Day 3 -- The Transcription Project
What a difference a little experience can make. When I walked into the library today where our class was meeting, I found every student already occupied at a computer. The letters were open on their computer monitors and the girls were pouring over the archaic handwriting. I could hardly get them to look away for a moment as I held up the original photos and news clippings I brought to show.
"Who had the letter about Mercy's kidnapping?"
A hand shot up, "I did. It talked about white slavery too."
"Here is the news article," I said, showing the girls the original and reading "Thinks Sister Used as Victim of Hypnotist."
At first a few girls were listening and looking at the photos; soon the entire class was gathered around the large conference table with jaws dropped.
"She was kidnapped?"
"Well, the family thought so, but here is her photo with the man . . . "
"He looks so nice," they repeated. "He looks normal."
"Yes, he does, and she married him."
"Were they happy? Did they stay married?"
"Not really. He did leave her, and her daughter had mental problems."
"What else?" They wanted to know.
I could only answer, "I don't know. Read your letters today and see what mysteries you can uncover or solve."
They actually raced back to their computers to continue reading.
Students were so quietly intent on their reading that the library felt like. . . a library. After a time, as they finished transcribing their leters, the girls began to read aloud their transcription with a partner to check their work. Now they knew the stories of two letters. Some girls were ready for another and began a second or third transcription. With one day of our library time remaining, it seems likely that nearly everyone will meet the assignment of transcribing two letters.

Infant mortality has fallen by half, and the number of women who died from complications during pregnancy and childbirth by three-quarters. This is the result of a four-year health care project in one of India's poorest districts.
"We're overjoyed that mortality could be reduced with relatively simple means like mobile health care centres. It was successful because pregnant women and new mothers got the opportunity to actively seek care."
So says Siw Alehagen who, together with AnnaKarin Johansson, Orvar Finnstrm and Gran Hermansson all of Linkping University in Sweden and their Indian colleagues, is publishing the results in the journal Rural and Remote Health.
Alehagen, with a background as a midwife, and Johansson, a district nurse, are both researchers in nursing science. In 2004, the Indian organisation Pravara Medical Trust, the stergtland County Council and the Faculty of Health Sciences received funding from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency to start an intervention study in the Ahmednagar district in central India.
The study covers 235 villages where more than half the inhabitants live under the Indian poverty line of 1,000 rupees (equal to 18.50 USD) a month, and where health care is at an extremely low level.
"In the most remote districts, there is neither access to nor demand for maternal and paediatric health care," Johansson says.
Three out of every four births took place in the woman's home. Almost five of every 1,000 pregnant women died in connection with childbirth, and 80 of every 1,000 newborns died before their first birthday. Over half of the children under five were malnourished.
The project was inspired by the Swedish model, with nurse-based maternal and paediatric clinics; the goal was to open nine permanent and five mobile primary care centres that could serve the most isolated villages. 385 Indian nurses, physicians, laboratory workers and social workers were empl

AAoA - 9 years
No lates, no collections, no judgements
5 revolving accounts- 2 with 0 balance, 3 with 19.9k in total balances
52.3k in available credit (38% utilization)
1 installment account for a lease - good standing
2 mortgage accounts, 8 years old - good standing
Just wondering if its a good time to re-apply for our mortgage. Looking for at least 700.
There's not enough info. Have you pulled your FICO reports to at least get an idea?
Your util is a bit high. I'd bring that down with at least one more CC at a $0 balance.
Just guessing, of course, but I'd think 730-745 at least. That's unless there's something bad on your report that you may be unaware of. Could be higher, but I'd be surprised if you were under 700.
10-16-2013 05:57 PM - edited 10-16-2013 06:01 PM
i pulled them a couple of weeks ago before i paid down some balances - the fico score my lender pullled and the one i pulled were completely different. so its useless to pull anything here. just wondering your thoughts on a score.
i'll let you know when my scores are re-pulled early next week.

London Java Meetup gaining momentum
Back in May we finally got around having a London based Java meetup where a small handful of techies turned up to a pub and chatted about Java. Month by month, numbers gradually increased and all was looking good until the Java Meetup website started charging a fee for some of their services. Thankfully, Jez came up with the London Java Meetup blog.
If you've been following the blog, you'll know that we met up last night and attendence was well into double figures, including Jeremy Rayner, Sam Dalton, Ken Horn, Peter Reinhardt, Steve Heath, Pratik Patel, Cameron Purdy and myself. As some of the reviews say, we had a great time just chatting about Java, open source, technology and the industry in general. Cameron even managed to do some live blogging to post some photos of us all. I still don't know how he managed this from a pub.
With so much Java development going on in London, it was great to finally see some more of the faces that make up the Java community. If you are working in or, like Cameron, visiting London and fancy meeting some other like-minded techies, feel free to pop along to the next London Java Meetup, tentatively scheduled for November 17th.

