Biografia

Ad appena quindici anni entrò a far parte dei gesuiti e si trasferì a Roma.
A ventun'anni divenne insegnante di belle lettere nel collegio dei Gesuiti a Napoli e successivamente di greco e latino a Brindisi, teologia e filosofia a L'Aquila e Salerno, nonché di greco ed ebraico nel ginnasio di San Saverio.

Dopo l'ordinazione sacerdotale, divenne bibliotecario e storiografo della sua comunità religiosa.

Nel 1773 lasciò la Compagnia di Gesù e si aggregò al clero romano, diventando il responsabile della biblioteca del principe Altieri.

Giovenazzi raggiunse la fama con la pubblicazione nel 1773 di un frammento dell'opera di Tito Livio, che egli rinvenne nella Biblioteca Vaticana.
Pubblicò, inoltre, ancora nel 1773, la dissertazione Della città di Aveia ne Vestini, delle osservazioni erudite su alcune pitture scoperte in Laterano e un saggio di erudizione storica e teologica. Pubblicò anche diverse opere poetiche in lingua latina.

Per la sua competenza nel campo delle scienze matematiche fu chiamato da papa Pio VI a lavorare nel progetto di prosciugamento delle paludi pontine. Per il pontefice compose anche diverse orazioni funebri.

I suoi concittadini ricordano la figura di questo umanista attraverso una scuola media a lui dedicata.

Una parte della sua corrispondenza si conserva nei manoscritti della Biblioteca Vaticana

Engineers love a desk pad! Yes, it is a fact. And they loved the latest in the series of annual desk pads we produced for the Albion Applications division of our client Albion 4C Group.
For Albion Applications the desk pad is a core marketing asset. Each year a group of loyal and well known customers look forward to the latest incarnation in the series. There is always a variation, a subtle change in purpose – a todo list, a fun tip for what to do next with the used A2 sheet.
This year we proposed the idea of team illustrations. We arranged a date, set up a pop-up studio and took some informal shots of the whole team. With a style in mind, one of our team turned each image into a simple, fun portrait. The Albion Applications team loved their illustrated caricatures – they even asked for some desktop wallpapers. The customers loved their pads.
The company values of real personal service and a non-hierarchical, non-siloed approach to business came across strongly in the approach to design and content choices. Text details have been intentionally blurred in these portfolio images.
Other work for Albion 4C Group includes website and infographic animations and the group brand identity.

Professor Rosario Ceballo Discusses Research in Women's Health Magazine
Women's Studies professor examines the intersection of race, infertility, and medical treatment
In a recent article from Women's Health, Women's Studies Professor and LSA Interim Dean for Social Sciences Rosario Ceballo extensively discussed her research on Black women's experiences of infertility. Professor Ceballo, who interviewed 50 Black women with infertility issues in a qualitative study for Psychology of Women Quarterly, reports that Black women are not only more likely than white women to experience trouble with becoming pregnant, but are also less likely to seek related medical attention.
"Virtually every single one of the women I interviewed talked about their experience as being characterized by isolation and loneliness because there were very few people in their lives they felt they could talk to about this," she notes. "A lot of the women said they decided to talk to me because they didn't want other Black women to have to go through this alone. The isolation was so painful and so difficult that they boldly decided that they were going to talk about their experiences so other women would not feel that."

