What's so great about art?
Posted by A D Jameson @ 11:00 am on September 17th, 2014
Joseph Kosuth, "One and Three Chairs" (1965)
[Update 4 October 2014: See the bottom of this post for a bit more.]
This is a response to Dianna Dragonetti's recent post here, which is itself a response to Janey Smith's "Fuck List," originally published at this site. It's also a response to the numerous comments on Dragonetti's post. Because it seemed to me that, as of this writing, a lot of the debate over Smith's post, and the book that's apparently resulted from it (which I've not seen), has taken the form, "Is what Smith did art?" Mind you, I doubt this post will settle that debate, but I hope it provides
some historical context I think relevant to Smith's post;
plus an argument why, at the end of the day, I don't think that it really matters whether Smith was making art.
I guess I should also note, in passing, that my name was the first name on Smith's "Fuck List" (thanks to the magic of alphabetization). Since I find myself (along with numerous others) the object of some obscure desire, perhaps I can offer a few thoughts on the subject.
Art is, at the end of the day, whatever people decide it is. Art isn't some mineral or element that's "out there," a priori, in nature. Artists don't run around with pickaxes, "unearthing" art. Instead, artists and the people around them (curators, publishers, institutions, critics, audiences, the public) socially determine what art is. One way of thinking of museums is that they collect whatever a society has decided is art. (The whole practice of "institutional critique" is in some sense founded on this understanding.)
The question of what counts as art, therefore, is always going to be with us, and will never be ultimately resolved. It can't be, because no single person can point to anything and definitively say, "that's art." For one thing, determining "what is art" is a collective activity, not an individual one. (Individuals are free to consider anything art, but no one else is obliged to agree with them.) And as soon as we have a definition of art, dollars to donuts, someone is going to come along and present a case that troubles that distinction.
Consider here just such a person: Joseph Kosuth, whose seminal 1969 essay "Art after Philosophy," is I think directly relevant to Janey Smith. I'd encourage you to read the full essay, but here's the gist. Kosuth argues that Duchamp's invention of "the unassisted Ready-made" changed the nature of art, in that it made obsolete traditional forms of art-making—painting, sculpture, drawing, etc. Duchamp shifted the kind of conversation that art was having, driving it to discover what new things it could be doing, instead of concerning itself with what it had already done. In Kosuth's formulation:
The "value" of particular artists after Duchamp can be weighed according to how much they questioned the nature of art; which is another way of saying "what they added to the conception of art" or what wasn't there before they started. Artists question the nature of art by presenting new propositions as to art's nature. And to do this one cannot concern oneself with the handed-down "language" of traditional art, as this activity is based on the assumption that there is only one way of framing art propositions. But the very stuff of art is indeed greatly related to "creating" new propositions.
By this logic, a painting isn't art (not real art, not anymore), because it doesn't challenge our notion of what art is, because we already know that paintings can be art. People who continue painting and making sculptures after Duchamp are deluding themselves; Kosuth dismisses such stuff as "formalist art," and calls it "the vanguard of decoration": "Strictly speaking, one could reasonably assert that its art condition is so minimal that for all functional purposes it is not art at all, but pure exercises in aesthetics." For Kosuth, the proper task for artists is to go out and find things that people don't already think of as art, and make them art.
It seems to me that Janey Smith is an artist in the Joseph Kosuth mode. Smith wants to find things that others think not-art—usually creepy, stalker-type activities involving social media and sex—and make the case that they are art. And I get the impression that, like Kosuth, Smith thinks that this is the most valid way of making art—the proper task of the artist. Others paint landscapes, or make assemblages, or write poems, but they're just making decorations. They aren't adding new propositions to our understanding of what art is—they aren't claiming new things as art. And those new things have to be, by definition, things that other people don't already recognize as art. If other people already consider them art, then there's no work for the artist of the Joseph Kosuth kind to do there. One always has to be finding and claiming new materials.
I, for one, am not persuaded by Kosuth, for a variety of reasons. For starters, I'm guilty of being one of those "formalists" concerned with "pure aesthetics." I don't concede the point that traditional forms, like painting and sculpture, are obsolete in the way Kosuth describes. Additionally, there would seem something paradoxical about Kosuth's formulation. If art after Duchamp means rejecting traditional forms and instead finding new propositions to add to our understanding of art, then what happens when that activity itself becomes a tradition? Couldn't it be argued that, in the fifty years since Kosuth's essay, and the one hundred years since Duchamp's Fountain, there's now something very familiar about an artist who works by claiming non-art materials as art? How does a modern-day version of Duchamp or Kosuth (e.g., Janey Smith) enrich or further our understanding of what art is?
Finally (and at the risk of being a little glib), Kosuth's argument transforms art into a hungry monster that's slowly consuming all the non-art in the universe. At some point, it would seem, that project will necessarily come to an end, once everything has been recognized as art. And that point will come about immediately, once some clever artist declares, "Everything in existence is art!" Indeed, many clever artists have already made that declaration. "Everything is art" (or "reality is art") was repeatedly claimed by John Cage, and by countless others since then. Of course, that argument raises problems, too. The most obvious one is that, if everything is art, then nothing is—indeed, everything that exists has to be, by nature of its existence, art. (If that were true, then art becomes unremarkable, and what would be more impressive is if something could be found that wasn't art.) The logic of this argument is basically to collapse art into something like "matter." You don't go around wondering if the things you see are matter—that tree, and that tree, and that ice cream cone dropped on the sidewalk, and that little kid bawling his eyes out next to the cone, and the ants now greedily devouring the ice cream. They're all matter. And, according to the "all is art" view, they're all art, too.
Kosuth obviously doesn't think that everything is already art. For him, the artist still has work to do: identifying non-art, and presenting it as art. And many (to put it mildly) agree with him, and are engaged in the activity of finding new materials (new propositions) for art. Visit any museum with a modern collection, and you won't fail to observe that those galleries house quite a lot of stuff that isn't traditional sculpture or painting. (It can of course be argued that any flat object is a painting, and any non-flat object is a sculpture—and many people have argued precisely that. Some problems associated with that maneuver are articulated by Michael Fried in "Art and Objecthood" [PDF]—which Kosuth's own essay was responding to.)
Anyway. Janey Smith, whether anyone likes it or not, would appear to be operating in a certain well-established artistic tradition. (Two well-known conceptual performance art precedents that Smith could claim include Vito Acconci's Following (3–25 October, 1969), wherein Acconci followed random passersby until they entered private spaces, and Francis Alÿs and Peter Kilchman's Re-Enactments (4 November 2000), wherein Alÿs purchased a 9mm Beretta at a Mexico City gun shop, then carried it openly on the streets until the police arrested him.)
Where Smith differs from Kosuth, perhaps, is that Kosuth, despite his antipathy to traditional forms of art, still wanted to work within traditional artistic institutions. The adding of propositions—the transformation of non-art into art—depends on the existence of institutions that guarantee art as art: museums, galleries, magazines, criticism, retrospectives, and so on. (Kosuth wasn't arguing that Artforum should stop being published, but that it stop paying so much attention to traditional painting and sculpture.)
Given that, the most confusing thing about Smith's "Fuck List" is that it was a blog post at HTMLGIANT, and we might not be used to thinking about blog posts as artworks. HTMLGIANT isn't, I don't think, a site people visit to read art (unless one is inclined to think that all the posts are art, everything is art, etc.). Sure, there's the Sunday Service post each week, which is a poem, and certain contributors—like Reynard Seifert—contribute posts that are more like poetry than, say, my posts are—but by and large, most people probably consider the posts here as writing about art, not art itself. (I could of course be wrong about this, but it's how I tend to think of the site.) If so, Smith's post maybe seemed more nonfictional than anything else, more non-art than anything else. Which is why retroactively claiming it as art might strike many as a cop-out, or an apology.
