The variables in a goal clause can be read as universally or existentially quantified, and deriving “false” can be interpreted either as deriving a contradiction or as deriving a successful solution of the problem to be solved.
Propositional Horn clauses are also of interest in computational complexity, where the problem of finding truth value assignments to make a conjunction of propositional Horn clauses true is a P-complete problem (in fact solvable in linear time), sometimes called HORNSAT. (
The unrestricted Boolean satisfiability problem is an NP-complete problem however.)
Satisfiability of first-order Horn clauses is undecidable.

A Venn diagram is a diagram that shows the logical relation between sets.
They were popularised by John Venn in the 1880s, and are now widely used.
They are used to teach elementary set theory, and to illustrate simple set relationships in probability, logic, statistics, linguistics and computer science.
A Venn diagram uses closed curves drawn on a plane to represent sets.
Very often, these curves are circles or ellipses.
Similar ideas had been proposed before Venn.
Christian Weise in 1712 (Nucleus Logicoe Wiesianoe) and Leonhard Euler (Letters to a German Princess) in 1768, for instance, came up with similar ideas.
The idea was popularised by Venn in Symbolic Logic, Chapter V "Diagrammatic Representation", 1881.
The following example uses two sets, A and B, represented here as coloured circles.
The orange circle, set A, represents all living creatures that are two-legged.
The blue circle, set B, represents the living creatures that can fly.
Each separate type of creature can be imagined as a point somewhere in the diagram.
Living creatures that can both fly and have two legs—for example, parrots—are then in both sets, and hence correspond to points in the area where the blue and orange circles overlap.
That area contains all such (and only) such living creatures.
Humans and penguins are bipedal, and hence are in the orange circle, but since they cannot fly, they appear in the left part of the orange circle, where it does not overlap with the blue circle.
Mosquitoes have six legs, and fly, so the point for mosquitoes is in the part of the blue circle that does not overlap with the orange one.
Creatures that are not two-legged and cannot fly (for example, whales and spiders) would all be represented by points outside both circles.
The combined area of sets A and B is called the union of A and B, denoted by .
The union in this case contains all living creatures that are either two-legged, or that can fly (or both).
The area in both A and B, where the two sets overlap, is called the intersection of A and B, denoted by .
For example, the intersection of the two sets is not empty, because there are points that represent creatures that are in both the orange and blue circles.

Enrique Peña Nieto (born 20 July 1966) is a Mexican politician.
He was the 57th President of Mexico from 2012 to 2018.
He became President in 2012.
Peña Nieto is a member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
He was Governor of the State of Mexico from 2005 to 2011.
Peña Nieto became President-elect after the 2012 general election was found to be valid by the Federal Electoral Tribunal, after some accusations of electoral fraud.
He took office on 1 December 2012.
Nieto was born on 20 July 1966 in Atlacomulco, State of Mexico, a city 55 miles (89 km) northwest of Mexico City.
He is the oldest of four siblings; his father, Gilberto Enrique Peña del Mazo, was an electrical engineer; his mother, María del Perpetuo Socorro Ofelia Nieto Sánchez, a schoolteacher.
He is the nephew of two former governors of the State of México: on his mother's side, Arturo Montiel; on his father's, Alfredo del Mazo González.
He attended Denis Hall School in Alfred, Maine, during one year of junior high school in 1979 to learn English.
After living in Atlacomulco for the first 11 years of his life, Peña Nieto's family moved to the city of Toluca.
In 1975, his father would often take him to the campaign rallies of the State of Mexico's governor, Jorge Jiménez Cantú, a close friend of Peña del Mazo.
The successor of the governor was Alfredo del Mazo González, a cousin of Peña Nieto's father.
During Del Mazo González's campaign in 1981, the fifteen-year-old Peña Nieto had his first direct contact with Mexican politics: he began delivering campaign literature in favor of his relative, a memory Peña Nieto recalls as the turning point and start of his deep interest in politics.
