According to R. J. Rummel, genocide has 3 different meanings. The ordinary meaning is murder by government of people due to their national, ethnic, racial, or religious group membership. The legal meaning of genocide refers to the international treaty, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This also includes non-killings that in the end eliminate the group, such as preventing births or forcibly transferring children out of the group to another group. A generalized meaning of genocide is similar to the ordinary meaning but also includes government killings of political opponents or otherwise intentional murder. It is to avoid confusion regarding what meaning is intended that Rummel created the term democide for the third meaning.


The Occupy Wall Street protests in Zuccotti Park in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan began on September 17, 2011, receiving global attention and spawning the Occupy movement against social and economic inequality worldwide.


The potential solar energy that could be used by humans differs from the amount of solar energy present near the surface of the planet because factors such as geography, time variation, cloud cover, and the land available to humans limits the amount of solar energy that we can acquire.


Over 230 works of Chopin survive; some compositions from early childhood have been lost. All his known works involve the piano, and only a few range beyond solo piano music, as either piano concertos, songs or chamber music.

dr. goldberg offers everything i look for in a general practitioner.  he's nice and easy to talk to without being patronizing; he's always on time in seeing his patients; he's affiliated with a top-notch hospital (nyu) which my parents have explained to me is very important in case something happens and you need surgery; and you can get referrals to see specialists without having to see him first.  really, what more do you need?  i'm sitting here trying to think of any complaints i have about him, but i'm really drawing a blank.


Unfortunately, the frustration of being Dr. Goldberg's patient is a repeat of the experience I've had with so many other doctors in NYC -- good doctor, terrible staff.  It seems that his staff simply never answers the phone.  It usually takes 2 hours of repeated calling to get an answer.  Who has time for that or wants to deal with it?  I have run into this problem with many other doctors and I just don't get it.  You have office workers, you have patients with medical needs, why isn't anyone answering the phone?  It's incomprehensible and not work the aggravation.  It's with regret that I feel that I have to give Dr. Goldberg 2 stars.


Been going to Dr. Goldberg for over 10 years. I think I was one of his 1st patients when he started at MHMG. He's been great over the years and is really all about the big picture. It is because of him, not my now former gyn Dr. Markoff, that I found out I have fibroids. He explores all options with you and is very patient and understanding. He doesn't judge and asks all the right questions. Very thorough and wants to be kept in the loop on every aspect of your medical health and your life.


Got a letter in the mail last week that said Dr. Goldberg is moving to Arizona to take a new position there in June.  He will be missed very much.  \n\nI think finding a new doctor in NYC that you actually like might almost be as awful as trying to find a date!


I don't know what Dr. Goldberg was like before  moving to Arizona, but let me tell you, STAY AWAY from this doctor and this office. I was going to Dr. Johnson before he left and Goldberg took over when Johnson left. He is not a caring doctor. He is only interested in the co-pay and having you come in for medication refills every month. He will not give refills and could less about patients's financial situations. Trying to get your 90 days mail away pharmacy prescriptions through this guy is a joke. And to make matters even worse, his office staff is incompetent. 90% of the time when you call the office, they'll put you through to a voice mail, that NO ONE ever answers or returns your call. Both my adult children and husband have decided to leave this practice after experiencing such frustration. The entire office has an attitude like they are doing you a favor. Give me a break! Stay away from this doc and the practice. You deserve better and they will not be there when you really need them. I have never felt compelled to write a bad review about anyone until I met this pathetic excuse for a doctor who is all about the money.


Top notch doctor in a top notch practice. Can't say I am surprised when I was referred to him by another doctor who I think is wonderful and because he went to one of the best medical schools in the country. \nIt is really easy to get an appointment. There is minimal wait to be seen and his bedside manner is great.


Dr. Eric Goldberg is a fantastic doctor who has correctly diagnosed every issue that my wife and I have had. Unlike many of my past doctors, Dr. Goldberg is very accessible and we have been able to schedule appointments with him and his staff very quickly. We are happy to have him in the neighborhood and look forward to being his patients for many years to come.


I'm writing this review to give you a heads up before you see this Doctor. The office staff and administration are very unprofessional. I left a message with multiple people regarding my bill, and no one ever called me back. I had to hound them to get an answer about my bill. \n\nSecond, and most important, make sure your insurance is going to cover Dr. Goldberg's visits and blood work. He recommended to me that I get a physical, and he knew I was a student because I told him. I got the physical done. Later, I found out my health insurance doesn't pay for preventative visits. I received an $800.00 bill for the blood work. I can't pay for my bill because I'm a student and don't have any cash flow at this current time. I can't believe the Doctor wouldn't give me a heads up to make sure my insurance would cover work that wasn't necessary and was strictly preventative. The office can't do anything to help me cover the bill. In addition, the office staff said the onus is on me to make sure my insurance covers visits. Frustrating situation!


Wing sauce is like water. Pretty much a lot of butter and some hot sauce (franks red hot maybe).  The whole wings are good size and crispy, but for $1 a wing the sauce could be better. The hot and extra hot are about the same flavor/heat.  The fish sandwich is good and is a large portion, sides are decent.


