We call the .ovpn file that contains the required configuration settings and certificates a connection profile and also simply a configuration file sometimes. It is a text file that contains as mentioned all the directives and parameters as well as the certificates that are required for a compatible OpenVPN client to establish a connection to the Access Server. Put simply you can install any compatible OpenVPN client program and provide it with a connection profile and the program should then be able to make a connection, assuming everything else is set up correctly. This is different from the older type of configuration files originally used in the open source OpenVPN program, which has a separate client.conf file and a set of separate certificate files which are referenced from the client.conf. However, Access Server does support creating both types.
You'll note that there is no server-locked profile separated files option. That is because the server-locked profile only works with the OpenVPN Connect Client for Windows and Macintosh, and not with open source based OpenVPN clients. For those client programs you will need one of the other 4 options. A server-locked profile is designed to work with Connect Client only and only contains information on how to contact the web services of the Access Server. When a user starts a connection with a server-locked profile, the client talks to the XML-RPC web interface of the Access Server over a secure channel (SSL/TLS) to negotiate for a user-locked profile to start an OpenVPN connection, and deletes this user-locked profile from the client computer after disconnecting. A user-locked profile contains the required settings and certificates to make a connection to the Access Server's OpenVPN daemon, and requires that the user supplies credentials. An auto-login type profile contains the same as a user-locked profile except it doesn't require the user to enter any credentials. The certificates embedded in the connection profile are proof of identity enough for the server to allow a connection to establish. The auto-login type connection profile is best suited for unattended VPN connections like for routers and servers.
As you may notice the Get5 function of sacli uses _AUTOLOGIN after the user name to specify that we want an auto-login type profile. This is a pseudo name to indicate that for the specific user we want his auto-login connection profile. To clarify its use, if your user name is for example "johan" and you want the auto-login connection profile for this user as separate files, then as user name enter simply "johan_AUTOLOGIN" in the above command. Note that double quotes around user and group names and other parameters are generally recommended especially if there are spaces in the given parameters.
Using a sacli function that generates auto-login type connection profiles requires that the user does actually have the privilege to use an auto-login connection profile. This privilege must either be granted to the user directly, or inherited from the group this user belongs to (if any), or it has to be inherited from the __DEFAULT__ special keyword user account. The default for a standard Access Server is that this privilege is denied.
When you use the Get5 function it needs a folder to output the separate files. With the parameter -o ./ we indicate that the output directory must be the directory we're in now. You can also specify another directory but it must be an existing directory. The function Get5 is called this way because it generates 5 separate files. But if you disable TLS authentication then you will have only 4 files.
There is a more extensive guide available that explains how to get separate certificate files using the Get5 function from the Access Server and onto your computer.
It is possible to create OpenVPN Connect Client setup files for Macintosh and Windows from the command line of the Access Server that come preconfigured with one of the three types of connection profiles (server-locked, user-locked, or autologin). These installers can then be distributed to the users directly and then they need only install it. This is a suitable alternative if for example you decide not to use the CWS (Client Web Service) to allow users to download these files by themselves. A downside to this is that you as administrator have to generate the files and distribute. Also, if the CWS is not reachable from a VPN client computer system, the server-locked type profiles will not function, as these depend on the web services being reachable. Only user-locked profiles and auto-login profiles will then work.
When you use the GetGenericInstaller or GetInstallerEx functions it needs a folder to output the generated setup file. With the parameter -o ./ we indicate that the output directory must be the directory we're in now. You can also specify another directory but it must be an existing directory.
When the security of a client device or connection profile is compromised, for example if a computer is stolen or the connection profile is accidentally lost or otherwise no longer secure, you can revoke this user's certificate from the Access Server. This makes the existing connection profile completely unusable. At such a point, the user must obtain a fresh new copy of the connection profile from the Access Server. The Access Server will automatically generate a completely unique and new connection profile once this user logs in after you've revoked the user's certificate. In the Admin UI revoking a user certificate can be done via "Revoke Certificates".
The RevokeCert function of sacli uses _AUTOLOGIN after the user name to specify that we want an auto-login type profile. This is a pseudo name to indicate that for the specific user we want to revoke the auto-login certificate. To clarify its use, if your user name is for example "johan" and you want to revoke the auto-login certificate for this user, then as user name enter simply "johan_AUTOLOGIN" in the above command. Note that double quotes around user and group names and other parameters are generally recommended especially if there are spaces in the given parameters.
It is important to note here that revoking a certificate alone does not disconnect any currently active OpenVPN tunnels for that user. So while a user is connected to the OpenVPN Access Server with an active VPN tunnel, and you revoke that user's certificates, the connection will still remain up and functional. This is because the processes in memory are handling the encryption/decryption process. There is a separate command to kick a user off the VPN server, with or without a message, and with or without an invitation to reconnect by itself. The function DisconnectUser can be used for that.
When the user next logs on to the web interface to obtain a new copy of the connection profile or an OpenVPN Connect Client installer, or when you use the CLI to do the same, then the Access Server will automatically generate new and unique certificates for this user. If you don't want automatic (re)generation of certificates you can disable the prop_autogenerate property.

Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation
by Bill Nye (Author), Corey S. Powell (Editor)
The New York Times best seller by the host of Bill Nye the Science Guy, with a brand new chapter for the paperback edition! "Evolution is one of the most powerful and important ideas ever developed in the history of science. Every question it raises leads to new answers, new discoveries, and new smarter questions. The science of evolution is as expansive as nature itself. It is also the most meaningful creation story that humans have ever found."-Bill Nye Sparked by a controversial debate in February 2014, Bill Nye has set off on an energetic campaign to spread awareness of evolution and the powerful way it shapes our lives. In Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation, he explains why race does not really exist; evaluates the true promise and peril of genetically modified food; reveals how new species are born, in a dog kennel and in a London subway; takes a stroll through 4.5 billion years of time; and explores the new search for alien life, including aliens right here on Earth.
With infectious enthusiasm, Bill Nye shows that evolution is much more than a rebuttal to creationism; it is an essential way to understand how nature works-and to change the world. It might also help you get a date on a Saturday night.
Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology
by Johnjoe McFadden
New York Times Bestseller and an Amazon Best Science Book of 2015
Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how did it come to be? Even in an age of cloning and artificial biology, the remarkable truth remains: nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we still missing a vital ingredient in its creation?
Like Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene, which provided a new perspective on how evolution works, Life on the Edge alters our understanding of our world's fundamental dynamics. Bringing together first-hand experience at the cutting edge of science with unparalleled gifts of explanation, Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal that missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics; the phenomena that lie at the heart of this most mysterious of sciences.
Drawing on recent ground-breaking experiments around the world, each chapter in Life on the Edge engages by illustrating one of life's puzzles: How do migrating birds know where to go? How do we really smell the scent of a rose? How do our genes copy themselves with such precision? Life on the Edge accessibly reveals how quantum mechanics can answer these probing questions of the universe.
Guiding the reader through the rapidly unfolding discoveries of the last few years, Al-Khalili and McFadden communicate the excitement of the explosive new field of quantum biology and its potentially revolutionary applications, while offering insights into the biggest puzzle of all: what is life? As they brilliantly demonstrate in these groundbreaking pages, life exists on the quantum edge.

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
A Summer Reading Pick for President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg
From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity's creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human."
One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?
Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.
Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become?
Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.

The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics
by Leonard Susskind
At the beginning of the 21st century, physics is being driven to very unfamiliar territory--the domain of the incredibly small and the incredibly heavy. The new world is a world in which both quantum mechanics and gravity are equally important. But mysteries remain. One of the biggest involved black holes. Famed physicist Stephen Hawking claimed that anything sucked in a black hole was lost forever. For three decades, Leonard Susskind and Hawking clashed over the answer to this problem. Finally, in 2004, Hawking conceded.
THE BLACK HOLE WAR will explain the mind-blowing science that finally won out, and the emergence of a new paradigm that argues the world--this catalog, your home, your breakfast, you--is actually a hologram projected from the edges of space.
The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion
by Robert Spence
Muhammad: a frank look at his influential (and violent) life and teachings
In The Truth about Muhammad, New York Times bestselling author and Islam expert Robert Spencer offers an honest and telling portrait of the founder of Islam-perhaps the first such portrait in half a century-unbounded by fear and political correctness, unflinching, and willing to face the hard facts about Muhammad's life that continue to affect our world today.
From Muhammad's first "revelation" from Allah (which filled him with terror that he was demonpossessed) to his deathbed (from which he called down curses upon Jews and Christians), it's all here-told with extensive documentation from the sources that Muslims themselves consider most reliable about Muhammad.
Spencer details Muhammad's development from a preacher of hellfire and damnation into a political and military leader who expanded his rule by force of arms, promising his warriors luridly physical delights in Paradise if they were killed in his cause. He explains how the Qur'an's teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed-with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage.
Spencer also gives the truth about Muhammad's convenient "revelations" justifying his own licentiousness; his joy in the brutal murders of his enemies; and above all, his clear marching orders to his followers to convert non-Muslims to Islam-or force them to live as inferiors under Islamic rule.
In The Truth about Muhammad, you'll learn
- The truth about Muhammad's multiple marriages (including one to a nine-year-old) - How Muhammad set legal standards that make it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries - How Muhammad's example justifies jihad and terrorism - The real "Satanic verses" incident (not the Salman Rushdie version) that remains a scandal to Muslims - How Muhammad's faulty knowledge of Judaism and Christianity has influenced Islamic theology--and colored Muslim relations with Jews and Christians to this day.
Recognizing the true nature of Islam, Spencer argues, is essential for judging the prospects for largescale Islamic reform, the effective prosecution of the War on Terror, the democracy project in Afghanistan and Iraq, and immigration and border control to protect the United States from terrorism.
All of which makes it crucial for every citizen (and policymaker) who loves freedom to read and ponder The Truth about Muhammad
The Golden Ratio: The Story of PHI, the World's Most Astonishing Number
by Mario Livio
Throughout history, thinkers from mathematicians to theologians have pondered the mysterious relationship between numbers and the nature of reality. In this fascinating book, Mario Livio tells the tale of a number at the heart of that mystery: phi, or 1.6180339887...This curious mathematical relationship, widely known as "The Golden Ratio," was discovered by Euclid more than two thousand years ago because of its crucial role in the construction of the pentagram, to which magical properties had been attributed. Since then it has shown a propensity to appear in the most astonishing variety of places, from mollusk shells, sunflower florets, and rose petals to the shape of the galaxy. Psychological studies have investigated whether the Golden Ratio is the most aesthetically pleasing proportion extant, and it has been asserted that the creators of the Pyramids and the Parthenon employed it. It is believed to feature in works of art from Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa to Salvador Dali's The Sacrament of the Last Supper, and poets and composers have used it in their works. It has even been found to be connected to the behavior of the stock market!
The Golden Ratio is a captivating journey through art and architecture, botany and biology, physics and mathematics. It tells the human story of numerous phi-fixated individuals, including the followers of Pythagoras who believed that this proportion revealed the hand of God; astronomer Johannes Kepler, who saw phi as the greatest treasure of geometry; such Renaissance thinkers as mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci of Pisa; and such masters of the modern world as Goethe, Cezanne, Bartok, and physicist Roger Penrose. Wherever his quest for the meaning of phi takes him, Mario Livio reveals the world as a place where order, beauty, and eternal mystery will always coexist.
Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness 2nd Edition
by Bruce Rosenblum (Author), Fred Kuttner (Author)
In trying to understand the atom, physicists built quantum mechanics, the most successful theory in science and the basis of one-third of our economy. They found, to their embarrassment, that with their theory, physics encounters consciousness. Authors Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner explain all this in non-technical terms with help from some fanciful stories and anecdotes about the theory's developers. They present the quantum mystery honestly, emphasizing what is and what is not speculation. Quantum Enigma's description of the experimental quantum facts, and the quantum theory explaining them, is undisputed. Interpreting what it all means, however, is heatedly controversial. But every interpretation of quantum physics involves consciousness. Rosenblum and Kuttner therefore turn to exploring consciousness itself--and encounter quantum mechanics. Free will and anthropic principles become crucial issues, and the connection of consciousness with the cosmos suggested by some leading quantum cosmologists is mind-blowing. Readers are brought to a boundary where the particular expertise of physicists is no longer the only sure guide. They will find, instead, the facts and hints provided by quantum mechanics and the ability to speculate for themselves.
In the few decades since the Bell's theorem experiments established the existence of entanglement (Einstein's "spooky action"), interest in the foundations, and the mysteries, of quantum mechanics has accelerated. In recent years, physicists, philosophers, computer engineers, and even biologists have expanded our realization of the significance of quantum phenomena. This second edition includes such advances. The authors have also drawn on many responses from readers and instructors to improve the clarity of the book's explanations.

