Instantiates a new column for the table. See
ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition.connectionconnection.add_column[ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements#add_column]
for available options.
Additional options are:
This method returns self
.
Examples
td.column(:granted, :boolean, index: true)
Short-hand examples
Instead of calling #column directly, you can also work with the
short-hand definitions for the default types. They use the type as the
method name instead of as a parameter and allow for multiple columns to be
defined in a single statement.
What can be written like this with the regular calls to column:
create_table :products do |t|
t.column :shop_id, :integer
t.column :creator_id, :integer
t.column :item_number, :string
t.column :name, :string, default: "Untitled"
t.column :value, :string, default: "Untitled"
t.column :created_at, :datetime
t.column :updated_at, :datetime
end
add_index :products, :item_number
can also be written as follows using the short-hand:
create_table :products do |t|
t.integer :shop_id, :creator_id
t.string :item_number, index: true
t.string :name, :value, default: "Untitled"
t.timestamps null: false
end
There's a short-hand method for each of the type values declared at the
top. And then there's #timestamps that'll add
created_at
and updated_at
as datetimes.
#references will add an appropriately-named _id column,
plus a corresponding _type column if the :polymorphic
option
is supplied. If :polymorphic
is a hash of options, these will
be used when creating the _type
column. The
:index
option will also create an index, similar to calling
add_index
[ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements#add_index]. So what can be
written like this:
create_table :taggings do |t|
t.integer :tag_id, :tagger_id, :taggable_id
t.string :tagger_type
t.string :taggable_type, default: 'Photo'
end
add_index :taggings, :tag_id, name: 'index_taggings_on_tag_id'
add_index :taggings, [:tagger_id, :tagger_type]
Can also be written as follows using references:
create_table :taggings do |t|
t.references :tag, index: { name: 'index_taggings_on_tag_id' }
t.references :tagger, polymorphic: true, index: true
t.references :taggable, polymorphic: { default: 'Photo' }
end


Factstone Benchmark
问题描述 :
Amtel has announced that it will release a 128-bit computer chip by 2010, a 256-bit computer by 2020, and so on, continuing its strategy of doubling the word-size every ten years. (Amtel released a 64-bit computer in 2000, a 32-bit computer in 1990, a 16-bit computer in 1980, an 8-bit computer in 1970, and a 4-bit computer, its first, in 1960.)
Amtel will use a new benchmark – the Factstone – to advertise the vastly improved capacity of its new chips. The Factstone rating is defined to be the largest integer n such that n! can be represented as an unsigned integer in a computer word.
Given a year 1960 <= y <= 2160, what will be the Factstone rating of Amtel's most recently released chip?

解题代码:
//* @author<EMAIL_ADDRESS>import java.util.*; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in); while(true) { int a=in.nextInt(); if(a==0) break; a-=1960; a/=10; a=(int)Math.pow(2, a+2); double k=0; int n=2; while(k< a) { k+=Math.log(n)/Math.log(2); n++; } System.out.println(n-2); } } }
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
int L[m+1][n+1];这样定义出错，这个在gcc上可以编译通过 在VS上不行 应该改为new 或者vector
我觉得是D哎……
分析的很详细！赞一个
涨姿势了
对，算是枚举吧，已修正
第二种想法，我想来好久，为啥需要一个newhead，发现是把最后一个节点一直返回到嘴上面这层函数。厉害，这道题之前没样子想过。
这道题目的核心一句话是：取还是不取。
如果当前取，则index+1作为参数。如果当前不取，则任用index作为参数。
这是研发类的题还是算法类？
正是我要找的，适合新手
a是根先忽略掉，递归子树。剩下前缀bejkcfghid和后缀jkebfghicd，分拆的原则的是每个子树前缀和后缀的节点个数是一样的，根节点出现在前缀的第一个，后缀的最后一个。根节点b出现后缀的第四个位置，则第一部分为四个节点，前缀bejk，后缀jkeb，剩下的c出现在后缀的倒数第2个，就划分为cfghi和 fghic，第3部分就为c、c
我是来看评论的

