Q: How to get a copy of all uploaded images from a Plone site I am working on a plone site with version 4. I want to have a copy of all the uploaded images. What is the way to get it? I couldn't get appropriate documentation for it.

A: If you are comfortable with the Linux command line and want something quick and dirty to get ALL images locally, you can add a script (Python) via the zmi into the portal_skins/custom folder on the Plone site, with the following code:
from Products.CMFCore.utils import getToolByName

base = 'http://example.com/'
pc = getToolByName(context, 'portal_catalog')
query = {'portal_type': 'Image'}
brains = pc(query)
for brain in brains:
    path = brain.getObject().absolute_url()[len(base):]
    dire = '/'.join(path.split('/')[:-1])
    print "mkdir -p '%s';wget %s%s -O '%s'" % (dire, base, path, path)
return printed

(Replace example.com with your site domain name)
Call the script 'image_links'.
Then go to to http://example.com/image_links
You should see a whole bunch of bash shell script commands on the web page. Copy and paste those into a terminal, and your machine should download the images.
Alternatively, put those commands into a shell script and download them all at once.
This produces a directory structure with all images on the site.
I used something similar a few weeks ago to download 3500 images from a client site. Took an hour or 2, but without involvement from me.
Keep in mind that this is quick and dirty: Images get the Plone object name, so might not have the correct extension, etc. YMMV.

A: A simple (but manual) way is to connect to your Plone site using a webdav client and authenticating using Plone credentials.
In this way you can move inside Plone folders and drag & drop images from remove site to your local machine.

Amongst essentially the most widespread electrical wiring questions is on how to wire a switch. When working with switches in your own home is fairly quick, wiring 1 may not be that straightforward for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You'll find different kinds of switches, but for this example, let's say you happen to be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an exceedingly frequent change (along with the most basic).
You can find a few shades of wires within a common single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and join them about the terminal screws - a single on major as well as the other over the base screw in the change. The white wire serves as being a supply of uninterrupted power and is particularly usually connected to the gentle colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the environmentally friendly wire into the ground screw of one's switch.
These ways would usually be ample to create a normal swap operate without a problem. Nevertheless, for those who aren't confident which you can carry out the activity thoroughly and properly you superior let the professionals do it alternatively. After all, you can find a motive why this process is probably the most common electrical wiring concerns asked by most people.
For many reason, ways to wire a ceiling fan is additionally one of the most popular electrical wiring inquiries. To simplify this undertaking, you may use one change to get a single ceiling fan. To wire the fan, it truly is merely a make any difference of connecting the black wire with the ceiling fan on the black wire of the switch. When there is a lightweight, the blue wire needs to be connected on the black wire on the swap also.
You'll find reasons why they're probably the most typically asked electrical wiring issues. A single, many imagine it is really easy to accomplish, and two, they are the frequent electrical jobs at home. But then you definately should not put your protection at risk in your intention to save money. The stakes could even be a lot greater should you attempt to get monetary savings and do an electrical wiring job with no enough awareness or expertise.

In this study, we report first time the effect of laser pulse repetition frequency and pulse width of femtosecond laser radiation on silicon nanofibrous structure formation under ambient condition. Surface nanotexture analysis revealed the changes in fibrous structure density and size in respect of laser pulse width and repetition frequency. A phonon confinement model is used to explain the Raman spectra of processed specimens in order to understand the structure details of nanofibrous structure and hence to support the surface nanotexture analysis. The present investigation leads to a conclusion that nanofibrous structure is formed due to the aggregation of silicon nanoparticles and their size is estimated using the confinement model which is in the order of few nanometers.

Limited places available for talk about Kingswells
A limited number of places are still available for a fascinating talk on the history of Kingswells, which is being held at 12.30pm on Wednesday 23 January, at Aberdeen's Maritime Museum, Shiprow.
The talk by historian Chris Croly will include the history of Aberdeen's freedom lands, the history of Quakers and their persecution in Aberdeen. Chris will also look at some of the consumption dykes in the area; Kingswells is home to the Long Cairn, one of the oldest prehistoric monuments in Aberdeen.
Chris Croly said: 'Kingswells is an area rich in history. My talk will look at the importance of the Jaffrey family who purchased Kingswells estate in the late 16th century. They built Kingswells House and were one of the more important Quaker families in the area. Fortunately for us they left a selection of diaries and recollections of their lives which help us to tell the history of the area in such vivid detail."
Places are free but booking is essential by telephoning the museum on (01224) 337714. The talk will last approximately 30 minutes.
Tuesday – Saturday 10am-5pm
Sunday 12noon-3pm

Q: Некорректное получение ссылки Есть диалог, в котором реализован метод получения ID-шника ссылки
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            dialog.dismiss();
            Toast.makeText(getContext(), "ОК", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            String string = input.getText().toString();
            useLinkInput(string);
        }

