Thermal and structural analysis of the ITPS is done on either a unit cell or quarter panel model ITPS model using the ABAQUS finite element software. In the unit cell model shown below, heat influx is incident on the top face sheet and it is assumed all heat is either transferred into the ITPS or radiated out to the surroundings. The periodic boundary conditions prevent heat lateral heat loss. The bottom face sheet is perfectly insulated to simulate the worst case scenario where the bottom face sheet temperature rises to the maximum as it is unable to dissipate heat. The trajectory and body point on the vehicle dictate the input heat influx and pressure profile used in the analysis.
Thermally, we consider failure to be exceeding the maximum allowable temperature of a material or violating any given temperature limit. The bottom face sheet temperature is of particular interest due to its proximity to the underlying vehicle structure. Structurally, we consider the buckling behavior of all components, stress, and deflection.
With these finite element models and proper sampling of designs, we are able to build response surface approximations that allow cheap calculations, such as the maximum bottom face sheet temperature, buckling eigenvalues, and stresses.


• As ultra-soft materials, they are suitable for studying high deformability and non-linear elasticity effects on fracture.
• As amorphous disordered elastic networks, they are suitable for studying the role of structural features of the force-transmitting backbone on slow relaxation processes.
• As biocompatible materials with mechanical properties close to those of extracellular matrices and living tissues they can be seen as substrates for drug delivery or tissue engineering applications.
Polymer hydrogels consist of highly hydrated (up to 99 wt% solvent content) networks of polymer chains, crosslinked via covalent (chemical gels) or weak (physical gels) bonds. The archetype of physical gels is gelatin, obtained from the denaturation of the protein collagen followed by its partial, thermoreversible renaturation. Alginate, extracted from see weeds, gels upon addition of specific ions. More generally, biopolymers exhibit a wealth of non-covalent interchain association mechanisms. Biopolymers can also be crosslinked via the formation of interchain covalent bonds. Our favorite chemical gel is gelatin crosslinked via a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme (transglutaminase). Its activity can be conveniently inhibited by heating, providing a straightforward control of the degree of crosslinking.
We study the dynamics of crack propagation in soft gels with special interest in the crack front instabilities. The underlying issue is to identify the specific characteristics of fracture of tough-AND-soft materials.
We investigate the role of the near-tip environment on the crack dynamics in hydrogels. We are able to speed-up or down the crack growth or trigger instabilities in a controlled way by wetting the tip with a drop of the gel solvent modified by addition of either salt, nanoparticles or an aditional solute. Our aim is to gain insight into the structure of the process zone and the underlying dissipative mechanisms.
Stress singularities also play an important part in polymer extrusion. The no-slip/no-stress transition at the exit of a die through which a liquid is forced to flow generates singular stress and strain rate fields. Although it is agreed to be responsible for the sharkskin extrusion instabilitiy, the extension of the region of quasi-singular elongational stress (the anologous of the process zone at a fracture tip) is poorly known. We revisit this question using gel-forming visco-elastic polymer solutions (alginate or collagen) extruded into a gelling bath.
Physical gels exhibit mechanical aging and slow stress relaxation. Indeed, alike glassy materials, they are out-of-equilibrium, metastable systems : for instance, gelatin renaturation into the triple-helix collagen is frustrated by the topological constrains induced by gelation. The thermorevesibilty of its physical crosslinks enables the system to slowly relax down its glasslike complex energy landscape.
We investigate this dynamics in physically crosslinked, as well as in hybrid gelatin gels containing a controlled fraction of covalent bonds. This gives access to the effect of decimation of rearrangement paths in the landscape on the relaxation dynamics.
Purely covalent gelatin gels exhibit, above the renaturation temperature, a stress-induced coil to helix transition. We study the resulting stress relaxation dynamics in order to shed light on the effect of network-mediated long-range couplings between helix growth events on individual polymer strands.
We study the mechanical properties of biological (tendons) and bioinspired (collagen gels) systems based on self-assembled biopolymers.

Home/UMC bishops mourn victims of Florida shootings
UMC bishops mourn victims of Florida shootings
In the wake of the school shooting in Florida, the Council of Bishops of The United Methodist Church has issued a statement of grief, mourning the victims of the shootings and called for prayers of repentance from the culture of death and cycle of violence.
The statement issued by Florida Area Resident Bishop Ken Carter, who is also the incoming president of the Council of Bishops, reads as follows:
"On this Ash Wednesday, our services announced the biblical imperative to "repent and believe the gospel." In light of today's shootings, we repent from our participation in a culture of death, we acknowledge the harm we do to others, and we claim the power of the cross that breaks the cycle of violence and retaliation. We also grieve with the communities of Parkland and Coral Springs, Florida, in the deaths of seventeen persons and the wounding of many others on the campus of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. A number of surrounding United Methodist Churches have students at this school, and our connection will support their healing ministry in the days ahead."

