Did you know that Sonic Electronix is an Authorized Retailer for nearly all major brands?
Most manufacturers have direct relationships with Sonic Electronix to allow us to better serve you. Some of our longest relationships include ones with Kicker, JVC, Scosche, Bazooka, and MA Audio.
Why should you purchase from Sonic Electronix and not other Authorized or Unauthorized Retailers?
Because we are an authorized and respected retailer, manufacturers honor your warranty request. Additionally, we take being an authorized retailer a step further than our competition. Our online "authorized" competitors typically allow you to return an item for warranty up to 30 days, but then require you go to the manufacturer from that point until the end of the warranty period. We understand and value your business, and we're ready to assist you with your issue from day 1 to the end of the warranty period. When comparing us to an unauthorized retailer, keep in mind that we promise to remain competitive with the prices, and we'll always do our best to beat, match or lower our price to one that is a fair deal for you and us. In addition to our low price promises, we ask that you factor in our established and successful business history with our customers. We've been in business since 2000 and we have a state of the art facility ready to help expedite your order and any support needs you may encounter after your purchase. In addition to our history, we staff an advanced technical support department and we have a hands-on, knowledgeable and trained sales team.
Superior Training at Sonic Electronix Should Not Go Unnoticed.
At Sonic Electronix, our employees receive frequent product training sessions both internally and from the manufacturers' representatives. In addition to product training, other departments are regularly trained in various procedures to make your shopping experience more pleasurable. We feel these important values we hold should be an important factor when you decide where to spend your hard-earned money. We never have desired to carry an image of "self-service" and we do not want you to feel like you have to call the manufacturer to receive intelligent product advice or support.
We are an Authorized Retailer for ALL of the brands listed below.


Why would the Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics care how a smartphone is made? Why would we want you to care?
Because God has given us the market process as the most powerful tool we have in a fallen world to serve each other with our gifts.
Yes, that's right. Smartphones allow thousands of dispersed people from across the globe to bring their gifts to serve people they don't even know, and most likely will never know.
Helping people without knowing who they are.
Helping people within the context of using your gifts as God has called you.
Markets bring people together without any one person in charge.
No one person has enough knowledge to create the things we use everyday.
Markets allow people to use their gifts to serve others.
Each one of us has a role in serving the common good.
The innovations which markets bring can benefit all of society.
Markets are the best form of poverty alleviation known to date.
Markets embrace the dignity inherent in our creation by allowing us to unleash our creativity.
So watch the video. Ask questions. This video is a tool to aid you as you work to integrate faith, work, AND economics.
Why do you care about how a smartphone is made? What lessons or observations have you noticed from watching the video? Leave your comments here.


Pain and drama are hurting our relationship. We were engaged. My ex and I broke up over his past infatuations with my best friend and I had a thing on a spring break with one of my good friends. But I told him about it as soon as I got back and confessed everything. Now him and my best friend do not talk anymore and we are trying to work things out.
I got drunk last night (by her encouragement) then my old guy friend called and came over (also by her encouragement). They stuck us in a bedroom. I was so mad about something my best friend was telling me about my ex fiance that I almost did stuff but stopped. But when he left I told them all kinds of stuff. Now I regret it and I'm sober and have no idea what to do. Please help me.
I would advise you to stay sober and spend some time alone. You are involved in too much drama and too little self-reflection.
You need to increase your own self-observation skills. You are far too busy paying attention to other people, and that is your main problem.
Spend some time alone and get to know yourself better. Take some time away from all this drama and learn to love yourself and take better care of yourself.
You are acting as if everyone else is in charge of your life, and you are just a victim. IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE THIS ATTITUDE, NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE FOR YOU.

Artist: Marc Zaref
Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 26 3/4" x 39 3/4" [68 x 101 cm], but it has not been trimmed (it was created that size). It is from the rare Cannes Film Festival release (from before Miramax agreed to distribute the movie). There are reproductions of this poster, but they measure 27" x 40", and this is absolutely the extremely rare original Cannes Film Festival one-sheet! We have only auctioned it once before in all our years of auctioning.
Note that this is one of 113 unfolded one-sheets in this Part III of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction that were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson (we auctioned 993 of his folded one-sheets in Part I of this auction, and we will auction the last 200 or so of his folded one-sheets in Part IV).
Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since!
But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world!
Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions!
As noted above, 113 of the unfolded one-sheets in this Part III come from this more remarkable collection.
This is a very rare opportunity to purchase great unfolded one-sheets from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled!
Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has creases and some faint smudges around the edges, with some creases scattered throughout. It had paper loss in the bottom left corner, and someone put paper tape on the back of that area and then trimmed it to the area of paper loss (see our image). The poster has two faint stains at the right end of the title. It has surface paper loss in the top center, in the black background and in the top corners and bottom right corner, caused by rough removal of tape.

