L'estraneo (The Outsider) è un racconto breve di Howard Phillips Lovecraft scritto nel 1921. Fu pubblicato sulla rivista Weird Tales nell'aprile del 1926.

L'estraneo è uno dei racconti più importanti di Lovecraft e quello dove è più evidente l'influenza di Edgar Allan Poe.

Trama
Il narratore descrive in prima persona la sua vita miserabile e apparentemente solitaria, che sembra non aver mai preso contatto con un altro individuo. Il protagonista parla delle sue origini, spiegando di non ricordare alcun dettaglio della sua storia personale, compreso chi sia o da dove provenga. Egli vive da solo in un castello in rovina in mezzo a una foresta di alti alberi che bloccano la luce del Sole. Non ha mai visto la luce naturale, né un altro essere umano, e non si è mai avventurato al di fuori della sua dimora. L'unica conoscenza che ha del mondo esterno proviene dalla lettura dei "libri antichi" che rivestono le pareti del suo castello.

Il protagonista racconta la sua determinazione a liberarsi da ciò che considera un'esistenza all'interno di una prigione. Decide di salire una scala della torre del castello che sembra essere la sua unica via di fuga. Nel punto in cui le scale terminano in rovine sbriciolate, il narratore inizia una lunga, lenta scalata lungo il muro della torre, finché alla fine trova una botola nel soffitto, che lui solleva. Sorprendentemente, non si ritrova a una grande altezza, ma a livello del suolo in un altro mondo, con la Luna piena che brilla davanti a lui. Sopraffatto dall'emozione che prova nel contemplare ciò che - fino a ora - aveva solo letto, il protagonista assapora il nuovo ambiente. Si rende conto di trovarsi in un vecchio cimitero e vaga per la campagna prima di imbattersi in un altro castello.

Il protagonista vede un gruppo di persone festeggianti all'interno del castello, che egli trova familiare. Desiderando un contatto umano, il protagonista si arrampica attraverso una finestra ed entra nella sala. Al suo ingresso, la gente si spaventa all'improvviso. I festaioli terrorizzati gridano e fuggono disperatamente dalla stanza. Quando il protagonista si trova da solo nella stanza, si intimorisce domandandosi dove potrebbe essere la causa di tale reazione. Mentre si dirige verso una delle alcove della stanza, va incontro a un essere mostruoso e gli si avvicina lentamente:

Il protagonista perde l'equilibrio e tocca il mostro. Inorridito, corre dall'edificio e torna al passaggio per il suo castello, dove tenta senza successo di rientrare nel suo vecchio mondo. Scacciato dalla sua vecchia vita, il protagonista si ritrova costretto a vagare per sempre sulla Terra. Si scopre che non aveva fronteggiato una creatura mostruosa, ma si era visto per la prima volta riflesso su uno specchio.

Top 10 Iconic Junk Foods
As Hostess announces its plan to shut down its operations, TIME takes a look at the Twinkie and other American snack icons.
You Call This Food?
By Nick CarboneFriday, Nov. 16, 2012

There's something magical about those golden tubers extending from the bright red McDonald's fry box. Indeed, the iconic golden arches themselves are reminiscent of those delectable fries. They've never pretended to be healthy: a 5.4-oz. (153 g) large order of fries contains 500 calories and more than 38% of your recommended daily fat intake. But the salt-covered, crunchy potato shoestrings have been a McDonald's staple since the fast-food chain's early years, thanks to the combination of Russet Burbank potatoes, vegetable oil, natural flavors and a few other (rather scientific-sounding) ingredients. But those "natural flavors" have come under scrutiny from health and religious organizations. That's because while potatoes are a vegetable, McDonald's fries are bafflingly not vegetarian. In fact, the indescribable flavor of McDonald's fries comes from beef flavoring, a taste that was created by accident in the 1950s when the restaurant's oil supplier mixed in beef fat to its vegetable oil to extend its shelf life. While the recipe has been tweaked since then, mainly for health reasons, the flavor has been maintained. These days, they're cooked with canola oil and the beef flavoring is derived from other sources, but the fries still maintain their crispy goodness.

