Officer Who Defended Capitol During Riots Dies of Apparent Suicide
Hanna Trudo, Barbie Latza Nadeau
A Capitol Police officer who responded to the deadly riots in Washington last week died by an apparent suicide on Saturday, according to multiple news reports, as the department struggles to fully recover from the devastating and destructive siege carried out by pro-Trump extremists.
Howard B. Liebengood, 51, worked in the Senate Division and had been assigned with the force since April 2005. He is the son of the late Sergeant of Arms Howard S. Liebengood, who died in 2005.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and colleagues," the U.S. Capitol Police wrote in a statement issued on Sunday. "We ask that his family, and other USCP officers' and their families' privacy be respected during this profoundly difficult time."
A Fox 5 DC reporter circulated a message from Gus Papathanasiou, the chair of the Capitol Police Labor Committee, honoring Liebengood on Sunday afternoon. "We are reeling from the death of Officer Liebengood. Every Capitol Police Officer puts the security of others before their own safety and Officer Liebengood was an example of the selfless service that is the hallmark of the USCP," Papathanasiou wrote. "This is a tragic day."
Papathanasiou sent The Daily Beast the same press release, but did not respond to a specific question regarding suicide as the cause of death. The release notes that Liebengood was "among the officers who responded to the rioting at the U.S. Capitol."
"We extend our deepest sympathies to Officer Liebengood's family and we mourn the death of a friend and colleague who worked alongside us to protect the lives of the Members of Congress, their staff and all who serve at the U.S. Capitol," the full release read.
MAGA Mob Kills Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, Iraq War Veteran Defending Congress From Trump Rioters
A spokesperson for the Capitol Police did not return a request for additional information.
On Sunday afternoon, Barry Pollack, a D.C.-based attorney representing Liebengood's family, emailed a statement. "Mr. Liebengood's family members wish to grieve privately as they mourn the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Howard Liebengood," Pollack wrote. "He will be sorely missed."
While details around the tragic event are still developing, Liebengood is the second Capitol Police officer to die in just one week. Brian Sicknick was violently killed in the insurgency riots on Wednesday in the nation's capital, alongside dozens of other officers who were injured.
Sicknick, 42, was a New Jersey Air National Guard member who worked in Operations "Enduring Freedom" and "Desert Shield."
The police response to last week's mob was considered a colossal security and personnel failure, condemned immediately by Democratic leaders. The day after the breach, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other members of Congress formally asked for USCP Chief Steven Sund to resign. He agreed. Soon after, Senate Sergeant at Arms Michael Stenger also submitted his resignation.
President-elect Joe Biden indicated the police on the scene, who were not able to adequately contain, respond, or instantly arrest individuals in the largely white mobs, had an "unacceptable" response to the attack.
"No one can tell me that if it had been a group of Black Lives Matter protesting yesterday, they wouldn't have been treated very, very differently than the mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol," Biden said. "We all know that's true, and it is unacceptable." During a separate speech in Delaware, Biden called the acts "insurrection."

A woman who participated in the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol surrendered to authorities in Pennsylvania on Monday night, the Justice Department said. Riley Williams, 22, was charged with illegally entering the Capitol, violent entry, and disorderly conduct, but the FBI said it is also investigating a tip from the suspect's former "romantic partner" that Williams broke into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office during the siege, stole a laptop, and "intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia, who then planned to sell the device to SVR, Russia's foreign intelligence service."The transfer of the laptop to Russian intelligence "fell through for unknown reasons," the former partner, identified only as Witness 1, told the FBI, "and Williams still has the computer device or destroyed it." Williams was captured on video urging fellow rioters to go upstairs in the Capitol, toward Pelosi's office, the FBI said. Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, confirmed after the siege that "a laptop from a conference room was stolen," but said "it was a laptop that was only used for presentations."Williams lived with her mother, who identified her as the woman in an ITV video of the Capitol raid, the FBI said. The mother also told authorities that her daughter had taken a sudden interest in President Trump's politics and "far-right message boards." Williams had traveled to the pre-riot protest with her father, but he said they were separated before the Capitol siege, the FBI said, and after they returned to Pennsylvania, Williams deleted her social media accounts, changed her phone number, and fled.More stories from theweek.com 5 more scathing cartoons about Trump's 2nd impeachment Anthony Scaramucci says even he got an invite to Trump's D.C. sendoff Melania Trump released a farewell video.

U.S. officials who have engaged in "nasty behaviour" over Chinese-claimed Taiwan will face sanctions, China's Foreign Ministry said on Monday, after Washington lifted curbs on exchanges between U.S. and Taiwanese officials. Sino-U.S. ties have worsened as China has already condemned this month's easing, announced by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in the waning days of President Donald Trump's presidency. Further adding to China's anger, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Kelly Craft, spoke last week to Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, after a planned trip to Taipei was called off.
U.S. President-elect Joe Biden will wait for a recommendation from his intelligence advisers on whether to share classified information with President Donald Trump after the Republican leaves office, Biden's top aide said on Sunday. Ron Klain, the incoming White House chief of staff, made the comment after former principal deputy director of national intelligence, Sue Gordon, wrote an op-ed arguing against sharing such information with Trump once he has left the presidency.

This two guys need to be punished for their wrong doing and must be set as an example so that no other person will dare to hurt the youngster again. Campagin should be implement to stop this wrong doing and I do not want this thing happen in my home town of Tamparuli Sabah. For the Tamparulian be very careful for your son and daughter and for the teacher keep on alert. For more information please read the passage below.
Two locals, including a 17-year-old boy, turned themselves in to police here on Wednesday for alleged involvement in the assault of a 15-year-old student outside a school in Tanjung Aru.
The 30-year-old man and the teenager were arrested at the Karamunsing police station at 11.30am.
City Police Deputy Chief, Supt. Ramli Mat, said the two suspects had been placed under remand and that police also seized a purple Proton Saga.
He said the two suspects would be investigated under Section 325 for causing grievous hurt, which carries a maximum jail term of seven years and fine.
He said the student's mother had lodged a police report about her 15-year-old son being beaten by a motorist, who drove a purple Proton Saga, at 2pm on June 24.
"The victim's friends were playing football at the school field when the ball flew out and hit one of side mirrors of the car, shattering its side mirror.
"The victim had picked up the ball after it ended up inside a drain and the motorist seized the opportunity to pounce on him. The victim sustained wounds on the left side of his face and eye. He was sent to the hospital to be given medical treatment," he said.
Earlier, City Police Chief ACP Ahmad Sofi Zakaria had pledged to solve the case within this week after the victim's mother wondered why the police were taking so long to settle the case.
In another case, Ramli said two women and a man, including a college student, were arrested for having a drug substance believed to be syabu inside a rented service apartment here on July 11.
He said police seized 28 small plastic packets believed to contain 5.2gm of syabu with a market value of RM1,500.
He said the three suspects aged between 23 and 32 were believed to be drug dependents and also pushers.