It's a fabulous post all about Amy and her new novel! You know Amy right minions? I mean of course you do, 'cause if you didn't I'd have to terminate our friendship effective immediately. But I trust you, so shall we begin?
Amy's back with a new series, this is a Young Adult Dystopian novel, and release is set for 17th December! But what is Under Different Stars all about really?
Like I said you know who she is, the woman who brought us the Premonition series and Reed! *Swoon* But it wouldn't be a real post about Amy if I didn't have a pic, bio and links!
Okay I'm sure you're hyped enough now, so without further ado check out the gorgeous cover!
Didn't I say it was a gorgeous cover, I love it.
I know it's a cover reveal, but we also have a freaking teaser!
I glance at Trey; he looks like an advertisement for Calvin Klein. Wearing only dark, athletic boxers, he's something out of a catalog or a warrior movie. Blushing deeply, I want to crawl under the rock I'm on. "Wade into the water together. We should tie you two so that you're face-to-face with both your heads above the water," Jax says. Trey nods, extending his hand for me to take.
Avoiding looking at him, I stand up, walking to the water's edge on my own. Dipping my toes in the water, I pull them back sharply. "It's freezing!" I glower at them, hearing my voice echo off the walls again.
"If you survive this, I'll insist that you learn to swim," he says, sounding annoyed as Jax wades to us with a line, circling us.
"If I survive this, I'm killing you," I reply dryly, feeling the rope tense, drawing me tighter against Trey's warm body.
A small smile touches his lips at my comment. "How do you propose to do that?" He gazes into my eyes as Jax knots us together.
"I'll let you spend some sleepless nights worrying about that," I reply, my teeth beginning to chatter as the cold water is chilling me to the bone.
Eeek that was awesome! Is that booktatsic goodness or is that booktastic goodness?!
There you have it minions, a post all about Amy which I really needed to be honest. You can pre-order now on Smashwords, get ordering. I shall see you around people, have a great Wednesday!
I have good news and bad news. The bad? Iniquity has been pushed to early 2014. I know, I know. We were expecting it sometime this year, however Amy feels it isn't ready at least not to the level she wants it. And to be honest you can't really be pissed with that, I mean it's for our benefit right?
Reed takes my hand and brings it to his lips, kissing it tenderly. "And when we get that sleep, there will never be a your side or a my side of the bed—we'll always meet in the middle. And when I hold you there, in our bed, you'll let me rest my lips here." Reed lets go of my hand to move his thumb to caress the sensitive skin of my neck just beneath my ear. I get swept up in him: my body his with one touch. I turn and rub my cheek gently against his palm. "And we won't rush...ever," I murmur, forgetting to be scared for a moment as I kiss him.
Amy posted a poll on which character we would like a teaser from, obviously Reed won by a landslide. However there was some discussion over Xavier, so we have our Reed teaser BUT we have a little of Xavier mixed in!
I look out the back window, seeing Xavier's car regain the road from the shoulder and pursue our car. The fogged windshield of his Aston Martin cracks and shatters violently as Xavier's booted foot kicks it away. When it bows out in pieces, he drops his leg and uses his arm to begin clearing away the glass.
"What's he doing?" My eyes go to Reed who's watching the rearview mirror.
"You're kidding, right?" I ask with a squeak, my eyes widening.
"We have to stop Xavier from getting there first." He grasps my limp hand and puts it on the steering wheel.
My eyes stray to the rear window again in time to see Xavier break the windshield out completely. He lunges through the opening onto the hood of his car, taking two running steps with his red wings spread wide. Leaping forward from the hood, he glides through the air and lands on the back of our car as his vehicle spins off into a ditch. The Lamborghini bounces hard upon impact, and then it decelerates rapidly. Xavier's powerful wings beat the air, lifting the back tires off the ground. I have no time to protest as Reed climbs out through the sunroof. His dark, ashen wings open wide as he emerges from the car and lofts into the air. He catches Xavier around the throat with his forearm and yanks him off our car.
The tires swerve over the road when the back ones thump onto the ground again. I manage to hold onto the wheel, scrambling into the driver's seat. I touch the brake, coming to a stop. Shifting the car into neutral and engaging the safety brake, I turn to look out the rear window. Snow drifts in anaconda patterns over the barren pavement. With both of my hands gripping the seatback, I breathe heavily, watching Reed's wings thrash. He locks arms with Xavier whose wings serrate to red dagger points, and it's clear that both angels are trying to rip the other's arms off. Like a revolving door, Reed spins free from Xavier's strong fists. He runs at our car, hitting the back end; it slides forward on the road despite the brake. "GO!" Reed shouts at me. Then he turns back, catching Xavier around his waist before he can move to my door. Reed throws him back and he tumbles across the ground; he skids to a stop, growls, and rises to his feet. In the next moment, he's running at Reed with weapons in his hands.
I jump out of the car as Xavier uses his spade-shaped blades to slash at Reed. He misses with the one in his right hand, but not with the other in his left. The razor-edge connects with Reed's cheek, cutting it from his lips to his ear. My wings eject from me as I scream. Reed rears back from Xavier. I lift my hand, making Xavier's car rise into the air from the ditch; it comes down on the pavement directly behind him. Before Xavier can hurt Reed again, his feet leave the ground as he's thrust back through the empty windscreen of his car. He lands hard in the driver's seat, staring at me with a murderous expression. The shattered glass on the pavement collects and finds its way to the front of the car, settling into place and smoothing to transparency.
Xavier pounds his fist against it trying to break it out again, but the glass holds. "Evie!" His muffled voice is barely discernible above the sounds of his thrashing. When it still doesn't break, he slams his shoulder against the door. It doesn't open either. He beats the window, leaving smears of blood on it from his fists.
I walk to Reed who holds his hand to his face to stem his blood. "Are you okay?" I ask worriedly, as I touch his other cheek.
"Okay, just a second." I pull away from Reed and go to the driver's side of Xavier's car. When I near his window, I bend toward it, steaming it with my breath. Using my finger, I write: UOY ETAH I.
Pain shows in Xavier's mismatched eyes. He leans to the glass and fogs it with his breath. He pulls back, and with his finger, he writes: COME BACK TO ME. He rests his palm against the window. My heart squeezes tight, leaving no room for my blood to breathe. I feel hopeless as my eyes meet his again. I hate this. My hand twitches with the urge to meet his on the glass.
Reed backs our car next to me. I back away from Xavier's window and bump up against the door, blindly searching for the handle. When the door slides open, I retract my wings and scramble into my seat, refusing to look at Xavier again.
OMG! That was awesome! I want it now!
Stay wi' me, Genevieve... I hear Brennus' deep voice whisper in my mind before it fades away and is gone.
My lips move over Reed's now, and as I grow more awake, so too does the desire for the one who has me in his arms, my aspire. Light and smooth he teases; it increases the tension that coils within me for him. It warms me, teaching my skin by touch about love. I breathe him in.
The fire inside stirs, stokes, and then burns me. I open my eyes to see perfect green ones above me. Pleasure spreads; it finds new places I hadn't known existed. Gravity begins to win; it pulls me to Reed with magnetic stirrings of yearning. I want to fade into him, fit myself under his skin.
My fingertips reach up behind his ear, entangling in his dark brown hair, tussling it as I draw him closer to me. Our lips part to taste each other. I groan softly. Reed reacts; his wings unfold violently from him with a snap. The darkest gray feathers splay out thrillingly behind him. His arm goes behind me, pulling me nearer as my legs wrap around him. He lifts his lips from mine, causing our cheeks to brush against each other. The sensation of it pulses through me, reaching that dark place in my heart. I feel the darkness retreat for a moment before it fights back, surging forward with the blackest desire.
My fingernails tense on Reed's scalp. The white sheet wrapped around me is suddenly unbearably constricting. My bare leg slips from beneath it to rub against the soft fabric of Reed's loose-fitting pajama bottoms. They're slung low on his hips, making me want to rip them from him...and there's an equal urge to tear him, too. All of a sudden, I feel a desperate ache to consume him. I want to make Reed bleed. I want to make him bleed for me—only for me. My fingers shift in his hair, sliding to the back of his neck. The sharpest points of my teeth follow the column of his throat downward, grazing the smooth perfection of his skin. His grasp tightens on my hips.
I feel the beat of his arterial pulse beneath my tongue. His hand threads under the mass of my hair at the base of my neck while his thumb caresses my throat in gentle circles. The greedy desire recedes for a moment as my love for him swells. I sigh against Reed's skin in relief, freed from the strange impulse.
Something grows in me, a malicious wave of anger flows out of the dark place in my heart, like poison, it winds it's way through my veins. I lose my breath. My skin begins to chill as coldness seeps outward from my core. The poison races on, weaving through me. My lips slacken and rest on Reed's shoulder. This dark elixir travels up my throat and into my eyes. My irises recede to blackness while I take a shallow breath and exhale wisps of frozen air.
Reed must feel the change in me because he tenses in my arms. A deep point stabs me where I join the darkness, like two lines meeting. I lift my lips from Reed and a smile spreads them thin. Then my mouth opens wide right before I clamp down hard on Reed's shoulder. My teeth puncture his skin, sinking in. The iron taste of his blood fills my mouth, the shock of which registers in my mind, but my jaw remains rigidly clenched.
A rumble of laughter rolls up from my chest. My jaw eases and my teeth slide out of Reed's shoulder. Blood collects at the corners of my mouth, sliding down my chin to drip onto the white sheet pressed between us. I feel something inside of me stir; it makes me pull back from Reed. When I catch sight of his face, his expression is grim.
My eyebrows pull together as my eyes narrow. "Whah part of 'moin' do ye na understand, aingeal?" I hear myself say.
Gosh Brennus seriously needs to learn when to take a hike, I mean it's clear Evie doesn't want him. Dude man up and move the eff on!


