1 230 A. M. TUKING [Nov. 12, ON COMPUTABLE NUMBERS, WITH AN APPLICATION TO THE ENTSCHEIDUNGSPROBLEM By A. M. TURING. [Received 28 May, Read 12 November, 1936.] The "computable" numbers may be described briefly as the real numbers whose expressions as a decimal are calculable by finite means. Although the subject of this paper is ostensibly the computable numbers. it is almost equally easy to define and investigate computable functions of an integral variable or a real or computable variable, computable predicates, and so forth. The fundamental problems involved are, however, the same in each case, and I have chosen the computable numbers for explicit treatment as involving the least cumbrous technique. I hope shortly to give an account of the relations of the computable numbers, functions, and so forth to one another. This will include a development of the theory of functions of a real variable expressed in terms of computable numbers. According to my definition, a number is computable if its decimal can be written down by a machine. In 9, 10 I give some arguments with the intention of showing that the computable numbers include all numbers which could naturally be regarded as computable. In particular, I show that certain large classes of numbers are computable. They include, for instance, the real parts of all algebraic numbers, the real parts of the zeros of the Bessel functions, the numbers IT, e, etc. The computable numbers do not, however, include all definable numbers, and an example is given of a definable number which is not computable. Although the class of computable numbers is so great, and in many Avays similar to the class of real numbers, it is nevertheless enumerable. In 81 examine certain arguments which would seem to prove the contrary. By the correct application of one of these arguments, conclusions are reached which are superficially similar to those of Gbdelf. These results f Godel, " Uber formal unentscheidbare Satze der Principia Mathematica und ver- vvandter Systeme, I". Monatsheftc Math. Phys., 38 (1931),
2 1936.] ON COMPUTABLE NUMBERS. 231 have valuable applications. In particular, it is shown ( 11) that the Hilbertian Entscheidungsproblem can have no solution. In a recent paper Alonzo Church f has introduced an idea of "effective calculability", which is equivalent to my "computability", but is very differently defined. Church also reaches similar conclusions about the EntscheidungsproblemJ. The proof of equivalence between "computability" and "effective calculability" is outlined in an appendix to the present paper. 1. Computing machines. We have said that the computable numbers are those whose decimals are calculable by finite means. This requires rather more explicit definition. No real attempt will be made to justify the definitions given until we reach 9. For the present I shall only say that the justification lies in the fact that the human memory is necessarily limited. We may compare a man in the process of computing a real number to ;i machine which is only capable of a finite number of conditions q 1: q q I; which will be called " m-configurations ". The machine is supplied with a "tape" (the analogue of paper) running through it, and divided into sections (called "squares") each capable of bearing a "symbol". At any moment there is just one square, say the r-th, bearing the symbol <2>(r) which is "in the machine". We may call this square the "scanned square ". The symbol on the scanned square may be called the " scanned symbol". The "scanned symbol" is the only one of which the machine is, so to speak, "directly aware". However, by altering its m-configuration the machine can effectively remember some of the symbols which it has "seen" (scanned) previously. The possible behaviour of the machine at any moment is determined by the ra-configuration q n and the scanned symbol <S (r). This pair q n, (r) will be called the '' configuration'': thus the configuration determines the possible behaviour of the machine. In some of the configurations in which the scanned square is blank (i.e. bears no symbol) the machine writes down a new symbol on the scanned square: in other configurations it erases the scanned symbol. The machine may also change the square which is being scanned, but only by shifting it one place to right or left. In addition to any of these operations the m-configuration may be changed. Some of the symbols written down f Alonzo Church, " An unsolvable problem, of elementary number theory ", American J. of Math., 58 (1936), X Alonzo Church, "A note on the Entscheidungsproblem", J. of Symbolic Logic, 1 (1936),
