Q: cypher labels not working as expected I created some nodes (n) with labels:
(n:Label1)

I then later merged new information to these nodes, at which point I also assigned a new label:
MERGE...
ON MATCH SET n:Label2

This results in nodes which have both Label1 and Label2.
However...when I search for nodes using Label2, I get 0 results. When I search for nodes using:
MATCH (n:Label1:Label2) RETURN n

Then I do get results... I was under the impression that labels could be used independently of each other for various matching procedures? Is this not the case? Or is there some kind of Label index that has not yet caught up yet and therefore not working with queries?

A: Just tried on 2.1.2, couln't verify a problem here:
create (n:Label1:Label2) return n  // returns one node with id 0

match (n) where id(n)=0 return labels(n) // returns Label1, Label2

// all three statements return node 0
match (n:Label1:Label2) return n
match (n:Label1) return n
match (n:Label2) return n

This is the expected behaviour. Maybe you're on a older version?

People of Color Face Higher Rates of Hep C, More Deadly Cases of Liver Cancer
By Alex Leeds Matthews • Oct 25, 2018

Marvin Jackson, 70, has been an avid tennis player for most of his life. When he noticed that his urine was a deep brown color, he wrote it off as a symptom of dehydration.
Then, in 2012, Jackson, who is African American, learned from his doctor that his dark urine was actually a sign that he had hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is a serious infection that affects the liver but can have few symptoms.
Unhappy with his doctor's bedside manner, he delayed returning for a follow-up after his diagnosis. When he did return, he got another stunning diagnosis from a different doctor.
"He says, 'Marvin, you've got liver cancer,'" Jackson recalled. Untreated hepatitis C is one of the causes of the illness. "Before I get a chance to let it all sink in, he's telling me what we're gonna do."
Jackson had a liver transplant in 2013. Recovery has been a challenge, he said, but now he's reached a "new normal."
African American and Latinos Face Increased Rates of Liver Cancer, Higher Death Risk
Jackson's case is not uncommon. People of color have long had higher rates of liver cancer, and data recently released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggests that the disparity persists.
The study, released in July, showed that death rates for liver cancer in adults (aged 25 and up) increased by 43 percent between 2000 and 2016.
Researchers also found sharp disparities in death rates by race. The rate for non-Latino whites was 9 per 100,000. Asian and Pacific Islanders (APIs) and African Americans both had death rates of 13.6 per 100,000. Latinos had the highest death rates of 14.6 per 100,000.
While they remain high, death rates among APIs have dropped significantly since 2000, when the rate was 17.5.
In California, liver cancer incidence and death rates have also declined among APIs since 2000. Yet rates among Latinos and African-Americans have increased over that same period, according to data from the California Cancer Registry.
Just over half of liver cancer cases arise from well-established risk factors, like viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, according to Salma Shariff-Marco, a UCSF professor who works on the Greater Bay Area Cancer Registry. Researchers, health care professionals and advocates are doing their best to screen, prevent and treat for those risk factors.
Mindie Nguyen, a Stanford physician who runs a lab focusing on causes of liver cancer, said that in general, high rates of hepatitis, a virus that inflames the liver, are to blame for these disparities. Some Asian and Latin American countries have higher rates of viral hepatitis that persist in those ethnic groups even after they've immigrated to the United States.
The declining rates in the API population are due in part to enhanced therapies for hepatitis as well as vaccination against hepatitis in young people, according to Nguyen.
Higher Rates of Hep C Infection Among African Americans
African-American Californians also face an elevated risk of hepatitis C. Katie Burk, viral hepatitis coordinator at the San Francisco Department of Public Health, heads the city's End Hep C initiative. The initiative is just one of a robust set of efforts to reduce hepatitis and liver cancer. The San Francisco Cancer Initiative (SF CAN) collaborates with End Hep C and San Francisco Hep B Free to increase screenings and treatment of viral hepatitis. Burk noted that although African Americans represent only six percent of the city's population, they account for more than 30 percent of its hepatitis C cases.
Though Jackson faced a higher risk of hepatitis C than other ethnic groups—in California in 2015, African Americans were just under six percent of the population but nearly 12 percent of the hepatitis C cases – he was shocked by his diagnosis. "It was out of the blue," he said. "I had never heard of hepatitis C."
Jackson learned from his doctor that he may have been living with hepatitis C undiagnosed for decades. That's likely how it developed into liver cancer. People are often unaware that they have hepatitis: it's estimated that only half of all hepatitis C cases, and just ten percent of hepatitis B cases are diagnosed, according to Nguyen.
Jackson couldn't imagine how he contracted it. He didn't drink until he was 35, and he didn't use drugs, he said. Alcohol and injection drug use are major causes of hepatitis C. Without symptoms or obvious risk factors, Jackson was lucky to find his hepatitis when he did.
Follow-up Crucial to Reducing Cancer Risk
Patients like Jackson, who delay follow-up, can easily have their tumors grow to a stage where it's too late for successful treatment, so Nguyen recommends screening every six months.
"Many patients say, 'Why do I have to do this every six months? It's so time consuming," Nguyen said. "It's not like skin cancer. Liver cancer you have no pain at all until it's really big. By then it's almost always too late. Patients are busy and they're asymptomatic so they forget."
Although successful therapy for hepatitis B and C can reduce the risk of cancer by 50 to 70 percent, Nguyen said, she cautioned that patients should still be wary after treatment.
"The risk doesn't become zero," Nguyen said."It depends on the age of patient and progression of disease, but it's still much higher than someone who never had been infected."
When Jackson stopped visiting his doctor for follow-ups, he said he felt fine. But he later learned how lucky he was that he came in for a screening when he did. The doctor told him that he needed a liver transplant within the next 14 months, or they wouldn't be anything they could do to save his life.
Patients who adhere to the biannual surveillance double their chances of receiving curative treatment, Nguyen said. She advocates strict screening guidelines for hepatitis and liver cancer.
Screening Alone Won't Fix Disparities
According to the California Department of Public Health, such screening guidelines, along with hepatitis B vaccinations for low-income populations, are an essential component of the statewide effort to reduce liver cancer.
But preventing liver cancer is far more complex than simply addressing the viruses that cause it.
About 40 percent of cases are from emerging risk factors or causes that researchers have not yet identified, according to Shariff-Marco, the UCSF professor.
"It is a big challenge because it limits how we can message around liver cancer prevention," she said.
These factors range from socioeconomic status to involvement with the criminal justice system. Impoverished and incarcerated individuals not only face higher risk of liver cancer but also greater barriers to access health care.
Low socioeconomic status and rates of incarceration affect racial minorities disproportionately, worsening ethnic groups' already higher rates of liver cancer and death.
"There's all of these overlapping vulnerabilities, I think a lot of which are related," said Burk, with San Francisco's Department of Public Health.
The odds are stacked against black men like Jackson, but the now-retired artist and teacher, feels lucky. His body had to adjust to the transplant, but five years later, he's regained some energy and fitness. The 6-foot-3 man had dropped to 170 pounds at his worst, but is now back up to 200 and playing tennis again.

