40% could not decide between these two options) (Institut français d'opinion publique [IFOP] 2012).
In Germany, the Religion Monitor6 found that 51% of those inter- viewed in 2013 believed that Islam poses a threat to their way of life.7 Even young Europeans, who are supposed to be more tolerant than their parents toward immigrants (see Ford 2012a, 2012b), ex- press anti-Muslim sentiment. Of the 1,000 18- to 24-year-olds interviewed in Britain by BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat in June 2013, 27% said they do not trust Muslims (this proportion is only 16% concerning Hindus or Sikhs, 15% concerning Jews, 13% concerning Buddhists, and 12% concerning Christians).8
The justification of such distrust by one of the respondents is revealing: "When you hear about terrorism, more often than not it is Muslims that have carried it out. I just feel they're all out to do that, they're all the same" (Kotecha 2013).
This book puts the assumptions driving Islamophobia to test. Evidence to date leaves two questions unanswered: First, is the host population in Christian-heritage societies really Islamophobe? Many experimental studies have shown that Muslim immigrants from Muslim-majority countries—that is, those with greater than 50% of the population and here listed in Table 1.1—are discriminated against relative to natives on an everyday basis.
But it is not clear whether such discrimination is due to religion per se (Islamophobia) or to confounding factors, such as region of origin (xenophobia). Caldwell's (2009) widely acclaimed book provides a good example of this confound.
He illustrates his claims of a Muslim challenge to France with an incident involving a Congolese immigrant. While traveling by train in France without a ticket, this immigrant was stopped by the police, shouted for help, and found solace among a crowd chanting "Nique la France" (Fuck France). Yet the incident in no way illustrates a Muslim effect.
Not only was the Congolese man, whose name is Angelo Hoekelet, not likely a Muslim; the incensed crowd was also not necessarily Muslim (Laitin 2010). Identifying whether religion is, in and of itself, a special source of discrimination against Muslim immigrants from Muslim-majority countries carries important im- plications for how we frame the issue and seek solutions. And yet, research to date has assumed, rather than shown, that religion is the source.
Second, if Islamophobia is confirmed, is it indeed a rational response to a real threat? Or is Islamophobia at least partly nonrational, meaning that the rooted populations in Christian-heritage societies discriminate against Muslims even when they do not expect any particular hostility from the Muslim immigrants with whom they interact?
Answering this question is vital for devising policy prescriptions. Islamophobia is likely to be self-perpetuating, whereby both…
Evidence of Nonrational Islamophobia
When there's one [Muslim], that's OK; it's when there's a lot of them that there are problems.
—Brice Hortefeux, former French minister of interior1
We learned in Chapter 6 that there are Muslim traits that feed statistical discrimination against Muslims. But is anti- Muslim discrimination also taste based? Do we observe that rooted French discriminate against Muslims even when they do not expect any particular hostility from Muslims with whom they interact?
Our answer, as we develop it in this chapter, is yes. We proceed as follows. In the first section, to identify whether anti-Muslim discrimination is taste based, we analyze the behavior of our subjects as they played the simultaneous trust game. Our results show that, while our FFF players do not distrust the SMs more than the SXs, they are more altruistic to their coreligionists (the SXs) than they are to those with whom they do not share a religion (the SMs).
In the second section, we examine FFF behavior toward SMs and SXs after a period in which they met each other in informal discussions, meeting the criteria of a potentially prejudice-reducing level of group contact. We show that FFF distaste toward SMs (relative to SXs) is somewhat ameliorated but still significant.
Moreover, and this is shown in the third section, FFF distaste for Muslims is regenerated when the proportion of Muslims around them increases. Overall, we find strong evidence that Islamophobia in France cannot be deemed (and justified) as being only a rational response to differences in Muslim cultural norms and practices.
The Simultaneous Trust Game: A Matter of Taste
Social psychology has revealed a tendency among human beings to nonrationally discriminate against non coethnics from an outgroup. People tend to be more hostile toward outgroup members, even when they do not expect these out-group members to represent any real threat to them. Henri Tajfel (1970), a prominent social psychologist, demonstrated this tendency in a famous experiment (followed by a series of others) in which he showed his subjects a set of juxtaposed reproductions from the paintings of Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee.
These subjects were asked for each Klee–Kandinsky pairing which painting they preferred. He then created two teams, one in which subjects preferred Klee's paintings in the majority of cases (this team was called the "Klee team") and one in which subjects pre- ferred Kandinsky's in a majority of cases (this team was called the "Kandinsky team"). Subjects were informed of the logic behind this sorting. They therefore knew that group membership was not based on anything cultural, ethnic, or intellectual; it was as good as a random sorting. Third, each subject was given cash to distribute to two fellow players—one from each team—to reward them for their collective work. The results were unambiguous: subjects gave a larger share of the offering to members of their own team. In other words, the Klees discriminated against the Kandinskys (and vice versa) based on nothing other than a recently created identity reflecting no antagonism between the teams.
Do we observe a similar pattern in our experiments?2 Do FFFs side with SXs (on their religion team) rather than with SMs even if they do not expect more cooperation from SXs than from SMs? We begin to address this question by relying on the first of our experimental games, the simultaneous trust game (see Chapter 5 for the protocols). In its basic outline, from our experimental group of ten players,