没有对题目进行一番分析，真是美中不足啊

He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness saith the Lord. These are the words of Christ; and they teach us how far we must imitate His life and character, if we seek true illumination, and deliverance from all blindness of heart. Let it be our most earnest study, therefore, to dwell upon the life of Jesus Christ.
2. His teaching surpasseth all teaching of holy men, and such as have His Spirit find therein the hidden manna. But there are many who, though they frequently hear the Gospel, yet feel but little longing after it, because they have not the mind of Christ. He, therefore, that will fully and with true wisdom understand the words of Christ, let him strive to conform his whole life to that mind of Christ.
3. What doth it profit thee to enter into deep discussion concerning the Holy Trinity, if thou lack humility, and be thus displeasing to the Trinity? For verily it is not deep words that make a man holy and upright; it is a good life which maketh a man dear to God. I had rather feel contrition than be skilful in the definition thereof. If thou knewest the whole Bible, and the sayings of all the philosophers, what should all this profit thee without the love and grace of God? Vanity of vanities, all is vanity, save to love God, and Him only to serve. That is the highest wisdom, to cast the world behind us, and to reach forward to the heavenly kingdom.
4. It is vanity then to seek after, and to trust in, the riches that shall perish. It is vanity, too, to covet honours, and to lift up ourselves on high. It is vanity to follow the desires of the flesh and be led by them, for this shall bring misery at the last.  It is vanity to take thought only for the life which now is, and not to look forward to the things which shall be hereafter. It is vanity to love that which quickly passeth away, and not to hasten where eternal joy abideth.
5. Be ofttimes mindful of the saying, The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear with hearing. Strive, therefore, to turn away thy heart from the love of the things that are seen, and to set it upon the things that are not seen. For they who follow after their own fleshly lusts, defile the conscience, and destroy the grace of God.
There is naturally in every man a desire to know, but what profiteth knowledge without the fear of God? Better of a surety is a lowly peasant who serveth God, than a proud philosopher who watcheth the stars and neglecteth the knowledge of himself. He who knoweth himself well is vile in his own sight; neither regardeth he the praises of men. If I knew all the things that are in the world, and were not in charity, what should it help me before God, who is to judge me according to my deeds?
2. Rest from inordinate desire of knowledge, for therein is found much distraction and deceit. Those who have knowledge desire to appear learned, and to be called wise. Many things there are to know which profiteth little or nothing to the soul. And foolish out of measure is he who attendeth upon other things rather than those which serve to his soul's health. Many words satisfy not the soul, but a good life refresheth the mind, and a pure conscience giveth great confidence towards God.
3. The greater and more complete thy knowledge, the more severely shalt thou be judged, unless thou hast lived holily. Therefore be not lifted up by any skill or knowledge that thou hast; but rather fear concerning the knowledge which is given to thee. If it seemeth to thee that thou knowest many things, and understandest them well, know also that there are many more things which thou knowest not. Be not high-minded, but rather confess thine ignorance. Why desirest thou to lift thyself above another, when there are found many more learned and more skilled in the Scripture than thou? If thou wilt know and learn anything with profit, love to be thyself unknown and to be counted for nothing.
4. That is the highest and most profitable lesson, when a man truly knoweth and judgeth lowly of himself. To account nothing of one's self, and to think always kindly and highly of others, this is great and perfect wisdom. Even shouldest thou see thy neighbour sin openly or grievously, yet thou oughtest not to reckon thyself better than he, for thou knowest not how long thou shalt keep thine integrity. All of us are weak and frail; hold thou no man more frail than thyself.
Happy is the man whom Truth by itself doth teach, not by figures and transient words, but as it is in itself. Our own judgment and feelings often deceive us, and we discern but little of the truth. What doth it profit to argue about hidden and dark things, concerning which we shall not be even reproved in the judgment, because we knew them not? Oh, grievous folly, to neglect the things which are profitable and necessary, and to give our minds to things which are curious and hurtful! Having eyes, we see not.
2. And what have we to do with talk about genus and species! He to whom the Eternal Word speaketh is free from multiplied questionings. From this One Word are all things, and all things speak of Him; and this is the Beginning which also speaketh unto us. No man without Him understandeth or rightly judgeth. The man to whom all things are one, who bringeth all things to one, who seeth all things in one, he is able to remain steadfast of spirit, and at rest in God. O God, who art the Truth, make me one with Thee in everlasting love. It wearieth me oftentimes to read and listen to many things; in Thee is all that I wish for and desire. Let all the doctors hold their peace; let all creation keep silence before Thee: speak Thou alone to me.
3. The more a man hath unity and simplicity in himself, the more things and the deeper things he understandeth; and that without labour, because he receiveth the light of understanding from above. The spirit which is pure, sincere, and steadfast, is not distracted though it hath many works to do, because it doth all things to the honour of God, and striveth to be free from all thoughts of self-seeking.  A man who is good and devout arrangeth beforehand within his own heart the works which he hath to do abroad; and so is not drawn away by the desires of his evil will, but subjecteth everything to the judgment of right reason. Who hath a harder battle to fight than he who striveth for self-mastery?
4. All perfection hath some imperfection joined to it in this life, and all our power of sight is not without some darkness. A lowly knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than the deep searchings of man's learning. Not that learning is to be blamed, nor the taking account of anything that is good; but a good conscience and a holy life is better than all. And because many seek knowledge rather than good living, therefore they go astray, and bear little or no fruit.
5. O if they would give that diligence to the rooting out of vice and the planting of virtue which they give unto vain questionings: there had not been so many evil doings and stumbling-blocks among the laity, nor such ill living among houses of religion. Of a surety, at the Day of Judgment it will be demanded of us, not what we have read, but what we have done; not how well we have spoken, but how holily we have lived. Tell me, where now are all those masters and teachers, whom thou knewest well, whilst they were yet with you, and flourished in learning? Their stalls are now filled by others, who perhaps never have one thought concerning them. Whilst they lived they seemed to be somewhat, but now no one speaks of them.
6. Oh how quickly passeth the glory of the world away! Would that their life and knowledge had agreed together! For then would they have read and inquired unto good purpose. How many perish through empty learning in this world, who care little for serving God. And because they love to be great more than to be humble, therefore they "have become vain in their imaginations." He only is truly great, who hath great charity. He is truly great who deemeth himself small, and counteth all height of honour as nothing. He is the truly wise man, who counteth all earthly things as dung that he may win Christ. And he is the truly learned man, who doeth the will of God, and forsaketh his own will.
We must not trust every word of others or feeling within ourselves, but cautiously and patiently try the matter, whether it be of God. Unhappily we are so weak that we find it easier to believe and speak evil of others, rather than good.
2. This is great wisdom, not to be hasty in action, or stubborn in our own opinions. A part of this wisdom also is not to believe every word we hear, nor to tell others all that we hear, even though we believe it. Take counsel with a man who is wise and of a good conscience; and seek to be instructed by one better than thyself, rather than to follow thine own inventions. A good life maketh a man wise toward God, and giveth him experience in many things. The more humble a man is in himself, and the more obedient towards God, the wiser will he be in all things, and the more shall his soul be at peace.
It is Truth which we must look for in Holy Writ, not cunning of words. All Scripture ought to be read in the spirit in which it was written. We must rather seek for what is profitable in Scripture, than for what ministereth to subtlety in discourse. Therefore we ought to read books which are devotional and simple, as well as those which are deep and difficult. And let not the weight of the writer be a stumbling-block to thee, whether he be of little or much learning, but let the love of the pure Truth draw thee to read. Ask not, who hath said this or that, but look to what he says.
2. Men pass away, but the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Without respect of persons God speaketh to us in divers manners. Our own curiosity often hindereth us in the reading of holy writings, when we seek to understand and discuss, where we should pass simply on. If thou wouldst profit by thy reading, read humbly, simply, honestly, and not desiring to win a character for learning. Ask freely, and hear in silence the words of holy men; nor be displeased at the hard sayings of older men than thou, for they are not uttered without cause.
Whensoever a man desireth aught above measure, immediately he becometh restless. The proud and the avaricious man are never at rest; while the poor and lowly of heart abide in the multitude of peace. The man who is not yet wholly dead to self, is soon tempted, and is overcome in small and trifling matters. It is hard for him who is weak in spirit, and still in part carnal and inclined to the pleasures of sense, to withdraw himself altogether from earthly desires. And therefore, when he withdraweth himself from these, he is often sad, and easily angered too if any oppose his will.
2. But if, on the other hand, he yield to his inclination, immediately he is weighed down by the condemnation of his conscience; for that he hath followed his own desire, and yet in no way attained the peace which he hoped for. For true peace of heart is to be found in resisting passion, not in yielding to it. And therefore there is no peace in the heart of a man who is carnal, nor in him who is given up to the things that are without him, but only in him who is fervent towards God and living the life of the Spirit.
Vain is the life of that man who putteth his trust in men or in any created Thing. Be not ashamed to be the servant of others for the love of Jesus Christ, and to be reckoned poor in this life. Rest not upon thyself, but build thy hope in God. Do what lieth in thy power, and God will help thy good intent. Trust not in thy learning, nor in the cleverness of any that lives, but rather trust in the favour of God, who resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble.
2. Boast not thyself in thy riches if thou hast them, nor in thy friends if they be powerful, but in God, who giveth all things, and in addition to all things desireth to give even Himself. Be not lifted up because of thy strength or beauty of body, for with only a slight sickness it will fail and wither away. Be not vain of thy skilfulness or ability, lest thou displease God, from whom cometh every good gift which we have.
3. Count not thyself better than others, lest perchance thou appear worse in the sight of God, who knoweth what is in man. Be not proud of thy good works, for God's judgments are of another sort than the judgments of man, and what pleaseth man is ofttimes displeasing to Him. If thou hast any good, believe that others have more, and so thou mayest preserve thy humility. It is no harm to thee if thou place thyself below all others; but it is great harm if thou place thyself above even one. Peace is ever with the humble man, but in the heart of the proud there is envy and continual wrath.

One of the things that never fails to amaze me is just how skewed our perceptions of the world have become in the digital age. Instead of everyone getting their information from a few mainstream and reputable sources like they used to, people can now choose where they look for their information. Whether that be CNN, Fox News, or even social media, the news outlets with which one chooses to focus their energy ultimately determines how that same individual feels about key political and social issues.
The goal of this project is to make you think about how the information you take in (and the people giving you that information) on a daily basis influence your perception. How might someone else who gets their information from a different source be influenced compared to you? You might think that your preferred source is the correct source, but who is to say what is real and what isn't except for the people who actually lived the experience being reported to you?
I hope this project made you re-evaluate on some level how you get your own news and present said news to others, or at the very least helped you relate to those with different opinions than yourself. Once you understand that the other side of any given debate is coming from the same potentially uneducated place you are (I mean, come on, you can't always be right), it might be easier to find some common ground.

MRS. WINTERBOURNE A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1996 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): * 1/2
MRS. WINTERBOURE is another one of those mistaken identity films. It is reported to be a remake of NO MAN OF HER OWN (1949) and J'AI EPOUSE UNE OMBRE (1982), but since I have never seen either of these I can not verify this. At any rate, MRS. WINTERBOURE feels like a movie you have seen a hundred times before, and predictability is its middle name.
The set up for the movie is that Connie Doyle (Ricki Lake) gets pregnant by a cliche of an uncaring louse of a boyfriend, Steve (Loren Dean). Steve gets his buddies to claim that they slept with her so he can say that he can not be sure whose kid it is. He then kicks her out into the cold.
One hellish night on a train she meets another equally pregnant woman, Patricia Winterbourne (Susan Haskell) and her husband Hugh (Brendan Fraser). After a train wreck, Connie is mistakenly identified as Patricia Winterbourne since the real Patricia and her husband were killed. This bit of confusion whisks Connie into a life of luxury as the daughter-in-law of super-rich Grace Winterbourne (Shirley MacLaine). Living with Grace is Hugh's twin Bill (Brendan Fraser). The family turns out to be dysfunctional as are almost all rich families in the movies.
Most of the picture is about whether Connie will be found out. What is your guess? Although Bill claims to hate Connie, how do you think their relationship will turn out? Since Steve's son is now super-rich, what do you think Steve will do? See what I mean, you could write the script yourself. The producers did not need to hire Lisa-Marie Radano and Phoef Sutton to craft a script from Cornell Woolrich's book ("I Married a Dead Man").
Actually, the biggest problem with the show is not its predictability nor its believability, both of which are substantial, but the lack of energy. The directing by Richard Benjamin is aimless. The actors float through the movie as if they are all on Sominex. Most of the film is a failed attempt at comedy, but the lines the actors are given are so ineffectual that it is hopeless. Frequently the film relies on sight gags that make little sense and are not particularly funny. Connie, for example, sees the reflection of an upside down crucifix in the baptismal water and somehow this causes her to faint.
After trying comedy in the first part, the story switches to a more serious tone toward the end. The characters begin to show their warm hearts, but the characters are so lifeless that this part works no better than the first. I tried to like this show, but there is so little there that it was not possible for me. I will give it this, it is pretty inoffensive. For people wanting to watch something to fall asleep by, it probably fills the bill.
MRS. WINTERBOURNE runs 1:45. It is rated PG-13 for a little bad language. It would probably fine for kids say 10 and up. I do not recommend it, and I give it * 1/2.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

If you’ve ever hired a development shop in the past, you know how hard it can be to find one that’s reliable – one that can get down to your real problem and solve it. Even if you find talented developers, you’ll soon find out that they only do what they’re told to – not what’s best for you. Simply put, they don’t understand your business. And without an understanding of both your business and the core problems you’re trying to solve, the risk that your project will fail goes through the roof.
Are you struggling to find a technical partner that also understands your business?
You're done with gambling on app developers, and you want to hire a team of experts who understand your business.