3 232 A. M. TURING [Nov. 12, will form the sequence of figures which is the decimal of the real number which is being computed. The others are just rough notes to "assist the memory ". It will only be these rough notes which will be liable to erasure. It is my contention that these operations include all those which are used in the computation of a number. The defence of this contention will be easier when the theory of the machines is familiar to the reader. In the next section I therefore proceed with the development of the theory and assume that it is understood what is meant by "machine", "tape", "scanned", etc. Automatic machines. 2. Definitions. If at each stage the motion of a machine (in the sense of 1) is completely determined by the configuration, we shall call the machine an "automatic machine" (or a-machine)..for some purposes we might use machines (choice machines or c-manhines) whose motion is onty partially determined by the configuration (hence the use of the word "possible" in 1). When such a machine reaches one of these ambiguous configurations, it cannot go on until some arbitrary choice has been made by an external operator. This would be the case if we were using machines to deal with axiomatic systems. In this paper I deal only with automatic machines, and will therefore often omit the prefix a-. Computing machines. If an a-machine prints two kinds of symbols, of which the first kind (called figures) consists entirely of 0 and 1 (the others being called symbols of the second kind), then the machine will be called a computing machine. If the machine is supplied with a blank tape and set in motion, starting from the correct initial ra-configuration, the subsequence of the sjinbols printed by it which are of the first kind will be called the sequence computed by the machine. The real number whose expression as a binary decimal is obtained by prefacing this sequence by a decimal point is called the number computed by the machine. At any stage of the motion of the machine, the number of the scanned square, the complete sequence of all symbols on the tape, and the ra-configuration will be said to describe the complete configuration at that stage. The changes of the machine and tape between successive complete configurations will be called the moves of the machine.
4 1936.] ON COMPUTABLE NUMBERS. 233 Circular and circle-free machines. If a computing machine never writes down more than a finite number of symbols of the first kind, it will be called circular. Otherwise it is said to be circle-free. A machine will be circular if it reaches a configuration from which there is no possible move, or if it goes on moving, and possibly printing symbols of the second kind, but cannot print any more symbols of the first kind. The significance of the term "circular" will be explained in 8. Computable sequences and numbers. A sequence is said to be computable if it can be computed by a circle-free machine. A number is computable if it differs by an integer from the number computed by a circle-free machine. We shall avoid confusion by speaking more often of computable sequences than of computable numbers. 3. Examples of computing machines. I. A machine can be constructed to compute the sequence The machine is to have the four m-configurations "b", "c", " ", "c :> and is capable of printing " 0 " and " 1 ". The behaviour of the machine is described in the following table in which " R " means "the machine moves so that it scans the square immediately on the right of the one it was scanning previously". Similarly for "L". "E" means "the scanned symbol is erased" and "P" stands for "prints". This table (and all succeeding tables of the same kind) is to be understood to mean that for a configuration described in the first two columns the operations in the third column are carried out successively, and the machine then goes over into the m-configuration described in the last column. When the second column is left blank, it is understood that the behaviour of the third and fourth columns applies for any symbol and for no symbol. The machine starts in the m-configuration b with a blank tape. Configuration m-config. symbol b None c None c None I None Behaviour operations final PO, R R PI, R R -config. c c t b

None PO 6 0 R, R, PI b 1 R, R, PO b II. As a slightly more difficult example we can construct a machine to compute the sequence The machine is to be capable of five ra-configurations, viz. " o ", " q ", "p ", " f ", " b " and of printing "o", "x", "0", "1". The first three symbols on the tape will be " aoo " ; the other figures follow on alternate squares. On the intermediate squares we never print anything but "x". These letters serve to " keep the place " for us and are erased when we have finished with them. We also arrange that in the sequence of figures on alternate squares there shall be no blanks.

