If you've ever dreamed of creating beautiful, interactive visuals with code, then Processing may be your new best friend. Originally developed as a tool for teaching computer programming in a visual context, Processing has evolved into a versatile programming language that artists, designers, and even scientists use to create stunning visualizations and interactive experiences.
What is Processing?
Processing is an open-source programming language and development environment built on top of the Java programming language. It was created by Ben Fry and Casey Reas in 2001, with the goal of making it easier for non-programmers to start learning how to code through visual, interactive projects. The language simplifies the process of working with graphics, making it accessible for anyone interested in combining art and technology.
Getting Started with Processing
To begin using Processing, you'll first need to download the Processing software for your operating system. Once installed, you're ready to start creating your first Processing sketch.
A sketch is the term used in Processing for a single program. When you open the Processing development environment, you'll be greeted with a simple text editor where you can write your code. To run your sketch, simply press the "Play" button in the top left corner of the window.
Let's create a basic sketch that draws a circle on the screen:
void setup() {
size(800, 600);
}
void draw() {
background(255); // White background
fill(0); // Black color for the circle
ellipse(400, 300, 100, 100); // Draw a circle at the center of the canvas
}
The setup function runs once at the beginning of your sketch and is used for any initialization code. In this case, we define the size of the display window with size(800, 600). The draw function is called repeatedly, making it ideal for animations or continuous updates to the screen. Inside draw, we set the background color, circle color, and draw a circle with the ellipse function.
Exploring the Processing Ecosystem
One of the strengths of Processing is its thriving community, which has produced a vast number of libraries and tools to extend the language's functionality even further. You can find libraries for everything from 3D graphics to computer vision, physics simulations, and even machine learning.
To browse available libraries, go to the "Sketch" menu in the Processing development environment and select "Import Library" followed by "Add Library." You'll be presented with a list of libraries you can install and use in your sketches.
Linking Art and Programming
Processing's focus on visuals and interactivity provides an excellent platform for artists, designers, and programmers to experiment with new ideas and collaborate. By combining creative coding techniques with traditional artistic practices, you can create captivating works of art that blur the lines between static and dynamic, digital and analog.
Take inspiration from the Processing examples and openprocessing.org, where you can find numerous examples of stunning art and interactive experiences created using Processing. As you explore the capabilities of this programming language, you'll discover that the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
So grab your digital paintbrush, and happy coding!
Both Rrap and Dupain’s artworks Speechless (2017) and Sunbaker (1937) reflect how artworks may alter in contextual meaning and inter-relate in differing traditional and contemporary contexts, from a holiday candid moment to an iconic representation of Australian national identity in the Whitlam era of the 1970s, and to an appropriated critique of what it might mean to be ‘Australian’ in 2017. Capturing a nation grappling with social and economic struggles while aspiring for health and resilience, Dupain’s Sunbaker illustrates this through the monochromatic colour palette and the portrayal of a muscular male figure lounging on the beach, emphasising the bicep and forearm muscles as symbols of vitality. Under a contrasting context, Rrap's Speechless engages with contemporary cultural expectations by presenting an interactive nature with a cast-bronze and welded lectern of a human mould, capturing an alternative angle of Dupain's work to critique traditional ideals and subvert Australia’s reputation of leisure as an imagery of the past. Looking to Rrap’s statement, “Maybe these things are innocently conceived, but not necessarily innocently perceived,” emphasises how both artists invite viewers to confront the complex layers of identity and cultural narratives that have evolved over time. Together, they illustrate how context can change the perception and intentions of what it means to be Australian.
i know you are somewhere out there somewhere far away i want you back i want you back my neighbors think I'm crazy, but they don't understand you are all i had you are all i had at night when the stars light up my room i sit by myself talking to the moon tryna get to you in hopes you're on the other side talking to me too or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon
A flame, exploded from within Calida's right hand. Causing the attacker to be pushed back by 5 miles. Then Calida Amani, dashes towards the attacker with an elbow strike in the head.