Just kidding. This is one of the handful of blogs I've got in my aggregator.
I like the articles with pictures. Any of the articles discussing design choices you've made are interesting. I skip the polls and link posts, generally.
Looking forward to what you've got in the chute for the coming year!
I'll miss the game design articles :( I tried subscribing to GameSetWatch but the fire hose is a but too much for one irregular column. Can you ask them to make separate feeds for the columnists ?

Recently, we, unfortunately, had to deal with a patient who had suffered a serious accident whilst using a Planer at work. Unfortunately, the US government does not impose health and safety standards on using Planers, whilst they do with other specialized types of machinery, such as lawn mowers and chainsaws. What we don't understand though is that planers are actually extremely dangerous and can result in amputations. What we've released during the past two decades is that those who use planers are more likely to endure a very serious accident during their lifetime – more so than using any other type of equipment. Using a planer isn't just about getting training either, it's about being aware of what's going on and wearing the appropriate security and health and safety equipment that you need to make sure that you are kept safe. If you would like more information on wood working planer, please visit best planers because they have many of the top planers on the market reviewed for you.
Whilst we can't stop people using planers, and we most definitely can't tempt the government into making health and safety laws for planers, we sure can pinpoint you in the right direction to buying a great planer that already includes health and safety features. Many of the planers currently available on the market aren't made with safety in mind at all. Instead, they focus on having extremely large and powerful motors – which isn't all that's important. For example, consider reading a dw734 review and you'll soon begin to see why DeWalt is one of the leading manufacturers for planers. They are one of the only companies who take health and safety seriously.
Here's another planer from DeWalt, the DW735. The Dewalt DW735 is literally the best benchtop planer you can buy. I suggest it to anyone who is interested. It has a price tag of over $400, but it's well worth it if you plan on doing some serious woodworking.
Notice how both of them come with safety attachments and manuals that are specifically focused on keeping you safe? Seriously people, be extremely careful when working with planers because they can seriously damage your health. It advised using these machine with extreme caution. They cut through wood like butter so imagine what they could do to human flesh!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Rick43 from Great features but poor setup instructions. I bought the Cisco Linksys Wireless Access Point WAP300N 6 months ago and it is working as advertised. I have it set up in the Wireless Media Connector mode and have it connected to a Cisco Linksys Switch SE1500. This effectively extends my "wired network" for equipment in another room that is not wireless. For this configuration the only problem I have had is the setup instructions - they leave out one important first step.

However, one year later, the signal is not as it used to be. When trying to connect with whatever device (smartphone, computer..) from locations that formerly where perfectly working it simply doesn't connect!. When comming close to the antenna (3meters) the connection finally operates. What happened?, some failure in the components??