Very few people in my family and among my friends know that I blog. I Don't advertize it very much though, I Don't know, there's a sort of shyness to it. But those who know support me, yes.
I Don't necessarily have a favourite moment of the day. It varies depending on my occupations. Lately, I love night time because that's when everybody at home is asleep, and I will not be interrupted. That's when I write my articles for the blog, or do my research for my studies.
My dream vacation would be, a road trip from East to West of the U.S.A. Or From West to East of Russia by train. Or from South to North of Patagonia (Agentina). It takes time and money, but yeah, that would be my dream vacation.
I love any movie with an intrigue, a dose of suspens, so that would be drama, thrillers. I also appreciate a mellow love story. But horror movies, no !
I wake up to « hello » ! Enjoy every minute and bit of life that God grants me. Hopefully I'm not wasting my time.
I am a Morning person, but not too early either. For work, I like starting around 9 a.m, even if I wake up earlier, I like doing my stretching or yoga session, spending a bit of time with my family, even read a little before I go out. I Don't like the « wake up, shower, breakfast, go to work » feel.
What motivates me is to know that my slightest actions can change someone else's life, even a smile at a stranger, being nice and sending good vibes around me.
Though one Sadje ! Can I pass ? Ok, I'm not sure, but everybody getting interested in recycling, consuming responsibly (just the necessary), reducing one's waste. Small drops which put together will make an ocean in short.

Thank you for thinking of me, and the nomination. I enjoyed the reading the answers to your questions, and learning a little more about you my friend.


Fox's first Marvel series The Gifted was welcomed to Comic-Con with a mutant-loving ovation as stars of the series, Stephen Moyer, Amy Acker, Sean Teale, Jamie Chung, Coby Bell, Emma Dumont, Blair Redford, Natalie Alyn Lind, and Percy Hynes White were joined on stage by the show's creative team Matt Nix, Lauren Shuler Donner, Jeph Loeb, and Derek Hoffman.
Wasting no time, Nix, Shuler Donner, Jeph Loeb, and stars Stephen Moyer and Amy Acker came out on stage to start the panel with footage from the Fox series based on characters from the X-Men universe. The series of clips began with the mutant Blink (Jamie Chung) running from officers in the rain before escaping via a portal. Fellow mutants on the run Marcos (Sean Teale), Lorna (Emma Dumount) and Thunderbird (Blair Redford) come to her aid.
A short scene after has Reed and Kate Strucker (Moyer and Acker) meeting at her son Andy's (Percy Hynes White) school after he's been bullied. Following that, we see Moyer interrogating Lorna only to result in violent consequences. We then get a look at the Strucker family life where the kids Andy and Lauren (Natalie Alyn Lind) have an argument about the very volatile social climate of mutants vs. humans, mirroring the world we live in today. Cut to: a school dance where after a traumatic bout of bullying, Andy has a panic attack, unleashing powerful consequences.
Nix also addresses whether or not the world of Gifted will intersect with the characters from the movie. "Right now, one of the things covered in the show is that the X-Men — why are they gone? The show covers that," he said. "Are they gone because they are too expensive for television, not exactly, although that may be related.
The movies may not directly factor into the series, leaving many to hope for a crossover between The Gifted and its television kin Legion. Shuler Donner, with, all sincerity said, "Sorry to break your heart, but no" to the idea.
Before ending the panel, Nix treated the audience to an extended trailer for the series with an action-packed preview of what to expect from this new class of mutants, showcasing their powers and the socially-minded premise. Watch the new trailer above.
Written by Nix and helmed by Bryan Singer, The Gifted focuses on a suburban couple (Moyer, Acker) whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive.
The action-adventure drama, which premieres on October 2, comes from 20th Century Fox TV and Marvel TV.
Nix executive produces The Gifted alongside Singer, Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg along with Loeb and Jim Chory.