Study in Japan, and find the best universities in Japan.
This study guide will give you all the info you need to find universities and study in Japan.
Mitsubishi, the bullet train, robots - Japan is a country that seems to be moving faster than the rest of the world, and it is this pioneering level of technology and innovation that attracts so many international students every year.
As the centre of economy and industry in Asia the country has a large number of world class universities, and the government are aiming to attract 300,000 international students per year by 2020 to study a degree in Japan.
Culture, technology, great quality of life and an envied education system to boot – with all these things considered, could Japan be the right study abroad destination for you?
Find the right Bachelor Degree in Japan with our comprehensive guide.
Japan has around 780 universities, which offer four year bachelors and six year professional degrees.
A professional degree is one that leads to a specific career, for example in the legal sector, whilst a bachelors degrees are in more general areas such as business studies, arts, humanities and social studies, sciences and management.
Approximately 80% of Japan's universities are private, meaning they share such things as resources and research.
All of these universities rank in the top 100 in the QS World University Rankings, with two – Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo - in the top 40.
The approximately 20% of universities in Japan that are not private are classed as "national universities". There are 85 universities, which are overseen by the government-run National University Corporation System.
Explore tuition fees in Japan for bachelor's degrees and find the right bachelors degree at the right tuition cost for you.
Many undergraduate courses are taught in English. However, you will be required to take the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students, which measures basic language skill, knowledge of Japan and academic ability, in order to ensure your suitability for study in the country.
As mentioned above, undergraduate degrees in Japan offer both four year bachelors and six year professional degrees.
As is the case across most of the world, students majoring in arts subjects in Japan study for a bachelors of arts (BA) degree, whilst students studying science subjects will acquire a bachelor of science (BSc) degree.
After completion of their bachelors degree, students will have the option to continue their education with a masters of arts (MA) or masters of science (MSc) degree.
Those studying for a professional degree will learn practical skills with the assumption that they will go on to work in the field that their degree is in later.
Unlike British or American university systems, which often work on a modular basis or include a Grade Pont Average (GPA) at the end, the Japanese education system grades its students using just one or two tests. This means Japanese universities may appear a lot more intense than those in other countries.
Advice on Immigration & Visa in Japan, where you can make sure you get the right documents to make a successful application to your ideal university.
Foreign students intending to study a degree in Japan should obtain College Student Resident status, as well as a visa, which should be applied for directly from the Japanese embassy in their home country.
If you want to study in Japan you first need to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility.
The Certificate of Eligibility is issued by the Ministry of Justice in Japan. To obtain a Certificate of Eligibility, the applicant must ask a sponsor in Japan (an employer, spouse, school, etc.) to contact the local immigration office and make an application on their behalf. The application must be made by a sponsor in Japan.
It is advised that you apply for your Japanese visa within plenty of time in order than it can be sufficiently processed.
Advice on Accommodation & Living Costs in Japan.
The cost of accommodation in Japan varies depending on where you decide to study – whether you are in the centre of a city, for example. Tokyo is by far the most expensive place to live in Japan, and is also one of the most expensive cities in the world overall.
The overwhelming majority (around 77%) of international students in Japan live in private houses rather than university halls, and these can be found through estate agents, local government or the international student office of your university.
University accommodation, when available, is organised through the individual university.
Living costs/rent: The cost of living in Japan is extremely high – although less so outside of the cities. Tokyo is the most expensive city in the world, and even tiny one-room apartments can cost up to £500 per month. The city's suburbs and surrounding prefectures are much cheaper.
Advice For Parents whose children may be looking to study in Japan. You can find complete information on costs, safety, security and tips on keeping in touch during their time away.
Travelling abroad to study would be daunting for anyone. Japan however is one of the safest countries in the world, with one of the lowest crime rates globally – and some of the most hospitable people.
The most common crime in Japan is bicycle theft and the homicide rate is almost six times lower than that of the USA. Japan also has the lowest percentage of people becoming victims of any given crime (21%) in the whole of the G20.
In terms of living, on campus accommodation in dorms means a high level of security and peace of mind, and all universities that accept international students have dedicated support services for them.
• Avoiding carrying around large amounts of money.
• Staying in groups, especially at night, and never walking alone.
• Not making valuables obvious.
• Always having a route home planned and never getting into unlicensed taxis.
• Being wary of strangers.
• Being careful of traffic.
Staying in touch when your child is studying on the other side of the world might seem daunting – but there are ways you can talk regularly that don't have to involve long distance phone calls and a nasty bill at the end of the month.
Apply to Study in Japan and get free online and telephone support with your application. The advice here will help you find the right bachelors at the right university in Japan.
Kobe's vibrancy, cosmopolitan nature and small size means it is still a great place for undergraduate students to come and study.
Kyoto is at the heart of academic Japan and is a great place to study a degree in Japan. Ranked as one of the most liveable cities in the world, Kyoto is a student hub with more than 6,000 international students choosing to live here.
Tokyo is the largest metropolitan area in the world, a hub of entertainment and excitement for any student. Choosing to study a degree in Tokyo is something you will not regret.