These complete configurations are described by writing down the sequence of symbols which are on the tape,

This form is less easy to follow, but we shall make use of it later for theoretical purposes. The convention of writing the figures only on alternate squares is very useful: I shall always make use of it. I shall call the one sequence of alternate squares JF'-squares and the other sequence ^/-squares. The symbols oi. ^-squares will be liable to erasure. The symbols on F-squares form a continuous sequence. There are no blanks until the end is reached. There is no need to have more than one je'-square between each pair of.f-squarcs : an apparent need of more ^/-squares can be satisfied by having a sufficiently rich variety of symbols capable of being printed on ^-squares. If a symbol /3 is on an F-square S and a symbol a is on the ^-square next on the right of S, then S and /3 will be said to be marked with a. The process of printing this a will be called marking js (or S) with a. The 4. Abbreviated tables. There are certain types of process used by nearly all machines, and. these, in some machines, are used in many connections. These processes include copying down sequences of symbols, comparing sequences, erasing all symbols of a given form, etc. Where such processes are concerned we can abbreviate the tables for the m-configurations considerably by the use of "skeleton tables". In skeleton tables there appear capital German letters and small Greek letters. These are of the nature of "variables '". By replacing each capital German letter throughout by an ^^-configuration
7 236 A. M. TURING [Nov. 12, and each small Greek letter by a symbol, we obtain the table for an m-configuration. The skeleton tables are to be regarded as nothing but abbreviations: they are not essential. So long as the reader understands how to obtain the complete tables from the skeleton tables, there is no need to give any exact definitions in this connection. Let us consider an example: m-config. f(e,s5,a) fi(6,93,a) Symbol Behaviour f a not a Final m-config. L f^g, 95, a) L R R R f(<5,s3,a) f 2 (G, I, 93, a) From the m-configuration 93, a) the machine finds the symbol of form a which is farthest to the left (the "first a") and the?w-confi,guration then becomes (L If there is no a then the m-configuration becomes 93. None R 93 If we were to replace throughout by q (say), 93 by r, and a. by x, we should have a complete table for the m-configuration f (q, x, x). f is called an "?/i-configuration function" or "m-function". The only expressions which are admissible for substitution in an»i-function are the m-configurations and symbols of the machine. These have to be enumerated more or less explicitly: they may include expressions such as p(c, x); indeed they must if there are any m-functions used at all. If we did not insist on this explicit eaumeration, but simply stated that the machine had certain m-configurations (enumerated) and all m-configurations obtainable by substitution of m-configurations in certain m-function.-j, we.should usually get an infinity of m-configurations; e.g., we might say that the machine was to have the m-configuration q and all m-configurations obtainable by substituting an m-configuration for in p( ). Then it would have q, p(q), pfp(q)v p(p(p(q))),... asm-configurations. Our interpretation rule then is this. We are given the names of the ^-configurations of the machine, mostly expressed in terms of m-functions. We are also given skeleton tables. All we want is the complete table for the m-configurations of the machine. This is obtained by repeated substitution in the skeleton tables.

The last example seems somewhat more difficult to interpret than most. Let us suppose that in the list of m-configurations of some machine there appears c('b, x) (=q, saj').

Enumeration of computable sequences. A computable sequence y is determined by a description of a machine which computes y. Thus the sequence is determined by the table on p. 234, and, in fact, any computable sequence is capable of being described in terms of such a table. It will be useful to put these tables into a kind of standard form. In the first place let us suppose that the table is given in the same form as the first table, for example, I on p That is to say, that the entry in the operations column is always of one of the forms E :E,R:E,L:Pa: Pa, R: Pa, L:R:L: or no entry at all. The table can always be put into this form by introducing more m-configurations. Now let us give numbers to the w-configurations, calling them q x,..., q R, as in 1. The initial m-configuration is always to be called q v We also give numbers to the symbols #]_,..., S m
11 240 A. M. TUBING [Nov. 12, and, in particular, blank = 8 0, 0 = S lt 1 = S 2. The hnes of the table are now of form Final m-config. Symbol Operations m-config. to to to Lines such as to are to be written as s, Si Si Si PS k,l PS ki R PS k E, R to and lines such as Si PS 0, R ft to be written as to Si s. R PS,, R In this way we reduce each line of the table to a line of one of the forms (Nj, (N 2 ), (i\y. From each line of form (N^ let us form an expression q ( Sj ] S b L q m ; from each line of form (N 2 ) we form an expression q i S j S k Rq m ; and from each line of form (N 3 ) we form an expression #, #, S k Nq m. Let us write down all expressions so formed from the table for the machine and separate them by semi-colons. In this way we obtain a complete description of the machine. In this description we shall replace q { by the letter "D" followed by the letter "A" repeated i times, and $,- by "D" followed by "C" repeated j times. This new description of the machine may be called the standard description (S.D). It is made up entirely from the letters "A", " C", "D", "L", "R", "N", and from If finally we replace "A" by "1", "C" by "2", "D" by "3", " L" by "4", "R" by c '5", "N" by "6", and "* 3> by < 7" we sh,all have a description of the machine in the form of an arabic numeral. The integer represented by this numeral may be called a description number (D.N) of the machine. The D.N determine the S.D and the structure of the