Dr. Bela Zarbo provided schlocky thrills with Wide Scream Theatre in 1970s
Allison Ehrlich
Editor's Note: This article originally published on Oct. 30, 2015.
Saturday night, 11:35 p.m., 1972. While the younger set was tucked into bed and the older teenagers off to clubs and other hot night spots, Corpus Christi's adolescents spent their evenings with a mad scientist who introduced them to bad horror movies with a maniacal laugh.
"If you were under 16 you couldn't go anywhere, unless you wanted to walk or ride your bike, on a Saturday night. So you watched Dr. Bela Zarbo," local attorney Bill Chriss remembers.
The horror movie host wasn't a new invention by this time. Universal had been selling packages of its 1930s and 1940s films like "Dracula," "Frankenstein" and "The Wolf Man" to local TV stations as "Shock!" and "Creature Features" since the 1950s. Networks were encouraged to show the films with snippets from a local host. Most large markets had a host, some who became famous to a wider national audience: Vampira in Los Angeles, Sir Graves Ghastly in Detroit, and Count Gore De Vol in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore.
Station owner Mike McKinnon brought KIII-TV on the air in Corpus Christi in 1964, eight years behind the more well-known KRIS-TV owned by T. Frank Smith Sr. and KZTV owned by Vann Kennedy. Former General Manager Bob White, who retired in 2002, recalls KIII's start vividly.
"We were No. 4 in a three-station market," White laughs. "We would do almost anything to get advertising."
Enter Marvin Wheatley, advertising and merchandising manager with the Opportunity Stores, a local discount grocery chain. Wheatley felt a draw to the television business and could bring the advertising. White and Wheatley met and when White suggested doing a horror movie hosting gig, Wheatley lit up. They brainstormed ideas and selected the name Dr. Bela Zarbo, an homage to Bela Lugosi. White described gathering driftwood from the beach and tree branches to give the set a spooky look. The set design eventually included a science laboratory.
So on Sept. 26, 1970, Dr. Zarbo debuted at 11:35 p.m. showing the 1964 Hammer Studios film "The Evil of Frankenstein." The show's name was originally Science Fiction Theatre, then became Wide Scream Theatre.
"(Zarbo) started out bald," as Steve Wheatley, Marvin's son, recalled. "He got a 'hair transplant,' because my dad didn't like wearing the bald wig."
A long black cape completed the outfit.
What's a good mad doctor without some sidekicks? Zarbo had at least two. LuRella was the red-haired girlfriend, or ghoul-friend, and Trog was the Igorlike assistant.
Daphne Miller, who went by the name Dee Wray at the time, portrayed LuRella. She was first pulled into the role when she worked in the copywriting department at KIII. Miller remembers Zarbo and LuRella in one filmed segment toasting with wineglasses after their marriage ceremony uniting them in "deadlock."
Carl Arguell was a camera operator at Channel 3, a recent King High School graduate, when he was recruited to play Trog.
"We cut some Ping-Pong balls in half, poked holes in them to create a pair of wild-eyed goggles," recalls Arguell, who now lives in New Jersey.
Wheatley got a kick out of playing the character.
"Marvin was perfect for the part," Miller said.
KIII purchased a hearse and a coffin, and Zarbo and LuRella would make appearances around the Coastal Bend at carnivals and business grand openings, to the delighted terror of kids.
She remembers one appearance riding in the hearse with a huge Great Dane that Wheatley would borrow for occasional appearances on the show.
"The dog was just dripping saliva down my neck," Miller remembered. "I'm much more of a cat person."
Wade Houze was in high school and had seen the show before. Then one day he spotted a car pull in next-door, and a man with wild hair and cape get out: Zarbo turned out to be his neighbor. His buddies didn't believe him until he invited them over.
"We'd yell out 'Hi, Dr. Zarbo,' and he'd wave back, flip up his cape like Dracula, then go in the house," Houze remembers. "Cool thing to live next door to THE Dr. Bela Zarbo."
Jimmy Kuddes worked in production for Wide Scream Theatre. The segments were designed to play in between the commercial breaks of the movie and were filmed in black and white to match the black-and-white movies. "It wasn't very planned out," Kuddes recollects. There was no script; instead Wheatley would preview the movie and come up with a rough idea of what to say, then ad-lib as they filmed. "It was very corny. But no one else locally was doing it."
" 'Delightfully bogus' is the phrase to describe Dr. Bela Zarbo," Chriss said. "The entire thing was designed to be very campy," White recalls.
The show started on Saturday nights from 11:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. and was a hit, particularly with kids between about 9 and 15 years old.
Then sometime in 1971, the show changed to Mondays at 6:30 p.m. A 12-year-old fan wrote to the Caller-Times in an Oct. 10, 1971, Action Line to protest the change, because "a scary movie is scary only late at night." Action Line reported that KIII moved the show because of complaints from fans, young and old, that 11:30 was too late. Since ABC had no programming Mondays at 6:30, the decision was made to move the show. Action Line, always ready with a quip, suggested that the frustrated fans wait for Daylight Saving Time to watch, since "it will at least be past sunset."
Eventually the show moved back to Saturday nights. But it's popularity began to wane once the movie selections were on their second and third run. Television guides from the time indicate that the show petered out around 1973.
Wheatley moved from Corpus Christi in 1977 to Pea Ridge, Arkansas, where he was the owner and operator of Starvin Marvin, a printing and advertising business. Wheatley died in 1998, and his son says he doesn't recall his father playing Zarbo or another character like that again. Steve Wheatley remembers when people would recognize the elder Wheatley as Zarbo around town, they would demand of him, "do the laugh." And he would let out a ridiculous twitter, a "tee-hee-hee," rather than the maniacal "rah-ha-ha-ha."
Little exists of the show now. Of those contacted for this story, none had a photo of Zarbo or the set. Miller had a promotional poster at one time, but lost it long ago. If reels of the segments remain, they've been lost in the shuffle of KIII's move to a new building.
So Wide Scream Theatre and Dr. Bela Zarbo, in all their schlocky glory, remain as fading memories of those long past Saturday (and sometimes Monday) nights.

Akikan = First Impressions
Lately, I've been picking up a lot of shows. Recently, about 20 minutes ago, I decided randomly that I'd watch Akikan.
I came into the show knowing nothing more than the premise was about cans that turn into girls. Now the main thing that was bugging me was the voice of the main character, Kakeru. It was so familiar, but I didn't really have a guess until I heard him yell "Melon-chan". After I heard this, I was pretty sure he did the voice of Watanuki from xxxHOLiC, which , coincidentally, I just wrote something about. But not being 100% sure, I looked it up. It turns out that the voice actor is none other than Jun Fukuyama, who has been in pretty much every cool show.
Lelouch from Code Geass
Watanuki from xxxHOLiC (so annoying)
A main character in like 15 other shows that I've never seen
But mainly, it was his role in Inukami! as Keita that seemed familiar, because these two anime have similar humor (perverted at times). Now Inukami! was an awesomely awesome show with hilarity across the boards, so needless to say, I am liking Akikan so far, and am glad that I randomly decide things. On a side note, Hyakko sucks and I may drop it, I'm going to try and push through but I had to stop in the middle of an episode because it was so dumb. But that wasn't what I really wanted to say. What I really wanted to say was ==>
"What is with all the comedic anime that I've been watching lately? So weird. I need something with fighting (preferably something bloody like Higurashi, because I'm sick (in the head) I guess….even though I'm not really (probably))."
Here's an example of some of the funny (possible spoiler) although it's not a big scene at all and doesn't ruin the plot what-so-ever:
Setting: A fight is seemingly about to begin between Melon and Budoko, who is a little girl. A ring forms and people start talking when Kakeru steps in to break them up:
Person 1: Is it a fight?
Person 2: A love triangle?
Person 3: How can you do that to a little girl?
Person 4: Pervert.
Person 5: Pedofile.
Person 6: I'm jealous, I mean what a bastard.
END OF SPOILER
I laughed. I like humor. FUCK YOU. Sorry, felt like I needed to be abrassive.
I wonder if I did all those parenthees right?
EDIT: After watching a few eps, which have revealed a farther plot (fighting tounament), I have deduced that this series has the potential to be nasty-awesome^2.

