Today we lost a Canadian classic: Stuart McLean a beloved Canadian storyteller.
Stuart had a radio show, the Vinyl Cafe. where he read his own stories about a fictional family of Dave, Morley , Stephany , Sam ,Arthur the dog and a whole neighborhood of various neighbors. You felt as if you were part of this neighborhood and listened every Sunday for the episode. Most people could see themselves and many people they knew in his stories.
The stories usually centered around some inept behavior that brought about mayhem. One of Canada's favorite stories was "Dave Cooks the Turkey." It was read at every Christmas season.
Stuart also included some unique Canadian music. He loved to find great performers who were not well known. I discovered some interesting music by listening to Vinyl Cafe.
Stuart also took his show on the road. It was extremely popular. I went to see him when he visited our town.
Stuart published a number of books with his stories. I have "When We Were Young" and have read several other of his books.
Stuart has won a number of literary awards and an Order of Canada.
I will miss Stuart McLean. He sort of glued us together as a Canadian society.

Spendthrifts of Time
by DW Green — December 1, 2021
Today there will be endless interruptions: phone calls, emails, visitors, unexpected events. Booker T. Washington observed that “the number of people who stand ready to consume one’s time, to no purpose, is almost countless.”
A philosopher, on the other hand, knows that their default state should be one of reflection and inner awareness. This is why they so diligently protect their personal space and thoughts from the intrusions of the world. They know that a few minutes of contemplation are worth more than any meeting or report. They also know how little time we’re actually given in life—and how quickly our stores can be depleted.
While we might be good at protecting our physical property, we are far too lax at enforcing our mental boundaries. Property can be regained; there is quite a bit of it out there—some of it untouched by man. But time? Time is our most irreplaceable asset—we cannot buy more of it. We can only strive to waste as little as possible.

The remarkable number of Baptisms, First Communions, and Confirmations among Hispanics/Latinos in Catholic parishes across the nation is perhaps the most eloquent statement about their emergence as a majority population within the Catholic Church in the United States. In fact, according to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA), 54% of Catholics born after 1982 are Hispanics/Latinos.[i] Another remarkable number is that only 3% of Catholic Hispanic/Latino children attend Catholic schools.[ii] Since Catholic schools can be the most effective means of generating Catholic identity and leadership, this low percentage leads us to ask the question: How is the Church in the United States transmitting the faith to the largest segment of its population today? The short answer to this question resides within the catechetical ministries that take place in the almost five thousand parishes where the Sunday Liturgy is celebrated in Spanish. For the most part, these are the parishes where Hispanics/Latinos feel most at home and where their children receive Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation. The organization of catechetical ministries in these parishes varies. Some of the differences include program requirements, books used, costs, and the duration of the program, and can play a role in the families’ decisions to enroll their children in a particular parish catechetical program.
Only in English?
However, the most significant question for most Hispanic families concerns whether these ministries are offered only in English or in both English and Spanish. My experience of thirty years in ministry at various levels of the Church shows that parishes that offer catechesis in both English and Spanish reach a larger segment of the Hispanic/Latino population. As a result of this approach, the faith reaches more children and their families. When a parish offers catechesis in Spanish, it also becomes possible for Hispanic/Latino parents to be catechists to their own children, regardless of their language preference. All Saints Parish in Fort Worth, TX, offers a good example of this practice. This parish reaches over 1,300 children with catechesis in both English and Spanish. The number of catechists, young and old, involved in this ministry is quite inspiring. Also impressive is the number of teenagers and young adults involved in various youth groups that come together under one vision for youth ministry and serve both Texan and Mexican parish families alike. The sense of unity that exists among all catechists and the families they serve is quite extraordinary—and they all feel a strong sense of belonging to the parish. The most important source of this unity in diversity comes from the pastor, first, and from the catechists themselves. The respectful and inclusive way in which they talk about everyone in the parish sends a clear message to the students and their families that they are all one parish community. Even though they have faith formation classes in two different languages, they come together at different times and for different reasons over the year, including bilingual liturgical celebrations, cultural functions, fundraising activities, and community services. Despite the success of All Saints and hundreds of parishes that follow this bilingual catechetical model, approximately one third of the U.S. parishes where Mass is celebrated in Spanish offer catechetical ministries only in English. Recently, while visiting a diocese in the Midwest, I met a couple from Costa Rica who told me that their newly assigned pastor had disbanded the catechetical ministries conducted in Spanish. Such a decision caused sadness and even anger among a Hispanic/Latino community that could not understand why the pastor was abolishing an established successful ministry. The couple conveyed to me that one of the most bewildering aspects of this event was that the Hispanic/Latino catechetical leaders were not even consulted about a decision that impacted their own children in a very direct way. They told me that this change has demoralized the Hispanic/Latino community, has resulted in fewer Hispanic/Latino children and their families participating in the catechetical program, and has caused the loss of Hispanic/Latino catechists who were no longer needed in the parish.
What are the assumptions underlying an “English only” approach to catechesis in parishes with Spanish language Sunday liturgies? Here is a sample:
- Hispanic/Latino children understand English better.
- They will live their faith as adults in an English-speaking church.
- Having one program produces unity among all the children and young people in the parish.
- It is less work and a simpler approach to have only one program.