$abc -- AudBuffer() transfer character
$act -- quasi-neuronal activation-level
$actbase -- discrimination activation base used as a local "my" variable in AudRecog().
$actnext -- holds an activation value (e.g., "8") to be imposed on the "next" character of a word being recognized in AudRecog()
$actpsi -- a low-priority psi concept from which the SpreadAct module may spread activation, unless a higher-priority flag in SpreadAct is focusing attention upon a complex input-query, causing SpreadAct to ignore the low-priority actpsi concept.
adjw -- adjective weight -- a proposed variable for use in the LangLearn (language-learning) module to hold the high or low weight that determines whether or not an adjectival mind-module is habituated into a particular position in a syntactic chain of linguistic mind-modules. For adjectives, a typical position might be before a noun or after a noun. The language-learning module is intended to be called when an AI Mind fails to comprehend an input consisting of unfamiliar syntax, such as "The more, the merrier" or even a sentence in the passive voice such as "Russian is spoken here," when the AI program does not yet include passive constructions. A rotating series of enumerated variables (eg, pos1, pos2..., pos7) may constantly monitor and briefly keep track of the parts of speech of user input to the AI, so that a record will remain of any novel syntax. In the LangLearn module, there may be a sequence of part-of-speech nodes ready to be habituated into a learnable syntax. Each node may consist of available calls to eight part-of-speech subroutines, with only one part-of-speech actually being called when its pertinent weight is higher than that of the other subroutines bunched together at the syntactic node. For instance, the "adjw" weight may hold a high value for the passive participle "spoken", taken as an adjective in the passive syntax of the sentence "Russian is spoken here." The learning of such a syntax might consist of nodes weighted for calling a noun-phrase (Russian), a verb of being (is), an adjective (spoken), plus or minus an adverb (here). An AI able to learn its own syntax could break free from the necessity of human coding of linguistic mechanisms.
$age -- Temporary age for loop-counting.
$anset -- Sets "an" before a vowel at the start of a noun.
$apb -- (all points bulletin) -- is a JavaScript variable for displaying on-screen messages about what is happening internally in the AI Mind.
$aud -- in the Speech() module is an associative tag leading to the typically most recent engram of a word stored in the @ear array of the auditory memory channel.
$audbase -- is the start of the @ear auditory engram of a word that needs to have its inflectional ending changed in a generative mind-module such as LaNounGen() or RuVerbGen(). $audbase is incremented by one successive unit as long as the target word in auditory memory continues, and each character of the target word from auditory memory is sent as the value of $abc into the AudBuffer() mind-module, which left-justifies the target word before sending it to be right-justified in the OutBuffer() mind-module prior to any manipulation of the inflectional ending of the target word.
auddata -- ( auditory data ) is a cumulative variable which the JavaScript Diagnostic() module uses to display a column of the flag-panels of the auditory engrams over a range of time-points in the Aud array of the auditory memory channel.
$audjuste -- EnNounPhrase() $motjuste $aud to Speech() module
$audnew -- holds onset-tag while rest of word comes in.
audnum -- grammatical num(ber) variable potentially of use for locating an infinitive verb-form with zero as a grammatical num(ber).
$audpsi -- concept number of word in @ear auditory memory array
$audrec -- auditory recognition concept-number
$audrun -- in the AudRecog() module, which increments audrun, it is a counter of how many times the incrementing module has been called. If the audrun count is at unitary one or below two, then the initial character at the start of a word is being processed. audrun is reset to one in the AudInput() and FileInput() modules.
$audrv -- auditory recall-vector for Speech mind-module.
$audstop -- flag to stop Speech module after one word. The Speech module lets a CR-13 carriage-return or a SPACE-32 change the audstop flag from its zero value at the start of Speech to a unitary one (1), so that audstop and spacegap may work together to send the final non-letter into the AudInput module.
$auxverb (auxiliary verb) -- such as 800=BE; 818=DO; or modal verb.
$b1 -- buffer variable 1 in the OutBuffer() quasi-array for the right-justifying of an English or Russian word of up to sixteen characters in length or longer. The buffer variable $b1 always contains the very last character in a word of any length. Since each word is right-justified in the OutBuffer(), a module like NounGen() or RuVerbGen() can perform tests on the contents of $b3 and $b2 and $b1 so as to detect one inflectional ending and to replace it with a different ending as necessary. In English, where a noun like "beach" or a verb like "teach" will sometimes need to have "-es" as an ending ("beaches", "teaches"), $b2 and $b1 can be used to detect the "-ch" at the end of the word, as an indicator that the "-es" ending may need to be added on.
$b2 -- buffer variable 2 counting backwards from the final OutBuffer character.
$b3 -- buffer variable 3 counting backwards from the final OutBuffer character.
$b01 -- obsolete buffer variable 01 in the OutBuffer() quasi-array
$b15 -- buffer variable 15 in the OutBuffer() quasi-array
$b16 -- obsolete buffer variable 16 in the OutBuffer() quasi-array for the right-justifying of an English or Russian word of up to sixteen characters in length. The buffer variable $b16 in older AI Minds would contain the last character in a word of any length. Since each word was right-justified in the OutBuffer(), a module like NounGen() or EnVerbGen() could perform tests on the contents of $b14 and $b15 and $b16 so as to detect one inflectional ending and to replace it with a different ending as necessary. In English, where a noun like "beach" or a verb like "teach" will sometimes need to have "-es" as an ending ("beaches", "teaches"), $b2 and $b1 can be used to detect the "-ch" at the end of the word, as an indicator that the "-es" ending may need to be added on.
$becon -- be-conditional -- carries a flag from the OldConcept() recognition module indicating that new input includes a verb of being which may permit the InFerence() module to make a general inference about the subject of the input so that the InFerence() module can look for prior knowledge as the basis of an inference.
$beep -- flag for Motorium() to create a beep.
$bias -- a variable holding the numeric value of the part of speech (POS) expected to be input next and parsed next on the basis of preceding parts of speech.
$binc -- OutBuffer() B-INCrement for a VerbGen() module. The $binc counter allows RuVerbGen() to examine and test all the right-justified characters of a Russian verb, especially the several characters of an inflectional ending which might need to be changed on the basis of grammatical number (singular or plural), person (first, second, third), or past-tense gender (male, female, neuter).
$birth -- holds the time of when the Ghost AI started running.
$c1 -- the first character of a left-justified word in the quasi-array of the AudBuffer(), where a word of input or of retrieval from memory is stored briefly in transit to the OutBuffer() where the same word is right-justified so that the inflectional endings of the word may easily be manipulated or changed by a module like NounGen() or EnVerbGen().
$c2 -- the second character of any word stored in the AudBuffer().
$c16 -- the sixteenth character if a word of that length is stored in the quasi-array of the auditory input AudBuffer().
$catiobj -- conCATenated (chained) IndirectOBJect flag for syncopating sentences.
$catdobj -- conCATenated (chained) DirectOBJect flag for syncopating sentences.
$catsubj -- conCATenated (chained) SUBJect flag for syncopating sentences.
$catverb -- conCATenated (chained) VERB flag for syncopating sentences.
$chaincon -- chain-of-thought condition-flag
$char -- for use with getc (get character) in FileInput()
$cns -- (adjustable) size of "central nervous system" memory in the Ghost Perl AI
$coda -- memory recycled in ReJuvenate()
$conj -- a dual-purpose variable serving both as an identifier of which particular conjunction is under consideration for use by the ConJoin module, and a control-flag for the decision of whether to call the Indicative module more than once.
$dba -- doing-business-as noun-case or verb-person.
$defact -- default activation for EnNounPhrase()
$dirobj -- flag indicates seeking for a direct object. Should perhaps be renamed "dirobjcon" so as to indicate a condition rather than a particular direct object.
dobmfn -- for InFerence to pass gender to AskUser
$dobseq -- direct-object-subSEQuent word – is used only within the InFerence() module to hold onto the psi identifier of a noun or pronoun that was the direct object of a verb retrieved from memory as part of an inference that will require the same direct object to be associated with the verb if the inference is to be confirmed or refuted as a valid inference.
$dunnocon -- is a flag used in SpreadAct() to permit the AI Mind to respond to a who+verb+object query with "I DO NOT KNOW" if no correct answer is found.
$engov -- possible replacement for too strict "hlc". In order for the AI Mind thinking in English to be able to mention a Russian word without switching to Russian, it may be necessary to use $engov and $rugov as competing language-determinants. Whichever governing determinant has the higher numeric value shall cause thinking to occur in its language, even if a word occurs in a different language. Only a preponderance of words in the other language shall cause a switch to the other language.
$eot -- end-of-transmission for end of input
$etc -- from the abbreviation "etc." from the Latin phrase et cetera, meaning "and other things" -- a counting variable that is incremented in the EnNounPhrase() module when more than one fetchable idea is active in conceptual memory. The $etc count is used in the EnThink() module as a trigger for calling the ConJoin() module to insert a conjunction like "and" between two ideas in the generation of a sentence of thought.
$eureka -- something "found" in the aud-recog modules
$finlen -- fin(al) len(gth) or end-of-word for AudRecog auditory recognition module.
$finpsi -- carry-over end-psi during 32-SPACE or 13-CR (carriage return).
$foom -- a proposed new variable for a proposed new Spawn() module. The foom variable shall be set arbitrarily by the AI Mind Maintainer as the number of new concepts to be learned by the spawning AGI Mind as a trigger-level for the spawning of a new copy of the AI going "FOOM" in the sense of self-modifying and gaining knowledge and intelligence so rapidly as to constitute a "FOOM!" explosion of hard-take-off AI.
$fyi -- (for your information) 1 = Normal; 2 = Transcript; 3 = Tutorial mode; 4 = Diagnostic mode
$gapcon -- status-con flag for AudInput() to count down gaps of no input, so that internal thinking may accelerate during periods of no input from external sources.
$gencon -- status-con flag set briefly to unitary one by EnVerbGen() as a condition-flag to prevent EnVerbPhrase() from making a call to Speech() after EnVerbGen() has already generated and spoken an inflected form of an English verb. The $gencon flag is reset to zero at the end of EnVerbPhrase() whether it has been used or not, so that EnVerbPhrase() will normally call the Speech() module to say a verb-form summoned from memory by the parameters of person and number.
$hlc -- human-language code; 1=en; 2=de; 3=ru. May eventually be subject to override by the $engov or $degov or $rugov flag, so that an AI thinking in one language may discuss a word in a different language without switching over to thinking in the different language.
holdnum -- transfers number from subject to verb.
$i -- index for cycling through a loop or an array.
$ictus -- testable activation-level to trigger use of a conjunction by the ConJoin() module in expressing a compound thought composed of two or more strongly activated ideas, each generated by a single calling of the Indicative() module.
$idea -- for re-entry of AI thought back into the AI.
$impetus -- an accumulating variable to hold the activation-level of a trigger to initiate action by the FreeWill Volition module.
infincon -- infinitive condition flag
$inft -- – inference-time – holds the current time at the start of the InFerence() module so that the AskUser() module may ask a question based upon pre-existing knowledge before the formation of a silent inference in the AI memory.
$inhibcon -- flag for neural inhibition
$iob -- indirect-object tag for @psy concept array
isolation -- counter of thought-cycles spent in "isolation" with no human input, as an arbitrary trigger for output by the AI Mind, or as a threshold for the AI to take certain actions if input suddenly appears.
ivcon -- Imputed-Verb CONdition flag that is set to a unitary one in the RuParser module if a Russian be-verb is imputed to be meant by the speaker and is not overriden by a normal Russian verb. Then the Russian-thinking RuThink module calls the InFerence module to create a silent inference based on both the knowledge about a class of subjects and the new knowledge that a particular entity is a member of the indicated class of subjects. For instance, if the AI Mind knows that students read books, and a user states that "Mark is a student," the AI may silently infer the possibility that Mark reads books.
$jrt -- ReJuvenate() "junior time" for memories moved
$jux -- jux(taposed) concept in @psy array, especially the word "NOT" to negate a verb.
$k -- k(knowledge) element from @psy concept array
kbcon -- knowledge-base-condition flag for KbRetro to wait for a yes-or-no answer.
kbdba -- knowledge-base doing-business-as -- in the Mens Latina Latin AI, reveals what case a Latin noun is in at the particular toc (time of old concept) when the Latin noun was recognized as representing a particular concept. Because the inflectional ending of a recognized Latin word may be ambiguous with respect to, say, nominative case or accusative case, the value of the dba tag at the time of recognition is not the final say or final interpretation of what case a noun is in as part of a new Latin input. The value obtained from the toc node may be treated as a temporary default value likely to be overridden by the grammatical tests conducted by the LaParser() module.
kbmfn -- knowledge-base masculine-feminine-neuter -- in the Mens Latina Latin AI, is the gender (masculine/feminine/neuter) of a Latin noun as revealed at the toc time of its recognition as a word and a concept. The gender-value obtained for the noun is not likely to be overruled. Although in English a "friend" can be a he or a she, in Latin the gender is more closely bound with each particular noun.
kbnum -- knowledge-base num(ber) -- in the Mens Latina Latin AI, is the grammatical number (singular or plural) of a particular conceptual engram of a Latin word at the toc time of its recognition as a word and a concept. The given value serves as a default for the first instantiation of the input noun, and is not likely to be overridden, because Latin inflectional noun-endings typically reveal the grammatical number of the noun.
kbzap -- ZAP the knowledge base -- is a variable that holds the oldpsi word "YES" or "NO" when the InFerence() module has caused the AskUser() module to seek confirmation or denial of a silent inference from a human user engaged in a conceptual conversation with the AI Mind. KbRetro() uses the YES-value kbzap to confirm an inference, or the NO-value of kbzap to negate an inference.
$krt -- knowledge representation time.
$lastpho -- device to avoid extra "S" on verbs.
$len -- length, for avoiding input non-words. The len variable increments with each additional character during AudInput, and is reset to zero at the end of InStantiate or OldConcept or NewConcept, so that the auditory engram recall vector rv may be set for the first character of a word when the word-length is a unitary one.
$mfn -- masculine-feminine-neuter gender flag.
$midway -- dynamically adjustable time-limit for searching backwards in the experiential memory of the AI. In early AI Minds, "midway" is set to zero so as to search the entire memory. As AI Minds mature and acquire tremendously long lifetime memories, "midway" may be dynamically adjusted to search bacwards actually to the mid-way mark. If an AI has the task of finding all possible recollections and knowledge about a topic where an initial search has yielded no results, "midway" may be adjusted for a secondary and more exhaustive search.
$mjact -- motjuste-activation for defaulting to 701=I
$monopsi -- for detecting single-character words in the AudRecog() module
$mood -- a selector to enable the English-thinking EnThink module to choose among grammatical moods of verbs and their enveloping sentences, such as Indicative; Subjunctive; Imperative, etc.
$moot -- – as in legally moot – is a flag to prevent the formation of associative tags during mental operations which are not truly a part of cognition, such as the processing of an input query, the formation of a silent inference, or the creation of an output query.
$morphpsi -- for AudRecog() recognition of morphemes
$motjuste -- (from French) best word for inclusion in a thought
$mri -- most-recent-instantiation. The mri is a time-point which may be used for the insertion of an associative tag into the conceptual flag-panel of a previous concept in order to establish a link between a newly input concept being instantiated and the previously instantiated concept. The designation of the time-point of the mri concept may be qualified or restricted by code that requires the mri concept to be a special ("pos") part-of-speech, such as either a noun or a verb. Thus a preposition being instantiated may be back-linked to a noun or a verb as a mental point of departure leading to the preposition within a chain of thought. For example, if we say "John writes books for money", the preposition "for" could be linked backwards to a tpr (time-of-preposition) tag in the flag-panel of the verb "writes" or in the flag-panel of the noun "books", depending on whether the basic idea is "writes for money" or "books for money" -- especially if "John writes books for money and poems for fun."
$msg -- for input as a "message" to the AI. The "msg" string is built up by the concatenation of each incoming "pho" character to the accumulating "msg" string which is then displayed as the human input within the user interface. The "msg" string is reset to emptiness in the Sensorium module so that a new message of human input may accumulate.
$mtx -- machine-translation xfer (transfer) variable for SpreadAct module to transfer an activation-swarm from a sentence in one language to the same concepts in a target language for machine translation (MT).
$negjux -- a flag to indicate that a verb stored in memory has been negated by the nearby storing of a 250=NOT adverb. When EnVerbPhrase() selects a verb from conceptual memory and the verb is negated with "NOT", the numeric value of 250=NOT goes into the negjux variable as a flag to require the thinking of a negated English verb to include a call to the EnAuxVerb module that will place a form of the auxiliary verb "DO" before the adverb "NOT" and the verb itself, as in "God does not play dice." During a verb-fetch in EnVerbPhrase, negjux is given one chance to modify either a be-verb or a non-be-verb, and in either case is reset to zero after the one-chance opportunity.
newpsi -- for singular-nounstem assignments
$node -- "split" @psy array row into nodes
nonce -- roughly the time when the AI starts running -- for the Diagnostic display to show the recent contents of the conceptual and sensory memory arrays.
$nounlock -- time-point in conceptual memory for a verb to lock onto a seq-noun.
$nphrnum -- grammatical number of the noun-phrase selected by the EnNounPhrase module. nphrnum is set to zero near the start of EnNounPhrase so that no value will erroneously carry over from a previous noun to another noun being selected. EnArticle needs nphrnum as a basis for inserting the indefinite article "a" before a singular noun, and to avoid inserting "a" before a plural noun.
$nphrpos -- "noun-phrase part-of-speech" for testing during the EnThink() process.
$nucon -- new-condition – segregates SpreadAct() code to respond to the input of an unknown word by asking the user a question about the new concept being learned by the AI Mind.
$num -- number-flag for grammatical number. Verbs must agree in number with their subjects. Two or more singular subjects require a plural verb.
$numreq -- NUMber REQuired for agreement of subject and predicate nominative, with possibility of being overruled by circumstances.
numsubj -- for number of subject.
$nxr -- "next row in array" for AudRecog() dealing with next memory row
$nxt -- number incremented for each new concept
$objprep -- object of a preposition to be found and spoken by the EnPrep module.
$oldpsi -- used in OldConcept to de-globalize "psi"
$onset -- onset-tag for use as an auditory recall-vector.
$output -- output string as in a JavaScript AI Mind or the ghost.pl AI.
$PAL -- Permissive Action Link for AudBuffer and OutBuffer. This flag will normally be true with a unitary value of one, but it may be set to false with a value of zero so that a module like EnVerbGen may manipulate the buffer-characters in the OutBuffer without causing a feedback loop that dynamically interferes with the process of generating inflectional endings on a word.
$pho -- a "phoneme" or character of auditory input.
$phodex -- pho-index counter for AudBuffer(); phodex is reset to unitary one ("1") in the AudInput module and in the Speech module.
$pos -- (part of speech) with a numeric value (1=adj 2=adv 3=conj 4=interj 5=noun 6=prep 7=pron 8=verb) to be inserted into the conceptual flag-panel of a concept during the process of instantiation of a concept-node at a particular time-point. The part-of-speech parameter allows an AI Mind to restrict operations to one particular part of speech, such as verb, or to similar parts of speech, such as nouns and pronouns to be used as subjects or objects of a verb.
$pov -- point-of-view: 1=self; 2=dual; 3=alien. When pov=1, the word "you" is somebody in the external world. When pov=2, the word "you" refers to the self-concept "I" in the AI. When pov=3, the word "you" is interpreted as part of a conversation by a third-party or as a word in a text, not referring to the self-concept of either the AI or of someone talking to the AI.
$prc -- Provisional ReCognition in the AudRecog() auditory recognition module.
$pre -- pre(vious) associated @psy concept.
$prednom -- predicate nominative for InFerence.
$prejux -- previous $jux to carry "NOT" to a verb. If the adverb "not" passes through the OldConcept module in the process of the negation of a verb, the "prejux" variable holds the value for negation and passes it as "jux" to the flag-panel of the verb being negated.
$prep -- a preposition used in the EnPrep mind-module for English prepositions.
$prepcon -- prepositional condition-flag for parsing.
$prepgen -- urgency to generate a prepositional phrase.