I do think Smith is working in the Kosuthian tradition. (I should note that I'm reading Smith's list literally, not figuratively—meaning that I believe Smith when he says he wants to fuck and be fucked by the artists on that list, and that he isn't using "fuck" as a metaphor for something else, like "I want to experience their groovy art.") The waters may be muddier, but muddy waters will attract an artist of the Kosuth type. The more a blog post is unlike an artwork, the more tempting it will be to claim it as art. And many have argued that, in addition to finding new propositions for art, the artist should also make art in places where people don't expect to encounter art. There are many tangential traditions here that Smith could lay claim to, such as FLUXUS and other forms of street theater, Happenings, performance art, and so on. And, like it or not, there is some precedent at HTMLGIANT for making provocative-yet-obscure posts that come across as offensive even though you're not entirely sure how or why you've been offended. In any case, now that Smith's "Fuck List" has been published as a book, the publisher is essentially making the curatorial claim that Smith's list is art, and that it should be thought of by others as such.
Note that the Kosuth tradition will always be controversial or offensive, because it is by nature polemical. Such an artist must always find something that other people don't think of as art, and make the case that those people are wrong, and that the thing in question is, in fact, art. You don't have to think very long before you realize that the way to be a very successful artist of this kind is to find the most outrageous stuff that people won't think of as art and claim it as such. (Damien Hirst is a master of this tradition.) The more people think it's not art, the bigger the challenge, and the potential achievement. It's no surprise Duchamp started this tradition with a factory-produced urinal and not, say, a pretty leaf he found lying on the sidewalk.
Marcel Duchamp, "Fountain" (1917)
But here's the real crux of the matter. Who cares whether Janey Smith's "Fuck List" is art? What's so special about art? Being art doesn't protect Smith in any way, or sanctify his actions. Let's illustrate this with an extreme example. Suppose my art consists of my sneaking into your house and stealing your underpants. I'm sure most people wouldn't consider that art. They'd consider it breaking and entering, and burglary. You could call the police on me, and I could argue to the police all day that what I was doing was art, but that wouldn't stop the police from arresting me, or my trial from occurring.
One month later, while I sit in prison, maybe some people would find out about me, and consider what I did art, and write a book about it. They could argue how my actions challenge popular notions of private property, and the gender norms enforced by underpants. They could claim I was making a poetic allusion to the way the NSA has, since 9-11, invaded our bedrooms, and eradicated privacy. (They could link it to hacked cell phones and stolen nudes! Because aren't nudes art?) And many people might buy that book and find it provocative, and discuss it on blogs and over coffee. But none of that would mean that the police now owe me an apology, or should release me, or that I can sue them for wrongful arrest. Because my whole claim in the first place was that a particular crime was art. Others eventually agreed. But it's still a crime.
(Granted, also, that crimes are themselves socially constructed. But even if my stealing your underpants comes to be considered art, it will probably still be considered a crime. Meanwhile, lots of art-making involves "crimes" that aren't considered crimes. You like making films or photographs? Where do you think the silver in the film comes from? Happy pleasant working conditions in South America? But the people slaving away in mines there have no legal ability to prosecute you for your purchasing film, and funding their oppression, since capitalist imperialism remains the law of the land. Or are you a writer who likes using paper? The vast ecosystems destroyed by the paper industry have no legal recourse for obtaining compensation for their destruction; they have no rights, and what's more, they've been destroyed.)
I'm not accusing Smith of stealing underpants. And if I'm wrong in my assessment of his work, apologies. I've hardly looked at everything he's done. But from my own encounters with him, here and elsewhere, it seems to me that the man's art revolves around his being a creepy jerk. Maybe others agree with him that such behavior is art, and should be recognized as art. But be that as it may, Janey Smith remains a creepy jerk—the kind of guy who comments on a post that he needs you to email him ASAP, because he has something to tell you, then responds when you do email him that he just wanted to say that he likes your writing (one of the few odd interactions I've had with him—and foolish me for emailing him in the first place). You come away feeling as though he's taken advantage of you, and slightly concerned that he now has your email address (not that mine is all that difficult to find). No doubt he considers disturbing you the point, and a victory for the ages. Because his art depends on him being a creepy jerk. Being a creepy jerk is what Janey Smith has identified with being an artist. It's exactly the kind of person he's trying to be.
UPDATE 4 OCTOBER 2014
The comments below, and some emails I've exchanged with Dianna and Alexandra, has made me want to clarify this post.
This post wasn't intended as an attack on Dianna. One thing I was trying to say is that I don't think one needs to disprove that Janey Smith's work is art in order to demonstrate it causes harm. To put it another way, I think the argument over whether Smith's work is/isn't art irrelevant to whether it causes harm. And to put it another way, I don't think something being art doesn't excuse it or justify in any way if it causes harm. Harm cannot be justified or excused by claiming it as art. Claiming something cruel and perverse as art in no way sheds it of its cruelty and perversion. What's more, I don't think artists who claim harm as art want us to do that. If the harm is what made something art, then how could claiming it as art eliminate the harm? As I see it, "art" and "harmful" are in no way opposites, and they don't preclude one another.
So I think the whole "art/not-art" debate is a total distraction from the points Dianna was trying to make, and from an important conversation—many important conversations. Part of my hope for my post was that it might help clear the way for those conversations. Although of course at the end of the day I'm just one voice among many, and while I certainly use writing to try and clarify issues for myself—and hopefully other people—it's obviously not my business to try and control conversations, or tell people what to discuss.
The reason I went into so much art history is because I didn't want to look at Janey Smith's work in a vacuum. (And, no, I haven't seen We're Fucked. I'm not writing about that book, but rather other things that Janey Smith has made, such as "Fuck List," and his posts here and at Big Other.) I'm genuinely interested in that part of the art world that apparently believes that the best way to make art is to cause harm—the idea that art (or at least "avant-garde" art) must somehow hurt someone: the audience, a bystander, or artists themselves—self-destructiveness is another part of this tradition. There's a strong tradition in the visual arts since at least 1960 that has embraced "causing harm" as a working procedure, and as a sign that art is occurring. I'm thinking of artists like the Viennese Actionists, Chris Burden, Vito Acconci, Francis Alÿs, and Damien Hirst, among many others. And I don't think this tradition or mentality is an exclusively white cis male thing—VALIE EXPORT, Yoko Ono, Marina Abramović, and many others artists of various backgrounds have made art that's rooted in actually harming persons.
(Pauses to relisten to "Joe the Lion": "Tell you who you are / if you nail me to my car.")
(Pauses also to rewatch the music video for Xiu Xiu's "Dear God, I Hate Myself." And Low's "Breaker.")
I of course might be wrong (I might always be wrong), but I suspect that Janey Smith genuinely believes himself part of that tradition. By looking backward, I meant to put both his work, and that tradition, under more scrutiny. But at the same time, I'm also not trying to condemn that larger tradition as a whole. If anything, I'm trying to find a way to think about it: where it came from, how it operates, why it might be problematic to conceive of "good art" as "that which hurts someone." (Art is what we want it to be. What do we want art to be?)
This debate isn't limited to Janey Smith; I think we're all of us seeped in certain traditions and assumptions, and ways of conceptualizing art, and we should always be critically aware of that. (I know I internalized a lot of these attitudes I'm describing here. And I like and admire a lot of art made in this tradition that I'm describing.) For instance, in the wake of E.R. Kennedy's recent accusations against Tao Lin, I've seen some people debating whether Richard Yates is good or bad writing. Another way of expressing my point would be to ask, "Why is the quality of Richard Yates as writing at all relevant to Kennedy's accusations?" (That's a genuine question, and I imagine there are many who would argue that the harm and the quality can't be separated—as I've said, a great many artists obviously think harm is an essential component of making art.)
In my opinion, making art, whether it's good or bad—and I consider Richard Yates an excellent novel—doesn't in any way excuse or justify hurting people. And beyond that, I think it's probably not desirable to equate being an artist with being someone who has to hurt people.