New Strategies for Chemical Synthesis via Frustrated Molecules (GTA 20 PUL)
Dr A Pulis
Dr A Stuart
Like building a house from bricks and mortar, molecular synthesis is the construction of new chemical entities from other molecules. Molecular construction methods that use gases as building blocks are important: plants convert carbon dioxide gas into sugar, and when performed by us, it supplies important molecules, such as the materials in your phone and lifesaving medicines. Due to its universal applications, the discovery of greener and more sustainable molecular construction methods is essential.
However, in order to use gases in synthesis, they must first be activated. For example, in the case of activation of hydrogen gas, current methods generally exploit precious metals that are generally toxic, costly, have high environmental impact, and are poorly available.
Dr. Pulis' research explores the fascinating and wide-ranging reactivity of main group elements, such as carbon, boron and sulfur, and applies this new knowledge to address fundamental challenges in chemical synthesis.
In line with this vision, and to avoid the use of precious metals in important chemical processes, this PhD project will explore the use of readily available, non-toxic, non-metallic carbon-based molecules (organocatalysts) to facilitate the activation of gas molecules. For example, using hydrogen-bonding – the same interaction between molecules that causes honey to be sticky – these organocatalysts will be used to form frustrated molecules, where the frustration will be channelled towards the activation of gases.
The successful candidate will synthesise new organocatalysts and explore their reactivity in a variety of reactions. You will trial effective catalysts in applications that would eliminate precious metals from key industrial processes, and in reactions that were previously thought impossible.
Therefore, this PhD project will provide a much needed, more sustainable approach to chemical synthesis with gases. It will reduce our reliance on precious metals in key industrial processes and, as in nature, will allow the waste gas carbon dioxide to become a useful building block in molecular construction.
This exciting project borders the traditional realms of organic and inorganic synthesis and therefore a successful candidate will receive high level training in a broad mix of topics and techniques. This will include knowledge of novel reactivity, such as the emerging field of frustrated molecules (frustrated Lewis pairs), and in the application of supramolecular interactions (e.g. hydrogen bonds), a topic that underpins the fundamental principles of two Nobel prizes in Chemistry.
You will gain hands-on-experience with catalysis, reaction design, air and moisture sensitive reactions, and modern analytical techniques using state-of-the-art equipment (multinuclear NMR, mass spectrometry, chromatography), in addition to acquiring skills in project management and scientific publication.
After completion of the PhD programme, you will be armed with the skills and knowledge to forge a successful career in, for example, academic or industrial research.

Hey telletran - Welcome to DIYC!
If you are set on the 595 I believe the admin here, Macrosill (Brian) might still have some boards for sale - see this thread: http://doityourselfchristmas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3340 starting on page 3. Just PM him for details - he also posted the BOM (parts list) that you can import into the mouser.com's BOM tool and it will do all the selection/math for you.
I would suggest that you look through the HW section in the Wiki first however to be sure that's what you want. There are the newer Renard series including the Ren 8/16/24 SS series from Wayne J (boards are available from him) and the Ren24 from fkostyun (Frank).
Feel free to ask any questions you may have - I'm sure someone will answer you right away.
Renard - Dimming capability, a variety of channel sizes, with on-board and external SSR's.
Firegod & Helix boards, dimming capability, Helix can be standalone once programmed.
I may have missed something, this is an ever changing place with new designs popping up.
All of these boards are available ready to add parts and solder, there is a link 'somewhere' I can't find of who has what boards available.
wjohn, fkostyun, waynej, and macrosil (DIYC admin) all have various boards available.
All I can suggest is read, ask questions, and read some more. LOTS of info/help here.
I started with a home-etched 595, wanted dimming and moved to a Renard64, and added Renard24's for more channels.
Welcome aboard, get a move on, it's January and you need to get planning for Christmas 2010!!
I ordered 3 - 595 boards this weekend but now you guys have me thinking that may be to old school. I dont want to get in over my head and have to give up my new blinking hobby.
Whats this nonsense about a cure? a cure for what?
And there IS a cure for that... "1-888, Hellow Paul, I need more lights!"
Your 595's are a good investment and you absolutely shold not give up on them. I have 4 of them and they're just great workhorses. They can work in their native "on/off only, no-dimming" mode, or with the addition of a Ren-C board (about $25 to build) they become "Renard" boards will full dimming capability.
As far as "old school" goes, remember that there are essentially only two states of a light: either on or off. All the "newest" lighting tools merely use different mechanisms for managing this binary state or compact their electronics into smaller packages. And smaller isn't always better.
Then again on the same topic I'm also scrapping my stripboard 595's this year and replacing them with ren 64 XB's. It's not the 595's that are an issue, but they way the boards and stripboard SSR's were built that will make them almost impossible to strip down and then rebuild them into a new enclosure.
The attached pic actually shows one of the first ever 595's in the hands of Peter Olsen, and yeah the other guy is me.
Cool, you got to meet THE Peter Olsen... I always admired the two videos of his show at www.computerchristmas.com.
Tony, besides the meeting, there was one other really cool thing I brought back with me - The star from the top of his tree! I used it on the top of my megatree in 2009, and it will be used there again in 2010. I have considered restringing the star with LED ropelight, but dont know if that will "ruin" it as a historical piece of hardware.
The lights, wires and clips are showing some reasonable degredation due to temperature and UV damage, so they will probably only last 1 more season before needing to be replaced anyway. A coat of paint and replacement of the bulbs with LED's should still be ok I think.