How many of you are tired of seeing barbies lying around the house in various stages of disarray .. I am !! Lil P has 7 barbies gifted to her.. (God,Why!!!!) On a whim she keeps changing their dresses.. and with the dolls having stiff hands and unsightly shapes, most of their original dresses are torn.
I picked up her old socks lying around (the ones she had outgrown) and I had kept aside to make the gnomes – a snip here and a snip there and voila.. We had our very own No sew barbie dresses. Don't these lasses look pretty now? Lil P is over the moon. We turned our white socks into night wear and the colored ones for day time.. I made them a little trendy by adding a satin bow to their waist.
Here's how I made them ..
Lay down an old sock flat on a table .. a 2-4 year old size works best because the heel part umm falls correctly over the barbies bum.. if u know what I'm saying..
Cut as shown in diagram.. and you are done..
If you want to make it fancier, you can use glue , sequins, ribbons as a bow or a sash or a belt.. .or create a sleeveless dress..
Unbelievable! I'm set for my Sunday. Thank You.
@OM- High Five! I knew all moms of girls would be mighty pleased.
nice idea Shurthi! quite innovative.
i tried similar outfit made using worn out socks earlier and guess what Adithi's response was?! she said "amma! the weather we have is so hot to wear winter clothing kind, please make her some party wear outfits! girls and their ideas! god save us mothers!
she conducts barbie(s)'s b'day parties, engagement, and even wedding! and hence orders new outfits to be made by me when she gets tired of the old ones!
View all the Barbie Dresses made for Adithi!
Gasp! Shruthi!! Have I told you that I love you?! Then here it is. Love you and hugs!!
We have these marapachi dolls(wooden dolls, like the ones you would have seen in Art's golu) at home with which the girls play dress up. Till now they use my old, unused saree falls as saree for the dolls. With summer coming up, this will be such a great project for them.
@ UTBT – Upcycle everything I say.. We tried styling the sock dresses yesterday.. Will do a follow up post soon..
@Esther – and so easy too. I really was tired of seeing those dolls without clothes..
Wow! you should pattern this, Shruti! such a brilliant idea.
@Boo – LOL.. But we are loving it.
That is such a lovely idea. I really get pissed when I see the naked Barbies in my daughter's room. Every girl that I know does it. No idea why. Really crazy. I usually end up cutting off some pieces from my daughter's outgrown tops and do a fast hand sewing to make the dress. But this is super easy. I'm definitely going to try this.
@ayesha 🙂 Thank you. and welcome here.
Dunno how i missed this post!
This is an awesome idea Shruti 🙂 I hope i'll find some socks for the project. Ammu will be super excited!
Wow, thank you so much, I have to make some dresses for my niece barbies for our web series but I have no sewing skills. This helps alot.
I just made these. Very cute and quick. I too am tired of seeing naked barbies.


Move over, Gustos, and make room for Baja. Off the restaurant alley behind the Itaewon McDonald's is unexpectedly authentic Mexican restaurant Little Baja. Run by former SAHS student Brian Kim, this taco joint offers the student body yet another Mexican option for any Falcon craving cuisine from south of the border.
Baja tacos are affordable, ranging downwards of ₩6,000. Influenced by the cuisine of the Mexican state Baja (below California), Little Baja has a strong seafood specialization, offering fish, octopus and shrimp tacos. "I don't even consider my place a 'Mexican restaurant' per se, but more of a 'fish taco spot' - something very common in southern California and Baja, Mexico," Kim said.


I would like to know a good quality lip gloss which is not very sticky and thick and which costs around 250 INR .
can Nivea lip balms be used as lip glosses ?
You can certainly try the tinted ones. Cherry and Pomogranate are the most tinted.
ive heared recently launched maybelline high shine glosses are the least sticky!

Panic as hundreds of fish die in Lake Naivasha
Hundreds of fish have died in the troubled Lake Naivasha in controversial circumstances raising anxiety and fear among fishermen and stakeholders.
And as the mass deaths were reported all fingers are pointing to a group of Chinese fishermen who have been fishing in the lake in the last one year.
The most affected are immature fish which were found flouting near the shores of the lake along Kamere beach with fears that they could have been poisoned.
Following the move, irate fishermen raided Valley Breeze hotel where the foreign fishermen have been camping and confiscated their fishing equipment and boats.
At one time, armed police had to intervene and cordon the hotel from the fishermen who accused the management and the fishermen of killing the local fishing sector.
According to the chairman Lake Naivasha boat owners association Davdi Kilo, fishermen working around the beach spotted the floating dead fish and informed their colleagues.
He said the blame lay squarely with the county government which licensed the Chinese to fish using their equipments noting that this has seen a sharp drop in fish catch.
"This marks the darkest moment for Lake Naivasha as hundreds of fish have died and others could die due to the uncouth methods used by the so called investors," he said.
Killo said that they could not stand back and watch adding that they had reported the issue to the necessary government agents adding that they were waiting for action.
"In all the years it's the fishermen who have funded fish restocking and we are asking how the Chinese are allowed to fish using undersize and illegal nets," said an irate Kilo.
Area MCA Peter Pallang'a condemned the move adding that he would raise the issue with the county assembly with a view of having the investors' licenses cancelled.