While there eyes were blinded by the high concentration of light.
Now, she continues with her assault by swerving around the attacker and getting behind there back. Calida grins, before placing her arm on there back.
Now, a high magical energy blows out from there hand, causing Calida's flames to rip out onto the attacker's body. Taking over the attacker's body with her own flames.
When Brienne reaches Duskendale, she finds the gates barred for the night. The area surrounding it is littered with corpses of both northmen and men from the Reach.
The gates open at morning, and the captain tells Brienne that his sister can paint over the black bat of Lothston on her shield. After finding and telling the sister what sigil she wants, Brienne heads to the Dun Fort to speak to the lord. Since Lord Rykker is in the field, she meets with the castellan, Ser Rufus Leek, and a maester, who tells her that many came before her asking if Dontos Hollard and Sansa Stark had come to Duskendale. The Dun Fort's maester tells the story of the Defiance of Duskendale, which seems to have been the incident that finally sent King Aerys II over the edge.
Either of his own initiative, or from the urgings of his wife Serala, Denys Darklyn took Aerys hostage. When Tywin Lannister (who was Hand at the time) surrounded the Dun Fort, Lord Darklyn threatened to kill Aerys. When Aerys was captured, Symon Hollard killed one of his Kingsguard, Ser Gwayne Gaunt.
After Barristan the Bold slipped into the Dun Fort and rescued the king, Aerys had nearly every member of the Darklyn and Hollard families killed or attainted. Dontos, who was young at the time, survived because Barristan asked Aerys to stay his hand.
The castellan tells Brienne that Duskendale would have been the last place Dontos would have fled to. Despairing that she will never find Sansa, Brienne bumps into a skinny boy whom she also saw back at Rosby on a piebald rounsey, but he runs away.
Visiting the Seven Swords inn for dinner, Brienne meets a dwarf brother, who tells her that he overheard a man called Nimble Dick in Maidenpool bragging that he had "fooled a fool" seeking passage for three across the narrow sea. That night, Brienne dreams of Renly's death, but when he topples after the shadow killed him, the body is that of Jaime.
The next day, Brienne picks up her shield, painted with the sigil that Tanselle had painted for Ser Duncan the Tall. Proceeding past fishing villages on the way to Maidenpool, Brienne camps by the ruins of the Hollard castle, and hears a rider.
Fearing it may be Ser Shadrich and that a battle might ensue, she discovers the boy who seems to be stalking her. It turns out to be Podrick Payne, who asks to stay with her, hoping that if she finds Sansa, it may lead the boy back to Tyrion.

2. Swadeshi and Boycott Movements (1905–1911)
The Swadeshi and Boycott movements emerged as a reaction to the partition of Bengal by Lord Curzon in 1905. It marked a shift in modern Indian history, as Indians started to focus on economic self-reliance and boycotted British goods.
Key Leaders: Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, and Bipin Chandra Pal.
Significance: It laid the foundation for India’s industrial development and fostered unity among Indians across regions.
Health and safety should be considered one of the top priorities of any mining venture. Any safety issues that force a shut-down can negatively affect the bottom line, and take their toll on the human resources department and individuals at risk.
One of the challenges facing mine health and safety overall, is the sheer number of moving parts that need to be monitored and coordinated on a daily basis. Mineware’s safety suite makes this easy, by drawing relevant information from various departments into one user-friendly interface. This data can then be analyzed by relevant managers and personnel, and used to mitigate risk on a continuous basis
In matters of principle, stand like a rock; in matters of taste, swim with the current. Give up money, give up fame, give up science, give up earth itself and all it contains, rather than do an immoral act. And never suppose that in any situation, or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing. Whenever you are to do a thing, though it can never be known by to yourself, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you, and act accordingly.
Duty, honor, country: Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.
When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, Service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.