Harry Potter's Bonnie Wright 'not fazed' by age of nightclub boyfriend
English actress, model, screenwriter and producer
Best known for playing the role of Ginny Weasley in "Harry Potter" franchise
Starred in the 2013 theatre play "The Moment of Truth"
Bonnie Wright was recently spotted walking into the Chiltern Firehouse with her boyfriend, night club owner Simon Hammerstein and the picture of the two of them together has created conversation among fans about the age difference that exists in their relationship and also brought attention to her upcoming projects.

The Harry Potter alum is 23 years old and her boyfriend, owner of arguably one of the most popular night clubs in England, 'The Box' in Soho is 35 years old.
The actress stated in interviews that no one comments on their age difference and in her view "at every age you're a different person but she has worked for so long that ... everyone's at different stages."
Bonnie Wright looking gorgeous on red carpet
Bonnie Wright is known as an actress whose maturity and performances have been beyond her years and that might be part of the reason they get along so well. She enjoys the fact that he respects the arts and they talk about everything.
From the smile on her face as they entered the Chiltern Firehouse it was apparent that she enjoys spending time with the night club owner.
The actress has stayed very busy since the completion of the Harry Potter franchise both in front of the camera and also behind it. She has directed the music video "Dreaming" with actress Sophie Lowe and the video "Sea Ess" for musician George Schuster.
In 2013 starred in films such as "After the Dark" and "Before I Sleep" and will next be seen on the big screen in the comedy "Those Who Wander".
Bonnie Wright is pushing forward with her career in the manner of a seasoned professional which at the age of 23 she actually is since she has been acting for over 13 years in movies. For this actress, age really is just a number and one that she does not pay much attention to.

The leader of the Vote Leave campaign has repaid a £50,000 charitable grant after he was found to have used the money to produce a highly political 1,000-page anti-EU dossier.
Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the official pro-Brexit campaign in last June's referendum, used a grant from a charity he had set up to fund a high-profile campaign report called Change or Go – How Britain Would Gain Influence and Prosper Outside an Unreformed EU.
The repayment follows concerns raised with the Charity Commission that the Politics and Economics Research Trust (PERT), set up by Elliott in 2006, should not be supporting groups to undertake research that takes a political position on a contested topic like EU membership.
PERT is constituted as an educational charity and it benefits from tax relief on donations. Over the past five years it has given most of its grants – more than £2m – to anti-EU campaign groups run by Elliott including Business for Britain, which published Change or Go, and the TaxPayers' Alliance. Elliot stepped down as secretary of PERT in 2010.
Its trustees have included several leading Eurosceptics including the retail millionaire and Labour donor John Mills, the Conservative party donor Patrick Barbour and the former Ukip leader Lord Pearson. Its financial backers are not made public.
The Charity Commission asked to review research funded by PERT after the Labour MP Emma Reynolds complained the charity "has been engaging in day-to-day political activity". She asked the regulator to "confirm whether its conduct is in contravention of the law".
The Charity Commission found PERT "did not have processes to monitor research projects the charity had funded" and that this "was a regulatory concern, as the trustees could not be certain that its funding was being used solely to further its objects".
Change or Go was published in June 2015, before David Cameron's attempts to renegotiate UK membership of the EU. It argued that "leaving would not entail a loss of British influence on the world stage".
The research formed the basis of a front-page news report in the pro-Brexit Daily Telegraph but PERT did not appear to have any concerns that its grant was not being used in line with its educational objectives until several months later.
"It was only following our request to review the research reports funded by the charity in December 2015 that the trustees reviewed this report and asked for the funding to be returned," the commission said.
PERT's latest annual report states the money was repaid in 2016 "after mutual agreement that the project has materially altered in the course of its execution".
A previous Charity Commission inquiry into PERT in 2011 warned its reputation risked being damaged if it did not properly manage its relationship with another of Elliott's campaign groups, the TaxPayers' Alliance.

Historical and current Florida Keys Shipwreck Information and images for scuba divers, fisherman and marine historians.
The Divers Guide to Shipwrecks around the State of Florida and the Florida Keys. Includes over 240 illustrations comprised of 151 color photos, 83 black and white historical images, 8 dynamic u/w sketches.
Located in the upper keys on a grass sea bed are the remains of the Herrera. Time has reduced this wreckage to only a ballast pile. The Herrera was one of 22 ships carrying a total of 20,000,000 pesos in Mexican silver under the command of General de Torres sailing from Havana. Although on July 14, Captain Torres sensed the danger of a hurricane and ordered his ships to change course, his effort was made too late. The hurricane that was so feared by the fleet gained on the ships and sent the whole armada westward against the Florida Keys. The merchant nao Herrera was stranded on the inshore edge of Hawk Channel on July 15, 1733.
Today the Herrera sits in 18 feet of water, two and a half miles south of Snake Creek Bridge in Hawks Channel. Among the items recovered from this wreck are cannon balls, pottery shards, clay bowls, animal hides and hundreds of small clay animals; hence the wreck is also known as the Figurine Wreck.
Basic shipwreck information and images for this section of this site was taken with permission from the book Florida Shipwrecks by Daniel Berg. You are invited to submit your shipwreck related articles, images and information. As long as the text, photographs, sketches etc are of professional quality we will showcase them. Full credit will be provided and a same page link to your web site can be arranged.
By Dan and Denise Berg, 180 pages. Shipwrecks are an important complement to the natural coral reefs as a sport diving attraction in Florida. From the barley discernable ballast piles of the 1733 fleet to the almost perfectly intact modern ships sunk specifically as artificial reefs throughout the state, shipwrecks inspire an aura of mystery and fascination. Florida Shipwrecks is the most comprehensive, accurate, illustrated collection of information, photographs, sketches and stories ever written about the shipwrecks around the state of Florida. This downloadable ebook contains a wealth of enlightening information that gives the readers a nostalgic glimpse into the history and present condition of over 235 shipwrecks. Florida Shipwrecks includes over 240 illustrations comprised of 151 color photos, 83 black and white historical images, 8 dynamic u/w sketches. Divers , snorkelers, marine historians, armchair sailors or anyone with a general interest in history diving or the sea will surely find this ebook fascinating, as well as indispensable.


