IWHS Breast Cancer Awareness Activities
October is unanimously known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and during this month information is distributed to educate the community on this disease that affects so many women. It is critical that women have their annual mammogram but some women who are uninsured or unfunded don't always think that mammograms are an option for them. Fortunately CHRISTUS Santa Rosa has a mobile mammography unit that provides free mammograms to those women who are not able to get them otherwise.
Throughout the school year, IWHS will raise money for those who are in need of the services provided by CHRISTUS Santa Rosa by selling pink, "I believe" shirts for $12.00 thorugh the IWHS Athletic Dept. All the proceeds will benefit CHRISTUS Santa Rosa mobile mammography program.
Each sport will hold a breast cancer awareness event and the athletes will wear pink and encourage fans to wear the "I believe" shirt to show support for the women of San Antonio and our IWHS athletes dedicated to helping our community.
Event dates are:
Oct. 19- Cross Country Meet @ Texas Lutheran University TBA
Oct. 25- Swimming Meet @ San Antonio Natatorium TBA

Three weeks ago, the annual Run for Women was as good as dead.
Cancelled quietly, the 33-year-old event might just have disappeared, had it not been for a chance meeting.
Gordie Garriock on Saturday said she happened to run into Vi Turner, who has run in every Run for Women since it began in earnest in 1980.
"She mentioned how disappointed she was that the run had been cancelled," Garriock said on Saturday. "I was shocked. I hadn't heard that it was. And I started to think about it, I made a few phone calls and the morning was still available," she said.
"I phoned a few of the volunteers that had worked with me from 1980 to 2000. Everybody said let's do it. I didn't really realize how crazy we were to think we could do it in two-and-a-half weeks. But it's been amazing. Everyone's been so helpful."
Lo and behold, despite temperatures would even be unwelcome in March in Thunder Bay, nearly 150 runners and walkers were on hand to take part in the event, which is more about raising awareness for fitness in women, this year with a special focus on cardiovascular health.
"We just wanted to keep it going this year and next year we'll start planning earlier."
Garriock said it was too great an event, which in 1994 had 3,700 participants, to let it slip away unnoticed.
"So many women have participated, of all ages, from 16 up until 90. So many women have volunteered – and men, we can't do this event without men, they're a huge help to us."
The race was originally begun after women's fitness levels dropped after age 16. It was part of the community fitness campaign, Garriock said.
"That's still important today. We have the highest cardiovascular disease in Ontario and we're one of the top three in Canada. So we have to get moving, we have to be fit, we have to take responsibility for our own health – everybody, our families, our husbands, all the important people in our lives."
This is exactly why Turner wanted to make sure the Run for Women continued its legacy.
"It's the beginning of a lifestyle for people who have never thought of doing anything healthy. They start to walk and it leads them into other activities to keep their health into better condition than it would if they sat home on the couch."

Finally!My husband's family was thrilled to learn that he and I were expecting a baby girl. And not because little girls are sugar and spice and everything nice, because it was completely novel. His entire family is made up of boys. Okay, not his entire family, but it certainly seems that way. Every time someone gets pregnant, it always winds up being with a male. It's almost comical. So, needless to say, our little girl-to-be is a welcome change for all.
However, my husband's male-dominated clan has nothing on the Craddock family -- who, until a few weeks ago, hadn't had a single female baby in 150 years!
On March 6, Mali and Simon Craddock gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Poppy (love!). The couple already has a son, Oliver, 1, and with Oliver, they waited to find out the sex -- but with Poppy, they just couldn't.
Once they found out they were having a girl, the Craddocks revealed the good news at a big party for their family and friends -- they even had a gender-revealing cake. Adorable. Obviously, the couple is thrilled.
Having a child is always amazing -- boy or girl. But things always get a teensy more exciting when the sex of the child is one that's kind of foreign to the family. (Full disclosure: I'm thrilled I'm having a girl -- but my entire family is girls. I would have been SHOCKED if I learned I was having a boy!)
So, Congrats to Mali and Simon Craddock on their beautiful little girl, Poppy -- the first little girl in the family for over a century! I have a feeling that will be one spoiled (pink!) baby!
Is one sex more common than the other in your family?
Image via Amazon
My husband's family has a lot of boys. We have three of our own and love it.
This is a cute and fun post. We have a lot of males also. I have one granddaughter after two sons, three nephews and a slew of boy cousins. My grandma had 5 sons and of those five sons and 13 kids, only 4 of us are girls. Boys are wonderful and I love my boys but it sure is fun to buy some pink now.
My grandmother had 10 daughters...no son
How cute!! it's the man who dictated the sex isn't it? It thought it was that way, i.e If your husband's family is composed of mostly male, your chances of a baby boy are greater.... same goes for multiple births...
Does anyone know more about this?