"Technique is everything," says Tricia Hetherington, licensed esthetician and owner of The Pretty Kitty, a chain of full-service waxing boutiques specializing in bare-all Brazilians. Tricia, who's been profiled in Luxury Las Vegas and several additional press outlets, personally trains each staff member in her proprietary 10- to 15-minute hair-removal method, which employs high-quality soft wax that's formulated for delicate flesh and minimizes pain. Her estheticians never double dip into the wax pot, reaching for a fresh stick with every application of the warm substance and leaving only a thin landing strip or functional tarmac in its wake. The Pretty Kitty's menu of services also includes facial and full-body waxing, and though walk-ins are welcome, appointments are recommended.

To hear Andrew Harrison tell it, the Kentucky Wildcats were comfortable when they were down 13 and without Willie Cauley-Stein, who was lost for the rest of the game with a left ankle injury. They were comfortable when Luke Hancock hit back-to-back 3-pointers, James Young fouled out and momentum was swinging in Louisville's favor. They were comfortable down seven to the defending national champions with 4:33 left in the game.

Q&A with UK DJ/Producer Wonderchild Geiom: "A Welcome Relief from the Gnarly End of 140″ (Page 2)
Most likely not — it wouldn't have had the label muscle behind it to get on radio. But regarding the divide across the Atlantic, what's your take on the rise in popularity of British bass music — dubstep, funky, etc. — around the world?
It's interesting to observe. The UK has always been good at coming up with new music trends, and that continued into dance music. The only other place I can think of that seems so restless and hungry for the next thing is Jamaica. We've got a lot of Jamaicans and their descendants in the UK, maybe that has something to do with it. We never would have created jungle without them that's for sure. The Jamaican musical mentality seems to tread carefully between tradition and innovation — they want the freshness, but it's got to sound solid and still relate. I like that.
I think UK funky was a great kick up the ass to house music, gave it some guts. It's also led to some sick hybrid sounds — Nottingham producer Erra is one good example. But I think it's important to remember that house and techno have been done very well by many people for years now. Some of the more "traditional" sounding recent house and techno records I've heard coming out of the scene seem kinda underwhelming. If you check a tune like Rhythmatic's "Demons" which starts my Electronic Explorations mix, you can hear incredible production, euphoric yet stealthy riffs, great programming, etc. And that record is 20 years old.
Garage/grime/dubstep are so rooted in London, but folks from other parts of the UK have played a huge part in its rise — you and Kode 9 come to mind. How did dubstep begin for you in Nottingham?
It started with my friend booking the FWD tour in 2004 with Kode 9, Youngsta etc. Then we had Mala and Pokes up here as part of a small festival we organized. After that we started putting on nights with an oversized sound system and booked DJs like Loefah, Horsepower, D1, all the originators. I remember putting the address for Barefiles [Ed. note: a seminal dubstep website] on the flyers so that people would be able to find out what dubstep sounded like before they came to the events.
I find that really funny now, there are probably at least three dubstep nights each week in Nottingham these days! It's true that London is incredibly influential, but I think these things can only really grow once people take them on at a local level. Kode 9 is from Scotland, but I think he has lived in London for quite a while now. I actually grew up in London but ended up here….
What were you onto before dubstep, funky, etc. entered your world?
Making electronica for labels like Skam, Neo Ouija and City Centre Offices.
Most embarrasing record in your collection? Don't be shy.
I love them all! I think the first thing I ever bought was the theme music from Top Cat on a 7″. Not embarrassed about that one.
Do you still play dubplates? Have one that you're still amazed by to this day?
I have an old Brackles tune on a plate called "Blackout" that still kills it.
It started with "Footcrab," and now it seems like every sentence uttered about dubstep has to mention "Juke," the Chicago-based music that's been a recent influence on dubstep. Has it become a UK-underground thing?
It's cool. It is just like an update of stuff like ghettotech/booty bass tunes, but one thing I appreciate about its rise is the warmth and space in the sound — it's a welcome relief from the gnarly end of 140. As for seeing that kind of dancing in UK clubs — I think it will just remain a bloggers dream.
Speaking of raves, what do Geiom DJ sets involve these days? Since you've got the collaborations with vocalists and horns in the bag — any thoughts of doing a live set?
My DJ sets generally try to blend the best of what's happening now with some retro tracks and my own upcoming tunes, across the 130-140 tempos. I'm also gonna start playing 170bpm stuff out, there's one set of that style here.
Fantastic — a whole new side of Geiom. Speaking of which, as you're now treading so many different sounds, are you performing any differently?
I perform live from a hardware and computer setup, and I do shows with some of my featured vocalists like Marita and Terrible Shock. I have done the Hem stuff live too as an experiment, I was surprised at how well it works on a rig, if people want to see that get in touch! [Laughs]
Contributor Dave Sharma is a musician and DJ, and is one half of the NYC electronic duo Sub Swara.