Whiskey Reviews
This One Is Different
Bybrettatlas December 13, 2016 0 Comments
Beam Suntory has completed its trilogy of controversial 2016 announcements, as it confirmed late last week it would be raising the price of Booker's from $59.99 to $99.99, and also reducing output from six batches to four. Earlier this year, Beam released 3 batches of Knob Creek 2001, a 14-year version of its 100 proof bourbon at a suggested price of $129.99, as well as a one-time-only (we are told) release of 13-year cask strength Booker's Rye at a whopping $299.99 retail price.
I've written about Booker's Rye before, and I had no issues with their pricing of it. It truly is a remarkable whiskey and, if the story about Booker laying these barrels down and then passing away with the recipe, it's also a rare piece of history in a bottle. Cask strength 13-year rye whiskeys are a rare find indeed, and if Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye (just 6 years old) sells for near $300 in the secondary market, I gave Beam a pass on charging the higher price for a whiskey that would never be released again.
The Knob Creek 2001 is a little different situation, but does get us closer to the matter at hand. As someone who began his whiskey journey drinking a lot of Knob Creek, I was pretty excited when I first heard of this release. The 14-year old whiskey is the oldest Knob Creek ever released and it was released in 3 separate batches with 3 different taste profiles. It was started by Booker himself, and finished by his son Fred, so there is a nice tip of the cap from a son to his legendary father. I have no problem with 2 releases this year honoring Booker Noe, completing two of the last projects he worked on. On paper these seem like rare gifts to us whiskey fans.
In reality, however, there were around 36,000 total bottles of the Knob Creek 2001 released at $129.99 and they are still sitting on store shelves in grocery stores everywhere. I have tried all three batches of the whiskey and without question (to my palate at least) it's not as good as the standard Knob Creek release and far inferior to a couple of decent store picks I've had recently. Further, though some people did enjoy the whiskey, the majority I have spoken with did not, and nobody said they would consider paying above $90 for another bottle. This is telling, since I can run out and get a bottle of this just about anywhere. More telling, still, is that for a "limited release" bourbon, in the current frothy and often hysterical climate we now live in, people are selling these bottles in the secondary market at a net loss.
Which brings us to Beam's latest announcement about Booker's bourbon. I've never been a fan of Booker's bourbon, but I always felt it was priced about right for a workhorse cask strength bourbon. It's also available nearly everywhere including my grocery stores, Costco and Whole Foods. Either Beam is producing too much of it, or the price is too high, right?
Wrong. Beam's explanation included "supply constraints and the value we place on the product." I call bullshit on supply constraints based on a highly scientific test I've developed called "I see it everywhere and nobody is buying it." W.L. Weller 12 and Elmer T. Lee can get away with "supply constraints" excuses because people want to buy them and can't find them. My mother-in-law could bring me a case of Booker's by lunchtime with minimal instruction.
It's the last part of Beam's statement that tells the full story, and it shows why they have missed the mark so badly here. When you see limited edition whiskeys sell for $100 and up, it's easy to feel that your flagship bourbon deserves the same. Four Roses and Michter's, for example, have multiple limited annual releases that rarely see store shelves and sell for over $100 each. Booker's releases different batches with different names like "Dot's Batch" and "Big Man, Small Batch", but the public perception is not quite the same, is it?
David Perkins from High West told me recently, "Whiskey drinkers want two things: (1) Something they've never had, and (2) Something they can't get." In the current climate, people are allocating more dollars to things that seem rare, things that are new, and Booker's just doesn't fit that mold. What Beam should have been doing all along is scale back production to address the fact that demand isn't meeting supply. That's just smart business. Then, if demand begins to outstrip supply, you have two options: (1) You can raise your prices, or (2) You can produce more whiskey to meet demand.
What Beam has foolishly done here is attempted to cheat the market, and unfortunately, its loyal customers. They have basically tipped their hand and announced that they are going to manufacture a Booker's shortage in order to justify raising their prices over 60%. They are betting that the whiskey hunters will see Booker's less often, perceive it like Weller 12 or Elmer T. Lee, and therefore snatch up every bottle they find. If I've learned anything from 2016, it's that you can't rule out even the craziest of outcomes, but I can't see this strategy working out.
The Booker's Rye was a smashing success, it was hailed as the whiskey of the year by many, and I believe it deserved a premium price. It was a truly unique whiskey that shrugged off any controversy and will likely be sought after for years to come. Booker's bourbon, on a similar level to something like Stagg Jr., is now going to be priced equal to George T. Stagg, a 15-year old powerhouse that is only released once a year in very small quantities. One has to wonder if this move was timed to coincide with the recent Booker's Rye accolades, elevating the price and perception of everything bearing the Booker's Name by association.
Four years ago, Maker's Mark announced they were going to lower their proof from 90 to 84 due to a "supply shortage" but quickly reversed after a customer backlash. I haven't had any trouble finding Maker's Mark bourbon anywhere in the United States since then, but I have seen a whole bunch of new Maker's Mark products including several new cask strength versions. I guess they found their way through their "supply shortage."
Perhaps Beam should have considered a different experiment, akin to Elijah Craig or Orphan Barrel Rhetoric, and release a new Booker's each year that is an additional year older. While continuing to serve the segment of the whiskey community devoted to regular Booker's bourbon, they can also have their shiny new toy to offer for premium prices. Another option would be to hire an economist.