Rayan Toliver of Arlington, Texas, holds a sign that reads "We Believe In Peace & Love", as Toliver joined other supporters for a muslim conference against hate and terror scheduled at the Curtis Culwell Center, Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015, in Garland, Texas.
LONDON — Amid growing concern that radicalism is gaining ground against Western democracies, media, politicians and scholars have increasingly moved to focus their narratives on the notion that Islam is inherently opposed to the Western core values of democracy, freedom of expression, and secularism.
"You cannot say that [jihadi terrorism] has nothing to do with Islam. Jihadists are using the freedoms of democracy to achieve political change to try to destroy that democracy and the freedoms which it enshrines," Baroness Caroline Cox, a member of the House of Lords in the United Kingdom, told MintPress News.
Though such beliefs have been pushed forth often, Dr. John Andrew Morrow, a Canadian scholar and director of the Covenants Foundation, explained how such a premise is not only false but profoundly biased and xenophobic.
"True Islam is not a threat to humanity; on the contrary, it represents its very salvation. Islam is not opposed to democracy, secularism, and freedom of speech in the true sense of these terms. Islam has historically supported both direct and indirect modes of political participation," Morrow told MintPress.
"If Islam is portrayed as a mortal enemy to Western civilization and values it is because it poses a formidable obstacle to imperialistic hegemonic interests. Democracy, freedom of expression, and secularism are merely masks worn by the one-percenters (1%), the global elite that seeks to enslave all of humanity as it simultaneously destroys the planet in its greed for resources, wealth, and absolute power. Having succeeded in destroying, subjugating, and co-opting all remnants of resistance, only Islam stands in their path. This explains why the globalists are engaged in a concerted campaign to use false 'Islam' to destroy true Islam," he added.
With U.S. President Barack Obama taking the lead, Western leaders have made strong efforts toward separating terrorism and Islam. Speaking at the closing of a summit on countering violent extremism on Feb. 18, Obama asserted: "We are not going to give them [ISIS militants] the religious legitimacy they seek. They are not religious leaders — they're terrorists … We are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam."
Still, the faith appears to remain the object of much public animosity. The world's 1.6 billion Muslims have been called upon to collectively carry the weight of ISIS' guilt. An entire faith is being held responsible for the religious deviations of a terrorist group that comprises less than 1 percent of the religious population.
Indeed, while ISIS and al-Qaida have declared war on the Western world, it is Muslims — both Sunni and Shiite — who have suffered most. Thousands of Muslims have perished at the hands of ISIS militants in both Iraq and Syria, while tens of thousands have been forced to flee their homes and communities to escape the violence of this black flag army.
"Muslims more than any other community have a stake in this war against terror, as terror is directed at them," Prince Abdul Ali Seraj of Afghanistan told MintPress.
A new take on an old narrative
As France and the rest of Europe slowly come to terms with the fallout from the attacks on the offices of Charlie Hebdo in January, a conversation has emerged from Western capitals, whereby Muslims as a religious group and Islam as a faith have been branded anti-Western.
Militants have anchored their twisted ideology on the Quran for political purposes, and it has been widely assumed that Islam itself is the main catalyst of radicalism.
"Do we blame cancer on healthy cells? No, of course not, because that would be illogical. By labelling an entire segment of the world population are we not following the same irrational logic as those radicals? Islam is not the problem, radicals are. Islam teachings are not the problem, radicals' interpretation of religious texts is," Prince Ali said.
Yet Islam is not the only religion to have ever been hijacked by covert political powers to serve alternative agendas. While disguised under the cloak of the holy, these agendas became clear as intelligence reports revealed that ISIS was receiving funding and arms from oil-rich monarchies whose ultimate goal is to destabilize the Middle East through sectarianism so they can better control and exploit the region's vast oil reserves.
Since its beginnings in the 1860s, the Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist group which proclaimed itself a Christian organization, has committed heinous crimes against the black community and the community's supporters and sympathizers. At the height of its popularity, the KKK had an estimated 4 million to 5 million members in its ranks — roughly 15 percent of the country's eligible population. In Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler used the banner of Christianity to orchestrate the Holocaust.
The KKK and Hitler used Christianity while ISIS uses Islam, yet all have spewed hateful bigotry and committed atrocities against those they've labelled undesirables. Though the KKK rose to dizzying heights with millions of members, much more than ISIS and al-Qaida combined, the American people as a whole were never called upon to answer of the actions of a minority within their ranks.
According to the CIA, ISIS had between 21,000 to 31,500 fighters at the ready, as of September. "This new total reflects an increase in members because of stronger recruitment since June following battlefield successes and the declaration of a caliphate, greater battlefield activity and additional intelligence," a CIA spokesman told CNN in September.
And, as Morrow noted to MintPress, "1.6 billion Muslims in the world have seen their faith held hostage by a thousand crazed few."
In the post-9/11 era Muslims are lumped into one of two categories: good Muslims and bad Muslims, Mahmood Mamdani, Herbert Lehman Professor of Government and Anthropology, Columbia University, pointed out in an essay for the Social Science Research Council.
According to Prof. Tariq Ramadan, a prominent scholar and professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies in the Faculty of Oriental Studies at Oxford University, this binary predates terror and is actually rooted in colonialism.
"Back in the colonial era [19th and early 20th centuries] European orientalist scholars depicted Muslims in the same binary manner: good Muslims versus bad Muslims, depending on whether they stood with or against colonial powers. Times may have changed, but the old mindsets and simplistic portrayals continue to cast a shadow over today's intellectual, political and media debate about Islam," Ramadan told MintPress.
"And because the narrative has so far assumed that Islam draws no distinction between religion and politics, it was then agreed that no distinction would be made to differentiate religious conceptions and practices from political actions, thus reducing the very concept of Islam and the Muslim world to a very simplistic and inherently biased formula."
Addressing Western prejudices toward Islam, Ramadan says that he personally believes the root of the problem has more to do with religious misconceptions than ideological dichotomy.
"From this skewed viewpoint, Muslims have been viewed and perceived as a threat to an otherwise 'open' and modern society," Ramadan said. "But our histories, cultures, and reference points are not identical, and therefore we should not use each other's system of reference to judge one another, as our perspective can only be biased."
As Ramadan alludes to, Westerners' skewed understandings of Islam and Muslims may have created this so-called clash of civilizations, rather than the values Islam professes and Muslims strive to live by.
Ramadan stresses that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam share core similarities. Though tensions indeed continue to exist in "some countries between Christian and Muslim communities for political, social, or economic reasons, by and large if I look at the world, the great majority of Christians are living peacefully with Muslims, and vice versa," he said. "And this has been the case in Muslim-majority countries, so we need to be very cautious with perceptions that there is something intrinsically different between the two religions."
He added: "Now, it's true that if you come to the deep or the principles and lessons from those respective religions we are indeed very close. This is actually mentioned many times in the Quran."
On democracy and secularism
Since President George W. Bush declared war on Islamic radicalism in 2001, the Western world has been taught that Islam is antithetical to democracy and secularism, as mentioned by Baroness Cox.
Yet what if there were no divide and this belief held no real substance? Is it possible that America and the broader Western world simply created a Muslim boogeyman out of their own desire to reduce the world to their own predetermined sets of values?
"It is important to understand that there is no real clash between Islam and secularism. Envisioning the two as antithetical simply arises when one relies on a binary understanding of the world," stressed Ramadan.
"We need, first of all, to define what we mean by the secular world because the secularization process was to differentiate between the state power and the church power — the power of religion. But again, because the religious structure of Christianity and Islam are so different, the secular and the religious mean different things. In Islam we don't have a clergy and there is a clear line between the state and the religious already set in place."
Indeed, where the Church used to regulate and dictate the affairs of the state through a tight and controlled hierarchy, Islam has always drawn a clear line between the religious and the political, Ramadan explained.
"If we are talking about the sharing of powers, Muslims don't have a problem because this concept actually matches Islamic tradition, whereby the affairs of the state and the religious are naturally separate. If we reduce secularity and the process of secularization to less religion or no religion in the public sphere, then it is different. The new discussion in the West on secularity is coming because of the new visibility of Muslims," he said.
According to Ramadan, Western calls for the secularization of the state were born from this understanding that limits would have to be defined and state institutions claimed away from the Church for democracy to become a reality.
"Because Westerners are confronted with Muslims practicing their religion, they feel suddenly that secularism is being challenged. But can we really say that because an individual practices his or her religion he or she automatically rejects the separation of powers? No, of course not. It only means that in their daily life they are practicing their faith. I can be a Muslim, pray, wear the headscarf, and all these things, and at the same time respect the secular legal system. There is no clash between an individual's religious life and civic duties and responsibilities," Ramadan emphasized.
"Muslims don't have a problem with this, by the way. Quite the opposite, I would say. It is Western powers' distorted vision and understanding of Islam which has fed this misconception and led to tensions. Muslims in the West do not have a problem with the system, they live perfectly well within the system," he said, adding that the problem is not in the legal framework but in "inequalities, racism, sectarianism, and so on."
On freedom of expression
Where 9/11 came as an attack on democracy, the attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo was understood as a declaration of war on freedom of expression, one of the founding principles of all Western democracies.
As the world rose in condemnation of the attackers' heinous crimes against free, unarmed people, Islam and Muslims were subjected to much criticism, their faith dissected and analyzed to demonstrate how inherently anti-Western Islamic values really stood before the concept of absolute freedom. Le Figaro, a French daily, ran a headline which read, "Liberty assassinated."
Though arguably all people should be able to express themselves freely, without fear of persecution or repercussion, Ramadan asks: Is it ever possible to abide by principles of absolute freedom? At what point does our freedom impede on that of others?
"This conversation we're having on freedom of expression is something quite important, but once again our starting point is prejudiced and wrong. In no philosophy, in no social organization, in no philosophical structure is there such a thing as absolute freedom of expression. Absolute freedom of expression is impossible," Ramadan said. "In all Western countries there are laws regulating freedom of expression. If I'm a racist, for example, there are things that I cannot do and cannot say without breaking the law."
As an example of this, Ramadan pointed to the French law which criminalizes the act of challenging the factuality of the Holocaust. "[W]here people would agree that the Holocaust was a historical fact and therefore should be open to discussion or debate, France legislated that none would ever be able to challenge the pre-set validity of the event," he said. "How can you take a law on history?"
"In the West there are things you can say and others that you cannot say. And to know your freedom is understanding the scope of your freedom."
While Islam does not recognize absolute freedom of speech, as it would entail that every individual could in all impunity inflict harm on to others in the name of such freedom, it is not to say that it stands in negation of freedom of expression, per se.
As Ramadan told MintPress, "From an Islamic viewpoint we have to differentiate between the legal and moral system — good behavior. There are some things that are legal and some things that are ethical. And not everything which is legal will be ethical, and vice versa."
"And, yes, sometimes we hear people cry out blasphemy in relation to certain issues, but it really comes down to social sensitivities and cultural sensitivities.
When it comes to decency, when it comes to mutual respect, it is not a question of law — it is a question of education and ethics. It comes down to an individual's ability to recognize that one particular attitude is socially reprehensible. We need to ask ourselves, do we want to live in a realistic society?
We live in a multicultural world and we need to learn to respect one another and accept one another for our differences with kindness and empathy. And though some will argue that it is their inherent right to say what they want and attack however they want, is it moral to do so? Is it right to do so?