Menlo update: Downtown plan delay; Facebook upgrades
Menlo Park residents will wait another four weeks before seeing the environmental impact report for the downtown specific plan. In the meantime, the city is focusing on Facebook's desire to add amenities to its new home on the former Sun campus, according to presentations at the Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting on Thursday, Feb. 24.
Mayor Rich Cline told a crowd that included fellow council member Peter Ohtaki, City Manager Glen Rojas, and developer David Bohannon, who serves on the chamber board, that the environmental impact report (EIR) for the downtown specific plan could be released by the end of March.
First expected last fall, the release of the EIR was delayed as the city refines each element of the report in anticipation of heated public debate.
The council will take no action on the report during the summer to give staff time to analyze public comments, Mr. Cline said, but hopes to vote in the fall as long as the plan escapes the "political paralysis" that plagued similar Menlo Park projects in the past.
Stanford University, which owns vacant lots along El Camino Real, is actively participating in the planning process, according to the mayor. The university particularly wants to see senior housing that would include retail and hotels along that corridor.
Meanwhile, the city remains busy helping Facebook settle in at 10 Network Circle. The social networking giant's dreams for its new campus include opening a bike shop, small bookstore, perhaps Kepler's, and a three-days-a-week farmer's market, according to Dave Johnson, the city's business development manager.
The company also wants to add a "European feel" to the central corridor of the former Sun campus that would spill out into the nearby business area, Mr. Johnson said. The first employees should move in during July, after Facebook finishes knocking down interior walls and other renovations to buildings 10 and 11 on campus.
A "charrette" at the campus on Saturday, March 5, will feature 77 design professionals and 25 student architects working with Belle Haven residents and other stakeholders to suggest plans for four regions around Facebook's new home. The community planning process runs from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
All your news. All in one place. Every day.

With his latest Oscar contender Invictus, Clint Eastwood treats his audience as children. That's not necessarily such a bad thing, as indeed it's probably a good film to show to children. After all, it does deal with history in reasonably accurate broad strokes, and it preaches a message of universal tolerance while celebrating wise leadership. It's just a shame that Eastwood settles for storytelling that is persistently corny, with overstated dialogue the norm (and some overstated acting to match in supporting roles).
The subject is South Africa in the years following apartheid. Working from John Carlin's book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed a Nation, screenwriter Anthony Peckham begins in 1990, with Nelson Mandela at last free after twenty-seven years in prison for his organization of anti-apartheid sabotage. The film swiftly montages its way up to Mandela taking power as President in the historic democratic election of 1994. Newscasters clearly lay out his problems: economic growth, rising crime, and "balancing black aspirations with white fears." Keenly aware of the lingering, damaging attiudes of apartheid and apprehension that he will serve solely black interests, Mandela (Morgan Freeman) begins by reassuring old-guard staffers that they are welcome to join him in his work, and sets himself to building bridges by insisting on pairing his trusted ANC men with white Special Branch operatives to serve as an integrated presidential protection unit.
Keeping an eye out for every opportunity to build universal national morale, Mandela takes a special interest in the divisive national rugby team, the Springboks. Though the team isn't performing well, it remains a popular tradition among mostly white Afrikaners, while blacks see the team's green and gold as symbols of the repressive apartheid era. Mandela sees another opportunity for healing compromise. Despite his own personal sacrifice, Mandela has determined to "turn the other cheek": as he tells his skeptical security head (Tony Kgoroge) of his team's integration, "The rainbow nation starts here. Reconciliation starts here...Forgiveness starts here too." Invictus is at its best in depicting the consideration of progressive leadership and, in particular, Mandela's ability to see the big picture: ostensibly, Invictus is about rugby, but while Mandela learns to love the sport, he seems more of a chess man at heart, gambling that his series of moves to invest in the Springboks can pay off in food for a country that's "hungry for greatness."
With the 1995 World Cup looming, Mandela invites Springbok captain François Pienaar (Matt Damon, in false nose) to tea. Like Lieutenant Columbo if he were a world leader, Mandela makes canny implications: "How do we inspire ourselves to greatness when nothing less will do? How do we inspire everyone around us?" A gobsmacked Pienaar later tells his wife, "I think he wants us to win the World Cup." Yep, that's exactly what he wants, and in true inspirational movie fashion, he's going to get it. Though Invictus rapidly turns into a sports movie, there's not much indication, in athletic terms, of how the Springboks stepped up their game. Peckham and Eastwood suggest that the winning factor was a change of attitude, with the reluctant players (all white, save for the constantly singled out Chester Williams) learning from their captain to see the value in coaching clinics for African youth, African anthems, and the powerful story of Mandela's life journey to become their president and biggest fan. Underlining the latter, Pienaar organizes a team field trip to Robben Island, where Eastwood shoots Damon in Mandela's actual cell.
Invictus is the sort of movie that, despite hewing fairly closely to the facts, has trouble seeming truthful. Practically everyone behaves like an allegorical symbol rather than a person, a problem the script anticipates and acknowledges but only feebly attempts to solve. One of Mandela's bodyguards blurts to another, "He's not a saint, okay? He's a man, with a man's problems." These problems include overwork that leads to dire health warnings (paired with Mandela's insistence on donating a third of his salary, this one sounds rather saintly) and separation from his wife and family (one scene depicts Mandela openly flirting with a younger woman). Despite the script's protestation, Mandela and Pienaar come across as essentially perfect, idealized leaders capable of miracles, but perhaps tellingly, only Pienaar is allowed to show anger.
The last act of Invictus seriously bogs down in its lengthy, fragmented recreations of the rugby matches, which show us scrum after grappling, heaving scrum but never stoke the least bit of interest or tension. Again, the script seems to recognize the problem, adding three terribly manipulative scenes implying that a major terrorist event is just about to happen! (One of these incidents is rooted in fact, but it's poorly staged all the same.) Freeman does fine as Mandela, though he never quite captures the serenely sunny mask—or is it essence?—of Mandela's public image, which might have been more usefully played against an imaginative interpretation of his private self; Damon is just as serviceable as Pienaar, who at least has one or two moments where he seems to be thinking something other than "Will the Springboks win the World Cup?" The overall impression of Invictus is that of a movie you'd never want to sit through again, one that seems to have left out most of the interesting stuff of its true story.
Aspect ratios: 2.4:1
Audio: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1
Distributor: Warner Home Video
Warner delivers a sturdy special edition for Invictus on Blu-ray. Though the image at time has a post-production polish that limits its film-like quality, the picture appears accurate to the filmmaker's intent, in its lightly tweaked color and contrast. Detail and texture are good, and the picture is free of any kind of distracting digital artifact, for an all-around impressive image. Audio comes in an absorbing, lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix that nicely prioritizes dialogue but also has power to support the rugby scenes with their on-field action and wraparound crowds.
Blu-ray offers three exclusive bonus features, beginning with the Picture-in-Picture track Vision, Courage and Honor. It's a thorough examination of the film's making and the true stories that inspired it, featuring extensive interviews with the real-life figures, cast and crew, most notably director Clint Eastwood. Effectively, this serves as a video commentary, though not entirely screen-specific.
The Blu-exclusive "Mandela Meets Morgan" (28:10, HD) is a making-of that begins with a focus on the star and his subject but branches out to Damon and Pienaar as well as other areas of production. Participants include Eastwood, Freeman, Damon, Playing the Enemy author John Carlin, producer Lori McCreary, producer Mace Neufeld, Mandela's executive assistant Zelda LaGrange, screenwriter Anthony Peckham, Tony Kgoroge, François Pienaar, Pienaar's wife Nerine, sports coordinator Aimee McDaniel, '95 Springbok/technical advisor Chester Williams, Scott Eastwood, producer Robert Lorenz, '95 Springbok Joel Stansky, costume designer Deborah Hopper,prop maker Dominic V. Ruiz, location manager Patrick Mignano, location manager Peter Currey, presidential protection unit member Linga Moonsamy, and head of presidential protection unit Jason Tshabalala.
Also exclusive to the Blu-ray is "Matt Damon Plays Rugby" (6:49, HD), about the production's efforts (and especially Damon's) to achieve accuracy in the rugby scenes. Interviewees include Eastwood, Stransky, Julian Lewis Jones, Damon, McDaniel, McCreary, François and Nerine Pienaar, Peckham, Lorenz and Williams.
"The Eastwood Factor" (22:23, SD) is an excerpt from film critic Richard Schickel's longer film of the same name, which follows Eastwood as he discusses his career and prowls the Warner lot encountering reminders of his many Warner shoots.
Lastly, we get the "Invictus Music Trailer" (2:35, HD).