All these reasons appear to make some sense and to be well intentioned. However, they are based on assumptions that may need to be tested. First, it is quite a generalization to say that all Hispanic/Latino children of new immigrant families better understand English than Spanish, particularly those preparing to receive First Communion. These children usually spend the first five years of life absorbing the religious language, symbols, and practices of their Catholic faith in the context of their home, where only Spanish is spoken. So much can be lost in translation as these children are cut off from the rich tradition and family practices transmitted to them by their parents and extended family. These children also may not understand as much of the teaching in English as the catechists may think, or hope. In addition, research conducted by the Hispanic Pew Research Center consistently shows that the ability to speak Spanish is a leading indicator for second and third generation Hispanics/Latinos to keep their Catholic identity. While 69% of foreign-born Hispanics are considered Catholic, this number decreases to 59% for 2nd generation Hispanics and to 40% for 3rd generation Hispanics.[iii] In other words, these young people are more likely to remain Catholic if they are bilingual and bicultural. My son, Jonathan, is a good example of this fact. At twenty-two years of age, and with an engineering degree, Jonathan wears a medal with the image of San Juan Diego around his neck. As for my daughters, Renata and Daniela, they are also bilingual and bicultural, and can draw from the wells of their two cultural backgrounds to drink from the unique ways in which the Holy Spirit is present in Mexican and U.S. American cultures. Third, while catechetical programs conducted in English and led by inter-culturally competent catechists can generate a sense of unity among culturally diverse children and young people, there is nothing they can do with the children who do not to participate in the program. Moreover, there is a difference between unity and uniformity. A parish that offers only English language catechesis tends to gather people who are already more or less alike, while discouraging the participation of those with a strong preference to speak Spanish.
Reflecting Our Complexity
I belong to St. Camillus Parish, in Silver Spring, MD. We have catechetical programs in English, Spanish, and French; nonetheless, there is a real sense of unity among the catechists and the children in the different programs. We celebrate First Communion and Confirmation in a tri-lingual liturgy that feels like the Feast of Pentecost. It is such a wonderful experience of unity in diversity where the Holy Spirit is the true source of unity, generating communion across cultures, generations and races. As Pope Francis reminds us, “Every culture offers values and positive ways to enrich the way we proclaim, understand and live the Gospel.”[iv] Further, the ministry of catechesis, particularly in the context of the New Evangelization, needs to reflect the complexity of the cultural reality it inhabits, and to communicate how the transforming power of the Holy Spirit generates unity among peoples from diverse cultures. Cultural diversity will continue to grow in decades to come in the United States, thus changing the landscape in our parishes and communities. Such diversity is a great gift to the Church, but it also requires creativity and a sense of mission in order to foster unity in diversity through a strong Catholic identity. Looking to the future, how can the Catholic Church in the United States increase its effectiveness in transmitting, through words and deeds, the faith to the ever-growing population of Hispanic/Latino youth? Some good answers to this question can be found in a resource recently developed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The resource, titled Building Intercultural Competence for Ministers (BICM), identifies five principles that have proven to be helpful in strengthening the Catholic identity of Hispanics/Latinos. Here is a brief overview of these five principles and how they may apply to catechesis among Hispanic/Latino young people and other ethnic groups:
a) Articulate a vision of ministry based on Ecclesial Integration/Inclusion. This principle calls for the promotion of culturally specific ministries, groups, and ecclesial movements in order to foster conversion and to build community. It also warns against the temptation to expect everyone to assimilate into a one-size-fits-all group or catechetical program.
b) Foster the inculturation of the Gospel in all cultures.
This point calls us to commit to the New Evangelization’s spirit of mission and its ongoing transformation of all cultures. Here the bishops stress that the Church exists to evangelize, not to Americanize.
c) Plan with people, not for people.
With this point, the bishops urge us to include parishioners in the planning processes and the decision-making processes for catechetical programs and projects that impact them. The document cautions us to avoid the temptation of thinking that we know the needs of others better than they do.
d) Cast a bigger net.
The fourth point promotes the formation of different catechetical programs, groups, and initiatives in order to reach a greater number of people from all cultural communities in our parishes. It also refutes the idea that allowing the formation of culturally specific ministries creates division.
e) Empower indigenous leadership.
In the final point, the bishops charge us to identify and mentor catechetical leaders and ministers who come from each cultural group in order that they can minister both to their own cultural community and to the entire parish. This point warns against using us-them language and counsels against the tendency to see one’s own culture as better or more valuable than the culture of others.
These principles can usefully guide pastors and their teams as they discern the best ways to reach, engage, teach, and mentor millions of Hispanic/Latino young people and their families into discipleship within the Catholic Church and in society, for decades to come. Alejandro Aguilera-Titus has thirty years of experience in ministry with emphasis on leadership development, faith formation and youth ministry. He is a nationally known speaker and writer highly regarded for his practical application of theological thought to ministry in culturally diverse settings. Alejandro holds a M.A. in Theology from the University of Portland and is a Doctor in Ministry Candidate at Barry University. He currently works at the Secretariat of Cultural Diversity in the Church, USCCB. In addition, Alejandro is an adjunct faculty member at Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

The Norwegian Campaign (April – June 1940) is not the best known by the general public, because of its peripheral character with respect to the main battlegrounds, as well as its coincidence in time as of May 10 with the great German offensive in the west. However, it is one of the most interesting campaigns studied at the military level, being the German attack the first large-scale combined operation of history.
The decision to invade Norway.
The Nordic countries had avoided being directly involved in IGM and in 1939 their governments, Social Democrats and pacifists, tried to achieve the same declaring themselves quickly neutral. But only Sweden would do it. It was after the completion of the Polish campaign and with the stagnation that followed (La drôle de guerre) when the major states and war councils of both contenders began to pay attention to the Scandinavian peninsula.
Several geo-strategic issues made it interesting to control the region: 1) The Norwegian coast was the only route through which Germany could contact the rest of the world by sea; 2) The important dependence of Swedish iron on German industry, which could only be exported in winter through the small Norwegian port of Narvik.