Endorsement: Rescinding our support for Minor candidacy
Republican primary candidates, Burt Minor, for Illinois state representative in District 42, left, and Erika Harold, for state attorney general, posed together at an event last December for this photo posted on Minor's Facebook page. Photo Courtesy of Burt Minor
The Daily Herald Editorial Board
Updated 2/28/2018 6:27 AM
Winfield Township Republican Chairman Burt Minor says his now-controversial meeting last October with Erika Harold, a candidate for the GOP nomination for attorney general, "has been greatly misrepresented."
In that meeting, Harold said, Minor, now running for the Illinois House, used a pejorative term to ask if she is a lesbian and repeatedly used the N-word in asking her when the racial slur would be appropriate to use.
Harold campaign finance director Katelyn Wallace, who attended the meeting, backs Harold's account.
In a lengthy statement last week and in an interview earlier this week with our Editorial Board, Minor gave a substantially different account.
He said he was attempting to coach Harold in advance of her run for attorney general. He denied using the homophobic slur although he conceded that he asked about her sexual orientation. He acknowledged using the racial slur but said he did so only once in answer to a question from Harold asking what "N-word" means. He said the N-word topic came up in the first place when he was talking about the dynamics of Republican political personalities and he referred to a provocative conservative who has publicly questioned whether the word must always be off-limits
You can view the full video of Minor's defense at dailyherald.com and gauge for yourself how credible you think that defense is.
In some respects, this is a classic he-said-she-said. We'll probably never know for certain whose story is accurate. And it's a shame that it seems to be politicized by State Rep. Peter Breen, a Minor foe in Republican Party politics.
But here's what's troublesome about Minor's account:
• In his lengthy statement last week, he failed to specifically deny the slurs attributed to him. That did not come until he spoke to our Editorial Board days later. If the claims were untrue, wouldn't those be the first things you'd deny?
• In our conversation with him, he referred to reports he'd heard in December that his meeting with Harold may create problems. But as much as we asked him about where he'd heard those reports, the more he danced around the subject. It left us with the impression that something is missing in his story of what happened.
• Under what circumstances would anyone, much less an African American like Harold, ask what the N-word means?
• Minor's answer to that question was that he thinks Harold may have been setting him up. But he hadn't announced his candidacy for the House yet; what was there to set up?
These trouble spots do not constitute proof that Minor's story is untrue. But taken together, along with Harold's allegations and Wallace's corroboration of them, they raise enough doubt that we can no longer feel confident in our earlier endorsement of Minor's candidacy.
That being the case, we must rescind that endorsement. We'll offer no GOP primary recommendation in the 42nd Illinois House District.

2018 Topps On Demand Black and White Baseball is a mini set available for a limited time through the Topps website. Limited time might be an understatement. It sold out within an hour.
The set removes color from the equation, at least at the base level. Cards also come with a minimalist design, relying on the photo and the colorless contrast for its look.
Each 2018 Topps On Demand Black and White Baseball set starts with 35 base cards. It's a mix of veterans, rookies and a couple of retired players.
Base cards all have the following parallels: Sepia (/60), Background (/25), Full Player (/10) and Full Color (1/1). These combine to land two per set.
2018 Topps On Demand Black and White has a pair of chase sets with one of each included in every mini factory set. Historical Moments spotlights five big plays and records including Hank Aaron's 715th home run and Cal Ripken becoming baseball's Iron Man.
Candid Moments is a ten-card insert set pairing teammates together.
Both of these inserts have the same levels of parallels as the base set.
The reason the 2018 Topps On Demand Black and White sets sold out so quickly can likely be attributed to the autographs. They're not guaranteed in each set but every second set has one. The checklist includes Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuna, Derek Jeter, Gleyber Torres and Jose Altuve. Virtually all of the signers are top-line rookies, veteran All-Stars or Hall of Famers. Autographs parallels are available in Background (/25), Full Player (/10) and Full Color (1/1).

Football kicks off inaugural season for Coach Troxell tomorrow
By Charlie Berman, Assistant Sports Editor|September 2, 2022
The Leopards have five returning starters on offense and nine on defense this season. (Photo courtesy of GoLeopards).
The Lafayette football team, under new coach John Troxell '94, will kick off its season tomorrow against the Sacred Heart University Pioneers. With a completely revamped offensive and defensive coaching staff, the Maroon and White will look to improve upon its 3-8 record in 2021.
"Expectations are always high, you always want to win," Troxell said. "I think getting the kids to play with relentless effort in addition to their excitement and enthusiasm is important. When people see athletes at their highest level, it's exciting to watch."
With new schemes on both sides of the ball led by offensive coordinator TJ DiMuzio and defensive coordinator Mike Saint-Germain '05, the Leopards aim to immediately turn around their team which has only finished above .500 once in the last 5 years.
"It's really been fun watching everything come together. On the offensive staff, all five guys have coordinating experience which brings a lot of cool ideas. I think from where we were to where we are, you are going to see a lot more of a college-style offense that creates a lot of excitement." Troxell said. "Defensively, we have a great nucleus of guys with new terminology. Any time you want to build a championship team you start on that side of the ball, because if you can play good defense, you are in every game."
While the Leopards lost a lot of talent after the class of 2022 graduated, they are also bringing back five starters on offense and nine on defense. Two of those starters include senior captains Marco Olivas and Malik Hamm.
Olivas was named to the All-Patriot League team last season after finishing third in tackles in the league. Hamm, who is a two-time captain, is now a four-time All Patriot League selection and one-time Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year.
"[Olivas] and [Hamm], first of all, are great leaders and are great people," Troxell said. "Having these guys as part of our senior leadership team will really help us on both sides of the ball."
Olivas and Hamm will be supplemented by a range of experience on both sides of the ball. Sophomore quarterback Ah-Shaun Davis returns after tearing up defensive secondaries within his first weeks on campus, and other offensive weapons include senior running back Jaden Sutton and senior wide receivers Joe Gillette and Julius Young.
On defense, fifth years linebacker Billy Shaeffer and defensive lineman Ian Grayson return to join senior defensive back Daron Gilbert and junior linebacker Preston Forney to form one of the strongest defenses in the Patriot League.
The Leopards will face a tough test tomorrow as they take on Sacred Heart, a team that finished with a 6-1 conference record which was best within the Northeast Conference.
"I think there are a lot of different emotions right now. Some excitement, some anxiety, but the number one priority is to make sure all the T's are crossed and I's are dotted," Troxell said. "It's obviously the first time we are going through it as a staff and the first time we are going through it with the players. We are just trying to put the kids in the best position to win."
The Leopards will face the Pioneers at 12:30 p.m. tomorrow in Fisher Stadium.