$prepsi -- is the identifier of a "pre" concept for the purpose of spreading activation sideways from a direct object to its governing verb and then further sideways to the subject of the verb. This process may be tested by an AI coder or by an AI Mind Maintainer by entering one noun into the running AI software to see if some other noun is output as part of a remembered idea involving the noun being tested for. Activation spreading sideways is an important feature for the evolution of AI Minds able to ruminate endlessly and able to think interminably about all possible subjects contained as an accumulation of concepts in the AI knowledge base.
$prevpsi -- a value-holder to be used by InStantiate to cancel an imputed Russian BeVerb which has been tentatively instantiated after the input of a noun or pronoun potentially serving as the subject of an imputed verb of being. For instance, if someone begins a sentence in Russian with a noun like "The teacher...", it is not yet known whether the intended verb will be a be-verb like "is" or some ordinary verb like "plays (chess)". The AI software must instantiate an imputed verb of being in case the next input word is something like a noun or an adjective, and not a normal verb. But if a normal verb is indeed the next word of input, the imputed be-verb must be discarded in favor of the real verb, and the "prevpsi" identifier will help the AI program to declare that the "seq" of the Russian subject is the real verb, and not the momentarily imputed verb of being.
$prevtag -- local pre(vious) tag for use in InStantiate(). After a noun or a verb has been instantiated, $prevtag holds its concept-number ready to be inserted as a $pre tag, if needed, during the instantiation of a succeeding concept. Thus a verb can have a $pre back to its subject, and a direct object can have a $pre back to a verb.
$prsn -- 1st, 2nd, 3rd person of verb-forms.
$psi -- variable for an element of the @psy conceptual array, with a numeric identifier serving as an mtx tag for the same concept in another language.
$psibase -- winning psibase with winning actbase
psidata -- ( Psi mindcore data ) is a cumulative variable that permits the JavaScript Diagnostic() module to display a column of the flag-panels of the engrams in the Psy mindcore array.
$putnum -- putative num(ber) for subject-verb agreement.
$px1 -- (obsolete) preposition-transfer carrier for NLP generation. This carrier-variable transfers the location of the object of a preposition from a generative mind-module such as EnNounPhrase to the English-preposition EnPrep module which fetches and outputs both the remembered preposition and the object of the preposition. Made obsolete by the "tnpr" flag and the "tvpr" flag.
$px2 -- (obsolete) second of ad libitum many preposition-transfer carriers for NLP generation.
$px3 -- (obsolete) third preposition-transfer carrier for NLP generation. If an idea stored in conceptual memory contains multiple prepositions as in the phrase "government of the people, by the people, for the people", the group of "px" variables may serve to retrieve each separate object of the multiple prepositions.
$qucon -- query-condition – segregates SpreadAct() code to respond to the input of who-queries.
$quiet -- a status variable set briefly to false upon user-input, so that the AI may output one thought responding to input and not following an internal chain of thought as conducted by the SpreadAct() module. As long as user input continues, the AI continues to think up responses. If user-input stops or even pauses, the AI returns to thinking its own thoughts.
$quobj -- query object – holds onto the psi identifier of a word chosen by the InFerence() module to be the direct object of a query created by the AskUser() module.
quobjaud -- auditory recall-tag for AskUser module
qusnum -- query-subject number – for the AskUser module to ask a question seeking yes-or-no confirmation of a logical inference made by the AI Mind.
$qusub -- query subject – is a transfer-vehicle of the subject-identifier from any module prompting a question into the specific module that will ask the question.
$quverb -- query verb – is set in the InFerence() module with the identifier of a verb concept serving as part of an InFerence being made about user input. Then the AskUser() module transforms the quverb identifier into the yes-or-no-verb identifier ynverb so that AskUser() can use the query-verb to ask a question expecting a yes-or-no answer.
$qv1psi -- concept for SpreadAct to seek as a subject, so that the AI will try to remember knowledge about the concept.
$qv2num -- num(ber) of a verb in a who+verb+dir.obj response.
$qv2psi -- concept for SpreadAct to seek as a verb, so that the AI may remember ideas containing the same verb.
$qv3psi -- concept for SpreadAct to seek as an indirect object, so that the AI may think of ideas connected in any conceivable way with the target concept.
$qv4psi -- concept for SpreadAct to seek as a direct object, so that the AI may use the target concept as a subject or as a direct object in the remembrance of ideas.
$qvdocon -- query-condition for who+verb+direct-object – segregates SpreadAct() code to respond to input queries similar in form to "Who makes robots?"
$qviocon -- query-condition for who+verb+indirect-object – segregates SpreadAct() code to respond to input queries in a form like "To whom does God give help?"
$recnum -- recognized number of a recognized word
$recon -- incentive for reconaissance by asking a question.
$rjc -- counter of rejuvenation cycles
rota (Latin for "wheel") -- rotation variable for treating input-(pro)nouns. In a simple sentence of Latin input to the Mens Latina Latin AI, a series of nouns may initially (Stage One) be instantiated in a bare-bones fashion without their case or subject-verb-object role being identified. They may then go through a Stage Two instantiation where the LaParser() Latin parser module performs a series of tests to determine or disambiguate the speaker-intended case of the noun, based not only on its perhaps ambiguous inflectional ending but also on the other Latin nouns being used in the sentence of input. The rota counter allows the InStantiate() module to cycle or rotate through the several nouns that are possibly included in the Latin input, so that the OutBuffer() detection of potentially ambiguous Latin noun-endings may load the initial instantiation time-point onto unknown "upshot" placeholder variables to be kept ready during a series of "Stage Two" LaParser() tests in advance of re-instantiating each of the several nouns as either the tsj subject, or the tio indirect object, or the tdo direct object of the Latin verb. If the upshot variable (ux1-ux5; uy1-uy5; uz1-uz5) wins selection, it already contains the Stage One time-point of instantiation which will now be transferred to the time-point of the subject or indirect object or direct object, so that each item may be re-instantiated with the properly tested and identified associative tags which play their essential role in the Natural Language Understanding of the input sentence.
$rsvp -- to hold an arbitrary value for a delay in thinking to wait for user input.
$rugov -- possible replacement for too strict "hlc".
$rv -- recall-vector for auditory memory. The time-point value of rv is first set in the AudInput module after an intervening space when the first character of an input-word is being passed into the AudMem module. The recall-vector rv is reset to zero in AudInput after a call to OldConcept or to NewConcept.
$seq -- subSEQuent @psy concept in a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) idea. During user input, a subject-noun or a subject-pronoun is at first instantiated at the time-of-subject tsj without a "seq" tag in the conceptual flag-panel, because the "seq" can not be known in advance. Upon the input of a verb at the time-of-verb tvb point in the same clause or sentence, the English-parsing EnParser module uses the time-of-subject tsj flag to re-instantiate the subject-concept with the numeric psi concept-identifier of the verb inserted retroactively into the seq slot in the flag-panel of the subject-concept. Subsequently if a direct object occurs in the input stream of the clause or sentence, EnParser uses the time-of-verb tvb flag to insert the psi of the direct object into the verb-panel as the seq of the verb, For the direct object itself, the time-of-direct-object tdo flag may be used to ensure that a seq of zero is assigned to the direct object as the final element in the Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) clause or idea.
seqdob -- for direct object transfer within InFerence
$seqneed -- noun/pronoun or verb needed as a "seq"
$seqpsi -- concept to which activation should be spread in the SpreadAct module for spreading conceptual activation.
seqrvx -- for rvx transfer of auditory recall-vector within InFerence
$seqtkb -- subSEQuent Time-in-Knowledge-Base – is used only within the InFerence() module to latch onto the specific time-point in memory of a verb which was linked in the past to a concept now occurring within user input as a predicate nominative which identifies a class of entities from which an inference can be drawn and assigned to the subject of the user input. For instance, if the AI knows "Boys play games" and the user inputs "John is a boy," the old verb "play" can now be used to infer, "John plays games," because John is a boy.
$seqverb -- subSEQuent-concept VERB – is an interstitial carrier of a verb-identifier in the InFerence() module, permitting a verb which was used in old knowledge to be used as part of an inference of new knowledge and as part of a question seeking confirmation or refutation of an inference.
$snu -- subject-number as parameter for verb-selection.
$spacegap -- a gap to add one post-word space in the Speech module.
$spt -- blank space time before start of a word
$stemgap -- for avoiding false AudRecog() stems
$subject -- subject for parser module
$subjectflag -- initial default for NounPhrase()
$subjnom -- subject nominative – is a concept identified in the OldConcept() recognition module as the subject of an input causing the AI to make an inference.
$subjnum -- (subject number) for agreement in grammatical number between a subject and a predicate nominative noun.
$subjpre -- subject-$pre to be held for verb in parsing.
$subjpsi -- subject-concept parameter to govern person of verb-forms.
$sublen -- length of AudRecog() subpsi word-stem
$subpsi -- for AudRecog() of sub-component wordstems
$svo1 -- subject -- item #1 in subject-verb-object
$svo2 -- verb -- item #2 in subject-verb-object
$svo3 -- indirect object -- item #3 in subject-verb-object
$svo4 -- direct object -- item #4 in subject-verb-object
$t -- lifetime Ghost AI experiential time "$t"
$t2s -- auditory text-to-speech index
$tai -- time of artificial intelligence diagnostics
$tbev -- time of be-verb for use with negjux negation-flag. In the OldConcept module, tbev is set for any 800=BE verb and is used for inserting a jux of 250=NOT into the flag-panel of a negated be-verb. The tbev flag may be reset to zero in the Sensorium module after any input has been processed by the AudInput module.
tcj -- time-of-conjunction -- conceptual flag-panel tag for a conjunction.
tdj -- time-of-adjective -- conceptual flag-panel tag for an adjective.
tdv -- time-of-adverb -- conceptual flag-panel tag for an adverb.
$tdo -- time-of-direct-object for a parser module.
tdt -- time-of-dative -- conceptual flag-panel tag for instantiating a word in the dative case.
$text -- a general variable to hold text, especially for incrementing by concatenation.
tgn -- time-of-genitive -- for instantiating a word in the genitive case.
tia -- time-of-instrument -- for instantiating a word in the instrumental (Russian) or ablative (Latin) case.
tin -- MindForth time-of-input for interactive display.
This variable lets the Forthmind show the contents of the Psy conceptual array
and the Aud auditory array immediately prior to a display of current input and
output. For purposes of troubleshooting, a temporary adjustment may be made
to show recent memory engrams a little further back in time, such as
when a silent inference has been made by the
InFerence module and is being adjusted retroactively by the
KbRetro module.
$tio -- time-of-indirect-object for parser module.
$tkb -- time-in-knowledge-base of an idea. The EnParser() module stores time-of-verb $tvb in the k[13] $tkb slot of the subject of a sentence being stored at the time-of-subject $tsj time-point in the Psy conceptual array. The EnParser module stores $tkb as equal to $tdo (time of the direct object) in the Psy array row of the verb at time-of-verb $tvb. Thus for subjects $tkb means "verb" and for verbs $tkb means "direct object". No $tkb is stored for a direct object, because the associative tags go from subject to verb to object (SVO) but no further.
tkbn -- time-in-knowledge-base-noun -- is set in the InFerence() module as the concept-array time-point of the subject-noun in a yes-or-no question to be asked of the human user by AskUser() to confirm or negate an InFerence being made by the logical InFerence module.
tkbo -- time-in-knowledge-base-object -- is set in the InFerence() module as the concept-array time-point of the direct-object-noun in a silent InFerence to be confirmed or negated retroactively by the KbRetro() module after a human user has responded to a question posed by the AskUser() module. May be similar to tdo in the EnParser() module, but tkbo is the last of three consecutive time-points in the silent InFerence created by the InFerence() module for automated reasoning.
$tkbprep -- time-in-knowledge-base of a preposition, necessary for the EnPrep English-preposition module because the basic tkb flag, although obtainable at the time of fetching a preposition, is subject to mutation when the output of a preposition results in the re-entry of the preposition and the assigning of a new tkb value.
tkbv -- time-in-knowledge-base-verb -- is the time-point of a verb-concept in an AskUser() question for a human user to confirm or deny the truth of a logical InFerence made by the AI.
tmg -- time-of-midgap for the Mens Latina artificial intelligence in Latin to insert a silent pronoun serving as the unspoken subject of a Latin verb lacking a stated subject.
$tnpr -- time-of-noun-preposition – is for use in the EnNounPhrase module to convert a value stored as a "tpr" flag into specifically a "tnpr" flag so that the EnPrep English-preposition module may fetch and output not only a preposition related to the noun but also the object of the preposition. The "tnpr" flag is meant to distinguish between prepositional phrases that refer only to a noun and prepositional phrases that refer to a verb-phrase possibly including a noun as an object of the verb. The "tnpr" flag allows the chaining together of multiple prepositional phrases such as "the man in the street with an umbrella in his hand".
toc -- time-of-old-concept -- in the Mens Latina Latin AI, is obtained from the index "i" in the AudRecog() auditory recognition module so that other modules in the AI Mind may zero in not on the auditory engram of the word but on the simultaneous conceptual node for the recognized word, in order to harvest or fetch the values in the flag-panel of quasi-neuronal associative tags connecting the one recalled node of the concept with other concepts.
$topic -- @psy topic for a question to be asked
$tpp -- time-of-preposition for parsing.
tpr -- conceptual flag-panel tag for time-of-preposition.
tpu -- time-pen-ultimate before current I/O.
$trigger -- a trigger for Volition() to call Motorium()
$tru -- tru(th) variable serving as a flag-panel tag to hold dynamically the believed reliability or truth-value of an idea. On Reddit see an alternative way of modeling truth values. For an inference validated by a human user, the truth-value may be set to a positive value arbitrarily set by the AI Mind Maintainer. Since a positive truth-value may be carried forward in recollections of the validated inference, $tru must be reset to zero at the end of a thought-generation module such as the Indicative module. AI coders may use the truth-value to establish modes of thought which disregard ideas in the knowledge base lacking a positive truth-value.
$tseln -- time of selection of noun.
$tselo -- time of selection of object of prepositionn -- can be used to insert associative tags linking the preposition itself and its object.
$tselp -- time of selection of preposition - is used in the EnPrep English-preposition module to make sure by calculation that a verb being sought as used with a preposition is in close temporal proximity to the preposition, so that a query may be answered correctly with a response that mentions the query-subject qv1psi and the query-verb qv2psi and the selected preposition at the beginning of a prepositional phrase.
$tsels -- Time of SELection of Subject -- is used locally in EnNounPhrase() and in RuNounPhrase() to keep track of the experiential time $t at which a stored concept is selected as a subject, so that the $tsels can be used to revisit the engram at $tsels to change its activation-level in the course of neural inhibition.
$tselv -- time of selection of verb (for neural inhibition)
$tsj -- time-of-subject for parsing. The InStantiate module sets the tsj flag when a noun or a pronoun in the (dba=1) nominative case is passing through InStantiate and tsj has a prior value of zero. If the AI is receiving or re-entering a compound sentence of two main clauses joined by a conjunction, care must be taken to reset tsj to zero at the end of each indicative clause, so that the tsj of the second clause may properly be set. The tsj flag is necessary for the retroactive insertion of the seq flag and the tkb flag, and for extracting subject-data such as the num flag and the mfn flag, as for instance when a pronoun is about to replace a noun and must have the proper number and gender.
$tsn -- time of input as $seqneed time for InStantiate()
$tult -- t penultimate, or time-minus-one.
$tvb -- time-of-verb for parsing. The EnParser module sets "t - 1" as the tvb if the word being parsed is a verb by part-of-speech. InStantiate uses the time-of-verb tvb to fill the tkb-slot in a verb-panel with the time-location of the direct object of the verb. EnParser uses the time-of-verb tvb to find the numeric verb-concept that will be the pre of a direct object being parsed. EnParser also uses the time-of-verb tvb to store the time-of-direct-object tdo as the tkb in the flag-panel of the verb. Therefore the tvb-flag needs to be reset to zero not during but after AudInput, when program-flow has returned to the Sensorium module.
$tvpr -- time-of-verb-preposition – is used in the EnVerbPhrase module to convert a value stored as a "tpr" flag into specifically a "tvpr" flag so that the EnPrep English-preposition module may fetch and output not only a preposition related to the verb-phrase but also the object of the preposition. The "tvpr" flag is meant to identify a prepositional phrase that refers to a complete verb-phrase and not merely to a noun within the verb-phrase. For example, in the prepositional phrase at the end of "God does not play dice with the universe.", the preposition "with" is logically and semantically connected more to the verb-phrase "play dice" than to the noun "dice" all by itself.
$unk -- all-purpose $unk (unknown) for troubleshooting
$us1 -- the upstream noun number one for
EnArticle to keep track of;
$us2 -- the UpStream noun number two for EnArticle to keep track of;
$us3 -- the UpStream noun number three for EnArticle to keep track of;
$us4 -- the UpStream noun number four for EnArticle to keep track of;
$us5 -- the UpStream noun number five for EnArticle to keep track of;
$us6 -- the UpStream noun number six for EnArticle to keep track of;
$us7 -- the UpStream noun number seven for EnArticle to keep track of.
$usn -- an upstream number-variable to coordinate the rotation of the us1-us7 variables in their role as the holders of noun-concepts mentioned so recently that they warrant the insertion of the definite article "the" by the Enarticle() module.
$usx -- a transfer variable for InStantiate to transfer the concept number of an incoming noun to whichever us1-us7 upstream variable is up next in the rotation of up to seven recently mentioned noun-concepts, so that the EnArticle module may insert the definite article "the" before any noun currently under discussion in a conversation.
ux1 -- unknown Latin case potentially nominative.
ux2 -- unknown Latin case potentially genitive.
ux3 -- unknown Latin case potentially dative.
ux4 -- unknown Latin case potentially accusative.
ux5 -- unknown Latin case potentially ablative.
uy1 -- unknown Latin case potentially nominative.
uy2 -- unknown Latin case potentially genitive.
uy3 -- unknown Latin case potentially dative.
uy4 -- unknown Latin case potentially accusative.
uy5 -- unknown Latin case potentially ablative.
uz1 -- unknown Latin case potentially nominative.
uz2 -- unknown Latin case potentially genitive.
uz3 -- unknown Latin case potentially dative.
uz4 -- unknown Latin case potentially accusative.
uz5 -- unknown Latin case potentially ablative.
$vault -- size of MindBoot() sequence in time-points.
$verbcon -- verb-condition for seeking (in)direct objects. $verbcon is set to a positive unitary one in the EnParser module when a verb comes in during input and remains at one while any indirect or direct object comes in. After an input sentence, $verbcon is reset to zero.
$verblock -- for subject-noun to lock onto seq-verb. The $verblock is a time-point in conceptual @psy memory where the $seq of a subject-noun is located, so that any crucial consideration such as the negation of a verb will be found when the verb-phrase module fetches the verb-concept from memory. If the thinking process finds and activates a particular subject-noun in memory, the $tkb of the subject noun becomes the $verblock so that a particular verb at a particular time will be selected by the English or Russian verb-phrase module.
$verbprsn -- verb-person -- reverting to zero for infinitive forms.
$verbpsi -- $psi concept-number of verb in the @psy array
$vphraud -- holds aud-fetch of verb-form for Speech() module
wasvcon -- query-condition for what-AUXILIARY-SUBJECT-VERB queries, such as "What do robots need?", so that SpreadAct may activate an indicated subject like "robots" and an indicated verb like "need" to retrieve a memory that completes the thought "Robots need... " in response to a query.
$whatcon (what-condition) --
SpreadAct() flag for condition of answering a what-query.
$wherecon -- a flag for the condition of answering a where-query. The flag is set to a positive one ("1") if the word "where" passes through the OldConcept module, and serves as a trigger for the EnThink module to call the SpreadAct module
$whocon -- flag for condition of answering a who-query. The InStantiate module sets whocon to a positive one ("1") when the input of the interrogative pronoun "who" is detected.
whoq -- flag to permit the AskUser module to ask a who-question such as "WHO ARE YOU".
$yncon -- yes-or-no condition – is a status flag that the InFerence module sets to a positive unitary one ("1") as a signal for the thinking module to call the AskUser module to ask a yes-or-no question seeking the validation or disavowal of a silent inference.
$ynverb -- yes-or-no-verb – identifier of a verb to be used in AskUser() for the asking of a question expecting a yes-or-no answer.