Decent range somewhat close to the city.  The mats are pretty solid; however, the grass range needs to be tended too.  It's like hitting out of US Open type rough...not very amenable to practicing.  Which kind of defeats the purpose of going to a golf range...Still gets 3 stars because the range is lit up at night which is excellent for those of us who are addicted to this amazing game, but are somewhat short on time (having a job kinda sucks sometimes, no?).

in the early days of the h1n1 pandemic when there was uncertainty about the infectivity and virulence of the new virus a more precautionary approach to management was advocated this included laboratory testing of suspected cases contact tracing isolation of cases and contacts antiviral medication for treatment and prophylaxis and clinical surveillance and followup


in this short case report we describe the personal experience and management of the first case of h1n1 reported in the united arab emirates uae


the patient was a 48 yearold male academic public health physician who had just returned to the middle east after


wwweshaworg spending a week with his family in saskatoon in canada his journey to the uae was via calgary and heathrow airport in london uk he started feeling lethargic and developed a sore throat with cough and high fever for around 10 hours since the night of his arrival in dubai uae this led him to consult the onduty infectious disease consultant at the emergency department of a local hospital at around 800 am the following day


the consultation included a discussion of any possible exposure to h1n1 since canada was recognized then as experiencing a large number of cases of the infection a combined influenza ab antigen screen on a nasopharyngeal swab was positive and an additional swab and a blood sample were then sent for further confirmatory testing he was prescribed oseltamivir 75 mg orally twice daily for five days azithromycin 500 mg daily and paracetamol 500 mg three times daily for three days and advised to remain at home until the confirmatory test results were available


by the next morning the patients fever and sore throat had subsided and he was feeling better despite the very low but nevertheless real risk of having swine flu the patient had to make some important difficult decisions regarding his state of health and his work deadlines his work place was a university campus and as he had no lectures that day he had no need to be in contact with any students all scheduled appointments on his calendar for the day were cancelled but he decided to proceed with a tenminute scheduled presentation to six of his peers regarding a large research grant proposal a mask was not worn during the presentation and he returned home immediately after the event the patient was alone at home but one of his relatives came to visit him unannounced accompanied by his wife and a ten year old child from a neighboring town they stayed at his home for that night as the distance for return travel was considerable


on the next day the patient received a call from the health authority confirming influenza a h1n1 infection and he was therefore in the unenviable although historical position of being the first reported case of h1n1 infection in the uae the patient was admitted to hospital with airborne and contact isolation where he completed the rest of the maximum recommended 10 days quarantine period the visiting couple and child also had to stay at the patients home for 10 days of quarantine and all also received prophylactic medicine oseltamivir no lab tests were advised


as a public health physician the index case had considered the h1n1 situation before commencing his travels to canada at that time may 8 2009 the world health organization who did not recommend restricting travel although some individual national authorities were advising against nonessential travel the advice on the various websites seemed very pragmatic observe basic hygiene handwashing and cough etiquette do not travel when ill and seek medical advice if you become ill after your return the patients route to canada took him through london 34 cases reported in the uk at that time and toronto 15 cases in ontario to saskatoon 2 cases by the time he was due to return to the uae from saskatoon via calgary the number of cases in canada had increased from 242 to 496 with 19 in saskatchewan and 67 in alberta during his stay in saskatoon he did not recall meeting anyone with respiratory symptoms and he was quite well on his journey back to dubai he was therefore not certain where and from whom he caught the infection

The Human Y-Chromosome - Introduction into Genetics and Applications.

Human Y-chromosomal DNA analysis is becoming well established in forensic sciences.

That is because human Y-chromosomal DNA polymorphisms are the only genetic markers that are able to specifically characterize and identify male culprit DNA in material from sexual assault or forcible rape cases where offenders are almost always males.

Appropriate Y-chromosomal DNA markers evaluated for forensic applications with standardized nomenclature, typing and statistic methodology, and haplotype frequency databases are currently available to the forensic DNA community.

As with any other kind of DNA evidence, the Y-chromosomal DNA analysis in forensic science requires not only a high standard of quality assurance but also appropriate scientific background knowledge to ensure correct interpretation of DNA profiles.

The following overview article will provide an introduction to the molecular genetics of the human Y-chromosome and will discuss the advantages that Y-chromosomal DNA polymorphisms can offer to forensic applications, as well as the limitations to the types of information provided by the human Y-chromosome.


Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute gangrenous cholecystitis.

Treatment of severe acute cholecystitis by laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains controversial because of technical difficulties and high rates of complications and conversion to open cholecystectomy.

We investigated whether early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is appropriate for acute gangrenous cholecystitis.

Pathologic diagnoses and outcomes were analyzed in patients who underwent laparoscopic or open cholecystectomy at our hospital, January 2002 to September 2005.

Of 30 patients with acute gangrenous cholecystitis, 16 underwent early laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 10 underwent open cholecystectomy, and 4 were converted to open cholecystectomy (conversion rate, 20.0%).

There was no significant difference in operation time or intraoperative bleeding.

The requirement for postoperative analgesics was significantly lower (6.4+/-7.3 vs. 1.5+/-1.2 doses, P<0.05) and hospital stay significantly shorter (8.6+/-2.1 vs. 15.6+/-6.3 d, P<0.01) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

There were no postoperative complications in either group.

Thus, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy seems appropriate for acute gangrenous cholecystitis.

Conversion to open cholecystectomy may be required in difficult cases with complications.


[Expression of C3 epitope of poliovirus and a ten-peptides epitope of C-myc on the surface of recombinant bacteria].

To confirm the possibility of pCSB136 and pCSX72 as vectors for displaying heterologous epitopes, the gene fragments coding for C3 epitope of poliovirus and a ten-peptides epitope of C-myc were synthesized and inserted into pCSB136 and pCSX72 respectively.

