The Department of Africana Studies in the College of Arts and Humanities offers a major and a minor in Africana Studies. Africana Studies is primarily a peoples and culture-based discipline which investigates Africana peoples' experiences. These experiences range from earliest human civilizations through the tragic era of enslavement, colonization, uprootment, to the forced migration and displacement of African peoples. The intellectual framework that sets Africana Studies apart from other disciplines is that it explores the subject area from the perspective of Africana peoples' interests, aspirations, possibilities, and envisioned destinies. The foundation of the discipline rests on an understanding and appreciation of African peoples' worldview and philosophy of life as the starting point for all Africana intellectual inquiry. The BA degree and minor program offered by the department emphasizes an examination of the theoretical and empirical characteristics of the African world experience from both a contemporary and historical perspective.
The Department of Africana Studies participates in the University's M.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies (Special Major) program.
Interested candidates should contact the chair of Africana Studies, (310) 243-3040.
A Bachelor of Arts degree and minor in Africana Studies provide a solid factual and conceptual foundation of the history and the development of the African people and their societies. Students are encouraged to participate in practical learning by serving in internships or practicum in Africana communities locally, nationally, and internationally. In addition, students are encouraged to work concurrently with other disciplines in the College of Arts and Humanities, College of Natural and Behavioral Sciences, College of Business Administration and Public Policy and the College of Professional Studies.
All majors and minor students in Africana Studies are to have a faculty advisor. Students may either select an advisor or have one assigned to them. It is important that students work closely with an advisor in planning their academic programs because some required courses are offered on a one or two-year rotational basis. Transfer students should see an advisor before registering for any classes to determine if a course is transferable.
Career Possibilities
Persons with an Africana Studies background are employed in a wide range of careers such as counseling, social work, international consultant, Foreign Service, public relations, educational administration, media, management, urban planning, librarianship, law, and law enforcement. The Department of Africana Studies provides undergraduate training for students interested in developing careers in teaching, academic research, international relations and community development. Often graduate work is required in certain job categories.
High School students planning to major in Africana Studies at California State University, Dominguez Hills should have acquired written and oral communication as well as computational skills.
Opportunities to Study Abroad
The Department of Africana Studies provides students with the opportunity to study abroad, especially in Africa, the Caribbean, and South America. Please see the Department Chair for information.
There are no language requirements for Africana Studies degree programs. However, students are encouraged to study one or more of the African languages, and/or French, Spanish, and Portuguese.
An undergraduate student may be a candidate for graduation with Honors in Africana Studies provided he or she meets the following criteria:
A minimum grade point average of 3.5 in all courses used to satisfy the requirements in the major;
Four upper division courses, including AFS 490, taken in the Department of Africana Studies;

379. That these things are signified, is evident from what has gone before; and that to be "cursed" is to be averse to good, has been already shown (n. 245). For iniquities and abominations, or hatreds, are what avert man, so that he looks downward only, that is, to bodily and earthly things, thus to those which are of hell. This takes place when charity is banished and extinguished, for then the bond which connects the Lord with man is severed, since only charity, or love and mercy, are what conjoin us with Him, and never faith without charity, for this is no faith, being mere knowledge, such as the infernal crew themselves may possess, and by which they can craftily deceive the good, and feign themselves angels of light; and as the most wicked preachers are sometimes wont to do, with a zeal like that of piety, although nothing is further from their hearts than that which proceeds from their lips. Can anyone be of judgment so weak as to believe that faith alone in the memory, or the thought thence derived, can be of any avail, when everybody knows from his own experience that no one esteems the words or assenting of another, no matter of what nature, when they do not come from the will or intention? It is this that makes them pleasing, and that conjoins one man with another. The will is the real man, and not the thought or speech which he does not will. A man acquires his nature and disposition from the will, because this affects him. But if anyone thinks what is good, the essence of faith, which is charity, is in the thought, because the will to do what is good is in it. But if he says that he thinks what is good, and yet lives wickedly, he cannot possibly will anything but what is evil, and there is therefore no faith.