My mom had 5 girls and 4 boys. Between us kids there is a pretty even mix of boys and girls. I think I have just under 30 neices and nephews. I have 3 boyos myself and while I would desparately like to have a daughter I also like having some of my sanity so no trying for #4.
only 1 boy in our family out of 4 girls but nothing like 150 years
Men determine gender - but women's genetics determine fraternal multiples. Identical multiples are totally random.

Unprecendented Need for the EECWS continues 04/02/2014

EXTREME EMERGENCY COLD WEATHER SHELTER Volunteers and donations still urgently needed to sustain the EECWS's operations
Volunteers and donations still urgently needed to sustain the EECWS's operations
Springfield, MO (February 04, 2014) - Record numbers of individuals continue to rely on The Salvation Army's Extreme Emergency Cold Weather Shelter.
The Extreme Emergency Cold Weather Shelter, or EECWS, will be open through at least overnight Thursday February 6th, but could likely remain open through the weekend due to the bitterly cold temperatures.
To date, 415 individuals have sought shelter at The Salvation Army's Extreme Emergency Cold Weather Shelter during the 40 days it has been open. This number has surpassed last year's total by nearly 200 individuals.
"We are now in great need of the community's support to help us continue to help the individuals who are coming to us for emergency shelter," Major Norman Grainger, Corps Officer, said. "The Salvation Army exists in this community for this very reason, but we are facing an unprecedented situation and because of that truly need the community's help."
Additional volunteers are still urgently needed to assist staff with checking in clients, obtaining client information, monitoring shelter operations, distributing bedding & hygiene items, recording client statistics, providing meals and other duties as needed.
"Volunteers play a vital role in allowing us to provide this life-saving assistance program to the community," Audrey Esther, Community Relations Director, said.
EECWS volunteers are needed primarily from 6 pm until 8 am at The Salvation Army's main location - 1707 W. Chestnut Expressway - when the EECWS is activated. Previous volunteer or professional experience in the areas of social service work, psychology, criminal justice, or other related fields would be beneficial, but is not required.
"It would be very challenging, if not impossible, to operate this program without volunteers," Esther said.
The Salvation Army activates its Extreme Emergency Cold Weather Shelter when the National Weather Service forecasts a wind chill of 14 degrees or below or there appears to be significant need in the community to activate the shelter. EECWS clients are provided with a cot to sleep on during the night, a hot breakfast in the morning and access to shower facilities.
"Many of the individuals seeking shelter at the Emergency Cold Weather Shelter have absolutely nowhere else to go," Grainger said.
For more information about applying to be an Extreme Emergency Cold Weather Shelter volunteer please call 862-5509 ext. 116 or email firstname.lastname@example.com y.org.
Those interested in volunteering will need to complete all volunteer forms as well as undergo a thorough background check.
The Emergency Cold Weather Shelter is just one of The Salvation Army's many local shelter and housing programs. Every single night, The Salvation Army provides shelter or housing for an average of 70 local individuals through programs such as the Family Enrichment Center, New Start Housing, and Harbor House.
The Salvation Army's year-round programs and services are made possible in part through donations received during the annual Tree of Lights Christmas Campaign.
Currently, The Salvation Army remains approximately $29,000 short of reaching its Tree of Lights Christmas Campaign fundraising goal. The funds raised during the annual Tree of Lights Christmas Campaign allow The Salvation Army to provide much-needed programs and services to thousands of local residents all year long.

Some ASU students still waiting for dorm space
PHOENIX -- With just two days to go before Arizona State University starts its school year, two dozen students were still waiting for their permanent housing on the Phoenix campus.
Two weeks ago, the university put up 120 students at the Westin Hotel downtown, because their nearby dorm, Taylor Place, was overbooked. Now, the list is down to 26.
"ASU has a policy that they guarantee housing for all freshmen that apply, so it's not as if we can turn people away," said Marshall Terrill, spokesman for the Phoenix campus.
ASU expects the remaining students to be moved into Taylor Place within two weeks.

Google's photo booth is a smash hit at DNC
The search giant's photo booth is one of the most popular attractions in Charlotte this week.
By Joe Deaux
The most popular attraction at the Democratic National Convention has been around since your grandparents' high school days: A photo booth.
The Google (GOOG) photo booth has been a smash hit among delegates, thanks to the technology-enhanced twist it puts on the original concept. The search giant's version takes four photographs of a person, emails the images to them and displays the pictures on the massive screen inside the Time Warner Cable Arena here in Charlotte.
A constant stream of convention attendees have been anxiously waiting in line for upwards of 30 minutes in a corner of the arena to sit inside a small booth for three minutes and pose for the portraits, which can also be posted to Google+, the company's social networking site.
Manning the booth is Matthew Rechs, an employee of privately held Photoboof, the San Francisco-based company that provided Google the structure for its booth.