Pa. man charged with killing his mother with a baseball bat in her home
Nov 27, 2021 Skeletons Svg, Skullcap Svg
SHAMOKIN — The son of a woman whose body was found in a blood-splattered bedroom outside Shamokin last Sunday has been charged with her murder.
Christopher M. Depka, 39, was arraigned Friday on charges of homicide, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated and simple assault robbery, theft receiving stolen property and access device fraud.
He is accused of using an aluminum baseball bat to kill Sarah E. Jones, 61, in her West Holly Street home in Coal Twp.
The assault occurred sometime between 9:56 a.m. last Saturday and 11:26 a.m. Sunday when the body was found concealed under several blankets, Coal Twp police said.
An autopsy determined Jones suffered a fractured skull, they said. Blood was discovered on her cell phone, police said.
Police went to the home to conduct a welfare check at the request of a neighbor who had been unable to reach Jones on Saturday.
They said they found blood splattered on the wall and ceiling in the bedroom.
During a subsequent search, police said they found a baseball bat covered with hair and blood in a box under a desk in Depka's bedroom.
Depka was found in the bathroom, ripping up the floor, telling police he intended to replace it.
Depka was arrested Sunday on charges of possession of methamphetamine, a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
He had been jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail but that has been changed to no bail because of the homicide charge.
Also found in the bathroom, according to a police affidavit, were a syringe with a needle attached and a black bag containing syringes, needles, suspected marijuana and a white substance.
When Depka was searched police said they found a bag whose contents tested positive for methamphetamine. The bag was in the pocket of a pair of shorts he was wearing under his pants
According to police, surveillance video showed Depka leaving the home for about an hour last Saturday afternoon. While gone, he used his mother's bank card to withdraw $200 from an ATM in a drug store, they said.
The News-Item in Shamokin, quoting the arrest affidavit, reported Depka told police his mother had evicted him from the home but recently allowed him to return.
He also admitted he knew his mother was dead, he was a methamphetamine user and that he would get the house when she died, the report states.