The recombinants were screened by whole-strain PCR.

The expression of recombinant proteins were detected by whole-cell ELISA and electronic microscopy.

The results indicated the recombinant proteins were expressed as hybrid fimbriae, and the antigenicity of both CS3 and inserted epitopes kept.

All results above showed vectors pCSB136 and pCSX72 could be used to display the foreign epitopes.


Q:

Faster binary search to find the index in Python?

I am implementing a binary search algorithm and my code is as shown bellow:
def binary_search(a, x):
    left, right = 0, len(a)
    if right == 0: return -1
    if x < a[0] or x > a[-1]:
        return -1
    elif x == a[0]:
        return 0
    elif x == a[-1]:
        return right - 1
    mid = right // 2
    a_mid = a[mid]
    if x == a_mid:
        return mid
    elif x < a_mid:
        return binary_search(a[left:mid], x)
    elif x > a_mid:
        idx = binary_search(a[mid+1:right], x)
        if idx == -1:
            return -1
        else:
            return mid + 1 + idx

I tested it and cannot find any way to improve it by complexity.

Someone suggested that I may "have used an incorrect base condition to terminate your loop" but I still cannot figure out where the problem lies.

A:

I can see the problem with your code.

You can try below code
def binarySearch(arr, low, high, key):
    if high >= low:
        mid = (high + low) // 2
        if arr[mid] == key:
            return mid
        elif arr[mid] > key:
            return binarySearch(arr, low, mid - 1, key)
        else:
            return binarySearch(arr, mid + 1, high, key)
    else:
        return -1

Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an integrated circuit which provides a reliability-testing function such as a burn-in operation.

Description of the Related Art
The inventors of the present invention know that a burn-in test of an integrated circuit is performed in order to selectively remove an initial defective circuit item after manufacture.

The inventors know an integrated circuit test which is intended to bring the integrated circuit into a predetermined operating state and to make an unstable component of the integrated circuit obvious for removal in intensified conditions.

This test thus makes a contribution to enhancing the reliability of the integrated circuit.

For the above-mentioned test, it is requested that the integrated circuit is connected to not only a d.c. (

direct current) power supply but also a start signal source and a clock signal source, as well.

power supply is applied between a V.sub.

DD terminal and a GND (Ground) terminal.

A start signal of the start signal source is applied between a start input terminal and the GND terminal.

A clock signal of the clock signal source is applied between a clock input terminal and the GND terminal.

By providing the start signal, the integrated circuit operates in a predetermined manner as being synchronized with the clock signal.

When performing the burn-in test, in response to a test signal supplied to a start signal source, the integrated circuit is allowed to iteratively perform a series of predetermined testing operations.

The integrated circuit provides lots of I/O (input/output) terminals including the terminals mentioned above.

A testing signal may be often applied to the other terminals except them.

Further, such a burn-in test is required to be performed about a relatively large number of integrated circuit items at a time.

It means that the start signal source and the clock signal source have to supply signals to a large number of integrated circuits at a time.

In a case that another input signal is needed, it is necessary to provide another signal source.

In the known burn-in test for an integrated circuit, as mentioned above, several kinds of signals are required to be supplied to the input terminals provided in the integrated circuit.

When performing the burn-in test, since the test is conditioned at a high temperature and for a constant time, the integrated circuit is accommodated in a thermostatic chamber.

power supply and the other signal sources are located out of the thermostatic chamber so that those sources may be connected to the integrated circuit through conductive lines.

For connecting the integrated circuit to those conductive lines leading to sources, it is necessary to take a very troublesome operation.

just a question by multifics123


pain

It may be sad but it can be better

The yellow sun glistening on my face

And the beautiful clouds above me

Still it hurts me

Burning my skin and bones

Is it pain I do not know I know that it hurts

Hurts more than mom leaving us

Hurts more than grandmas beatings

But does it hurt that much to compare this feeling to the guilt

Does it I may never know it does not hurt more than being hungry

It does not hurt more than drinking the diseases that killed my mom

My problems aren't that big think about this it is pain

It's the good pain

Zombie Mayhem

Zombie Mayhem

In 2050, the military was testing out a new experiment on a monkey when the experiment suddenly went wrong. Then monkey escaped and spread viruses that he contained. It turned out that the viruses had started to turn people into zombies. Now here's where my story starts. I was sitting at home watching a movie when my neighbour came knocking on my door, asking if he could come visit. So I said alright and we watched movies and ate take-out. Later on he fell asleep on my couch, so I decided to leave him there and went to my bedroon colapsing against the pellows, falling asleep.

When I woke up in the morning he was standing at the end of my bed with blood dripping down his chin and staining his clothes. I went running out my bedroom door and he chased me though my house and I grabbed a chair to beat him down with it. Then I opened up the front door to run out the house but there were zombies that were trying to get in. So I closed the door and then ran to the back door where my car was parked. Looking out, I saw that there were no zombies so I ran back in the house and grabbed my car keys. Then I ran out the back door and started my car.

The zombies heard my car start and they came running to the back. I put my car in reverse and sped down the alley. Then my car made a loud beeping sound. I didn't know what it meant so I started to slow down. Then I realised that I was really low on fuel. So I found the nearest gas station and filled up with fuel. Some zombies came running up and I hopped in my car as fast as I could I drove away. I saw a big tank rolling down the street and pulled to the side of the rood and they must have realised I was human because they stopped too. The top of the tank opened and the soldier inside said "Follow us where there are no zombies."