CES - Logitech shows mini-wireless keyboard to control PC on TV
Logitech is showing off a mini-wireless keyboard designed for people who have connected their PCs to their TVs.
Dan Nystedt (IDG News Service) 08 January, 2008 09:03
AVA Distribution
Logitech plans to show off a mini-keyboard that controls a person's PC wirelessly from the comforts of their family room sofa.
The handheld QWERTY keyboard, called the diNovo Mini keyboard, is designed for people who have connected their PCs to their TVs, allowing them to access photos, videos and other content on the PCs as well as navigate the Web and watch downloaded shows on their TV, the company said.
The mini-keyboard uses Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology to control PC functions and includes hotkeys for media players and Web browsers, as well as page-up and page-down buttons that allow people to scroll when surfing the Web and zoom in and out of documents and images. Bluetooth has a range of around 30-feet from the PC, Logitech said.
The device also incorporates ClickPad, a round, thumb-sized pad for use in pointing, scrolling or clicking on a Web link. It can also be used as a media remote and a directional pad to navigate menus and make selections. The ClickPad is backlit in orange when in touch-pad mode, and green when it is in media-remote mode.
The keyboard keys are always backlit in orange to keep the device on the eyes.
The diNovo Mini keyboard is expected to go on sale in the U.S. and Europe in late January for US$149.99.

How to consult the Oracle?
I-Ching, is one of the oldest and most respected Chinese ancient oracle book. Many people regularly consult the oracle, looking for guidance or inspiration. The fundamental principle is based on the belief is that all activities are the result of interaction between positive, creative, masculine forces and negative, passive femine yin forces.
The I-Ching is composed of 64 hexagrams made up of six broken or solid (unbroken) lines, texts, and commentaries. Yang is represented by the unbroken lines and yin by the broken lines.
The basic symbolic unit is a trigram. The maximum number of trigrams formed by various combinations of three lines, either solid or broken - -, is eight. By combining indidviual trigrams the hexagram is formed the total possible is 64.
The yin force refers to the negative passive weak, and destructive. It is docile and female.
The yang force refers to the positive active, strong, constructive, it is virile and male. together in groups of six lines symbolize all possible situations, forms of change and institutions.
All you need are three coins and the the table below to decode and gain access to a source of profound wisdom as well as fascinating entertainment. The I-Ching text describes these changes and relates them to human affairs.
Step 2: Throw three coins together, note the facing side. First throw becomes the bottom line. Repeat 6 times. Majority of yang faces: All three yang faces -o- All three yin faces -x- Once you have tossed the coins and arrived at your hexagram, read the text several times and pay special attention to moving lines. They are the essence of the I-Ching.
The I-Ching `Grid' is a combination of both the horizontal and vertical grids forming a total of 64 squares.
To look up the meaning on a particular number on the "java enabled" I-Ching table, point to a particular number e.g. 34. and `hold' it there for a few seconds, you will get to see a box text that says: " Success through Patience ".
This is a short interpretation of I-Ching. There are many I-Ching books available in the market if you want to know the detailed meaning of each these squares. Some I-Ching books also further sub-divide this into different categories e.g. `People', `Places', `Occupations', `Articles', `Food', `Animals', `Plants', `Season', `Weather', `Colour', `Direction' and `Miscellaneous'.
The above is a short interpretation of I-Ching (Only if you had enabled `Java').
The above interpretation is sufficient for the casual user of I-Ching.

Quiznos Bankruptcy May Have Roots in Long Beach Franchisee's Suicide
Sarah Bennett
The former Quiznos on Spring St. in Long Beach
When Quiznos filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a Delaware court on March 14, most of the business-news chatter surrounding the move linked it with similar ones made recently by other fast food chains like Sbarro and Hot Dog on a Stick.
But behind Quiznos' claims that the poor economy and increased competition forced the Denver-based company to seek protection from its creditors, lie deeper financial issues that have been plaguing the "mmm-mmm toasty" brand for the last seven years, ever since a Long Beach franchisee committed suicide amid legal battles with the firm.
In 1998, Bhupinder "Bob" Baber drained his life savings to open and sustain two Quiznos in Long Beach, including one on Stearns St. near Bellflower Blvd. When the company allowed another Quiznos to open nearby in 2004 (against what he said was originally promised) and Baber's sales dropped, he claimed that he was unable to get help from the company.
By the end of 2004, Baber had formed the Quiznos Franchisee Association, a group for California franchisees to commiserate and hopefully bring changes to what was felt by some franchisees as unfair practices in the company.
Quiznos responded by terminating both of his franchises, citing customer complaints and failed corporate inspections. Baber felt his cancellation was retaliation for forming his group and responded with his own litigation, which resulted in more than a year of suits and countersuits that drained the franchisee of more than $100,000 in legal fees.
In October 2005, it was ruled that Baber's claims would be arbitrated in Denver (as his contract demanded), but Baber feared that traveling would cost him his job and whatever money he had left. A month later, Baber walked into the bathroom at his friend's Quiznos in Whitter and shot himself in the chest.
His suicide note—which calls for an investigation into what he calls Quiznos' "criminal" activities—was subsequently posted online by other franchisee organizations, members of which also expressed feeling trapped by the company's pricing and increasing royalty fees.
{loadposition latestbusiness}
After Baber's note was made public, a half-dozen class action lawsuits were filed against Quiznos by angry franchisees, including ones in Michigan, Wisconsin, New Jersey and Illinois. According to the company's own 2013 Franchise Disclosure Document, those class action suits have all been settled, but in 2012 alone, 14 more individual suits were filed by current and former franchisees.
All of the lawsuits allege claims similar to those asserted in the previously settled class actions, including that the defendants "engaged in fraudulent schemes to sell mandated essential goods at inflated prices and to sell franchise agreements, abusive couponing and discounting programs, and unlawful control over franchisees through a pattern of racketeering activity."
Whether the allegations are true or not, the affect the claims had on the number of current and potential franchisees is hard to deny.
At the height of Quiznos' popularity in 2006, there were more than 5000 stores in 50 states and 34 countries. Today, the company claims only 2100 stores. Comparisons between 2004 and 2013 franchise lists show that Long Beach once has as many as 12 Quiznos in city limits. Only one remains.
March 14's bankruptcy filing is another indication of the company's ongoing financial woes, though Quiznos' senior leadership already secured a pre-packaged restructuring plan that will reduce their debt by $400M while ensuring franchise stores remain open and are not affected.
In filing paperwork, however, the company says it currently has $626M in outstanding debts, which comes just two years after the company underwent another financial restructuring, this one out of court, which eliminated about $300M in debt and, according to Bloomberg, gave majority ownership to billionaire Marc Lasry's Avenue Capital Group LLC through a $150 million equity infusion and debt-to-equity swap.
Eight years after Baber's suicide, the Long Beach franchisee's fight for change at Quiznos may finally be seeing results. In a statement announcing the bankruptcy, Quiznos CEO Stuart Mathis said the restructuring will allow the company to follow through on its new business plan which puts more support into its franchisees.
"The actions we are taking are intended to enable Quiznos to reduce our debt, execute a comprehensive plan to further enhance the customer experience, elevate the profile of the brand and help increase sales and profits for our franchise owners," Mathis said. "Our business plan includes several key elements aimed at supporting our franchisees, including reducing food costs, implementing a franchise owner rebate program, in certain circumstances making loans available to franchisees for restaurant improvements, investing in advertising to improve location awareness, and providing new incentives for prospective franchisees."