The Eagles girls basketball team went to the Final Four last year and came away with a pair of losses and plenty of good memories and experience.
Now they want to get back to Mizzou Arena and win the championship.
The Eagles (23-5) will have to take a different road this year – tougher than last season. SoBoCo plays Licking (23-5) tonight in Rolla.
A win at Sectionals would likely pit the Eagles against the reigning state champions, the Strafford Indians (29-0) in Springfield on Saturday. The Indians defeated the Eagles in January.
The Eagles boys (25-3) will face a tough Mountain Grove team (26-2) in Rolla tonight. Mountain Grove placed third at last year's Final Four.
If the Eagles get past the Sectional round, they would advance to the quarter-finals in Springfield on Saturday where they would face the winner of the Fair Grove (23-5) vs Lamar (22-4) Sectional game.
SoBoCo is one of six schools to be sending both boys and girls teams to Class 3 Sectionals. Other schools who won "dual district titles" include: Central Park Hill, Lawson, Saxony Lutheran, Whitfield and Cardinal Ritter.


Several companies reckon cloud-based gaming is only a matter of time.
Despite the efforts of services like Sony's Playstation Now, nobody's yet nailed the 'Netflix of games' blue sky proposal. However, major publishers like EA, Activision Blizzard, and Ubisoft are confident that subscription and cloud-based gaming services will find a large audience one day, and may even become the premier way to play games.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson discussed the future of subscription and streaming services—that is, services which render games remotely and stream them to your local device over the internet—during the company's recent earnings call.
"There was a lot of conversation on Origin Access Premier, and from a gamer standpoint, the feedback was very, very positive in terms of the opportunity to access more great games at great value with reduced friction," said Wilson. "And we expect that will be a big plus for gamers over time, and like all subscription businesses will take time to build. But we believe in the long-term potential of that, as we've seen to be true with linear-based media like TV, movies, and music."
Origin Access Premier, EA's upgraded subscription service, launched three days ago. For $15 per month or $100 per year, the service provides unlimited access to Origin's catalog of games, including all of EA's new releases to come ("frontline games" in marketing speak) such as Battlefield 5 and Anthem. But for now, you're still downloading them to your PC to be run locally.
"We're starting with subscription and we're leading from there and investing in streaming over the long-term," said Wilson. "My sense is that as we're able to engage players for longer with greater value at lower friction, we'll see continued uptake in participation in services like this."
EA is hardly alone in this view. "With time, I think streaming will become more accessible to many players and make it not necessary to have big hardware at home," said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot during an E3 2018 interview with Variety.
Guillemot described streaming services as a way to bring its games to platforms like mobile phones and televisions and, ultimately, as the feature to replace consoles. But given the prevalence of digital platforms like Uplay, Origin, and Battle.net, it's not hard to imagine a future where streaming is pushed on PC as well. Plus, as Guillemot told Variety, "there are quite a few people that are working on streaming, like Nvidia."
Activision Blizzard held its own earnings call earlier today and also weighed in on streaming services. "Over the long-term, we think cloud-based gaming and streaming is a very strong positive for the industry, and particularly for us," said COO Coddy Johnson.
"First, it has the potential to significantly expand the reach of our big-screen experiences to audiences that don't have a console, and in some cases don't have a PC depending on the streaming system you're talking about. Second, even for existing gamers, streaming systems should be able to provide more easily accessible experiences, reducing friction and enabling deeper and ongoing engagement throughout the day as the content is more available. And third, we think we in particular are well-placed to take advantage of streaming and cloud-based gaming when it comes."
Johnson said that Activision Blizzard is "in dialogue" with "large global tech platform providers" regarding streaming, but acknowledged that the problem hasn't been cracked just yet. "There's a number of [hurdles]," he said, "but just as one example, latency requirements mean a lot in gaming. Lag measured in milliseconds can disrupt the gaming experience in a way that doesn't really matter for watching a movie or a TV show. So we feel like there's still work to be done before the tech is ready for mainstream adoption. We do think this will happen, probably not in the near-term, and we're well-positioned for when it does."
The game streaming subscription idea has come and gone in waves before, but better infrastructure and technology could make it stick one day. Whether we like it or not, the biggest games publishers are certainly going to try to make it the future.

Kamp C hits a milestone with largest 3D-printer for concrete
November 2, 2020 by
Comments Off on Kamp C hits a milestone with largest 3D-printer for concrete
Belgium-based provincial Centre for Sustainability and Innovation in construction, Kamp C, recently used Europe's largest 3D concrete printer to complete an impressive accomplishment. The company created the world's first two-story house to be 3D-printed in one piece, a 90-square meter dwelling measuring eight meters tall (the average size of terraced houses in the region). "What makes this house so unique, is that we printed it with a fixed 3D concrete printer," Emiel Ascione, the project manager at Kamp C, said in a press release. "Other houses that were printed around the world only have one floor. In many cases, the components were printed in a factory and were assembled on-site. We, however, printed the entire building envelope in one piece on-site." Related: Czech Republic's first 3D-printed floating home will take just 48 hours to build The project's goal is to raise interest in 3D concrete printing as a building technique in the Belgian construction industry. The industry, like many others, continues to face environmental challenges from material and energy consumption, producing the need for reduced CO2 emissions and waste streams despite the growing demand for high-quality, affordable housing. This first house serves as a test that researchers will monitor for solidity over time. In the future, the company hopes to get printing time down from three weeks to just under two days. Kamp C's printed home is three times sturdier than those built with conventional quick build bricks, according to the company's project manager. The printing technology saved an estimated 60% on material, time and budget, requiring less wire-mesh reinforcement than similar projects. Highlighting the principle of circular architecture , the design accommodates multipurpose options from use as a house, meeting space, office or exhibition space. The model home includes an overhang with heavily curved walls and features low-energy capabilities with floor and ceiling heating, solar panels in the facade and a heat pump. Future designs will include a green roof. + Kamp C Via Apartment Therapy Images © Kamp C