In 1984 at the age of 18, Peña Nieto traveled to Mexico City and enrolled in the Panamerican University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in legal studies.
Peña Nieto's academic thesis was found to contain some improper citations and plagiarism, which stirred controversy in May 2016.
Peña Nieto sought a master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) at the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM), based in the State of Mexico.
Peña Nieto joined the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in 1984, and with a law degree nearly completed, he began earning his own money.
During his final years in college, Peña Nieto worked for a public notary in Mexico City, around the same time when his relative, Alfredo del Mazo González, was mentioned as a firm candidate for the 1988 presidential elections.
In his twenties, he worked at the San Luis Industrial Corporation, an auto parts manufacturer, and at the law firm Laffan, Muse and Kaye.
While still a student at the Universidad Panamericana, he roomed with Eustaquio de Nicolás, the current president of Homex, a leading Mexican construction and real estate company.
He also befriended and roomed with Luis Miranda, who occupied several offices during the 1999–2000 administration in the State of Mexico.
Peña Nieto formally started his political career under the mentorship of Montiel Rojas, becoming the Secretary of the Citizen Movement of Zone I of the State Directive Committee of the National Confederation of Popular Organizations (CNOP), one of the three sectors of the PRI.
For three consecutive years, Peña Nieto participated as a delegate to the Organization and Citizen Front in different municipalities of the State of Mexico.
Then, between 1993 and 1998, during Emilio Chuayfett's term as governor, Peña Nieto was chief of staff and personal secretary to Montiel Rojas, the Secretary of Economic Development of the State of Mexico.
After 1999, Peña Nieto went from having low-level secretary positions to higher and more qualified offices.
He served from 1999 to 2000 as the Sub-secretary of Government, and as financial sub-coordinator of the political campaign of Montiel Rojas.
In 2001, Montiel Rojas named Peña Nieto Sub-secretary of Interior in the State of Mexico, a position that granted him the opportunity to meet and forge relationships with top PRI politicians and wealthy businessmen.
After his term concluded, he served as the administrative secretary, as president of the Directive Council of Social Security, as president of the Internal Council of Health, and as vice president of the National System for Integral Family Development – all in the State of Mexico.
Under the wing of Montiel Rojas, Peña Nieto formed a group known as the "Golden Boys of Atlacomulco" with other members of the PRI.
Campaign for Governor
Peña Nieto was elected to a local deputy position in his hometown of Atlacomulco, State of Mexico, in 2003.
Two years later, the governorship of the State of Mexico was sought by Atlacomulco-natives Carlos Hank Rhon, Isidro Pastor, Héctor Luna de la Vega, Guillermo González Martínez, Óscar Gustavo Cárdenas Monroy, Eduardo Bernal Martínez, Cuauhtémoc García Ortega and Fernando Alberto García Cuevas.
Peña Nieto was among the crowd, but was not poised as one of the favorites.
Nonetheless, in 2005, Peña Nieto was the last man standing, succeeding Montiel Rojas as governor of the State of Mexico.
On 12 February 2005, with 15,000 supporters in attendance, he was sworn in as candidate for the PRI.
Governor of the State of Mexico (2005–2011)
On Sept. 15 2005, Peña Nieto was sworn as governor of the State of Mexico at the Morelos theater in Toluca.
Among the hundreds of attendees were the outgoing governor, Arturo Montiel; the president of the Superior Court of Justice, José Castillo Ambriz; former governors, members of Peña Nieto's cabinet and party, mayors, businessmen, and church figures.
The centerpiece of Peña Nieto's governorship was his claim that he was to deliver his compromisos – 608 promises he signed in front of a notary to convince voters that he would deliver results and be an effective leader.
According to El Universal, during Peña Nieto's first year as governor, his administration delivered 10 of the structural promises he had advocated in his campaign – marking the lowest figure in his six-year term.