Q: If $n > 1$ is an integer not of the form $6k + 3$, prove that $n^{2} + 2^{n}$ is composite. I try to divide in to $5$ case $6k, 6k+1, 6k+2, 6k+4, 6k+5$
and put them in $n^{2}$ and consider the possible last digit 0f $2^n$
and sum with those form
I can only prove $6k, 6k+2, 6k+4$ case .the last digit is even number and can divide by $2$.
But I can't prove $6k+1, 6k+5$ case because might be odd and not guarantee Ican divide by some numbers
Anyone can help me by give a hint ?

A: The hint is $n > 1$. When $n = 1$, $n^2 + 2^n = 3$ which is prime. This hints that $n^2 + 2^n$ may be divisible by $3$.
We know that $6k+1$ can be written as $3(2k)+1$ and $6k+5$ can be written as $3(2k+1)+2$. Thus if $n$ is of the form $6k+1$ or $6k+5$, then $n^2 \equiv 1\pmod3$.
The next part is to prove that $2^n \equiv 2 \pmod 3$ if $n$ is of such form. Notice that $2^0 \equiv 1 \pmod 3$, $2^1 \equiv 2 \pmod 3$ and $2^2 \equiv 1 \pmod 3$. Thus for all $k \ge 0$, $2^{2k+1} \equiv 2 \pmod 3$. Since $6k+1$ can be written as $2(3k)+1$ and $6k+5$ can be written as $2(3k+2)+1$, $2^n \equiv 2 \pmod 3$.
Thus  $n^2 + 2^n \equiv 1+2 \pmod 3 \equiv 0 \pmod 3$. This implies that $n^2 + 2^n$ is divisible by 3 if $n = 6k+1$ or $n = 6k+5$.

A: $n = 6k + i$.  If $i$ is even then $n$ is even and $n^2 + 2^n$ is even and as $n^2 + 2^n > 2$ it must be composite.
So it remains to check for $n = 6k \pm 1$.
$(6k \pm 1)^2 + 2^n = 36k^2 \pm 12k + (1 + 2^n)$.
$3|36k^2 \pm 12k$ so if we can show $3|1+2^n$ we are done as $3|n^2 + 2^n$ and as $n^2 + 2^n > 3$ if $n > 1$.
We see $3|1+2^1, 1+2^3, 1+2^5...$ but $3\not \mid 1+2^0, 1+2^2, 1+2^4,...$ so it really looks like $3|1 + 2^{odd}$ which is the case for $n= 6k \pm 1$.
That really seems familiar...  we can maybe search it.  ... Or we can just do it ourselves.
$2^{2m + 1} +1 = 2^{2m}2 + 1 = 4^m*2 + 1$ and $4^m*2 + 1 \equiv 1^m*2 + 1 \equiv 0 \mod 3$.
So... that's there...  $3|2^{odd} + 1$ so...
Case 1-3: $n = 6k + 0,2,4$ then $2|n^2 + 2^n$ and as $n> 0$, $n^2 + 2^n \ne 2$.
Case 4,5: $n = 6k +1,5$ then $3|n^2 + 2^n$ as $n$ is odd. And as $n > 1$, $n^2 + 2^n \ne 3$.
Case 6: $n = 6k + 3$, then $n^2 + 2^n$ may or may not be prime.  We weren't asked to check.

