By Colleen O'Connor | Denver Post | After spending three weeks in Denver, 20-month-old Deborah Kisakye is returning to her home in Uganda with the gift of new life.
"It's a miracle," her mother, Mariam Luyima, said through a translator.
The youngest of four children, Deborah was born prematurely with a hole in her heart.
A doctor in the capital, Kampala, said she could get heart surgery in India. But Luyima and her husband didn't have enough money for that.
Deborah's grandfather, a pastor in Uganda, finally connected with a medical mission group from Dallas that was performing craniofacial surgery in Uganda. Through that group, he was able to contact Denver cardiologist Steven Leonard.
Leonard, who works at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, told hospital administrators about Deborah, and surgery, anesthesia and hospital care were provided for free.
The child had heart surgery April 19.
The Ronald McDonald House provided housing, and DC Kiyemba translated for Luyima.
Born in Uganda, Kiyemba has lived in Colorado 30 years and works in audit services at Xcel Energy, which gives employees paid time off to volunteer in the community.
Kiyemba picked mother and child up from the airport, spent the entire day at the hospital during the surgery and worked to connect Luyima with members of the local African community, who made sure she received home-cooked meals and made it to church services.
The return trip, however, promises a happy ending.
Deborah and mom Mariam wait for her appointment with the heart doctors. After a grandfather in Uganda began to search for help for his granddaughter who was born with a hole in her heart, the heart doctors at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children and Presbyterian/St. Luke's stepped up to the challenge and have given 21-month-old Deborah Kisakye a second chance at life. Her home country of Uganda did not have the capability to help her, and the doctors say she could have only lived about two more years without surgery. Deborah had her surgery on April 19, and plans to head back to Uganda with her mother Mariam Luyima in the next few weeks.
Fantastic story! God works in mysterious ways.As for our own DC,that is Mwami Kiyemba through and through.Good wishes to Kisaakye and her Family.
I believe miracles really do happen.

The seven cyclo-cross races where Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel will meet this season
Cycling Weekly 11/25/2022 Tom Davidson

For over a decade, Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel have locked horns in cyclo-cross races across Europe. The duo first met in the under-19 ranks, and have battled in one of the sport's biggest rivalries ever since.
On Monday, the Alpecin-Deceuninck rider announced his winter program for the 2022-2023 season, which will see him compete in 14 cyclo-cross races - seven of which he'll share with Van Aert.
Their first encounter will come in Antwerp on 4 December, one week after Van der Poel makes his season debut at this Sunday's World Cup event in Hulst.
The pair will then join their respective road teams for their winter training camps, before returning to the mud for an intense festive period.
From 23 December, Van der Poel and Van Aert will compete against each other five times in the space of a week. Both riders share an identical program for this period, with race participations expected in Mol, Gavere, Heusden-Zolder, Diegem and Loenhout.
Although Jumbo-Visma are yet to release Van Aert's programme for 2023, it is almost certain that the Belgian champion will line up against the Dutchman at the World Championships in Hoogerheide, Netherlands on 5 February.
The duo, who share seven world titles between them, met just twice on last season's cyclo-cross circuit, after Van der Poel withdrew from racing with a back injury.
Both riders have taken the start line together in 169 races since the start of their careers. Comparing their head-to-head results, the Dutchman prevails with the stronger record, having bettered his long-term rival on 115 occasions (68%).
After beginning his cyclo-cross season this past weekend, world champion Tom Pidcock will also no doubt join Van Aert and Van der Poel in a series of races this season. Cycling Weekly understands that Pidcock's full programme will develop on a week-by-week basis over the coming months, with the British rider likely to take part in between 10 and 12 cyclo-cross races this winter.
Although the final tally could be higher, below are the seven races that Van Aert and Van der Poel will both contest this season.
4 December 2022 Antwerp (World Cup)
23 December 2022 Mol (Exact Cross)
26 December 2022 Gavere (World Cup)
27 December 2022 Heusden-Zolder (Superprestige)
28 December 2022 Diegem (Superprestige)
30 December 2022 Loenhout (Exact Cross)
5 February 2023 Hoogerheide (World Championships)