Maybe it seems unloving to suggest that your children might grow into adults you don't actually like.
But let's be honest. It happens.
Not many parents of adult children will admit it, but it's still true. And there are moms and dads who are in the relatively early stages of parenthood, but who are already sensing that their offspring are turning into people they would rather not spend time with.
The goal of this post is to highlight three things that will help us raise kids we'll actually like as adults.
There are no guarantees, of course. And I realize that "liking" your children isn't the main goal in life. But I'm using that word in the sense of being-proactive-about-shaping-your-children-into-good-and-healthy-people.
I don't claim to be a parenting expert. But I do claim to have three children, a love for reading about this stuff, ten years of pastoral experience, and a well-used Bible which is always relevant to today's issues.
First, be secure in your own identity.
If you aren't secure in who you are, your uncertainty and instability can negatively wade into your children's lives.
For example, in his book 12 Rules for Life, psychologist Jordan Peterson argues that "modern parents are simply paralyzed by the fear that they will no longer be liked or even loved by their children if they chastise them for any reason." I think this flows from an insecurity about (a) who they are in the first place, and (b) what the role of the parent is.
Let's ponder for a second: Do we prefer to be friends with our kids instead of parents because we desperately need someone to affirm us? Do we create an "anything goes" environment because we have no real sense of what our place is in the world?
I'm a Christian so that obviously shapes my sense of self. No matter what I'm going through I know I've been adopted by God as his child and disciple (Romans 8). That's who I am, and I hope that confidence carries into my parenting.
But what about you? Where is your rootedness? However you're inclined to answer, it's something we parents need to figure out. As the old expression goes, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." It doesn't always work out that way, of course. But it probably happens more often than we think. It's hard for a hollow tree to grow healthy apples.
"It's hard for a hollow tree to grow healthy apples."
"Discipline" is an unpopular word these days. It can make us think of cold authoritarianism. I think it has fallen out of favour because it has become closely associated with spanking or hitting. Plus, our society is also riding the wave of "individualism," so anything that appears to encroach on someone else's free choice (whatever that may be) is considered bad.
This is why we need to think bigger.
But what is discipline, specifically?
It is about guiding and correcting your children; it is also about setting clear expectations about behaviour, and then following through with either negative consequences or positive rewards depending on how the child chooses to act.
To do this effectively parents first needs to take their authority seriously, know the difference between right and wrong, and communicate expectations and consequences ahead of time with their children.
As a general rule, undisciplined children are unlikable children who turn into unlikable adults. Is there good in them? Yes. Are there wonderful things about them? I'm sure there is. But a lack of discipline creates emotional chaos in the world of a child. That makes them act accordingly. If we don't take discipline seriously, we are setting our children up for a lifetime of social failure and loneliness.
Third, guide them toward their greater purpose.
But that mind-set can also be reinforced by the parents.
That's why parents need to stop making children the centre of their world, and take seriously the task of helping their children connect up to their greater purpose—a purpose beyond themselves.
The great Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy had an existential crisis which prompted him to ask, "Is there any meaning in my life that the inevitable death awaiting me does not destroy?" I realize that seems kind of heavy; but it is beneficial for our kids to start wrestling through those kinds of questions (in an age appropriate way). What am I doing here? What is my purpose? Am I contributing to something that will outlast me?
For my own family, as Christians, we answer that question in terms of Christ. God has created all of us with unique talents and personalities to glorify, serve and know him as we follow Christ and contribute to the meaningful ways he is renovating the world with his love and truth. As the Lord's Prayer says, "your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10).
Regardless of your beliefs, here's the takeaway from a statement like that: we are teaching our kids that life is not all about them. The point of life is to point to God. This is a reversal of me-first mentality that feeds apathy, sadness, and entitlement.
Each family will be different, of course. But parents need to think through how they are helping their children link up to their greater purpose. As they do so, a child's sense of purpose, and even gratitude, will increase. That's good news because unlikeable children are self-centred and ungrateful children who turn into self-centred and ungrateful adults.
And as an added bonus, the medical missionary and author Albert Schweitzer also came to the conclusion that focusing on serving others increases a person's happiness.
Parenting is a marathon. That's tough to swallow in a world that prefers quick fixes and short Twitter-sized bursts of information. That's why we need to be thoughtful, chart a course, and rise up to the 10,000 foot view so that we can see the forest for the trees.
1. Be secure in your own identity.
3. Guide them toward their greater purpose.
I think they will help us raise children we actually like as adults. They'll be more secure and content, more balanced and responsible, and well on their way to a life with greater purpose.
Who wouldn't want to be around someone like that?
Good stuff! Discipline is definitely a big one that I think a lot of people don't know how to incorporate properly.
As a retired teacher from Junior High, I have noticed that a parent's self esteem is based upon the success & happiness of their kids. It may explain why "helicopter parents" destroy boundaries & problem solving in kids. This is beyond criminal…to cheat your kids of self esteem building. Solution: stop being friends to your kids…as I said to my daughter a few years ago…there is a day when we can become friends but for now I am your parent as it is my responsibility. Let your kids fall…the opposite of down is "Up". It's the toughest job in the world to be a good parent…it's not about perfection…it's all about shaping your children into a meaningful life. When do you see this…in cherished effortless moments of seeing your kids thinking / doing for others without asking (kindness & gratitude).
Thanks for sharing that wisdom and experience, Eileen!
For any parents who are struggling to get their children to listen to them, I highly recommend the DVD by Dr. Thomas Phelan called 123 Magic. It should be available in your local library. I have seen this DVD help many moms and dads create a community of loving order! (as opposed to fighting chaos!) Thanks Matthew for reminding parents that they are the leaders of the family!
Hi Anne, thanks for sharing that! And also for mentioning 123 Magic. We've found that really helpful too!