BASEKETBALL (Universal) Starring: Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Yasmine Bleeth, Robert Vaughn, Dian Bachar, Jenny McCarthy. Screenplay: David Zucker, Robert LoCash, Lewis Friedman and Jeff Wright. Producers: David Zucker, Robert LoCash and Gil Netter. Director: David Zucker. MPAA Rating: R (profanity, adult themes, slapstick violence) Running Time: 105 minutes. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
If your comic tastes run to the urbane, this is most definitely the summer of your discontent. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY brought you mangled genitalia and dangling bodily fluids; MAFIA! featured flaming flatulence and a boy being smuggled in a donkey's rectum. And now comes BASEKETBALL, co-written and directed by David Zucker (THE NAKED GUN) and starring Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of "South Park" who gave the world a talking piece of excrement named Mr. Hankey. Anyone want to place bets on whether it's going to be an Oscar Wilde-ian romp spilling over with tres bon mots?
Fact is, BASEKETBALL tosses off the kind of groin-level humor that makes THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY look like a particularly droll "New Yorker" cartoon. This tale of two losers (Parker and Stone) who create a sports sensation combining elements of baseball and basketball scurries about in search of every imaginable source of vulgar, offensive and/or just plain immature comedy. Stone lactates like a Parisian fountain; Parker slurps liposuctioned fat from a plastic bag; both stars sport prosthetic male members which make it look like they're auditioning for the sequel to BOOGIE NIGHTS. No subject is too sensitive for some sort of peurile gag: not gays, not foreign accents, not raving bigots, not necrophilia.
 Yes, BASEKETBALL certainly crosses the line at times from daring to mean-spirited. It also includes some wicked shots at professional sports, from corporate stadium sponsorship to peripatetic franchises to bizarre promotional giveaways (including "Dozen Egg Night," "Free Range Chicken Night" and "Anal Probe Night"). The best running gag comes from the baseketball rule which allows opponent to taunt the player with the ball in an effort to psych him out. Stone and Parker take the opportunity to run with every possible distracting comment, gesture and visual image. There's nowhere too low for them to sink, and they get enough laughs to justify going just a bit lower the next time.
It's hard to tell whether Parker and Stone have the stuff to be legitimate big screen comic stars. BASEKETBALL is an ideal showcase for their malicious, "dude"-spewing wastrel characters; they're like Bill and Ted with more acid in their veins. Still, there's a sense that they're just the slightest bit desperate to impress, too eager to reach for a four-letter punch line before coming up with a more clever alternative. When Parker finally goes for a laugh by trotting out the voice of "South Park's" Eric Cartman, you can bet the audience will go wild with recognition. It just feels lazy, one overgrown adolescent playing to other overgrown adolescents, congratulating himself for being the id boy of the moment.
Strange as it may seem, David Zucker ends up being the steadying influence which reins in Parker and Stone. Zucker knows how to play a near-subliminal visual joke with the best of them, and he works in plenty of knee-slappers in BASEKETBALL. He also calls on AIRPLANE! alums Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Robert Stack to help out, with Stack doing a particularly hilarious parody of his own gig hosting "Unsolved Mysteries."  That's one of the tamer bits in BASEKETBALL, a film that sometimes doesn't know when to quit. There will be viewers who revel in that sort of "look at me, Ma, I'm being irreverent" irreverence. Others will shake their heads at the continuation of their comedic summer of discontent, even through their own embarrassed giggles.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 baseketball joneses: 6.