It would be Admiral Raeder, Commander-in-chief of the Kriegsmarine, the chief responsible for Hitler's intervention in Norway, pointing to the need to keep Norwegian waters open to the navigation of neutral merchants Towards Germany, as of the German Corsair ships towards the Atlantic, as well as the utility for the Kriegsmarine of owning the ports of Narvik and Trondheim. It would also be thanks to Raeder that Hitler was going to meet Vikdun Quisling, leader of a small Norwegian nationalist party who offered to lead a pro-German government in Norway. Even without being fully decided, Hitler will commission the OKW a plan to achieve political control of Norway and access to its ports (Krancke plan) that will anticipate the occupation of the main Norwegian ports through a joint naval operation.
However what is really going to decide Hitler to carry out the operation is going to be the so-called "Altmark Incident" occurred in February 1940, when this German transport vessel returning home with 300 prisoners, was assaulted by a British destroyer Violating Norwegian territorial waters. In command of it (name in code Weserübung) will be the general von Falkenhorst, fixing finally on April 9, after several delays, like date to carry it out.
The Allies will also decide to intervene in Norway after long months of discussions. It is going to be Wiston Churchill-first Lord of the Admiralty-the most vehement supporter of the Norwegian coast mine, seeking above all to prevent the transport of iron since Narvik. With the Soviet invasion of Finland, an intervention was raised in support of the Finns, within the framework of which Narvik and the Swedish mines, as well as the main cities in central Norway, were occupied. The Finnish surrender did not end with the intervention plans, finally deciding to carry out the Norwegian water mine being prepared several brigades to disembark in Narvik, Bergen and Trondheim in the event of a German reaction . Allied plans would be thwarted at the last moment by the German audacity.
The German invasion
When planning the Operation Weserübung, Falkenhorst and the OKW were very clear that by the peculiar geographical configuration of Norway, with very complicated terrestrial communications, the occupation of the main objectives (Narvik, Trondheim, Bergen and Oslo) should be carried out simultaneously by troops carried by the sea.
By the manifest superiority of the Home fleet on the surface fleet of the Kriegsmarine, surprise and speed were fundamental. For this reason, the invading forces should be transported in warships, faster than those of transport, but this implies that the number of the members of the invading force would be reduced to less than 9,000 men, leaving the transport of the bulk of the troops , as well as the ammunition to days after. This attacking force was to be divided into six groups, each one with a specific objective (Narvik, Trondheim, Bergen, Kristiansand-Arendal, Oslo and Egersund). The Lüftwaffe would provide support and air transport, as well as several parachute companies to take over the most important aerodromes.
The German High command considered that the landings could be carried out without opposition, since they were confident that the Norwegian government would aviniese to the ultimatum that was going to be presented to them hours before they produced them. But the possibility of Optasen by the resistance, nor did it generate any concern to find the Norwegian armed forces very weakened and outdated for decades of neglect, budgetary rickets and pacifism.
It will decide the desirability of occupying also Denmark, mainly to ensure the control of the aerodromes of Aalborg. The plan that was going to be carried out without problems will consist in making a rapid advance through the peninsula of Jutland by motorized elements until securing Aalborg and its aerodromes (which would have been occupied by parachutist forces), while other forces They landed at different points in the main Danish islands and threatened Copenhagen.
The first boats participating in Wesserübung departed on April 3. The risk of German vessels being detected was very high. In fact they were several times but the Allied intelligence services failed to interpret the movements and allowed them to reach the Norwegian ports as they searched for the North Sea.
The six naval groups were able to reach their destination at the scheduled time. Narvik and Trondheim the furthest operations, were carried out without lamenting German casualties. However, in other objectives, German ships suffered a variety of damage from the fire of the coastal batteries. Thus the cruiser Könisberg was damaged in Bergen and the Blücher sunk in the Oslo fjord by the batteries of the strong Oskarborg. The capital would eventually be occupied by the forces carried by air to the airfield of Fornebau occupied after a hard combat. Paratroopers occupied the airfield of Sola and the city of Stavanger, while the presence of German bombardments helped to stifle the attempts of resistance.
At the end of the day the Germans had managed to occupy all the military objectives envisaged. However the delay in the occupation of Oslo had allowed the government and the Norwegian monarch to retire to the interior of the country calling the Norwegians to the resistance, with what the Germans had to launch to occupy the whole country , leaving the door open to an allied intervention.
The Allied response
On the morning of 9 April, the British high Command after assuming that Germany had advanced in the occupation of the Norwegian ports had to quickly improvise an answer. It was soon assumed that Oslo should be left in German hands, but it was decided that Bergen and Trondheim could be easily recovered by entrusting the home Fleet with the task of preventing the German forces from receiving maritime reinforcements, as well as avoiding the Back home from warships. However, the force highlighted by Admiral Forbs to attack the German naval forces existing in Bergen had to retire to the attack of the German bombers. The lack of aircraft carriers opted to withdraw its surface strength from the southern coast of Norway, acting only with submarines. This allowed the arrival of German reinforcements that will be able to unite the different heads of bridge, forcing the rapid occupation of the southern zone of Norway, avoiding the complete mobilization of the Norwegian army. Only the general-in-chief roars with a division and was able to oppose prolonged resistance while retiring through the Alpine valleys that communicated the Oslo area to Trondheim where he hoped to be supported by the British.