May 31, 2005 by Marc Galea Press Releases
Tune-In meets Marc Galea and discovers how musical dreams can become reality. You got to admit it; at least at one point in our lives we've had the dream – spotlights on and nothing but six feet of stage between us and a cheering crowd, as our fingers slides though the notes of a five minute butt kicking guitar solo, raging amplifiers and fans go delirious!
Ok! Boom boom reality check, pop goes the dream bubble and we're back in the real world pushing pens and mobile phone buttons to our everyday lives; and all the remains of that dream is the wish that one day we'll be able to play an instrument and not just an MP3 player. But finally that dream might actually become reality, thanks to Marc Galea and the Euro Institute of Music. Born out of a dream to create a music school where individuals learn to play what they want to play without the rigorous years of studying classical music, Marc transformed the Euro Institute of Music in Hamrun into a platform for a new teaching concept, based not only on interpretation but also improvisation and logic thinking – a teaching style that encourages and motivates students to be creative and express themselves artistically. In simple terms, if anyone ever considered learning how to play an instrument, but was discouraged by the years of meticulous academic syllabi provided by conservative music academies, Marc offers the solution – join one of the institute's courses and you'll be playing from day one!
Marc&'s dedication to music is not a thing of late, but rather an ever growing passion. From the early days playing in a teenage punk group, to more recently, strumming guitar in several local rock bands; Marc always knew his life would walk down the melody path and much to the norm's disapproval, he gave academics the back seats through his life, leaving the steering to music. At 25, a qualified teacher from the London College of Music, studying in the UK under leading guitar tutor John Mizarolli, Marc Galea is aware of the important role and impact music plays in our lives, something he transfers to his students relentlessly.
Marc has developed courses to help any budding music lover take his passion to another level – that of performing. The institute offers students of all ages (and that means anyone who can carry an instrument), the possibility of taking up courses in practically any genre and form they dream, from electrical, classical and bass guitar to drums, piano and synth, violin, brass instruments wood wind instruments, voice classical and pop theory and improvisation, DJ-ing, sound engineering as well as art. The institute boasts some of Malta's foremost artists as tutors, including Marvic Lewis for voice, Bibi and Reuben Navarro (Fakawi) for drums and Marc and Alex Mizzi on guitars.
Importance of aesthetically pleasing surroundings is stressed at the institute with modern and air-conditioned premises; the Euro Institute boasts eighteen sound-proof classrooms, ready geared with instruments and amplifiers for budding musicians to simply plug and play. And finally for the artists – a large art studio flooded with natural light on the top floor.
Finally, forget about the typical concerto and prize giving ceremonies for the old folks, the institute gives students a chance to form bands and play in a fully fledged rock gig at the end of the term, on a real stage, in a real venue, in front of a real crowd. Keeping it real – is the way things go here.
Convinced? Interested? I sure am! Give Marc a call or visit the Euro Institute of Music at 631, St.Joseph High Road, Hamrun. Tel: 21226555 Fax: 21226282, or email: [email protected] and get playing!