After a game against the host school of the Pleasant Plains Classic was rained out on Friday night, the Nokomis Redskins were re-scheduled to play two games on Saturday, April 7.
Solid all-around performances from the Skins earned them a 7-1 win against Beardstown and a 15-4 win over Holy Trinity.
First up was Beardstown, with the Skins putting Carter Sabol on the bump for his fourth start of the season. Sabol gave up a run in the first, but the Nokomis bats backed him up, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning.
Sabol would settle in from there, throwing three shutout innings. In those three innings, the Skins would add two runs and take a 5-1 lead. Evan Herpstrieth came into relief for the Skins and picked up right where Sabol left off.
In the final three innings of the game, Nokomis picked up a couple of insurance runs, but Herpstrieth didn't need them, as he held Beardstown scoreless to end the game at 7-1. Drew Masset had three hits, driving in three for the Skins.
The Redskins had to wait for Beardstown and Pleasant Plains to play before getting back out on the field to play Holy Trinity. Plains would win 9-1, sending Beardstown home 0-2.
The time in between games didn't slow up the Redskin bats, though. As Nokomis starting pitcher Drew Masset continued to sit down opposing batters, the Skins scored more and more runs.
After gaining a 3-0 cushion through three innings, Nokomis broke out in the fourth, scoring 12 runs. The big inning virtually ended the game, as the Skins would go on to a 15-4 short-game win.
Masset threw four no-hit innings, while Alex Tosetti and Marc Grigoroff each had two hits for the Skins. Ryan Janssen also hit a home run, his second of the season.
The two wins are exactly what Nokomis needed, as they are now on a three-game win streak and have evened their record at 3-3. They have a busy week ahead of them, starting at Shelbyville on Monday and at Taylorville on Wednesday. Shelbyville will enter Monday's game with a record of 7-6, while Taylorville currently sits at 8-3.
Multiple Hits: Nokomis - Alex Tosetti (2-2, 3R), Drew Masset (3-4, 1R, 3RBI).
Multiple Hits: Nokomis - Alex Tosetti (2-3, 2R, 1RBI), Marc Grigoroff (2-3, 2R, 2RBI). 2B: Nokomis - Drew Masset 1. HR: Nokomis - Ryan Janssen 1.

New moth species named for Donald Trump's hair
Scientists have named a newly discovered species of moth after Donald Trump. Researchers named the moth after the President-elect because the new moth, in adult form, boasts a series of yellowish-white scales on its head, resembling the hair of Trump.
The moth, Neopalpa donaldtrumpi, was formally introduced in the latest issue of the journal ZooKeys. It is one of two species within a genus of twirler moths.
N. donaldtrumpi and its relative are both found throughout Southern California, as well as across the border in Baja California, Mexico.

Evraz and Gazprom to cooperate developing hydrogen technologies
Evraz aims to pursues low-carbon initiatives and exploring the modernisation of its production facilities to contribute to climate stability.
Ethan Mandel Follow on Twitter Send an email 3 June 2021
Evraz (a leading Russian steelmaker) and Gazprom Neft (the third-largest oil producer in Russia and a subsidiary of Gazprom) have agreed to cooperate on developing technologies to produce, transport, store, and use hydrogen as well as reduce CO2 emissions.
Under the agreement, Gazprom Neft will share its expertise in CO2 disposal given its involvement in Serbia's NIS (a joint venture of Gazprom Neft and the Republic of Serbia) since 2015. The Serbian project implemented the collection and purification of high-CO2 natural gas at a number of deposits, with the extracted CO2 pumped back into around 2,500 meters deep developed reservoirs.
Evraz sees hydrogen as a high-potential green energy source. It will assess the feasibility of capturing CO2 for disposal or utilisation purposes. In addition, it aims to switch its steelmaking facilities from hydrocarbons to methane-hydrogen fuels to reduce emissions.
Aleksey Ivanov, Senior VP, Commerce and Business Development of Evraz, said, "Reducing GHG emissions is one of the priorities Evraz sets in its environmental strategy.
He further added, "I am positive that CO2 entrapment, disposal and utilisation technologies, as well as the use of hydrogen as energy source, have a huge potential for our coal and steelmaking assets."
"We routinely dispose of CO2 by pumping it back into oil and gas reservoirs as part of our operations; we have accumulated significant experience of such projects and we are ready to share this expertise with our partners and the market at large."
Vadim Yakovlev, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Gazprom Neft, said, "According to the available expert opinions, pumping CO2 back into reservoirs is indispensable for delivering on the global CO2 emissions reduction targets."
Mr Yakovlev further added, "We want to pool our competencies with steelmakers to develop green industrial technologies."