I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

We live in a society of numbers. From the number of a birth certificate to the number of death certificate, numbers play a vital role in the daily life of each of us. Virtually all typed business an personal papers contain figures. Quite often these documents contain some commonly used symbols, also. Therefore, skill in keying on the top row is critical to your future use of the machine.
Data arranged in table form shows a common use of figures and symbols. Although some tables include no figures, the greatest percentage of them do. Just as top skill in the letter keyboard may help you land a well-paid job, expert skill on figure copy may land you a prized data entry job that's even better. Workers in accounting and data processing office must know how to oprate the number row with efficiency.

I believe that taking risks is essential for personal growth. It's like learning to ride a bike - you'll fall, but each attempt makes you stronger.
Recently, I took a major risk by switching from chemistry to computer science. As a chemist, I was comfortable in the lab analyzing materials. However, my passion for building useful software drove me to make this leap.
My first failure came when building a website for student grade management. I knew Python from data analysis, but web development was different. My code worked on my computer but crashed when other students tried to use it. I had made a classic beginner mistake - I didn't handle different screen sizes or test for poor internet connections. Students couldn't see their grades properly on phones, and the system would freeze when multiple people logged in.
This failure taught me three important lessons:
1. Start small - I should have first built a simple version that worked well
2. Test thoroughly - I now test my projects on different devices before sharing
3. Learn from experienced developers - I joined coding communities online to get feedback
Like a scientist doing experiments, each 'failed' attempt gave me data to improve. I rebuilt the website step by step, made it mobile-friendly, and added loading screens for slow connections. It now works smoothly for all students.
This experience showed me that changing careers isn't about avoiding failures - it's about learning from them. Each problem I solve makes me a better developer, just like each experiment made me a better chemist.

De eerste laag van het OSI-model is de fysieke laag. Deze laag is verantwoordelijk voor de daadwerkelijke overdracht van gegevens tussen apparaten. Het gaat hier om het doorgeven van ruwe data, de zogenaamde bits, via fysieke verbindingen zoals kabels, glasvezel of draadloze signalen. Op deze laag wordt er niet gekeken naar de betekenis van de data; het gaat puur om het doorsturen van elektrische signalen, lichtgolven of radiogolven die de bits representeren. De fysieke laag omvat dus alle hardwarecomponenten die betrokken zijn bij de transmissie, zoals netwerkkaarten, modems en bekabeling. Ook de specificaties voor het fysieke medium zelf, zoals de maximale kabellengte en het type connectoren, vallen onder de fysieke laag.
De tweede laag van het OSI-model is de datalinklaag. Deze laag zorgt ervoor dat de data correct en foutloos van het ene apparaat naar het andere apparaat wordt gestuurd binnen hetzelfde netwerk. Om dit te bereiken, verpakt de datalinklaag de bits die de fysieke laag verzendt in zogenoemde frames, waardoor ze gemakkelijker te beheren en te controleren zijn. Binnen deze frames worden er ook MAC-adressen toegevoegd die unieke identificaties geven aan de apparaten die met elkaar communiceren. Hierdoor weet de ontvanger precies waar de data vandaan komt en waar het naartoe moet binnen een lokaal netwerk. Verder helpt de datalinklaag om fouten te detecteren en te corrigeren die kunnen ontstaan tijdens de transmissie van data. Een apparaat dat op deze laag functioneert, zoals een switch, stuurt gegevens alleen door naar het apparaat dat bedoeld is als ontvanger, waardoor het verkeer efficiënt en veilig blijft.