Greater success had the British naval forces prominent in the far north. There on the 9th, the flotilla of destroyers commanded by Captain Warburton-Lee sent to patrol by the Ofotfjord to learn of the conquest of Narvik by the Germans, is going to attack by surprise the German destroyers. In this combat (in which both Warburton-Lee and Commodore Bonte, head of the German naval forces, were killed) both forces are going to suffer important casualties, especially the Germans. The weakened German fleet is going to be completely destroyed on the 13th although the majority of the endowments managed to disembark, adding as infantry troops with the scarce forces with which Dietl counted in Narvik.
The Germans considered immediate the attack but this one did not occur since the British general Mackesy, considered too risky a direct attack opting for an indirect approximation after landing enough miles to the north, in spite of the opinion in Against Lord Cork in command of the naval forces, who defended a direct assault on the city was to be carried out.
Operations in CENTRAL Norway
Considering the fall of Narvik, for its isolation, a matter of time, they will focus their attention on the recovery of Trondheim, before the Germans could be strengthened. This operation (codename Hammer) was delayed by the shortage of forces available in Britain and the prevention to carry out an amphibious landing being in German hands the forts that guarnecían the great fjord of Trondheim. Finally, the idea of a direct assault was abandoned because it was too risky, opting instead to carry out a pincer movement from the ports of Namsos and Aandalsnes, located more than a hundred kilometers north and south of the city , where they had landed territorial brigades, but without transport or equipment appropriate for the Winter War.
The forces landed in Namsos under Carton de Wiart began to move rapidly southward. However, a few days were stopped by a couple of battalions of mountain hunters who blocked the road and especially by German aviation, which destroyed the untrimmed port of Namsos. On the other hand, the South arm did not come to be directed against Trondheim, since the territorial brigade had to move directly through the railroad of Dombaas before the Norwegian ultimatum to be relied on the exhausted forces of Roar. The new British forces only managed to delay the German advance but as it became clear that the offensive against Trondheim was not going to succeed, it will order the withdrawal, which could be made between 29 April and 2 May without suffering significant losses in the Transshipment. The main reasons for this failure were the Franco-British slowness, the bad coordination and the improvisation, the tactical superiority of the German forces and the Germanic air supremacy that made the British control of the sea useless.
After the failure in Trondheim the Allies will concentrate their efforts with the occupation of Narvik, outside the radius of action of the German aviation, which guaranteed the freedom of action of the Royal Navy. There, Dietl took advantage of the days of tranquility that he enjoyed after the naval battles to reorganize his scarce forces, establishing defensive positions in the existing mountainous areas to the north and south of Narvik.
The British without the equipment nor the proper training, they were not going to make any offensive movement (apart from a strong naval bombardment of the city on April 24), until the arrival of a demibrigade of Chasseurs French alpines, that with the support of a Division, both much better prepared for the Winter War than the British, began to strongly pressure the Germans, who are going to retire very slowly to the south along the valley of the Lagerbal from one defensive possession to another, in Very harsh climatic conditions.
There would be No significant progress until the arrival of new reinforcements: a Polish brigade and the 13th Demibrigade of the Foreign Legion (with a significant presence of former Spanish Republican soldiers) that would carry out an amphibious landing Against the locality of Bjerkvik on May 13, success which was quickly exploited by the conquest of Oyjord just opposite Narvik. This action demolished the entire German defensive scheme and must undertake a general retreat to the southeast.
The Allied victory in Narvik was very close, however, in the face of the blackness that were taking the events in France and Belgium, it was decided to abandon the idea of establishing a resistance stronghold in northern Norway, deciding on 24 May to withdraw its Forces. Despite this, it was going to be decided to carry out the assault on the port city for both the propaganda and moral effects, and to destroy the port and the fuel tanks of Narvik, as well as the vital railway line with Sweden and its mines.
The attack against the city would take place on the 27th through an amphibious operation headed by the French legionaries crossing the fjord while the Poles attacked from the south to occupy Ankers and move to the head of the fjord and avoid the withdrawal German. Although the amphibious assault, preceded by a strong naval bombardment, was carried out without excessive problems by the great numerical superiority, the last part of the plan did not come to function since the poles could not comply with the plan planned allowing to escape to the Majority of the defenders of Narvik.
After a month and a half of hard fighting, the Allies were able to set foot in the smoky ruins of the small town, where they found a port completely unused for their retreat. The operations for the same would begin without a solution of continuity, while a part of the Allied forces continued to press hard to the very weakened German forces that already only kept a very small portion of land adjacent to the border Swedish. The rest began to retreat to Harstad and other small towns that would be used for reembarkation.
The evacuation of a force of about 25,000 men, had to be carried out with very few transport and, above all, ships of escorts, since at the same time the one of the forces fenced in Dunkerque was being produced.
However, this end could be very different, as Hitler seeking to support Dietl and troops from Trondheim were advancing to assist him, sent to the region Scharnhorst and Gneisenau cruises, which could have destroyed the second of the two convoys Principals in retreat, however they met the carrier Glorious, to which they sank, but had to be withdrawn by the damage caused by the destroyers of escort to the Scharnhorst.
The material losses suffered by the contenders in the two months of the Norwegian campaign were relatively unimportant, the German naval losses being much more significant between sunken and damaged ships, which would cause the Kriegsmarine It was unable to support with surface forces the attempt at invasion of England, which the spectacular and unexpected victory of France opened wide to Hitler. In connection with the Battle of England, another fundamental consequence of the Norwegian campaign, was the replacement of Chamberlain by Churchill in the post of British Prime minister, losing the first, during the first days of May, the confidence of a party Important of the House of Commons following, mainly, the setbacks suffered by the British in Norway.

Millions of people are affected by disabilities every day. When people think of a disability, they often think of people in wheelchairs or who are blind. However, many disabilities cannot be seen.