А вот собственно и сам метод получения ID:
private void useLinkInput(String input) {
    Uri uri = Uri.parse(input);
    String videoID = uri.getQueryParameter("v");
    url = "http://img.youtube.com/vi/" + videoID +"/0.jpg";
    Log.d("url",url);
}

В логи выводит ссылку, которую вводит пользователь, но ссылка не отображается:
D/url: http://img.youtube.com/vi/null/0.jpg

A: Если Вам всё же понадобиться выводить не только ссылки, которые в вопросе, но и их "короткие" версии(short link), то просто видоизмените Ваш код следующим образом:
private void useLinkInput(String input) {
    Uri uri = Uri.parse(input);
    String videoID = uri.getQueryParameter("v");
    if (TextUtils.isEmpty(videoID)) {
        String[] str = input.split("/");
        videoID = str[str.length - 1];
    }
    url = "http://img.youtube.com/vi/" + videoID + "/0.jpg";
    Log.d("url", url);
}

A: Функция получения video ID для youtube по любым (so far) ссылкам:
public static String getYoutubeId(String url) {
    String id = "";
    String pattern = "(?<=watch\\?v=|/videos/|embed/|youtu.be/|/v/|/e/|watch\\?v%3D|watch\\?feature=player_embedded&v=|%2Fvideos%2F|embed%\u200C\u200B2F|youtu.be%2F|%2Fv%2F)[^#&\\?\\n]*";

    Pattern compiledPattern = Pattern.compile(pattern);
    Matcher matcher = compiledPattern.matcher(url);
    if (matcher.find()) {
        id = matcher.group();
    }
    return id;
}


Tighe? Did he mean tight? Is this another alcohol fuelled post? No, it's about tight budgets if anything. During the 1960s, and especially after dad was made redundant in 1961/2 – not that we boys knew it – my parents needed to find another source of income. To being with we hosted French students – Francoise and I think Elise – both jolly yet, latterly my mother confessed they didn't do as much as she had expected for the relatively cheap rent they paid. So it was that my parents took in a lodger. This would have been about 1965 I think. John Tighe – pronounced Tie – who stayed with us for I guess two or three years. He couldn't have been much more that late 20s – I knew he was younger than my parents but an adult – who was largely indifferent to me and the Archaeologist and, for that, of course, he seemed glamorous and attractive.
Things must have been hard then – redundancy pay wasn't much of anything and the benefit system nothing like today for all the complaints – so they put up with having a single young man enjoying what the 1960s had to offer. I assume there were some kind of rules, no doubt thoughtfully enforced by mum because dad wouldn't have enjoyed any sort of confrontation. Indeed dad introduced John to his friends at the rugby club, peopled by a range of ages and including a group similarly young working and single as John. One was called 'The Vicar'. I asked mum why he was called that to be told because he wasn't which made no sense to an 8 year old – at least not then. I would surmise they 'played' pretty hard and keeping some of the 'aftermaths' of such a lifestyle would have tested my mother's ingenuity and our ability to stay quiet on those mornings after.
So our family and John rubbed along ok. He occupied a small room on the ground floor next to the lounge – where my gran stayed when she visited. I don't know how they got round that but they did somehow because gran always came at least twice a year.
For work, he dressed in smart grey suits with a blue shirt – in those days white was still expected so this too stood out. And he always had a car. Well it seemed so because for a time he was a rep who visited businesses and then he acted as a car chauffeur delivering cars. Once he had an American car with these huge fins. All the kids in the street crowded round that and I felt quite proud to be associated with something that caused such a stir.
The best memory, though, is when he worked at Gatwick airport. Gatwick was new back then, the second London airport opened by the Queen in 1958. I don't know what John did but he had access to the runways and planes because one sunny evening after dad finished work, mum, dad the Archaeologist and I drove the few miles to the airport where John met us and let us in. It seems inconceivable now but we were given access to all the most sensitive areas. We walked out alongside taxiing planes – I'm not sure they took off and landed but they were certainly moving around, these big beasts. Remember my first ever flight was in 1981, many years away. This was so exciting.
He left the best until last; we walked into a hanger where a plane – a VC10 – was being serviced and we climbed up the stairs and wandered around the inside, sat like a passenger, visited the flight deck and saw all these dials and wondered how such things could fly and marvelled at the skills of the pilots to understand all the equipment and information they were receiving.
If I close my eyes I can see John now – rond face, floppy fringe like a Beatle, in sharply creased grey trousers, blue shirt and bright tie, held by a silver tiepin, smiling up at us from the floor of the hanger. He may be holding a cigarette. Behind him the summer sun is slowly setting – it was probably about 8pm, and he is in a shadow but his expression is clear. And I'm so grateful for this treat, this otherworldly experience. I was living a fantasy I didn't even know I had.
In case it jabs or explodes.
Anxious to root them out.
The student with dreadlocks and a hippy bag.
Each as deluded as the next.
Inmate in a labour camp.