In 2006, his administration carried out 141 of the promised projects, making that year the most active in the governor's term.
The 608 projects Peña Nieto proposed consisted of creating highways, building hospitals, and creating adequate water systems to provide fresh water throughout the state.
The most important of these was highway infrastructure, which tripled under Peña's government.
By mid-2011, the official page of the State of Mexico noted that only two projects were left.
The major projects in public transportation were the Suburban Railway of the Valley of Mexico Metropolitan Area and the "Mexibús", both of which served commuters between Mexico City and the State of Mexico, providing service to more than 300,000 people every day and 100 million a year.
Regarding public health services, 196 hospitals and medical centers were built throughout the state and the number of mobile units to attend remote and vulnerable areas doubled.
Deaths caused by respiratory diseases were reduced by 55%, while deaths caused by dysentery and cervical cancer were reduced by 68% and 25% respectively.
In addition, between 2005 and 2011, the State of Mexico was able to fulfill the requirement of the World Health Organization of having one doctor for every 1,000 inhabitants.
The funds for these and all the other commitments were obtained through restructuring the state's public debt, a strategy designed by his first Secretary of Finance, Luis Videgaray Caso.
The restructuring also managed to keep the debt from increasing during Peña Nieto's term because the tax base was broadened to the point that it doubled in six years.
Peña Nieto also claimed that he halved the murder rate in the State of Mexico during his time as governor, but retracted this claim after The Economist showed that the murder rate did not diminish and was being measured in a different way.
The Yo Soy 132 student movement criticized Peña Nieto for his stance on the San Salvador Atenco unrest, which occurred during his term as governor.
Peña Nieto stated in an interview that he does not justify the actions of the state and municipal forces, but also mentioned that they were not gladly received by the citizens of San Salvador Atenco upon their arrival.

A dopamine reuptake inhibitor (DRI) is a drug.
Dopamine is a type of brain chemical called a neurotransmitter.
Dopamine has many jobs and responsibilities in the brain.
Scientists think dopamine controls movement and the human sense of punishment and reward.
Dopamine affects dreams, motivation, and sexual gratification, too.
A lack of dopamine is responsible for many diseases and conditions.
Sometimes dopamine does not work correctly in the brain.
Sometimes the brain does not have enough dopamine.
Doctors prescribe dopamine reuptake inhibitors (DRI's or DARI's) to help control symptoms.
Psychostimulants and antidepressants are types of DRI's.
DRI's help manage symptoms of ADHD, narcolepsy, Parkinson's Disease, obesity, substance abuse withdrawal and some mood disorders.
Users can become addicted to DRI's sometimes.
DRI's do not have dopamine inside the pills.
They help the body make more dopamine, and they change the way dopamine is re-used in the brain.
Millettia laurentii is a legume tree that is native to central Africa.
The species is listed as endangered in the IUCN Red List, mostly because people are destroying its habitat and over harvesting the tree for timber.
The wood that comes from the tree is called wenge.
It is a dark-coloured hardwood.
Commodore BASIC is also known as PET BASIC.
It is a BASIC programming language.
It was used in Commodore International's 8-bit home computers.
It started with the PET computer in 1977.
The last computer to use Commodore BASIC was Commodore 128 of 1985.
The core was based on 6502 Microsoft BASIC.
It shares many characteristics with other 6502 BASICs like Applesoft BASIC.
The gauss (symbol G) is the CGS unit used to measure magnetic fields.
The tesla (symbol T) is the SI derived unit used to measure the strength of magnetic fields.
There are 10,000 (104) gauss in one tesla.