This article will cover complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and how it is affected by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
What is CPTSD?
Complex post-traumatic stress disorder forms when people experience ongoing and inescapable relational trauma, such as child abuse or neglect. The pain suffered by abuse or neglect leaves scars because it was repeated and usually, but not always, perpetrated by a family member or friend.
The National Council estimates for Behavioral Health that 70% of adults in the United States have experienced at least one traumatic incident in their lifetime. Also, 33% of children have been exposed to community violence. This exposure to violence and trauma causes the child to grow into an adult with CPTSD.
Adults with CPTSD often experience symptoms different from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), such as amnesia, chronic mistrust, chronic physical pain, dissociation, debilitating flashbacks, body memories, anxiety, and severe problems regulating volatile emotions. These adult survivors also develop concurrent diagnoses such as depression, toxic shame, auto-immune disease, and other life-altering symptoms.
Another severe impact of CPTSD is isolation, as people who suffer from it isolate themselves to cope with their overwhelming sense of unsafety. The isolation is meant to keep the survivors safe, but it interferes with their ability to form relationships, leading to despair and suicidal thoughts and actions.
CPTSD: An Invisible Disability
The word disability has many meanings depending on who you are and if you have one. It is vital to note that because a person lives with a disability does not necessarily mean they are on ‘disability.’ Many people can work despite their limiting conditions and do so successfully in either part-time or full-time capacities.
A disability does not mean that the person is less than anyone else or weaker. Some disabilities are easy to see, such as a blind person and their service animal or someone who uses sign language to communicate. However, some disabilities are not visible to the general public. Complex post-traumatic stress disorder is one of them.
The definition of a disability as given by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 states a person with a disability:
“Has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; has a record of such an impairment or is regarded as having such an impairment.”
They also say that:
“A person is considered to have a disability if he or she has difficulty performing certain functions (seeing, hearing, talking, walking, climbing stairs and lifting and carrying), or has difficulty performing activities of daily living, or has difficulty with certain social roles (doing schoolwork for children, working at a job and around the house).”
These statements describe 20% of Americans, meaning many live with mental health conditions such as complex post-traumatic stress disorder and have disabilities unseen by the public.
Invisible disabilities are also covered under the ADA.
What Does the ADA Say?
Luckily, the ADA is a broad provision that protects people with disabilities, be it physical or mental, from discrimination. Besides the different visible disabilities, people who have problems with:
• Caring for yourself
• Problems interacting with others
The person’s condition does not need to be severe to qualify for protection under the Americans with Disabilities Act. However, the impairment must significantly impact a person’s ability to do activities compared to others in society.
Although this piece has spoken about the ADA covering mental health conditions, this did not come about until the ADA was amended in 2008. The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act became law in 2009 for people with mental health conditions added. The ADA has five titles, including I, II, III, IV, and V. All the following information is found at this link.
Title I Employment. Designed to aid people with disabilities, Title I was created to assist people with physical or mental problems to access and have the same opportunities as those without disabilities. This means employers must provide reasonable accommodations to applicants or employees living with a disability as they do others. Reasonable accommodations mean employers must modify or adjust the work environment to enable people with disabilities to participate in the application or job process. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforces this title, which states that employers with fifteen or more employees must comply.
In the case of a disability such as complex post-traumatic stress disorder, this title may mean creating a quiet office space.
Title II (State and Local Government). This Title of the ADA prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals because they have a disability.
The title implies all state and local government departments and agencies and any other arrangement or special purpose in state or local government districts. This includes systems that receive funding from federal agencies and cover all entities that provide public transportation.
If you have CPTSD, this provision might mean you can have a service animal with you and ride on public transportation. However, there are restrictions on the type of animal and other rules. It is vital to check with the ADA to see what these rules are.
Title III. (Public Accommodations). This Title prohibits private places of public accommodation from discriminating against someone with a disability. These places include restaurants, hotels, doctor’s offices, stadiums, etc. The Title sets the minimum standards for accessibility for alterations and new construction to make the building accessible.
In the case of CPTSD, this may mean constructing temporary walls around a workspace to aid in providing a calming and quiet place to work. However, the demands for accommodations must be reasonable.
Title IV (Telecommunications). This Title requires telephone and internet companies to provide nationwide systems that allow people with hearing and speech disabilities to communicate over the telephone.
This may or may not directly affect those living with complex trauma unless you are also visually or auditorily disabled.
Title V (Miscellaneous Provisions). The last Title has a variety of provisions related to the ADA, including a prohibition against retaliation or coercion, illegal use of drugs, and attorney’s fees. It also provides a list of conditions that are not considered disabilities.
The Americans with Disability act covers people with difficulties linked to their emotional problems, including complex post-traumatic stress disorder.
The ADA celebrated its 31st anniversary on July 26, 2022.
Ending Our Time Together
Discrimination is a terrible thing. It separates people by their differences and makes life even harder for those who have a disability.
Although many believe that the ADA is only for those with visible disabilities, they are wrong. The ADA also covers those with disabilities that are not easily noticed or seen by the public. People with a heart condition or a mental health problem such as complex post-traumatic disorder are also covered.
If you work in an environment that is not suitable to help you with handling your mental health, then speak to your employer and ask for what you need. If it is a reasonable request, they are required by law to accommodate you.
No matter your condition, you are guaranteed by law that you will receive no discrimination in one of the most critical places in your life, work.

Iran's Weapon Cache: 'Awake from Your Slumber'
EILAT, Israel -- A weapons cache seized last week from Iran is serving as another warning to the West of the Islamic country's dangerous intentions.