Fnatic vs G2 – LEC Match of the Week (2019 Spring)
The iconic Fnatic vs G2 takes place on March 15! Fnatic are dying to take their revenge against the team that stole their mid laner, and this might be their best chance yet. Join us for an in-depth breakdown of the ninth LEC match of the week!
Fnatic are on the rise. Their individual performances are getting better and better with every passing week, but it's the improvements to their synergy that elevate them above the rest of the playing field. And while the beginning of the split wasn't great for them, they're in a perfect spot to redeem themselves for their initial failings.
G2 Esports find themselves in the opposite situation. Their players are wavering, so mechanical errors and decision-making mistakes are becoming increasingly prevalent in their matches. To make matters worse, their macro isn't in a place where they can cover individual shortcomings, and there's a real possibility that one of their players will have to sit out week 9 of the 2019 LEC Spring Split.
Fnatic vs G2 Match Breakdown
Our Fnatic vs G2 breakdown starts with the top lane matchup. His 2.8 KDA and 7.6 CS per minute might not blow you away, but Bwipo has been killing it in the laning phase. Fnatic's top laner has fully recovered from his initial slump, and you can count on him to exert tremendous amounts of pressure in duels and splitpushing scenarios.
G2 Wunder has a similar approach to the game. Holding a 4.1 KDA and 8.6 CS per minute, he didn't have the best recent showings on Irelia and Camille, but it's hard to deny his splitpushing prowess. Combine that with his razor-sharp mechanics and veteran game sense, and even someone like Bwipo will struggle to keep up with Wunder in the laning phase.
VERDICT: G2 Wunder finds an edge in the top lane.
The jungle matchup will be exciting to follow. With a 5.0 KDA and 4.9 CS per minute, FNC Broxah has been slowly regaining his jungle dominance, and while he's not the relentless gank machine he was at Worlds 2018, you can count on him to make the right plays and find the right dives to press the leads of his laners. He's also adopted picks like Karthus and Nocturne to diversify his early-game-focused champion pool, so Fnatic have a very versatile jungler on their hands.
Meanwhile, Jankos is on a downward trend. Holding a 5.4 KDA and 5.5 CS per minute, he's been struggling to make his presence known in G2's latest matches, and his ganks aren't as explosive as they used to be. And while he still has the highest skill ceiling in the league, his current form isn't good enough to match the king of consistency that is Broxah.
VERDICT: FNC Broxah takes the lead in the jungle.
There's a clear mismatch in the mid lane. With a 6.0 KDA and 8.9 CS per minute, Nemesis found his groove on Fnatic, but he still has a long way to go before he can become the main threat of their roster. His laning, in particular, leaves a lot to be desired, and Broxah has to swing by the mid lane to cover this weakness.
This will be especially important against Caps. Sporting a 4.7 KDA and 8.6 CS per minute, G2's ace is one of the most lane-dominant mid laners in the league. He's a daring playmaker that always looks for a way to push his foes into a corner, and Nemesis will struggle to withstand this pressure.
VERDICT: G2 Caps crushes his mid lane opponent.
The Fnatic vs G2 Esports bot lane will decide the outcome of the entire series. With a 4.4 KDA and 10.6 CS per minute, Rekkles has made a name for himself as a teamfighting genius, however, he's recently been trying to put an emphasis on 2v2 skirmishing. This is a great direction for his support Hylissang (3.0 KDA), who's always had a knack for roaming and aggressive playmaking.
Things aren't as good on the G2 side of the equation. Holding a 5.7 KDA and 10.0 CS per minute, Perkz is a good laner, but he has a hard time converting his leads into teamfights and skirmishes. But the worst part is that he might not get to play with his support. Mikyx (4.1 KDA) went on the record saying that he has wrist issues, so G2 might have to replace him with a substitute. And even if they don't, it's hard to imagine Mikyx being able to give it his all when his health is on the line.
VERDICT: FNC Rekkles and Hylissang break through the bot lane.
Fnatic vs G2 LEC Match Prediction
This is close! Under normal circumstances, G2 would have a minor edge, but their support problems tip the scales in Fnatic's favor. Combine that with the recent trajectories of these teams, and we're going to have to predict a victory for Fnatic!

Ferrari has confirmed technical chief Mattia Binotto has replaced Maurizio Arrivabene as team principal.
The storylines likely to dominate F1 in 2019
Such a drastic move on the eve of the new season will inevitably raise questions about how the team's season will be affected, given that the Italian outfit seems likely to be Mercedes' closest challenger this year. But it is hardly a surprising move given the events of Ferrari's recent past.
Reports of a rift between Arrivabene and Binotto lingered throughout 2018. Arrivabene labelled these as "fake news" in November last year, but it was hardly a secret in the final months of the campaign that there was significant disharmony within the Italian team. The capitulation fans witnessed on the track seemed to mirror the mood at the team after the death of president Sergio Marchionne in July.
While much was made of Sebastian Vettel's errors last year, Arrivabene was also culpable for Ferrari's failure to win either title after a series of operational mistakes from the pit-wall which he ultimately oversaw as team boss. Italian media reports also suggested Arrivabene and Vettel's relationship had deteriorated by the end of the campaign.