Any scoop on other cities that will follow?
If the idea of developer day is to put developers in contact with Google engineers, wouldn't Belo Horizonte be the natural choice in Brazil instead of São Paulo, since the engineering teams AFAIK are in BH and São Paulo office is more of a sales/marketing one?
Is there really any point trying to get people to use Google Application engine in China?
It is more or less made useless by the firewall.
I should probably also add that blogspot.com is blocked in China so most people in China are not going to be reading this.
When will you set a Google Developer Day in Algeria?
any possible to have one in Taipei??
When is planned to do the Google Developer Day 2009 for Spain? End of September, 2009?
Will there be a developer day this year in London (UK) ?


It's been a very long time since my last update… Almost a year and a half, even. So I think a new post is way overdue. And with a new post comes a new announcement!
I finally got round to finishing up a new website. And you're on it right now!
I spent about 5 months on and off working on this site, so I hope you'll like it as much as I do :). From now on, this will be the central place where I'll post all my games, general blogposts and devlogs.

Over the past few decades, the amount of trash our society has generated has grown significantly. In an effort to preserve the environment, both the United States and Japan, both highly developed countries, have placed a tremendous effort into promoting recycling and reducing the amount of waste that is generated. However, through my time spent in both countries, it is clear that there are differences that exist in their approach to trash disposal.
Having traveled throughout Japan, it is evident that there are few trashcans in public areas. However, the streets remain in pristine condition as people carry their trash and dispose of it at home. Wherever there are trashcans, there are multiple containers where people can put their recyclable material. The trashcans are clearly labeled with pictures and diagrams, indicating the type of trash they contain. Typically, the containers are divided into plastic containers, bottles or cans, and combustible trash.
Trash cans at Kobe University.
Japan places great effort into properly separating trash. When I was in Hiroshima, I attended a festival where there were crowds of people celebrating. As I was walking along the streets, I noticed large trash containers that were being monitored by workers who were making sure the trash was correctly disposed of. Even in our Kobe University dormitory, there are trashcans that categorize specific materials, and these various types of trash have specific collection days and times. However, despite these efforts, I have noticed that there are not specific containers to dispose of cardboard or paper. These items tend to fall under the category of "combustible trash" and are incinerated with other trash. In the United States, although there is a greater presence of trashcans in public places, often times, they are not accompanied by a recycling bin. All trash tends to be placed in a single container. In areas that do encourage recycling, there is typically just a trashcan and a recycling bin to put all recyclable material. The material is not separated as thoroughly as it is in Japan.
A trash disposal area by Kobe University dorms.
Japan also has to tackle waste disposal from an alternate approach as there is a limited amount of space for large landfill sites. Waste management companies have thus resorted to incinerating their trash. Although in the past this has created an overproduction of dioxin emissions and has severely polluted the environment, new technologies have emerged to eliminate the dioxin in smoke. Other efforts such as using the heat generated from burning trash to produce electricity have increased the sustainability of Japan's disposal of municipal solid waste. In the landfill sites that do exist, the landfills tend to be semi-aerobic, meaning that they provide partial exposure to natural air and contain pipes that help treat polluted water. This decreases the amount of greenhouse gases produced and allows the waste to stabilize faster so the area can later be transformed into areas such as parks. This was specifically seen at Sakai Solar Energy Generation Plant, which was formerly landfill site, but now holds thousands of solar panels. On the contrary, the United States has far more available land to serve as landfill sites and has disposed of the majority of its trash in these areas.
Solar panels at Sokai, a former landfill area.
Recycling, in all cases, decreases the waste stream that is produced. This is of particular importance in Japan because again, there is simply no space to hold a magnitude of trash. Japan's densely populated cities make it even more imperative to reduce the amount of trash as high levels of trash could contaminate an area quickly. This, in turn, has impacted its disposal practices as trash is burned to reduce the amount of space it takes up. This has also led to its emphasis on recycling so that every material that is used does not go to waste.
As countries become greater aware of the impact waste can have on the environment, they have been placing a greater emphasis on reducing the amount of trash produced and creating laws to encourage reducing, reusing, and recycling. Although improvements can always be made in these systems, the United States and Japan have placed substantial effort to find a system that works for its own country's needs.