That's the premise of this article by Grantland's Kirk Goldsberry, who examines the work of the NBA's foremost volume shooter, Kobe Bryant, and comes up with a very interesting new statistic. The background [emphasis mine]:
[J]ust like shot outcomes, rebounding outcomes also depend on who is shooting, where they are shooting from, the stratagems of each team, the rebounding abilities of each player, and the precise spatial configuration of the 10 players on the court; as a result, there is a less apparent tenet of basketball: All missed shots are not created equal, and their DNA is inherently dependent upon their ancestral events — some missed shots are good for the defensive team, and some benefit the offense, as many misses actually extend offensive possessions with the proverbial "fresh 24."
Goldsberry coins the name "Kobe Pass" for any shot that is rebounded by the offense—an individual statistic for the shooter, as offensive rebounds is obviously a stat that exists. This leads to the "Kobe Assist":
In fact, league-wide, 34 percent of the time Kobe passes results in points right away because the recipient of the Kobe Pass, a.k.a. the offensive rebounder, frequently scores immediately after acquiring the basketball. In such cases, I define the Kobe Assist as an achievement credited to a player or a team missing a basket that in a way leads directly to the kind of field goal generally referred to as a put-back, tip-in, or follow.
In case you haven't caught on, Kobe Bryant is the master of the Kobe Assist, putting up the best numbers even before the Lakers brought in rebounding force Dwight Howard (having Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum helped, of course).
While Kobe Assists depend in no small part on a player's supporting cast—the guys going up for the rebound, especially—there is still an art to their creation. Much of this has to do with where on the floor a player takes his shot; as a general rule, the closer to the basket a shot originates, the more likely an offensive rebound will occur:
There is one notable exception: three-pointers are rebounded at a lightly higher clip than long twos. This is an NBA chart, so the stats for college may be slightly different, but the point remains that long twos are the worst shots in basketball—often a waste of possession not only because of their low-percentage nature and lack of the upside of a potential extra point, but also because they're usually the last shot of a possession.