12 1936.] ON COMPUTABLE NUMBERS. 241 machine uniquely. The machine whose D.N is n may be described as To each computable sequence there corresponds at least one description number, while to no description number does there correspond more than one computable sequence. The computable sequences and numbers are therefore enumerable. Let us find a description number for the machine I of 3. When we rename the m-configurations its table becomes: q-l ^o *b 1} K q 2 q 2 S Q P8 O, R q 3 q 3 S o PS 2) R # 4 ft S Q PS o>r ft Other tables could be obtained by adding irrelevant lines such as q x S x PS V R q 2 Our first standard form would be q x OQOJRq%j q%^o^o-"ft» 2*3 o^2-"ft' ft^o^orq\j The standard description is DADDCRDAA ;DAADDRDAAA; I^^DDCCtfi)^^ \DAAAADDRDA; A description number is and so is A number which is a description number of a circle-free machine will be called a satisfactory number. In 8 it is shown that there can be no general process for determining whether a given number is satisfactory or not. 6. The universal computing machine. It is possible to invent a single machine which can be used to compute any computable sequence. If this machine M is supplied with a tape on the beginning of which is written the S.D of some computing machine.at, 8KR. 2. VOL. 42. NO B
13 242 A. M. TURING [NOV. 12, then 'It will compute the same sequence as it. In this section I explain in outline the behaviour of the machine. The next section is devoted to giving the complete table for U. Let us first suppose that we have a machine it' which will write down on the.f-squares the successive complete configurations of it. These might be expressed in the same form as on p. 235, using the second description, (C), with all symbols on one line. Or, better, we could transform this description (as in 5) by replacing each ra-configuration by "D" followed by "A" repeated the appropriate number of times, and by replacing each symbol by "D" followed by "C" repeated the appropriate number of times. The numbers of letters'' A " and'' C " are to agree with the numbers chosen in 5, so that, in particular, "0" is replaced by "DC", "1" by "DCC", and the blanks by "D". These substitutions are to be made after the complete configurations have been put together, as in (C). Difficulties arise if we do the substitution first. In each complete configuration the blanks would all have to be replaced by " D ", so that the complete configuration would not be expressed as a finite sequence of symbols. If in the description of the machine II of 3 we replace " o " by " DA A ", "a" by "DCCC", "q" by "DAAA", then the sequence (C) becomes: DA.DCCCDCCCDAADCDDC.DCCCDCCCDAAADCDDC:... (CJ (This is the sequence of symbols on ^-squares.) It is not difficult to see that if it can be constructed, then so can it'. The manner of operation of it' could be made to depend on having the rules of operation {i.e., the S.D) of il written somewhere within itself {i.e. within il/); each step could be carried out by referring to these rules. We have only to regard the rules as being capable of being taken out and exchanged for others and we have something very akin to the universal machine. One thing is lacking : at present the machine it' prints no figures. We may correct this by printing between each successive pair of complete configurations the figures which appear in the new configuration but not in the old. Then (C^) becomes DDA:O:O:DCCCDCCCDAADCDDC:DCCC... (C 2 ) It is not altogether obvious that the ^-squares leave enough room for the necessary "rough work", but this is, in fact, the case. The sequences of letters between the colons in expressions such as (Cj) may be used as standard descriptions of the complete configurations. When the letters are replaced by figures, as in 5, we shall have a numerical
14 1936.] ON COMPUTABLE NUMBERS. 243 description of the complete configuration, which may be called its description number. 7. Detailed description of the universal machine. A table is given below of the behaviour of this universal machine. The m-configurations of which the machine is capable are all those occurring in the first and last columns of the table, together with all those which occur when we write out the unabbreviated tables of those which appear in the table in the form of m-functions. E.g., e(anf) appears in the table and is an wi-fimction. Its unabbreviated table is (see p. 239) e(anf) e^anf) 9 not 9 Any None R L R, E, R e^onf) c(anf) ei(anf) Consequently e 1 (anf) is an m-configuration of U. When \l is ready to start work the tape running through it bears on it the symbol a on an.f-square and again Q on the next i -square; after this, on.f-squares only, comes the S.D of the machine followed by a double colon "::" (a single symbol, on an.f-square). The S.D consists of a number of instructions, separated by semi-colons. Each instruction consists of five consecutive parts (i) "D" followed by a sequence of letters "A". relevant m-configuration. (ii) "JD" followed by a sequence of letters " C". scanned symbol. anf This describes the This describes the (iii) "D" followed by another sequence of letters "C". This describes the symbol into which the scanned symbol is to be changed. (iv) "L", "i2", or "JV", describing whether the machine is to move to left, right, or not at all. (v) "D" followed by a sequence of letters "A". final m-configuration. This describes the The machine U is to be capable of printing "A", "0", ct D", "0", "1", "u", "v", "w", "z", "y", "z".