De derde laag is de netwerklaag en deze is essentieel voor de communicatie tussen verschillende netwerken. De netwerklaag regelt de routering van data, wat betekent dat het pakketten van de ene locatie naar de andere stuurt, ongeacht of deze locaties zich binnen hetzelfde netwerk bevinden of niet. Op deze laag wordt gebruik gemaakt van IP-adressen, die ervoor zorgen dat elk apparaat op het netwerk geïdentificeerd kan worden en dat data naar de juiste bestemming wordt gestuurd, zelfs als het pakket door meerdere netwerken moet reizen om daar te komen. De netwerklaag maakt het mogelijk om verbindingen te maken met apparaten op verschillende locaties, of dat nu binnen hetzelfde gebouw of wereldwijd is. Een belangrijk apparaat op deze laag is de router, die bepaalt welke weg de data moet afleggen en ervoor zorgt dat het pakket langs de efficiëntste route naar de eindbestemming gaat.
De vierde laag van het OSI-model is de transportlaag. Deze laag is verantwoordelijk voor een betrouwbare en efficiënte communicatie tussen twee systemen, zoals computers of servers, die met elkaar willen communiceren. De transportlaag zorgt ervoor dat de data in kleinere segmenten wordt opgedeeld, zodat het gemakkelijker kan worden verzonden en ontvangen. Daarnaast biedt deze laag foutcontrole en flowcontrole, wat betekent dat de integriteit van de data wordt gecontroleerd en dat er een mechanisme is om ervoor te zorgen dat de data in het juiste tempo wordt verstuurd. Bij het gebruik van het Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) bijvoorbeeld, ontvangt de verzender een bevestiging van de ontvanger dat de data correct is ontvangen. Dit maakt de transportlaag betrouwbaar en veilig, vooral wanneer het belangrijk is dat alle data zonder fouten aankomt.
De vijfde laag van het OSI-model is de sessielaag. Deze laag beheert en onderhoudt de verbindingen, of sessies, tussen applicaties op verschillende apparaten. De sessielaag zorgt ervoor dat de communicatie tussen twee toepassingen goed gesynchroniseerd blijft, zelfs wanneer er sprake is van onderbrekingen. Het herstelt de sessie waar deze is gestopt, mocht er een fout optreden, en voorkomt dat data opnieuw wordt verzonden of verloren gaat. Deze laag speelt een cruciale rol in toepassingen zoals videovergaderingen of bestandsdeling, waar een gestage, stabiele verbinding essentieel is voor een goede gebruikerservaring. De sessielaag zorgt ervoor dat beide partijen in een sessie elkaar kunnen volgen en synchroniseert de data-uitwisseling, zodat de communicatie nauwkeurig en efficiënt verloopt.
De zesde laag is de presentatielaag, en deze is verantwoordelijk voor het voorbereiden van data zodat deze kan worden begrepen door de applicaties en gebruikers. Deze laag zet data om in een formaat dat geschikt is voor de ontvangende applicatie, zodat die data op de juiste manier kan worden weergegeven. Een goed voorbeeld hiervan is de omzetting van tekst naar ASCII-codes of het omzetten van grafische bestanden naar een bitmap. Daarnaast biedt de presentatielaag encryptie en compressie aan, wat extra beveiliging en efficiëntie toevoegt aan de gegevensoverdracht. Encryptie zorgt ervoor dat gegevens alleen leesbaar zijn voor de ontvanger die de juiste sleutel heeft, terwijl compressie de omvang van de data vermindert, wat helpt om de snelheid van de communicatie te verbeteren.
De zevende en laatste laag van het OSI-model is de applicatielaag. Dit is de laag die het dichtst bij de eindgebruiker staat en direct interactie heeft met de applicaties die we dagelijks gebruiken, zoals e-mail, webbrowsers en bestanden die we uitwisselen. De applicatielaag biedt protocollen die specifieke diensten aan applicaties en gebruikers leveren, zoals HTTP voor webpagina’s, FTP voor het overdragen van bestanden, en SMTP voor het versturen van e-mails. Deze laag biedt een interface tussen de gebruiker en het netwerk, en zorgt ervoor dat de data in een format wordt geleverd dat begrijpelijk is voor de gebruiker en de applicatie.