Unverified Voracity Just Gets To The Spot
Other basketball takes. Grantland* oddly dispatched a guy to cover the Michigan-Northwestern game. He comes back with an impression of Ann Arbor clearly derived from the rims clanging so loud it sounds like a Gary, Indiana, steel mill before it closed in 1979, but once he gets past the grim midwesternness of it all it's a good piece:
. In the post, Smotrycz and Novak get rough with Shurna, putting their bodies into him, bumping him off the ball, and generally making him fight for every inch. Shurna hates this physicality, hates it viscerally and philosophically and every other way you can hate something. More often than not, he casts a look at the referee, hoping for a foul call, before retreating to the perimeter. He'll finish the game with 21 points, but after his second jumper of the half, with 19 long minutes remaining, he's scored all but four of that total. The rest of the game is a vanishing act.
I still think whenever Beilein ends up with an open scholarship late he should scour Northwestern's commitments for whoever their totally rad guy is going to be. That seems preferable to snatching Colton Christian away from low majors.
Holdin' the Rope credits Denard in the headline and provides a link to the Novak dunk that brought down the house during Michigan's 10-0 second half run:
HT: MGoVideo.
Re: Denard, A half-dozen Michigan football players including Roy Roundree and Denard held court in the student section after they were honored for winning the Sugar Bowl. One thing you can say about Michigan football: they are not too cool for school.
HTR also dubs freshman NU PG Dave Sobolewski "Sobocop" in an attempt to insult him for prompting the Morgan tech. This will certainly backfire and cause Northwestern fans to admiringly dub him that for the rest of his career. Sippin' On Purple, make this happen.
*[Grantland pays Brian Phillips and Chris Brown money to write about sports. I'm not hearing criticism of it even if it runs some dumb stuff. That's easy enough to ignore; the good bits are very good. VIVA LOS SIMMONS.]
Donnal update. Even Jordan Morgan is impressed by this stat:
Perhaps no one on the team has bought in to the new approach more than Mark Donnal, the 6-9 junior who is already committed to the University of Michigan. The league's top post player is averaging a team-high 20.4 points and 8.7 rebounds after averaging 15 points and seven boards last season.
Donnal, who probably receives more double-teams near the basket than any other player in the NLL, is sinking 79 percent of his shots from the field, as well as from the foul line.
Big guys in high school usually tower over opponents and can just oaf their way to easy buckets, but if you've seen any video of Donnal you know he's unusually skilled for a 6'9" post type. He's Pittsnogalian.
That sounds like an adjective from a lost chapter of Gulliver's Travels featuring a race of lovable, enormous tattooed weirdos. It's a keeper, that is.
CSB midterms. The NHL's Central Scouting Bureau has released their midseason rankings, which are the first to put a number on prospects rather than a vague letter. Voila:
#9 Jacob Trouba
#28 Phil Di Giuseppe (freshman)
#31 Boo Nieves
#82 Alex Kile (2013)
#157 Connor Carrick
#175 Justin Selman
Incoming goalie Jared Rutledge is the #36 goalie, which would mean he's not getting drafted. Daniel Milne and future Rutledge backup Steve Racine are the only draft-eligible recruits not listed.
Trouba is the top-ranked American. A CSB scout on him:
"Jacob has offensive skills and he really does defend well. You can just tell by how he plays in all areas of the ice that he's a big kid who skates really well, he loves to jump into the play and has confidence because he knows his skating can get him back, so he rarely gets caught out of position. He's going to be someone people are going to talk about; we've known about him for a couple years and he's not disappointing this year."
Remember that these are North American skater rankings only; Europeans and goalies will push these folks down. Those are mid-second-round ratings for PDG and Nieves, not late first.
WCH calls out Connor Carrick as notably under-ranked; if that's true Michigan will definitely have five draftees with Selman a potential sixth. Kile is a surprise. One: I didn't know he was draft eligible this year. Two: he's got 7-8-15 in 29 games with the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL, which is a far cry from the 38, 35, 30, 29 you see at the top of their scoring charts. He's kind of big at 6-foot, 195, but not the kind of big that gets you drafted above your skill level by the NHL.
Meanwhile in the odious machinations of junior hockey magnates. Nieves's rights were traded in the deadline flurry. This is never good, but Nieves has reconfirmed that he has no interest in the OHL:
With all
#OHL trade action & acquisition from #collegehockey just heard from very close source Boo Nieves plans on UM "for sure" #2012Draft
Nieves was traded to Saginaw, which isn't any closer to home than Michigan or notorious for shelling out under the table payments. Also if he was going to leave he had an opportunity before signing up for another year of prep hockey with Matt Herr. Usually when a player committed to college changes his mind it's the year before he's scheduled to arrive. Only the specter of competing against Shawn Hunwick is sufficient motivation to ditch when college is around the corner.
Meanwhile in things you'd do for a dollar. Rumor is the Winter Classic is headed to Michigan in the near future, and not just the state:
Multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports this week that the NHL is in advanced discussions with the University of Michigan about holding the 2013 Winter Classic in Ann Arbor.
One source, who spoke on a condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak on the matter, said Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon wasn't initially sold on the idea of the NHL hosting an outdoor game at Michigan Stadium. But over a matter of a couple of weeks, the source said "something happened to make it go from looking like it could happen to [a point where] it probably will."
No doubt long deliberations with a man dressed in a curly fries outfit eventually led to the breakthrough. Would Dave Brandon threaten to break Michigan's own attendance record and hopelessly conflict a ton of people when Michigan inevitably plays a bowl game on the same day? Yes. The curly fries are very convincing, and there is at least one dollar in it.
Guh. I only talk about coaches who coach for Michigan unless I need to give Tony Gibson minus even more of the points:
The previous CB coach, Gibson, who I believe also is joining the Arizona staff, wasn't big on technique, at least not when he was a WVU. Players have stated that he would tell them, "just get to the spot." Lockwood came in and changed that, and with that change came nice strides of improvement in the cornerbacks.
Unfortunately, the spot was ten yards away from the receiver.
Etc.: The university's policy of exorbitant FOIA fees is an embarrassment. Roundtree's looking for a bigger role next year. BC Interruption is feeling the MGoPlayoff. Horford may be able to return this year. Silver lining if he can't: the ensuing redshirt will give some separation between Michigan's bigs, three of whom may leave in the same year if McGary is two-and-out. UMHoops picture pages a bunch of out of bounds plays.
NYT scorecard: MGoBlog is "not exactly a rock of journalistic credibility." Chris Brown is a featured author. Chris Brown 1, MGoBlog 0.
Why the DVR robs sports of all of their drama
thanks to Klosterman I now have "Buffalo Stance" stuck in my head.