Q: Overwriting class methods without inheritance (python) First, if you guys think the way I'm trying to do things is not Pythonic, feel free to offer alternative suggestions.
I have an object whose functionality needs to change based on outside events. What I've been doing originally is create a new object that inherits from original (let's call it OrigObject()) and overwrites the methods that change (let's call the new object NewObject()). Then I modified both constructors such that they can take in a complete object of the other type to fill in its own values based on the passed in object. Then when I'd need to change functionality, I'd just execute myObject = NewObject(myObject).
I'm starting to see several problems with that approach now. First of all, other places that reference the object need to be updated to reference the new type as well (the above statement, for example, would only update the local myObject variable). But that's not hard to update, only annoying part is remembering to update it in other places each time I change the object in order to prevent weird program behavior.
Second, I'm noticing scenarios where I need a single method from NewObject(), but the other methods from OrigObject(), and I need to be able to switch the functionality on the fly. It doesn't seem like the best solution anymore to be using inheritance, where I'd need to make M*N different classes (where M is the number of methods the class has that can change, and N is the number of variations for each method) that inherit from OrigObject().
I was thinking of using attribute remapping instead, but I seem to be running into issues with it. For example, say I have something like this:
def hybrid_type2(someobj, a):
    #do something else
    ...

class OrigObject(object):
    ...
    def hybrid_fun(self, a):
        #do something
        ...

    def switch(type):
        if type == 1:
            self.hybrid_fun = OrigObject.hybrid_fun
        else:
            self.fybrid_fun = hybrid_type2

Problem is, after doing this and trying to call the new hybrid_fun after switching it, I get an error saying that hybrid_type2() takes exactly 2 arguments, but I'm passing it one. The object doesn't seem to be passing itself as an argument to the new function anymore like it does with its own methods, anything I can do to remedy that?
I tried including hybrid_type2 inside the class as well and then using self.hybrid_fun = self.hybrid_type2 works, but using self.hybrid_fun = OrigObject.hybrid_fun causes a similar error (complaining that the first argument should be of type OrigObject). I know I can instead define OrigObject.hybrid_fun() logic inside OrigObject.hybrid_type1() so I can revert it back the same way I'm setting it (relative to the instance, rather than relative to the class to avoid having object not be the first argument). But I wanted to ask here if there is a cleaner approach I'm not seeing here? Thanks
EDIT:
Thanks guys, I've given points for several of the solutions that worked well. I essentially ended up using a Strategy pattern using types.MethodType(), I've accepted the answer that explained how to do the Strategy pattern in python (the Wikipedia article was more general, and the use of interfaces is not needed in Python).

A: You want the Strategy Pattern.

A: Use the types module to create an instance method for a particular instance.
eg.
import types

def strategyA(possible_self):
    pass

instance = OrigObject()

instance.strategy = types.MethodType(strategyA, instance)

instance.strategy()

Note that this only effects this specific instance, no other instances will be effected.

A: Read about descriptors in Python.  The next code should work:
else:
    self.fybrid_fun = hybrid_type2.__get__(self, OrigObject)

A: What about defining it like so:
def hybrid_type2(someobj, a):
    #do something else
    ...

def hybrid_type1(someobj, a):
    #do something
    ...

class OrigObject(object):

    def __init__(self):
        ...
        self.run_the_fun = hybrid_type1

    ...
    def hybrid_fun(self, a):
        self.run_the_fun(self, a)

    def type_switch(self, type):
        if type == 1:
            self.run_the_fun = hybrid_type1
        else:
            self.run_the_fun = hybrid_type2

A: You can change class at runtime:
class OrigObject(object):
    ...
    def hybrid_fun(self, a):
        #do something
        ...
    def switch(self):
        self.__class__ = DerivedObject

class DerivedObject(OrigObject):
    def hybrid_fun(self, a):
        #do the other thing
        ...
    def switch(self):
        self.__class__ = OrigObject

Bio-Hazard Battle features a 2D side-scrolling shoot 'em up style of gameplay and the character chosen by the player can be moved in 8 directions by the D-Pad. The player can move, shoot, dodge, and block. To block an enemy projectile, the player must place the power star in the path of the projectile. There is also an array of different weapons at the ships' disposal.
The player will begin with a pre-set number of lives, from 1 to 5, 3 being the default. When a player is hit by a hostile creature or environment, their ship is destroyed and will reappear with one less life. Extra lives are attainable by absorbing 1-UP icons in the various stages, or reaching milestones for accumulating points without getting Game Over. 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 points are the first three.
Bio-Hazard Battle also features strong usage of deep, bass-heavy music tracks, creative and colorful artwork and foreground and background elements. Despite the many obstacles in the scenery and landscape, the player cannot be harmed or die by bumping into anything other than an enemy or enemy fire. Players can, however, die by being crushed between the screen's edge and a wall. Scrolling and enemy movement is extremely fast in comparison to other games of its time. The player travels through eight levels, each one increasing in difficulty, with the last three only being available on the harder difficulties.
At the ship selection screen, highlight the ship in the upper left-hand corner and press A + B + Start. You will begin as the all powerfull Dragon-bio 5.
At the level select screen, move the cursor to the last level and press A + B + C + Left. When the screen fades, press A + B + C + Left again. The display will register 5 lives, but they'll never decrease.
Turn on the game. When the Sega logo hold C. When the title screen appears, make a full clockwise circular motion with the D-pad, starting and ending in the Up position. You should hear a noise if the cheat worked. Release C and press Start to choose your level.
At the main menu, highlight the 2 PLAYER option, then hold Right and press Start. Don't release RIGHT until the ship selection screen appears. If your timing was right, both players will have the upper-right ship selected.
In the caves just past the guys that look like lips, go up to the upper left-hand corner. You will die and begin in a new level in a giant asteroid field. When you finish the level, you will return to level 4, the caves.