Nj vote on gay marriage
8 days ago, 2019 / Threesome
The high court on Wednesday gave legislators six months to either change state marriage laws to include same-sex couples, or come up with another mechanism, such as civil unions, that would provide the same protections and benefits. The court's vote was 4-to But the ruling was more strongly in favor of same-sex marriage than that split would indicate.
Kaylynn. Age: 23.
The legislation faces a vote on Thursday in the State Assembly, but even if that chamber passes the measure, as expected, Gov. Chris Christiewho favors holding a referendum on the issue, has said he will veto it. But advocates hailed the Senate vote as a huge advance, noting that they won 10 more votes than they did two years ago.
Chris Christie, who pundits say has a mixed record on this issue. That has been less of an issue as long as the Republican primaries have been focused on taxes, foreign affairs, and economics. Ben Dworkin, director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics at Rider University Dworkin, said that the marriage issue is likely only to be an issue if other candidates make it one.

TRENTON - As the green "yes" votes lit up the electronic board in the New Jersey Senate chambers Monday, Steven Goldstein, head of the state's largest gay-rights organization, jumped up and down and applause broke out on the floor and echoed from the balcony. The Senate had voted to legalize same-sex marriage, a measure it rejected just two years ago. The bill is unlikely to become law, at least right away. Although the Assembly is expected to pass it Thursday, Republican Gov.

TRENTON -- New Jersey lawmakers are expecting a dramatic day here as the state's long debate about allowing gay couples to marry hits the floor of the state Senate this afternoon. Thousands of supporters and opponents of the bill are expected to clog the Statehouse and protest outside on a cold day with wind chills in the mids. Pro-gay marriage advocates have an uphill fight to get the 21 votes needed for passage in the upper houseas only 13 senators have publicly supported the bill.
Below is a timeline. Jim McGreevey signs the Domestic Partnership Act, granting gay couples many of the same financial and legal benefits as married couples. June 14, State appeals court upholds ban on gay marriage, rejecting contentions by seven same-sex couples that their right to wed is guaranteed by the state constitution.
In response to court action in a number of states, the United States federal government and a number of state legislatures passed or attempted to pass legislation either prohibiting or allowing same-sex marriage or other types of same-sex unions. Hodges that a fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by the Fourteenth Amendmentand that states must allow same-sex marriage. Section 3 of DOMA defines "marriage" and "spouse" for purposes of both federal law and any ruling, regulation, or interpretation by an administrative bureau or agency of the United States government.
Milani. Age: 26.
New Jersey lawmakers gave their blessing to legalising gay marriage for the first time as the state senate passed a bill that would allow nuptials for same-sex couples, despite Governor Chris Christie's insistence that he will veto such legislation. The senate's vote sends the bill to the Assembly, which is expected to pass it on Thursday. Monday's vote contrasts with the only other gay-marriage vote taken in the legislature.
After a full day of emotional debate and testimony, legislation to allow same-sex marriage in New Jersey cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday night. The vote, which came just after 10 p. The move paves the way for a debate and vote in the State Senate. Senate President Dick Codey promises to post the so-called marriage equality bill to the full Senate floor for debate and a vote on Thursday.

Jenny Packham Willow wedding dress in champagne color, size UK 10 (equates to a US size 8, bridal). Worn for six hours during wedding in May. Bought the dress at the Jenny Packham store in London. Fell in love with the unique vintage look, and have never felt more beautiful than in this dress. It's extremely comfortable and one-of-a-kind. Am very sad to let it go.
Height with Shoes: 5' 8"
Minimal alterations done, which include shortening of dress from original length (I am 5'7" and wore 4" heels to keep as much length as possible), taking in at the waist and bust (but still loose as the dress should be worn with some looseness to it), thin cups sewn in (so that no bra is needed, but can easily be removed if desired), and a french and american bustle sewn in (photo of bustle included, if you do not want to use bustle does not show at all).
Dress has been professionally dry cleaned immediately after wedding. Will be shipped in clear plastic dress bag, and will come with original tags and bag of extra beading.

Four sentenced in Common Pleas
By Bethany J. Royer-DeLong - DarkeCountyMedia.com
GREENVILLE — A struggle over a sawed-off shotgun brought Corey J. Garber, 30, before Darke County Common Pleas Court on Monday. Judge Jonathan P. Hein presided.
According to the police report, an officer was dispatched to the 200 block of Warren Street on reports an individual had been shot on June 10.
It is alleged that Garber and another male had struggled over a weapon when it discharged with the victim transported to Wayne Hospital, then to Miami Valley Hospital.
Darke County Prosecutor Kelly Ormsby stated the weapon, a shotgun with a barrel length of less than 18 inches, caused serious physical harm to the victim.
Garber faced a charge of unlawful possession of a dangerous ordnance, a fifth-degree felony, assault and possessing a defaced firearm, both first-degree misdemeanors. As part of a plea agreement, he gave a plea of no contest to the first and second charges, with the third charge dismissed.
However, after the facts presented by the prosecution and citing enough evidence to establish guilt, Judge Hein entered a guilty verdict to the two first charges.
Sentencing is slated for Jan. 9.
Also in court was Issaiah M. Hudson, 28, of Greenville, for sentencing on a charge of aggravated possession of hydrocodone, a fifth-degree felony.
When Judge Hein asked for his insight, the defendant asked for leniency via community control sanctions, that the possession charge was a mistake, and a recent hospitalization was a wake-up call.
"Easy is not a part of anything," said Judge Hein, concluding the defendant saw community control sanctions as easy or lenient. He noted Hudson's prior criminal history that included previous felonies and a prison sentence. "Lenient is not a part of anything; it's about opportunity and work."
Hudson was to be sentenced to two weeks of jail time dependent on a drug screening with continued community control sanctions. Failure to comply could result in 11 months in prison with up to three years of post-release control.
Also in Darke County Common Pleas Court were the following:
*Matthew A. Karnehm, 31, of New Weston, for an intervention of lieu of conviction hearing stemming from a charge of aggravated possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony.
Citing no previous felony convictions, Judge Hein determined the defendant was a good candidate for intervention with 100 hours of community service, to seek and maintain employment, and court costs.
*Matthew D. Stokes, 36, of Dayton, on allegations of non-compliance stemming from an attempted trespass conviction, a fifth-degree felony, in January. He was sentenced to 30 days in the county jail with no further community control sanctions upon release.
*James R. Moland, 45, of Winchester, Ind., for sentencing on two counts of aggravated trafficking in drugs, both fourth-degree felonies. He was sentenced to up to 60 months of community control sanctions, court costs, and ordered to pay $460 in restitution.
*Jonathan E. Mikesell, 53, of Union City, Ohio, for sentencing on one count of aggravated possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony. He was sentenced to community control, court costs, and to seek and maintain employment.
*Juan Hurtado Gutierrez, 27, of Portland, Ind., was arraigned on possession of fentanyl, a fifth-degree felony. He faces 12 months incarceration and a $2500 fine. He was released on an own recognizance bond with a pre-trial conference slated for Dec. 12.