Many believe Binotto has played a crucial role in the team's resurgence of the recent past. In his previous role as head of the power unit, he helped Ferrari recover from its disastrous start to the V6 turbo era and close the gap to Mercedes in terms of engine power. In 2016 he replaced James Allison as technical chief before Ferrari delivered two of its best cars in recent memory -- his 2018 challenger should have won the championship.
The most interesting question will be how the change in management styles affects the team. The abrasive Arrivabene -- who clashed with the press on numerous occasions in 2018 -- came from a marketing and sales background, having risen through the ranks of Phillip Morris, working with the F1 team through sponsorship before becoming team boss ahead of the 2015 season.
By contrast, Binotto is an engineer with over 20 years of experience with Ferrari, having risen from the role of test engineer to the highest job within the racing team. In fact, it is easy to see parallels between Binotto and Ferrari legend Ross Brawn, who came from a similar background and displayed similar leadership qualities -- Brawn helped turn Ferrari into the dominant force of the early 2000s.
Binotto will be spearheading a team also welcoming a new driver, with exciting academy product Charles Leclerc promoted to partner Sebastian Vettel this season. Leclerc's elevation proved several things: one, that Ferrari believes the Monaco native can live up to his billing as motor racing's next big thing, and two, that Vettel's position as defacto number one in the team is far from guaranteed after his capitulation in 2018. Vettel's preference was for the team to continue with good friend Kimi Raikkonen for another season.
While Leclerc is likely to be willing to play the team game, the combination of an ultra-competitive youngster alongside a multiple champion has previously been a recipe for disaster in F1, most famously demonstrated by Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso at McLaren in 2007. One of Binotto's most obvious tasks this year will be to ensure this situation never escalates into anything damaging to the team.

Given how different Ferrari will look coming into the new year, it's worth comparing that to the team it hopes to dethrone in 2019.
Mercedes' dominance of the recent era has been guided by stability. When Nico Rosberg suddenly retired after winning the 2016 title, the team signed the quiet and unassuming Valtteri Bottas when the likes of Alonso were available -- the harmony of the past two seasons between Bottas and Hamilton has vindicated that decision. While some key figures have left -- notably technical chief Paddy Lowe to Williams -- they have been quietly and efficiently replaced and the powerhouse operation has continued.
In that case, Lowe was replaced by Binotto's predecessor as technical director, James Allison, who appears to have fit seamlessly into the system below Mercedes boss Toto Wolff. It remains unclear who will fill the void left by Binotto's promotion from technical director. Binotto's challenge this year will be to replicate Wolff's effective management style while also beating the Austrian's team on the track.