Application of the diagonal process. It may be thought that arguments which prove that the real numbers are not enumerable would also prove that the computable numbers and sequences cannot be enumerable*. It might, for instance, be thought that the limit of a sequence of computable numbers must be computable. This is clearly only true if the sequence of computable numbers is defined by some rule. Or we might apply the diagonal process. "If the computable sequences are enumerable, let a /( be the n-th computable sequence, and let </> ;l (ra) be the?n-th figure in a u. Let /? be the sequence with \ <j> n (n) as its n-th. figure. Since /3 is computable, there exists a number K such that l cf) ll (n) = <f) K (n) all n. Putting n = K, we have 1 = 2(f> K (K), i.e. 1 is even. This is impossible. The computable sequences are therefore not enumerable". The fallacy in this argument lies in the assumption that is computable. It would be true if we could enumerate the computable sequences by finite means, but the problem of enumerating computable sequences is equivalent to the problem of finding out whether a given number is the D.N of a circle-free machine, and we have no general process for doing this in a finite number of steps. In fact, by applying the diagonal process argument correctly, we can show that there cannot be any such general process. The simplest and most direct proof of this is by showing that, if this general process exists, then there is a machine which computes /?. This proof, although perfectly sound, has the disadvantage that it may leave the reader with a feeling that "there must be something wrong". The proof which I shall give has not this disadvantage, and gives a certain insight into the significance of the idea "circle-free". It depends not on constructing /3, but on constructing fi', whose n-th. figure is <j> n {n). * Cf. Hobson, Theory of functions of a real variable (2nd ed., 1921), 87, 88.
18 1936.] ON COMPUTABLE NUMBERS. 247 Let us suppose that there is such a process; that is to say, that we can invent a machine <D- which, when supplied with the S.D of any computing machine il will test this S.D and if il is circular will mark the S.D with the symbol "u" and if it is circle-free will mark it with " s ". By combining the machines <& and U we could construct a machine :l I- to compute the sequence j8'. The machine <O- may require a tape. We may suppose that it uses the je'-squares beyond all symbols on.f-squares, and that when it has reached its verdict all the rough work done by l 0- is erased. The machine Ji has its motion divided into sections. In the first N 1 sections, among other things, the integers 1, 2,..., N 1 have been written down and tested by the machine < Q>-. A certain number, say R(N I), of them have been found to be the D.N's of circle-free machines. In the N-th section the machine ( & tests the number N. If N is satisfactory, i.e., if it is the D.N of a circle-free machine, then R(N) = l-\-r(n l) and the first R{N) figures of the sequence of which a $ N is N are calculated. The R(N)-th figure of this sequence is written down as one of the figures of the sequence/3' computed by Ji. If N is not satisfactory, then R(N) = R(N 1) and the machine goes on to the (iv-(-l)-th section of its motion. From the construction of J I- we can see that.11- is circle-free. Each section of the motion of Ji comes to an end after a finite number of steps. For, by our assumption about Q, the decision as to whether N is satisfactor}' is reached in a finite number of steps. If N is not satisfactory, then the JV-th section is finished. If N is satisfactory, this means that the machine il(jv) whose D.N is N is circle-free, and therefore its J?(iV)-th figure can be calculated in a finite number of steps. When this figure has been calculated and written down as the R(N)-th figure of /3', the iv-th section is finished. Hence il is circle-free. Now let K be the D.N of Ji. What does Ji do in the K-th. section of its motion 1 It must test whether K is satisfactory, giving a verdict " 5 " or "u". Since K is the D.N of JI- and since JI is circle-free, the verdict cannot be "u". On the other hand the verdict cannot be "s". For if it were, then in the K-th. section of its motion J I- would be bound to compute the first R(K 1) + 1 = R(K) figures of the sequence computed by the machine with K as its D.N and to write down the R(K)-th as a figure of the sequence computed by ill. The computation of the first R(K) l figures would be carried out all right, but the instructions for calculating the R(K)-th. would amount to "calculate the first R(K) figures computed by H and write down the R(K)-th". This R{K)-th figure would never be found. I.e., 'i-l is circular, contrary both to what we have found in the last paragraph and to the verdict "s". Thus both verdicts are impossible and we conclude that there can be no machine '0-.