One woman said that the arrival of pro-government leaders in San Antonio del Táchira is a mockery for Venezuelans who have had to migrate because of the crisis in the country.
Yuribi Ríos refused that Diosdado Cabello visit the border city to hold a demonstration. He alleged that he works in Colombia to be able to send food to his children.
"They are doing things badly, they are not doing work, there are many mothers who have to sleep in the street with their children and then go to work because they can not be in their country, we want to be in Venezuela but we can not for the situation, "said the woman.
The countries of Latin America and the Caribbean host 2.4 million Venezuelan migrants, while the other 600,000 are distributed in other regions. Colombia has the largest number of refugees with more than one million.


Players can be set as non-active which causes them to no longer appear on any list.
There is no way to delete the entire league. I would recommend just creating a new league. If you wish to use the same league ID, then change the league ID for the old league before creating the new one. Under league preferences and general settings is the feature to change the league ID. Also, when creating the new league, make sure to check the box for setting this has your default league.


← Bottle Baby. I Wish.
Oh my goodness. Where to begin? My wallet sprouts legs on a regular basis these days. One would think that in some deep part of my soul I was wishing to get rid of it. Or perhaps I'm longing for a new life, as my wallet pretty much sums up my existence.
The following night, after meeting up with a dear friend and her eldest two children, I misplaced my wallet again. Ughhhh. This time it slipped between the seat and the console in our van. I realized it was missing when I went to retrieve some change for a 'hot lunch' for Daniel.
Not that I'm particularly superstitious, but these things seem to happen in threes. I'm wait in fear for the third time I misplace my wallet. With any luck it will turn up again as easily as it did the first two times. Fingers crossed.

Medigap Needed To Supplement Inevitable Health Care Cost Increase Over Next Decade. Health care expenses will increase by about 72% over the next decade say Analysts who anticipate a 7.2% per annum increase in health care costs.
Another trend within the new government projections is an ever-growing reliance on the government to foot the bill for health care. By the end of the next decade, the government will pay for about half of the nation's medical costs. The other half may need Medigap Insurance to supplement out-of-pocket escalating costs not covered by Medicare.
Especially seniors need to be aware of the predicted increases in the two main health sectors that apply to them. The country's aging population is expected to drive increases in two key areas of health care spending: nursing homes and home health. Spending on nursing homes will grow from $121.7 billion in 2005 to $216.8 billion in 2015. Home health will grow from about $49 billion last year to $103.7 billion in 2015. It represents the nation's fastest-growing sector in health care.
"Although Medicare covers many of the common medical requirements, there are many things that it does not cover and this is where Medigap or Medicare Supplement Insurance becomes vitally important" said David Thau, a well known California insurance advisor and founder of 'Keep It Simple Insurance'. " Medigap is specifically designed to provide reimbursement for the out-of-pocket costs that Medicare does not cover. Prediction is always a better alternative to hindsight so long term care insurance should be examined long before it is needed to avoid the problems of these increasing costs" he added.
President Bush recently urged Americans to confront the rising cost of health care. In his State of the Union address last month, the president pushed health savings accounts, or HSAs, and the high-deductible insurance plans that go with them. For a younger generation this is a good strategy, however for seniors, a Medigap policy would probably be more appropriate to cover their out-of-pocket expenses.
The 7.2 percent annual increase in health care costs over the coming decade that analysts forecast is in line with the 7.4 percent increase in 2005, but the overall economy is projected to grow at a rate of only 5.1 percent over the coming decade, which means health care will play an ever-growing role and we should be aware of the fact that there is a shortfall that needs to be covered. Medigap Insurance serves that purpose and should be seriously considered by every senior.

Victim advocates are professionals trained to support victims of crime. Advocates offer victims information, emotional support, and help finding resources and filling out paperwork. Sometimes, advocates go to court with victims. Advocates may also contact organizations, such as criminal justice or social service agencies, to get help or information for victims. Some advocates staff crisis hotlines, run support groups, or provide in-person counseling. Victim advocates may also be called victim service providers, victim/witness coordinators, or victim/witness specialists.
Notifying victims of inmates' release or escape.
Advocates work in many different locations. Some serve in the criminal justice system (in police stations, prosecutor's offices, courts, probation or parole departments, or prisons). They may also be part of private nonprofit organizations such as sexual assault crisis centers or domestic violence programs. Some advocates are paid staff, and others are volunteers. Many advocates have academic degrees that prepare them to work with victims. They may have studied social work, criminal justice, education, or psychology. Advocates often receive significant additional training on the specific knowledge and skills they need on the job.
Advocates offer victims information about the different options available to them and support victims' decision-making. Advocates do not tell victims what to do. Advocates are committed to maintaining the highest possible levels of confidentiality in their communications with victims. However, the level of confidentiality they can observe depends on their position, education, licensure, and the laws in each state. An advocate in a police department may have to share any information related to an investigation with officers. Yet an advocate at a domestic violence program may be able to keep most victims' confidences private. However, all advocates must report certain types of information to the authorities. For example, they have to report any type of threat to a person (such as clients threatening to hurt themselves or someone else), and they have to report the abuse or neglect of children. It is important for victims to ask about confidentiality rules before they begin working with an advocate.
It may be difficult for you to reach out for help. But you may find that victim advocates can offer you information, support, and access to helpful services you might not know about. Victims are often relieved to know that agencies in their community want to make sure they are safe and have the help they need to recover from the impact of the crime.