Rechs said Photoboof created the Microsoft Windows-based program that displays a Barack Obama campaign logo in the background. The company distributes a hard copy of any photos taken, and even built the booth -- which is a solid structure that can break down into four pieces for easy mobility.
Google pays Photoboof a fee to set up the vendor inside the arena, and Photoboof's service expands the search giant's reach among users, said Rechs.
The fee varies. For weddings, Rechs said Photoboof typically charges a flat $1,300 for the whole day -- the amount of hours doesn't matter.
When asked how much the company is charging Google for each day at the convention, Rechs said he isn't sure, but that it's higher than a wedding fee.
On Wednesday, the Google booth hosted more than 500 sessions -- it's called sessions because each photo can be taken with more than one person. So if four people go in at once, it is called a session instead of one turn.
Each session involves a three-step process: first, the user poses for four individual snapshots. Next, the user selects whether he wants to have the photo emailed. Then, the user chooses to have the photo uploaded to the Google+ arena television. Finally, the booth distributes a card with the Google+ logo above large portrait and four thumbnails of all pictures taken in the session; the bottom of the card reads "2012 Democratic National Convention."
Of those 500 sessions, Rechs said that 287 sessions selected "yes" to have their photos uploaded to the screen.
How did Google come to partner with Photoboof? Rechs said one of the founders got a good break.
Photoboof started at Burning Man -- an event held in Black Rock Desert in Nevada -- as its founder drove around on a "meter maid" cart with a camera and a screen set up. He would snap photos of passersby from the cart. The idea was a hit, Rechs said, when a company picked up a Photoboof for a function. Google eventually heard about the company and partnered up with them.
As Rechs describedthe brief history of Photoboof, a woman emerged from the structure and admired her photo.
"This is so much fun! It's exciting," the woman said as she darted off down the hall.
Rechs said he attends to every person that steps into the booth and reminds them to smile and have fun. He said he he travels all over the country for functions. And with one man comes the responsibility of knowing everything about the photo booth -- programming the software, constructing it and even driving around town to get parts if something breaks.
"Photoboof promotes creativity, which draws me in. If it was a job...," Rechs paused, grinned then scampered to the booth to help another user pose for her Google+ portrait.

Beginning farmers start small. USDA data shows that 96% of farms run by farmers with 10 years or less experience have annual gross revenues less than 250,000. The average achieve net income to US farms is 10% of sales, and so is less than 25,000 for almost all beginning farms. Beginning farmers face many challenges: They are less likely than established farms to inherit land or buy it from a relative; less likely to receive government payments; and more likely to have difficulty obtaining credit and financing land purchases. And now the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is piling on new challenges in the form of its proposed regulations implementing the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
According to the FDA, the average annual cost to comply with FSMA's produce safety rules for farms grossing less than 250,000 per year will be 6% of revenue. Do the math, and then ask yourself why anyone would choose to start farming—to endure 12+ hour days, have an extra job off the farm, face crop loss risk—when the federal government is promising to take more than half the profits. It may be the understatement of the year when FDA, in an economic impact analysis, says that "the rate of entry of very small and small [farm] businesses will decrease" as a result of the produce rules.
Just as overwhelming is the companion proposed rule on fresh produce handling and other food processing. This rule treats local food hubs the same as 499-employee manufacturing plants, with disproportionate requirements for record-keeping and sanitization. Even though firms with 20 or fewer employees produce just 4% of the processed food sold in the US, those size firms with bear 73% of the cost of implementing FSMA's preventive controls, according to FDA's own analysis.
In other words, the food hub movement will also be shut down by FSMA, cutting off a critical market channel that allows farmers to scale-up while retaining a significant share of the value of their crops. And beginning farmers are especially vulnerable to the loss of this sales outlet.
Other hazards in the rule–
- if you apply raw manure to a field, you'll have to wait 9 months before harvesting any crops from that field.
- if you irrigate with surface waters, you'll have to test that water once per week, or treat it with chemicals.
- if you grow crops in a hoophouse, you'll have to keep the floors clean!
- if you are a food hub and you put labels on bags of raw produce, you are a 'manufacturing' facility.
We are not the only ones concerned about all this. Former USDA Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan, a champion of local food and organic farming, stated in a recent speech that the FSMA rules have the potential to "destroy some operations."
If we are to change this dangerous trajectory, we have to speak out. Food safety crusaders are running a well-funded campaign to clamor for even more stringent rules, despite the devastating impacts it will have on producers of healthy local foods. The deadline for comments on the rules is Sept. 16, so we've got just three months to make our voices heard.
TAKE ACTION - Comment on the FDA Proposed Rules Today
Together, we can prevent this train wreck, and ensure that local, organic agriculture—and beginning farmers—can continue to grow and thrive, and feed our nation healthier, better food.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 27 (HealthDay News) The flashbacks experienced
by people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are associated
with heightened activity on the right side of the brain, a new
study finds.