Press release
Details about a rise in the pupil premium fund.
The total funding available for the Pupil Premium is set to double and will rise to £1.25bn in 2012-13.
The Pupil Premium began to be allocated to schools this year and is targeting funding at pupils from low income families who generally do not achieve as well as pupils from more advantaged backgrounds. Government funding will support them in reaching their potential and help schools reduce educational inequalities.
Children’s Minister Sarah Teather confirmed that the total funding available for the Pupil Premium will be £1.25bn in 2012-13. This is a rise from £625m in 2011-12, and will rise again each year until 2014-15 when it will be worth £2.5bn.
Children’s Minister Sarah Teather said:
The amount the Government is making available through the Pupil Premium will double next year and I am delighted to announce this increase. It shows this Government’s commitment to reforming funding for schools to make it fairer for the most deprived children.
It is our responsibility to close the gulf in achievement, where the poorest children are almost three times less likely to leave school with five good GCSEs than their richer classmates.
This extra funding will help tackle inequality and make sure thousands of children get the extra support they need to succeed and reach their potential.
Per pupil allocations and how the Pupil Premium will be distributed in 2012-13 has not yet been finalised. This will be announced in due course.
The Pupil Premium is in addition to main school funding provided through Dedicated Schools Grant.
The method for determining eligibility for the premium and therefore the allocation per pupil in 2012-13 is subject to the school funding consultation.
From this year the school performance tables will include information that holds schools better to account for the contribution they make towards narrowing the gap in attainment between pupils from low income families and their more advantaged peers. This will also help demonstrate the impact of the Pupil Premium.