Budapest has come a long way in a short time. The Iron Curtain fell just over 25 years ago, but Budapest has since emerged as one of the world's favourite city-break destinations. Hotels abound, service is excellent, vibrant festivals provide year-round celebrations, and vegetarians can finally find more than fried cheese or battered mushrooms on restaurant menus. Behind all this, though, is a history of highs and lows, the pride and anguish of a country that's faced occupation and terror but has repeatedly found the strength to pick itself up. It's a past indelibly scored on the national consciousness, and — if you reach for it — can be felt in the very bricks and mortar of the city's varied neighbourhoods, from the lofty Castle District and the grand environs of Andrássy út to the transformed Jewish Quarter.
"Man, this place has been beaten up over the years!" comments an American-sounding tourist to his girlfriend, his nose deep in a guide book. "You wouldn't know it," she replies as she gazes around the square. And she's right; it's spick and span. The neo-gothic arches of Matthias Church give way to a harlequin's hat of a roof, the patterned tiles a multicoloured celebration of the spring sunlight. Opposite, a golden dove shines impossibly bright atop Trinity Column, while the coned turrets of the Fishermen's Bastion almost glow they're so white.
The Castle District is the Budapest of picture postcards: dreamy and romantic. But looks can deceive. Looming on its hill above the Danube, the district has suffered more than 30 bruising battles through the centuries. At the end of the savage Siege of Budapest in 1945 — when Hitler ordered his troops to defend the walls to the last man in the face of Russian bombardment — only four buildings remained unscarred. Fire brought down Matthias Church's celebrated roof. There's been much blood and rubble in these streets.
Today, there's wine and music. A violinist serenades visitors while a stallholder does a roaring trade in drinks and salty snacks. The clink of cutlery on porcelain drifts from the door of Cafe Ruszwurm, just as it has since 1827. Nearby, giggling tourists peer at the under-carriage of a greening equestrian statue. "Students like to rub that, er, part of the horse for luck before exams," stutters their embarrassed guide. "I call him Golden Balls," grins Mark, my companion for the day.
Mark takes me down streets with names my English tongue struggles to pronounce. The pretty burghers' houses are monuments to resilience. Plaques record a rebellion plotted at number 53, a famous novelist born at number 19. Mark points out elaborate gothic niches set into the walls, features once lost behind plaster but revealed in the post-war clear-up.
The latest renaissance is taking place in Dísz tér, where the former Ministry of Defence building, bombed heavily in 1945, has been renovated to once again house government officials. "Fortunately, a Jamie's Italian has opened nearby, so they won't go hungry," Mark observes with heavy sarcasm. Clearly not every renaissance meets with his approval.
Andrássy út is Budapest's grand dame, its widest and straightest avenue, running out to the city's main park nearly two miles away. The road's origins were as noble as its looks. Aristocratic statesman Count Gyula Andrássy had long championed the idea of a Hungarian Champs-Élysées, a dramatic statement of a street to reflect the pride of a country on the up. And in 1876 it was inaugurated: a thoroughfare lined with neoclassical mansions for the great and the good. One writer called it 'the hope of the city, lying in the body of Budapest like the Danube within Hungary'.
He remained silent on the subject of beer bikes. As we admire a pair of marble sphinxes outside the State Opera House, we're overtaken by a stag party of eight cheering revellers on a beer bike, pedalling furiously and raising their plastic glasses of lager to pedestrians and cars alike. It's a noisy, carnivalesque little cameo — Andrássy would doubtless have called it 'a brouhaha' — and very much at odds with the formal nature of the surroundings. But the street has always made room for disruptive elements.
"The radical poet Endre Ady fell off one of those sphinxes when he was drunk, and cracked his head open," says Monika, my guide. There were several turn-of-the-century coffee shops on Andrássy út where anti-establishment literary types gathered for drinks and high jinks. "Ady died of syphilis in 1919," Monika adds pointedly. Further up the avenue, statues of four freedom fighters (against the Ottomans and then the Habsburgs) are stationed around an elegant circus of towering palaces. By contrast, the mansion at number 60 — now a chilling museum — is where enemies of the state were once tortured by the communist secret police.
Gradually, the exclusive boutiques and terraced mansion houses give way to villas with manicured gardens, before the road finally emerges into the vast sweep of chessboard paving that is Heroes' Square. "There was a huge statue of Stalin here under communism," Monika tells me. "But during the 1956 Revolution, it was pulled down and smashed to bits. Many elderly residents still have pieces of it."
In City Park behind, it's clear the spirit of rebellion still burns strong. As we round the boating lake, we reach a scattering of 10 tatty tents and a hand-scrawled sign reading 'Ligetvédők — Defenders of the Park'. "It's a protest against plans to build three new museums in the park," explains Monika. "They've been camping for a year now." "And we'll be here for another year if we have to!" declares a man with a defiantly bushy beard. Power to the people, as Count Andrássy may, or may not have said.
This bar is bonkers. In the main courtyard, three ladies chat over drinks in a roofless, rainbow-coloured Trabant. Another reads a book in a dentist's chair, while elsewhere a man settles himself in a claw-footed bathtub to eat a plate of chips. No two chairs or tables are the same. Bicycles, mannequin legs and guitars hang from the ceilings; the walls of one of the rooms are strung with coloured lights and broken computer monitors.
You wouldn't dream such an upcycled jungle lay behind nondescript front doors on a grey residential street; it's real Alice in Wonderland stuff. "Szimpla Kert is the original ruin pub," says Balázs, as we finish our beers, eyed all the while by a garden gnome. Balázs is a long-time resident of the neighbourhood and has seen several of these places come and go. "They take over empty, decaying apartment buildings, and can be quite short-lived — just a season or two. But Szimpla Kert is here to stay."
The ruin pub phenomenon typifies a creative, non-conformist energy that's transformed the Jewish Quarter recently. A neglected district has become the hottest spot in town, a hub not only for nightlife with a more bohemian flavour, but for edgy art and live music. "I can't believe how quickly the atmosphere has changed," says Balázs. "It's like Clark Kent switching to Superman."
Of course, the revival has only been possible because of the void there was to fill. In the past, Dob utca was a lively street of Jewish artisans, of watchmakers, stocking repairers, goldsmiths and engravers. Today it's lively still, but I can find only one old-fashioned craftsman — a maker of brushes, his window crowded with broom heads — among tattoo parlours, cafes and the Foxtrott Gentlemen's club.
Further up, a gold angel marks the former ghetto entrance. Budapest has a population of around 80,000 Jews, the largest in Central Europe. But there used to be so many more, before Adolf Eichmann arrived in 1944. I move past the angel into Klauzál tér, an unremarkable square with a children's playground; about 70,000 people were forced to live in this small area, ravaged by disease and malnourishment, the dead stored in fridges at Klauzál tér market until space was found to bury them.
In a memorial garden behind the Great Synagogue on Dohány utca there's a weeping willow tree made from silver, and on its leaves are the names of some of the 600,000 Jews who died in Hungary during the Holocaust. An old man stands in front of it, silent and still, staring at the metal branches. For all the current changes, this is a neighbourhood that will always remember its past.