Giuliani sought to reassure the NRA, a group he once likened to extremists.
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani presented himself to members of the the nation's largest gun owners' advocacy group, the National Rifle Association, a group he once likened to "extremists," Friday.
Leaving behind his former position calling for stricter gun control, the former mayor of New York attempted to reassure an estimated 500 lifetime members of the NRA that he supports the Second Amendment's right to bear arms.
"I'm very happy to be here in front of the NRA, because there are a lot of things that you and I have in common," Giuliani said. "There are probably a few things we disagree about, but there are many more things that we have in common."
In a 20-minute address, the former mayor attempted to distance himself from his previous position supporting the Brady bill and a ban on assault weapons, and an effort to hold gun manufacturers liable in court for gun crimes.
In 2000, as mayor of New York City, Giuliani went after gun manufacturers, filing a lawsuit against companies like Smith & Wesson, Glock and Colt to hold them accountable for violent crimes involving firearms.
And in a 1995 interview with PBS' Charlie Rose, the former mayor likened the NRA members to "extremists," calling their defense of assault weapons "a terrible, terrible mistake."
Asked whether he still believed that gun companies should be held liable for gun crimes, Giuliani distanced himself, saying, "I think that lawsuit has gone in a direction that I probably don't agree with at this point."
Remade as a 2008 Republican presidential hopeful, Giuliani made a states' rights argument before the NRA crowd, and pledged to appoint "strict constructionist" judges to the Supreme Court who would uphold the Constitution. suggesting that restrictive gun laws suitable for larger metropolises may not be necessary in rural communities.
Touting his record on reducing crime as mayor, Giuliani positioned himself as a crime fighter pledging to strengthen the enforcement of laws.
"You never get a candidate you agree with 100 percent -- I'm not sure I even agree with myself 100 percent," he said. "You have to figure out who's electable, who can win."
A testament to the power and influence of the NRA, all the leading Republican presidential hopefuls made their '08 case — either in person or via video — to the invite-only crowd at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C., in a forum billed as a discussion of "Second Amendment Rights as a Core American Value."
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson -- the only Democratic presidential hopeful invited to the forum -- is addressing the group in a video message.
At the gathering today, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., delivered a swipe at Giuliani — who once likened the NRA to extremists.
"For more than two decades, I've opposed the efforts of the anti-gun crowd to ban guns, ban ammunition, ban magazines and paint-gun owners as some kind of fringe group, dangerous in 'modern' America. Some even call you 'extremists,'" McCain said today, referencing a 1995 comment made by Giuliani.
"My friends, gun owners are not extremists. You are the core of modern America. You are pretty used to hearing aspirants for public office come before you and pledge fealty to the cause of the Second Amendment," McCain said.
"You know you need to dig into a politician's record to find out where they really stand. You know some will change their position or have little record for you to judge. That is not the case with me," he said.
In another swipe at Giuliani, McCain reminded the NRA crowd that he'd voted for a congressional bill that banned lawsuits against gun manufacturers that would hold them accountable for gun-related crimes.
"This was a particularly devious effort to use lawsuits to bankrupt our great gun manufacturers," McCain said. "A number of big-city mayors decided it was more important to blame the manufacturers of a legal product than it was to control crime in their own cities. Fortunately, we are able to protect manufacturers from these frivolous lawsuits."
McCain delivered another swipe at Romney, who, in an effort to brandish his gun credentials, once said he hunted "small varmints."
"There is the hunting myth," McCain said, "if you show your bona fides by hunting ducks or varmints or quail, it makes up for support for gun control. This myth overlooks a fundamental truth: The Second Amendment is not about hunting, it is about freedom."
Romney has also been accused of changing his position on gun control, buying his first NRA membership last August.
During the time he was governor of Massachusetts, Romney pledged to uphold the state's gun control laws. He has previously supported a ban on some assault weapons and federal waiting periods before gun purchases.
More recently, Romney told a man wearing a NRA cap in New Hampshire, "I purchased a gun when I was a young man. I've been a hunter pretty much all my life."
It was later reported that Romney had only been on two hunting trips, prompting the candidate to explain, "I'm by no means a big game hunter. I'm more Jed Clampett than Teddy Roosevelt," he said at the time.
Romney delivered his NRA message via video.
"I support the Second Amendment as one of the most basic and fundamental rights of every American. It's essential to our functioning as a free society, as are all the liberties enumerated in the Bill of Rights," Romney said on the video. "I'd be proud to have your support again as I campaign for president."
Romney took a swipe of his own at McCain's support for campaign finance reform. The NRA has long railed against McCain's attempts to reform for campaign finance laws believing it encroaches on their ability to financially support the pro-gun rights candidates they endorse.
"As president ... I'll ask Congress to repeal the McCain-Feingold law, which sought to impose restrictions on the First Amendment rights of groups like the NRA to advocate for issues we care about. Some parts have already been declared unconstitutional. We ought to get rid of the entire bill," Romney said.
During the 2008 election campaign, Romney has been accused of flip-flopping on gun rights. During the time he was governor of Massachusetts, Romney pledged to uphold the state's gun control laws. He has previously supported a ban on some assault weapons and federal waiting periods before gun purchases.
In an effort to boost Romney's gun rights credentials, the campaign announced early Friday that a former NRA director of general operations, Craig Sandler, endorsed the governor's '08 bid.
Republican candidate Fred Thompson, a former Republican senator from Tennessee, received a warm welcome from the NRA crowd. He told the group his relationship with the National Rifle Association goes "way back" and touted recent campaign stops to a gun store and his visit to a gun show Saturday in Lakeland, Fla. Brandishing his gun rights credentials, Thompson said he believes gun shows are a "part of Americana" and said if elected, he would support the Bush administration's position on the Second Amendment.
In a dig to Romney and Giuliani, Thompson said his philosophy on the Second Amendment to bear arms "does not depend on his geography."
Thompson, who was introduced by his campaign biopic video, also took questions submitted by conference attendees, stating he believed gun shows were a "part of Americana" and that if elected, he would support the current administration's position of the Second Amendment allowing and protecting the rights of individuals to keep and bear arms.
While the influential gun-rights group has yet to endorse any particular candidate, Chris Cox, chief lobbyist for the NRA, said it is evaluating a candidate's past, present and possible future record on gun rights.
"We're a force in American politics because of our members," Cox explained. "They're very savvy about evaluating candidates and their positions. They're in every precinct and at every local primary and will have a major impact on any election."
Cox acknowledged that many of the NRA's 4 million members are skeptical of some of the leading GOP candidates — former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, among them — who have been accused of shifting their positions on gun rights.