All Your Auto Operating Systems Are Belong To Japan, Inc.?

In response to similar moves from the European Union, the Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry are joining together with basically every Japanese automaker and major supplier — including Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Denso — to create a unified automotive OS for all automakers from the island nation. They're doing it with the claimed aim of "creating a global standard in the field." But we know once it leaves prototype mode in 2009, the Japanese takeover of the automotive world will be complete — and all your cars brains are belong to the land of the rising sun. Look on the bright side — at least it won't be German. [via The Raw Feed]

Q: java swing drag and drop on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS I didn't change my code, but drag and drop recently stopped working to external applications (Firefox/Chrome browsers, dolphin, etc.) from a java Swing application running on Ubuntu. We think this may have changed after an Ubuntu upgrade.
The problem happens dropping onto Firefox/Google Chrome or onto file explorers on Ubuntu. The problem doesn't affect drag and drop within our Swing application.
When a drag is initiated, you can see the icon for dragging correctly shows, but when you drag over any of the drop locations, they show a red cancel type icon showing you can't drop there. Letting go of the mouse at that point does nothing in the java application code.
What needs to be changed in our java app to support what is expected? Drag and drop still works fine within the java app.
Here is the java code used to support a Transfer:
public static DataFlavor uriListFlavor; // initialized elsewhere as new DataFlavor("text/uri-list;class=java.lang.String");
JTable docsTable; // initialized elsewhere

docsTable.setTransferHandler(new DocTransferHandler());
//etc.

public static class DocTransferHandler extends TransferHandler {

    DocTransferHandler() {
    }

    @Override
    protected Transferable createTransferable(JComponent component) {
      ArrayList<File> files = new ArrayList<>();
      if (component instanceof JTable) {
        JTable table = (JTable)component;
        int[] rows = table.getSelectedRows();
        for (int row : rows) {
          String filePath = String.valueOf(table.getTModel().getValueAt(row, FILE_PATH_COLUMN));
          String fileName = String.valueOf(table.getTModel().getValueAt(row, FILE_NAME_COLUMN));
          files.add(new File(filePath+"/"+fileName));
       }
      }
      return new Transferable() {
        @Override
        public DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors() {
          DataFlavor[] flavors = new DataFlavor[2];
          flavors[0] = DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor;
          flavors[1] = uriListFlavor;
          return flavors;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean canImport(TransferSupport support) {
          return (support.isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor) || support.isDataFlavorSupported(uriListFlavor);
        }

        @Override
        public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor flavor) throws UnsupportedFlavorException, IOException {
          if (flavor.equals(CaseManagedDocs.uriListFlavor)) {
            String uriList = "";
            for (File file : files) {
              uriList += file.toURI() + System.lineSeparator();
            }
            return uriList;
          } else if (flavor.equals(DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor)) {

          }

Johann Franz Xaver Sterkel (ur. 3 grudnia 1750 w Würzburgu, zm. 12 października 1817 tamże) – niemiecki kompozytor, pianista i organista, ksiądz katolicki.