Hi! New video! Check it out!
I absolutely love the thumbnail that MulberryArt created for me!!
For a list of everything that is new or different in the latest build (it's a really long list!!) please click "Continue Reading"!
A student who needs to vomit will now travel to the *nearest* toilet, instead of traveling to one specific toilet every time.
If a student sees you poisoning their food, you will lose reputation, and they will refuse to eat the food.
Students will no longer ignore murder or corpses if they are eating emetically-poisoned food.
If a student sees you poisoning somebody else's food, you will lose reputation.
Students will now react to the sight of a student who is dying from poison.
It's now possible to drown a student who is vomiting into a toilet.
Omitting students will now make vomiting sound effects.
Horuda now eats lunch in the school cafeteria, facing Toga. This is to give players a good location for testing how students react to seeing someone die from poison, testing a student's reaction to murder during a poison animation, etc.
If you put a headache-inducing substance into a student's bento, that student will visit the nurse and ask for medicine to numb the pain. This will cause the nurse to visit the medicine cabinet and retrieve some pills for the student. The student will eat the pills and then spend time resting on the couch in the infirmary until their headache goes away.
The tranquilizer that is used to kidnap students is now inside of the infirmary's medicine cabinet. The only way to obtain the tranquilizer is to give a student a headache so that they go to the nurse and make the nurse open the medicine cabinet.
Drinking fountains have been added to the school, and it is possible for Yandere-chan to use the water from these fountains to wash the blood off of weapons.
Yandere-chan can now find a large, heavy pipe wrench in one of the school's storage rooms. This wrench can be used as a murder weapon, but can also be used to sabotage the pipes underneath drinking fountains, which creates water puddles.
Yandere-chan can now find a power strip in the A/V Room. This power strip can be plugged into any wall sockets that you might find. After plugging a power strip into a wall socket, Yandere-chan can use a screwdriver to expose the wiring of the power strip.
If Yandere-chan flips a switch that activates a wall socket while a sabotaged power strip is in a puddle of water, the puddle will become electrified and will electrocute anyone who stands in it.
There is now a new vending machine in school that allows Yandere-chan to purchase a bag of chips. Yandere-chan can offer the chips to any student in school. After eating the chips, the student will become thirsty, and will go to the nearest drinking fountain to drink water.
From now on, whenever the player attempts to attend class during circumstances when it's not possible to do so (because the player is holding a bloody weapon or something like that) a notification will appear onscreen to inform the player of the reason why they currently cannot attend class.
Updated the layout of the infirmary; it needed more beds, because now it's possible for numerous students to be resting in the infirmary simultaneously (Yandere-chan, the boy who naps in the infirmary, and two students who traveled to the infirmary after being drugged with a sedative).
Students now turn and look towards Yandere-chan if they hear her footsteps during Low School Atmosphere.
Changed Kyuji/Toga's reaction to a camera being aimed at their face.
Added new idle/walk animations for Toga.
Added 1 new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.
Added 1 new track to Mission Mode.
With the Easter Egg menu open, press the F1 key to enable rain. Open the easter egg menu a second time and press F1 again to put a raincoat on Yandere-chan. This is purely for fun, and is not intended to become an aspect of gameplay. The addition of weather would change the game's design significantly, since it would effect many of the game's features. Because it would extend the length of the game's development considerably, it's not something I am planning to put in the game. You're welcome to look at it in case you're curious to know what it'd be like, but you shouldn't anticipate it becoming a feature of the game.
Fixed bug that caused the wrong student to appear in Yandere-chan's basement after eliminating Kokona with the Betray method.
Fixed bug that caused Yandere-chan to wear cooking club accessories in her living room cutscene with Kokona.
Fixed bug that made it possible to send a mind-broken slave to kill a student who hadn't actually spawned yet.
Fixed bug that would cause a female character to disappear if her hair was adjusted using Pose Mode.
Fixed bug that prevented Yandere-chan's clothing from rendering properly during the KLK easter egg.
Fixed bug that made it impossible to pick up a tranquilizer provided by Info-chan.
Fixed bug that made it impossible to activate the Shipgirl or Miyuki easter eggs.
Fixed bug that made it impossible to complete Musume's task.
More changes/additions to facilitate "emergent gameplay", maybe a few of the general gameplay improvements that begin to appear in the video starting at the 9-minute, 34-second mark, and then it's back to the pre-Osana checklist items!
IKR I'm so excited to download the build!
No, he plays the game even when there's a SUPER small change and it's getting super annoying.
I thought twitch banned yandere sim?
Yandere Dev plays video games on stream, he doesn't stream development or anything like that., moondough15.
I'm talking about other streamers not being allowed to play yandere sim on twitch.
I started to follow your progress since the very beginning and I can barely say that is really strange this isn't considered a real videogame, you always made an excellent job, not just for the game feature but also for the player's experience.
I can't wait till jay makes a video about the rain, being he wanted that so much!!
Im curious to know how the police or the school sports team react to Osanas body in the bottom of the pool and what consequence would it have, considering the pool. Would the sports team not be able to use it?
I would wish you can get the tranquilizer on pickpocketing from the nurse also. Ore maybe it is still inside?
Yan Dev, why don't you make Yan Chan make little comments to herself when approaching something which could be used as an elimination method? What I mean is: When Yan Chan is approaching, let's say, the drinking fountain, she could say something like "I could use this for something" or "What if I loosened it little…" Or maybe that would only happen if Yandere Vision was activated? Just an idea I had so new players would know what to do with some things.
This is a really good idea!
Yandere Dev 😀 I have a question.
hey Yandev! When I was in highschool, we all basically ate randomly around the school, I would sometimes eat in the hallways or in the Library, so having the kids spaced out around the school during lunch is really realistic!
I really like the idea about implementing a game over for killing over half of the school's population. I really have been wondering about that, about what would happen if you kill too many people, and how that would obviously seriously screw up the gameplay as the story progressed.
Aw man, when it all comes together it's going to be amazing.
yay the mode that is inspired by my night mod is here ! thx dev !
yandere dev but where is the parrot-shaped weapon?
I guess my question is about the Announcement Room. I know it will be used for security in the future but what about when normal, who will it be used by? The Staff? Or students? Will there be announcements at different times of the day? Is this everyday or a weekly thing? If you were to implement weather would they talk about it? Upcoming exams? School field trips? Holidays? Special events like an upcoming play or special guest? A recycled introduction of motivation for students, and possibly an anthem (I am from Canada and we always stood and sang O Canada). Would they talk about mysteries activities or events, cation and warn others? Remind students of the rules and so forth? Saying they found unsuspicious missing items? Talk about missing students and ask for prayers for their safe return or students to report any information? I can see numerous opportunities that could be used. I remember in Persona 4 Golden how at the beginning on the intercom a staff member told the students to stay in their classes until they had further information from the police and giving the students orders to return home immediately. And that just created a new question, if a teacher has a teachers pet report a body and it's still there and they call the police why don't they call or inform the rest of the staff that there is a murderer on the loose? We're one of them could warn the students in the Announcement Room to go to their home room or hide, or have some type of cautionary action like in school shootings. I know it would be time consuming and more hard but I think it would make it more challenging and difficult and make more consequences for the player for murder. And maybe to prevent this the player would have to tamper or break or mess things up in the Announcement Room to buy more time before the school is in panick. Or till the Staff member goes to the Head Master who may or may not have access to his own system to access the intercoms. I am very curious about this.
Maybe the rain shouldn't be a random thing, but it could rain on specific, scripted days. This could allow yandere chan to use a weapon like an umbrella without being considered suspicious, hide her face with a raincoat, or leave bloody weapons in a hidden place outside to wash them of blood when she went to class. It could also lead to more students staying inside making more potential witnesses to her nefarious deeds. It might not even stop at rain, maybe it could also be cloudy. Take the popular girls for example, on a normal day, they'd sit by the pool and tan, but on a cloudy day, they'd just go inside. Or maybe on a day of extreme heat, the athletic students wouldn't go running. Maybe you could even cause the athletic rival (Forgot her name, sorry) to have a heat stroke if you stole her water bottle while she was off running, because she'd refuse to let the heat stop her from exercising. Maybe on a windy day you could open a classroom window and have a student's papers go flying out, causing them to get in trouble.
I hope Kubz Scouts releases a yandere simulator video on this soon, So excited!!!!
Its awesome what you´ve done but you need to take a break!!
1. Why do the students not have bags when walking to school?
2. If there will be DLC rivals, then will there be more characters, new clubs, or a whole new place to explore?
Hey yanderedev!,I have a suggestion.
I know when Osana will be here! When. It's. Ready. How many times does he need to say that?
Love the progress! Keep it up Devpai!!!
i have an idea for yandere simulator.
other than this game murder and other eliminated features, the player needs to take one exam in each week (eg 5th week of psychology, 9th week chemistry) in order to be a real school. and these exams should be like extreme simple space filling or matching.
I been really liking these videos alot but I want the game a bit harder, which I meaning by eliminating some random students. When I saw Toga die in front of me and that girl from the gardening club just walking past him like "Nothing here to plant, bye!", some things should cause sound, like ruffling in paper. Not trying to argue, but just to make the game a bit harder or give ideas. I know when you attack someone, being notice by the victim will let out a scream, usually when they die they should fall onto the ground they should make a thump or some sort of noise depending what surface or floor you kill the student on, this will attract a student's attention depending on what floor you kill them on. And now since the atmosphere attracts students to footsteps(player's footsteps), this shouldn't have to only be limited to student council, low atmosphere, and other. About stealth kills they can be changed to where the student's hearing ranged can hear the thump or something . If you're reading this please sincerely know I mean no bad harm for anything, keep up the great work and make your reality come true.
Stealth kills as mean having a shorter hearing range.
I forgot one more thing when I mean by Toga being ignored and left dead and a gardening girl walking pass, I meant another person's video I saw.
Can I make a recommendation? I do my schools announcements in the morning, and they take like 3 minuets, but it let's people know what clubs will be meeting after school, how a sports team did, what to expect for lunch, etc. Do you think that could be implemented in the game? I just though it'd be an interesting 2-3 minuets where maybe a teacher isnt in class and you're able to call a student, or if Ayano asks to do announcements on whatever day (friday), that gives her an extra 5 minuets late to class so she can tamper with stuff and have a valid excuse to me late to class. She could also get ahold of some equipment in the announcement room like a screwdriver or something like that. Idk I thought it would be cool.
Also the cafe minigame, shouldn't it also be used to buy other things at like a store like laxatives to use on a student while in the cooking club, to make them sick? Or a card to use as a fake love letter for a student. Or, something like that?
How do I get the wrench?
AHH!! I'm downloading the build now and I can't stay put, lol. Can't wait to play it and see the amazing progress!
Just a few ideas. As well as info-chan of course.
Regarding: "It would be logical if they ate in the cafeteria, but this is a stealth game, so witnesses need to be spread out across the school." I've taught at 5 different Japanese High Schools. Of those, three didn't have a cafeteria at all. In those with a cafeteria, eating at the cafeteria was completely optional, and the majority of people would bring a bento and eat elsewhere anyway, or just buy some junk food and eat elsewhere anyway. You're fine.
Kinda disappointed that you can't shove the fire extinguisher's hose into someone's mouth and spray it.
That would be such a cool elimination method!!
ayy i want to know since you add some easter egg i guess?that when you press the easter egg menu and press f2 and it was like a mission mode but idk what it is and nemesis is there. i try to kill her but there no F to attack so it means we cant kill nemesis in that mode?
I have a problem; I can't see the character… Only the color pink.
you CAN frame the delinquents for murder. its not just kokona.
1)Maybe in the miscellaneous picture, there should be different poses. And if you take pictures with certain people they'll react a certain way like the social butterflies will do a happy posing pose.
Also I noticed that when you choose which gender interested in it turns into oppisite gender. So I think maybe you can choose you're lover and your gender.
I mean try to implement all 4 if you can ☺ I'd love to see them all in the game it'll be so awesome! But the ones I'm most excited for is 4 and 2!
Also, clarification on no.1 I mean like, if you press a certain button on your keyboard the pose that you make will change, and when you point the camera at a certain persona their poses will be different from yours, but match the concept.
Omg guys. If you change a girl students persona to persona number 7 (lovestruck) and go to the game and make them see a body. They will say: "oh my god is that a dead body!!?? I need to find senpai and get out of here!!" Then, She will tell Senpai that theres a killer at school and the need to go to the police to report it! I really liked it lol,it gives you a glimpse of what Osana will be like. I'm serious try it I swear its true. Btw try it in the latest February 3rd build.