Parents left with questions after SCS board approves laptop distribution to students
Watch: Parents left with questions after SCS board approves laptop distribution Watch: Parents left with questions after SCS board approves laptop distribution
By Jeremy Pierre, FOX13Memphis.com, Winnie Wright, FOX13Memphis.com and FOX13Memphis.com News Staff

SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn. — Tennessee's largest school district wants to bridge the digital divide among students.
The Shelby County School Board last night voted to give every student a laptop or tablet and even provide some students with internet access.
A lot of mixed emotions after the SCS school board decided to spend millions of dollars on laptops and tablets.
Parents told us after hearing the plan Monday night it left them scratching their head.
"I got off that call last night confused as hell," said Helen Collins, parent.
Expanded learning opportunities is just one of the five key areas of a plan to give every SCS student a laptop or tablet and provide internet access to about 25 percent of families who expressed a need.
Collins said she believes it is a good move, but she thinks it lacks a good strategic plan for implementation.

"On the live feed, parents asked about special needs, about teachers, about the overall picture of how this thing is going to work," she said.
According to SCS leaders, parents, teachers and most importantly students will take part in a comprehensive support plan to maximize these new learning resources.
How will it work?
The lessons will be loaded onto the laptops and tablets in case the district has to switch to all-online learning.
Recordings will allow teachers to "focus their time on necessary individualized learning, small groups, and well-being checks of students."
Education Specialist Eric Dunn said he believes the plan will experience major bumps in the first couple of years.
"I don't know what type of network the district is using, but we are going to need a strong network to operate the entire district," Dunn said. "They were talking about internet access. During the year so many children in Shelby County Schools go without electricity."
SCS plans to begin giving students a laptop or tablet in August.
Leaders said every student should be equipped with one by November.
The district will spend $18.2 million on student devices, $4.1 million for teacher support, and $14.7 million in tech support, supplies, and insurance.
The first year of the plan, the upcoming 2020-21 school year, would cost the district $37 million.
Years two through four will cost $25 million each.
SCS reports $21 million will come from federal CARES Act money Congress passed for coronavirus relief.
Memphis City Council is contributing $5 million.
Another $8 million will come from other state, local and federal sources.
The district hopes to sell more than $2 million in "educational advertisements" and notes they will save $3.4 million in textbooks and other materials."
#Breaking Historic vote by @SCSK12Unified Board approves device purchase and technology access for ALL students. Read more about the plan and implementation here: https://t.co/ouLgtBkc0u https://t.co/uFDi6LTh6V