A company is drawing on university research to further develop a portable tech-enabled device that can cool, heat and compress muscles to treat common sports injuries.
The lightweight Swellaway, a shin guard-type electronic-enabled device with a fan that clips around the affected body part, does not require ice, water or heavy items of equipment that are normally needed to treat such injuries.
Swellaway shareholders include professional footballer Wayne Rooney, of Everton, Manchester United, D.C. United (Washington) and England fame, who is the lead investor in the company that bears the product's name.
The innovative piece of kit allows physiotherapists and healthcare professionals to accurately treat injuries through controlled compression, combined with cooling and heating in a fully portable device for the first time.
To draw upon the skillsets of researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), Swellaway's shareholders have sponsored a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) - where academic expertise is applied to private sector product development or work processes – so that Manchester Metropolitan University's Professor James Selfe can work along Professor Jim Richards from UCLan to help further develop the device.
Ligament sprains and muscle strains are common injuries, especially in sports, and it is important that action is taken soon after they occur to prevent further complications.
Currently, healthcare professionals and physiotherapists use the "POLICE" method to manage injuries – standing for Protection, Optimal Loading, Ice, Compression, Elevation.
However, most evidence summaries suggest that there is weak evidence to support the interaction between cooling and compression.
The Swellaway technology offers controlled compression combined with precise cooling and heating.
Manually operated by an attached control pad, the device accurately controls the temperature on the surface of the skin between 6°C and 40°C.
It can also control the rate of temperature increase and decrease, as well as control the level of compression.
In addition, it can control re-warming after cold treatment.
The company believes that it is these high levels of control that are key to successful rehabilitation.
For example, they will test whether the device is most effective when applied at cool temperatures at low pressures for a long period of time, or if it is better to apply it at warmer temperatures at high pressures for a short period of time.

Essay On Catastrophe of Man, Nature & Climate Change
Author Elizabeth Kolbert was a journalist for the New York Times. Her earlier articles on climate change during her years as an investigative journalist led her to do more research on the controversial and real topic of Global warming. Her book, titled: Field Notes from a catastrophe: Man, Nature and Climate change goes into precise details on her research and experiences on the adverse issues of global warming. The book's prose contains physio-geographical speak of climate change and its degenerative repercussions from region to region. The theme is fragmented into distinct views of the interaction between man and nature and the existing break-off (Kolbert, 2007).