Życiorys
Uczył się gry na organach u Albrechta Adama Kettego i Georga Weismandela w Würzburgu. W 1764 roku rozpoczął studia teologiczne na uniwersytecie w Würzburgu, w 1774 roku otrzymał święcenia kapłańskie. W 1768 roku otrzymał posadę organisty w kaplicy kolegiackiej Neumünster w Würzburgu, a w 1778 roku kapelana dworskiego i organisty na dworze elektora Friedricha Karla Josepha von Erthala w Moguncji. W latach 1779–1782 odbył podróż do Włoch, gdzie w Neapolu wystawił swoją operę Il Farnace. W 1791 roku spotkał w Aschaffenburgu Ludwiga van Beethovena, na którym wywarł duże wrażenie i z którym razem koncertował. Od 1793 roku był kapelmistrzem orkiestry dworskiej w Moguncji, aż do jej rozwiązania w 1797 roku. Następnie wrócił do Würzburga, a około 1802 roku wyjechał do Ratyzbony, gdzie działał na dworze księcia arcybiskupa Karla Theodora von Dalberga, zakładając szkołę chóralną. Od 1810 do 1814 roku był kapelmistrzem na dworze książęcym w Aschaffenburgu. Wystawił wówczas m.in. Czarodziejski flet i Uprowadzenie z seraju W.A. Mozarta. W 1815 roku, po krótkim pobycie w Monachium, ponownie wrócił do Würzburga.

Twórczość
Jego styl zbliżony jest do twórczości szkoły mannheimskiej i Josepha Haydna. Swoją twórczością przyczynił się do spopularyzowania w Niemczech muzyki kameralnej z udziałem fortepianu. Jego styl klasyfikowano jako miękki, jego liryczne sonaty o luźnej strukturze przypominają te tworzone później przez Schuberta.

Oprócz wystawionej w 1782 roku w Neapolu opery Il Farnace skomponował 26 symfonii, 4 uwertury koncertowe, 6 koncertów fortepianowych, kwintet fortepianowy, 46 triów na fortepian lub klawesyn, 28 sonat na fortepian lub klawesyn, Grand Quintette na 2 skrzypiec, 2 altówki i wiolonczelę, 31 sonat skrzypcowych, 6 duetów na skrzypce i altówkę, 13 sonat fortepianowych, 125 pieśni, 4 msze, 2 Te Deum.

Today I'm excited to introduce a new series on the blog called "Conversations with Creatives." I will feature inspiring creative entrepreneurs and their stories. I love learning about what others are doing with their dreams and talents and am curious about their process and work. We'll kick things off with a Q&A with my dear friend Caroline Droke of Shake The Love card shop. We go way back to our high school days when creativity meant improv skits in Theater class and making pinhole cameras in Photography class. When I heard about her new venture, I just had to have here on the blog to share shake the love. Enjoy!
Hi Caroline! Tell us a little bit about yourself. By day I am an associate designer for a baby clothing brand, and by night I am a self-employed stationery designer. I live with my husband Brad in a sunny apartment in Queens, NYC. Brad and I designed our wedding invitation together with some help from an illustrator friend. I had so much fun with that project that I decided to try designing a line of greeting cards, and in December 2014 I launched Shake the Love.
How did you come up with the name Shake The Love? My shop name Shake the Love came from a tradition that started with my old roommates at our Sunday suppers. Every Sunday evening the four of us would cook together and then gather around the dinner table. Before we ate we always held hands to say grace, and before we let go we would give each others hands a little jiggle to "shake the love" around the table. I want the products I'm designing to evoke that same kind of warmth and love that I felt in that apartment. Those girls are sweet and caring, and our time living together was truly magical.
Who is your ideal customer? My cards and prints are for anyone who loves spreading joy to the people around them! I like to incorporate bright colors and cheerful patterns to match with the positive message of the products. In the age of texting and tweeting, its still wonderful to receive an actual card from someone you love.
What made the biggest difference in starting out your business? The support of my husband, friends and family has made a big difference in my success as I start out with this new project. I have so many wonderful people encouraging me and supporting my business.
Where do you find your inspiration? I find ideas in art, fashion, and really all over the place. I might see lettering I like on a restaurant storefront or a color combination on a pillow in a catalogue. I love vibrant color combinations, which is evident in my products as well as my closet. The messages in my products truly come from my heart. In this first year, I've been following the calendar with my new designs- New Years, Valentines, then a first anniversary card to give to my husband on March 15th. The card says "Happy 365 days of awesome", which is absolutely how I feel about our first year of marriage. I am so blessed to have his love and support. I've also designed some wall art of scripture verses and hymn lyrics that inspire me.
What's a big win you've experienced so far? One major success for me was a feature in an article on USAToday. One card in my shop is for Galentine's Day- a holiday that was invented on the tv show Parks and Recreation, and has really taken off as a way to celebrate your lady friends the day before Valentine's Day. That card sold more copies than anything else I've made to date and the USAToday feature brought a lot of new traffic to my shop.
What is a lesson you learned from your experience? Something I've learned is that I can't focus on changing buyers' behavior, I need to focus on improving myself. When traffic and sales are down, that doesn't mean my productivity takes a dive. I have set my own timeline and goals, and I'm constantly looking for ways to enhance my business- new products, better photos, competitor research, more engagement on social media. I take both failures and successes as a challenge for improvement.
What do you think a creative's greatest strength is? Weakness? For me personally, I would say being creative allows me to problem solve in creative ways and see new opportunities. My success on Etsy is dependent on my ability to stand out by creating new and unique products. My greatest weakness might be focus- I tend to skip around between projects instead of taking them one at a time. Sometimes that's not a bad thing though, if I'm having trouble with one thing its good to move to something else.
What's next for you and Shake The Love? I'm looking forward to lots of new additions to my product line. Coming up soon I'll be adding customizable party invitations to the shop for baby showers and bridal showers. I've also been commissioned to design a wedding invitation! I'm so excited to create something wonderful for their special day.
Thank you, Caroline, for sharing your story! Check out Shake the Love that has stationary products that are as colorful, thoughtful, and fun as the designer!
If you found this conversation interesting, share it with your friends using the buttons below! If you know an inspiring creative entrepreneur whose story can bless others, email me and let me know, would love to chat with them!