10−9–10−8 gauss – the magnetic field of the human brain
0.31–0.58 gauss – the Earth's magnetic field at its surface
25 gauss – the Earth's magnetic field in its core
50 gauss – a typical refrigerator magnet
100 gauss – a small iron magnet
600-70,000 gauss – a medical magnetic resonance imaging machine
1012–1013 gauss – the magnetic field on the surface of a neutron star
4×1013 gauss – the quantum electrodynamic threshold
1015 gauss – the magnetic field of some newly created magnetars
1017 gauss – the upper limit to neutron star magnetism; no known object in the universe can generate a stronger magnetic field
Loppers are a long-handled cutting tool.
It has two handles, one connected to a blade and the other to a blunt surface that holds the object being cut.
Like the word scissors, is always used as a plural (one pair of loppers is shown in this image).
It is used for cutting thick plants, even saplings (young trees) or branches that are less than an inch (2.5 cm) thick (about as thick as a person's thumb).
It is used in gardening, tree care, and prairie restoration.
It can cut things that are too big for gardening clippers or pruners.
If the branch or tree is too big for loppers, then a saw is needed.

Pruners are a cutting tool for pruning plants.
A common form is held in one hand; it is also called snippers or secateurs.
It has two handles, one connected to a blade and the other to a blunt surface.
Like the word scissors, pruners is used as a plural.
A pole pruner is like a pair of pruners, but at the end of a pole.
It is operated by pulling on a rope.
Pruners are used for cutting plants and small branches, such as roses and grapevines.
Stems thicker than a pencil will need to be cut with loppers or a saw instead.
Mount Morris is a mountain in the far north of South Australia.
It is about  high, and is the second-highest peak in South Australia after nearby Mount Woodroffe (1,435 m).
Both are in the Musgrave Ranges, near the border with the Northern Territory.
The rock is mostly made up of granite.
Mount Morris is located about  west of the community of Amaṯa.
It was given its name by the explorer William Gosse, who first saw it in July 1873.
Mount Crombie () is a mountain in the northwest of South Australia.
It is a  outcrop of granitic rock.
It is located about  south of Amaṯa.
The mountain is part of the traditional country of the Pitjantjatjara people, and there are several examples of rock art in the area.
Mount Kintore is an inselberg in northwest South Australia.
It is located about halfway between the remote communities of Amaṯa and Watarru.
The mountain is made up mostly of metamorphic beds of gneisses and quartzite, which are split with diorite dykes.
The beds have been thrown into a series of simple folds.
These can be clearly seen on the northern face of the mountain.
The rock has been weathered into ridges, and heavy erosion can be seen along the folds.
At the western end of the mountain, the gneiss is replaced by granite.
Mount Kintore is part of the traditional country of the Pitjantjatjara people.
An important rock hole is located about  to the west, called Kunamata.
Prairie restoration is a type of habitat conservation, for prairies and habitats that lived alongside prairies.
It is the act of restoring land that was once native prairie to how it once was.
In North America this is usually defined as pre-settlement, meaning before Europeans arrived.
Much of this land is good for farming and has been plowed for planting crops or turned into pastures.
In Illinois, there was once 22 million acres (9 million hectares), now there are less than 2300 acres (920 hectares) of high-quality original prairie remaining.
Invasive plants and trees
Invasive species are a big problem with prairies.
Since fires cannot burn freely, many new species are taking over, and preventing sunlight from reaching shorter plants.
In the United States, European buckthorn is a common problem.
Garlic mustard is another.
Often areas that once held a hundred different species of plants now only has three or four species.

Mount Sir Thomas is a mountain in northwest South Australia.
It in the Watarru Indigenous Protected Area, about  southwest of Watarru.
It is in the Birksgate Range, which is part of the traditional country of the Pitjantjatjara people.
An important rock hole is located near the base of the mountain, called  (sometimes written ), meaning "Emu Water".
It is a major sacred site for the  (Emu Dreaming).
The mountain was given the name "Sir Thomas" by a team of European explorers in 1891.
They were on the Elder Scientific Exploring Expedition, which travelled across the Great Victoria Desert between April 1891 and March 1892.
The mountain was named after Sir Thomas Elder, the philanthropist who funded and equipped the expedition.