Sobre este livro
"Arria, the wife of Cæcina Poëtus, a man of consular dignity, who died in the forty-second year of the Christian era. Her husband and son were both at the same time dangerously ill. The son died, but the mother concealed the distressing event from the sick father ; and whenever she appeared in his preseuce, assumed a cheerful countenance, and answered bis inquiries res pecting the deceased with so much courage and serenity, that she even prevented the suspicion of his death. When ber husband was confined at Rome by the command of Claudius, she insisted upon attending bim; and when the order came for hiin to destroy himself, observing his hesitation, she plunged a dagger in her breast; then presenting it, covered with blood, to her husband, exclaimed, in words celebrated by the ancients: 'Poetus, it is not painful!'
Tacitus' ANNAL.
At last the royal mandate came,
His hours were numbered now;
She marked the quivering of his frame,
The blanching of his brow.
• And is there withering fear,' she cried,
Read in a Roman's eye?
In life or death 't is by thy side
I live, or dare to die.'
Was this but lofty language breathed
With shrinking woman's art?
A moment more, and she had sheathed
The sword deep in her heart !
She placed within his hand the blade,
Warm with her life-blood's stain,
Smiling in fondness, as she said,
* Beloved ! this is not pain !'* Elizabeth-boun, (N. J.,) 1836.
B. 11. L.
Gentle READER — did you ever take a pleasure-ride of a fortnight or three weeks in a sail-boat ? If not, step on board with me, and I will show you, in my usual gossiping way, how to enjoy yourself, if you are willing to forego beds of down, and are content to rough it for a while in the open air. It is right good sport to take a sail-boat, such as I had, with a half-deck at the bow, under which two might creep, to sleep or get out of the rain, while the other steered for I always liked to have a man for each pair of oars, and one for the tiller, in case of necessity. But we depended most on
our sails. The boat was about five tons burthen, and rigged sloop fashion, with a topsail complete, and colors flying. She was just the thing,' exactly. Nor must I forget to mention an old half or rather quarterbarrel, with sand and bricks in it to prevent it from burning – for be it known that this was our stove, on which to boil a kettle, and broil a squirrel, duck, or piece of bacon and how delicious are these viands on the water, whil you are living all the time in the open air ! better than the best cookery of famed Astor's. Then, there are the sweet potatoes roasted, and not villanously boiled : it takes a man who has been on such a trip, to tell you what good living is. Wine only moderately good, becomes nectar; and the wild oranges
which you may pluck on any point of the river we are descending are about to sail down the St. John's, to coast it a while, and then run up the St. Mary's into Georgia. It is a new voyage to us - and what more can any man want, than novelty and excitement ? The risks of travelling in an open boat — of being overset or swamped in a gale — is enough of itself to make a man grow fat, with good cheer; but when all is novelty, it is well nigh happiness complete. That 'well nigh' means, that "Jadyes fayre' are wanting in our premises. Let us go on, however ; we may find some before we are through.
for we
* A very beautiful picture of this scene is in the possession of a gentleman of Trenton.
The wild sour orange -- (for there are two kinds of wild orange, the sweet and sour) - makes 'orangeade,' with good sugar, and by my faith, although it is not a very elegant drink, I have taken it with genuine yankee molasses, and contrived to live through it. But the syrup of the sugar-cane
is the thing.' This alone, with sour oranges, will enable a man to snap his fingers at bilious fevers and malaria, and will cure a sick man, too, sooner than all the nostrums of the apothecary shop. I am really serious. Give me my choice, and I would take these and good bacon, before all the doctor's stuff in the world — for I have seen them tried. But, with a provision-box well stored, let us go ahead.' The wind is fair, and the river black with a stiff breeze; and with our tiny topsail up, off we speed, with a salute from a rifle fowling-piece, and a pair of horse-pistols – all our stock of arms. Bear away, now, and coil all the tackle snug for squalls, and let us see who has more enjoyment in the world than we have. I guess nobody. The country is all wild no houses to be seen
- and only by close looking, can be discovered an Indian's wigwam ; for we are starting from our camp more than a hundred miles up the river, and are beginning to sail down.
But what is that in the water, looking like a snake, bearing along yonder ? It is a summer-duck, which swims with its body all under water, leaving only its head and slim, long neck out; it is called a snake-bird. Hand me the shot-gun for him, for- if the truth must be told - I am only a second-rate rifleman, and cannot be sure of such a small mark, while the boat is dancing, and the duck is slipping along at so rapid a rate. If I were still, and he were at rest, I might tell another story- for I have seen the heads of smaller birds slipped off before they knew what hurt them, but not often, when the bird and boat are both moving. Bang! then goes the shot-gun. Ten to one he is not hurt, even with this. You must catch him in a tree on the bank, if you wish to do any thing; there a rifle ball will pin him behind the knuckles of bis wings, without much doubt, from the shore or from the boat. I believe they sink if you hit them in the water, for all their feathers are wet as a scalded chicken's, and they cannot fly far before they perch in a tree and dry them. I do not remember to have picked up a single one after shooting at only his neck and head, although it may have been the case, since I shot and ate several on this excursion. I should not forget the squirrels on the banks : if you want one or two for supper with your bacon, it is best to go on shore and hunt a little ; you will soon find them. There is no time now; though the wind is fair, and roars under our bows : merrily sail we on,' and now is the time to look at the St. John's.
This river is much larger than most people have any idea of. In some places you cannot, when in the centre, distinguish with the naked eye a horse from a cow on either shore ; it contracts, however, in other places. We have little tempests in tea-pots here, for in Florida the wind blows at a small rate, sometimes, while the rain pours down, and the thunder snaps and cracks, and 'fires away, as If Beelzebub and all his tribe had broken loose, and Milton's veritable battle were being fought over again. It was during the rainy season, or more properly the thunder-and-lightning-season, that I started on my land-locked voyage of discovery. We had rain enough ; about five showers a day, on an average, came over us : and
look in any direction we might choose, we could see showers. Sometimes it would rain as hard as it could pour within two hundred yards of us, and yet not a drop touch us. These showers afford some relief for a time from the heat which comes down in regular streams, like blasts of caloric from a house-furnace; and even at night I have felt almost scorching currents of air out on the wide river. But by keeping in the shade of the sail, and having a good breeze almost always, I never suffered much from the heat. In truth, strange as it may appear, I have actually suffered more from heat at the north than south, and more from cold at the south than north. It is the sudden change, more than the degree of heat or cold, which we feel. But forget not, reader, that we are going ahead' all this time : the yellow-white bubbles are floating astern, and the green headlands and old fields once tilled by Spaniards, who are dead or far away, but which have not regained fertility by their long fallow are reached once in a long while; sometimes we go on shore to look if there be any old tame orange-trees, or fig or peach-trees, or any other fruits, that may happen to be in season but they are scarce enough on the upper part of the river.
But what is that we see over the wide reach ahead ? As I live, it is a square-rigged vessel! Don't you know what that is ?' says my man for as yet I had only one man on board, and was trusting to good fortune to ship another hand before two days' sail. 'Don't you know, Sir,' said he, what that is ?' •No. how should I ? — I have never seen it before. I suppose she is just in, and after live oak.' He laughed and replied, " That is the Flying Dutchman. Did you never hear of him before ? 'Oh yes,' said I, ' but I did pot know he was an old settler of Florida. May be he makes the St. John's his harbor ?' "You will find, Sir, before long, it is no joke. He will fly away before you know what you are about.' Very good — I'll watch him, and be bound for it, find out the mystery, how a squarerigged vessel, lying at anchor, can escape my ken.
I'll board him within two hours, and hear news from home : so brace out the jib, and give a little more sheet; then make us some good 'orangeade' to treat our friends, and load all the guns to salute them in style. The negro grinned, and went to work, saying, 'Guess you won't get many letters from the Flying Dutchman.'
Thus we drave along, he hard at work doing nothing, and I steering. The reach between where we were and the spectre-ship was fourteen or fifteen miles over, and there was plenty of time to tell a short story of a man living on the bank of the river just above. There was not much about him, only he could not read the nature of his little children, and was harsh and cruel. My feelings were never 80 lacerated as by his treatment of a little boy about four years of age. He was delicate, and possessed most acute feelings of affection; but they were never met by either of his parents; and when he was harshly reprimanded, he would fall into fits. His father kept a long ox-gad to whip him with, and his body was scarred all over; and when he crawled upon the bed to lay down his feeble limbs, the great gad was taken down, and he was jerked off, and then, from wounded feelings and terror, he rolled, choking and convulsed, upon the ground. This was called giving himself the strangest airs, for
which, to serve him right,' he should be skinned.' But this is a melancholy story. We will have a better.
One day, sitting with a young man in our camp, near the Devil's Elbow, we heard a most furious dashing of oars, and presently a boat was seen, full of live-oak cutters, and others, heading for us, with might and main. I was led to conclude something very important had happened, and that either the assistance of the young man with me, or my own, was wanting in some emergent case. This, indeed, was the fact. A dispute had happened between two of the cutters: one had sold another a pair of inexpressibles, for which he refused payment, as they had been worn out without doing, as the defendant said, fair service. This, however, was a mere excuse.
He did not wish to do justice, and he thought he could impose on the silly fellow who had sold him the garment. But the others took up
the quarrel, and said the rogue should be tried, according to law, and forced to pay. They had heard that the young man in my employ had a commission of justice of the peace, which was but partly true, as he had not been sworn in. All the laws of the territory had been sent to him; but he was too modest to accept the dignity. However, the excuse would not answer. Tried the culprit must be, and they turned to me to make them out a warrant. The spokesman - a half horse and half alligator fellow, with a knot on his shoulder as large as your fist from poling flat-boats up the St. Lawrence, and a slight limp from a shot, got by running past a Spanish guard in Mexico or Peru, when they hailed and bade him stop -- vowed that, regular or irregular, if I would only make out a paper, he would fetch him, or fetch a piece of him.'' Here,' said I to myself, 'is a chance for sport. Let us have a regular trial, and do such justice as shall shame all the lawyers in the world.'
I therefore sat down and wrote a rigmarole, with long words and odd Latin terms, as bad as you will find in the most mystified books of that parasitical profession, which has come down from the times of Woden and Thor, with very few improvements. I mean, I made out a right good law paper; and when I read it to them, they wondered at my learning, for they could not understand a word of it at all; it was, therefore, as awful as the big wigs and wide gowns, which hide the cracked skulls and misshapen bodies of the men who are appealed to for their precedents in all our courts. I told him to read that to him, and tell him to come, trusting to overcome the scru. ples of our modest young justice of the peace, by the time he could return. He went off, rolling an enormous quid of tobacco in his mouth, with his fists clenched, not because he loved justice so much as an excuse to exercise his physical powers in case of resistance; for he was a right down bad fellow, who swore on another occasion that he would even kill me, if ever he should see me alone near his camp; and no doubt he would have done so, had he dared to try it; but I easily put him down with a black scowl, for I felt my mental power over him. But he was an excellent bull-dog, and would have made a most capital leader of boarders for a pirate-captain. He recognised no law but force, and in this he excelled. He had not been gone more than an hour, before he returned with the culprit — a tall, half-bent fellow, of little less than six feet, when he straightened up.

