 having a place and a function. And you suffered. And you cried and you wished for things to be different.
But you never trusted yourself. You never saw yourself for who you are. You never even dared to ask “who am I?” with the intent of finding out exactly what you are. You never dared to be still because then everything welled up and you had to put the lid back on.
You were afraid. And then you felt stillness and it was wonderful and then you forgot and forgot again when life got in the way. You didn’t remember your own, free unquestionable magnificence. You kept forgetting about yourself and who you are.
This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed.This paper focuses on open collaboration behind the articles of Wikipedia using network analysis. Wikipedia offers any user, from anywhere in the world, at any time, without bias in control, to edit any article, as much as wanted. In such environment, where the open in the word: open collaboration has been pushed to its extremes, the collaboration continues to bewilder us. This paper presents overviews of the collaboration patterns for editing articles in Wikipedias written in various languages. Our previous study (Iba & Itoh, 2009; Itoh & Iba, 2009; Iba et. al., 2009) proposed a technique to take an overview of collaboration patterns as networks and analyzed featured articles in English Wikipedia and Japanese Wikipedia; as a result, we found a common feature in the collaboration networks. In addition, another existing study (Nemoto & Gloor 2010) analyzed the cultural differences of Wikipedia collaboration among various languages, focusing on discussion behind each article. However, the characteristics of collaboration patterns of all articles in a certain language are still unrevealed. Also, the commonality and differences of collaboration patterns among Wikipedias written in various languages has not been analyzed so far. Set against this backdrop, we analyze the collaboration network by visualizing the collaboration in each article as a sequential collaboration network. In this visualization, networks are built by connecting each editor by edits in a sequential order (Iba & Itoh, 2009; Itoh & Iba, 2009; Iba et. al., 2009), where the node represents an editor, and edge represents the sequential editorial activity. Such method allows comprehending the highly complex activity in the open collaboration behind articles without excluding a single editor, or edit. In the past, we were able to see the presence of highly active editors from the pool of such editors for each article, by using the same method, analyzing the average path length of the network. The second factor, the number of editors, is analyzed by the number of nodes in the network of each article. We have analyzed these characteristics in the English, German, Japanese, and Vietnamese Wikipedias using network analysis so far. As we plotted each article in each version in scatter plots, we discovered that although the scale of editors and the average path length was different, all four Wikipeidas showed a similar characteristic. A specific characteristic that appeared in the three Wikipedias was a peak concerning the average path lengths of articles. The average path length grew longer as the amount of editors increased, but after the amount of editors reached a certain peak, the average path length gradually decreased. A proportional increase in the average path length and the amount of editors is understandable; the higher the amount of users, the longer the average path length. Yet it is bewildering to see the highly populated articles to have shorter average path lengths than those with fewer editors.
In addition, we have also found a difference in the collaborative patterns depending on the quality of the article. As we plotted all the articles, we differentiated featured articles by plotting them in a different color. To our surprise, we found that although they were positioned amongst the ordinary articles, they were present only in a certain area. To be specific, featured articles had rather shorter average path lengths amongst the articles, and articles that have longer average path lengths were not featured. Moreover, the same decrease in the average path lengths of higher populated articles, as mentioned above, also appeared in the featured articles. Thus, in this paper, we report the results the collaboration networks in all articles of various Wikipedias reveal, and the characteristics of collaboration this paper introduces a unique interpretation of open collaboration never done before. The similarities of collaboration the Wikipedias show, and the effects of highly active users upon the productivity will add to the views of understanding open collaboration, as well as open doors to even more perspectives.
The current let's encrypt plugin won't work any more, it throws an error about expired certificate when verifing after issuance, and removes SSL/TLS encryption for the site. This is caused because one of the LE root certificates has been expired.
So I searched for a quick fix so that newly issued certificates will work again, and have written a small patch for the certbot client you can find here. This will remove the expired root CA cert within the certificate chain, resulting in verification done by i-mscp won't fail any more.
Home » Android » Does Android Studio 3 support Java 9 for Android development? If so, what features of Java 9 are supported?
I’m going to install Android Studio 3 in order to develop an Android application.
I’d like to know if it is possible to use Java 9 for Android development? If so, does it support all of the Java 9 features?
As far as I know, the IDE itself supports Java 9. This means you can write a Java 9 desktop program, or run the IDE with JDK 9.
However, Android itself does not support Java 9 (yet). You can still download JDK 9, although I have seen some questions on problems related to Android Studio and Java 9. Personally, I have Java 9 and Android Studio runs without problems.
The Android SDK is the development kit you’ll be dealing with, and with source compatibility you’ll get language features similar to Java 6, 7, or 8, depending on your settings. So you can download JDK 9 and use that most likely without issues, but you can’t use any of the language features in any Android apps.
As for differences between the JDK and the Android SDK, you should read this. Android currently supports a subset of Java 8 features, but not everything. It might never support everything, or leave out some parts of Java 8, even if it later supports some parts on Java 9 or higher.
For 2D, honestly you can take your pick between Sonic 2, Sonic 3 &amp; Knuckles, or Sonic Mania Plus. The latter features levels from the first four games, but is still very much its own thing.

For 3D, either Sonic Adventure DX or Sonic Generations offer very definitive experiences in their respective mechanics/styles. Keep in mind they don't play much like each other at all so don't knock one if you don't like the other, I'm sure one of them would be fun for you.

All these games are on Steam if that's something you've got easy access to.Things aren't perfect though. I'm on 40mg of pred, and without loperamide the frequency would be too much to handle. My bowel still needs to heal.
My BIGGEST problem right now is sleep. During the day I can control my BMs with loperamide but at night time nothing, and I mean nothing, stops the D. As soon as I fall asleep the cramping starts and then I'm making 6-8 bathroom runs.
By morning my bowels are empty and I'm exhausted. Then I take prednisone and I'm awake all day. I'm averaging about 3-4 hours of sleep per night right now. I NEED SLEEP. What can I do?
Someone suggested intermittent fasting but because of pred I have to eat. Loperamide also doesn't seem to work overnight for some reason, it's like my body gets too relaxed.
Please help. The lack of sleep is destroying me.
Before anyone asks, no I'm not on any maintenance or rectal meds. I can't afford them. Also they don't work anyway.
cannabis maybe?
Sorry your suffering with no sleep right now. I too have the same problem. When I first started my UC journey I hated to take any medicine, now I'm like a walking pharmaceutical....
With that being said, there are a couple sleep medications that help me when I'm flaring and can't sleep. The can be habit forming though... I alternate between Restoril some nights and then Lunesta. Both work fairly well and I'm sometimes able to get a little more sleep.
In my experience, you still wake up...just a little foggy...
It may settle things down just enough that you can sleep. You know, that's when we're healing.
Benadryl may work too..A confrontation between church and state looms in Samoa, where the largest church in the country says its ministers will not obey a new law that requires them to pay income tax.
According to Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, the issue is simple. Samoa’s parliament passed a law late last year. After a six-month notification period, it takes effect on June 30th, and that’s that.
In one of his weekly radio programs, the Prime Minister said no government under the sun sets up a law, and then waits until some people agree with it.
The Congregational Christian Church of Samoa see things differently.
In May, the reverend Vavatau Taufao, the Church’s General Secretary, convened a general assembly which voted to reject the law. Effectively declaring that the government lacks the authority to override the church on