New law forces companies to stop taking the biscuit
In May 2011 the UK introduced legislation to comply with the EU Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulation of 2011, the so-called 'cookie law'. Britain's Information Commissioner 's Office (ICO) gave businesses twelve months to fall in line with the legislation, which means that the law came into effect in May 2012.
What Does the Law Require Me to Do?
As all of us who use the internet to promote our business will know, a cookie is a piece of information that is placed on the PC or mobile device of people who visit your website. The information file enables you to target the content and advertising the user sees the next time they visit your site and to gather information for the purposes of marketing. The new EU legislation is designed to protect the privacy of internet users and to curb the inappropriate use of text files.
In essence, the regulation requires you to provide visitors to your site with information about your policy on how and why you use cookies and to gain the visitor's consent to that policy. The regulations are not specific about the exact content of the information you provide, other than that it should be clear and understandable.
It is important to note that the regulations cover all internet sites based in the EU, not just new ones. Any business which has not reviewed its use of text files and has not taken appropriate action is now operating outside the scope of the new legislation and needs to take urgent action in order to comply.
How Do I Make Sure My Website Complies?
Throughout most of the twelve-month implementation period of the legislation, the ICO has been insisting that any notion of 'implied consent' by website users was not sufficient. Public awareness of all the issues involved was too low for this to be enough. However, at the last moment the ICO changed its line and an implied consent approach by businesses is now acceptable. To quote from the ICO's latest guidance:
'While explicit consent might allow for regulatory certainty and might be the most appropriate way to comply in some circumstances this does not mean that implied consent cannot be compliant.'
This is a fundamental change that has implications for all companies who operate and conduct advertising through the internet. We need to be clear that the ICO are not saying that 'do nothing' is acceptable, but their clarification of the regulation has made its requirements less proscriptive for businesses.
Implied consent still means that sites should provide the user with information about their use of text files. Consent, however, need not be something such as an explicit 'tick here' box; the user's implied consent can be assumed by the act of them clicking on another page to continue through the site.
The ICO has the right to check what UK sites are doing to comply with the EU Regulation. Companies should, therefore, draw up an action plan, conduct audits and update their privacy policy. The 'shop window' of your compliance with the regulation, however, is the information you provide to users when they arrive at your site.