On Monday, Israel displayed the weapons cache Israeli naval commandos seized last week in the Red Sea.
Israeli and U.S. intelligence tracked the weapons from Iran on their way from Iran to the Gaza Strip. The weapons included 40 long-range missiles, nearly 200 mortars, and 400,000 rounds of ammunition. The missiles were hidden inside shipping containers and surrounded with cement made in Iran.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the opportunity to again warn the West, saying "those engaged in self-deception must awaken from their slumber."
The missiles represented a major threat to Israel's home front. It would have put 5 million Israelis -- more than 60 percent of the population -- within range.
But Israel is not it's only target.
"The Gaza terrorists don't have anything on this magnitude -- not of the weaponry, capability, not of the distance it can go," IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner told CBN News at Israel's navy base in Eilat. "This would have made a huge difference if these rockets made into the terrorists hands. We did a good thing."
"When you go to 200 kilometers, it's almost not important anymore. It reaches all the important targets in Israel," IDF Lt.-Col. (ret.) Reuven Ben-Shalom with Cross-Cultural Strategies Ltd. told us.
The M-302 missiles have a range of more than 120 miles (200 kilometers).
Netanyahu inspected the weapons and said the shipment reveals the true face of Iran and criticized Western diplomats who reach out to Iran's leaders but ignore Iran's actions.
"The weapons on this ship were destined for terrorists in Gaza who are committed to Israel's destruction," Netanyahu said. "The goal was to have these weapons rain down on the heads of Israel's citizens. The ship was organized by Iran, dispatched by Iran, financed by Iran. The missiles were loaded by Iran in Iran.
Netanyahu criticized diplomats who reach out to Iran's leaders but ignore Iran's actions.
"This determination to ignore the truth that was exposed once again with the capture of the ship is first of all hypocritical," Netanyahu said. "I said a moment ago that at most I heard a few faint condemnations of Iran from the international community after we intercepted this murderous shipment. We even saw representatives of the world powers shaking hands and smiling with the heads of Iran's regime, at the same time we were unloading these missiles here in Eilat!"
The prime minister also warned the West they're a future target of Iran.
"Does anyone truly believe that Iran has given up its plans to develop nuclear weapons or long-range ballistic missiles that are capable of carrying nuclear warheads to Europe and the United States?" he asked.
He warned one day Iran could hide a nuclear device in a container and ship it to any port in the world and the West ignores Iran's nuclear program at its own peril.
"So my message today is simple: those engaged in self-deception must awaken from their slumber. We cannot allow Iran to have the capability to produce nuclear weapons. Today, Israel thwarted the dangers to its people. Tomorrow if Iran's military nuclear program is not stopped the whole world could be imperiled."

In need of a laugh as 2020 draws to a close? We’ve got just the ticket. Legendary British actor, writer and comedian John Cleese is hosting an evening at Dubai Opera in December, bringing his signature smarts and withering wisecracks to the big stage.

Expect a hilarious evening filled with the acerbic wit and observations that have made John Cleese a household name, from his beginnings in the Monty Python troupe in the 1960s, to his Oscar nomination for best screenplay for A Fish Called Wanda.
Tickets to John Cleese’s show at Dubai Opera start at Dhs195 for silver seating up to Dhs550 for a VIP ticket. There are also a range of exclusive boxes available, accommodating four to 10 people.
The bar at Dubai Opera will open at 6pm, and doors to the theatre will close at 7.30pm, ahead of Cleese taking to the stage at 8pm.

Film Score: Franz Waxman Cinematography: Sam Leavitt
Starring: John Cassavetes, James Whitmore, Sal Mineo and Virginia Gregg
Crime in the Streets is a nineteen-fifties juvenile delinquent film, attempting to cash in on the success of movies like The Wild One and The Blackboard Jungle, a genre that would reach its apotheosis with West Side Story in 1961. It’s more interesting for the presence of Don Siegel as director, the film debut of John Cassavetes, and the jazz score by Franz Waxman than the story itself. Screenwriter Reginald Rose was one of the earliest television writers, and his concern for social issues is evident not only by this film, which was an adaptation of his own script for The Elgin Hour the year before and directed by Sidney Lumet, but for his most famous screenplay the following year, 12 Angry Men, also directed by Lumet. He is often credited for helping to create a more realistic style of drama, though his stories are still incredibly hopeful and uplifting, something that is light years away from a film like The 400 Blows made just a few years later and dealing with similar themes.
The story begins with a rumble, with John Cassavetes and Mark Rydell the leaders of one of the gangs. During the fight they capture a member of the rival gang and beat him up, though by today’s standards it’s almost comical how unthreatening it all seems. Eventually one of the gang members pulls out a gun and a man walking by the alley, Malcolm Atterbury, sees it. He reports it to the police and the kid is arrested before the rest of the gang can warn him. This gets under the skin of John Cassavetes. He’s angry and he doesn’t care who knows it, and the one thing he wants to do is punish Atterbury in retribution. After the requisite scene with him berating his single mother, Virginia Gregg, and ignoring his little brother, Cassavetes confronts the old man and, after receiving a slap in the face, begins to formulate his revenge. But there’s nothing comical about his plan: he wants to kill the man. He enlists Rydell, the crazed kid who loves violence, and Sal Mineo, the frightened kid who Cassavetes protects, to help him and waits for the right time.