So I followed them and they lead me to a big mountain that we drove up on. When we got to the top there was a big metal wall that opened when the soldier yelled some kind of command. When we were driving past the wall I realised that the wall was 2 metres thick. There were lots of people that weren't infected by the virus. They gave me a small house that had all the things we needed. Like a stove and other necessisary needs.

It was late at night when we heard a big siren go off. Then there was a loud explosion and a couple soldiers came knocking on my door and said that the explosion meant that they wiped out all the zombies. The loud siren went off again, this time the siren meant that the big metal gate was opening. All that we saw was a whole bunch of dust and there was no grass or any thing on the ground. so every one who didn't have a car got to leave first, then the people that did have cars went and started them up and left behind the people that were walking to go to their houses. When I got to where my house was standing, there was nothing left but the floor. my whole house was wiped right out. Same with everyone else's. We all started all over again. We all helped each other out in food wise and all the other thing's like clothing. The military also helped out with finding materials like wood to build houses again.

THE END

Zero Wing 2: AYBASBTU Game Script by Rodrigo Shin


Not prosaic

Disclaimer, I do not claim to own Zero Wing, and I'm not making any money off this.

An "All your base" fic.

Author's note: I thought the juxaposition of flowery text and disjointed narration would be amusing. So, here goes.

---

The star swept sheet of black, pieced with bright pinpoints of light, distant nuclear furnaces roaring silent into the emptiness around them.

"2101, war was beginning"

Set against this backdrop of the galaxy's majesty, a russet vessel soars, soundless, luminous, proud, a massive edifice proclaiming the triumph of humans reaching beyond the bounds of Earth. Then suddenly, one final attack strikes it from the sky. The starship crumbles, spilling fire into the empty reaches.

We are presented with a scene of the still active innards of the ship. In these dark reaches, strung with cables like great arteries of the ship, is the crew. Valiant, noble, and now frantic in their desperate bid to save their ship, men scramble to salvage whispers of functionality from their stricken vessel.

Amidst the confusion the captain sits momentarily alone, finding a brief eddy of calm, surrounded by chaos and anguish. He is facing the deciding test of his life, his ship struck down like an unfavoured plaything of a fickle god. And he is stunned into disbelief at his defeat.

"What happen?"

His answer is swift, coming from a subordinate, a brave man, not lesser in his sense of duty towards the crew and ship, despite his lesser station. It is the cry of a twin soul, filled with like anguish to the captain's distraught question.

"Someone set up us the bomb."

The chaos gains pause, silence before a lightning strike. Each of the crew hears, and knows it can mean only one thing. Death is breathing down each of their necks.

"Main screen turn-on."

A dark figure leaps into the air, dominating the screen with evil presence. The face of that figure is smooth, handsome, and deadly. A face that is only half human. A face which the captain knows well.

His heart freezes in fear even as his mind sings rage. This face means inevitability, and a deep sense of frustration and sorrow grip the Captain to his core. The resultant mix of emotion makes his stomach roil. He puts all of his fervor into but a few words, a cry filled with emotions running from the deep waters of the Captain's soul.

"It's you!!"

This elicits no more than a smirk. The Captain's life is but a toy to this avenging demon.

"How are you gentlemen?" CATS purrs in a calm cultured voice, arrogant in his victory. His eyes are cold, glittering with malevolent delight at the Captain's desperation. One can almost see how he looks down upon all he surveys, like a malicious child pulling wings off flies.

"You are on the way to destruction."

"You have no chance to survive, make your time."

Evil laughter rings through the ship, mocking its very existence.

The Captain's soul goes cold. His ship and crew will be destroyed, and he himself will die. The belief crystalises in him like ice, freezing him in place. But the faint voice of his courage whispers 'there is more to do yet'. Snarling in defiance, his sudden burst of strength fueling his next words. He is still Captain of this ship, and he will not take defeat meekly!

"Take off every zig." His warriors are the best this side of Sun shadow and they will not go down without pouring napalm into the belly of the enemies' forces.

"For great justice."

A final exclamation of defiance. A final declaration, imploring mercy upon his soul for the life that brought him to here.

With that all is over. The Captain watches the sleek star fighters fall away from the main ship, knowing that he is not long for this world. Sighing and closing his eyes, he relaxes his fierce will, offering his soul up into death. When it comes, it is swift. A final explosion that tears the ship apart in an instant, and the Captain's story falls silent, like the endless black space that embraces his mortal remains.

That embraces the mortal remains of his crew.

And now we focus upon a single ship. It's pilot is shaking with adrenaline and fear. But stronger than fear, stronger than steel, stronger than any force lying in the way, this fighter's courage blazes across the heavens. Power surges through your control pad, placing the life of this one remaining fighter into your hands. And his thoughts blaze stark and clear in your mind, as though you are the god hearing his prayer.

I will not be defeated.

This has just begun.

GUIDE ME TO VICTORY!!

---- Very dramatised isn't it? But it really makes me want to play Zero Wing.

And that is how you should feel when you're starting a game of Zero Wing. That is the feeling that game programmers try to give you with their games. They are telling a story through a specialised media. It's not just about pixels and parameters and trying to beat the system. It's also about playing a character, being the hero, bringing yourself into the action and playing till the end to see the story and defeat that bad guy you really don't like.

Computer games to me are as legitimate a form of artistic expression as drawing or writing is. Indeed, I have seen some beautiful pieces of art and writing in the games I've played. Games are no more for kids than books are. They're for anyone who has the kind of imagination suited to them. Unfortunately they're not taken very seriously most of the time.