Etihad Airways has pioneered the world's first flight (from Abu Dhabi to Amsterdam) that operates on fuel produced by local plants grown in saltwater in the UAE. The Boeing 787 aircraft fuel was made using Salicornia plant oil extracted from the SEAS farm in Masdar City – the world's first agricultural system designed to produce food and aviation fuel in saltwater.
The SEAS concept is to extract oil seeds that can be converted into aviation fuel and food for sea animals, from plants. Marking a new beginning for clean air travel, sustainable fuel is groundbreaking for the aviation industry and has a number of positive implications for the environment. Compared to fossil-based fuels, Etihad's "green" fuel will reduce the airline's carbon emission by up to ninety per cent, significantly lowering the negative impact on the environment. Plant-based fuel efficiently blends in with jet fuel, meaning that modifications to aircraft engines are not necessary. Supporting the UAE's efforts towards a sustainable and clean future, this innovation is a significant milestone in aviation history.

Case Studies in Liquidity Risk: JPMorgan Chase, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual
Today's blog focuses on the U.S. dollar funding shortfall that took place at JPMorgan Chase, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual during the period from February 8, 2008 to March 16, 2009. Today's blog confirms a result that will be surprising to many: in combination with Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, JPMorgan Chase was the most significant borrower from the Federal Reserve after AIG. JPMorgan's peak borrowings, on a consolidated basis, were $101.1 billion, nearly four times the $28 billion that the Federal Reserve was willing to lend to Lehman Brothers only after Lehman declared bankruptcy on September 14, 2008.
This is the thirteenth Kamakura case study in liquidity risk, following earlier blogs on AIG, Bank of America, Countrywide Financial, Merrill Lynch, a consolidation of the latter three firms, Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Dexia SA, Depfa Bank plc, Barclays, and Goldman Sachs.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve was required to disclose the identities and relevant amounts for borrowers under various credit facilities during the 2007-2010 financial crisis. These credit facilities provide perhaps the best source of data about liquidity risk and funding shortfalls of the last century. This data is available for purchase from Kamakura Corporation and is taken from the Kamakura Risk Information Services Credit Crisis Liquidity Risk data base. We use this data to determine to what extent there was a funding shortfall at JPMorgan Chase, Bear Stearns, and Washington Mutual during the credit crisis.
The data used for all three firms in this analysis is described in more detail below. The data consists of every transaction reported by the Federal Reserve as constituting a "primary, secondary, or other extension of credit" by the Fed. Included in this definition are normal borrowings from the Fed, the primary dealer credit facility, and the asset backed commercial paper program. Capital injections under the Troubled Asset Relief Program and purchases of commercial paper under the Commercial Paper Funding Facility are not included in this definition put forth by the Federal Reserve.
A detailed chronology of the 2007-2009 credit crisis is given in these two recent blog posts:
van Deventer, Donald R. "A Credit Crisis Chronology Part 1 Through February 2008: This Time Isn't Different," Kamakura blog, www.kamakuraco.com, May 13, 2011.
van Deventer, Donald R. "A Credit Crisis Chronology Part 2 March 2008 Through March 2009: This Time Isn't Different," Kamakura blog, www.kamakuraco.com, May 14, 2011.
The key dates in the chronology relevant to JPMorgan and the two firms it acquired are summarized below. We call your attention to the references to deposit run off at Washington Mutual, which total $27 billion. Wamu's borrowings from the Federal Reserve were only $2 billion for 8 days, so deposit run-offs were met largely via Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and asset sales. The Levin report referred to below is the report entitled "Wall Street and the Financial Crisis: Anatomy of a Financial Collapse," Majority and Minority Staff Report, Permanent Committee on Investigations (Senator Carl Levin, Chairman), U.S. Senate, April 13, 2011.

$175 million on March 3, 2008.
$101.1 billion on April 3, 2008
The graph below shows the one month and one year default probabilities for JPMorgan Chase from Kamakura Risk Information Services version 5.0 Jarrow-Chava reduced form credit model. Default probabilities began rising in an erratic pattern two months after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers on September 15, 2008 with the rise continuing through March 16, 2009, the last data point provided by the Federal Reserve:
Cumulative default risk is shown below for JPMorgan Chase on March 17, 2008, immediately after the announcement of the combination with Bear Stearns. JPMorgan's 5 year cumulative default risk was only 1.09%, a small fraction of the Barclays peak of 13.89% in March 2009.
JPMorgan's first borrowing from the Federal Reserve was $175 million on March 3, 2008, probably a "practice run" in anticipation of the Sunday March 16 announcement that JPMorgan Chase would absorb Bear Stearns in a Fed-supported rescue. The graph below shows the dual peaks in the consolidated borrowings in the names of JPMorgan Chase, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual. The first peak borrowing for the combined firms from the Fed was $101.1 billion on April 3, 2008, two weeks after the rescue of Bear Stearns. The second peak was $67.5 billion on October 15, 2008, one month after the failure of Lehman and three weeks after Washington Mutual was absorbed. Part of the means of the pay down following this second peak was a $25 billion capital injection in late October 2008 under the Capital Purchase Program of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, according to an October 5, 2009 report of the Special Inspector General of the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
In the chart below, we compare JPMorgan's consolidated funding short fall to those firms whose liquidity risk we have previously analyzed in this series. JPMorgan's consolidated funding shortfall, measured by average drawn borrowing of $23.67 billion, ranks third of the firms analyzed in this series to date.
If one ranks the same firms by largest outstanding borrowing on a single day, consolidated JPMorgan ranks second, with a peak borrowing of $101.1 billion, almost four times the $28 billion post-bankruptcy borrowing of Lehman Brothers:
Borrowings During the Bear Stearns Crisis, March 14, 2008 to May 31, 2008
If we focus on the period from March 15 (one day prior to the JPMorgan Chase absorption of Bear Stearns) to May 31, 2008, the consolidated JPMorgan Chase ranks first and Bear Stearns, on a stand-alone basis, ranks second.
If one analyzes the maximum borrowings during the Bear Stearns crisis, March 15-May 31, 2008, JPMorgan-related entities rank 1, 2 and 3:
Borrowings from the Commercial Paper Funding Facility
There were no borrowings from the commercial paper funding facility by JPMorgan Chase, Bear Stearns, or Washington Mutual.
Implications of Funding Shortfall Data
JPMorgan Chase borrowed nearly four times more money, $101.1 billion on April 3, 2008, than the $28 billion withheld from Lehman Brothers until after Lehman declared bankruptcy. Sixth months later, JPMorgan borrowed a second peak of $67.5 billion on October 15, 2008, more than double what was refused to Lehman. Both before and after Lehman, JPMorgan suffered larger funding shortfalls than Lehman. Clearly, JPMorgan was too big to fail and Lehman was not.
Background on the Federal Reserve Data
A summary of the Federal Reserve programs that were put into place and summary statistics are available from the Federal Reserve at this web page:
http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/reform_transaction.htm
Today's blog focuses on one set of disclosures by the Federal Reserve: primary, secondary and other extensions of credit by the Fed. This includes direct, traditional borrowings from the Federal Reserve, the primary dealer credit facilities, and the asset backed commercial paper program described at the link above. These borrowings do not include commercial paper purchased under the Commercial Paper Funding Facility nor do they include the equity stakes taken by the U.S. government under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
Kamakura took the following steps to consolidate the primary, secondary and other extensions of credit:
From www.twitter.com/zerohedge Kamakura downloaded the daily reports, in PDF format, from the Federal Reserve on primary, secondary and other extensions of credit from February 8, 2008 until March 16, 2009, approximately 250 reports in total
Kamakura converted each report to spreadsheet form
These spreadsheets were aggregated into a single data base giving the origination date of the borrowing, the name of the borrower, the Federal Reserve District of the borrower, the nature of the borrowing (ABCP, PDCF, or normal), the maturity date of the borrowing, and (in the case of Primary Dealer Credit Facility) the name of the institution holding the collateral.
Consistency in naming conventions was imposed, i.e. while the Fed listed two firms as "Morgan Stanley" and "M S Co" Kamakura recognized to the maximum extent possible that they are the same institution and used a consistent name
To the maximum extent possible, the name of the ultimate parent was used in order to best understand the consolidated extension of credit by the Fed to that firm.