Midland University to launch eSports as the school's 28th varsity intercollegiate program
Home to Nebraska's largest athletic department, Midland University has announced it will begin competing in its 28th varsity sport next fall, adding what is poised to become one of the fastest growing collegiate team activities. Consisting of a variety of competitive online gaming platforms, eSports match up teams of competitors representing their institutions in online competition.
"At Midland, we enable students to pursue their passions in community. The emerging generation of students is heavily invested in online pursuits, and it's our desire to see them learning and competing in a collaborative environment," said Midland University President Jody Horner. "Whether they are participating in traditional athletics, the performing arts, or emerging eSports, we find that students who are highly engaged in extracurricular activities are more successful academically."
Already home to a successful competitive gaming club program, Midland will become the region's first university to elevate eSports to varsity level competition. With the support of interested donors, Midland University will be offering scholarship opportunities as it begins recruiting for the team's debut season in the 2016-2017 academic year. In addition to scholarships, the university will offer free room and board for the fall semester to new applicants that are accepted onto the team by June 30th, 2016.
"By offering scholarships in eSports, we believe we will attract skilled competitors while expanding access to high quality education for a new generation of students," said Horner. "As employers increasingly seek graduates with technology-driven skill sets, providing students with these interests the opportunity to advance their education is becoming essential to our community."
Midland holds a unique track record when it comes to expanding extra-curricular opportunities on its residential campus. As part of its commitment to creating a comprehensive college experience, since 2009, the university has added 12 varsity sports teams, 12 junior varsity programs, and expanded to more than 250 opportunities in the performing arts.
The Warriors are anticipating competition in the Collegiate Star League for the 2016-2017 season with a varsity team competing in "League of Legends," and additional teams to be added in subsequent years. The Collegiate Star League is home to more than 200 institutions with club level teams as well as the nation's varsity level programs. The university has initiated a search for the program's first head coach and has begun accepting applications to join the new eSports program. Prospective students seeking an opportunity join the Midland eSports team should inquire via email at eSports@midlandu.edu or by calling (402) 941-6503.
"This is a rapidly emerging form of championship competition and we will pursue the same level of excellence we expect in the other 27 varsity programs we offer," said Midland University Director of Athletics Dave Gillespie. "We want to see all of our teams well coached, enhancing character, and building community."
The university has begun the design work necessary to replace the university's current gaming area with a state of the art, competitive gaming arena. The project joins other construction under way on campus as the university prepares to open a new expanded-hours eatery and coffee shop. In addition, the university has announced plans to complete more than $1 million in upgrades to its main campus dining hall that will bring farm-to-table fresh foods to university students.
Midland's move to add varsity level eSports puts the university at the leading edge of a sport that is a rapidly emerging international phenomenon. Robert Morris University in Chicago became the first university to offer eSports scholarships in 2014 and the sport's popularity has continued to accelerate, earning increasing levels of media exposure with the 2015 League of Legends World Championship final match drawing more than 36 million viewers worldwide. The sport's growth on college campuses reached a new level with the Big Ten Network televising a match between club teams from Michigan State University and Ohio State University this April.
"We've had a quality gaming team for some time, and I believe this program will take us to a new level," said Diamond 5 ranked League of Legends player and Midland student Joey Evans. "This program is great for students who excel at games, and they will have the camaraderie of their team throughout their college years."
Creation of the eSports team may have a larger impact on the Midland campus. The university is actively engaged in conversations with corporate partners that are interested in sponsoring the program as well as investing in computer science and related fields. It is anticipated the program will help fuel additional interest in the information technology fields.
The announcement is the latest in a series of successes for a university that has seen enrollment more than double in recent years amidst expanded student opportunities and the launch of a unique 4-Year Graduation Guarantee.
Midland's other varsity programs include men's and women's basketball, bowling, cross country, golf, ice hockey, shotgun sports, soccer, tennis, track & field, and wrestling. The university also offers varsity programs in cheer, dance, football, baseball, softball, volleyball and women's lacrosse.