James Whitmore plays the local social worker who runs a game room for the kids in the neighborhood. He tries to do what he can, but doesn’t fool himself about his chances. As he tells the owner of the soda shop, Will Kuluva, most of the kids need a lot more than what he can possibly give and the chances of success are pretty slim. He advocates talking above anything else, where the obviously childless Malcolm Atterbury in a similar conversation with Kuluva, says that violence is the only thing that has any effect on them. Seeing the desperate parents attempt both is incredibly moving. Of course the plot revolves around John Cassavetes who was no doubt chosen for the role because he had played the part in the television drama. If he doesn’t exactly look eighteen it’s probably because he was twenty-seven at the time, but he does as good a job as one could expect. Underneath the brooding and anger, the role is fairly one-dimensional, as is the entire story itself. The direction by Don Siegel is probably as good as one could hope for as well, with the stage-bound studio sets adding even more artificiality to the production.
One of the more interesting aspects of the film is the score by Franz Waxman. It’s what Donald Fagan of Steely Dan calls “fake jazz” in that it is entirely composed. Though Elmer Bernstein’s score for Sweet Smell of Success is usually credited as the first jazz score this was obviously much earlier, but because of the lackluster reception of the film it is generally forgotten. What’s more interesting is the association of rock ‘n’ roll with the delinquents, an idea that would reach its peak with Henry Mancini’s score for Touch of Evil. What’s probably most telling about the film is the way the idea of the fifties juvenile delinquents, with their gang jackets and duck tails, would become little more than a nostalgic memory that reached its nadir with Happy Days in the 1970s. The underlying problem, however, if one is willing to look for it, hasn’t changed all that much and the poverty and despair that led kids into a life of crime sixty years ago is still pulling them in the same direction today. Crime in the Streets admittedly seems tame when seen today, but there’s certainly something more for the viewer willing to meet the film on its own terms.

I grew up on the west side of Phoenix, Maryvale area. It was a rough area, especially because me and my family lived in the projects and my mother was involved with dangerous people. I grew up with a single mother, who was a drug addict. My brother and I had a very crazy and unsteady childhood. Many years of struggling pushed my mother to get help for herself. We were very blessed with so many amazing people willing to help us while my mom was working through recovery. After years of determination, my mother was able to get it together, she moved me and my brother to a safer and all around better neighborhood.
My brother and I had seen so much negativity growing up that we knew we HAD to do and be better human beings. We really didn’t have the luxury of our parents setting a good example so we both fought for better lives. My brother and I became educated people and we worked very hard to be where we are today. Never loosing sight of where we come from, and remaining humble. With our successes we still make time to help the needy and be do it with a smile on our faces and love in our heart. We both are in careers where we are helping the community. My mother makes sure to give back as well. She has a HUGE heart and I know she is incredibly grateful for all the good people out there that helped her in a time of need.
People are very interesting… they can be so horrible at times but the fact that there is some really great people out there makes me hold a higher standard for myself and keeps me in a constant mind set to be a better human.

I have a real treat for you …Breakfast! These Bread Pudding Muffins are so good you’ll have to either hide them in the pantry or put them in the freezer so you don’t eat them all in one day.
These Bread Pudding Muffins have everything you love about bread pudding. Fruit, spices and a creamy inside. We recently went on vacation to Disneyland. The hotel we stayed at didn’t serve breakfast. Can you imagine? I thought all hotels served at least a crappy continental breakfast. 🙂 Anyway I took these and they were perfect! We at least had a microwave so I heated them. I also ate them cold. They were so good I didn’t care and filling too!
YOU CAN SERVE THEM WITHOUT SYRUP!
I used Challah bread. I have a confession…when I first saw challah bread I pronounced it ch-allah bread. It was later on the Food Network that I heard a chef pronounce it correctly and I was horrified to learn that the c is silent. Mind you I ordered my bread from a bakery pronouncing it wrong and they let me continue doing it. 😳 WHATEVER!
If you can’t find Challah bread you can also use these breads; french, broiche, croissant, italian or panettone. The crusts can be left on or removed. I leave it on.
- 1 pound (French or Challah) loaf of bread, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 Cup milk
- 1 Cup half & half or light cream
- 4 Large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2/3 Cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/3 Cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 Cup dried cranberries
- 1 Small Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and diced or thinly sliced
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Place rack in the middle of the oven.
- Butter well or spray, with a non stick spray. I would recommend using liners.
- Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl and add the cream and milk.
- Let stand for five minutes.
- Then stir in the beaten eggs, sugar, vanilla, and melted and cooled butter.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and ground cinnamon.
- Stir this mixture into the bread cube mixture and then fold in the cranberries and apple chunks/slices.
- Evenly divide the mixture among the 13 muffin cups (about ½ cup each). Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Place on a wire rack to cool. You can dust with confections sugar and drizzle maple syrup on top before serving.
Mini muffins: Makes 3 dozen, bake 15 minutes. Make sure to make the bread cubes and apple cubes smaller.

Two arrested in robbery at motel
Original post made
on May 3, 2012
A 24-year-old man and his 16-year old female accomplice face felony charges in the beating and robbery of an acquaintance at his Pleasanton motel room that led to a high-speed chase on Interstate 580. The incident began a little before 3 p.m. May 1 at Tri-Valley Inn and Suites in the 2000 block of Santa Rita Road, when the 19-year-old victim let the pair into his room.

An Edinburgh based AI firm has raised $10 million as it seeks to accelerate the global energy transition.
Continuum Industries has developed Optioneer, an AI-powered network and linear infrastructure development platform.
The platform helps energy companies to better assess routing options for power lines, cables and pipelines for hydrogen, water, and CO2.
Continuum said Optioneer can generate a shortlist of viable routing options from millions of alternatives in just a matter of hours.
Co-founder and CEO of Continuum Grzegorz Marecki said Optioneer represented an “exciting and important opportunity to accelerate the march of the infrastructure industry into the digital age”.