We had the pleasure of collaborating with Milk & Honey to bring you two different styled looks with the same adorable charcoal coat. We both wanted to wear it so we thought this was a great opportunity to show you how it can be worn in multiple ways! Read below on how we styled it in our unique way and the link to add this to your own wardrobe for less.
When I first saw this charcoal coat from Milk & Honey, I had a few different ideas on how to style it. I knew I definitely wanted to wear a long sleeve under it but wasn't sure if I would do a skirt or pants. Ultimately I decided to go with my tried and true: JEANS. I love how the lighter wash on these Rag & Bone jeans (currently ON SALE - shop below) really stands out against the dark gray plaid. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I am currently obsessed with mixing grays so this vest was the perfect opportunity to do that! I chose to keep it simple with a basic long sleeve tee, heel booties, a rabbit fur infinity scarf and jewelry – all in gray.
What I love about this piece is that it not only feeds my gray obsession but also my love of vests and trench coats ALL IN ONE. It's also a really great length because it pairs well over skinny jeans or leggings but is also long enough to be worn with a short skirt or dress. This chic coat is a great outerwear option for typical Texas weather when there's a bit of a chill in the morning but the sun warms the afternoon right up and you don't want to be stuck wearing a heavy or bulky coat. Overall, I love the versatility and uniqueness it brings to a variety of different outfits!
When it comes to Texas weather, there is a good chance the day will start out at 65 degrees, rise to 80, then drop to 40 with drizzle all within a 15 hour time-span. While we transition to Spring, it's great to have a few versatile pieces that can easily be worn while the seasons change. This charcoal plaid coat is just that! A great layering accessory that will do the job of keeping you warm and weather appropriate without being overbearing.
I chose to style this plaid coat with a simple black sweater and high-low skirt from Target. Something about this look is simple and elegant. I'm a no-fuss fashion girl so the simpler the better. This coat gave my day wear black-on-black look something extra with the texture, lack of sleeves and my favorite, pockets! Not only is this piece a great add to transition into a new season but a great piece to help an outfit go from day to night.
Lucky for you, it's on SALE at Milk & Honey online. Click the link below to add this adorable coat to your wardrobe.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens teases audiences with a new character
New releases of trailers depicting the upcoming December 18 Star Wars film always have unique shots that reveal something further about the plotline of the movie. Most recently, a thirty-second trailer was released to the Korean public and has been uploaded to the Korean Star Wars Youtube channel. The trailer opens with a wide shot of a large Imperial army and a lineup of officials with their backs to the camera, one of which is the mysterious evil Captain Phasma. IMO, he seems to have some Darth Vader-esque connotations and a bit of a Boba Fett thing going on.
All the while, the voiceover from the original November trailer release looms in the background along with familiar action shots from the two previous trailers that reiterate the sheer excitement that the world has for the facelifted Star Wars franchise. Although, besides the buzz that this trailer has created, gamers continue to keep their heads up and their ears open for any updates on the new Battlefront video game released in November for Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC. I speculate that not much else will be revealed about the DLC or gameplay and that we'll just have to play the darn thing, but one can always hope.

$ bashbrew --help
NAME:
   bashbrew - canonical build tool for the official images

USAGE:
   bashbrew [global options] command [command options] [arguments...]

COMMANDS:
     list   list repo:tag combinations for a given repo
     build  build (and tag) repo:tag combinations for a given repo
     tag    tag repo:tag into a namespace (especially for pushing)
     push   push namespace/repo:tag (see also "tag")

   plumbing:
     children  print the repos built FROM a given repo or repo:tag
     parents   print the repos this repo or repo:tag is FROM
     cat       print manifest contents for repo or repo:tag
     from      print FROM for repo:tag

GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   --debug                  enable more output (esp. all "docker build" output instead of only output on failure) [$BASHBREW_DEBUG]
   --no-sort                do not apply any sorting, even via --build-order
   --constraint value       build constraints (see Constraints in Manifest2822Entry)
   --exclusive-constraints  skip entries which do not have Constraints
   --config value           where default "flags" configuration can be overridden more persistently (default: "/home/tianon/.config/bashbrew") [$BASHBREW_CONFIG]
   --library value          where the bodies are buried (default: "/home/tianon/docker/official-images/library") [$BASHBREW_LIBRARY]
   --cache value            where the git wizardry is stashed (default: "/home/tianon/.cache/bashbrew") [$BASHBREW_CACHE]
   --help, -h, -?           show help

```

## Building

Go version 1.6 or above is required for compilation of Bashbrew.

Bashbrew itself is built using `gb` ([github.com/constabulary/gb](https://github.com/constabulary/gb)).

Once in the `go` subdirectory, `gb build` should produce `go/bin/bashbrew`, ready for use.

## Usage

Docker version 1.10 or above is required for use of Bashbrew.

In general, `bashbrew build some-repo` or `bashbrew build ./some-file` should be sufficient for using the tool at a surface level, especially for testing. For more complex usage, please see the built-in help (`bashbrew --help`, `bashbrew build --help`, etc).

## Configuration

The default "flags" configuration is in `~/.config/bashbrew/flags`, but the base path can be overridden with `--config` or `BASHBREW_CONFIG` (technically, the full path to the `flags` configuration file is `${BASHBREW_CONFIG:-${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/bashbrew}/flags`).

To set a default namespace for specific commands only:

```
Commands: tag, push
Namespace: officialstaging
```

To set a default namespace for all commands:

```
Namespace: jsmith
```

A more complex example:

```
# comments are allowed anywhere (and are ignored)
Library: /mnt/docker/official-images/library
Cache: /mnt/docker/bashbrew-cache
Constraints: aufs, docker-1.9, tianon
ExclusiveConstraints: true