IGS is serious about its commitment to a sustainable future and to play a role in combating climate change.
Sustainable Future is one of three strategic aspirations of the IGS strategic plan, Into the World 2016-2020, along with Limitless Learning and Empowered Students.
In August 2018, IGS developed a Sustainability Framework that strives to make the School's campus, activities, and events sustainable. IGS believes in using the Earth's finite resources as wisely as it can and continually monitor and evaluate the School's operations and efforts.
IGS Head of Sustainability Carmelo Fedele works with staff, students and stakeholders to further develop and implement the IGS Sustainability Framework through initiatives and actions that will develop awareness of sustainability practices, support sustainability initiatives and develop sustainability projects, thereby improving the sustainability culture of IGS.
In 2017 Carmelo launched the IGS Sustainable Futures Club – a student-led movement to improve environmental sustainability at IGS.

PTF recycling action
The PTF has partnered with Sustainable School Shop to provide an online uniform and textbook recycling service.
Interested parents and carers can find out more here. View further details.
Secondhand initiatives
PTF volunteers run regular "Rue Kelly" second hand uniform markets (view Calendar for dates). To be a part of this team sign up here. The PTF also assists with the sale of musical instruments, textbooks and private second uniform sales with a community subscription to "The Sustainable School Shop". You can list any school items from uniform to text books, including sporting and musical items. The PTF pays the annual subscription fee so families can use it for free.
The PTF has a new initiative with WornUp to send away old uniforms to be made into new school desks. A "pod" for collecting old items will arrive shortly. Goods which go in the pod will be sorted into uniforms suitable for resale and those which need to be recycled into school desks. The PTF is paying for the collections and the recycling fees.
PTF Label Drive
The PTF is encouraging labelling to help reduce lost property waste.
Please order name labels here so that 25 per cent of every registered IGS label order (using the IGS school code of 2127 or the School's name) will be donated back to the PTF and then to the Sustainable Futures group to use for their good work.
If you would like to suggest an initiative you think the IGS Sustainability team would be interested in, please share it with us here.

IGS was proud to be featured in Issue 16 of the Sustainable Schools Network Journal.
"We have had students go on to study marine biology because of a passion to save coral reefs; urban planning and architecture to improve biodiversity and liveability in our cities; and politics and international studies because they want to be thought leaders and changemakers for the future. What better measure of a school's mission to equip students to be world-ready, than the lives they lead beyond graduation?"

Isolan is formerley of the Maximillian and Downlands studs in the UK.
Isolan is from the Isola Longa family. His sire was Donauwind who was exported to the USA , Donauwind is a horse better known as the sire of Abdullah , the legendary grey Olympic show jumping stallion.
His soundness and athletic paces enabled Downlands Isolan to combine a successful and busy career with his stud duties. He is now retired to stud. From a small number of variously bred mares he has sired international calibre offspring in eventing, show jumping, dressage and showing , all with his stunning good looks.
Isolan is a highly rated dressage stallion with superb ability in BHS/HT and BSJA Show Jumping.
He is the sire of our own broodmare Isengard who herself produced the UK Part Bred Trakehner Champion Incas Gold in 2003 for Greenacres Stud.


At Madison Elementary District schools, preparing students for extraordinary success is the reason we exist. We commend our teachers and students on receiving strong letter grade labels from the State Board of Education.
Each grade represents a snapshot in time and while giving us a specific goal to achieve and strive for, the school letter grades do not reflect other critical components of raising healthy, productive and well-rounded children. In addition to academic excellence, Madison is addressing the social emotional wellness of all students while offering premier performing and fine arts programs, athletic opportunities and access to social workers on each campus. This is what makes Madison special and unique.
Seven of our eight schools have earned a designation of an A or B. We applaud Madison Meadows, which received a letter grade increase, joining Simis, Heights, and Madison Traditional Academy as A-rated schools. Rose Lane, Park and No. 1 received B ratings.
The letter grade for Camelview has seen a drop this year, based on previous test scores and growth compared to state goals. We acknowledge this drop and are working with administrators to identify areas for improvement. We see this new grade as important feedback and an opportunity to improve.
We stand behind our students and the quality of education provided at the school by our strong teaching and administrative staff. As recently as May, Camelview was recognized as an A+ rating the school through a separate and unrelated recognition system last spring.
As we review the letter grades, we will review the data for accuracy. The Arizona Department of Education has an appeal process in place, and we will consider appeals as necessary.
The Madison Elementary School District continually strives for improvement and will work on every level to provide the highest possible level of education for our students and the community.
For more information on the school letter grade system, please visit the Arizona State Board of Education website.

Q: PHP - How to remove all
A: Your DOMDocument solution works perfectly; you are just missing the last line to actually save the HTML:
$content = $domDoc->saveHTML();

As you may already know, it's better not to use regex to parse HTML.