Versioning in memoQ, particularly the handling of changes in the translation of a given version of a source document, has had a rather "unfinished" feel since it was first introduced in memoQ 5.
It has generally suffered in the comparison with the implementation of tracked changes in SDL Trados Studio 2011, and rightly so. Even recent improvements in memoQ 6.2, with the addition of a command to revert to an earlier minor version in a comparison, falls far short of the ease of use of a function that enables one to move from one change to the next and accept, reject or further modify the changed text in a large document.
However, tracked changes for minor versions isn't quite as hopeless as I thought it was. It is still massively in need of improvement, but I did discover one undocumented feature which gives it some redeeming value.
One tantalizing feature of memoQ version tracking is the Row History. I've always thought of it as an irritating tease, which it is.
It shows you every change which has been made to a particular target segment during the translation and editing of a major version. But there is no way - no obvious way - to apply any of those previous versions to the target text. Ideally, one should be able to select one of the previous translations and replace the target segment with it.
Well, you can after all. Sort of. Selecting a given version of the target segment and pressing Control+C will put the entire row of the table displayed in the Clipboard. It can then be pasted into the target segment:
In the example above, I have the display of tracked changes turned on, so it looks a bit messy. The view is cleaner without displaying the edits. As you can see, a bit more is copied than just the original text. That text is preceded by tree spaces, and the text from the version, date and user information is included and must be edited out.
Clearly, this was not an intended feature, but it has been there since versioning was first introduced in memoQ 5. Now if Kilgray would add a button for replacing the target text and perhaps an edit box as well where further changes can be made before replacing the current text, this feature would be much more useful.
A particularly ideal implementation might be the ability to move from one change to the next automatically and be able to accept the latest change or revert to any previous translation of the segment, all in one well-integrated operation. That's more or less what I've been waiting for in the year and a half since memoQ versioning was introduced.

Fragment of faience vessel with the name of Aha
From the Temple of Osiris, Abydos,
1st Dynasty, around 3000 BC
One of the first kings of Egypt
The temples and tombs of Abydos have provided
many of the earliest examples of different types of ancient
Egyptian artefacts. This is a fragment of one of the earliest known
The fragment was originally part of a large globular vase with a neck; it must have been a very special object, not least because of its size; almost all other faience items of the First Dynasty are quite small. It was probably a donation of the king to the temple, as it is likely that only a king could afford such luxury items.
Aha was the first or second king of the First Dynasty (about 3100-2890 BC), and is probably one of the real rulers whose exploits coalesced into the (later) traditional first king of Egypt, Menes. He was buried at Abydos, but there are also large tombs of his officials at Saqqara; he may also have been responsible for founding the city of Memphis.