Nightmares

A/N-Just a quick one-shot

Disclaimer: I don't own Zoom and I am not making a profit off of this.

I couldn't believe it, after thirty long years of being trapped in that vortex. Having to claw my way out, I was now reinstated into the Zenith program. I was extremely happy, especially because of how readily everyone accepted me into the group. I was also very happy to finally see my brother, Jackie. He had definitely changed, but then again thirty years does that. After Jackie and I walked over to the others we flew back to base, where I took a shower then went to my room to sleep. And wow, was that shower heavenly. It was bliss against my stiff muscles. So now I was just lying awake in my bed thinking of everything that had happened today. I honestly couldn't see how Jackie, or anyone else for that matter, could accept me so quickly. I mean, I was a murderer, I had killed the other Zenith members, tried to kill Jackie, and nearly killed that little girl; what was her name, oh ya, Cindy.

I wanted to keep thinking about all that had happened but I was exhausted. Clawing your way back to Earth from a vortex did that to you. I was quickly asleep; unfortunately that sleep was anything but peaceful.

_"It's perfectly safe, now sit down!" Grant nearly shouted, frustrated that I wasn't very willing to do what he wanted._

_I wasn't so sure if it was a good idea to be bombarded with radiation. But everyone else had done it so it seemed it was my turn . I walked forward slowly and sat down in the chair while Grant and Larraby started flipping switches to turn it on. Soon it was on and ready to bombard me with radiation._

_"Hold still, this might hurt." Grant warned me._

_"Wait, wha-" I never got to finish what I was saying for at that moment Grant let the machine hit me with its radiation, and I was soon screaming in pain._

_It felt like thousands of white-hot knifes were being stabbed into my skin. Next thing I knew everything was going black, and I was soon unconscious._

_The radiation was changing my morals, I could feel it. Something had gone wrong with the radiation, I was sure it wasn't suppose to do this. I wasn't sure what was right or wrong anymore, everything seemed to be blurring together. So I went to the one person I knew I could count on, Jackie._

_"Jack, I need to talk to you." I informed Jackie deciding not to use my nickname for him._

_"Not now Connor, I'm busy, don't you see." Jackie said angrily and letting out a sigh._

_"But, Jack, this is important." I tried to get my brother to listen._

_"If it doesn't have to do with are crazy supervillian enemies, then I. DON'T. CARE." Jackie said, putting emphasis on the last three words._

_I couldn't help the sadness that was bubbling up in me, my own brother wasn't even willing to listen to what I had to say. So with my head bowed slightly I left him alone. He never saw the tear run down my face._

_My own brother. My own brother had sent me to this nothingness. This vortex. HE hadn't helped me when he had the chance. Yes I killed the rest of the team but I had no control, this stupid radiation did. I would never want to hurt my brother. But he obviously didn't have the same feelings, instead of helping me he sent to this vortex where I was trapped. No one was here, I was completely alone. My brother had betrayed me, and he would pay. I soon as I got out of this vortex I would make sure he payed for this. I then began to claw my way out of this vortex._

_I was back. I was back. And my brother was here to. I couldn't believe, after thirty years of wishing him dead I would finally get my revenge. The pathetic thing was he had no powers and only children to try and fight me. Now this would be easy._

These images played over and over in my mind till I was ejected from them, screaming. Next thing I new I was getting pulled against my brother's chest.

"Shh. It's alright Connor. You're safe now, everything will be alright." Jackie whispered soothingly to me.

"J-Jackie." I whimper brokingly.

"Ya Connor, it's me, it's okay." he whispers to me.

After a couple minutes I managed to calm down for the most part and Jackie pulled away till we were arms length apart.

"Nightmares?" Jackie asks me. All I can do is nod back as a response, not trusting my voice.

"What were they about?" Jackie asks me, like he doesn't know.

I have to suppress my snort, he knows what they were about and was just trying to get me to talk, well he wins I guess. "They were about everything that happened the past thirty years." I whisper so low Jackie has to strain to hear me.

"Ah, Connor, you're safe now, none of that stuff matters anymore." Jackie comforts me.

"Really?" I ask, unsure whether or not to believe him.

"Ya, this is a new family and I know you wouldn't have done all those things if it wasn't for the Gamma 13." Jackie explains to me.

I still wish none of that stuff had happened." I say looking down at the ground.

Gamma 13 had ruined my life. I had killed the other team members and had nearly killed my little brother. Then got sent to some vortex, alone, for thirty years. Gamma 3 had ruined everything. I didn't even know who my brother was anymore.

Jackie sighs "I know, and maybe it never would have if I had listened to you, you tried to tell me what was going on and I didn't listen, for that I'm sorry." He apologizes.

I look up smirking a little "You know you aren't very good at being sentimental." I tease him.

"Oh shut up." he says, but he is smiling, and so am I. "You should probably go back to bed, long day tomorrow."

I nod and watch as my brother takes his leave, who knows maybe things will get better. I fall back asleep and have no more nightmares for the rest of the night

Nightmares by HuntressBiancadiAngelo


1. Chapter 1

The name that haunted Grant since Concussion going insane ten years ago. Squirt, the younger sister of the two brothers. No one knew what happened to her, her body wasn't found, but she didn't show her face after Concussion attacked her. She was six, and never left her brother's side. The thing that worried Grant the most was the fact that she had been pumped up with Gamma Rays. Now that he was coming back, they wondered about her. What was going on in her life?