This one should work with your new example:
$scriptTags = $domDoc->getElementsByTagName('script');

while($scriptTags->length > 0){
    $scriptTag = $scriptTags->item(0);
    $scriptTag->parentNode->removeChild($scriptTag);
}

Q: rendering with multiple vertex and index buffer objects (ios - OpenGLES 2.0) I am not able to render my all objects using more than 1 pair of vertex and index buffer objects. To check everything, I initialized just 3 objects and render them. This results in a distorted geometry for the first two and the third objects geometry renders somewhat fine (not perfect).
When I just initialize all of the 3 but render just first, it again shows distorted geometry and somehow the third geometry is more visible (even when I am not rendering it).
However, If I am initializing and rendering any one of them, it renders just fine (perfect).
here is my code:
float tempAngles[4] = {0, 60, 180, 360};
pieOne = [[IVNode alloc]initWithPieGeometry:0.75 thickness:0.20 startAngle:tempAngles[0]*M_PI/180   andEndAngle:tempAngles[1]*M_PI/180];

glGenBuffers(1, &vertexBuffer1);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vertexBuffer1);//vertexBuffer[i]);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, [pieOne.pie getVertexSize]*sizeof(GLfloat), [pieOne.pie returnVertexArray] , GL_STATIC_DRAW);

glGenBuffers(1, &indexBuffer1);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, [pieOne.pie getIndicesSize]*sizeof(GLushort),[pieOne.pie returnIndexArray], GL_STATIC_DRAW);

pieTwo = [[IVNode alloc]initWithPieGeometry:1.0 thickness:0.20 startAngle:tempAngles[1]*M_PI/180 andEndAngle:tempAngles[2]*M_PI/180];

glGenBuffers(1, &vertexBuffer2);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vertexBuffer2);//vertexBuffer[i]);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, [pieTwo.pie getVertexSize]*sizeof(GLfloat), [pieTwo.pie returnVertexArray] , GL_STATIC_DRAW);

glGenBuffers(1, &indexBuffer2);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer2);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, [pieTwo.pie getIndicesSize]*sizeof(GLushort),[pieTwo.pie returnIndexArray], GL_STATIC_DRAW);

pieThree = [[IVNode alloc]initWithPieGeometry:0.75 thickness:0.20 startAngle:tempAngles[2]*M_PI/180 andEndAngle:tempAngles[3]*M_PI/180];

glGenBuffers(1, &vertexBuffer3);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vertexBuffer3);//vertexBuffer[i]);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, [pieThree.pie getVertexSize]*sizeof(GLfloat), [pieThree.pie returnVertexArray] , GL_STATIC_DRAW);

glGenBuffers(1, &indexBuffer3);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer3);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, [pieThree.pie getIndicesSize]*sizeof(GLushort),[pieThree.pie returnIndexArray], GL_STATIC_DRAW);

//#define BUFFER_OFFSET(i) ((char *)NULL + (i))
glEnableVertexAttribArray(GLKVertexAttribPosition);
glVertexAttribPointer(GLKVertexAttribPosition, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 6*sizeof(GLfloat), BUFFER_OFFSET(0));
glEnableVertexAttribArray(GLKVertexAttribNormal);
glVertexAttribPointer(GLKVertexAttribNormal, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 6*sizeof(GLfloat), BUFFER_OFFSET(12));

Now In my rendering function I have:
-(void)glkView:(GLKView *)view drawInRect:(CGRect)rect
{

glClearColor(0.77f, 0.88f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

float yellow[3][4] = {1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f,
    1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f,
    1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f};

glUseProgram(_program);
//1st
GLKMatrix4 model = GLKMatrix4Identity;// GLKMatrix4MakeTranslation(1.5, 0, 0);
_modelViewProjectionMatrix = GLKMatrix4Multiply(_modelViewProjectionMatrix, model);

glUniformMatrix4fv(uniforms[UNIFORM_MODELVIEWPROJECTION_MATRIX], 1, 0, _modelViewProjectionMatrix.m);
glUniformMatrix3fv(uniforms[UNIFORM_NORMAL_MATRIX], 1, 0,_normalMatrix.m);
glUniform4f(uniforms[COLOR_VECTOR], yellow[0][0], yellow[0][1], yellow[0][2], yellow[0][3]);

//bind corresponding buffer before drawing
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, [pieOne.pie getIndicesSize], GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (void*)0);

//2nd
model = GLKMatrix4MakeTranslation(0, -1, 0);
_modelViewProjectionMatrix = GLKMatrix4Multiply(_modelViewProjectionMatrix, model);

glUniformMatrix4fv(uniforms[UNIFORM_MODELVIEWPROJECTION_MATRIX], 1, 0, _modelViewProjectionMatrix.m);
glUniformMatrix3fv(uniforms[UNIFORM_NORMAL_MATRIX], 1, 0,_normalMatrix.m);//
glUniform4f(uniforms[COLOR_VECTOR], yellow[1][0], yellow[1][1], yellow[1][2], yellow[1][3]);

//bind corresponding buffer before drawing
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer2);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer2);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, [pieTwo.pie getIndicesSize], GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT,(void*)0);

//3rd
model = GLKMatrix4MakeTranslation(-1.5, 0, 0);
_modelViewProjectionMatrix = GLKMatrix4Multiply(_modelViewProjectionMatrix, model);
glUniformMatrix4fv(uniforms[UNIFORM_MODELVIEWPROJECTION_MATRIX], 1, 0, _modelViewProjectionMatrix.m);
glUniformMatrix3fv(uniforms[UNIFORM_NORMAL_MATRIX], 1, 0,_normalMatrix.m);
glUniform4f(uniforms[COLOR_VECTOR], yellow[2][0], yellow[2][1], yellow[2][2], yellow[2][3]);

//bind corresponding buffer before drawing
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer3);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer3);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, [pieThree.pie getIndicesSize], GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (void*)0);

}

getIndicesSize returns the number of elements in indexArray.
getVertexSize return the number of elements in vertexArray.
returnVertexArray returns the vertex array of the geometry.
returnIndexArray returns the index array of the geometry.
vertex array is of type GLfloat.
index array is of type GLushort.
Number of elements in vertex array generated is 24522.
Number of elements in Index array generated is 22680.
On the internet, only examples of multiple VBO/IBO I found were not using GLkit and they did exactly what I am doing here in terms of initializing buffers and rendering.
I have spent almost 2 days on this issue. I feel there is some very basic thing missing. Somehow the last bound buffer affects all other geometries I feel (based on my results as I explained above). Could it be a simulator issue (I don't think so)? Fast response will be appreciated. Thanks

A: You seem to have some confusion about how the glVertexAttribPointer functions are supposed to work. When you call glVertexAttribPointer, it tells OpenGL:

On the next draw call, render starting from the address of the currently bound buffer plus the provided buffer offset.