In research that included 80 people with PTSD (many of them U.S.
combat veterans), 18 PTSD patients in remission and 284 people
without the condition, researchers used a technique called MEG
(magnetoencephalography) to detect magnetic charges given off when
neurons in the brain connect and communicate.
Participants were asked to wear a MEG helmet while concentrating
on a spot 65 centimeters in front of them for 60 seconds. Compared
with the healthy "controls," the PTSD patients showed "hyperactive"
communication between the temporal cortex -- the part of the brain
thought to be responsible for reliving past experiences -- and two
other areas on the right side of the brain.
The PTSD patients in remission had similar but less pronounced
brain activity as those with PTSD.
This "hyperactive" brain state occurred even though the PTSD
patients, and all the other participants, were in a relaxed state
while undergoing MEG.
"Remarkably, the differences we found between the PTSD and the control groups were documented in a task-free state," the researchers wrote. They added that in people with PTSD, the right hemisphere was overactive even when individuals were not reliving a traumatic experience.
The study -- conducted by the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs
Medical Center and the University of Minnesota -- appears in the
Oct. 28 issue of the
Journal of Neural Engineering.

Why yes, you read the title right: Shape Shifters! I know, I have been watching way too many vampire, walking dead, sci-fi sorts of things but bare with me here: Have you ever met someone who seemed to "me too" you too many times? You know, the people who want so badly to find common ground with you. They start to make it seem as if you were practically switched at birth or something! It can be quite odd and a little creepy, to be honest.
Imagine how it feels to find out the person you are dating is a lot like that. I call them shape shifters. They bend, contort, and distort their actual lives, personality, and behavior so that the person they are dating thinks they are soul mates. Listen to this PSA people: Never, ever, ever stay in a relationship with a shape shifter.
The minute their actual personality starts to seep through, will freak you out. You start to recall blatant lies they told you. You find out they are the polar opposite of what they represented. Even if

Fourteen films, archived for over fifty years, are making their debut on the new Dudley Observatory YouTube Channel today. The fascinating visuals of early astronomical documentaries and research materials will delight scientists and historians as well as the general public. To access the channel, go to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCExE2X58CRKN_GoSKtdQIzA. Highlights include: Trip to the Moon, The Mystery of Stonehenge, Adirondack Visions, and The Sikhote-Aline Meteorite.
"These short films enable easy access to important, and in their time, ground-breaking experiments made by Dudley astronomers, such as Curtis Hemenway's rocket launches," said Elissa Kane, interim executive director. "These 14 selections show the breadth of the archive – from raw footage in the field to educational films produced mid-century. Our collection is huge, and it is our intention to release new items to the channel regularly in our role as the Capital District's Astronomy Resource."
In addition to the new YouTube channel, the Dudley Observatory hosts and co-sponsors internships, professional development, school and community educational experiences, and star gazing in local rural locations where viewing is best.
The Dudley Observatory was chartered in 1852, and is currently housed at miSci, in Schenectady, New York. It is the oldest organization in the U.S. outside of academia and government dedicated to the support of astronomical research, and continues to serve the Capital Region through educational programs such as star parties, inflatable planetarium programs, and astronomy program partnerships.
We wish to thank the following for their generous support of these programs!
- Stewart's Shops
- Times Union
- "Hope Fund" of The Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region
We were chartered by the State of New York in 1852, is the oldest independent organization in the United States supporting research and education in astronomy and the history of astronomy. Our library contains one of the world's finest collections of historically significant astronomical texts, including rare books of Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler. The Dudley Observatory Archives is a fascinating collection of historical records pertaining to both astronomy and Albany.
The Dudley Observatory was founded through the generosity of those who saw our Capital Region as an economic and intellectual center, the "Tech Valley" of its day. In the last 150 years, the Dudley Observatory has periodically changed the focus of its work to reflect the needs of the community.
During the 20th century, Dudley Observatory astronomers achieved world class status with their accurate determination of the positions and motions of more than 30,000 stars. These observations form the sole example in the history of astronomy of the precise position and proper motion determination of all stars visible to the unaided eye with a single high precision telescope.
The current focus of the Dudley Observatory is on using astronomy to promote science education, with an emphasis on education, recruitment and early career development in science and technology. We have enjoyed a great deal of success with projects that fire the imaginations of the young, nurture them through the early stages of career development, and instill a life-long appreciation and enjoyment of science.

All remaining notes are now being written up into my final report. This blog is to serve as an archive for the earlier development of the project.
For more recent updates and information please visit the SumAntics website.
Apologies for the lack of these, there's been various developments in different areas but none are complete as yet so I'd rather save it all for a longer explanation.