Suspension Shocks for Mountain Bikes
(c) Mongoose Bikes
David Fiedler
David Fiedler is an experienced cyclist and author of "Ride Fit," a guide to cycling for fun and fitness.
If you're thinking about getting a mountain bike, do you need to get shocks on it? It depends. It used to be the case that most basic mountain bikes had no shocks, and only high-end bikes came with front shocks. But these days pretty much anything resembling a mountain comes standard with front suspension, while the full suspension is more common on mid-range to high-end machines. This discussion will help you decide whether you want front shocks or full suspension.
Bikes that have shocks only on the front wheel, called front-suspension, have earned the nickname "hardtail," owing to the fixed rear end of the bike. As full-suspension bikes came into wide use, hard-tails fell out of favor for a while, but now they're back as a popular option for many types of riding and terrain. As mentioned above, very few new mountain bikes come without front suspension, so the decision to go with or without front shocks is often moot. And the fact is, most mountain biking is more fun and easier on your body with front shocks.
How Front Shocks Help
The hardest hits a bike takes are in the front wheel, so front shocks are your first line of defense against taking a beating on the trail. But front shocks do more than help smooth the bumps. They also help you maintain control. Remember Newton's third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction? When your front wheel hits an obstacle, the wheel bounces back in a shock wave that runs through your bike and your body. This can throw off your balance and make your wheel do funky things, like take an abrupt turn off the trail. Front shocks absorb much of this energy exchange to help your wheel and everything else stay on track.
Full-suspension, or FS, bikes have front shocks and one or more rear shocks that provide suspension for the rear wheel. They are sometimes called "softtails." The rear shocks are some sort of spring or piston incorporated into the frame, and the rear part of the frame is hinged to allow the back wheel to move. Like front shocks, rear suspension absorbs energy from bumps and landings and has the same benefit of helping you maintain control. More than anything, rear suspension helps keep your rear wheel on the ground. This improves your control when descending and when climbing. If you've never ridden a full-suspension mountain bike, you'll be amazed when you do. You can descend much faster and with much better control than when riding a non-suspension or even a front suspension bike. You'll also notice that full-suspension means the bike isn't really designed for getting out of the saddle (pedaling when you're off the seat). This takes some adjustment.
Suspension Pros and Cons
It used to be that hardtails could accelerate faster and climb better than full-suspension bikes because they were lighter and you didn't lose any transfer of energy to the rear shocks -- some of the pedaling force is absorbed by the shocks as opposed to going directly to your drivetrain -- but today's full-suspension bikes are coming closer to hardtails now in that respect.
If you are riding bumpy terrain, you'll notice (and likely lament) the lack of rear suspension in a hardtail bike pretty quick, especially feeling it in your back and backside. I'm getting older (40+) and am a bigger rider, over 200 lbs., so for me, I have found that FS is the way to go. However, that's not the case for everyone. Hardtail bikes are perfectly good for many riders, and it remains true that the bike is lighter and maintains more transfer of power to the drivetrain so you can accelerate faster.
So try out a couple of bikes, and see what you like. Unless you absolutely don't want shocks or are only going to be riding very smooth trails, go ahead and get shocks, at least in front. Going for full suspension is more of a decision because of the expense and extra weight.