* * *

A red headed girl rushed down the stairs at her house. She nearly crashed into her brother who was two years older than her. Jack Shepard had taken care of her since their parent's death when she was an infant. She only knew him as a parent. She had been raised by the Zenith team, but she hadn't seen anyone from there for ten years now. Jack smiled, "Whoa there Lyl, you wouldn't want to knock over your big brother on your first day of Sophomore year, now would you?" She smiled and hugged him, "No, but I would give him a bear hug." They hugged and Jack went to his garage downtown. She knew he'd eat there, and so she ate breakfast and went to school.

She walked home from school with one of her friends who was very funny. Then Lyl noticed the time, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe it, I gotta get home. It's almost time to start dinner! Bye Kate!" She ran at a normal pace, knowing that she could run MUCH faster. Over the years she had fine tuned her skills, so she was powerful. She raced into her house, and noticed the silence. Usually by now Jack was home watching a movie or something. Lyl ran out and rushed to her brother's garage. She could tell something was wrong. She rushed into the open garage, and noticed that her brother's warm breakfast was sitting on the counter. She closed up the garage and ran home at full speed. She knew who was behind it, and hid in her house.

	2. Chapter 2

A/N: It's not because I'm lazy, but I just don't want the team to know her when this happens.

-Lyl opened her eyes. Her sixth sense told her that she was needed soon. She stood up and grabbed her skateboard. Taking a running start, she hopped on and shot off as fast as she could. She felt the wind blowing through her hair for the first time in ten years. With her advanced sight, she saw the battleground ahead. She came to a stop next to Larabie* just as he was saying, "Ready, aim..." She snatched his arm and spoke calmly, "If you say that word, you will never be seen by the naked eye again. Especially since my brothers are down there. Are we clear Larabie?" She realized that she had broken the sound barrier. She close her hand and crushed his arm squishing blood out by accident. Grant stuttered, "It can't be, you're alive after all this time?" She glared at him, "You're lucky that Jack doesn't want any of you dead, or what happened to idiot's arm over here would be your head." She shot down next to her brother, "I was worried when you weren't home when it was dinner time. Never do that to me again Jack, are we clear?" He nodded, and Lyl leaned over to talk to Cindy, "So you must be the one with super strength, I bet you surprised my brother!"

**Months Later...**

-The Zenith team now comprised of Bullet (Lyl), Zoom, Concussion, Houdini (Dillan), Wonder Girl (Summer), Princess (Cindy), Gigantor (the name Lyl gave Tucker). The others had accepted Lyl with no problems, and she was very funny to be around. She left some years later, and went to England. She said it was because of Grant, and after all these years, the Gamma Rays were wearing off, and she would be the weakest instead of the strongest. She was never seen again.**

Three Long Lonely Days

Summer sighed as she pulled up infront of her high school. It her junior year and her parents had asked her to go back for her last 2 years of school. This had sort of broke up the team for the time being. They were planning to resume working at Area 52 at the end of the 2 years.

As Summer parked she spotted Mary Jenkins, captain of the cheer squad, surrounded by her friends. They were all dressed in their cheerleading uniforms. Summer got out of her car and could hear them going on about some cute new boy. She rolled her eyes, boys were all they thought about. Not that she was really able to speak. She often had her mind on a long haired boy lately, as well.

Summer and Dylan had been dating since the dance back at Area 52. It was hard to leave each other, but they were going to keep in touch and hold their relationship during the team's break.

Summer slammed her locker and was arriving in homeroom before long. She took her old seat, back corner, and stared out the window ignoring the quickly filling class.

"Thought I heard someone say you were back, freak!" Mary laughed as she walked by Summer's desk and took the seat infront of her.

Mary turned around to look at Summer so she could continue antagonising her.

"So, the freak academy kicked you out as well?"

"Shut up"

"Awe, someone touchy about where your parents shipped you off to?"

"I said shut up!" Summer whispered deadly.

Mary glared, rolled her eyes, then turned around to find the teacher just arriving.

------------S&D---------------

Summer dropped her lunch tray onto the empty table and sat down, trying to swallow the disgusting food. She looked up as a group of girls rushed to the cafeteria door.

_Poor guy,_ Summer thought. Girls seemed to be following this mysterious guy, whom Summer had still yet to see.

"Where'd he go?" a high pitch voice wailed.

The sound of a chair scrapping the floor caught Summer's attention. She turned her head to find the chair next to her moving on it's own. Her brows furrowed in confusion, and she continued staring at the moving chair.

Suddenly a silouhette appear and quickly details were appearing as well.

"Dylan?" Summer exclaimed, the statement coming out as more of a question.

"The one and only"

Summer hugged him tightly as he laughed.

"But, what are you doing here?"

"Just transferred here. Thought it would be pretty hard staying away from you, so why bother," Dylan answered her.

"Im so happy your here!"

Dylan smiled down at her and kissed her lips.

"Mm, I've missed you," Summer murmered as she pulled away.

"It's been 3 days," Dylan laughed, though he secretly felt the same way.

"3 very long, lonely days,"Summer sighed dramatically. "There not going to be so lonely any more though..."

**That was incredibly random, and so out of my normal fandom subjects, but I just got home from babysitting my little cousin, and we watched ZOOM. I just sorta have a new love for Summer/Dylan. **

**Please, please, please review!!!**

Jack never was the brains of the team. The heart, perhaps, but not the brains.