The surrounding range is named after Elder's home in Adelaide, a large house called "Birksgate".
Mount Lindsay, to the northeast, was named after the leader of the expedition, David Lindsay.
Elder came to South Australia in 1854.
He worked with his brother George, and then became a business partners with Edward Stirling, Robert Barr Smith and John Taylor.
They spent money setting up the copper mines at Moonta and Wallaroo which made them all very rich.
When Stirling and Taylor retired, Elder and Smith became Elder Smith and Company.
This company became the biggest wool selling company in the world.
Elder spent money buying large properties for sheep in outback South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia.
Some of these included Paratoo, Umberatana, Mount Lyndhurst, Blanchewater and Beltana.
He had ridden camels while on holiday in Palestine, and thought they would be good for use in the Australian deserts.
He brought 124 camels and Afghan people to breed camels at Beltana.
These were used for the building of the Australian Overland Telegraph.
Elder provided money and camels for exploration by Peter Egerton Warburton (1872-73), Ernest Giles (1875), John Ross (1874), Lewis (1875), and the Royal Geographical Society of South Australia (1891).
He became a member of the South Australian Parliament Legislative Council in 1863-69 and 1871-78.
He became interested in horse racing and set up stables at Morphetville.
He built a grand Scottish style house at Mount Lofty, which was where he died in 1897.
He was a very rich man, and gave money to many organizations in South Australia.
This included £26,000 for the University of Adelaide, £20,000 for mathematics and general science, £31,000 to the Medical School, and £21,000 to the School of Music.
In his will he gave £10,000 to the Presbyterian Church, £4000 for the Church of England cathedral, £4000 for the Methodist Prince Alfred College, £25,000 to set up a Working Men's Home, and £16,000 to the hospital.
Malik Mir Sultan Khan (1905 – 25 April 1966) was the strongest chess master of his time from Asia.
He was a manservant from British India who travelled with his master, Colonel Nawab Sir Umar Hayat Khan, to Britain, where he took the chess world by storm.
In an international chess career of less than five years (1929–33), he won the British Chess Championship three times in four tries (1929, 1932, 1933), and had tournament and match results that put him among the top ten players in the world.
Sir Umar then brought him back to his homeland, where he gave up chess and returned to his humble life.
He has been called "perhaps the greatest natural player of modern times".
He was generally recognised as a grandmaster, but when FIDE took over control of chess, he was forgotten.
At the FIDE 1948 meeting, a number of former players were given retrospective titles, but not Khan.
Sultan Khan learned the Indian form of chess from his father at the age of nine.
This was a form of chess which was similar to modern chess, but still had some features of the old Arabic chess.
The main feature was that pawns did not move two squares on their first move.
Therefore, the role of opening theory was less important, and gemes developed more slowly.
By the time Sultan Khan was 21 he was the strongest player in the Punjab.
At that time, Sir Umar took him into his household with the idea of teaching him the European version of the game and introducing him to European master chess.
In 1928, he won the all-India championship, scoring eight wins, one draw, and no losses.
After some training with British masters, Khan entered the British Chess Championship.
Next year, in May 1930, Sultan Khan began an international chess career in which he defeated many of the world's leading players.
His best results were second to Savielly Tartakower at Liège 1930; third at the Hastings International Chess Congress  1930–31 behind future World Champion Max Euwe and former World Champion José Raúl Capablanca;  fourth at Hastings 1931–32; fourth at Bern 1932; and a tie for third with at London 1932, behind World Champion Alexander Alekhine and Salo Flohr.
Sultan Khan again won the British Championship in 1932 and 1933.
In matches he defeated Tartakower in 1931 (four wins, five draws, and three losses) and narrowly lost to Flohr in 1932 (one win, three draws, and two losses).
Sultan Khan played three times on first board for England at Chess Olympiads.