The British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act requires that certain major project proposals obtain an environmental assessment certificate before they can proceed. The types of projects that may be subject to the act to include industrial, mining, energy, water management, waste disposal, food processing, transportation and tourist destination resort projects.
The legislation and accompanying regulations establish the framework for delivering environmental assessments. However, the scope, procedures and methods of each assessment are flexible and tailored specifically to the circumstances of each proposed project.
Responsible Minister Order
Under the Environmental Assessment Act, two ministers are responsible for making the decision on whether or not to issue an Environmental Assessment Certificate for a project undergoing an environmental assessment. The first is the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. The other is the “responsible minister”, who is the minister, through their Cabinet position, with responsibility for activities in a sector.
An alternate responsible minister is designated for each of the categories for situations where the organization proposing to build a project is a government agency (for instance, a Crown corporation or a ministry) and the responsible minister is in charge of the government agency.
The following table lists the responsible ministers and alternative responsible ministers for each category of reviewable projects.
Categories of Reviewable Projects
Energy Projects
- Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources
- Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development
Food Processing Projects
- Minister of Agriculture
- Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development
Industrial projects
- Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development
- Minister of Jobs, Trade and Technology
Mine Projects
- Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources
- Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development
Tourist Destination Resort Projects
- Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development
- Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Transportation projects
- Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure
- Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Waste disposal projects
- Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing
- Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development
Water Management Projects
- Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing
- Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development
2016 Exemption Regulation
Cabinet has approved a new regulation exempting certain projects from having to obtain an Environmental Assessment Certificate under the Environmental Assessment Act (the Act).
The Exemption Regulation is limited to addressing part of the implications of a recent British Columbia Supreme Court (BCSC) case (Coastal First Nations v. British Columbia). In that case, the BCSC found that Act does not provide government with the authority to dispense with an environmental assessment certificate decision under its equivalency agreement with the National Energy Board (NEB).
The decision had implications on projects that had been constructed and already reviewed and approved by the NEB. Government decided not to impose post construction certificate requirements on projects that were previously assessed and approved by the NEB because it would not be practical nor procedurally fair. The projects reviewed by the National Energy Board that meet the criteria under the new Regulation and will not require an environmental assessment certificate are:
- Spectra South Peace Pipeline;
- Nova Gas Transmission Groundbirch Pipeline;
- Nova Gas Transmission Horn River Mainline Extension;
- Spectra Dawson Gas Plant; and
- Spectra Fort Nelson North Plant
EAO has begun a process for the projects which are also impacted by the court decision but have not been approved or constructed, like Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain Expansion Project. Following a process set out by EAO, including consultation with Aboriginal groups, Ministers will make environmental assessment decisions on these projects according to the Act.