The Rams defeated the New Orleans Saints 26-23 in overtime on a game-winning 57-yard field goal from Greg Zuerlein to advance to the Super Bowl.
While Zuerlein had a great day kicking the football, most are talking about a controversial non-pass interference call. The play happened with under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter on third and 10 when Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman appeared to run into Saints receiver Tommylee Lewis prior to the ball arriving to him.
As a result, New Orleans was forced to kick a field goal to push the lead to 23-20 instead of having an opportunity to milk the clock on a fresh set of downs before a game-winning score.
Ummmm...what is a pass interference?

Recipes on the Rail: Something Sweet to Enjoy with Your Valentine
BNSF's predecessors and their passenger rail dining services each had their own set of signature menus and dishes, depending on their geographical routes. Our series, Recipes on the Rail, will take you back to the days of dining car service and provide you with some delicious recipes for your enjoyment.
While short dinner excursions on rail or on a boat may make a romantic Valentine's date night or special anniversary dinner today, dining aboard a train used to be an everyday affair to the more affluent travelers who wished to see the West Coast on our predecessor lines.
Before railcar dining, travelers had limited options for dining during their journey. Sometimes they would pack their own food baskets for the trip, but those wouldn't always last. If baskets ran out, there might be a young boy working as a "news butcher" roaming the railcars with fruit, sandwiches and newspapers for sale.
If passengers were lucky, there was a refreshment room where they could disembark to stretch their legs and hastily buy a variety of pies, sandwiches or hard-boiled eggs to tide them over. However, they only had about 15 minutes to get their food and drink (about the time it took to replenish the water tanks for the steam locomotives) before the call to board the train was heard.
That all changed in the mid-1800s following the introduction of the Pullman car. In 1868, just a few years after unveiling his sleeper car, George Pullman introduced the first dining car, The Delmonico, and changed the way passengers traveled by rail forever. The car cost $20,000 to build, or approximately $360,000 in today's currency.
At first, the cars were arranged to have the kitchen in the middle with seating flanked on either side, but that proved to be an undesirable layout, so most later models placed the kitchen at one end of the car. Each dining car had a trained, permanent staff of two cooks and four attentive waiters who sometimes served upwards of 250 meals per day, though some services may have a staff up to a dozen.
When BNSF predecessor Northern Pacific debuted its express service to the West Coast, the North Coast Limited, on April 29, 1900, the dining menu was as rich as the sights viewed from the railcar domes. As passengers traveled from Chicago through Yellowstone National Park and all the way to Seattle they were encouraged to stop by the railcar for friendly service, good conversation and a hot meal finished off with delicious desserts like the Northern Pacific Devil's Food Cake.
As Valentine's Day nears, you too can recreate the romantic luxury of passenger rail days-gone-by -- and enjoy this cake with a loved one or some friends.
Northern Pacific Devil's Food Cake #1
½ cup butter, softened
1/8 (a pinch) of salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir soda, salt and vanilla into milk. Add to first mixture. Add sifted dry ingredients, mixing completely. Pour into 9x13 inch greased cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

Alberta Paint your wagon: A female driver's pioneering pink ride in a Wild West sport
Paint your wagon: A female driver's pioneering pink ride in a Wild West sport
Amber L'Heureux is blazing a trail for women through Western Canada's chuckwagon circuit. 'If you don't believe what I can do, watch me prove you wrong'

North Battleford, Sask.