Please use the same e-mail address to contact the risk management experts at Kamakura regarding how to simulate realistic liquidity risk events in the Kamakura Risk Manager enterprise-wide risk management system.


Nestlé chairman Peter Brabeck has a history of courting controversy and is likely to further inflame his critics with his belief that man-made emissions are not the primary reason behind our changing climate.
While scientists point to the near certainty that human activity is driving up temperatures, Brabeck argues that it is largely down to Earth's natural cycles, and warns against trying to play god by seeking to stop global warming. Instead, he believes society should focus on adaptation.
"Climate change is an intrinsic part of the development of the world. Since the world has existed we have had climate changes and we will have climate change as long as the world exists ... For me the issue is more about what can we do in order to adapt to climate change and perhaps to try to gain more time … Are we God to say the climate, as it is today, is the one we have to keep? That's the way it's going to be? We are not God. What we have to assure is that climate change happens within a timeframe that humankind can adapt to."
Brabeck says that carbon emissions are a factor but are merely speeding up what is already a natural occurrence.
"If too much CO2 emission is accelerating climate change in a manner that will take away the possibility for us to adapt to it then we have a problem, but what I think is wrong to say is that we are going to stop climate change today," he says. "It's not the natural approach. What we have to get to grips with is the speed with which climate change is happening and to have the same speed for us to adapt to it."
One senior business leader who knows the Nestlé chairman well, claims he is a complex character whose views on climate do not sit easily with him playing a leading role in driving the issue of water scarcity up the global political agenda.
Chief executives from progressive companies, who focused their time at the World Economic Forum on seeking to build a common business platform ahead of the UN climate summit in September, will be unhappy to see Brabeck undermine their position. Brabeck's views are also not likely to be welcomed within Nestlé, given that global head of operations José Lopez has been working hard to build the company's reputation as a leader in emissions reduction.
One senior executive of Nestlé told me that Brabeck had no direct responsibility for the climate issue within Nestlé. He pointed to the Swiss multinational food and beverage company topping a league table of corporates who have made efforts to disclose and cut carbon emissions, published by the international NGO CDP.
While Brabeck will have stoked the debate on climate change, he also sought to dampen the controversy last year in which he was accused by some NGOs of arguing for the privatisation of water and claiming is not a human right.
Brabeck told me that campaigners "used an old video of 2005 of me and cut it down in the manner that it was most suitable to them. To say that I have said water is not a human right is the biggest lie I have heard. I have been fighting for water as a human right for hydration and hygiene since the beginning but I have always said this is 1.5% of the water that we are using. There is no doubt this is a human right and it is a right that has to be assured by governments. But this has nothing to do with the irresponsible usage of water of the other 98.5% of it."
Brabeck also defended Nestlé against accusations by Baby Milk Action that it contributes to the unnecessary death and suffering of infants around the world by aggressively marketing baby foods.
"We are the only infant formula producer which is part of FTSE4Good. We are being checked and controlled by FTSE4Good. They make their audits in different parts of the world and we have to prove that we are complying with the WHO code and up to now we can prove that in everything we are."
Brabeck was in Davos to chair the council meeting of the 2030 Water Resources Group (WRG), a cross-sector collaboration of business, government and civil society, which is seeking to find practical solutions to the crisis of water scarcity.
The success of early initiatives in countries such as South Africa and has led to a stream of governments approaching the WRG for advice and support, including Bangladesh, Kenya, Lebanon, Colombia, Panama and Lebanon.
Brabeck told me the issue of water has shot up the global political agenda because it is no longer a problem only of the future as many countries are already struggling to meet the demands of a growing population and an expanding economy.
"I have never seen so many presidents and ministers being interested to talk about water because they are constantly being confronted by the issue in their daily decisions," he said.
"The water issue is so complex that frankly speaking nobody can handle that alone. The food and energy safety of a country, as well as the wellbeing of its people depend on water.
"In most cases in government, the responsibility for water is split between 20 and 28 different ministers and agencies. So it needs to have a co-ordinated approach and the way the 2030 Water Resources Group can help is to establish a local private/public partnership which is coordinating all efforts to find and to elaborate a sustainable water strategy."
This is no easy matter, given so many organisations have their own individual initiatives, and there is a "natural human response to prefer to be the head of a mouse than the tail of an elephant".


Each channel of all Biometrics Ltd Goniometers and Torsiometers consist electrically of a Full Wheatstone Bridge arrangement. The passive half of the bridges are housed within the sensors fixed plastic endblock. This is electrically screened to aid signal to noise ratio. With all twin axis sensors the two bridges have one common. Referring to the table below note the difference in bridge input and output impedance. To prolong battery life the sensors may be energised with as little as +1.0 Vdc, though 1.5 to 2.0 Vdc is preferable.
Push the black socket of the interconnect cable onto the mating black plug of the goniometer, ensuring that the polarisation marks are aligned before insertion. The plug and socket are self latching and should NOT be separated by pulling on either cable. To separate hold the plastic body of the plug and socket in each hand and pull.
The free end of the interconnect cable has 4 coloured PVC coated conductors and a screen braid.
For all goniometers the maximum permissible d.c. supply voltage is 5.0 volts. Current 4mA / supply volt nominal.
Goniometer sensitivity: 10µv/degree angle/supply volt. If a goniometer is energised with 5 volts d.c. and bent through an angle of 100°, the differential output will be 0.005 volts.