More from the board meeting:
The board voted 8-1 in support, according to a tweet from Superintendent Dr. Joris Ray.
Kevin Woods, one of the board members who helped approve the plan said, "This is a huge win for the children of Shelby County."
SCS released the following information on its website:
Shelby County Schools (SCS) is moving forward with the 1:1 digital device plan to provide devices to every student in the District.
The Digital Access Advisory Committee, consisting of internal and external stakeholders, presented a second update regarding their plan to the School Board during Monday's Academic Performance Committee meeting.
The proposed digital access plan is in alignment with Plan A of the previously proposed "Transition to Improving Digital Access "plan. It includes costs for student devices and connectivity, teacher supports, initial configuration costs, and device insurance. Its success will be measured based on student academic gains and literacy improvements.
"As part of our commitment to equity for all students, providing and supporting access to technology is vital to the learning process," said Superintendent Dr. Joris M. Ray. "I'm thankful to our School Board and our Digital Advisory Committee for their valuable input as we worked to prepare a sustainable, cost-effective plan."
"As a District and School Board, our focus remains on serving the children and families of our community," said Miska Clay Bibbs, SCS Board Chairperson. "Developing a robust plan that provides digital access for all students will help us continue to move the academic needle forward – making certain all students are prepared for learning whether they are within or outside school walls."
"Great work by the SCS Board and Superintendent Ray," said Kevn Woods, SCS Board Member. "Providing digital devices to all students and Wi-Fi to those in need is an historic opportunity for our families and scholars!"
The plan address five key areas of focus identified by the District.
To reimagine teaching and learning in Shelby County Schools, we must reimagine student access to teachers, instruction and supports.
Student devices are not designed to replace in-person instruction or minimize the importance of live teacher-led instruction. They will allow for more enrichment at home and opportunities to expand student learning options.
Equity through Access
This device plan builds on the District's ongoing Equity in Action Plan, which aims to ensure all students have the same access to academic supports.
If we provide equity and access to devices and connectivity, all students will have the opportunity to further own their academic progress and pursuits outside of the classroom. This gives every student, with the right tools and teacher support, the opportunity to reach their greatest potential.
Prior to this unprecedented pandemic, SCS went before the Shelby County Board of Commissioners in 2019 to articulate the District's priority to ensure equitable access to technology as we reimagine education.
As part of last year's budget, thousands of devices were provided to students in our Project Graduation, AP/Dual Enrollment, Summer School programs to support their learning during the closure.
We know access alone is not the answer, so we're implementing a comprehensive support plan to maximize these learning resources. This includes training for students and parents, as well as professional development for our educators.
This spring, the District shared the Transition To Improving Digital Access plan, which includes a budget summary, security protocols, deployment processes, and a professional development scope for teachers and staff.
Since presenting that proposed plan in April, the team has added a phased implementation plan that includes initial configuration costs, a fiscal sustainability model, device insurance, and technical support for students and parents. This includes the parent Microsoft Teams training sessions that began June 15.
The District is also finalizing a plan to allow charters to opt- in in order to benefit from the economies of scale related to such a large digital device purchase.
Sustaining our Investment
This device plan is a not a short-term investment, it's a strategy for the future. It will be a fixture in the annual budget development processes, and SCS is working to identify strategic opportunities, such as sponsorships and philanthropic partnerships, to ensure our students continue to have access.
In May, Superintendent Dr. Joris M. Ray recommended that the District use 75 percent of its CARES Act funds to purchase digital devices saying it is imperative that digital learning be a focus in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ensuring Digital Safety & Privacy
While the District already adheres to robust data protection guidelines, we will strengthen protocols to ensure student data and privacy is protected.
Each device will include secure tracking software, federally approved content filtering and strict guidelines for acceptable use by teachers and students. There will also be clear guidelines for making clear what platforms for learning are accepted for use by both students and teachers
The District has selected vendors who have existing State contracts in order to move the plan forward at a faster pace and expedite the process of purchasing student devices. Those vendors are Microsoft and HP.
Last month, the district asked the Shelby County Commission to help support this. Shelby County Schools asked for $21 million from the county.
SCS said it hopes to use the $36 million it got from the CARES Act to help pay for the devices, extended learning, and other uses. But it won't be nearly enough.
Superintendent Joris Ray said he is pushing for the digital devices just in case students and teachers are not able to go back to school in the fall.

Q: CSS Variable Inheritance When Variable is Undefined I was expecting my paragraph to inherit from the parent style if the css variable was undefined.  Instead it inherited from the user agent stylesheet.  What am I missing?
.myapp  p {
  color: inherit;
  font-family: var(--BodyFontFamily, var(--BodyTextFontFamily, Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif));
  font-size: var(--BodyFontSize, 20px);
  line-height: var(--BodyLineHeight, 24px);
}

.text-overlay p {
  font-size: var(--OverlayBodyFontSize);
  font-weight: var(--OverlayBodyFontWeight);
  font-family: var(--OverlayBodyFontFamily);
  line-height: var(--OverlayBodyLineHeight);
}

The reason I was anticipating inheritance was because the paragraph did inherit from .myapp p when the overriding style block was empty.
.text-overlay p {
  /* inheritance happened :) */
}

i've tried using inherit as a default value
.text-overlay p {
  font-size: var(--OverlayBodyFontSize, inherit);
}

i've tried adding the parent selector to my overriding style block
.myapp .text-overlay p {
  font-size: var(--OverlayBodyFontSize)
}

i did read this post but their situation was a little different.  CSS Variables inheritance and fallback
working example of the actual situation