In one of my previous posts I mentioned about errors visible on the video screengrab. The first attempt to combine bluetooth, web search and image search resulted in this error concerning the image search code:
Basically, (and rather frustratingly) the image no longer exists, though Yahoo is still indexing it in their results - this results in the Processing app throwing out the error when it has no image to print and doesn't know what to do.
I hadn't spotted this error earlier as when I was testing the yahooImage search, I was using single word phrases such as 'thomas' and 'volkswagen' which returned a large number of (i assume reliable) results. The test combined with bluetooth queried "graeme old phone" which has only 7 yahoo image results (as opposed to over 1 million google image results, but I'll discuss that later) with the 2nd one of those being one that no longer existed: (from yahoo image search in browser)
Additional code was necessary for the application to check if the image still existed before it displayed it. This operation was achieved with the NetUtil.exists() function, part of the Switchboard library.
This has prevented any further errors of this kind, and this function will likely be used again to ensure no old or expired links are used.
Through my last problem it became clear that I needed more than the one mobile phone I had been previously testing bluetooth on. As I've previously mentioned my personal iPhone is relatively useless for testing so I used 2 of my flatmates mobiles in addition to the normal K750i test device:
(left to right)
I noticed some differences in how quick the processing application was to recognize name changes of a device, if at all (the C902 required bluetooth to be switched on/off for the change to be recognised).
This is something I need to research in greater detail and ideally get some reasonably scientific results of update times and observations. I would also like to test out more modern smartphone devices likely to be used by my potential audience.
Through previous testing I noticed that the device name of my test phone (see this post) always resulted in 'Graeme old phone' in processing, despite me changing the name of the device a couple of times. Initially I put this down to the age of the device and although seemingly reliable was not updating it's device name correctly. It was moreso highlighted when testing another phone - instead of the device name it displayed the model code 'C902' (the phone was a Sony Ericsson C902) - so I became suspicious that the Processing application was not reading the device name correctly.
To test this I ran bluetoothview software I had previously tested (see these posts) as it displayed all data available about detected devices,.
As the processing application always displayed 'Graeme Old Phone', it was obvious it was choosing to display the Device Description rather than Device Name. This was confirmed by additional testing of the Sony Ericsson C902 as mentioned before, which displayed Device Name = Alex and Device Description = C902.
This was initially quite a worrying decision as I'd been heavily relying on the bluetoothDesktop library within processing, and in reflection is an issue I should have looked at sooner. I checked over the code of the early bluetooth detection versions I'd used (as the bluetooth code was near identical in the later more complex apps with websearches) and could see no explanation for the program to choose the device description instead of the name.
This meant I had to delve deeper, into the java code of the bluetoothDesktop library. I was skeptical I would be able to do much as I know very little about the inner workings of libraries, but scanning over the code of the 'device' file I noticed a search command which initiated through an array of '…SERVICENAME, SERVICEDESC (highlighted below), PROVIDENAME'
I removed the latter 2 strings, leaving only 'SERVICENAME', hoping that this would command the search to find the Device Name only.
Success! through part fluke and some investigation the processing application now successfully reads only the Device Name of the surrounding devices.
And checked the modified libraries in my latest application code:
Previously the processing results from a web search have been 'printed' out as one long string, this was satisfactory in testing but to achieve the desired visual (flash prototype to come) changed needed to occur.
My next target was to separate each individual results separately so they could be positioned in different (random) places, rather than in a list.
When the request is passed to the switchboard library to execute the yahooWeb search, the results are passed into an array, where they are visible in the console printed as:
[1] Result one name
[2] Result two name
[3] Result three name
Previously those strings had been joined together and printed using the 'join' function. Using the following code the results now print separately in random places:
for (int i=0; i != word.length; i++) { text(word[i], random(width), random(height)); }
This is succesful and achieves what I wanted. The next step was to hide older results so the screen did not become cluttered with results (as pictured) Ideally I wanted old results to fade away, so a transparent layer was printed inside the for loop. This combination of code resulted in the desired visual I had set out to achieve for the text results.
The next stage was to combine this with the bluetooth search, so the executed search was of the nearby bluetooth device names. To do this I implemented the new code into the existing bluetooth/web search split application, and to take advantage of the random positiong, designed a larger lower area to display the results.
I've just returned from visiting the transmediale festival in Berlin feeling suitably inspired and amazed. The trip (pics here) was fantastic on all accounts but there was one particular installation that was most relative to my honours project.
Chapter I: The Discovery (link) is an installation Félix Luque Sánchez. The major influence it had on me was it's physical design - a dodecahedron of gleaming polished black, decorated with strip lights on each visible edge of its 12 faces. This is by far a much more advanced design than my cube of screens idea, but the presence of the object in the room was overwhelming and an experience I wish to emulate in some form.
The aura around it was reflective of it's visual; alternating lighting pattens ranging from a heartbeat-like rhythm to more random intensities. Complimented by electronic static signal sounds I felt increasingly drawn into it while in the room.