Abstract: In this essay, I defend an account of trans oppression and resistance that departs from the prevailing transgender model. While I show why both the "trapped in the wrong body" model and the transgender model are problematic, I also illuminate how the former can be seen as a resistant narrative. The new account has two key ideas. First, I draw from María Lugones's work to defend a model of multiple meanings, arguing that the traditional accounts assume dominant meanings while foreclosing resistant ones. Second, I draw from the recent literature on the transphobic representation of trans people as deceivers to argue that reality enforcement is an important consequence of dominant ways of doing gender. The traditional wrong-body narrative can be seen as resisting reality enforcement.
Comment: This article can pair well with teaching on gender or transgender / queer philosophy. Compliments the work of Rachel MacKinnon.

Keywords: body, dualism, eating disorder, feminism, reproduction
Added by: Simon Fokt, Contributed by:
Diversifying Syllabi: Bordo claims that the recent increase in women with Anorexia is a symptom of the "central ills" of our culture. Bordo discusses three sources of this "cultural illness" which leads to anorexia: the dualist axis, the control axis, and the gender/power axis. She spends the bulk of the paper discussing each "axis" or problematic component of society which is reflected back to us in the increasing diagnosis of anorexia. These "psychopathogolgies" are expressions of the culture, she claims.
Comment: This text is most readily applicable in teaching feminist theory and social philosophy. However, it is also very useful in at least three other contexts: (1) as a critical approach to mind-body dualism, especially when teaching on Descartes or Plato's Phaedo; (2) in teaching on the ethics of mental illness and the anti-psychiatry movement, as an example of socially constructed disorders; and (3) more broadly in teaching on personal and collective moral responsibility.

Abstract: Suppose that you are soon to be a parent and you learn that there are some simple measures that you can take to make sure that your child will be healthy. In particular, suppose that by following the doctor's advice, you can prevent your child from having a disability, you can make your child immune from a number of dangerous diseases and you can even enhance its future intelligence. All that is required for this to happen is that you (or your partner) comply with lifestyle and dietary requirements. Do you and your partner have any moral reasons (or moral obligations) to follow the doctor's advice? Would it make a difference if, instead of following some simple dietary requirements, you consented to genetic engineering to make sure that your child was free from disabilities, healthy and with above average intelligence? In this paper we develop a framework for dealing with these questions and we suggest some directions the answers might take.
Comment: This paper is an especially good inclusion in any bioethics course that has units on both disability and enhancement, covering issues at the intersection of these topics – indeed, it could be used quite effectively as a "transition paper", bridging a unit on the former topic with a unit on the latter. The piece pairs particularly well with Michael Sandel's, "The Case Against Perfection", and should be suitably accessible to all students, requiring very little philosophical background.

Boyle, Deborah, and . Expanding the Canon of Scottish Philosophy: The Case for Adding Lady Mary Shepherd

Categories: 19th Century Philosophy, History of Western Philosophy, Mary Shepherd, Miscellaneous , Philosophy of Gender, Philosophy of Gender, Race, and Sexuality, Teaching Philosophy, Value Theory , Women in Philosophy
Keywords: canon, early modern philosophy, women philosophers
Added by: Benny Goldberg, Contributed by:
Abstract: Lady Mary Shepherd (1777-1847) argued for distinctive accounts of causation, perception, and knowledge of an external world and God. However, her work, engaging with Berkeley and Hume but written after Kant, does not fit the standard periodisation of early modern philosophy presupposed by many philosophy courses, textbooks, and conferences. This paper argues that Shepherd should be added to the canon as a Scottish philosopher. The practical reason for doing so is that it would give Shepherd a disciplinary home, opening up additional possibilities for research and teaching. The philosophical reason is that her views share certain features characteristic of canonical Scottish philosophers.
Comment: A good paper for any classes on how to teach philosophy, on early modern philosophy, the philosophy of history, or feminism
Brake, Elizabeth, and . Rawls and Feminism: What Should Feminists Make of Liberal Neutrality?
2004, Journal of Moral Philosophy 1 (3):293-309.
Categories: Philosophy of Gender, Race, and Sexuality, Social and Political Philosophy, Value Theory
Keywords: Rawls, feminism, formal and substantive equality, liberalism, neutrality, private and civil society
Added by: Carl Fox, Contributed by:
Abstract: I argue that Rawls's liberalism is compatible with feminist goals. I focus primarily on the issue of liberal neutrality, a topic suggested by the work of Catharine MacKinnon. I discuss two kinds of neutrality: neutrality at the level of justifying liberalism itself, and state neutrality in political decision-making. Both kinds are contentious within liberal theory. Rawls's argument for justice as fairness has been criticized for non-neutrality at the justificatory level, a problem noted by Rawls himself in Political Liberalism. I will defend a qualified account of neutrality at the justificatory level, taking an epistemic approach to argue for the exclusion of certain doctrines from the justificatory process. I then argue that the justification process I describe offers a justificatory stance supportive of the feminist rejection of state-sponsored gender hierarchy. Further, I argue that liberal neutrality at the level of political decision-making will have surprising implications for gender equality. Once the extent of the state's involvement in the apparently private spheres of family and civil society is recognized, and the disproportionate influence of a sexist conception of the good on those structures—and concomitant promotion of that ideal—is seen, state neutrality implies substantive change. While—as Susan Moller Okin avowed—Rawls himself may have remained ambiguous on how to address gender inequality, his theory implies that the state must seek to create substantive, not merely formal, equality. I suggest that those substantive changes will not conflict with liberal neutrality but instead be required by it.
Comment: A sympathetic treatment of Rawls's Political Liberalism from a feminist perspective. It introduces the alleged clash between liberalism and feminism in a clear way and goes on to argue that (political) liberalism's commitment to substantive rather than merely formal equality makes it compatible with core feminist concerns.