# namespace just "tag" and "push" (not "build")
Commands: tag, push
Namespace: tianon

Commands: list
ApplyConstraints: true

Commands: tag
Debug: true
```

In this example, `bashbrew tag` will get both `Namespace` and `Debug` applied.

Nigerian Afrobeat has taken over all clubs in Dubai – Lanre Typical
Nigerian music, Afrobeats in particular, has become something of a phenomenon, not only on the African continent but also spiralling to the other continents of the world. In attesting to this fact, Dubai's number one show promoter, Lanre Typical, born Azeez Olanrewaju Adenekan in a chat with Guardian chronicles how they sold Nigerian music to the Dubai audience, saying it has caught on like wildfire.
"As we all know, Afrobeats is one of the biggest genres in the world right now. It's loved by all and now widely accepted. All clubs rock to it here in Dubai. Every club has or wants an Afrobeat night which they were not proud of a few years back, Afrobeats has taken over all clubs in Dubai. I can remember a few years back, Nigerian music was accepted by selected few, but today it has been accepted by everyone. I feel if there is the consistency it will remain in the mainstream for a long time to come," he stated emphatically.
According to the computer science graduate of Lagos State University (LASU) turned show promoter it took some hard work to sell Nigerian music to the Gulf state and he explains how he played his part in this regard.
"Funny enough, I came to Dubai for vacation and decided to reside here after seeing so many opportunities. Nigerian entertainment wasn't so strong when I came to Dubai about 7 years ago. I visited the first club where Nigerians hang out and the music wasn't good, so I met with the manager and gave him a couple of advice on how to make it better. Then I was called by the club management the same week for a meeting. After taking my advice which worked for them they told me they would like to work with me and I accepted and that's how it all started.
"They were paying me weekly for publicity and promotions which was good pay and I felt there's more to gain than lose, so I decided to stay back. I was once a music artiste way back in my university days. About 16 years ago I stopped singing after opening my entertainment blog Typicalnaija.ng which was from the influence from what I studied, Computer Science, at Lagos State University.
"My blog was buzzing and I was using the platform to promote artistes, then after relocating to Dubai I started promoting the Nigerian entertainment in clubs and started bringing artistes from Africa to the United Arab Emirates for performances," he said.
Lanre Typical is a top-notch, award-winning Nigerian entertainment executive/promoter who celebrates the finest talents and outstanding individuals in the Nigeria/Africa entertainment industry, bringing the very best artistes from Africa on monthly basis for the nightlife experiences to Africans based in Dubai and in the entire Gulf region. He is also the CEO of TypicalNaija.ng, a blog known for fashion and music distribution.
In 2019 alone, Lanre Typical brought over 30 Nigerian artistes to Dubai and the list includes the likes of Zlatan, 9ice, Peruzzi, Harrysong, Slimcase, Reminisce, Qdot and many others. And his exploits have not gone unnoticed as many awards have come his way. In 2019 alone, he won Scream All The Way's Showbiz Promoter of the Year award as well as MAYA Awards Africa's Show Promoter of the Year Award.

Q: How does Ionic decide which Android emulator to launch? I am following this for Android platform: http://ionicframework.com/getting-started/ (cmd> ionic emulate android) . It builds ok, and I know the apk works on a phone, but I want to figure out how does it decided which Android Virtual Device to launch. At the moment, it start up a v2.2 emulator by default and then complains it's too old while trying to install the apk. I want to use v4.1 or higher (I have the relevant SDKs installed through previous native Android development using Eclipse.)

A: From the command line, just specify the emulator target.
e.g. ionic emulate android --target="Nexus_6P_API_25"
Check the AVD manager for a list of available and installed virtual devices.

A: Kind of found an answer myself. Instead of using Google Android emulator, one can use
Genymotion. And use can set the device screen size and Android version.

Back in 2007 we released the jQuery Color Plugin, and it has been providing you with color-based animations ever since. We are now preparing a second version of this plugin which adds an API, RGBA, HSLA, and many other features. It is time for a beta! The repository for this plugin can be found at github.com/jquery/jquery-color. There are also uncompressed and minified versions available on code.jquery.com.
We also now support using HSLA color values across all browsers, with the execption of alpha, which uses the same techniques described above.
Instead of a simple group of private utility methods, $.Color() now creates a new Color object. The new Color object can be initialized in a few different ways: color names, hexidecimal color codes, css style rgba/hsla, an array of rgba values, or an object with the color properties. There are now helper methods for each color property, like .red() and .hue() that can get or set the particular value. Combined with helper functions like .toRgbString(), .transition() and .is(), $.Color can now handle whatever color needs you might have. Refer to the README on github.com/jquery/jquery-color for an overview of all the new functions available. No longer is jQuery.Color just providing you with animation of simple colors, you can now use its API to do complex color calculations and animations!
If you find any problems with the new color plugin, or would like to request a feature, please create a github issue.
Also, we'd love to see and showcase some excellent uses of the new $.Color beta, so please be sure to share it with us in the comments.
We're pleased to announce the first update to jQuery 1.6!
You can help us by dropping that code into your existing application and letting us know that if anything no longer works. Please file a bug and be sure to mention that you're testing against jQuery 1.6.1.
With the introduction of the new .prop() method and the changes to the .attr() method, jQuery 1.6 sparked a discussion about the difference between attributes and properties and how they relate to each other. It also came with some backwards compatibility issues that have been fixed in 1.6.1. When updating from 1.5.2 to 1.6.1, you should not have to change any attribute code.