It's interactivity was not obvious, and although certainly was reactive to those around it, me and my group couldn't decipher exactly how it was affected and changed. For my installation the interactivity will be much more obvious to encourage user quick feedback and comprehension.
My general idea was to use one or more mac mini's for the 'heart' of the installation, the main advantage being their compact size. Although not high-powered machines, they would likely contain enough processing power for my application (i think!).
I have been doing a little research into using multiple monitors with them, which through some brief searching, isn't as easy as hoped. I currently have an older generation (2006) mac mini loaned from University, which only has 1 DVI output. The newer generation (2009>) mac mini's do, unfortunately for me, support 2 monitor outputs.
Seemingly the only way to connect another monitor to the older generation of devices is through the use of a VGA splitter device, as detailed here. More info here and here. The main disadvantage of this looks to be a max resolution of 1024x768 per screen, which shouldn't be too much of an issue, as I'd prefer to use as smaller monitors as possible, to constrain the potentially large size of the structure.
Tonight I have quickly experimented with using a second monitor with a (mac OS hacked) Dell netbook, which seems to work well. This will be considered through future development as a possible combination or alternative to the mac mini.
Another advantage to using the mac mini however, was the inbuilt bluetooth. I have tested the processing app on the netbook with a bluetooth USB dongle though and it seems to work fine - I had read about issues when using dongles with the bluetoothDesktop processing library, but it seems these don't affect my setup.
The next stage in the development of Processing was to combine the 2 code examples I had been exprrimenting with previously:
In this case I used yahooWeb.getTitle to display webpage title results as previously discussed, as so far this was the simplest and most reliable code so lent itself to initial implementation with bluetooth detection.
The main issue of this stage was to pass the bluetooth device name as a variable to the yahooWeb search. Previously the resulting device names had only been displayed as text, so a variable (devName) needed to be created beforehand.
It's value was changed each time new devices appeared/disappeared from range. This variable was then passed to the yahooWeb search, which displayed the results.
One of the larger issues was that the value of devName often included "(Unknown)" the bluetooth device's name when first discovered, before a complete connection has been established. This meant that the yahooWeb search often resulted in webpages about this title.
The solution to this was to use an if loop with a boolean, where only if devName var did not match the noDev var (value = "(Unknown)") would the resulting webpage data be sent to an array to be displayed.
This has proved a reasonable example of passing data from the bluetoothDesktop library to the Switchboard library, where many other web search functions can be called. The next stage of the development will be to control the results more accurately, in particular displaying single results alone or in differing positions/sizes, rather that in one long array as current.
The next aspect of Processing I was eager to experiment with is scanning the internet for data and then displaying what is found.
Switchboard link is a 'web services library for Processing' and on the face of it, looks to do alot of what I need. It has various 'services' such as google, yahoo and msn which could sufficiently provide the required data searching processes.
I started by installing the library and looking at the examples, particularly yahooImage and yahooWeb, and testing the code with my own variables and alterations. For many of the services a developer key is required for access of their API, so this had to be done first.
yahooImage uses the yahoo image search engine for the requested string and displays the top 10 results. Their x & y positions and height & width can be controlled through Pimage, standard in the Processing library.
yahooWeb uses the yahoo web search engine for the requested string and displays the top 10 results, dependant on the getter methods used such as getTitle or getSummary. These are then passed through a string variable to join them together and display using text, again standard in the Processing library, where there position and style can be controlled appropriately. There are some issues as the code repeatedly displays the text, so it becomes blurred as further instances are layered - this was remedied by adding a background fill into the loop so as to erase over the previous instances, this is likely not a long term solution though as it could interfere with other elements on screen.
The next task was to combine both of these modified examples into one 'sketch'. This was done successfully and the results displayed side by side.
The next stage will be to consider methods of linking the bluetooth search results tested earlier to these search and display methods.
As decided, I have started experimenting with the Processing link language to discover nearby Bluetooth devices. Using Processing has many advantages, as you can be seen in the previous quote, and theoretically is perfect for my desired product style and my lack of experience with computer programming. The libraries link available have such a variety of applications they seem perfect for the project, aswell as it's easy ability to communicate with Arduino boards.
bluetoothDesktop link is a library to allow data transfer between bluetooth devices and the processing application. I had a little difficulty setting it up as it was extracted to an incorrect directory, but it all functions well now. Included with it are some examples.
I started with the Simple_Bluetooth file and analyzed its code. Then stripped out unnecessary elements to simplify my learning. The main modification was that of the 'discovery loop', in that it kept looping the code to search for new devices and refresh the list, rather than just acting once at setup.
The resulting application is compact but achieves what was desired: continuos scanning for bluetooth devices and display of the found device names. One of the next steps will be to extract and process the information in a different method.