Brand, Peg Zeglin, and . Beauty as Pride: A Function of Agency'
2011, APA Newsletter 10(2): 5-9.
Categories: Aesthetic Representation, Aesthetic Representation and Meaning, Aesthetics, Feminism: Disability, Philosophy of Gender, Race, and Sexuality, Value Theory
Keywords: Ann Millett-Gallant, Joel-Peter Witkin, beauty, disability, objectification
Added by: Hans Maes, Contributed by:
Abstract: This is basically a paper about artistic evaluation and how multiple interpretations can give rise to inconsistent and conflicting meanings. Images like Joel-Peter Witkin's First Casting for Milo (2004) challenge the viewer to look closely, understand the formal properties at work, and then extract a meaning that ultimately asks, Is the model exploited or empowered? Is Karen Duffy, pictured here, vulnerable and "enfreaked" or is she potentially subversive, transgressive, and perhaps self-empowered? I will offer an argument in agreement with artist/author/ performer Ann Millett-Gallant that favors the latter interpretation, but will augment and complicate the issue by also introducing a pointed question or two taken from a recent analysis by Cynthia Freeland on objectification. I judge the works by photographer Joel-Peter Witkin to be representations of disabled persons who are empowered through agency and pride, but I also worry about the risk of multiple, conflicting interpretations on the part of viewers who do not, or cannot, entertain such enlightened readings. Like second wave feminist views about pornography that depicted women in demeaning ways, or feminist critiques of Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party , Witkin's photos can be judged as potentially offensive. But they are also objects of beauty – both in terms of aesthetic properties (they are magnificent studies in black and white, shadows, the human body, with many classical references) and because of the feeling of beauty and pride felt by the posers, who become performers of their own beauty and pride. I argue that beauty trumps offensiveness. Pride wins. But I'm not sure that everyone will agree.
Comment: Questions the ideal standard of beauty portrayed throughout the history of art, particularly in form of the female nude, and examines works of art that defiantly challenge that ideal. Argues that in certain representations of disabled persons the model is empowered and not exploited and that beauty trumps offensiveness. Pride wins.

Brand, Peg Zeglin, and . Glaring Omissions in Traditional Theories of Art
2000, in Theories of Art Today, ed. by Noel Carroll (London: The University of Wisconsin Press)
Categories: Aesthetics, Art and Artworks, Definition of Art, Feminist Aesthetics, Philosophy of Gender, Race, and Sexuality, Value Theory
Keywords: art classification, artworld, feminism
Abstract: I investigate the role of feminist theorizing in relation to traditionally-based aesthetics. Feminist artworks have arisen within the context of a patriarchal Artworld dominated for thousands of years by male artists, critics, theorists, and philosophers. I look at the history of that context as it impacts philosophical theorizing by pinpointing the narrow range of the paradigms used in defining "art." I test the plausibility of Danto's After the End of Art vision of a post-historical, pluralistic future in which "anything goes," a future that unfortunately rests upon the same outdated foundation as the concept "art.".
Comment: This text offers an overview of the feminist critique of the classificatory project. It assumes some basic knowledge and is best used after the main modern theories of art have been introduced. The pointed critique and clearly stated suggestions for constructing unbiased theories, make it excellent at inspiring a critical discussion on the subject of universalism and discrimination in both art practice and theory. Perhaps more importantly, the argument offered and the long lists of female artists and art theorists which support it, can have an empowering and validating role to many female students.

Bright, Liam Kofi, Daniel Malinsky and Morgan Thompson. Causally Interpreting Intersectionality Theory
2016, Philosophy of Science 83(1): 60–81
Categories: African/Africana Philosophy, Causal Modeling, Causal Reasoning, Epistemology, Formal Epistemology, Intersectionality, Metaphysics & Epistemology , Philosophical Traditions, Philosophy of Gender, Philosophy of Gender, Race, and Sexuality, Philosophy of Race, Philosophy of Social Science, Science, Logic & Mathematics , Value Theory
Abstract: Social scientists report difficulties in drawing out testable predictions from the literature on intersectionality theory. We alleviate that difficulty by showing that some characteristic claims of the intersectionality literature can be interpreted causally. The formal-ism of graphical causal modeling allows claims about the causal effects of occupying intersecting identity categories to be clearly represented and submitted to empirical test-ing. After outlining this causal interpretation of intersectional theory, we address some concerns that have been expressed in the literature claiming that membership in demo-graphic categories can have causal effects.
Comment: This text contains a summary of some key concepts in intersectionality theory and a discussion of how they have been used in empirical sociological research, as well as an introduction to methods of causal statistical inference. Students needing an introduction to any of these things could therefore benefit from this text. It also contains arguments about the permissibility of using demographic categories as the basis of causal claims that may be interesting matters of dispute or discussion for students of the philosophy of race.