After this, it doesn't matter if you change what buffer is bound, because the pointer still points to the buffer that was bound at the time of the function call.
Therefore in this code:
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, [pieOne.pie getIndicesSize], GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (void*)0);

Calling glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER) does absolutely nothing here, because you're not updating the pointer.
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
//need to set glVertexAttribPointers here
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, [pieOne.pie getIndicesSize], GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (void*)0);

Q: Convert Table to Text with Spaces I've come across this several times in a couple years of programming so I decided to do some research to see if it was possible. Often I create data structures in code that are initialized in a table like manner, with rows and columns, and I would have liked to have this table-to-text feature for code readability. How can you create a table in word, or excel, or some other program, and output the cells of the table to text, with spaces (not tabs)? Word can do it with tabs, and excel can do it with misaligned spaces. Is there any program out there that automates this?

A: Have you tried using a monospace font, such as courier, when you export from excel? Most fonts will adjust spacing based on the specific width, height and kerning of each character but a monospace font will allow you to use spaces for alignment.
As for converting tabs to spaces automagically, there must be 100s if not 1000s of methods, apps, commands available out there.

A: I spent an hour or 2 researching this. I experimented with excel and word and they both came so close to exact solution that it made me crazy. I tried other programs online but with no luck. Here's my solution, Microsoft's Word's Table-To-Text feature and custom C# program that converts the Word-tabified text to column aligned text with spaces and not tabs.
1) Put your columns and rows in an MS Word Table
2) Convert table to text with tabs (look up how to do this)
3) Save the converted table to a plain text file
4) Use my program to open and convert the file
5) Copy the text in the output file to your code

Sunset Textured Fine Art Paper is a natural-white art paper with a textured print surface that can add a more painterly look to photographic prints and art reproductions. It can add surface dimension and visual interest to paintings and images that consist mainly of bold, loose strokes instead of intricate details.
LexJet Sunset Textured Fine Art Paper can be used on many pigment and dye ink printers from Canon, Epson, and HP. Color profiles are available for many models.
Getting a glimpse into Michael Macone's world is a crafty art-lover's dream. Macone runs The Potter's Shed in Shell Lake, Wis., a cool art gallery-meets cafe-meets do-it-yourself art space-meets music venue. "It's 50,000 square feet of art fun," he says.
Software Settings The coating on this product is engineered for better than 300% ink coverage. A heavy-weight coated, or Enhanced Matte paper setting is the appropriate starting point. However, we recommend that you try different settings to achieve optimum performance for your specific application.
Light Fastness The fading time of ink jet ink is a direct result of the inks that you choose, as well as the environment where the print is displayed. All dye-based inks fade noticeably under direct sunlight and in interior applications where direct sunlight may fall on the image, and/or, where fluorescent or other UV lighting is present. Although the fading process is inherent in all ink jet inks, certain UV enhanced inks, pigment-based inks, and UV inhibiting coatings will extend the longevity of ink color. Contact the ink manufacturer to determine a specific ink's suitability for a particular application. LexJet's Sunset line of fine art materials all meet the Fine Art Trade Guild Standards for Limited Edition Prints (otherwise knows as the Blue Wool 6 test).


If you are a traveler and love to visit new places, Fredericksburg Virginia is chalk full of food culture and couture history. I mean who doesn't want to visit the stomping grounds of George Washington! For me, it's a great way to truly get to know a new place; figure out what makes it tick. I love that feeling of discovery, and when I'm wowed…well that's even better.
I've had the chance to truly take in all that Fredericksburg has to offer, as I have family and friends that live in the area. Over the span of many years, I've had the joy of touring, tasting, and traversing Fredericksburg to great length.
The very first president of our beautiful nation, George Washington not only grew up near Fredericksburg Virginia, but had a vision of a great and powerful nation that would be built on republican lines using federal power. He sought to use the national government to preserve liberty, improve infrastructure, open western lands, give a pulse to commerce, found a permanent capital, and promote a spirit of American nationalism. Fredericksburg is immersed in this very spirit and vision.
Check out Potomac Point Winery, George Washington's childhood home at Ferry Farm or take a walking tour of rustic downtown Fredericksburg–of which I have personally indulged in some serious shopping and eating. It's an area plucked out of time; preserved with a touch of class, drizzled with urban culture, and topped off with an amazing food scene.
A hidden gem that showcases Fredericksburg's great food scene is Brock's Riverside Grill. Located at 503 Sophia Street, it is perfectly situated downtown, right on the Rappahannock River.
What makes Brock's so unique is their distinction for creating a fun space with pairing events and cuisine. They are passionate about food, wine, and creating an inviting atmosphere. A great example of this is touted in how the staff is trained. On a random uneventful day, we're talking a rainy Monday when many other places were closed, my husband and I stopped in to Brock's. We were greeted with great craft beer, lightly coated calamari (literally greeting us, as if it knew we were coming in to eat it) and wonderful conversation with the general manager. Management is so passionate about their food and wine pairings, they arrived early that day and conducted a wine training with staff for an upcoming event. They take their events seriously and go to great lengths to make them fun, festive and delectable.
Check out their smokin' ribs and live music on Thursday nights, happy hour with friends and great burgers Monday through Thursday, a craft beer list that will make any beer connoisseur salivate, or truly tantalizing wines that can be purchased to take home with 33% off the menu price.
Brock's St. Louis style ribs and Chicken Tortilla Soup are both worth bragging about, but so are their specials. Five star cuisine such as spinach & goat cheese stuffed pork roulade over roasted red potatoes and rainbow carrots with a dijon cream sauce, or their lemon, herb, and garlic marinated Red Snapper over garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed asparagus. Can you say yum!
But let's not forget the "special" events that Brock's hosts. From wine pairing menu nights to the Bartender's Battle Royal (which starts soon and culminates in a liquor slingin' showdown May 9th), Brock's not only serves good food, but packages it in a brag worthy, welcoming atmosphere.