He's gotten old, weak. Bitter and weary. You're as strong as you've ever been and you've had thirty years to think about what you'd do when you met him again.

It swirls in you, the power. Jack tries to reach his brother, but that boy died long ago. The power sings in you and your mouth tastes metallic, and Jack keeps talking to Connor.

You smirk with Connor's lips and speak back.

You long to tell him there is no Connor, that you are all that is left. But Jack wouldn't believe you. He was never smart enough to recognize the truth. He will fight for a man that no longer lives until he himself is burned out.

Jack was never the brains of the team, and he still isn't. You unleash Connor's power with a smile; Jack and the children and the woman he brought with him will all die, now.

And you will be all that is left.

Im about to put a hurtin on a bitch soul
We took an eighth of psilocybe, let it all go
Stuck in the middle of the earth, it ethereal
Im bout to take a little trip and never come home
She dug a knife up in my chest until the blood flow
Id rather lick it off and swallow every drop, oh
Everybody thinkin Im the devil but Im really woke
By woke I mean Im not susceptible to brain control but I know that
She tied a knot up in the gum with the tongue
Make me wanna take another cigarette in my gun
Im sick of puttin it in my mouth just saying fuck it Im done
I know I never be the one to say the devil won
Cept for one mage if Im gonna be a Teller
Like Im really feelin like Im tryna dip and reincarnate
I look up in the sky, and I think
When Im done, I really wanna take a dive in the lake and say goodbye to everything
Fuck a halo, keep a heater with you
Pocket rocket, pop and hope your people with you
Leave em bloody red, really aint an issue
Think his auntie sad, get that bitch a tissue

You be talkin Migos, but aint one of us
Hit a fifty cell, really Im the plug
Just another day in the 6-1-4
Now they in Columbus talkin Mexico
Choppin up the kilo then we slittin throats

No that aint no slang for a fuckin pack
Even if it was, boy, you couldnt cap
Even if you did, itd hit you with the tax
Shout out all my homie, made a mill off wax
Yuh, yuh, ayy
Death by dishonor, you crossed the wrong one
Your wig get pushed back
Underground Underdog need ten flat to be in the same room
Pop by the cut with a stick and the stained booth
Fuck what you heard, baby, Ive been around
Po-po round, we need a moment of silence
Runnin from the piece to get away from the sirens
Aint a damn thing changed cause we love the violence
Baby Bone, Im an animal
Made a hundred thousand racks at the Seminole
Eat a rapper up sick like Im Hannibal
Got a bitch right off of the banana boat
Shakewell, make bail, set sail, send a rapper to Hell
Broke ass rappers, man, they want me to fail
I made all the right moves, Im never taking an L
Yeah, yeah
Usually, I would just make the decision to kill em
Rest is for the willin when you on the ceiling
Will he ever give a dividend again?
Im moving diligent, this independent, mane
A minimum of dank, Im on a bigger rank
I thank the lord for every saint
I cant describe a cannibal
I eat a rapper chapter one
I get up on you, read you like a poem
Shit is sticky since I got a system
Im a killer, make a million off of this
Thats how deep the pen and coffin is
So all my villains break a law to this
Pray your lord forgives a kid with confidence
I count the karma for my sons in orphanage
Im bringing all them in til we all begin
Theres no bargaining so quit arguin

A U.S. Court of Appeals on Friday has declared unconstitutional California Assembly Bills 1792 & 1793, the California "ultraviolent video games law" that sought to ban the sale or rental of violent video games to minors. Federal judge Consuelo M. Callahan has ruled that the 2005 statewide ban, which has yet to be enforced, violates minors' rights under the US Constitution's First and 14th amendment because even the most graphic on-screen mayhem, video game content represents free speech that cannot be censored without proper justification.

California Assembly Bills 1792 & 1793 are laws against ultraviolent video games.

Running add_column() seems to corrupt existing sequence-type column info

bug

Something isn't working

I have a dataset that contains a column ("foo") that is a sequence type of length 4. So when I run .to_pandas() on it, the resulting dataframe correctly contains 4 columns - foo_0, foo_1, foo_2, foo_3. So the 1st row of the dataframe might look like:

ds = load_dataset(...)
df = ds.to_pandas()

df:
foo_0 | foo_1 | foo_2 | foo_3
0.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0

If I run .add_column("new_col", data) on the dataset, and then .to_pandas() on the resulting new dataset, the resulting dataframe contains only 2 columns - foo, new_col. The values in column foo are lists of length 4, the 4 elements that should have been split into separate columns. Dataframe 1st row would be:

ds = load_dataset(...)
new_ds = ds.add_column("new_col", data)
df = new_ds.to_pandas()

df:
foo | new_col
[0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0] | new_val

I've explored the 2 datasets in a debugger and haven't noticed any changes to any attributes related to the foo column, but I can't determine why the dataframes are so different.


Add `IterableDataset.from_generator` to the API

enhancement

New feature or request

good first issue

Good for newcomers

We've just added `Dataset.from_generator` to the API. It would also be cool to add `IterableDataset.from_generator` to support creating an iterable dataset from a generator.

Embed image/audio data in dl_and_prepare parquet

_The documentation is not available anymore as the PR was closed or merged._

Embed the bytes of the image or audio files in the Parquet files directly, instead of having a "path" that points to a local file.

Indeed Parquet files are often used to share data or to be used by workers that may not have access to the local files.