“If we are going to deliver the energy transition required in time to meet global climate goals, we need to completely rethink worldwide energy infrastructure,” Mr Marecki said.
“Transforming what we have, but also building considerably more, and doing so at an unprecedented pace.
“The best way to do that is to work smarter, not harder”.
Continuum said using AI condenses processes which previously took 12 months into just eight weeks.
Scotland born, location agnostic
Mr Marecki said early projects in Scotland helped develop the wider use case for Optioneer.
“Scotland has both onshore and offshore projects that are governed by strict consenting regimes, and the country’s mix of low-lying and mountainous terrain, as well as high density of existing infrastructure and mixed population density, creates specific challenges for project planning,” he said.
“But while the company was born out of the renewables boom in Scotland, and has worked successfully with energy and utility infrastructure firms operating in the region, we are location-agnostic and the Optioneer platform can be used just as successfully anywhere else in the world.”
The AI firm has now raised a total of $15.5 million in funding as it aims to double headcount and expand into new markets in the coming year.
AI supporting net zero transition
Continuum said while demand for energy and utility infrastructure is growing, the planning process is complex and the current pace of development too slow to meet net zero targets.
The UK Electricity Networks Commissioner recently recommended adopting automated corridor routing process as standard practice as part of efforts to accelerate the transformation of the UK’s energy system
Continuum said the latest round of funding, led by Singular, will allow the company to double the size of its team and continue growth in Europe and the US.
Partner at Singular Henry Tilloy said infrastructure was a vital component of the energy transition.
“Without robust, future-fit infrastructure to transport the growing amount of energy and utilities we need, especially as renewables come online in larger and larger volumes, all the innovation that goes into new generation and storage solutions will be wasted,” Mr Tilloy said.
Founded in 2018, Continuum operates in the UK, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and the United States.
The company already counts National Grid, SSEN Transmission, National Gas Transmission, Fred. Olsen Seawind, and Iberdola Group as clients.

The Red Raiders (4-0) hit the road again after three straight home games to face the Kansas Jayhawks (2-1) in Lawrence, Kan. Saturday’s game is the conference opener for Kansas and Tech’s first Big 12 away game of the season.
The Jayhawks, coming off a last-second home win over Louisiana Tech, ride all kinds of moment into this contest. Especially for a program like Kanas, wins like that are huge for morale and chemistry. Kansas still lacks the kind of weapons needed for a competitive Big 12 team, but don’t underestimate how much they’ve improved on all sides of the ball. After bringing in the best class of junior college recruits in the country this year, head coach Charlie Weis almost certainly wants to compete immediately in conference. Whether or not that will happen could be decided this weekend.
|Jake Heaps||3||105.07||51-94-4||54.26 %||546||3||77||182.00|
A lot was expected out of BYU transfer Jake Heaps, who has thus far failed to produce. Part of the problem may be with the wide receivers, none of whom have more than 10 catches. The leading receiver for the Jayhawks is running back Tony Pierson, whom you may remember from last year’s game in Lubbock when he ran for 202 yards on just 16 carries. While the very talented James Sims leads the team in rushing with 294 yards, Pierson is, by far, Kansas’ most dangerous weapon with the ball in his hands. He’s hard to tackle, he’s fast and he can lineup anywhere.
The Kansas defense and kick coverage unit are definitely the most improved groups on this football team. They haven’t played great competition, except maybe Rice, but right now the Jayhawks only give up 366 yards and 15 points per game. Even against Rice they only gave up one offensive touchdown. The most yardage given up came against Louisiana Tech with 406, though Kansas held the Bulldogs to just 10 points thanks to a few lucky breaks. As for kick returners, the Jayhawks coverage units allow less than 20 yards per kickoff return and a mere three yards per punt return, so don’t expect much from Jakeem Grant or SaDale Foster in the return game.
Kansas is still Kansas; they are by no means a good team. They are, however, an improved team coming off an emotional win at home. Whether or not that helps or hurts them in this game is largely dependent on coaching. But if the game this year goes into overtime again, the Jayhawks likely have a lot more confidence in their closing ability.

Good evening, folks. Rounds of light snow continue to push across the bluegrass state, putting down light accumulations. Many areas are now under a Winter Weather Advisory through early Wednesday as travel conditions go downhill overnight.
Farther down the road, it’s still all eyes on the weekend storm system and the impact it may have on Kentucky.
Let’s get you caught up on the Winter Weather Advisory…
Lots of coatings to 1″ of snow will show up, but some embedded bands of 1″-2″ will be possible. Again, not everyone sees more than a coating of snow from this, but delays and cancellations are likely later tonight and early Wednesday.
The weekend storm system continues to show up on very well on the models, but the track and evolution are still in flux. This is being hampered by the issues with the new version of the GFS. I haven’t had a full run of it since last night, so that’s making it a little tough because the model has actually been doing very well.
The current GFS continues to show a similar track and evolution to what the new GFS has been showing…
Here’s the overall snow map from that particular run…
The average from the GFS Ensembles isn’t too different…
The individual members are still showing a decent spread…
The operational European Model continues to absolutely hammer the southern half of Kentucky into areas of Tennessee and the Carolinas…
The average from the 51 member European Ensembles from WeatherBell is farther north and more expansive…
As you can see, we still have a lot of work to do to see how much of an impact this storm has on the weather across Kentucky. It’s still too early for me to say, with any certainty, how this plays out for the bluegrass state.
I will have a potential map for you later tonight and on WKYT-TV starting at 11. I leave you with your evening light snow tracking toys…