Watch This Huge 'Waterfall' of Lava Pour Into the Ocean
By Heather Brady 01 February 2017
The lava flow is a result of Hawaiian land collapsing on December 31.
A torrent of lava has been gushing from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano into the Pacific Ocean over the past few days, putting on quite a show.
The "waterfall" of lava is located at the Kamokuna lava delta in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, and it began after several acres of land collapsed on December 31, 2016.
The National Park Service posted this to its Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park account:
Hiking and boating near the lava flow is being discouraged by the National Park Service.
Videographer Warren Fintz took the footage of the lava flow for the above video from the legal viewing area. He observed two hikers, who are highlighted in the video, as they walk dangerously close to the edge of the lava flow. The hikers then have to scramble to safety as a portion of the bottom of the cliff falls into the ocean, and seconds later an explosion from the sea shot debris onto the area of the cliff where they had been standing, Fintz says.
Fitz took the footage in late January, and he spent the night near the cliff when it first collapsed at the end of last year.
"This is by far one of the most amazing events I've witnessed in nearly 10 years of photographing lava," Fintz said in an email to National Geographic. "I was told the head geologist at HVO said he's never seen anything like it either."

How to Create a Nether Portal in Minecraft - Step by Step Guide
What is the Nether in the world in Minecraft?
The Minecraft universe can be divided into 3 dimensions: Overworld, Nether e End. In them the player can get various improvements to their equipment, new enemies to fight or trade with and all kinds of fauna and flora.
The Nether is in this world a parallel to the idea of hell , being a place with rivers and oceans of lava and magma. In addition, it contains ghosts, fire entities (cubes of flame and magma), missing skeletons (withers) and many other enemies.
On the other hand, it is of great interest to travel to the Nether for useful potion materials, as well as the mythical material Netherite, which has a higher hardness than diamond. This will allow the player to gear up better for this hostile environment and to prepare for the end of the game.
What is the function of the Nether portals?
To travel in the different dimensions of the game, the players they have to go through magical portals. In the case of the Nether, the player must create his own, he can also create several.
This is very useful, as traveling through the Nether is 8 times faster than traveling the Overworld. This means that we can build a portal system that allows us to travel great distances in the Overworld, without having to overcome obstacles on the ground.
Materials needed to create a portal to the Nether
I portali del Nether they are built with a single material, obsidian. This is not very difficult to obtain, the difficult thing will be to extract it from the place where it is. For this reason we will need the following in creating the portal:
A bucket of water
A diamond pick (3 diamonds and two wooden sticks)
A lighter (flint and steel)
A lava pool (of at least 10 lava blocks)
How are obsidian blocks mined in Minecraft?
The first thing we need to get is Lava. Since the lava is a bit difficult to find on the surface, it's best to go down to our favorite mine until you find a sizable pool.
Then with our bucket that we will have filled with water earlier, we will pour the water block so that it spreads over the surface of the lava blocks. Now we have to extract the obsidian blocks who appeared with a diamond pickaxe.
You have to be very careful when extracting it because once the block is extracted it can fall on the lava that is below it and be lost forever.
How can you create these portals in Minecraft?
Unlike portals to the End, portals to the Nether can be created in survival mode. However, the creation method in creative mode is similar.
In creative mode
Here we will have the chance to find the obsidian blocks in the inventory of the creative mode. We just need to build an obsidian rectangle 4 blocks long by 5 blocks high (14 blocks total).
Alternatively, in addition to the fire blocks, the purple interior of the portal can be found as a single block. This can be used to accomplish decorative portals of different sizes.
In survival mode
In survival mode, mining these blocks with even the best Enchanted Pickaxe we can get without going to the Nether took a long time to get. extract the 14 obsidian blocks. To make our life easier, we will only mine 10.
So we just need to make a rectangle 4 blocks long by 5 high. The difference is that the corners of our portal will not be obsidian, these portal segments can be replaced with any other blocks to save material.
How can I activate my portal if it has already been done?
Once we have created the portal to the Nether, we must "light" one of the inner sides of the portal with our lighter (by right clicking). Once the portal is active, we can send animals or enter ourselves.
Keep in mind that a similar portal will appear in the Nether where you will come out and this it can be extinguished by explosions like that of ghosts. On the other hand, removing one of the 10 main blocks from the portal will close the portal.

YBN Cordae, Trae Tha Truth Arrested at Breonna Taylor Protest in Louisville
July 16, 2020, 4:10 pm 2.4k Views
Rappers YBN Cordae and Trae Tha Truth were among 87 people arrested on Tuesday afternoon (July 14) for protesting outside the home of Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron demanding justice in the police-caused killing of Breonna Taylor.
"The protestors chose to occupy the front yard of a home owned by the Kentucky Attorney General and continuously chant towards he and his neighbors. At his request, they were trespassed from the property," read a statement from a spokesperson for the Louisville Police Department. "All were given the opportunity to leave, were told that remaining on the property would be unlawful, and chose not to leave."
According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, Cordae (born Cordae Amari Dunston), Truth (born Frazier Othel Thompson III) and their fellow activists were demanding that Republican Cameron, the state's first black attorney general, charge the three police officers who murdered 26-year-old ER tech Taylor inside her home on March 13, when plainclothes officers using a no-knock warrant broke down her door and unloaded more than 20 rounds into the apartment after Taylor's boyfriend fired once out of fear that intruders were breaking in; Taylor was shot eight times.
To date, one officer had been fired over the incident, but none have been charged.
The LMPD declined to confirm the names of those arrested in the incident or provide their bail status.
While a spokesperson for Cordae declined to comment on the arrest at press time, among the others also reportedly arrested in the incident, according to Courier-Journal, were Bronx-based rapper Mysonne, Love and Hip-Hop star Yandy Smith, The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Porsha Williams, Minneapolis NAACP President Leslie Redmond and Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills.
The group of more than 100 marched to Cameron's house during a protest organized by the national social justice organization Until Freedom, with the paper reporting that dozens of officers surrounded the protesters, many of whom sat down on Cameron's lawn before they were handcuffed.
The protesters were charged with the Class D Felony of intimidating a participant in the legal process, as well as the Class B misdemeanor second-degree disorderly conduct and the violation of third-degree criminal trespass.
Cameron asked the police to remove the protestors from his property, but they reportedly refused to leave. Taylor's killing has become an international cause in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, sparking national and international protests and a massive social media campaign urging Cameron to charge the officers involved in the case with murder.
Linda Sarsour, one of the founders of Until Freedom, who was also arrested in the incident, told the New York Times, "No one engaged in any threats of violence nor engaged in any violent activity toward Mr. Cameron or anybody else."
Mark Osler, a former federal prosecutor and law professor at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, told the paper that the felony charges were "unusual" since felony intimidation charges are typically filed against someone trying to intimidate a witness or juror in a court case, not against protesters who gather on a public official's property.
"That would usually be a trespass, not an intimidation charge," Osler said. "Certainly not a felony."
Everyone from Beyoncé, to Lizzo, Justin Bieber, Queen Latifah, Sia, Common, Demi Lovato, Janet Jackson, Cardi B and dozens more have used the hashtag #JuticeForBreonna and #SayHerName to demand action

