They are often written using Knuth's up-arrow notation.
Natural number level hyperoperations can be defined recursively as a piecewise function:
"Marry the Night" is the fifth and final single off Lady Gaga's second studio record Born This Way.

A premise is a statement which an argument claims will justify a conclusion.
The proof of a conclusion depends on both the truth of the premises and the validity of the argument.
Aristotelian logic
Aristotle held that any logical argument could be reduced to three premises and a conclusion.
Premises are sometimes left unstated in which case they are called missing premises, for example:
Socrates is mortal, since all men are mortal.
It is understood that Socrates is a man.
The fully expressed reasoning is thus:
Since all men are mortal and Socrates is a man, Socrates is mortal.
In logic, an argument requires a set of two declarative sentences (or "propositions") known as the premises, with another declarative sentence (or "proposition") known as the conclusion.
This structure of two premises and one conclusion forms the basic argumentative structure.
More complex arguments can use a series of rules to connect several premises to one conclusion, or to derive a number of conclusions from the original premises.
An example of this is the use of the rules of inference found within symbolic logic.
Simone Pepe (born 30 August 1983) is an Italian footballer who plays for Serie A club Juventus.
A quill pen is a tool used for writing, made from a flight feather of a large bird.
Quills were used for writing with ink before other pens were invented.
They are still used in calligraphy sometimes.
Today, most paper is made from wood plulp.
Such papers use the quill rather rapidly.
The hollow shaft of the feather (the calamus) acts as an ink reservoir and ink flows to the tip by capillary action.

The people who are hunting for the missing money believe the investment operation may never have been legitimate.
The amount missing from client accounts, including fabricated gains, was almost $65 billion.
The court-appointed trustee estimated actual losses to investors of $18 billion.
On June 29, 2009, he was sentenced to 150 years in prison, the maximum allowed.

William Perry "Bill" Clements, Jr. (April 13, 1917 – May 29, 2011) was the 42nd and 44th Governor of Texas, serving from 1979 to 1983 and 1987 to 1991.
Clements was the first Republican to have served as governor of the U.S. state of Texas since Reconstruction.
Clements' eight years in office were the most served by any Texan governor prior to former Governor Rick Perry.
Clements was born in Dallas and worked as an oil driller for many years.
He studied at Southern Methodist University (SMU) but did not finish a degree.
He founded SEDCO in 1947, which became the world's largest offshore drilling company.
He entered politics as the United States Deputy Secretary of Defense under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.
From 1975-1977 he worked under Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
On January 16, 1979, Clements replaced Democrat Dolph Briscoe as governor of Texas.
He defeated State Representative Ray Hutchison in the Republican primary by a vote of 115,345 to 38,268.
Clements won the November 1978 general election defeating Democrat John Hill.
Hill had been the Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court and had been the Texas Attorney General for six years.
Clements got 49.96% of the votes.
With help from the votes of several minor candidates he narrowly won the election.
Clements ran for reelection in 1982 but was defeated by Democratic Attorney General Mark White.
People think that he lost votes because the economy was bad.
The 1986 return
After being defeated, Clements was chairman of the board of governors of SMU in Dallas.
He ran again in 1986 and won a primary against U.S. Representative Thomas Loeffler of New Braunfels and former Democratic turned Republican Congressman Kent Hance of Lubbock.
At the election Clements defeated Governor White getting 52.7% of the votes.
Clements as governor
His first term was marked by SEDCO's involvement in the then largest oil blowout in history, the Ixtoc I oil spill, which caused extensive environmental damage.
Charlie Brooks, Jr., became the first prisoner to be executed by lethal injection (December 1982).
Clements faced heavily Democratic state legislatures.
In 1980, Clements changed the death penalty for Randall Dale Adams to life in prison.
Adams was the subject of The Thin Blue Line, an Errol Morris documentary movie.
Adams was found to be innocent in 1989 after serving twelve years in prison.
During his second term, Clements worked to reduce crime, improve education,  and boost the Texas economy.
He tried to improve relations with Mexico, especially on immigration and the War on Drugs.
Football scandal
Clements's second term was hurt by actions he took at SMU.
On March 3, 1987, Clements admitted that he and the SMU board of governors had approved a secret plan to pay 13 college football players using money from an alumnus.
The NCAA shut down the SMU football program for the 1987 season.
They did not have a team in 1988 as well.
The shutdown and other sanctions hurt the team for many years.
The College of Bishops of the United Methodist Church investigated the scandal.
The discovered Clements had met with athletic director Bob Hitch, and agreed that the payments had to continue.
In late 1985 then SMU President L. Donald Shields and board of trustees chairman Edwin L. Cox wanted to stop the payments completely.
Clements told President Shields to "stay out of it" and to "go run the university".
A week later, Clements said he was sorry that he kept making the payments.
He said the he had learned about the payments in 1984, and discovered that players had been paid since the mid-1970s.
The board "reluctantly and uncomfortably" decided to continue paying players who had already been guaranteed payments.
However, he now knows that they should have stopped the payments immediately.
Clements faced calls for his impeachment as a result of these statements.
Two state legislators argued that he would have never been elected Governor had told the truth about his role in the scandal.
Because of this, Clements did not run for a third term as governor.
On January 15, 1991, Democratic state Treasurer Ann Richards replaced him.
Post-political life
After leaving the governorship, Clements worked hard to help Republican candidates seeking office in Texas.
He lived in Dallas with his second wife, Rita Crocker.
She was later appointed to the University of Texas Regents by Governor George W. Bush.
Clements was known for his acerbic, energetic personality, which Democrats hated but Republicans loved.
In 1993, he unsuccessfully supported the conservative Congressman Joe Barton in a special election for the U.S. Senate.
In 2006, Clements raised money for U.S. Senator John McCain to run for President.
In June 2009, Clements donated $100 million to UT Southwestern Medical Center, the largest civic donation in Dallas history.
A high school in Sugar Land, Texas and a state office building in Austin, Texas are named in honor of Clements.