<!DOCTYPE html>

Default Font Styling

Expected Style Override To Inherit From .myapp rather than the user agent. Because --OverlayBodyFontSize and --OverlayBodyLineHeight are undefined

A: As @TemaniAfif has stated this is the situation:   "When the browser encounters an invalid var() substitution, then the initial or inherited value of the property is used."  css invalid custom properties


Nearly every researcher agrees that early childhood traumas (i.e. those that happen before the age of six) lie at the root of most long-term depression and anxiety, and many emotional and psychological illnesses. Severe traumas can even alter the very chemistry and physiology of the brain itself! Among mental health professionals, and even some childhood development specialists, there is sometimes a lack of understanding over exactly what constitutes childhood trauma.
A seminal 1992 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) report defines childhood abuse as "a repeated pattern of damaging interactions between parent(s) [or, presumably, other significant adults] and child that becomes typical of the relationship."
In addition to physical, sexual and verbal abuse, this can include anything that causes the child to feel worthless, unlovable, insecure, and even endangered, or as if his only value lies in meeting someone else's needs. Examples cited in the report include "belittling, degrading or ridiculing a child; making him or her feel unsafe [including threat of abandonment]; failing to express affection, caring and love; neglecting mental health, medical or educational needs."
The AAP also includes parental divorce in the list of potentially harmful events which can traumatize a child.
Many things on the AAP's list of factors leading to childhood trauma benefit from further definition. For example, what do "belittling" or "degrading" mean in terms of a child's development? What actions--or inactions--on the part of parents or child carers would lead little Tommy to feel degraded? Under this category I would include criticism, and even failure to praise him (for accomplishment, for effort as well as just for being a "great kid"), listen to his opinions, and take an interest in his activities or friends. Praise and encouragement are essential to a child's sense of competence and emotional security, and absence of positive feedback can be extremely damaging to a child's self-esteem.
Other stressors include parental fighting, domestic violence, and bullying, including failure to curb bullying behavior by siblings or peers. An absence of consistent rules and boundaries also makes a child feel unsafe.
According to the AAP, childhood trauma can also include witnessing community and televised violence. So Tommy may also grow to feel unsafe if he is allowed to watch violent movies or traumatic news footage on TV. In fact violent TV is seen by many researchers as one of the causes of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The important point is that a traumatic event or interaction must be a "repeated pattern" to cause lasting damage. The occasional slap on the wrist probably won't cause permanent harm; an ongoing pattern of corporeal punishment, or threat of such punishment, almost certainly will.
Of course not all traumatic experiences occur in the home or under a parent's supervision. Ostracism or exclusion by playmates or fellow kindergarteners has been shown to be extremely traumatic for a young child. Similarly being forced to sit still for long periods of time in day care, or at school (or at home) can be very stressful and is one of the factors that can lead to ADD/ADHD--especially in boys.
Other not-so-obvious early childhood traumas include being cut-off from nature, lack of a stimulating environment, poverty and racial discrimination (this latter has been shown to be a factor in some forms of schizophrenia). Moving home frequently is traumatic for a child (it has been linked to suicide in older children), as is a disruptive home life, including having to adapt to a parent's remarriage and being part of a new blended family (perhaps several in the course of childhood).
The kinds of childhood traumas that lead to depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADD/ADHD are rarely one-off events (even a divorce may be preceded by a long period of acrimony or instability). Single events, no matter how traumatic, are most often forgotten by young children since as the brain develops it disposes of the synaptic connections (links between brain cells or neurons) that "remember" them. Repeated events build up more of these connections and thus stay in the mind--though not necessarily in the recoverable memory.
Early childhood traumas such as the one's I've outlined are rather like ghosts in the mind--their presence is felt influencing our thoughts, beliefs and actions but they are rarely seen with clarity. Some early traumatic events can manifest themselves in ways that make us believe that other, quite different, traumas have happened to us. An example of this is how some hospital visits in very early childhood can lead to in adulthood to "recovered memories" of sexual abuse or even alien abduction (an operating theatre is very much like many of the descriptions given of extraterrestrial spaceships).
Some highly stressful events that occur during pregnancy can be passed from the mother to her unborn child via stress hormones such as noradrenalin or cortisol. A child can be born anxious or depressed! Some traumas are so severe that the resulting symptoms and behaviors can pass down through generations. Sexual or severe physical abuse are examples. A little girl can be traumatized by the abuse her mother suffered in her childhood, and may feel fearful as a result.
The most important thing to remember about childhood trauma, however, is that given a safe and supportive environment in which the child's fundamental needs for physical safety, emotional security, importance and attention are met, the damage that trauma and abuse cause can be mitigated and alleviated. Safe and trustworthy relationships are also a vital component in healing the effects of childhood trauma in adulthood, and create an environment in which the brain can safely begin the process of recovery.
Note: Consult a reputable healthcare practitioner or therapist if you are experiencing the effects of childhood trauma.