More women artists lighting up Fitzroy streetscape
"The future is female," says artist Luzena Adams, one of the record number of women participating in this year's Gertrude Street Projection Festival.
Words by Buffy Gorrilla
Women artists are set to paint the town red in this year's Gertrude Street Projection festival.
She may have a point.
As festival co-curator Arie Rain Glorie confirms: "We actually have a really diverse base of artists and a lot of women; easily 70 per cent of the artists are women, which is great because men are still often holding power in the gallery world."
Rain Glorie's intuition is supported by an Artnews article that last year asked 20 of the most influential and powerful women in the industry whether there was a gender bias. Their response, according to the magazine, was "a resounding 'yes' ".
Adams is an Australian photographer living in New York. The Brooklyn-based artist works primarily with well-known American lifestyle brands, and is well aware that she is working in a predominantly male field.
"The photography and art world are definitely male-dominated industries," she says. "The effect of this is that more choices are being made by men and generally with a masculine perspective and agenda. Especially in film."
Rain Glorie says it was not a conscious decision to increase the female representation at this year's festival, which runs from Friday to July 24.
He and co-curator Amanda Haskard "put the call out and invited artists based on artistic merit of work that we had seen before. Both Amanda and I are strong feminists."
Among those answering the call was Lauren Dunn, an art student at the Victorian College of the Arts, who works from a shared, on-campus studio filled with piles of timber, magazines and books, fluorescent ratchet straps and lots and lots of colour.
Her fourth time exhibiting at the festival, she is unfazed by any pervading sexism in the art world.
"I like to think that determination, hard work and skill will pave my way for success in the art world," she says, before adding: "Naive, maybe?"
For the past eight years, the festival has lit up buildings along Fitzroy's Gertrude Street, one of Melbourne's distinctive inner urban arts precincts, as the facades of restaurants, record shops and high-end clothing stores are transformed into mesmerizing artworks.
As well as these imposing, building-sized animations, artists also use the adjacent laneways and side streets to bring their art into the viewer's path. The art is fleeting — it is projected from 6pm to midnight each day of the festival. Once the lights are switched off, the art ceases to exist.
"It is a community-based festival that lights up the street and really crosses the intersection between community art and contemporary art," explains Rain Glorie.
Almost 150 artists applied to have their work displayed this year. But Rain Glorie cannot say exactly how many artists will be involved overall.
"I couldn't even give you a figure," he conceded. "Only because we have close to 40 sites on the actual street but then a lot of those artists go away and collaborate and there are whole groups of artists working on art works."
Rain Glorie pointed to the work of Adams and Dunn as projections that he was particularly eager to see.
"I am excited about Luzena Adams who's got a really amazing exhibit that is beautiful and cinematic – it's of a red-headed woman coming down the side of the building, which will be really great."
Adams filmed her frequent collaborator and muse Lauren Isabeau in a cold pool, with her red locks swirling underwater. Adams was concerned her piece might not make this year's roster because Isabeau is naked.
"The nudity is very subtle, however, and is an important aspect of the work. I wanted it to be a timeless celebration of the enigma of femininity and, of course, redheads."
Dunn developed her video artwork One Truthby mimicking a popular 2011 L'Oreal advertisement starring the singer, actress and dancer Jennifer Lopez — but with a twist.
"I dress up as JLo and perform the advert word for word. All the dialogue is pulled from the advert and placed onto a separate screen as text," she says. "By dressing up as JLo, I use humour to play and highlight the language seduction techniques strategically used by advertising companies. I'm also using the work to question gender stereotypes and self-perception."
But if flagship museums are not working quickly enough to change the gender balance, how can one modest festival in Melbourne effect change in the art world? Dunn credits Rain Glorie and Haskard for taking a stand.
"Clearly Amanda and Arie are actively addressing the male-dominated art world," she says. "It's very exciting, and I feel proud to be making a contribution."
Adams, meanwhile, is optimistic that the shift on Gertrude Street is just the start of greater inroads.
"Having so many women participating in the [festival] is great because it helps establish a precedent," she says. "It's refreshing and actually ironic that it wouldn't even be commented on if the proportion was the other way. The involvement women have in any given thing simply makes it more commonplace."

Q: How to transfer tables in Outlook 2010 emails to Excel 2010 I have around 2000 emails which were sent to me in a zip file. The emails have the following structure:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/429285
All mails have the same Subject. As can be seen from the screenshot, each mail has multiple tables. These tables have varying number of rows with each mail. My task is to get all of these multiple tables contained in 2000 mails into excel to form graphs and charts. Can you please help me with how to go about this through automation. I tried a few solutions available but found nothing which could transfer tables within Outlook emails to Excel. I have a deadline for this task and any prompt help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

A: This worked for me.
Add a reference to Microsoft HTML Object Library In your VBA project (under Tools >> References in the VB editor)

Assumes outlook is already open, and your mails are stored in the path MSG_PATH.
Sub Tester()

Const MSG_PATH As String = "C:\_Stuff\test\mails\"

Dim ol, m, t, r, c
Dim doc As New MSHTML.HTMLDocument
Dim rng As Range, rw As Object
Dim f

    Set ol = GetObject(, "outlook.application")

    Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("B2")

    f = Dir(MSG_PATH & "*.msg")

    Do While Len(f) > 0

        Set m = ol.CreateItemFromTemplate(MSG_PATH & f)
        doc.body.innerHTML = m.htmlbody
        m.Close False

        For Each t In doc.getElementsByTagName("table")
            rng.Offset(0, -1).Value = f
            For r = 0 To t.Rows.Length - 1
                Set rw = t.Rows(r)
                For c = 0 To rw.Cells.Length - 1
                    'ignore any problems with merged cells etc
                    On Error Resume Next
                    rng.Offset(r, c).Value = rw.Cells(c).innerText
                    On Error GoTo 0

Q: Javascript three.js smooth camera motion In javascript, I can use the document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event){...}); to add a key listener. However, when using three.js and moving the camera with the key, the camera moves once, delays, and then continues moving. This is because the computer delays key holding for a fixed amount of time. How would I go about making the camera move smoothly when the key is pressed?

A: Try starting a continuous movement on keydown, and halting on keyup. That's a general way to do hold inputs.

Medha declines Karnataka award
Social activist Medha Patkar has declined the Karnataka government's Basava Puraskara 2010 on grounds of "disagreement with certain State policies and inability of the government to deal with mining scam and other scandals."
The award carries a citation and cash prize worth Rs. 10 lakh.
Ms. Patkar said:
"It would have been an honour to receive the award in the name of revolutionary saint poet, philosopher Shri Basaveshwara of the 12th century, who promoted social change, reform and harmony, but the collective opinion of movements I am associated with suggests that the Karnataka government has not been able to deal with the mining scam and other scandals.
"The Lokayukta controversy is not yet over and there are disagreements with people's movements on certain policies related to farmers, workers, unorganised sector workers, slum dwellers and the [State] government's attempts at privatisation and corporatisation of scarce natural resources — land, water, forests and minerals."
"I, therefore, would like to state with humility my inability to accept the award, which you may be free to give to any other deserving activist," she said in a letter to the State government on Tuesday.
Ms. Patkar, who is the founder of the Narmada Bachao Andolan and the National Alliance of People's Movements, was chosen for the award for her "contribution towards social change and promotion of the principles which Saint Basaveshwara championed."
The award was announced by the Department of Kannada and Culture through a government notification dated December 3, 2011.