Through the previous testing of BluetoothView, I noticed that the bluetooth signal from my iPhone 3G was either very poor, intermittent, or both. Only on occasion would the software detect the presence of it, and this seemed to be when I had recently turned the device bluetooth functionality on, and was in the Bluetooth menu. When I would return to the home screen or let the phone lock/sleep, the signal would vanish.
This was also prevalent when testing with my flatmate's iPhone 3GS, and when demoing the BluetoothView software to my lecturer who has a 3G handset.
Through some quick research it seems there are other (related?) issues with the devices bluetooth capabilites: article link
Aswell as this, the only way to change the bluetooth device name of the handset is through iTunes when plugged into a computer, rather than through the menus on the handset like most other mobile phones. Generally the naming of Apple devices is quite restrictive (mine is 'Tom Welsh's iPhone') but it is not mandatory to use the full name, so as my flatmate ('Graeme's iPhone') has this would not provide enough information to detect any personally specific media of his on the internet.
(NOTE: There are many issues regarding the actual name viewers would use for their handset, and that of not using their personal full name can change the nature and exhibitionism of the installation. This will be investigated and discussed later on)
Additonal testing device
Because of the aforementioned issues with the iPhone, in addition I used a slightly dated Sony Ericsson K750i to test the Bluetooth view software. It's signal proved strong and reliable and was very effective for testing (and generally its device name was always read first by the software rather than the iPhone(s))
I will likely continue to use this device because of it's reliability in all future Bluetooth testing.
In the initial phase of the designs I was eager to try out software for bluetooth device searching, with an aim to find an application which would continually/intermittently scan for nearby devices, and output information about those in a common file format; primarily the device name which can usually be manually changed by the user in the device's menu.
Through some google searches I came across BluetoothView (link) It's freeware, and claimed to do everything that was required. Unfortunately it's PC only, and as I'm primarily a Mac user, required me to begrudginly dig out my Vista-powered HP laptop.
There were no major issues in setting the software up, and it had some interesting features which were a bonus to me such as time first/last detected, number of times detected. These could possibly be used to alter the display nature/style of media in the installation.
The output methods of BluetoothView were interesting, with it able to save the names/data as TXT, CSV, XML and more. However to do this, it required the use of the Windows command prompt, and script manually entered for each output initiation. (Though this could have been resolved at a later date through programming of an MSDOS batch file).
For more visual friendly purposes, the output XML file was read by a HTML page I created which displayed only the device name, so the results could be more easily read with speed.
Although the application seemed robust, and would effectively scan, read and display data, it's output capabilities were flawed. Despite testing every available file format multiple times, it would only output the data of visible devices on occasion, despite them showing on the application, and often would output no data through the Command Prompt.
Through consideration of these findings and discussion with my tutor, including the wider requirements of the project, it was agreed I will investigate the language Processing (link) - more on that soon.
The idea I am developing for goes something like this:
An physical installation, almost sculpture like in impact. Scanning the surrounding area for bluetooth signals, it identifies the device names and then scans the internet for these words. A series of screens (quite possibly other/different outputs) display the different media found.
The installation flickers into life as it detects a single device name. Media is sparsely shown as it is found, in random timings and locations on the screen(s). As another additional name is detected in the vicinity, and then another, the displays become more vivid, active with life. It flickers like a lightbulb with sparks of electricity, the light of the digital media specific to the people in the surrounding space.
Take modern industrialized societies participation in social media and digital content creation.
Apply Manovich's conclusion of this paper in particular the topic personal subjectivity.
Consider Mediamatic's ikTag project.
Embody aspects of all of these into a physical art installation. That's what I'm trying to achieve.
Through the last trimester the central theme of my research, reading and writings has been exploring the transformation of digital content into the public space.
What does that mean?
Investigating physical presentation methods of online media. How can the huge amounts of media available and continually generated on the web be displayed away from the traditional mediums of the home computer or laptop screen, and more recently the mobile phone?
My research evaluated the decisions of what type of media to display (rich, text or stastical) and if to display it in it's original form, or translate the data into something else.
Without my summarizing my essay (which can be requested via email) the additonal deliverable (as it's known) will embody the work I've done so far, and promote further research into the subject dependent specifically on the design of the product.
This is the journal of my thoughts, development and inspiration of my honours project, the final part of my degree in. It's mainly about the design of the 'additional deliverable', an artefact to embody the project report.
This accompanying document is titled 'Investigating the transformation of digital media into the physical domain'. So the 'product' should be something along those lines.
Who am I?
My name is Thomas Welsh, 22. This is my final term studying the BSc Interactive Media Design at Edinburgh Napier University, a subject I'm very enthusiastic about.

France debut for Le Roux
Racing Métro flanker Bernard Le Roux will make his debut for France in the second Test against New Zealand in Christchurch.
The 21-year old starts at openside flanker as one of four changes to the team that lost the first Test in Auckland.