Below is a description of the changes to the Attributes module in jQuery 1.6 and 1.6.1, as well as the preferred usage of the .attr() method and the .prop() method. However, as previously stated, jQuery 1.6.1 will allow you to use .attr() just as it was used before in all situations.
Note that the changes described in the 1.6 release notes regarding the .data() method have been worked around and now work seamlessly between 1.5.2 and 1.6.1.
The changes to the Attributes module removed the ambiguity between attributes and properties, but caused some confusion in the jQuery community, since all versions of jQuery prior to 1.6 have handled attributes and properties in one method(.attr()). The old .attr() method had many bugs and was hard to maintain.
jQuery 1.6.1 comes with several bug fixes as well as an update to the Attributes module.
will not need to be changed in 1.6.1 in order to work as previously expected.
Boolean attributes such as checked only set the default or initial value. In the case of a checkbox, the checked attribute sets whether the checkbox should be checked when the page loads.
Properties are what the browser uses to keep track of the current values. Normally, properties reflect their corresponding attributes (if they exist). This is not the case with boolean attributes. Boolean properties stay up to date when the user clicks a checkbox or selects an option in a select element. The corresponding boolean attributes do not. As was stated above, they are used by the browser only to store the initial value.
would not check the checkbox because it was the property that needed to be set and all you were setting was the initial value.
Note that some DOM Element properties are also listed below – but will only work with the new .prop() method.
Neither .attr() nor .prop() should be used for getting/setting value. Use the .val() method instead (although using .attr("value", "somevalue") will continue to work, as it did before 1.6).
The current change log of the 1.6.1 release.
#9123: Strange behavior of attr method when generate input element.
#9147: Variable tmp in promise implicitly declared?
We're nearing the first update to jQuery 1.6 – and we're pleased to announce the release of the first release candidate! Barring any major bugs this should be the code that we end up shipping for jQuery 1.6.1 (which will be happening this week).
You can help us by dropping that code into your existing application and letting us know that if anything no longer works. Please file a bug and be sure to mention that you're testing against jQuery 1.6.1 RC 1.

Q: Apache Airflow 2.5.0: Run a Dask scheduler and Dask worker with apache airflow to run DAGs through docker compose file I am trying to run the docker compose file, customised to run a dask scheduler and dask worker instead of a celery scheduler and celery worker.
After running the code docker compose up, all containers seem to be running fine. However, I get the error on the UI,
"The scheduler does not appear to be running. Last heartbeat was received 22 minutes ago.

The DAGs list may not update, and new tasks will not be scheduled."

Communication with the scheduler or worker seems to be missing.
I cannot understand what is missing in my configuration.

Q: How can I style a component whose class changes based on a `use` directive in Svelte? I am creating a directive which adjusts the class of the element that it is applied to. However, the styles for that class do not apply when the class changes. For instance:
Form.svelte
<form id='sign-in' use:delayed={ handleSubmit }>
  Your Name
  <input required id='sign-in-name' type='text' />

  <input type='submit' value='Sign In' />
</form>

Delayed.js
export default function(node, action) {
  node.addEventListener('submit', async function(event) {
    event.preventDefault()
    const originalClass = node.className

    node.className = `${ originalClass } submitting`
    await action()
    node.className = originalClass
  })
}

In this case, the class will change successfully in the DOM, but the form will still display. The form.submitting style doesn't even make it into the CSS generated by Svelte.
I know that I can work around this using a global stylesheet, but I'm curious why the scoped styles don't apply and if there's a way to make it work that way.
This works, but it feels hacky.

A: Svelte compiler removes unused CSS rules, that is rules with selectors that do not match in the markup of the component. You should have a compiler warning "Unused CSS selector" about that. And since the compiler can't see dynamically added classes, your form.submitting selector is removed.
The solution is indeed to make your dynamic selector :global(...).
If you want your style to only apply in the scope of this component and its children, you need a wrapping element that you can reference like such:

  <form>...</form>

Svelte will scope the div part of the selector to the current component, effectively meaning that the :global(...) part will only apply to the form inside a
 inside this component.

Enough with "I date women and trans men"
I'm traveling on the east coast right now, which has thrown me back into the kind of queer, mostly female assigned community that exists in the "I date women and trans men" frame (I'm not saying this doesn't happen on the west coast – but I've found alternatives way more easily). This is a big part of what my Girl Talk piece was about, but I want to address this particular issue really directly.
"I date women and trans men" is the definition of cissexism. It's basing your frame for sexuality on the gender coercively assigned to a person by their doctor at birth, not on that person's actual identity. In this case, we're talking about folks who were assigned female. Of course, "women" means cis women – trans women totally drop off the map.
Chart via TransFusion
My critique of this frame isn't about everyone on the trans masculine spectrum, where there's a ton of complex gender and sexuality diversity (though there is an important conversation to have about the privileging of masculinity here as well). I'm talking about how this approach to sexuality addresses people who were assigned female at birth but are men.
It's incredibly undermining to frame sexuality in a way that lumps these men in with all female assigned folks instead of with cis men. It's a failure, in the realm of sexuality, to recognize that trans men's male identities are just as legitimate as cis men's. If you're going to base sexuality on gender, better base it on people's actual genders.