United Nations: A round-up of Newcastle's players in action for their countries over weekend
Written by Dan King
Several Newcastle United players were in action for their countries over the weekend.
Christian Atsu scored for Ghana on Friday, in a friendly game against Ghanaian club side Asante Kotoko. The game was hastily arranged after Sierra Leone - who were due to face the Black Stars in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier - were suspended by FIFA.
Atsu, who started the game, scored in the 55th minute at the Baba Yara sports stadium in Kumasi.
Meanwhile, Ki Sung-yueng played for 85 minutes as South Korea beat Uruguay for the first time. The Newcastle midfielder was replaced by Hwang In-beom for the final five minutes of the friendly in Seoul.
Fabian Schär started and finished the game in the centre of defence as Switzerland lost 2-1 to Belgium in a UEFA Nations League clash in Brussels.
On Saturday, Martin Dúbravka was in goal for Slovakia as they took on Czech Republic in Trnava in the Nations League. He made a fantastic save to deny Matej Vydra in the first half but was beaten twice, either side of Marek Hamsik's goal on his 108th international appearance.
Ciaran Clark was an unused substitute for Republic of Ireland as they drew 0-0 with Denmark in Dublin, while goalkeeper Otto Huuhtanen watched from the bench as Finland's under-19s lost 3-0 to their Italian counterparts.

Q: C - Unable to implement Tiny Encryption Algorithm (Unexpected Values) For grins, I'm trying to implement a version of the Tiny Encryption Algorithm (TEA) that will eventually go on an Arduino.  Yes, I know that TEA is broken, but that's ok -- it won't be used for anything other than my meandering curiosity.
Output:
Encrypted: [ DC2F C574 ]
Decrypted: [ 698D 5E42 ]
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

uint16_t KEY[4];

void encrypt(uint16_t *v) {
  uint16_t v0=v[0], v1=v[1], sum=0, i;           // set up
  uint16_t delta=0x9e37;                         // a key schedule constant
  for (i=0; i < 32; i++) {                       // basic cycle start
    sum += delta;
    v0 += ((v1<<4) + KEY[0]) ^ (v1 + sum) ^ ((v1>>5) + KEY[1]);
    v1 += ((v0<<4) + KEY[2]) ^ (v0 + sum) ^ ((v0>>5) + KEY[3]);
  }                                              /* end cycle */
  v[0]=v0; v[1]=v1;
}

void decrypt (uint16_t* v) {
    uint16_t v0=v[0], v1=v[1], sum=0xC6EF, i;  /* set up */
    uint16_t delta=0x9e37;                     /* a key schedule constant */
    for (i=0; i<32; i++) {                     /* basic cycle start */
        v1 -= ((v0<<4) + KEY[2]) ^ (v0 + sum) ^ ((v0>>5) + KEY[3]);
        v0 -= ((v1<<4) + KEY[0]) ^ (v1 + sum) ^ ((v1>>5) + KEY[1]);
        sum -= delta;
    }                                              /* end cycle */
    v[0]=v0; v[1]=v1;
}

int main()
{
        // uint16_t is the same as an unsigned short
        // equal to 2 bytes or 16 bits
        // each hex is a nibble so 0xFFFF or 65535 is max val
        uint16_t v[] = {0xFFFF, 0xFFFF};

        encrypt(v);

        printf(" Encrypted: ");
        printf("[ %X %X ]", v[0], v[1]);

        decrypt(v);
        printf("\n Decrypted: ");
        printf("[ %X %X ]", v[0], v[1]);
        printf("\n");

        return 0;
}

A: You are not setting the correct value for sum in decryption. The value of sum after the encryption is 0xC6E0. Set that value in decryption instead of 0xC6EF
sum=0xC6E0;


The update introduces free voice calling, group creation, and message forwarding features already available on iOS.
Facebook this week updated its Android Messenger app to version 4.0, introducing free voice calling and a number of other new features.
The app now lets you make free calls over Wi-Fi, even to those in other countries, a feature that first arrived on iOS early last year. "Talk as long as you want and stay in touch wherever you are," Facebook said in its release notes. You can also make calls over a data connection, though standard data charges will apply.
Meanwhile, the update also includes the group creation and message forwarding features first rolled out on iOS last week. You can now create groups for people you message the most, complete with a catchy name and photo, to keep your contacts more organized (see photo). The forwarding feature lets you easily share a message or photo with someone who isn't in the conversation.
Finally, the refreshed Android app also now lets you create shortcuts offering up easy access to any conversation right from your home screen. This way, you won't have to navigate all the way through the app to get to an important message.
Facebook Messenger version 4.0 is available for download now in Google Play.
Facebook has been making serious moves on the messaging front lately, starting with its $16 billion acquisition of WhatsApp in February. The company also last month finally launched Messenger for Windows Phone, days after shuttering the Windows and Firefox versions of the service – a move that wasn't entirely surprising, given Facebook's increased focus on mobile as of late.


Lesson 44 – God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.
We cannot see in darkness and we cannot make light.
We make darkness and think that we can see, but truly we are not seeing.
Jesus tells us that we need to recognize that the light is within us.
We cannot see outside of us.
Vision is possible as we continue to practice.
In today's lesson we will be practicing reaching the light.
It may seem difficult but you have been training for this moment today.
Take your time and follow the instruction for the exercise.
If you forget, gently remind yourself to continue.
Longer time recommended but reduce if feel sense of strain.
This practice is the most natural and easy one for the trained mind just as it will seem unnatural for the untrained mind.
The good news is that your mind is no longer wholly untrained.
You are ready now to learn today's form of exercise.
You may find though stronger resistance.
Why would you feel stronger resistance?
Because today we are leaving behind everything that we currently believe and all the thoughts that we have made up.
Today's practice is a release from hell.
If you can just step away from the ego for just a moment you will see how meaningless and how fearful it really is.
Remind yourself that reaching the light is your escape from darkness.
Begin the practice by repeating today's idea with your eyes open.
Close your eyes slowly repeating the idea several times more.
Now sink into your mind, let go of every distraction and interference that may arise.
You are quietly sinking past them.
Try not to attach to any thought or image that may pop up.
You mind cannot be stopped unless you choose to stop it.
Observe your thoughts and move quietly past them.
Remind yourself how important this practice is today.
It has great value to you.
Remind yourself that you are attempting something very holy.
If you find resistance, pause to repeat today's idea with eyes closed unless you feel a sense of fear.
If you feel fear, open your eyes briefly.
Return then to closed yes.
If you start to experience some relaxation know that you are doing the exercises correctly.
You may feel that you are approaching the light.
Light is formless and without limit as you pass by your thoughts of this world.
Do not give power to the thoughts that would bind you to the world.
Additionally, repeat the idea today very often, with eyes either open or closed depending on what feels right to you.
Jesus adds that we be very determined not to forget today.
If you do forget, practice as soon as you remember.
Gently bring your mind back to the practice.


Prospective students: Below you will find a list of current areas of interest and funded projects. I am always looking for motivated graduate and undergraduate students who are interested in physics and math and numerical modeling applied to geophysics. Send me an email.
Applications of physics and math to geologic problems!
Area 1: What can we learn about plate tectonics from patterns of Cenozoic volcanic and magmatic activity in the western US?
So far, this project has been contributed to by three undergraduate students working with me on senior honors theses.
Area 2: What can we learn about lithospheric evolution, structure, and rheology from modeling deformation patterns observed at the earth's surface, for example, from geologic and geodetic studies?
Area 4: Most recently, I have been interested in volcanoes--specifically, how magma deforms, flows, mixes within and beneath volcanic systems.