Nothing To Lose: Biden Goes Ballistic On Gun Control As Popularity Tanks
Does anybody really like Joe Biden? The media and Democrats propped him up as some kind of hero in 2020. But anyone with half a brain (that's more than what Joe has) can see he was a stooge. Democrat voters rallied behind him, not because they believed in him, but because he was not Donald Trump.
But already Americans are regretting their choice. They are watching as Biden's plans have tanked the economy, destroyed the border, and contributed to painful inflation. Biden, unwilling to see the light, wants to push even more spending that will put us in the hole for years to come.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that Biden's approval is rapidly declining.
Joe Biden's approval numbers have been steadily declining of late — and some pollsters see worse to come for the president.
"It's not a good sign for Joe Biden," said Republican pollster Jim McLaughlin of McLaughlin & Associates. "What we're seeing right now are approval numbers in the low 50s … and the intensity level is only about 32% of people say they strongly approve of the job he is doing." [Source: Just the News]
Across nearly every poll, Biden's approval is steadily going down. That even includes left-leaning polls that tend to oversample Democrats. Americans are clearly not happy with how Biden is governing. A serous change in policy is required for Biden to recapture the interest and support of some Americans.
So, what does he do? Propose tax cuts? Negotiate better trade deals? Fix the border? Nope! He is set to announce more gun control laws!
President Joe Biden will renew the gun control push at the federal level during his Wednesday speech on crime.
The Associated Press reports that Biden's speech will contain a mix of new executive orders and renewed calls for "Congress to pass gun legislation."
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that although the focus of the speech will be on crime, guns will also be a "big part" of it.
She said that Biden is focused on "putting in place gun safety measures … using the bully pulpit but also using levers at his disposal as president." [Source: Breitbart]
Wow, this guy really is an idiot, huh? In 2020 alone, there were millions of first-time gun buyers. America's love of gun ownership is not going away any time soon. Countless citizens want to own and responsibly use firearms to defend their homes. Not to mention those who consider it a sport and form of recreation.
Naturally, Joe Biden would make it a priority to rip guns from Americans' hands.
Does this guy have any clue what is going on in this country? Or does he just look at the agenda the far left gives him and goes off that?
America is suffering thanks to a rise in crime and the defunding of police. Yet Biden is pushing a move that will contribute to more crime. Gun control will not stop criminals from breaking the law. But it will ensure Americans are unable to protect themselves, should the worst happen.
But there is a silver lining in all this nonsense. The harder Joe Biden pushes for gun control, the more conservative states push back. In recent months, we've seen many red states pass new laws protecting the 2nd Amendment. Texas became the 21st Constitutional carry state. Other states have declared themselves sanctuaries from federal gun laws.
If Biden is stupid enough to push gun control, he's in for one hell of a fight.

Romney's $10,000 bet will define him, just as his father was defined by his "brainwashed" comment
Posted on December 11, 2011 by Marc Jampole — No Comments ↓
I'm betting that Mitt Romney gave his campaign for the Republican nomination a deadly wound in last night's umpteenth debate between the Republican candidates to face President Obama in November 2012.
It doesn't matter if Mitt or Texas Rick was right in their latest little spat over facts. What matters is that by so smugly offering to put $10,000 on the line to back up his assertion, Mitt Romney reminded us in a shockingly brutal manner of the very thing we hate and fear about him: that he was born a one-percenter and then got richer.
In my experience and the experience of most Americans, when most people are so certain of their assertion that they are willing to bet on it, they throw out an amount like ten bucks, twenty bucks, fifty bucks.
But only a child, someone who has a major gambling problem or someone who is really rich would say $10,000 and mean it as Mitt did last night.
Survey after survey is now showing that people are fed up with the current economic regime under which, in good times and bad, the richest one percent get richer and everyone else loses ground. Romney is a one-percenter and he looks like the archetype of a one-percenter. He earned his impressive fortune by doing Wall Street deals that often led to massive layoffs. He often raided good companies for fees, sold them off and sat counting his money while his former corporate wards went into bankruptcy. All if this will surely go through the minds of many people every time they think of Romney's proposed bet.
The fact that Perry handled it so perfectly only made matters worse for Romney. "I'm not in the betting business" was the right thing to say, the only sane thing to say. And it came from good old country boy Texas Rick. The contrast between Perry and Romney's rich boy's bankerly prep boy manner is so obvious on every level because we have seen this kind of behavior from these two archetypes in hundreds of movies and TV shows about the old west and small towns. One version has them at a poker table and Mitt is trying to buy the pot. In another, Mitt wants to hire the socially awkward straight shooter to run people off their farms. In these movie, the Perry character always plays the hero. It was Perry's finest moment in the campaign by virtue of it being his only fine moment.
As to Romney, I am convinced that he cooked his campaign's goose in one arrogant and grandiose gesture. I predict that the groundswell of disgust over Romney's comment will outlive the news day and define his campaign. Seeing that his competition is the corrupt and hypocritical Newt Gingrich, it's still possible that Romney could win the nomination. I just don't see it, though. Unless Jon Huntsman's dad manages to buy the New Hampshire primary, it looks like the Newt. But even if Mitt does win the nomination, I can't see independents or conservative Democrats voting for a guy who would intimidate his opponent with money during a debate. And I believe that a large horde of poor and rural Republicans will sit on their hands rather than vote for the rich boy.
It's very possible that "You wanna bet" will be the quote of the campaign, similar to Reagan's "Are you better off than four years ago?" quote of 1980 or Lloyd Bentson's zing of Dan Quayle in 1988, "I knew Jack Kennedy and you're no Jack Kennedy."
My favorite quote that defined a campaign came in 1968, when Mitt's Dad, George Romney, went from front runner to nobody in the Republican campaign in a matter of days for saying that he previously supported the Viet Nam War because he had been "brainwashed" during his trips over there. Nobody wants a brainwashed President.
Now the American people (if I may be so bold as to speak for them) don't mind having a rich man serve as president and often elect them—both Bushes, Jimmy Carter, Jack Kennedy, FDR, we can go back to Washington, Adams and Jefferson, three of the wealthiest men of their time. We just don't like the rich to rub our noses in it, especially now when it seems that every day brings greater proof that the economic and tax policies of the past 30 years have led to the largest transfer of wealth in recorded history, the money flowing from the poor and the middle class directly into the pockets of the richest one percent of the population.
So at the end of the day, Mitt is following in his father's tracks. Both men were among the most successful corporate leaders in the dominant industry of the time. Both served as governor of a big northern state. And now it looks as if both will be failed presidential candidates remembered for ruining his big chance with one foolish comment.
Yes, I'm betting that Romney will lose now. But I'm not going to put any money on it.