Radio Yorkshire has today launched a new daytime line-up.
The DAB and online station, which has recently begun broadcasting in Leeds again, has given current daytime presenter Andy Lawson a new afternoon show in a fresh time slot of 2-6pm. Sport @ 6 presenter Danny Parkinson moves to Daytimes, 11am - 2pm while Good Morning Yorkshire, hosted by Darren Harper, remains in its 6:30am-10am slot.
Lawson said: "I'm utterly thrilled to be taking over the Afternoon Show on Radio Yorkshire! Most of my career has been spent on air at this time of day, and the idea of bringing a creative mix of fun to the airwaves in the afternoon really thrills me. Oh, and un-setting the early alarm on my phone is also going to feel great."
The new line-up follows the addition of broadcaster Martin Kelner to the Saturday line-up.
Kelner, who was sacked by BBC Radio Leeds in March, hosts Pre Match Tension between 10am and 1:30pm.
Director of broadcasting Sam Brydges said: "The reaction to Martin's show has been fantastic as we knew it would be. Andy Lawson moves into the slot he considers home and we can't wait to hear the new sound of afternoons. Listeners will enjoy Danny, he's great fun on air and is a passionate Yorkshireman."

Take an expedition through Indonesia with one of the most traveled surfers on the planet.
Asher Pacey has formulated a successful career as a freesurfer, carving out niches where others can't and doesn't fit comfortably into cliched surfing boxes. The resurgence of the twin fin can be attributed in part to surfers like Asher, who riff on them with swagger and grace. He also happens to be one of the most traveled surfers on the planet, sojourning to one tropical location after another while the likes of us look on with envy. Most recently he linked up with TRVL surf - a company that specialises in surf travel - where he surfed his way through Indonesia, taking in five islands in seven days as part of one of their expeditions.
"What an adventure it was ... personally it was one of my most memorable trips. We visited five islands in seven days, surfed some incredible waves, saw old friends and made many new ones along the way. We experienced everything from crowded surf spots that were not so long ago relatively empty to lineups void of the mass crowds, pristine and untouched. Although it was primarily a surf trip it was so much more than that. Towards the end of the week we took a detour off the coast deep into Central Java to visit Borobudur, a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist Temple in Magelang. It is believed to be the greatest Buddhist monument in the world. I felt incredibly fortunate to see the sun go down over its walls on a clear sky day and watch the full moon rise over volcano, Mount Merapi. The sights, sounds, smells, interactions and feelings that come with travel are forever priceless."
If you're planning your next surf adventure check out TRVL surf or give them a follow on Instagram and Facebook.


Faughs GAA Club » U10 hurling festival in TYMON Arena!
LUCAN & SKERRIES U10 teams were welcomed to FAUGHS for BLITZ Sat 9th June with about 75 players taking part across the three clubs. It was a fantastic morning's hurling matching the glorious weather, and the format maximised the games and the fun for all. The teams were mixed for the BLITZ, and it was very pleasing to see strong collective and individual performances across the matches and one could definitely see improvement in skill levels as the games progressed. The one Team squad that rotates travelled to SCOIL CHONAILL and performed equally well there. Well done to all in representing their club so admirably and participating in what were two great events.
Ted Duke, James Whitty & Jamie Sharpe at TYMON and Jack Moran at the away venue.

Patrick White, Castle Hill, Sydney
from the series 'From Face to Face'
gelatin silver photograph on paper (28.2 cm x 43.0 cm)
Patrick White (1912–1990), acknowledged as Australia's pre-eminent novelist of the 20th century, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1973 for The Eye of the Storm, which was said to have 'introduced a new continent into literature'. He established the Patrick White Award, an annual literary prize, with his Nobel Prize funds. Born in London to a family of Hunter River graziers, he spent his youth between England and Australia, at one point returning from study abroad to work as a jackaroo. At Kings College Cambridge he studied French and German languages and literature; the experience of the Australian landscape and European literature and thought were to become major influences in White's writing. After a spell as an intelligence officer in North Africa during the Second World War, he returned to Australian with his partner, Manoly Lascaris. The two men were partners for 50 years.
An outspoken commentator on various political, cultural and social issues, White was also a significant art collector. David Moore's photograph shows White with some of his collection in the home he and Lascaris shared at Castle Hill in north-west Sydney from 1948 until 1963.
The series 'David Moore: From Face to Face' was acquired as a gift of the artist and with financial assistance from Timothy Fairfax AC and L Gordon Darling AC CMG 2001

Q: Property within an array not being read by a function - Cannot read property of undefined I am having some trouble. I am working within Business Catalyst which stores dynamic user-submitted data and allows me to output it in whatever way I need.
I have created a series of Web Apps that work together to allow users to take quizzes. Currently I am receiving an error message 'Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'questionText' of undefined'
How my code is working currently:

*

*A user submits a form with quiz/survey data.

*They are directed to a new page that runs a search for the most recent quiz/survey submission unique to their user.

*The data is output on the page within a div.

*A function reads the data and builds the page content accordingly to display the correct quiz/survey results.

The data that is submitted is output in the following format. Note that the {tags} are Business Catalysts way of outputting dynamic information - the {tag} is replaced with the user-submitted data on the page. Also note that I have only shown the data for 3 questions, there are up to 15 in total.
var quizSurvey = "{tag_quiz/survey}";
    var w = window.innerWidth;

The Historical Dictionary of American Slang, often abbreviated HDAS, is a dictionary of American slang.  The first two volumes, Volume 1, A – G (1994), and Volume 2, H – O (1997), were published by Random House, and the work then was known as the Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang, sometimes abbreviated as RHHDAS.  Both volumes used the same ISBN, ; the paperback editions are  for Volume 1 and  for Volume 2.

Background
When Random House discontinued publication, Oxford University Press announced in 2003 that it would publish the two remaining volumes, Volume 3, P – S [Part 1], , and Volume 4, S [Part 2] – Z.  As of 2020, however, those volumes have not yet been published.

Each entry includes representative quotations, including the earliest quotation using the word.  HDAS is edited by Jonathan E. Lighter of the University of Tennessee.  It is sometimes compared to Green's Dictionary of Slang, which takes a generally similar approach but is not focused specifically on American slang.

The HDAS is not to be confused with the DAS, the Dictionary of American Slang (1975).