Amber L'Heureux, the world's first female professional chuckwagon driver, races to the finish line in North Battleford, Sask., on May 31.
Photography by Leah Hennel/The Globe and Mail
Amber L'Heureux sits in the driver's seat of her pink chuckwagon.
She grips pink and white reins, pulling against the power of four thoroughbred horses hooked to her ride.
She's wearing pink underwear beneath dirty blue jeans.
She doesn't even care much for pink.
But pink is her signature colour and she's on the racetrack in North Battleford, Sask., to make a statement. She is the world's first female professional chuckwagon driver. This is her first race in the big leagues. Her first chance to prove that she belongs.
The bleachers are overflowing with 1,037 paying fans cheering before the announcer introduces Ms. L'Heureux. Scores of spectators wear pink, watching a sport that can have deadly consequences.
"Glad you made it out here tonight to witness history," the announcer says as the crowd cheers.
The rookie steadies the four horses pulling her wagon. Her two competitors − one to the left, one to the right − do the same.
"Silence please," the announcer says.
Four seconds pass.
The starting horn blares.
"Off we go!"
Chuckwagon races re-enact a Wild West myth: breaking camp to escape attackers. Two outriders − folks on horseback hoofing it with the chucks − accompany each wagon.
At the horn, outrider Basil Mosquito pulls Ms. L'Heureux's horses to get the team going. In the rear, Chloe Studer throws a cookstove prop into the back of the chuckwagon. These outriders are wearing pink skivvies, too.
Ms. L'Heureux makes a Figure 8 around two white barrels while her outriders jump into their saddles to do the same.
Their challengers make 8s in neighbouring lanes. Three chucks, 12 wagon horses, and six outriders gallop away from invisible enemies.
On her family ranch outside Glaslyn, Sask., Ms. L'Heureux wears the chuckwagon-racing gear in her signature colour, pink.
A shelf in her room is filled to capacity with trophies. She joined the pony chariot circuit as a teenager, but said ponies just weren't enough.
Ms. L'Heureux trains her thoroughbred horses on the ranch. She started buying wagon horses and harnesses in 2014, looking ahead to the professional tour.
Amber L'Heureux has the smile of a rodeo queen and the strength of a Teamster.
She lifts 100 pounds on a hand-me-down weight machine in her fading red barn. She needs upper-body strength to control the thoroughbreds hauling her wagon. She does squats with a barbell loaded with 90 pounds, keeping her lower body in proportion to her upper half.
She paints her toenails and gets eyelash extensions.
"It is the little bit of girlyness I get to keep," Ms. L'Heureux says on her ranch outside Glaslyn, Sask.
Ms. L'Heureux's grandfather and mom raced thoroughbred chariots and her mom and dad also raced pony chariots and wagons. In these events, the horses and wagons are smaller, although still rollicking. She jumped in wagons to play with the reins whenever she could.
"It's all I've known," she says, now 26. She joined the pony circuit as a teenager, winning racing buckles, respect, but not self-satisfaction.
"Racing ponies was never going to be enough."
Her parents worried about how she would be received on the pro-chuckwagon tour, even though she met the Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association's speed and skill requirements last year. "My whole life, I've been an outcast for pursuing something that wasn't cookie cutter.
"If you don't believe what I can do, watch me prove you wrong," she says. "I've let it fuel my fire."
Preston Faithful, a chuckwagon driver from Frog Lake, Alta., raced ponies with Ms. L'Heureux when they were younger. Plenty of chuckwagon stars get their start racing ponies, learning how to control powerful horses, make tight turns, and stay upright at wild speeds. Mr. Faithful scoffs at her detractors.
"Everyone was kind of skeptical," he says. "But I told people, I said: 'She is not going to have a problem. She's a tough girl and she knows how to drive.' "
Ms. L'Heureux started buying wagon horses and harnesses in 2014, eyeing the pro tour. Her 14 thoroughbreds are fed three times daily, with oats as the staple. Depending on the meal and horse, they also receive flax and specialty pellets ranging from protein supplements to anti-inflammatories. Every night, Ms. L'Heureux feels their legs, checking for swelling, inflammation and other troubles. She has a diploma in Animal Health Technology from Lakeland College in Vermilion, Alta.
The horses nuzzle their owner with their heads and necks. They hover around for kisses. They lick.
"This is the part I wish people could see," she says. "There's just a bond that people don't understand."
Instead, chuckwagons attract the most attention when horses, drivers or outriders are killed.
A stuffed unicorn decorated with ribbons dangles under the driver's seat of her chuckwagon. The green ribbon is for Greg Smith, a friend killed racing ponies in Vermilion. The purple one is for Bill McEwen, a chuckwagon driver who died after a wreck at the Calgary Stampede in 1999.
"I was six," Ms. L'Heureux says. "I still remember seeing that."
A guardian angel from her grandparents is pinned to another ribbon.
"Death is never really something that scared me," she says. "If it happens in a wagon box, at least I'm doing something I love."
After the North Battleford race, Ms. L'Heureux has a quiet moment with her horses. "This is the part I wish people could see," she says. "There's just a bond that people don't understand."
Chloe Studer is one of Ms. L'Heureux's outriders, the members of a chuckwagon team that load items into the wagon and then follow behind it. Being an outrider can be a dangerous and even fatal job.
Last light at the season opener in North Battleford. More than 1,000 spectators came to see Ms. L'Heureux's debut.
Ms. L'Heureux chases a veteran, with another rookie on her tail, as the three wagons charge around North Battleford's half-mile track. She holds her ground, finishing second. Ms. L'Heureux changes six decades of history in one dusty minute.
She watches a replay of her heat until 2 a.m., looking for mistakes.
Ernest Checkosis remembers Ms. L'Heureux as a kid, when he was racing. He stands on the hill beside the packed bleachers on Day 2. Ms. L'Heureux places third.
"When I heard that she was going to drive, I wanted to see her," he says. "Holy − she can handle them."
On Day 3, her wagon crosses the finish line first.
"There's a lot of fans out there screaming and hollering for her," Mr. Faithful says. "She was clean. She didn't hurt no horses. She didn't hurt anybody. Your first race, your first year − you can't do any better."
Ms. L'Heureux disagrees.
"I'm at the bottom," she says. "That doesn't sit well with me."
Ms. L'Heureux races this weekend in Dewberry, Alta.
"Opening weekend nerves are gone," she says. "It's go-time."
Watch: Amber L'Heureux is the world's first female professional chuckwagon driver. See her practice her skills behind the reins.