Broad, Jacqueline, and Karen Detlefsen. (eds.) Women and Liberty, 1600-1800: Philosophical Essays
2017, Oxford University Press.
Categories: Autonomy, Feminist Political Philosophy, Free Will, Metaphysics & Epistemology , Philosophy of Action, Philosophy of Gender, Race, and Sexuality, Social and Political Philosophy, Value Theory
Keywords: Liberty, ethics, feminism, genre, meta-philosophy, metaphysics, social-political philosophy, women
Added by: Francesca Bruno, Contributed by:
Publisher's Note: This book addresses the theme of liberty as it is found in the writing of women philosophers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, or as it is theorized with respect to women and their lives. It covers both theoretical and practical philosophy, with chapters grappling with problems in the metaphysics of free will (both human and God's), the liberty (or lack thereof) of women in their moral, personal lives as well as their social-political, public lives, and the interactions between the metaphysical and normative issues. The chapters draw upon writing of both women and men, and notably, upon a wide range of genres, including more standard philosophical treatises as well as polemical texts, poetry, plays, and other forms of fiction. As such, this book alerts the reader to the wide range of conceptions of what counts as a philosophical text in the early modern period. Several chapters also grapple with the relation between early modern and contemporary ways of thinking about the theme of women and liberty, thus urging the reader to appreciate the continuing importance of these earlier philosophers in the history of philosophy and of feminism. Ultimately, the chapters in this text show how crucial it is to recover the too-long forgotten views of female and women-friendly male philosophers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, for in the process of recovering these voices, our understanding of philosophy in the early modern period is not only expanded, but also significantly altered toward a more accurate history of our discipline.
Comment: This volume covers ethical, political, metaphysical, and religious notions of liberty, including chapters on women's ideas about the metaphysics of free will and chapters examining the topic of women's freedom (or lack thereof) in their moral and personal lives. Some of the papers in this collection could be assigned individually in an undergraduate early modern survey course; or it could be one of the main texts for a more advanced (undergraduate or graduate) course on the topic of liberty/freedom, from a variety of philosophical perspectives (ethical, political, metaphysical, and religious).

Broad, Jacqueline, and . Women Philosophers of the Seventeenth Century
2002, Cambridge University Press.
Categories: 17th/18th Century Philosophy, Anne Conway, Cambridge Platonism, Feminist History of Philosophy, History of Western Philosophy, Margaret Cavendish, Mary Astell, Philosophy of Gender, Race, and Sexuality, Value Theory
Keywords: early modern philosophy, history of modern philosophy, women philosophers
Added by: Alison Stone, Contributed by: Karen Green
Publisher's Note: In this rich and detailed study of early modern women's thought, Jacqueline Broad explores the complexity of women's responses to Cartesian philosophy and its intellectual legacy in England and Europe. She examines the work of thinkers such as Mary Astell, Elisabeth of Bohemia, Margaret Cavendish, Anne Conway and Damaris Masham, who were active participants in the intellectual life of their time and were also the respected colleagues of philosophers such as Descartes, Leibniz and Locke. She also illuminates the continuities between early modern women's thought and the anti-dualism of more recent feminist thinkers. The result is a more gender-balanced account of early modern thought than has hitherto been available. Broad's clear and accessible exploration of this still-unfamiliar area will have a strong appeal to both students and scholars in the history of philosophy, women's studies and the history of ideas.
Comment: The book is organised around six authors: Elisabeth of Bohemia, Margaret Cavendish, Anne Conway, Mary Astell, Damaris Masham and Catherine Trotter Cockburn. The book focuses on their relations to Cartesianism and this means the book can be readily used on a history of modern philosophy course. It can be treated as introducing the ideas of all the women philosophers just mentioned and, e.g., a chapter could be further reading each week accompanying primary texts by the women philosophers in question.