Frederic Michalak starts at fly-half in place of Camille Lopez, with Christophe Samson in at lock to partner Yoann Maestri and Nicolas Mas starting at tighthead.
Luc Ducalcon and Sebastien Vahaamahina both drop to the bench, where they are joined by Benjamin Kayser, Brice Dulin and Mathieu Bastareaud who were absent from the 23 last weekend.
France lost the first Test in Auckland 23-13 and squandered a rare chance to win at the venue where they lost the Rugby World Cup Final in 2011.
A midweek side did however defeat the Auckland Blues 38-15 on Tuesday, during which Le Roux did enough to impress Philippe Saint-André and warrant a start.
"He's good in the ruck area and has qualities as a jumper, he had a very interesting game on Tuesday," said Saint-André, who comes in to replace the injured Fulgence Ouedraogo after the Montpellier flanker was ruled out of the tour through injury.
France: 15 Maxime Médard, 14 Adrien Planté, 13 Florian Fritz, 12 Wesley Fofana, 11 Yoann Huget, 10 Frederic Michalak, 9 Maxime Machenaud, 8 Louis Picamoles, 7 Bernard Le Roux, 6 Thierry Dusautoir (c), 5 Yoann Maestri, 4 Christophe Samson, 3 Nicolas Mas, 2 Dimitri Szarzewski, 1 Thomas Domingo.

Magnetic Field and Electric Field: Two Sides Of A same Coin
Probably, I won't be able to give a satisfying answer to this question, but it's the risk we take when we ask the Why of a physical phenomenon —instead of how physics can describe a natural phenomenon— and we don't want a metaphysical answer. I don't know how to give a direct answer, so I'm going to make a brief review of the milestones that have characterized this branch of physics (electromagnetism), with the hope to remove some doubt.
Until the early decades of the 1800's, experiments conducted to investigate electrical phenomena were completely separate from those focused on magnetic phenomena. Then, in 1820, Hans Christian Oersted —a Danish physicist and chemist— saw by chance that the needle of a compass is deflected from magnetic north if placed near a wire in which an electric current is flowing. Repeating the experience several times in a rigorous way, he demonstrated that an electric current generates a magnetic field, establishing for the first time a relationship between magnetism and electricity.
As soon as the French physicist and mathematician André-Marie Ampere learned of Oersted's discovery, he began his experiments, in turn coming to some amazing conclusions. Not only he established in a formal way that a current-carrying circuit behaves like a magnet, but he also hypothesized that in a permanent magnet there are "electrodynamic molecules" responsible for the magnetic field at the macroscopic level.
And that is exactly what happens.
Although the phenomenon is more complex, we can say that, in ferromagnetic materials, spin and motion of electrons generate small magnetic fields which, aligning along a privileged direction (magnetic polarization), add themselves vectorially, producing the macroscopic magnetic field.
The amazing thing is that Ampere's intuition took place about 70 years before the discovery of electron by J. J. Thomson (1897).
Ampere, however, was not the only one interested in the interaction between current and magnetism. After his colleagues' discoveries, Michael Faraday —an English chemist and physicist— wondered if it was possible to reverse the phenomenon, that is, if it were possible to generate electricity from a magnetic field. In 1831, after several experiments, he reached the conclusion that, in a circuit, an induced electromotive force is created each time the magnetic flux (number of lines) through the surface bounded by the circuit is changed. And it's important to remember that Faraday's law of induction is at the bottom of electric motors, alternators, electric generators and transformers' working principles.
Thus, up to this point, the magicians of physics had determined that an electric field is linked to an electric charge and that a magnetic field is linked to a moving charge.
Then, in 1864, the Scottish mathematician and physicist James Clerk Maxwell developed a theory that includes all the observations, the experiments and the laws known until the first half of the nineteenth century, regarding this branch of physics. In fact, with his system of equations, he proved that electricity and magnetism (and light) are manifestations of the same phenomenon: the electromagnetic field. With them, he also introduced the concept of electromagnetic waves which, about 20 years after, were discovered experimentally by the German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, opening the door to modern technology (from radio to cellular phone and beyond).
With Maxwell's equations (that predict the existence of waves having a speed equal to that of light) and all the charges' "activity", it was no longer possible to avoid the big question:
With respect to which inertial frame of reference are they moving?
A charge may be in motion with respect to the observer, likewise, the latter can be in movement with respect to the charge. Now, can you guess who was the first theoretical physicist to give a formal statement of this ambiguity?
Right! In 1905, Albert Einstein published a paper entitled On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies exposing the theory known later as special relativity.
As already mentioned, a magnetic field and an electric field are two different manifestations of the electromagnetic field. But in other words, we can say that it's the electromagnetic field to have physical relevance and, according to the inertial reference frame in which we observe a phenomenon, it may appear as an electric field, a magnetic field or a superposition of the two.