مترجمة : a case study of an Arabic/Jordanian sign language (liu) interpreter in Jordan
Erin Trine, Western Oregon UniversityFollow
Signed languages have received increased recognition in recent years. Profound misconceptions about signed languages and signed language interpreting continue to be pervasive. Organizations such as the World Association of Sign Language Interpreters and the World Federation of the Deaf are working to advance the training of interpreters around the globe. The same resources are not available in every region. In this study the author reports on the experiences of an Arabic/Jordanian Sign Language (LIU) interpreter through a single case study exploring her reported experiences. The participant is an adult woman and experienced interpreter. Data regarding the participant's experiences were gathered through a questionnaire, an interview, and notes taken during the interview. The data were classified into three categories: Interpersonal Relations, Interpreting Paradigms, and Professional Standards. Findings suggest multiple ways in which Arabic/LIU interpreting in Jordan is paralleling the course taken by American Sign Language (ASL)/English interpreting when developing as a profession in the United States. For example, very little education or training is currently available to LIU interpreters, though there is evidence of improvement underway, and most interpreters enter the field because of language fluency gained through a Deaf family member rather than through formal training. The author contends that additional research on the topic should be conducted to determine if the experiences reported here are common to interpreters throughout Jordan and recommendations are made for future research directions relating to Arabic/LIU interpreting and the Deaf community within Jordan.

In cooperation with the World Bank and the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs (MOMRA), the LCPS undertook a study on the condition of municipal government and ways to reform and reinforce it. The study examined the general administrative, legal, and fiscal framework within which municipal government operates, and reviewed the activities and programs put in place recently by MOMRA. The study involved a field examination of six municipalities - Tripoli, Jounieh, Nabatiyeh, Beit Mery, Broummana, and Roumieh. The analysis focused on their fiscal and internal structure (personnel, management) and the problems they face in tax collection, budgeting, and service provision. The study also suggests recommendations of ways in which these and other municipalities might be more effective, and provides a number of programs and projects to rehabilitate and revive their activity.

Why is getActionBar().hide(); not working?

A: I imagine you are using the Android Support Toolbar, setting it with setSupportActionBar, not the built in AppBar. Therefore only getSupportActionBar works, and not getActionBar, as there is no built in action bar in your app.

Edgar Allan Poe, American writer, poet, critic and editor, was best known for his evocative short stories and poems that capture the imagination. His storytelling and tales of mystery and horror gave rise to the modern detective story. Many of Poe's works, including The Tell-Tale Heart and The Fall of the House of Usher, have become literary classics, but perhaps best known of all is his poem The Raven. Some aspects of Poe's life, like his literature, are shrouded in mystery, and the lines between fact and fiction have been blurred substantially since his death.

House of Shadows, titled Controra in Italy, is a supernatural thriller film written and directed by Rossella de Venuto. The film, De Venuto's directorial debut, is an Italian-Irish co-production written in English, Italian, and German. The film premiered on 10 July 2013 at the 25th Galway Film Fleadh and showed at the International Bifest in Bari and was released in Italian theaters on 5 June 2014. It stars the Irish actress Fiona Glascott, who plays Megan, an Irish artist investigating a secret hidden in the family house of her Italian husband Leo.

Cast
 Fiona Glascott as Megan
 Pietro Ragusa as Leo
 Federico Castelluccio as Father Nicola
 Bianca Nappi as Pia
 Marcello Prayer as Michele
 Salvatore Lazzaro as Monsignor Domenico
 Ray Lovelock as Father von Galen
 Yvonne De Carlo as Mrs. Howard

Synopsis
Megan, a successful Irish artist, lives in Dublin with her husband Leo, an Italian architect who emigrated there several years ago. After receiving the news of the death of Leo's uncle, Monsignor Domenico, a powerful Catholic priest whose death has prompted a campaign for his beatification, the couple travels to Apulia, in southern Italy, to handle Leo's unexpected inheritance: the ancient family palace.

Leo intends to sell the house to his brother Nicola, the town priest, and return to Dublin. Megan is enchanted by the Mediterranean surroundings and the house's decadent beauty. Meanwhile, Leo reconnects with his old friends and rediscovers a world that he had almost forgotten. Left alone at home, during the hottest hours of the summer afternoon, called the controra, Megan is disturbed by mysterious presences. While trying to understand, she finds in the palace clues to an unsolved mystery linked to Leo's family. The shadows guide her to the true story of Monsignor Domenico's past. She shares what she discovers with Father von Galen, a priest sent by the Vatican to investigate Domenico as part of the beatification process. At the same time, Leo is haunted as well by the memories of a traumatic past he had blocked out of his mind.

Production
De Venuto came up with the idea for the movie as a little girl. Born in Trentino in north Italy, she used to spend her summer holidays in Apulia. She was fascinated by the old stories and legends told about the controra to prevent the children from going out during that time. She states:

"Controra" is a term used in southern Italy to indicate a precise moment of the day: it is the early afternoon, the hour when the shadows of the dead appear to contact the living. For this reason, right after lunch, local people close themselves at home to rest. It is very warm, crickets sing and streets are desert. After having experienced this and having heard the scary stories by locals, I wanted to learn more and I found that there was an extensive literature about these believes. These start already in the Greek mythology, and are maintained alive in the existing popular culture and have been well investigated by contemporary researchers such as Roger Caillois with his illuminating book Les Démon de Midi".