19 248 A. M. TURING [NOV. 12, We can show further that there can be no machine which, when supplied iviih the S.D of an arbitrary machine AV, will determine vjhether AV ever prints a given symbol (0 say). We will first show that, if there is a machine, then there is a general process for determining whether a given machine.u< prints 0 infinitely often. Let Jl x be a machine which prints the same sequence as A\, except that in the position where the first 0 printed by.11- stands, A\ x prints 0. U 2 is to have the first two s\aribols 0 replaced by 0, and so on. Thus, if U- were to print ABAQlAABOQIOAB..., then A\ ± would print and.11 2 would print ABA01AAB0010AB... ABAoiAAB~00l0AB... Xow let H ; be a machine which, when supplied with the S.D of.u, will write down successively the S.D of.11, of.ll l5 of U 2,... (there is such a machine). We combine V' with I' and obtain a new machine, Xj. In the motion of (, first > is used to write down the S.D of -U, and then t tests it.: o: iy written if it is found that 11 never prints 0; then ^ writes the S.D of II 2, and this is tested.. : 0 : being printed if and only if U x never prints 0) and so on. KOAV let us test.<, with ('. If it is found that X] never prints 0, then.h prints 0 infinitely often; ifxj prints 0 sometimes, then.11 does not print 0 infinitely often. Similarly there is a general process for determining whether U- prints 1 infinitely often. By a combination of these processes we have a process for determining whether. U prints an infinity offigures,i.e. we have a process for determining whether.11 is circle-free. There can therefore be no machine i. The expression "there is a general process for determining..." has been used throughout this section as equivalent to "there is a machine which will determine... ". This usage can be justified if and only if we can justify our definition of "computable". For each of these "general process : ' problems can be expressed as a problem concerning a general process for determining Avhether a given integer n has a property G(n) [e.g. G{n) might mean "n is satisfactory" or "n is the Godel representation of a provable formula"], and this is equivalent to computing a number whose n-th. figure is 1 if G (n) is true and 0 if it is false.
20 1936.] Otf COMPUTABLE NUMBERS The extent of the computable numbers. No attempt has yet been made to show that the " computable " numbers include all numbers which would naturally be regarded as computable. Al I arguments which can be given are bound to be, fundamentally, appeals to intuition, and for this reason rather unsatisfactory mathematically. The real question at issue is " What are the possible processes which can be carried out in computing a number?" The arguments which I shall use are of three kinds. (a) A direct appeal to intuition. (6) A proof of the equivalence of two definitions (in case the new definition has a greater intuitive appeal). (c) Giving examples of large classes of numbers which are computable. Once it is granted that computable numbers are all c: computable"". several other propositions of the same character follow. In particular, it follows that, if there is a general process for determining whether a formula of the Hilbert function calculus is provable, then the determination can bo carried out by a machine. I. [Type (a)]. This argument is only an elaboration of the ideas of 1. Computing is normally done by writing certain symbols on paper. "We may suppose this paper is divided into squares like a child's arithmetic book. In elementary arithmetic the two-dimensional character of the paper is sometimes used. But such a use is always avoidable, and I think that it will be agreed that the two-dimensional character of paper is no essential of computation. I assume then that the computation is carried out on one-dimensional paper, i.e. on a tape divided into squares. I shall also suppose that the number of symbols which may be printed is finite. If we were to allow an infinity of symbols, then there would be symbols differing to an arbitrarily small extent j. The effect of this restriction of the number of symbols is not very serious. It is always possible to use sequences of symbols in the place of single symbols. Thus an Arabic numeral such as f If we regard a symbol as literally printed on a square we may suppose that the square is 0 < x < 1, 0 < y < 1. The symbol is defined as a set of points in this square, viz. the set occupied by printer's ink. If these sets are restricted to be measurable, we can define the "distance" between two symbols as the cost of transforming one symbol into the other if the cost of moving unit area of printer's ink unit distance is unity, and there is an infinite supply of ink at x = 2. y = 0. With this topology the symbols form a conditionally compact space.