Superyacht shake-up: Designing the 35.5 metre Benetti Botti
27 February 2019By Miranda Blazeby
Shaking up the traditional superyacht layout was the interior design gauntlet thrown down to Radyca when the studio was tasked with penning the interior of the 35.5 metre Benetti Botti. The owners specifically sought out the Miami-based firm to realise their vision for the third hull in the yard's Mediterraneo 116 series, which centred around eradicating the formality of the superyachting lifestyle.
A large family with four grown children and babies of their own, Botti's owners wanted to use the yacht exclusively for leisure and family time. There would be no formal drinks parties, no stiff boardroom meetings. Formal dining areas and offices were of no interest. Instead, the owners wanted a number of spacious lounge areas where the family could relax together with the option of being apart.
Botti was originally delivered in May 2018 and is the third model in the Mediterraneo 116 series
Lead designer Ramon Alonso explained: "We wanted to create a very relaxing and warm environment by reconsidering the traditional layout and staying away from formalities." As a result, Radyca shook up the traditional interior superyacht configuration. The entire lower deck was transformed into an entertainment space comprising a lounge area, cinema and sitting room.
The sole dining area, meanwhile, was relocated to the upper deck where it is semi-covered from the elements. The accommodation quarters, which traditionally sit on the lower deck, were grouped together on the main deck. Alonso complimented the owners for being bold enough to mix up the traditional layout. "It's a different way to use a boat and it creates a very interesting flow that is different from boats of this size," he said.
The entire lower deck was transformed into an entertainment and family area
Rethinking the traditional interior layout was the most challenging aspect of the design brief, Alonso admitted, but luckily he was already well attuned to the owners' tastes. Radyca had previously designed the interior of another of the family's yachts, a Monte Carlo 105, in collaboration with Nuvolari Lenard. Radyca also worked on a number of the same owner's residential projects, from offices to airplanes. "We have a good idea of what the client likes," Alonso explained. "Every single project of theirs has a particular ambiance."
To achieve this ambiance, Alonso mingled a selection of soft lighting, fine fabrics and warm coloured woodwork. Fewer materials were chosen and used instead in a number of different ways. "We wanted to keep the boat very clean in terms of furnishings," Alonso explained. A notable example is the contrasting woods used throughout the interior. Alonso's decision to "apply them in different ways" created "different tones and textures throughout the boat," he said.
Soft lighting, fine fabrics and warm coloured woodwork were chosen to create a convivial atmosphere on board
Contrasting black and white marble was used in the same vein to "make areas feel more spacious", while a drinks bar made of resin created a unique sculpture that "welcomes guests on board." As well as marble and woodwork, Alonso employed prevalent use of leather, which was crucial in achieving the high end finish he was after. "The use of leather is very important because it provides a sense of luxury with just the smell – it engages the senses," Alonso said. The remaining materials centre around "earthy, neutral tones" with a few "touches of greens and blues to keep it informal." These subtle tones do well to accentuate the owners' bold artwork choices, which include an original Warhol. "They have a particular taste when it comes to art," Alonso said. "They like a lot of pop art."
The bow area is one of the favourite spots on board
Alonso's favourite space on board, for versatility alone, is the bow area. Here the owners can enjoy "relaxing, entertaining, sunbathing and having informal bites." Equipped with a Jacuzzi, it is as appropriate for family gatherings as it is for escaping the hustle and bustle of the marina. "When you're docked, it's a great private place and is generally one of the best places on board," Alonso said.
His favourite thing about the boat, however, are the owners themselves. "They are an amazing family and fun to work with. I have been working for this family since I was very young and they've always given me the opportunity to participate in many different projects."

The top target remaining on Texas' recruiting board is Lake Travis wide receiver Garrett Wilson. The four-star prospect is the No. 7-ranked player on the Fabulous 55 and his stock is continuing to rise during the offseason with dominating performances at elite camps and club 7-on-7 tournaments across the nation.
Wilson is considered one of the best wide receivers in the nation and the best player to come from the Austin-area in many years.
The Columbus-native is considering Texas and Ohio State. He took an official visit to Columbus this weekend and the rumors of an imminent commitment to the Buckeyes began. Not true, says Garrett.
That will change this weekend when Wilson is the headline visitor on the weekend of the Orange-White spring game.


When every major U.S. carrier has been making deals with BlackBerry for carrying the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone, Sprint was probably making other plans because it avoided this opportunity. Maybe this turned out to be a smart move because the success of this device on the market hasn't met the users' expectations. Sprint wants to make up for this situation, announcing that BlackBerry Q10 will be available through its network. This QWERTY device will go on sale officially on August 30 and it will cost you $199 with 2-year contract attached to it.
Sprint might be late with this release because BB Q10 is already available at AT&T for two months now for the same price. We were predicting that this price will be reduced by now but AT&T's site says otherwise. This company has reduced the price of BlackBerry's Z10 smartphone to $100 and it's only a matter of time when we will see the Q10's price reduced. Maybe this will happen few days from now because the arrival of this phone to Sprint will force AT&T to cut the price.
However, Sprint and AT&T are not the carriers with the best offer for this phone. T-Mobile tops them offering it for $0 up front while adding $25 a month to your plan for this phone. It's really tough for other carriers to beat this plan because people have a better option instead bonding to a 2-year contract.
What will you get if you decide to buy the BlackBerry Q10 phone? – The biggest advantage of this phone is the QWERTY keyboard which is rarely seen among smartphones these days. Above the keyboard, there is a 3.1-inch display with touch-screen feature that offers 720 x 720p resolution. This phone comes with an 8-mpix rear camera. Under the hood, there is a dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz alongside 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage capacity.
Maybe Sprint was late bringing this BlackBerry smartphone but they won't pass the chance to avoid carrying the next touchscreen device coming from this company. This carrier already signed up for the next device that will come out as BlackBerry A10, Z30 or Aristo. If this rumored device happens to be true, we could see this phone revealed in late September and Sprint selling it in early November. Until then, you need to get ready for BlackBerry Q10's arrival to Sprint on August 30.
Are you excited about the arrival of this phone on to Sprint? – Share your answers in the comments section below.