Characters – The Dragon Lord's Saga
The Dragon Lord's Saga
The Dragon Lord's Medallion
A young woman in her early twenties, Eoin has lived a secluded life. Brought to an experimental facility at a young age, she has been part of a research program that focuses on the mind and brain. Specifically, how the brain can be used to manipulate matter and interact with the minds of others. As a result Eoin has poor social skills and only very little experience with independence.
Eoin should not be mistaken for a pushover, though she often observes her surroundings rather than interact with them. She has a highly developed sense of moral and empathy due to her unusual ability to read other people's emotions. As a result of this she does have some trouble hiding her emotions and reacts strongly, when angered or embarrassed.
She has only little memory of her past, where she most notably remember her father and the medallion he gave her, when she was very young.
The younger feral dragon has been kept in captivity for several generations. Foul tempered and unpredictable it is feared and kept away from the other dragons. Many Enchanters have tried to tame the creature without any succes. They have also attempted to use it in breeding, but due to its fickle nature all attempts ended badly, and a lot of people were hurt. Still seen as a possible invaluable asset, Empress Ione insists on keeping the creature locked up. It remains in its cell, where no one dare go near it.
Gilbert Emmerick
A young and powerful Enchanter, Gilbert is the son of Empress Ione's steward, Sir Emmerick. Willful and arrogant he believes himself to be destined for greatness and continuously seeks out opportunities, that can give him exactly that. These qualities are greatly encouraged by his father, though those two have a strained relationship.
He is a talented fighter and has great control of fire and telekinesis, which makes him a deadly combatant. Brought up in high society of the Enchanters, he has a great insight into how their world functions and connections with some of the most powerful men and women in their society.
He is known to be charming and resourceful, and though he seems entirely spoiled, many have experienced that there is something hidden beneath the surface.
Empress Ione
As empress of the Enchanters, Ione is highly revered among her people. Clever and an expert strategist she has managed to keep her reign peaceful. Unfortunately, she has only ever managed to maintain an uneasy truce with the people to the north, who are known to the Enchanters as The Black Ones. This means that she must seek out new alliances in order to keep their territory safe.
There are a lot of eyes watching her closely and expecting her to fail in her task. All the while distant family has gathered around her to watch her, since she has no heir. The empress knows that her entire future of her people rests on her shoulders, and she is expected to save them.
She is very powerful, even in her sickly state, and only very few are bold or stupid enough to take her on directly. As a master manipulator, however, it rarely comes to a physical confrontation and disputes are handled with… diplomacy.
Sarl Gares
As an advisor and general to Empress Ione, Sarl Gares is a seasoned officer, who has extensive knowledge. Other than his impressive skills in combat, he is also very wise and clever. It is his job to be several steps ahead of everyone else – a task he does not take lightly. His expertise makes him an excellent mentor in both combat and strategic advice.
Though Sarl can seem harmless, when you first meet him, it would be a mistake to underestimate him. Though not an Enchanter himself, his skills and ability to analyze his opponent makes him extremely dangerous. Only the most talented Enchanters should spar with him, and even then there is no guarantee that they will succeed.
As part of the Royal Guard, Sarl Gares wears armor and clothing that has him completely covered at all times. It also has the benefit of people being extremely weary of him.

Q: Best way to partition in LINQ Considering a table like this

Id
Date

1
30/07/2022

1
29/07/2022

1
28/07/2022

2
15/07/2022

3
15/07/2022

3
14/07/2022

How do you write a linq query to get this result? (in one query of course, and without any loop)

Id
Date

1
30/07/2022

2
15/07/2022

3
15/07/2022

Or to specify it clearly, the closest date by Id
It's easy to write this in SQL but I can't find a satisfying way to do it in LINQ

A: var result = table
    .GroupBy(t => t.Id)
    .Select(t => new { Id = t.Key, Date = t.Max(o => o.Date)})
    .ToList();

A: Thera are the ways that I know, if you need all fields from table, not just Date.
EF 6 and EF Core 6 +
var query =
    from c in db.Some
    group c by new { c.Id } into g
    select g.OrderByDescending(c => c.Date).First();

Other versions and probaly other providers
// make common variable because it may be query with filter
var data = db.Some;

var query =
    from d in data.Select(d => new { d.Id }).Distinct()
    from c in data
        .Where(c => c.Id == d.Id)
        .OrderByDescending(c => c.Date)
        .Take(1)
    select c;

Fastest variant via linq2db
var query =
    from c in db.Some
    select new
    {
        c,
        RN = Sql.Ext.RowNumber().Over()
            .PartitionBy(c.Id)
            .OrderByDesc(c.Date)
            .ToValue()
    } into s
    where s.RN == 1
    select s.c;

Ashura observed peacefully in Valley
By Junaid Nabi Bazaz on 1:26 am August 20, 2021 No Comment
SRINAGAR: Amid partial restrictions, the Ashura procession on the 10th day of Muharram was peacefully taken out on Thursday in many parts of Kashmir. Eyewitnesses told Kashmir Reader that a procession was taken out from Bota Kadal which culminated at Zadibal in Srinagar. From many other places processions were taken out which also culminated at Zadibal.
The government had imposed restrictions at many places including at Abi Guzar, Khanyar, Hawal, Lal Chowk, Jahangir Chowk, Kothi Bagh, Habba Kadal, Nowhatta and others.
Mourners, in thousands, marching in procession and chanting religious slogans on the streets of Srinagar were seen. On Tuesday, dozens of mourners had been detained by police as they attempted to take out a procession in Lal Chowk. Police had also resorted to tear gas shelling and baton charge on the day. Thursday, however, remained peaceful.
A prominent Shia religious leader from north Kashmir's Pattan was detained a day before the Youm-e-Ashura. Manzoor Ahmad Malik, who has studied religion and philosophy for 20 years in Iran, was detained after he was summoned to Pattan police station. Muzamil, his cousin, told Kashmir Reader that he was asked by police to present himself at the police station, but he was not released later.
Markets were also partially open, but there was no rush of customers. A shopkeeper told Kashmir Reader that the sales of the day were not even one percent of a normal business day. Public and private transport, however, remained normal on the roads. Government offices were shut, too.
Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, Vijay Kumar and other officers visited downtown Srinagar and interacted with Muharram mourners. Police also set up a water and refreshment point at Zadibal for people participating in Muharram processions. Many similar stalls where water and other drinks were distributed were seen set up at several places by civilians.