"Weird Al" Yankovic has dropped his third straight music video in as many days – this time giving his trademark parody treatment to Lorde's smash hit song "Royals."
While the Kiwi singer's original tune revolved around her not caring for worldly wealth and glamour, Weird Al's rendition of the song is just weird. But if we have learned one thing from him, it's the weirder his musical offerings are, the better the song.
Using his satirical talents, he has turned "Royals" into an ode professing his love for "Foil" – aluminum foil that is. He starts off with how foil keep our sandwiches clean and secure from bacteria and fungus. He, however, takes it a little too far by adding aliens, the government and even the Illuminati to the list of things an aluminum foil can offer protection against.
His bizarre lyrics coupled with the visual make for one magnificent spoof video. It's probably the best one of all three videos he has released this week. Check it out up top.

Description: Along with Wit, Charm, Health, and Courage, Princess Amy of Phantasmorania receives a special fairy christening gift: Ordinariness. Unlike her six beautiful sisters, she has brown hair and freckles, and would rather have adventures than play the harp, embroider tapestries . . . or become a Queen. When her royal parents try to marry her off, Amy runs away and, because she's so ordinary, easily becomes the fourteenth assistant kitchen maid at a neighboring palace. And there . . . much to everyone's surprise . . . she meets a prince just as ordinary (and special) as she is! "This delightful fairy tale is sure to please young romantics . . . Neither Kaye's princess nor her book should be considered ordinary." (School Library Journal)

text: WVU football: Numbers, nuggets for WVU vs. Baylor By Chuck McGill October 5, 2013 Story Share Note: This feature appears in Mountaineer Gameday in Friday editions of the Charleston Daily Mail and Charleston Gazette. Daily Mail Sports Editor Chuck McGill provides numbers and nuggets for West Virginia University's football game. This week, he breaks down Saturday's matchup between the Mountaineers and nationally ranked Baylor. WVU is again a massive underdog to a Big 12 school. .167The Big 12 hasn't been kind to Baylor in conference openers. The Bears have lost five of six - the winning percentage listed here - Big 12 openers. The most recent league opening loss came at West Virginia last season, a 70-63 Mountaineers win that rewrote the record books.1The Baylor Bears offense is tops in college football in a number of categories, including total offense (751.3 yards per game), passing offense (444.3), team passing efficiency (239.63) and scoring offense (69.7 points per game).3That's the jersey number for WVU running back Charles Sims, but it also represents the number of players who have 300 rushing yards and 150 receiving yards in the FBS this season. Sims has 388 yards on the ground and has 163 yards on 17 receptions. East Carolina's Vintavious Cooper and Toledo's David Fluellen are also in the 300-150 club. 4Dating back to the 2012 regular season home finale, the West Virginia University football program has won four consecutive home games. The Mountaineers are on the road this weekend, but that number is noteworthy because WVU won those four games with four different starting quarterbacks: Geno Smith, Paul Millard, Ford Childress and Clint Trickett.7Baylor owns the longest active win streak in the Big 12 at seven games. The Bears have lost eight games the past three seasons, but only one of those have come at Floyd Casey Stadium, the site of this weekend's game. Baylor is 15-1 at home the past three seasons, including an active win streak of six.8WVU ranks in the top 25 nationally in just one team category: net punting.The Mountaineers, led by Nick O'-Toole, have averaged 42.81 yards on 31 punts - No. 8 nationally. Only Louisiana Tech (33) and New Mexico State (35) have more punts without a touchback. 11Saturday's WVU-Baylor game features the top two rushers in the Big 12: Lache Seastrunk and Charles Sims. The Bears' Seastrunk leads the conference with 417 rushing yards and has a staggering 11 yards-per-carry average. Sims averages five yards per rushing attempt. 12This weekend is No. 12 for WVU in the Big 12 Conference. Yes, that's right, the Mountaineers are playing in their 12th conference game since joining the league before the 2012 season. Baylor represents the seventh ranked league opponent WVU has faced in this span. In fact, this will be the third ranked opponent for the Mountaineers this season and all hail from the Big 12. 27.5Baylor is a 27.5-point favorite over West Virginia. The Mountaineers have never won a game as this big of an underdog. WVU was a 19.5-point underdog to Oklahoma State last Saturday, the most points the Mountaineers have ever been an underdog and managed to win. WVU was a 28.5-point underdog at Miami in 1991 and a 35-point underdog at Miami in 2001. 309 Clint Trickett passed for 309 yards in his first WVU start last Saturday against Oklahoma State. The total is not a career high - he passed for 336 yards at Florida State in a win over No. 22 Clemson as a freshman in 2011 - but the 309 yards eclipsed his total passing yards for last season at FSU. He was 22-for-34 passing for 272 yards with zero touchdowns and no interceptions last season.