Space to Grow Benefits Extend Beyond the Schoolyard
The positive effects of a transformed schoolyard can be seen in the smiles of schoolchildren as they play on the playground equipment and turf fields. But we also wanted to measure the improvement in these schoolyards—and how they were benefitting the students and the community.
For that, we partnered with researchers at Loyola University of Chicago and the University of California's Nutrition Policy Institute to assess the usage and benefit of Space to Grow schoolyards at Morrill, Grissom and Cather elementary schools.
Space to Grow is transforming Chicago schoolyards into vibrant spaces that support kids, communities and the environment. The program is co-managed by Healthy Schools Campaign and Openlands. Capital funding and expertise comes from Chicago Public Schools, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago and the Chicago Department of Water Management. Each Space to Grow schoolyard gets a $1.5 million transformation, and every space uses special surfaces and design elements—such as rain gardens and permeable pavers—to capture rainwater and help reduce neighborhood flooding during the heaviest of storms.
The research team found that schoolyards were highly used by students, teachers and community members. Observations and reports determined schoolyards to be a safe place for children to play and have positive social interactions and engage in physical activity.
The study also found schoolyards provide academic and behavioral benefits. Teachers reported using the new schoolyard as an extension of the classroom for a wide variety of lessons and activities. The survey also found fewer injuries, less teasing and bullying and less gang activity on the new schoolyards.
The study also found that schoolyards promote a more positive relationship between the schools and community. In many cases, community members have stepped up to care for schoolyards—including the gardens—during times when school is out of session. Community-level data showed a rise in home prices in all neighborhoods after the opening of the Space to Grow schoolyards.
We're so excited the data backs up what we already know: Healthy students are better learners. We're also thrilled that the Space to Grow schoolyards are positively benefiting the communities in which they're built. We're looking forward to building five more schoolyards this coming year!

Then, our design teams worked hard... More
Sharing Chicago's Space to Grow Model
Green schoolyards, like the ones built by the Space to Grow partners, are a significant community asset, providing many benefits for communities around the country.

When our heart centers are open and functioning as the guiding focus of our lives, we are able to live lives that are love based and are optimally functional. However, over the course of each of our lives, various traumas and stressors cause parts of us to become disconnected and dissociated from this central focal point of connection. These disconnections are what we experience as the emotional, psychological, physical, social and spiritual problems that may disrupt our lives and can cause so much turmoil and suffering. Reestablishing the central role of the heart and reconnecting the dissociated parts leads to a restoration of health and a return to optimal functioning.
People exist on multiple levels or planes of existence.
We are generally most familiar with the physical level of our existence: our physical bodies built up from the essence of matter—atoms. However, we also exist on other planes of being. The Energetic Plane, for example, incorporates the meridian and chakra systems. Other planes of importance include the Electromagnetic Plane, the Spiritual Plane, the Plane of Beliefs, the Plane of Sacred Geometry, as well as many others. A problem that we see manifested on the physical plane also involves disruptions and imbalances on multiple other planes. A problem must be healed and integrated on all the various levels where it exists in order to achieve complete healing. In order to do this successfully, it is necessary for our consciousnesses to be fully integrated with our bodies. Leaving the body during stress is a commonly employed coping strategy of the unconscious; although, most people aren't aware that they do so. Effective and efficient healing is difficult at best to accomplish if the person is not well integrated with their body. Techniques that allow for this integration and also take into consideration clearing on all the planes of existence seem necessary so the problem will not return in one form or another.
In order to experience optimal health and healing, people have to let go of the illusion of control and surrender to the Divine.
We all have connections to the Divine whether or not we are aware of them. Universal healing power flows from this Divine Source and is available to all of us at all times. By allowing this powerful loving force to orchestrate the sequence and the timing of the various phases of healing, the result is gentle, thorough and relatively quick. However, most people have significant subconscious blocks to accessing this power to heal themselves. The Renaissance of the Heart Healing practitioner acts as a catalyst to help break through a client's specific blocks to accessing this universal healing power. In essence, the healing practitioner becomes a partner with the client to remove each successive block and to assist in manifesting the desired result and restoration of health.


Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi classic probes the mysteries of space and human destiny. While investigating the appearance of mysterious monoliths throughout the universe, astronauts David and Frank battle their ship's intelligent computer, HAL-9000.
Parents need to know that this is an eye-opening experience for older children, with much to ponder and push teens to a greater appreciation of the mystery of life and the universe. They should also be aware that this classic is slow-moving and it could lose audiences expecting a fast-paced sci-fi movie in a spaceship. Patience and a willingness to fall into the suspense of the film are necessary.
Characters in peril and some are killed.

On January 10, 1928, at the home of Mrs. Florence Baker, the Camden Women's Literary Club voted to start a public library. The club set 1938, the Golden Anniversary of the Club, for achieving this goal. Money was raised, and books were donated from the Nettie Rice Estate, and also from Clara Lennon.
The first Board of Trustees appointed consisted of the following members: Dr. Eva Kennedy, Mrs. J.C. Yunker, and Mrs. Effie Wyatt. The first book committee members were Mrs. Harold Baker, Mrs. Vurpillat, and Mrs. Nelle Quinn.
On March 10th, 1929, at the Vurpillat Pharmacy, the Camden Library was presented to Camden by Mrs. Flora Cripe, president of the Literary Club. Mr. Stangle, president of the Community Club, accepted it for the town.
Mrs. Vurpillat was the first Librarian. The library was moved from the back of the pharmacy to the town hall room at the back of Johnson's store, which was also called Camden Grocery and Meats. For the next ten years, the library was maintained by the Women's Literary Club. In 1938, the year of the Club's Golden Anniversary Celebration, the library became a tax supported enterprise.
In 1950, the library was moved to the town building, formerly known as the Center Garage. In 1969, the library board purchased the brick building on the corner of Main and Monroe Streets. The home was originally built by Mr. A. J. Thomas in 1869. The library was moved to this location in 1970. In 1984, the Andrew Thomas house was included in the National Registry of Historic Places. The Library occupies the building's first floor, while the second floor houses the Camden Town Museum.