Aman Sandhu, Anne-Marie Copestake, Clarinda Tse, Margaret Salmon, Mathew Wayne Parkin and Renèe Helèna Browne, with Harriet Rose Morley and Bo Wielders
P/////AKT, Amsterdam
November 13—December 19, 2021
David Dale Gallery are excited to present I didn't think it would turn out this way, an exhibition of artists' moving image by Glasgow-based artists at P/////AKT, Amsterdam. The exhibition includes six short films by Aman Sandhu, Anne-Marie Copestake, Clarinda Tse, Margaret Salmon, Mathew Wayne Parkin and Renèe Helèna Browne.
I didn't think it would turn out this way takes its title from an essay on intimacy by affect theorist Lauren Berlant, and presents narratives which orbit the tacit complications of intimacy, shared experience, and the body in absence and presence.
In I you me we us (2018) Margaret Salmon centres moments of longing and physical togetherness; personal accounts of the influence of inheritance and monstrosity are exposed in Daddy's Boy (2020) by Renèe Helèna Browne; and local histories considering the necessity for communal recognition are recorded in A love (2019) by Anne-Marie Copestake. In Textures Gestures Meshes Measures (2021), Clarinda Tse considers desires for and experiments with occupation as a form of resistance; Aman Sandhu presents efforts towards a proximity and reshaping of personal-historical narratives in The Magic Roundabout (2021); and Mathew Parkin defines moments of lack, grief and detachment (of the self or another) in Vaseline (2018).
The films will be screened within an environment built by Netherlands-based artist collaborators Harriet Rose Morley and Bo Wielders. There will also be a publication available at P/////AKT and online featuring writing by Aman Sandhu and Mathew Wayne Parkin, designed by Phoebe Kerr, as well as a limited edition riso poster by Margaret Salmon.
I didn't think it would turn out this way has been programmed by Caitlin Merrett King, Programme Coordinator at David Dale Gallery, Glasgow, as the first part in an organisational exchange with P/////AKT, Amsterdam who will present an exhibition at David Dale Gallery in early 2022.