EDINBURGH tram inquiry chairman Lord Hardie issued a deadline to the city council over potential conflicts of interest at yesterday's first hearing into the fiasco.
The former judge opened the long-awaited preliminary session by announcing that his officials were now grappling with six million project documents - up from the previous 5m.
These are being sifted using special software from an estimated original 500 million items related to the project's delays and cost overruns.
The eight-mile line between Edinburgh Airport and York Place in the city centre, which opened last year, was also a fraction of that originally planned.
Lord Hardie could not say when the first witnesses would be called to give evidence.
He said: "The technology is there to assist but there are still vast numbers of document that have to be reviewed and analysed by members of the team.
Lord Hardie also named seven "core participants" who will play a central role in the inquiry, which will look at why the £776 million project was completed three years late and millions of pounds over budget.
They are the council, building contractors Bilfinger Berger and Siemens, utility diversion firm Carillion, designers Parsons Brinckerhoff, law firm DLA Piper, which represented various parties, and Scottish ministers.
The council's tram development firm Tie (the former Transport Initiatives Edinburgh), which was at the heart of the project, will not be among them, with the council representing it at the inquiry.
However, Lord Hardie said there appeared to be "clear scope for a conflict of interest" between the council and Tie because Tie was suing its former solicitors, and the council was suing Tie, in separate cases at the Court of Session.
During the two-hour hearing, he questioned whether councillors had been aware of this when they agreed in August to Tie not being represented separately.
Lord Hardie set a deadline of 27 November for the council to set out any potential conflict of interests. Other core participants will have to do the same.
Council chief executive Andrew Kerr said after the hearing: "In August, the council decided it was not willing to fund the revival of Tie to take part as a core participant in the inquiry, and this still stands.
The council said Tie was "dormant", with council finance director Hugh Dunn its sole remaining director, which was a legal requirement of the company still existing.
The hearing was postponed from August because Lord Hardie was ill, and comes 16 months after the inquiry was announced by the Scottish Government.

Palladino: Giants' Victor Cruz Should Sign On The Dotted Line … Now
If WR Doesn't Sign Soon, He'll Be Doing Himself And Team A Disservice May 8, 2013 at 7:05 am

John Mara doesn't miss very often. So when he tells the NFL Network that he's confident a long-term deal will get done with Victor Cruz before training camp, you can take some stock in that.
Ideally, though, it would be better to get this done sooner than later. The offseason conditioning program, a time when quarterbacks and receivers can hone their on-field rapport and get on the same page in a relatively pressure-free environment, started on April 15, and Cruz was nowhere in sight.
He's still the invisible man, even though the time for hunting around for better offers ended for Cruz with the April 19 offer-sheet deadline. His restricted free-agent tender of $2.879 million remains unsigned, and now he's busy haggling with no leverage save for an extended absence and, ultimately, damage to his reputation and potential production.
All the Giants can do is keep working with Cruz' new reps at CAA and hope the kid takes the approximately $8 million per year they're offering, a gig that comes with between $15 million and $18 million worth of guaranteed greenery.
Cruz, of course, is holding out for around $10 million per year. In keeping with the way these things usually go, Cruz — or at least his agents — are overpricing him right now. As dynamic and popular as the kid is, he's had exactly two years of productivity in the NFL. Good productivity, granted. And there's no saying that those reception numbers won't go up in the succeeding years assuming he stays healthy.
But if Cruz doesn't have a deal in time for an on-time arrival for training camp, he'll be doing himself and the Giants a disservice. This is the team that gave the undrafted free agent his shot in the preseason of 2010, and stuck with him after a hamstring injury derailed his rookie season after three games.
He has since become a Pro Bowler, but he risks a down season with a prolonged absence.
Given the Giants' receiver situation — Hakeem Nicks is coming off an injury-marred season, Domenik Hixon has run off to Carolina and Martellus Bennett is now a Bear — Cruz must be considered the unquestioned leader of a group that is looking for bigger numbers from Rueben Randle and Jerrel Jernigan. And it's always bad when a leader doesn't make himself available during each and every team activity.
The advantage right now is that whatever Cruz misses in the offseason program can easily be made up come training camp. It's the prospect of this thing lingering until August that should have management worried.
But it apparently doesn't. General manager Jerry Reese appears to be sitting tight on his offer. Mara, always salary-cap conscious, said Tuesday that he expects Cruz and his agent to come to their senses sooner than later. After all, what the Giants are offering is a vast amount compared to the $490,000 he earned in the final season of his rookie contract in 2012.
It's his right to look for more money. But it's Cruz's duty to sign a new deal — one that will make him a genuinely rich man even if it doesn't top the NFL salary charts — in due time.
The next three months are going to fly by. Getting their star wide receiver under contract sooner rather than later will only benefit the Giants, and take the heat off a kid whose public statements indicate that he wants nothing more than to stick with New York anyway.
He should sign on the dotted line.