De Venuto was influenced by Italian horror movies from the 1970s and the 1980s such as Pupi Avati's The House with Laughing Windows, as well as Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby, Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock, Alejandro Amenabar's The Others, and Hideo Nakata's Ring. The movie combines a Gothic Mediterranean setting and local myths with themes like the strict code of silence of the typical Italian family of the 1940s and of the Catholic church, and subverts genre expectations by setting a horror story.

De Venuto worked on several drafts of the script over the years before teaming up with Italian author Francesco Piccolo to craft the final version. The Italian production company Interlinea Films produced the film with the Ireland's Ripple World Pictures and Italy's Barter TV. Filming in Dublin, Apulia, and South Tyrol (in Missiano, Brixen, Bolzano and Ritten) for six weeks and completed in July 2013. De Venuto partnered with Irish director of photography Ciaran Tanham for the shooting and most of the crew members were Irish as well. The movie was supported by the Irish Film Board, the Apulia Film Commission, the Business Location Südtirol Film Fund, the Regione Lazio Film Fund, Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, the National Film Fund, and the Italian tax credit provided by law 24/12/2007 n. 244.

Music
Irish composer Lance Hogan wrote the soundtrack. The main theme, "Annì's Lullaby", which we wrote with Dave Kenny, is sung by Irish vocalist Anna Jordan, daughter of the famous director Neil Jordan. It was inspired by "Ninna nanna di Carpino", a traditional song from Carpino, an Italian town close to Foggia.

Reception
Critical reception of House of Shadows has been generally positive. Matt Micucci from Film Ireland praised the movie writing: "...taking into consideration the fact that this is De Venuto's feature length debut, House of Shadows is quite impressive and it certainly offers fresh and intelligent ideas to a genre that often feels repetitious and lacking in creativity."

Italian press reviews were positive as well:

"…instinctively you feel like you want to applaude in mid-scene to "Controra" and to the young director De Venuto, really brave of her to choose such a well done, disturbing and exciting supernatural thriller for her debut. In an era of so-called authors, drown in their own contemptuous self-referential idea of cinema, De Venuto, the "Trentina" with Apulian origins, takes her inspiration from the glorious directors of our seventies genre cinema..." (Valerio Capra, Il Mattino)

"It is three times curious to watch and recommend a movie like Controra: an Irish-Italy co-production (first curiosity), a movie directed by a female film-maker at her debut (second curiosity), a pure horror genre movie with all the effective frights put at the right time and place (third curiosity).The film-making makes the statues and the corners of the streets frightful and the newcomer Rossella De Venuto masters it very well; the Scottish Fiona Glascott is casting's best choice; Ray Lovelock, the "beautiful" of the Italian detective-stories, is a living quote." (Alberto Crespi, l'Unità)

"Controra, written by De Venuto and Francesco Piccolo, is enlightened with grace and talent by the Zenith light, which strikes from the open sky and either showers terraces, rooftops, gardens, improvised soccer playgrounds, or silently penetrates dark rooms among tall, precious and frescoed ceilings, antique relics and heavy curtains. A "presence" that animates places and brings fears to the light..." (Tiziana Lo Porto, Il Venerdì)

House of Shadows has been presented at the following film festivals:
 Rome International Film Festival 2013 - Special Event
28° Bozner Filmtage – Bolzano Cinema 2014
Bari International Film Fest 2014 - international panorama
Neuchatel International Fantastic Film Festival 2014 nominated for Best film - Narcisse award

Q: hyphenation - non breaking hyphen - wrong result in some cases - iText 7.1.0 for Java At the moment I'm writing a couple of evaluatuation programs with iText.
There is an issue with Hyphenation.
We need the non breaking hyphen \u2010 which does'nt work properly in some
cases.

There should be no line break between "99" and "Tage" or "99" and "Frage".
Only "99-Days" works as expected!
I hope someone out there has an idea what could be the reason for that and what could be done.
The code below needs a correct path to arialuni.ttf.

Josef Candels (* 19. April 1903 in Jülich; † 27. Juli 1992 in Enkirch) war ein deutscher Maler des 20. Jahrhunderts, der dem allgemeinen Trend in der Kunst sowohl der Vor-, als auch der Nachkriegszeit in seinen Werken entgegen strebte.