Q: CSS not loading on page within Magento 2 page I know this question is being asked all over Magento's stack exchange, but I can't get it to work. I'm trying to add some custom css to a page, and Chrome's console is reporting 404s when trying to load the css file. Developer mode is on, I've enabled the rewrite apache module, and my apache2.conf allows symlinks:
<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

Chrome's console:
GET (404) http://localhost/magento2/pub/static/version1496785793/adminhtml/Magento/backend/en_US/css/mybase.css

Here's my layout file (/MyCompany/MyModule/view/adminhtml/layout/myroute_profile_edit.xml)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="admin-2columns-left" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <head>
        <css src="css/mybase.css"/>
    </head>
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <block class="MyCompany\MyModule\Block\Adminhtml\Profile\Edit" name="mycompany_mymodule_profile_edit"/>
        </referenceContainer>
        <referenceContainer name="left">
            <block class="MyCompany\MyModule\Block\Adminhtml\Profile\Edit\Tabs" name="mycompany_mymodule_profile_tabs">
                <block class="MyCompany\MyModule\Block\Adminhtml\Profile\Edit\Tab\Profile" name="mycompany_mymodule_profile_edit_tab_profile"/>
                <action method="addTab">
                    <argument name="name" xsi:type="string">profile</argument>
                    <argument name="block" xsi:type="string">mycompany_mymodule_profile_edit_tab_profile</argument>
                </action>
                <block class="MyCompany\MyModule\Block\Adminhtml\Profile\Edit\Tab\TargetProfile" name="mycompany_mymodule_profile_edit_tab_targetprofile"/>
                <action method="addTab">
                    <argument name="name" xsi:type="string">target_profile</argument>
                    <argument name="block" xsi:type="string">mycompany_mymodule_profile_edit_tab_targetprofile</argument>
                </action>
            </block>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

I've also created 3 css files all having the exact same code:
MyCompany\MyModule\web\css\mybase.css
MyCompany\MyModule\view\adminhtml\web\css\myadmin.css
MyCompany\MyModule\view\frontend\web\css\myfrontend.css
body {
    background-color: lightblue;
}

And these are the steps I perform each time I change the css and xml files:

*

*Go to the var directory and remove everything in cache, page_cache, di, and generation.

*sudo php bin/magento setup:upgrade

*sudo php bin/magento setup:di:compile

*Go to pub/static and remove everything except ./.htaccess.

*sudo php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

*sudo php bin/magento indexer:reindex

*sudo chown -R www-data:www-data magento2 (root magento dir)

*sudo chmod -R 777 magento2

*Clear caches.
I've tried putting each of the 3 css files in my myroute_profile_edit.xml.
<head>
     <css src="css/mybase.css"/> or <css src="css/myadmin.css"/> or <css src="css/myfrontend.css"/>
</head>

After changing myroute_profile_edit.xml, and running the above steps, I get a 404 in Chrome's console, stating mybase.css or myadmin.css or myfrontend.css could not be found.

A: You need to specify the module that you are pulling the css from.
 <css src="MyCompany_ MyModule::css/mybase.css"/>

If you take a look into your pub/static folder, you will most likely see that your css files are correctly getting placed in your modules folder:

pub/static/adminhtml/Magento/backend/en_US/MyCompany_ MyModule/css/mybase.css

but the xml you have is pointing to

pub/static/adminhtml/Magento/backend/en_US/css/mybase.css

which can't find the file, as it's not there.