[doc] Fix broken snippet that had too many quotes

Spent the day familiarising myself with the huggingface line of products, and happened to run into some small issues here and there. Magically, I've found exactly one small issue in `transformers`, one in `accelerate` and now one in `datasets`, hah!

As for this PR, the issue seems solved according to the [new PR documentation](https://moon-ci-docs.huggingface.co/docs/datasets/pr_4986/en/process#map):
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/37621491/190646405-6afa06fa-9eac-48f6-ab30-2677944fb7b6.png)

Hello!

### Pull request overview
* Fix broken snippet in https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/main/en/process that has too many quotes

### Details
The snippet in question can be found here: https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/main/en/process#map
This screenshot shows the issue, there is a quote too many, causing the snippet to be colored incorrectly:

The change speaks for itself.

Thank you for the detailed documentation, by the way.

How to convert  torch.utils.data.Dataset to huggingface dataset?

enhancement

New feature or request

Hi! I think you can use the newly-added `from_generator` method for that:
```python
from datasets import Dataset

def gen():
    for idx in len(torch_dataset):
        yield torch_dataset[idx]  # this has to be a dictionary
    ## or if it's an IterableDataset
    # for ex in torch_dataset:
    #     yield ex

dset = Dataset.from_generator(gen)
```

I look through the huggingface dataset docs, and it seems that there is no offical support function to  convert  `torch.utils.data.Dataset`  to huggingface dataset. However, there is a way to convert huggingface dataset to  `torch.utils.data.Dataset`, like below:
```python
from datasets import Dataset
data = [[1, 2],[3, 4]]
ds = Dataset.from_dict({"data": data})
ds = ds.with_format("torch")
ds[0]
ds[:2]
```
So is there something I miss, or there IS no function to convert  `torch.utils.data.Dataset` to huggingface dataset. If so, is there any way to do this convert?
Thanks.


Make `pyarrow` optional

New feature or request

The whole datasets library is pretty much a wrapper to pyarrow (just take a look at some of the source for a Dataset) https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/51aef08ad7053c0bfe8f9a961207b26df15850d3/src/datasets/arrow_dataset.py#L639

I think removing the pyarrow dependency would involve a complete rewrite / a different library with minimal functionality (datasets-lite ?)

Thanks for the proposal, @KOLANICH. And also thanks for your answer, @dconathan.

Indeed, we are using `pyarrow` as the backend for our datasets, in order to cache them and also allow memory-mapping (using datasets larger than your RAM memory).

One way to avoid using `pyarrow` could be loading the datasets in streaming mode, by passing `streaming=True` to `load_dataset`. This way you basically get a generator for the dataset; nothing is downloaded, nor cached.

Thanks for the info. Could `datasets` then be made optional for `transformers` instead? I used `transformers` only to deal with pretrained models to deploy them (convert to ONNX, and then I use TVM), so I don't really need `pyarrow` and `datasets` by now.

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Is `pyarrow` really needed for every dataset?

**Describe the solution you'd like**
It is made optional.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Likely, no.


Context: generate questions: Architecturally, the school has a Catholic character. Atop the Main Building's gold dome is a golden statue of the Virgin Mary. Immediately in front of the Main Building and facing it, is a copper statue of Christ with arms upraised with the legend "Venite Ad Me Omnes". Next to the Main Building is the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Immediately behind the basilica is the Grotto, a Marian place of prayer and reflection. It is a replica of the grotto at Lourdes, France where the Virgin Mary reputedly appeared to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. At the end of the main drive (and in a direct line that connects through 3 statues and the Gold Dome), is a simple, modern stone statue of Mary.

Context: generate questions: As at most other universities, Notre Dame's students run a number of news media outlets. The nine student-run outlets include three newspapers, both a radio and television station, and several magazines and journals. Begun as a one-page journal in September 1876, the Scholastic magazine is issued twice monthly and claims to be the oldest continuous collegiate publication in the United States. The other magazine, The Juggler, is released twice a year and focuses on student literature and artwork. The Dome yearbook is published annually. The newspapers have varying publication interests, with The Observer published daily and mainly reporting university and other news, and staffed by students from both Notre Dame and Saint Mary's College. Unlike Scholastic and The Dome, The Observer is an independent publication and does not have a faculty advisor or any editorial oversight from the University. In 1987, when some students believed that The Observer began to show a conservative bias, a liberal newspaper, Common Sense was published. Likewise, in 2003, when other students believed that the paper showed a liberal bias, the conservative paper Irish Rover went into production. Neither paper is published as often as The Observer; however, all three are distributed to all students. Finally, in Spring 2008 an undergraduate journal for political science research, Beyond Politics, made its debut.

Its main seminary, Moreau Seminary, is located on the campus across St. Joseph lake from the Main Building. Old College, the oldest building on campus and located near the shore of St. Mary lake, houses undergraduate seminarians. Retired priests and brothers reside in Fatima House (a former retreat center), Holy Cross House, as well as Columba Hall near the Grotto. The university through the Moreau Seminary has ties to theologian Frederick Buechner. While not Catholic, Buechner has praised writers from Notre Dame and Moreau Seminary created a Buechner Prize for Preaching.

The First Year of Studies program was established in 1962 to guide incoming freshmen in their first year at the school before they have declared a major. Each student is given an academic advisor from the program who helps them to choose classes that give them exposure to any major in which they are interested. The program also includes a Learning Resource Center which provides time management, collaborative learning, and subject tutoring. This program has been recognized previously, by U.S. News & World Report, as outstanding.