I get why a lot of female assigned folks exist in this frame for reasons that aren't overtly about undermining trans identities. There's a ton of gender based trauma out there, and I understand that folks associate this with cis men, and not with trans men. But that's not a reality-based approach to gender. A lot of that trauma gets easily linked to genitals, but this isn't about bodies, it's about patriarchy. I think this sexuality frame is a big part of why so many trans men get away with (and are sometimes even encouraged to practice) unchecked misogyny and male privilege (remember, power is complicated. You can experience both male privilege and cissexist oppression). Real talk: being trans doesn't prevent you from perpetrating hurt and violence in the realm of sexuality.
My trans brothers deserve better than sex in a frame that undermines their identities. This doesn't mean queer cis women and gender non-conforming female assigned folks can't fuck trans men, but then they owe it to these guys to reframe their sexuality in a way that's not undermining – to recognize that they sleep with men, and to question why they're OK with sleeping with trans men and not cis men. I just don't think it's OK to process your sexual trauma in a delegitimizing way through the bodies of folks who've often faced tons of trauma at the intersection of gender and sexuality.
The problem isn't one sided: trans guys owe it to themselves to not accept a misgendering sexuality frame just because it makes it easier to get laid, but that shit's complicated in a cissexist world. It's unfair to place all the responsibility for fixing this problem at the feet of the people who's identities are being undermined. I want to encourage trans guys to stand up for what they deserve, but a lot of the responsibility for fixing this shit belongs to the people doing the undermining.
I do put a little more responsibility on trans men for letting this frame push their trans sisters out. This approach to sexuality totally erases trans women by excluding us from the group of sexually existing queer women. Yes, it's also incredibly undermining of trans women's identities by moving us out of the category "women" when it comes to sexuality. Ultimately, this frame goes back to the gender coercively assigned at birth for trans women as well. It's a way for transmisogyny to advance unchecked, because trans women totally drop out of the conversation. It's part of the broader problem of privileging masculinity over femininity, and specifically of privileging masculinity in female assigned folks and hating on and marginalizing femininity in male assigned folks. The problem goes beyond gender theory about masculinity and femininity – this is about really specific, really real transmisogyny. Even when some femininity is accepted, it's in female assigned folks. Trans women (even the butch ones) get left out in the cold. (I think it's time for everybody to re-read Julia Serano's groundbreaking book Whipping Girl with their sex brains on.)
There's a lot of resistance to thinking about the politics of sexuality in this way, which I totally get. Our sexualities are our own, they're personal, and in such a puritanical world any critique of sexuality can seem messed up. But our desires are absolutely influenced by our cultural context. When you really look at the way patterns of desire map onto what bodies are privileged and what bodies are marginalized, it becomes obvious that our desires are political. I am absolutely not about critiquing the way one person falls for another. The problem is with a community trend. When we leave sexuality trends unexamined, sex becomes a space where privilege and oppression run amuck.
It's well past time to say enough. If queer community wants to be about a gender and sexuality revolution it's got to take these questions seriously. Its got to address the ways cissexism overdetermines community approaches to sexuality. This is an ongoing process involving lots of thought, critique, and, well, processing. We've got to be able to move from the broad and systemic to seeing how cissexism plays out in our personal lives, including in relation to who and how we fuck.

Moving Forward: Wrapping Up A Roundtable On Asian American Feminism

Georgia Bill Would Allow Adoption Agencies to Turn LGBTQ People Away
Sexual harassment starts in school, and boy do we know it
By Tiffany Diane Tso • @tiffanydian • 3 years ago
Over dinner one night, a group of New York-based Asian organizers, activists and scholars gathered to discuss the questions: "Is Asian American Feminism necessary?" and "Am I part of Asian American Feminism?"
The questions come up often due, in part, to the myth of the "model minority," the dominance of East Asian issues within the space, and the subsequent erasure of all other Asian Americans.
These have been key takeaways for the organizers of the "Asian American Feminism" event series, which launched last year following the 2017 Women's March on Washington. Leaders from the New York City chapter of the National Asian Pacific American Women's ...

The Georgia state legislature is considering a bill that would allow adoption agencies to turn LGBTQ couples away. That's how much they hate us: they'd rather leave kids in foster care then let them be in our loving homes.
SB-375, also known as the "Keep Faith in Adoption and Foster Care Act," would allow child-placement agencies to refuse to work with potential parents if it violates their "sincerely held religious beliefs." As opponents pointed out on the Senate floor last week, it's obvious who the bill is targeting: if passed, taxpayer funded adoption agencies would be free to turn away qualified LGBTQ ...

I was horny in high school. Like many adolescent humans, sex ricocheted through my body like a summer storm.
If you've read any of my writing, however, you will not be even remotely surprised to know that my outspoken feminism and ability to scan Shakespearean meter did not bring the boys to the yard. And if you existed in Republican America in the aughts you will also not be surprised to hear that there were very few out queers. No date invitations, no making out behind the bleachers: at sixteen, not being considered sexually attractive was its own form of Hades.
I was also cast as the seductress in about six high school ...