I took the 3d printing and my airsoft enthusiasm to the next level and created Printed airsoft. A service to make 3d printed parts for you. There are some products already available and you can ask for anything if you want something custom.
Are you able to print designs you don't own if you only charge for material/labour costs?
I'd assume so as that's one of the options at the bottom of the website.
If there is no copyright to it that prevents me to do so then yes.
Any "The Division" fans out there?
You should 3d print the 3d printer? unlimited money? lol 3d printing must be hassle hearing a printer whirr for like 3 hours if i was you i'd 3d print cs go maps for giggles.
I keep mine in my wife's office. Win-win.
At my college, there is a 3D printer, which the students can use, provided they're doing D&T (which I am ) and it's really awesome! But something as intricate as the T-Rex flash hider is too hard for me, so I might just have to order one!

Battle of the Potomac Recap
Clarksburg's Will Bertrand led Team Maryland to victory in the seeded boys race at the 7th Annual Battle of the Potomac Championship while the Maryland girls fell short to Team Virginia despite record-breaking performances from the top two Maryland girls.
Bertrand hit the first mile in 4:56 while in second place. He maintained his position through the first major climb of the two loop course. At that point he said that he was feeling good so he decided he might as well push to win the race. He moved into first at about the halfway mark and won the 7th annual Battle of the Potomac by 11 seconds with a time of 16:34.
Behind Bertrand, Maryland boys took four of the next five spots and put all ten scoring runners among the top fifteen scoring finishers. Maryland defeated Virginia 80 to 130 (the top ten runners from each state scored).
After the state championship meet last week, Bertrand took several days off, but ran on Thursday and Friday of this week to tune up for this race. He intends to run at the Footlocker Northeast Regional race in New York City next weekend where he says he just wants to be near the top.
In the photo shown above, Bertrand is breaking the finish line tape held by US Olympian Dathan Ritzenhein.
In the Battle of the Potomac girls race, Ellie Gonzalez of Catholic High School led from the gun while B-CC's Caroline Beakes held back in the pack. As with Bertrand, Beakes did not necessarily intend to give an all-out effort with the state meet just a week ago and another major race a week away (B-CC will travel to NXN regionals in Cary, North Carolina next weekend), but at the midway mark, she made a critical decision.
"I was close to the front so I decided to go for it," she said.
After one loop, Beakes was in fourth place but picked off two Virginia runners in the loop around the Christmas tree farm about two miles into the race. Unfortunately, it was not enough to help Team Maryland beat Team Virginia, but by chasing after Gonzalez, both Gonzalez and Beakes ran under the previous course record with times of 18:49 and 19:10 respectively.
Virginia runners took 8 out of the 9 spots behind Beakes to give Virginia the advantage over Team Maryland, 88 to 122.
Coaches Chad and Emily Young were the honorary coaches of Team Maryland and they were hoping to field their entire state-winning varsity team from B-CC to represent Team Maryland, but two of the top four were unable to attend. At the very least, it may have kept the race closer.
The B-CC girls team hopes to be competitive at the NXN Southeast Regional Championship next weekend. The Walter Johnson varsity boys team will also compete at NXN as well as several individuals from across Montgomery County.

Indian-origin UK doctor guilty of sex offences against 48 patients over 35 years
According to news reports from Scotland, the charges spanned between February 1983 and May 2018 and the offences mainly occurred at medical practices in North Lanarkshire.
By: PTI
April 15, 2022 08:26 IST
An investigation into his conduct was launched after one woman reported him in 2018. (Representational)
A 72-year-old Indian-origin doctor practicing in Scotland was on Thursday found guilty of sex offences against 48 female patients over 35 years.
Krishna Singh, a general practitioner (GP), was accused of kissing, groping, giving inappropriate examinations and making sleazy comments, charges that he had denied during a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
The GP insisted the patients were wrong and that some of the examinations were what he had been taught during medical training in India.

According to news reports from Scotland, the charges spanned between February 1983 and May 2018 and the offences mainly occurred at medical practices in North Lanarkshire, but also at a hospital accident and emergency department, a police station as well as during visits to patients' homes.
"The Crown case is that Dr Singh was in a routine of offending against women," prosecutor Angela Gray told the court.
"Sometimes subtle or camouflaged, other times obvious and flagrant. Sexual offending was part of his working life," she said.
Singh was seen as a respected member of the community, even awarded the royal Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) honour for his contribution to medical services.
An investigation into his conduct was launched after one woman reported him in 2018. The doctor went on to be convicted of 54 charges against the victims, the crimes mainly consisting of multiple sexual and indecent assault.
He was found not proven on nine other charges and not guilty on a further two. The judge hearing the case has deferred sentencing until next month and allowed Singh to be released on bail on condition that he surrendered his passport.