Czech Republics first 3D-printed floating home will take just 48 hours to build
Filed under Eco, Green, Recycle
Comments Off on Czech Republics first 3D-printed floating home will take just 48 hours to build
The first 3D-printed house in Czech Republic is scheduled for completion by the end of June 2020. Not only will the project, called Prvok, only take about 48 hours to build, but this floating home will also set an example for innovative affordable housing solutions for the future. The project will be printed with partially self-sustaining green technology , including a re-circulation shower, a green roof and well reservoirs for water. It is a collaboration between sculptor Michal Trpak and building society Stavebni sporitelna Ceske sporitelny. Related: This clothing tech company is 3D-printing garments to help reduce waste Once completed, the home will have been built seven times faster than conventional houses, saving up to 50% of construction costs compared to a regular building, all while reducing construction waste and carbon emissions by about 20% along the way. It is printed using a highly advanced robotic arm that moves 15 centimeters per second. To create the structure, a specially developed concrete mixture enriched with nano-polypropylene fibers, plasticizers and a setting accelerator will flow through a tip in the robotic arm. While Prvok will have the ability to float via pontoon anchor, the house will also be designed to stand on land, suitable for long-term living in both the country and the city. The nearly 463-square-foot living space will feature three rooms in total: a bedroom, a bathroom and a combination living room/kitchen. The design renderings feature a substantial green roof as well as massive porthole windows, an exposed concrete exterior and wood plank flooring for a unique, nautical appearance. According to Trpak, future owners of the 3D-printed home will be able to crush the building once it has reached the end of its life and reprint it again using the recycled material at the same location, making it long-lasting as well as sustainable. Stavebni sporitelna Ceske sporitelny hopes that the Prvok home will demonstrate the possibilities for more accessible and affordable housing options throughout the Czech Republic. + Prvok Images via Prvok

Steven Holls new solar-powered concert hall plays up the dramatic contrast between new and old
Comments Off on Steven Holls new solar-powered concert hall plays up the dramatic contrast between new and old
New York-based Steven Holl Architects and Architecture Acts has won an international competition to design the new 1,300-seat concert hall in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Created as a "perfect acoustic instrument in its case," the acoustics-driven design has a strikingly contemporary appearance with a rounded zinc-clad exterior that stands in dramatic contrast with the Ostrava Cultural Center, a modern classicism-style building that will be overlapped by the new concert hall. In addition to optimized acoustics, the shape of the new building is engineered to minimize energy demands and the hall will be entirely powered by rooftop solar panels. Slated to begin construction in 2022, the new building has a roughly teardrop-shaped form with the concert hall positioned at the rear to shield it from urban traffic noise. The new entrance on the promenade appears to float over the top of the existing Cultural center and connects to a new sky-lit lobby. The rounded facade is clad in zinc with a titanium oxide smog-eating coating and punctuated with triple-glazed windows to prevent heat gains. The roof is topped with solar panels, while stormwater will be collected from the roofs of the Cultural Center and the new building and then treated and collected in a garden pond to create a cooling microclimate. Related: Zaha Hadid Architects wins bid for Russia's new Sverdlovsk Philharmonic Concert Hall "The smooth case of zinc holds an "instrument" in an extended vineyard-type plan made of concrete and maple wood," explain the architects in a press statement. "Czech composer, Leoš Janá?ek's theories of time will guide and give order to the concert hall's interior geometry. Acoustic wall panels are organized according to scasovani, or rhythm, in three variants: Znici = sounding; Scitaci = counting; and Scelovac = summing." The new concert hall will fulfill a decades-long dream of Ostrava to provide a more suitable space for the Janá?ek Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the leading orchestras in the Czech Republic . The concert hall competition was the biggest architectural competition in the city's recent history. The opening ceremony for the new concert hall and refurbished Ostrava Cultural Center building is scheduled for 2024. + Steven Holl Architects Images Courtesy of Steven Holl Architects

Luminous LEDs transform Pragues historic Mirror Chapel into an interactive art space
Comments Off on Luminous LEDs transform Pragues historic Mirror Chapel into an interactive art space
The lavish interiors of Prague, Czech Republic's Mirror Chapel were recently transformed into a psychedelic art space thanks to New York-based design studio SOFTlab . Commissioned by the 2018 Signal Festival that concluded last month, the designers inserted an interactive and circular art installation made of responsive mirrors and LEDs . Dubbed Iris, the luminous artwork reacted to ambient sound and the movement of people through the rotation of mirrors, creating vertically fragmented images for a dream-like effect. Built in the early 18th century, the Mirror Chapel has long drawn visitors for its sumptuous interiors dressed with marble, mirrors, gilded stucco decorations and frescoed and painted ceilings. In the 1930s, the beautiful chapel — which belongs to the historic complex of buildings in Prague called Clementinum — began being used for secular purposes such as concerts and exhibitions. The building has also been a popular destination for the Signal Festival of Lights , the largest cultural event in the Czech Republic that unites art, urban space and modern technology and has drawn crowds of more than two million people since it was launched five years ago. One of the many invited international design practices, SOFTlab crafted a site-specific artwork for Mirror Chapel that takes inspiration from the building's many mirrored surfaces. Arranged as a circular array, the Iris art installation reacts to sound and movement to create a bewildering display of light and reflections evocative of a 'mise en abyme' — a French term describing the technique of putting a copy of an image within itself — that mixes elements of the chapel, viewers and light into a series of recursive and panoramic images. Related: MAD reactivates an abandoned Japanese tunnel using surreal immersive art "Both the intricate nature of the Mirror Chapel's architecture and its use as a classical concert hall drive the design of the installation," the designers explained. "A mirrored object in the round reflects the ornate surroundings externally while reflecting the viewer infinitely on the interior of the circular enclosure. This reflective enclosure is disrupted as people approach for a closer look. In this way, it is curiosity and sound that activate the installation. A closer look has the potential to produce a delightful bewilderment as the exterior leaks in while space and sound become multiplied in unexpected ways. In that sense, Iris is not an object, image or artifact on its own, but relies on the existing space as the medium. As it bends, multiplies and conflates light and sound, it calls into question the lenses (both mechanical and cultural) that limit or expand our spatial experiences." + SOFTlab Images via Signal Festival of Lights / SOFTlab