Ekweremadu blasts police for tagging assassination attempt as burglary
Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu yesterday threatened to release video clips on the assassination attempt on him and displayed contempt on how the Police tagged the assassins as mere burglars.
Ekweremadu said he may be forced to actualise his threat to release the video clip, if the Police fail to withdraw its claim that what happened in his house was a mere case of burglary, The Nation reports.
The Senate resolved to ask the police to do a thorough investigation of the alleged assassination attempt on Ekweremadu, his wife and son in the early hours of Tuesday.
The upper chamber said the conclusion that the incident was a case of burglary appeared to be hasty.
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe (Abia South), who raised the issue, prayed the Senate to condemn the hasty conclusion by the Police that the invasion of Ekweremadu's residence was a mere burglary case.
Ekweremadu said a Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of operations visited his house with the FCT Police Commissioner on Tuesday afternoon to sympathise with him.
"I showed them round and of course they were very sympathetic of what happened."
He also informed the Senate that he was shocked when he woke up yesterday morning to hear police saying that what happened in his house was "a mere case of burglary".
Ekweremadu said:
"I am at a loss because as we speak, they have not taken any statement from my son, who was hospitalised; they have not gone to the hospital to find out what exactly happened to my son. They have invited security personnel attached to me, who reported yesterday. Some are still reporting this morning.
"They (the Police) looked at the CCTV tapes operated by the DSS and a staff of my house; apparently they were not able to figure it out. So, it was easy for them to quickly dismiss what really happened."
He noted that he has been able to figure out the correct picture of what happened and added that he now has the video clip.
"Unfortunately for them, later yesterday evening, a technician came and was able to figure out and was able to produce the CCTV footage, including how they gained entrance into my house and how they got a way into my room and the fight between them, my wife and my son and all the efforts we made to save our lives. I am happy that we have that in our custody, which the police is not aware of.
"I may now be forced to release those footage to the media, international communities so that Nigerians and ordinary people will judge whether it was a case of burglary or attempt to kill me or whether they just want to come to my house to have a breakfast or have a handshake with me."

Three Years With Quantrill A True Story Told By His Scout
Author: John Mccorkle
Editor: John Mccorkle
This famous memoir by John McCorkle, is the best published account by a scout who "rode with Quantrill." John McCorkle was a young Missouri farmer of Southern sympathies. After serving briefly in the pro-Confederate Missouri State Guard, he became a prominent member of William Clarke Quantrill's infamous guerrillas, who took advantage of the turmoil in the Missouri-Kansas borderland to prey on pro-Union people.

Guerrilla Warfare In Civil War Missouri Volume Iv September 1864 June 1865
Author: Bruce Nichols
Editor: McFarland
This book is a thorough study of all known guerrilla operations in Civil War Missouri between September 1864-and June 1865. It explores different tactics each side attempted during this time period to gain advantage over each other with regional differences as influenced by the differing personalities of local commanders. The author utilizes both well-known and obscure sources (including military and government records, private accounts, county and other local histories, period and later newspapers, and secondary sources published after the war) to identify which Southern partisan leaders and groups operated in which areas of Missouri, and describe how they operated and how their kinds of warfare evolved. This work presents the actions of Southern guerrilla forces and Confederate behind-Union-lines recruiters chronologically by region so that readers may see the relationship of seemingly isolated events to other events over a period of time in a given area. The book also studies the counteractions of an array of different types of Union troops fighting guerrillas in Missouri to show how differences in training, leadership and experience affected behaviors and actions in the field.

A look at the guerrilla warfare on the Missouri-Kansas border during the Civil War from the Southern point of view.
The Great Missouri Raid
Author: Michael J. Forsyth
In 1864, General Sterling Price with an army of 12,000 ragtag Confederates invaded Missouri in an effort to wrest it from the United States Army's Department of Missouri. Price hoped his campaign would sway the 1864 presidential election, convincing war-weary Northern voters to cast their ballots for a peace candidate rather than Abraham Lincoln. It was the South's last invasion of Northern territory. But it was simply too late in the war for the South to achieve such an outcome, and Price grossly mismanaged the campaign, guaranteeing the defeat of his force and of the Confederate States. This book chronicles the Confederacy's desperate, final, ill-fated attempt to win a decisive victory.

The Chicago and North Western (C&NW) Railroad Bridge, constructed in 1906–1907, was one of the first rail bridges to span the Missouri River in South Dakota, linking Pierre (Hughes County) and Fort Pierre (Stanley County) on either side of the river, and more broadly, connecting eastern South Dakota, Minnesota, and the upper Midwest to western part of the state. Indeed, the C&NW played a crucial role in the settlement of western South Dakota. Although the eastern part of the state had railroad service by the late nineteenth century, there were few lines in the west, where most of the land was closed to white settlement. By the early twentieth century, however, the government reduced the size of Native American reservations, opening the land for white settlement, and the C&NW quickly began laying tracks to Rapid City, the gateway to the Black Hills.
This bridge was South Dakota's first permanent river crossing over the Missouri River. Measuring approximately 2,200 feet in length and 20 feet wide, the bridge consists of five pin-connected Pennsylvania through-truss spans, one of which was fitted as a swing span. The Pennsylvania truss was desirable for long spans carrying heavy loads. The four non-swing spans are each 350 feet long, while the swing span is 445 feet long. The Pennsylvania Steel Company fabricated and installed the superstructure, which rests on massive piers faced with ashlar granite from Ortonville, Minnesota; this substructure was built by Arthur McMullen and Company of New York City. The original approaches included timber trestles, but these were replaced in the 1920s with plate-deck girder structures fabricated by the Lassig Bridge and Iron Works of Chicago, Illinois. By the time of the bridge's completion, the swing span, which was mandated by federal navigation laws, was rarely used since commercial riverboat traffic on this part of the Missouri River was virtually over. The swing span is no longer functional but the bridge has seen continuous rail service since its construction.