British selector gets award from queen
David Rodigan - File
British radio jock and selector David Rodigan has been given an honour award from the Queen of England for his contribution to broadcasting.
Rodigan, who is known as a popular reggae selector and sound clasher, has been appointed a member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire or MBE in the Queen's New Years Honour List. The selector has been involved in broadcasting for more than 30 years on air. The date for the presentation of awards has yet to be announced but will take place at Buckingham Palace in the summer. Rodigan currently presents a late-night reggae show on London's Kiss 100 every Sunday at 11 p.m.
Rodigan told The STAR yesterday how he found out about the award. He said, "I was asleep in a Berlin hotel room on Saturday morning having performed at an all night reggae jam at the Yaam Club, when my phone just went crazy, buzzing with text messages and then my wife called me from London to tell me that it had been announced on the BBC that I had been awarded an MBE."
Rodigan started his career at the BBC in 1978 before moving on to Capitol Radio and Kiss 100. At each station, he offered a diverse play-list of Jamaican music that earned him a huge fan base throughout Europe, Japan and North America. During the 1980s, Rodigan was a regular visitor to Jamaica featuring in several sound-system clashes with popular disc jockey 'Barry G' who was then with the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation.
He said, "I felt very honoured that the award had been given for my 'services to broadcasting' but I was especially proud of the fact that reggae music was also being honoured, as this is what I have been broadcasting for over 30 years on radio."
Last year the disc jock returned to his roots at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) as host of its 10-part summer, soul and reggae series. Rodigan hosted a reggae special on BBC s Radio 2 looking back at 50 years of Jamaican popular music. He is also preparing a series of Classic Reggae Memory Modules for broadcast in the spring on Irie Jam Radio in New York.
The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire is a British order of chivalry established on June 4, 1917 by King George V.

if we want to change the process of global governance, the way current power relations are unfolding globally, our lives, whatever it is– we must begin with an accurate description of the current practices of power. what the hell do I mean? it is more important to understand loosely how power operates rather than focusing too much attention on getting the conceptual housework right. sometimes we end up talking for so long about a philosopher or political person or psychological or sociologist sees something, "he sees X" and the way this famous person "sees y" that we never get back to the initial problem at hand, power and its effects. when a problem emerges, we should start with analyzing how the problem emerges in reality(phenomenological daily life or how are exposed to its effects that we find noticeable in media/whatever structure we are a part of) before we apply our own concepts to it. For instance if it's a problem that the ruling classes manipulate the media to get their own ideas across, that we buy and abide by completely wholesale, what what do we do about it or at least why is the problem occurring? people want a reason for the problem, even if we don't have a how-to kit on protesting at the capital, what is the nature of the problem other than its conceptual problem? well we need language to describe these problems, which make us use concepts, but we must try to do our best with describing the problem rather than focusing on applying our concepts, to the problem. What inspired this post was that earlier someone was trying to analyze this process and he did exactly what i'm talking about. the problem for him was "the manipulation of the media" but he answers his problem by responding with ideas, not by solutions. he starts off the discussion by saying "Well first off, if we are going to get anywhere we must first come to a set of concrete definitions, when we can get a better idea of what these two people were arguing about, and what solutions we might find". he then goes through the process of defining "democracy" (a group of partcipating citizenry), how walter lippman sees democracy, how john dewey sees democracy, how they both think we should manage media to control democracy, and what their ideas were about it. at the end of the article he then explains his own idea to the problem proposed. in defining an IDEAL he secretly imposes his own set of moral attitudes which he dresses up in philosophical language "Whether or not the United States is a true democracy, was intended to be one, or should be one is a moot point considering the overwhelming support of the American people for a true democracy and all democratic ideals. " instead of describing the power-processes currently in play (that john stewart was criticizing), he's critizing the philosophical views of two other people hoping to insert his own ideals into the world. most philosophers sadly are people trying to give birth to their own ideals in the real world and they are never born, only flesh and blood can be born and flesh and blood is determined by empirical drives of power-processes, not a conceptual house.
see through the philosophical process of reflection the object of discontent has been replaced with an artificial one that a philosopher can solve. instead of solving the issue of "How the power elite use the media to manipulate our thoughts and ideas into bipartisan hackery", he solves the issue of "How walter lippman and john dewey see democracy, and how we OUGHT/SHOULD see democracy, so that my solution of imaginative democracy will work" but he fails to show how his answer addresses the problem that was initially faced in reality. most people will be offended by the word reality, but the idea is that at some point the philosopher was initially upset about a power-process (the way the ruling class manipulates CNN/FOXNEWS/RUSSIATODAY/DRUDGEREPORT/ETC to control the HERD) ends up propounding more statements about the nature of democracy and the nature of citizenry.
a philosopher in essence defines his problems out of existence. this slight of hand "First off lets begin by getting a set of concrete definitions" quickly changes into "now lets use these manufactured definitions to render a problem that we can solve using other ideas/definitions"
engaging in a practice of language that can criticize the current power-processes without projecting our own ideologies into the description of the power process, will be hard as fuck, to say the least. we must keep describing the power structures in place without saying "the world would be fixed if they saw it the way that i did".