Hydroponic gardens and a mini mountain promote fun and well-being in this creative office
Comments Off on Hydroponic gardens and a mini mountain promote fun and well-being in this creative office
A running track, elevated hydroponic gardens and a miniature "mountain" combine in this fun, new office headquarters for the non-profit Leping Foundation in Beijing , China. Designed by the prolific local design practice People's Architecture Office (PAO), the mostly open-plan office landscape was created to foster health and wellness. Covering an area of 1,100 square meters, the Leping Social Entrepreneur Foundation Headquarters unites four of the company's departments with a suspended vegetated loop and a running track underneath. Known for its social innovation work, the headquarters of the Leping Foundation covers four distinct fields: job training for migrant workers, agricultural research, preschool education and microfinance. To cultivate a sense of community among the different fields, the People's Architecture Office created an office that fosters collaboration and interaction. The activity loop track that snakes through the various departments encourages office workers to take breaks and walk laps around the office. In addition to the open kitchen, dining area and lounge, the architects also added a "mini mountain" integrated with stairs to give workers a way to "hike" up to the mezzanine level. The office also includes a separate gym, a meditation space and a meeting room. "The wall design reminds users of the importance of staying active and changing positions," the architects explained. "Gradating bands of blue span the height of the walls and columns at 60-cm intervals. Recommended periods of time spent at each height are given and each of these correspond with certain postures and activities, which include laying down, sitting, walking and climbing."

The gardens are complemented with an advanced air filtration system — an important addition given Beijing's notoriety for severe air pollution . Indoor air quality data is regularly collected, monitored and displayed in real time above the running track. + People's Architecture Office Photography by Jing Weiqi via People's Architecture Office

Comments Off on Sprawling Villa H in Prague adapts to a steep plot with a creative 3-level layout
Terraced gardens and arched layout allow Villa H to adapt to its steep sloping site in Prague, Czech Republic . Architecture firm Atelier 6 designed Villa H to hug the plot in a creative and unique way in order to utilize as much of it as possible. The two-story building sits on a property located on a residential villa in Prague's Podolí district. It takes an L-shaped form that opens to the west in the garden and to the attractive view of the Vltava river and the cityscape.

Light glides softly inside this cylindrical modern church in the Czech Republic
Comments Off on Light glides softly inside this cylindrical modern church in the Czech Republic
A beautiful modern church that looks like a sculptural work of art has popped up in a Czech village. Brno-based studio Atelier Št?pán designed the Church of St Wenceslas that combines inspiration from the historic rotundas built in the 10th century with contemporary and minimalist styles. The church has become the new focal point for Sazovice, a village that had sought a new church since before World War II. The Church of St Wenceslas was carefully placed at the heart of Sazovice to "amplify the spiritual sense of the church." Instead of a rectangular form, the architects opted for a simple cylinder that's roughly the same size and proportions as the old rotunda at Prague's famous St. Wenceslas Chapel. The newly built church in Sazovice also contains relics of the saint. The architects wrote: "My aim was to dematerialize the building. When you observe the volume, you feel the lightness made by design principle of tapering the walls into tiny lines. It's like cutting a paper cylinder and exploring its possibilities. I created the windows by pushing and pulling the cuts and letting the light glide softly on the walls. The church invites us inside and provides a sense of quietness and peace. You can experience being alone with God if you want. The interior is very personal and it's better to come and live it out."

The white exterior is made of reinforced concrete covered in plaster while the interior features light colored timber pews, furnishings, and ceiling. The altar takes on a sculptural appearance with its shiny bronze shell crafted with an organic shape. A variety of window sizes and shapes punctuate the curved walls and roof to let in glimpses of the outdoors and natural light. + Atelier Št?pán Photography by Jakub Skokan and Martin T?ma – BoysPlayNice

Comments Off on House by the Forest gets a retro remodel that helps it blend into its surroundings
Architecture firm kaa-studio used classic building materials and techniques to reconstruct a simple suburban house in Czech Republic and revamp it as a retro-styled weekend getaway. With its dark grey-brown facade, the House by the Forest blends into its natural surroundings and channels the simplicity of rural living. The architects preserved as much as possible of the original structure and focused on reorganizing its interior to open it up towards the garden and bring natural light inside. They decided to demolish the original vestibule, reorganize the entrance area and only keep the central supporting wall and the staircase on the ground floor. This allowed a more contemporary layout of the living space and reintroduced the connection to the main garden. Related: Skylights stream light into tiny cantilevering home in German forest A strip of window was made across the entire width of the building in order to provide natural lighting and views of the neighboring forest. Similarly, a strip of large roof windows brightened the attic. The height difference between the main entrance and access to the garden was solved using field banks/green hills reinforced with rough stone. + kaa-studio Photos by BoysPlayNice