At the 3rd Chess Olympiad, Hamburg 1930, he scored nine wins, four draws, and four losses (64.7%).
At the 4th Chess Olympiad, Prague 1931, he faced a much stronger field.
He had an outstanding result, scoring eight wins, seven draws, and two losses (67.6%).
This included wins against Flohr and Akiba Rubinstein, and draws with Alekhine, Kashdan, Ernst Grünfeld, Gideon Ståhlberg, and Efim Bogolyubov.
At the 5th Chess Olympiad, Folkestone 1933, he had his worst result, an even score, winning four games, drawing six, and losing four.
Once again, his opponents included the world's best players, such as Alekhine, Flohr, Kashdan, Tartakower, Grünfeld, Ståhlberg, and Lajos Steiner.
In December 1933, Sir Umar took him back to India.
In 1935, he won a match against V.K. Khadilkar, yielding just one draw in ten games.
After that, he was never heard of by the chess world again.
The Watarru Indigenous Protected Area is an area of 1.2 million hectares in the north west corner of South Australia.
It is in the Great Victoria Desert.
It is the traditional land of the Pitjantjatjara, Ngaanyatjarra and Yankunytjatjara peoples.
These people are known as Anangu.
The area was made an Indigenous Protected Area in June 2000.
It is managed by the Anangu according to their traditional laws and practices known as Tjukurpa.
The environment has not been damaged by cattle grazing or other farming practices.
The Anangu are working with scientists to develop ways of dealing with feral animals including cats, foxes and camels.

An Indigenous Protected Area, or IPA, is an area of land or sea owned by the Indigenous peoples of Australia.
In an IPA the owners have made an agreement with the Australian Government to protect biodiversity and cultural resources.
There are over 50 IPAs covering an area of more than 36 million hectares.
It is planned to increase this area by another 8 million hectares by 2018.
In July 2012, the southern Tanami Indigenous Protected Area was declared, covering 10 million hectares in the Northern Territory.
This is the traditional home of the Warlpairi, and includes the communities of Yuendumu, Willowra and Nyrripi.
Each IPA is managed by its traditional owners.
Plants, animals and cultural sites are protected.
The owners work with the government to control weeds, feral animals, bushfires, and visitors.

She died from cancer, aged 71, in California.
The Military radio station of Pierre-sur-Haute is a  site used for French military communications.
It is located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
It also hosts a civilian radio relay, which is used by Télédiffusion de France.
In the beginning of 2013, the radio station became famous world-wide after the French intelligence agency Direction centrale du renseignement intérieur (DCRI) reportedly attempted to have the article removed from the French Wikipedia.
This request was denied by the Wikimedia Foundation in March 2013.
After this denial, the DCRI had forced a contributor to the French Wikipedia to remove it leading to world-wide media coverage.
The deleted French Wikipedia article was soon restored, because there were no reasons for deletion according to the Wikipedia standards visible.
Meanwhile, the article has been translated into 23 other languages, still counting.
In 1913, a semaphore telegraph was built where the military radio station is now.
At the time, it was only a small stone building, with the semaphore on top.
In 1961, NATO asked the French army to extend the site.

Coolbool Creek is an archaeological site site near the Wakool River in New South Wales, Australia.
It is about half way between Swan Hill and Deniliquin.
The site is near Doherty's Hut at Coobool Crossing, although the exact spot is unknown.
G. M. Black found 126 skulls at the site in 1950.
It has been difficult to give an exact age for the skulls, but one has been dated to 14,300 years ago.
Some of the skulls also show artificial cranial deformation.
The age, location, and deformities make the site similar to another Pleistocene site at Kow Swamp.
Some scientists have said that this shows they were part of the same population, but others have disagreed.
Because Coolbool Creek skulls were found on the surface it is difficult to date them, and other scientists have argued that they might be much older.
The skulls were kept at the University of Melbourne until 1984.
They were returned to the local Aboriginal communities and reburied.