I played one called A Link Between Worlds on the 3ds. I only played about 2 days because I got stuck then gave up im glad I checked it out from the library instead of buying it If I could get unstuck (I was lazy and didn't try hard enough) it would have been a good game.
It wasn't the usually type of game I play.

This barrel planter includes a trellis to support flowers, plants or vegetables as they grow. Climbing vegetables such as beans and tomatoes work great in this planter. All you need to do it just add potting soil and seeds! Plant a tomato and you'll never run out of fresh mouthwatering sandwiches.
Made of white oak and steel barrel hoops, these barrels have spent many years in old warehouses storing smooth southern whiskey. Throughout the years they react to the changing seasons, weathering the wood, and leaving a beautiful patina on the old oak wood. The steel hoops will have rusted slightly, adding to the aged look of these vintage half barrels. Interesting Tidbit: The insides of these barrels were charred to improve the flavor of the whiskey.

It's true that the upstream source packages don't automatically search for 'febootstrap3', but I don't think this is a problem since that is a RHEL 6 peculiarity, and it's easily worked around using FEBOOTSTRAP=febootstrap3.

Colombo: Sri Lanka's top Buddhist clergy have raised the stakes in a raging controversy over the country's newest international cricket stadium built on temple land, officials said on Sunday.The country's senior monk, Udugama Buddharakkitha of the Asgiriya chapter, has warned that Buddhists priests will take to the streets in protest if a top official in the Buddhist Affairs Ministry tries to override the clergy.The official had raised doubts over the legality of a temple in the north-central town of Dambulla leasing its property to the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka to build an international stadium."The Buddhist commissioner thinks he is the Maha Nayaka (Chief Priest) of the country," a temple official quoted monk Buddharakkitha as saying. The monk maintained that they had followed proper procedure in giving out the temple property for the construction of the stadium.It has also become a sensitive political issue because the stadium was built by the previous management of the cricket board, which was sacked by Sports Minister Lakshman Kiriella in March.The Dambulla Stadium built in record 150 days and at a cost of Sri Lankan Rs 300 million ($ 3.3 million) was the venue for the first One-day International between Sri Lanka and England on March 25.The Sports Minister has already ordered an investigation in to financial transaction of the committee headed by Thilanga Sumathipala, who initiated the Dambulla stadium.The Buddhist monks also blasted the authorities for shifting three One-day Internationals scheduled to be played at Dambulla next month between Sri Lanka, New Zealand and India.The new Cricket Board is looking for an alternative venue for Dambulla following legal advice that it may be risky for them to play at the newest Test venue where the ownership was said to be in doubt.The Buddhist Ministry had maintained that the temple was not empowered to give the land over to the Cricket Board, a charge denied by the monks.The cricket board is currently embroiled in several court cases over the dismissal of Sumathipala's management team as well the minister's action to appoint an interim panel.Cricket sources said the decision not to play in Dambulla may be a political move to spite Sumathipala who has argued that the venue would be useful when it is the rainy season in the rest of the country.