Der Mensch Josef Candels
Josef wuchs in einer musikalischen Familie auf, in der jedes Familienmitglied ein Musikinstrument beherrschte. Seine Erziehung war traditionell, volkstümlich. Während seiner Jugendzeit träumte er oft von einer einsamen Insel, auf der er die Natur in sich erfahren könnte. Er verwirklichte diesen Traum von einem alternativen Leben in seinem Atelier auf Willigshell, einer Weinlage in einem Seitental der Mosel bei Enkirch.

Candels führte den Begriff des "poetischen Realismus" ein, der bezeichnend für seine Werke wurde. Darin stellte er die Schönheit und Farbenpracht der Natur in den Vordergrund, wobei auf Details in Form und Struktur der Motive eingegangen wurde.

Sehr wahrscheinlich durch seine außergewöhnliche und gesundheitlich fordernde Lebensweise litt Josef Candels an Arthrose. Er sprach von "Magenbeschwerden", die möglicherweise auf seinen verstärkten Zigarettenkonsum zurückzuführen waren. Der Künstler ernährte sich von Naturprodukten und versuchte sich auf diese Weise zu heilen. Er wurde fast 90 Jahre alt.

Neben seinem bildnerischen Genie war Candels unter anderem literarisch talentiert. Er schrieb den Text zu Karnevalsschlagern in rheinischer Mundart, wie z. B. "Wir fahren Gondola" (1933), um diesen anschließend dem Kölner Publikum in Prunksitzungen vorzusingen. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg entstanden diverse Gedichte, die oftmals Grundlage zahlreicher Gesängen (vor allem Trunkgesängen) wurden.

Biografie
Josef Candels besuchte von 1909 bis 1917 die Volksschule Jülich. Anschließend machte er eine Lehre als Kunsttischler und legte etwa 1920 die Gesellenprüfung ab. Danach besuchte Candels die Kunstgewerbeschule Aachen. Im Sommersemester 1927 immatrikulierte er an der Kunstakademie am Nordhof in München und unternahm 1933 eine Studienreise nach Italien.

Im Jahr 1940 wurde Candels in die Wehrmacht eingezogen und 1941 in Marienloh bei Paderborn stationiert. Dort war er als Maler tätig.

Im Jahr 1945 zog Candels nach Taubach bei Weimar und 1950 nach Enkirch an der Mosel.  Dort lebte und arbeitete er im Alter im einsam gelegenen Ahringstal, wie auch schon der Kunstmaler Heinrich Gesemann, der nur ein paar hundert Meter entfernt sein Wohnhaus und Atelier hatte.

Der Künstler über sich …
"Ich suchte immer Melodien, die zu Herzen gehen, die kleinen Wunder unserer ureigenen Wirklichkeit, trotz einiger sogenannter Studienreisen.Ich brauchte keine sensationelle, fremde Welt.
Mich begeistern die kleinen Wunder unseres Lebensbereiches..."
 Josef Candels, Traben-Trarbach 1983

… und wie er gesehen wurde
Die Kunsthistorikerin Elisabeth Gimler beschreibt Candels 1939 als "visuellen Typus", als jemanden, der "die große Geste" liebt. Sie spricht von einer Verschlossenheit, die sich nicht auf sein Äußeres, sondern auf sein "seelisches Erleben" bezieht. Dagegen führt sie an, dass der Künstler die Gesellschaft anderer sucht. Sie spricht ihm eine gewisse "pathetische Konstitution" zu; dass dieser freiheitsliebend und großzügig zugleich sei. Schließlich stelle er sein Gefühle über den Willen, was zu einer "schöpferischen Ursprünglichkeit" führe.

Nun sind diese Charakterisierungen mit Vorsicht zu lesen. Gimler schrieb dies zur Zeit des NS-Regimes, weshalb gewisse Vokabeln kritisch zu betrachten sind, da nicht klar ist, ob die o. g. Betrachtung öffentlich gemacht wurde.

Es existieren Leumundszeugnisse aus der frühen Nachkriegszeit, in denen Candels von Zeitzeugen schriftlich als "Antimilitarist" und "Gegner des Nationalsozialismus" bezeichnet wird. Diese Schriftstücke, die auch "Persilscheine" genannt wurden, dienten dem Nachweis der Nichtbeteiligung bezüglich der Vorkriegszeit in der sowjetischen Besatzungszone, in der Candels zu der Zeit lebte, und wurden von Personen und Firmen aus dem Rheinland ausgestellt.

Andere sehen ihn im selben Zusammenhang als "völlig apolitisch", was jedoch nicht ganz zutreffen kann, da Candels 1946 in die neu gegründete CDU eintrat.