16th-century Czech home reborn as a guesthouse imbued with history
Comments Off on 16th-century Czech home reborn as a guesthouse imbued with history
ORA architects transformed a 16th-century home in the former Jewish quarter of Mikulov, Czech Republic into Štajnhaus, a beautiful bespoke guesthouse and residence. Built in the Czech Renaissance period, the old house has been damaged, rebuilt, and transformed numerous times over hundreds of years. The architects carefully peeled back those layers in the palimpsest-like home to uncover unexpected architectural elements. In upgrading the old home, the architects also worked to preserve many of the original details such as old plasterwork and stone steps. In hopes of preserving these historic features—many of which continued to unexpectedly turn up in the process—the architects let these discoveries inform the renovation to keep the building as organic as possible. The old and new features are meant to blend together, giving every room a unique character. Materials, such as timber beams and bricks, salvaged on-site were reused as tiles and furniture. The vaulted brick wine cellars beneath the home were also brought back to life. The aboveground walls were painted white to reflect light and give the building an airy, spacious feel. Related: This Czech archaeological museum springs from the ground like a series of caves "We came to a 'pudding stone'. The more individual layers, spaces and surprising circumstances we uncovered, the more revisions and alterations our project we had to make in our project; and this lasted, in fact, until the end of realisation," wrote the architects. "In the beginning we did not have a clue where we would come to in the end. We were looking for a limit what time we could come back to and for a point when we should rather go on a new journey. But we still wanted to preserve the house as an organic unit. You will not find a straight wall or a rectangular opening in the house, so we had to reinvent and remake to measure all the elements, which the investor was compliant with." + ORA architects Via ArchDaily Images by Jakub Skokan, Martin T?ma / BoysPlayNice

We need to unlock more water resources and drive efficiency in our existing supplies to stimulate the economy and job growth. As our climate is changing and the main input into our water resources, rainfall, becomes more variable in time and space we need to adjust how we manage and value our water resources. Water is an important cog in our economy. The challenges we face are not only on the supply-side but also on the demand-side. On the one side the custodians of our water resources are blamed for our water woes through poor planning and operation & maintenance. Water users are blamed for excessive water use. South Africa's per capita water use is of the highest in the world.
The world average is 170 litres per day compared to our average of 235 litres per day and in some metropolitan areas can reach 600 litres per day. While we have rural communities that still do not have adequate access to water – some below 50 litres per day. There is a need to radically change how we supply and use water in this country. As our water demands grow we should do things differently while tackling our challenges head-on. Access to water is a key requirement to grow the economy at all levels. Three barriers to economic growth are recognised by economists - improper infrastructural investment, skills and education development and public service delivery.
The traditional and established means of water supply have worked well when only a small population was served. It is increasingly more difficult to serve scattered communities owing to challenges in settlement densities and topography among others. The way we manage our water resources also needs radical transformation. Post-1994, we have achieved a great deal in getting people connected to water infrastructure. However, the question remains are these connections supplied with water all the time? Did we only add how many water supply points we have installed? We have reported for the Millennium Development Goals 88.3% safe water access. Did we also subtract the failed or unsustainable systems? Basic domestic water supply remains a challenge.
Let us consider what is called the "Priority District Municipalities that are dysfunctional" – these municipalities sit on top of our higher exploitable groundwater resources areas. Yet the resource is ignored in the main or poorly managed. Because we are obsessed with building dams; groundwater can be considered the Cinderella resource. What are some of the root causes? Firstly, groundwater is an invisible resource to the layperson. It is difficult to determine its volumes as opposed to a dam this leads to a perception problem about its assurance of yield – it needs to be developed and managed by skilled personnel. Secondly, it has a lower capital expenditure cost compared to dams but a higher long-term operational cost. It seems that our financial systems cannot deal with this phenomenon and most favoured projects are those with higher capital expenditure over a shorter period. In addition, the financial burden is on the municipality for local water schemes and they tend to prefer receiving piped water from another Water Services Provider to externalise planning and logistics. Thirdly, the distribution infrastructure and abstraction systems need to be operated, maintained and managed in addition to how the aquifers respond to the abstraction – this is no easy task. Lastly, the institutional biases to dams and now desalinisation plants. At the local municipality level where groundwater is a conjunctive or sole source of supply management is poor or absent.
A Water Research Commission study recently surveyed 24 municipalities that uses groundwater as a domestic supply source and 71% of these municipalities do not have a groundwater management plan and 17% do not know if they have a plan while only 13% of the municipalities have plans. This is also reflected in the lack of specialised groundwater personnel in the employ of the municipalities – 79% do not have the required skill to manage their groundwater supply schemes. This is clearly a recipe for disaster and points to poor governance provisions. When a groundwater scheme fails, the tendency is to blame the resource as unreliable while the real reason is poor management and institutional arrangements. The myth that groundwater is always cheap to manage, available in exploitable quantities all over the place, always potable and free are some of the factors that creates the perception that it needs limited management.
Groundwater is but one example of how we do not use available resources to meet our increasing demands. By including this under-utilised resource in our water supply mix with other water sources like direct wastewater reuse, rain and storm water harvesting we can improve our water security. At the same time, we need to overhaul our deteriorating water infrastructure. The Water Research Commission estimated that our non-revenue water loss amounts to around R7 billion and a large part is because of leaking infrastructure. The War-on-leaks programme and artisan training programmes is a step in the right direction. On the demand side, we need to radically change our approaches to water use across all sectors. We need to upscale sanitation technologies that uses no or significantly less water to flush our toilets. The Water Research Commission have prototyped toilets that can be flushed with less than one (1) litre of water. Yes, you read that correctly! The way we design our buildings and cities need to radically change to become water and energy efficient. Imagine the manufacturing opportunities if we need to retro-fit cities and create new industries that supply water wise technologies. This needs to be supported by an increase in R&D spending. Our declining manufacturing sector certainly needs this push. The net benefit will be to the economy; water innovations and technologies can contribute to get us out of this 'growth trap' that we find ourselves in. South Africa's water economy can reduce the high levels of unemployment, poverty, and inequality. Water and sanitation wise manufacturing is a great way to achieve this. Inefficient use and management of our water resources hampers our growth efforts and water needs to be better valued as a major direct and indirect contributor to GDP.