In developing products and services, quality assurance is any systematic process of checking to see whether a product or services being developed is meeting specified requirements. Many companies have a separate department devoted to quality assurance.
A quality assurance system is said to increase customer confidence and a company's credibility, to improve work processes and effinciency, and to enable a company to better compete with others. Quality assurance was initially introduced in World War II when munitions were inspected and tested for defects after they were made. Today's quality assurance systems emphasize catching defects before they get into the final product.

title: "Docs: Seminars"

Seminar data
Seminars form a collection, with each seminar a separate file in the _seminars folder. We follow some conventions for the name and location of a seminar file.
- There is a folder for each year. Please put the file in the folder corresponding to the year of the seminar (create the folder if it does not exist).
- The filename is of the form
yyyy-mm-dd-speakers-name.md
with yyyy-mm-dd
the date of the seminar. In case this cannot be followed (e.g. two talks by a speaker on the same day), please give a reasonable name close to this. To avoid mangling the alphabetical order, you should begin with the date in the above format.
A seminar file is a markdown file similar to the below sample (which you may wish to view in raw form).
{% gist 5f54c38985fcd3fa942b9ccc0b0907a3 %}
- The top-matter (i.e., the part between lines with just three hyphens) should contain the date, time, title, speaker, venue. Fields other than the sate can be omitted if unknown.
- Warning: The colon has a special meaning, so if an entry has a colon, enclose it in quotation marks.
- As seminars are sorted by date, you must have a valid date. It is best to specify this as yyyy-mm-dd, but most common formats (like that in the above example) work too.
- The body (i.e., after the topmatter) of the page should have the abstract and any other details. You should generally not include the title here as it is picked up from the topmatter. Also avoid adding the word "Abstract".
- You may use latex formulas. However due to processing by markdown (which also uses slash as a special character), use a double-slash in place of slash for inline latex, as in the above example. For displayed latex (i.e., enclosed by double dollars), do not use double slashes in place of single ones, just use normal latex.

the needed data. After configuring the instance it can be registered. The core
application handles registration itself, but plugins should always use the
pluginapi.Plugin.register_action method.
If there is a need to create a larger number of actions, it might be convenient
to use a simple DSL understood by the ActionInfoCollection factory method.
This factory creates a list containing ActionInfo and SeparatorInfo objects
which can be registered in a one go.
When any of the registered user actions is executed, RIDE decides which
registered event handlers should be called. It is possible to register a handler
globally or so that it is called only when the plugin is considered active
(i.e. it has focus).
The registering mechanism allows multiple handlers to be registered to the same
menu entry, toolbar button, or shortcut. It is thus possible that, for example,
one keyboard shortcut calls multiple handlers.
It is also possible to enable/disable action's menu entry, toolbar button,
and shortcut by enabling/disabling those with action.Action.enable and
action.Action.disable methods. Action is returned by
pluginapi.Plugin.register_action method.