Stilrichtung
Friedrich Gottwald beschreibt 1967 Candels Werke als Darstellungen eines "hellen Landes voller Wunder", in denen der Künstler "mit allen Sinnen das Schöne der Welt" suche und sich von "zeitbedingten Rangordnungen" distanziere. Treffenderweise bezeichnet er sie als "gemalte Musik".

Während seiner Zeit in der sowjetischen Besatzungszone bzw. der damals neu gegründeten DDR malte Candels Porträts russischer Offiziere. Er schuf Blumen- und ausdrucksstarke Fischbilder, die sein gesamtes Künstlerleben dominieren sollten.

Josef Candels prägte den Begriff des "poetischen Realismus". Es entstand eine "Serie" (wie er sie selbst bezeichnete) an Landschaftsdarstellungen vor allem der Mittelmosel und seiner Orte. Darin wirkte er weder dem allgemeinen Trend der Nachkriegszeit entgegen, welcher im Rausch des Wirtschaftswunders den Fortschritt lobte, noch schloss er sich der Darstellungsweise des sozialen Verfalls, der in den 1970er-Jahren die Kunst dominierte, an. Stattdessen schuf er Werke, die vom Motiv her romantischer Natur waren, so die Darstellungen der Mosel vor ihrem Ausbau zur internationalen Schifffahrtsstraße, welche Zeugnisse eines unwiederbringlichen Zustands der Natur im Mittelmoseltal sind.

Er konnte jedoch auch technologische Motive abbilden, wofür er seitens der Wirtschaft geschätzt wurde. So entstanden neben Darstellungen von Geschäft und Beruf in den 1960ern Industriebilder nach technischen Zeichnungen, die er speziell für Firmen anfertigte (z. B. Bilder der Moselstaustufen in der Bauphase). Hin und wieder findet man auch Werke, in denen die Sgraffiti-Technik verstärkt zum Einsatz kamen und welche symbolisch und abstrakt wirken. Hier zeigt sich wiederum Candels vielfältiges Talent.

The Lord of Hosts was not changed, in any way, when He took on flesh. He still remained as He is/was begotten in the express image of The Lord God Almighty. There is only ONE ANSWER, as to what took place, when The Holy Ghost, 'came upon Mary'. The Holy Ghost implanted The Lord of Hosts in Mary, as an 'embryo/fetus'. The Lord of Hosts, 'was in' this embryo/fetus. None of the physical characteristics of Mary, had any effect, on Jesus, as Son of Man. When Philip asked Christ to 'show them [the disciples] the Father [The Lord God Almighty...The Father of ALL CREATION], Jesus told Philip, "If you see me, you see The Father." When I saw Jesus standing on the right hand of The Lord God Almighty in the clouds, in my vision, they were identical in appearance [young men in their early thirties]. This also leads me to believe, that Christ began His teachings, when He had matured to the age, when He looked exactly like Himself as Lord of Hosts. This all makes sense. He also had to be crucified before He matured to the point, where He aged as a human being, beyond His appearance, as Lord of Hosts.

Mystery Show comes to Oak Bay Ave.
Red art gallery hosts second annual art lottery with a twist
Natalie North
A work of art by any other name would look as sweet.
It's an approach Red Art Gallery owner Marion Evamy is taking towards next week's second annual Mystery Show, an art sale by lottery, during which all names have been removed from works up for sale.
"When none of the paintings are identified by artists … it puts everybody on a level field and the art is good," Evamy said of the June 20 event. "It's standing on its own merit."
The idea is similar to other first-come-first-served-style art sales, only one step further, she added.
Forty 25-by-25 centimetre pieces created by 40 different artists will be up for grabs to 40 potential buyers at $295 each. Each guest will have the opportunity to view the work in advance before claiming a piece in 60 seconds or less, when their name is drawn at the show. The majority of the artists in the show are local, with others juried in from across B.C. and Alberta.
"We decided to level the playing field all the way by the draw, the luck of the draw," Evamy said.
While there is no expectation to purchase any art, most do. Last year 33 of 40 participants went home satisfied after a 45-minute lottery.
"A lot of people have two or three pieces that they may be interested in purchasing, so when their first choice goes, you maybe hear some aws or groans in the crowd, but different people like different things so we had 33 people who walked away happy last year."
Anything that isn't sold during the lottery will remain up for sale at Red Art Gallery (2033 Oak Bay Ave.) in the following days.
Peruse the works online now at redartgallery.ca or check them out in the gallery from Tuesday through Thursday next week. Advance tickets, available for $10 at Red, are required.