Tidal stream power is electricity made from the tidal movement of water.
A tidal stream generator is a machine that extracts energy from moving water in tides.
Tidal stream generators draw energy from water currents in much the same way as wind turbines draw energy from air currents.
Tidal stream power is a relatively new technology.
It was first conceived in the 1970s during the oil crisis.
The potential for power generation by an individual tidal turbine can be greater than that of similarly rated wind energy turbine.
Water is about 800 times the density of air.
So, water pushing against a turbine can provide much more power than air pushing against a similar turbine at the same speed.
Also, the lowest water speeds needed for an economic power project is lower than the wind speed needed for a wind turbine project.
In practice, the tide must move at speeds of at least 2 knots (1 m/s) even close to neap tides to be a source of power.
As with wind power, selection of location is critical for the tidal turbine.
Tidal stream systems need to be located in areas with fast currents where natural flows are concentrated between obstructions, for example at the entrances to bays and rivers, around rocky points, headlands, or between islands or other land masses.
The main concern has been whether the turbines kill fish.
Very little direct environmental research or observation of tidal stream systems exists.
Most direct observations consist of releasing tagged fish upstream of the device(s) and direct observation of mortality or impact on the fish.
One study of the Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE, Verdant Power) project in the East River (New York City), utilized 24 split beam hydroacoustic sensors (scientific echosounder) to detect and track the movement of fish both upstream and downstream of each of six turbines.
The results suggested (1) very few fish using this portion of the river, (2) those fish which did use this area were not using the portion of the river which would subject them to blade strikes, and (3) no evidence of fish traveling through blade areas.

The Irish Parliamentary Party was a nationalist political party in Ireland.
The Party wanted Ireland to be able to govern itself, instead of being governed by the United Kingdom.
The Party was created in the nineteenth century by Isaac Butt.
Its most famous leader was Charles Stewart Parnell.
In 1886, the Party helped convince British Prime Minister, William Gladstone, to announce a Home Rule bill.
The bill would make Ireland leave the United Kingdom.
Ireland would become a British colony which could govern itself.
Ireland would have its own parliament, instead of having representatives in the British Parliament.
The bill did not get passed.
Other Home rule bills were presented later on.
They were different from the original because they would have kept Ireland's representation in the British Parliament (instead of giving Ireland its own parliament).
None of these bills succeeded.
One was passed in 1914, but it was canceled because of the First World War.
Another was enacted in 1920, but it failed because of Irish rebellion.
It was replaced by an independent Irish Free State, which included most of the island.
A Home Ruled Northern Ireland was also created in six counties of Ulster that stayed in the United Kingdom.