About FGFJ
Six Pillars of FGFJ Activities
Japan Visit by the Global Fund Executive Director Michel Kazatchkine
Tokyo, June 1–3, 2011
The FGFJ organized a series of events with Prof. Michel Kazatchkine, executive director of the Global Fund, while he was in Japan to give a presentation at the MDGs Follow-up Meeting held in Tokyo on June 2 and 3, 2011. During his visit, he met with members of the FGFJ Diet Task Force, which is co-chaired by House of Representatives members Motohisa Furukawa (DPJ) and Ichiro Aisawa (LDP); members of the FGFJ Board of Directors, including former Prime Minister and FGFJ Honorary Chair Yoshiro Mori; and individual political and government leaders. Referring to the Global Fund's recently published results report, Professor Kazatchkine cited the impact generated by the fund and its partners and described the series of reforms the fund is undertaking to improve its governance and grant management practices. He also spoke candidly about the Global Fund's efforts to rebuild trust following recent press reports on fraud and corruption that give the false impression that a large portion of funds have been misused. He also touched on the subject of Japan's ODA budget cuts that resulted in a withholding of this year's allocation to the Global Fund, which would have been Japan's highest allocation yet, following Prime Minister Naoto Kan's announcement last year of an increased Japanese commitment to the Global Fund at the UN MDGs Summit. Professor Kazatchkine expressed his sincere hope that Japan will remain strongly committed to the Global Fund despite the difficulties confronting the nation following the March 11 disaster. To this, leaders in all of the meetings assured him that the budget cut was a temporary measure and that Japan remains strong in its commitment to the Global Fund.

2018 Rogers Cup – Toronto Men's Singles Draw
August 3, 2018 by Tennis Panorama News
The World No. 1 is in the building. @RafaelNadal, #Toronto welcomes you. pic.twitter.com/qK2fglLB14
— Rogers Cup (@rogerscup) August 3, 2018
Toronto, August 3, 2018 – Novak Djokovic will play Hyeon Chung in a first round battle of the 2018 Rogers Cup presented by National Bank. Djokovic, who is fresh off the back of winning his fourth Wimbledon title, was defeated by the South Korean in the fourth round at this year's Australian Open and will be hoping to avenge that loss as he bids for a fifth Rogers Cup title in Tuesday's day session on Centre Court.
The official draw ceremony for the 2018 edition of Rogers Cup took place at Bisha in downtown Toronto and contains 19 of the top 20 players in the world. Canadian No.1 and 2017 Rogers Cup semifinalist Denis Shapovalov (Richmond Hill, ON) will start his campaign on Tuesday night against Jeremy Chardy, who he defeated in the first round of this year's Wimbledon.
In an all-Canadian Aviva Opening Night on Monday, August 6, Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) will face world No.11 David Goffin of Belgium, followed by rising star Felix Auger-Aliassime (Montreal, QC), who makes his Rogers Cup main draw debut against world No.19 Lucas Pouille. The 17-year-old Canadian will be bidding for just his fourth ATP Tour-level victory when he takes on the Frenchman for the first time.
World No.1 Rafael Nadal, who will face the winner of Benoit Paire versus a qualifier on Wednesday night, was on hand to help make the draw at Bisha. "I'm very excited to come back to Toronto," said Nadal, who is playing here for the first time since 2010. "[My win here in] 2008 was so special, because that victory [helped] me reach world No.1 for the first time. I've missed this tournament many more times because of tough injuries, so I'm looking forward to be back at a tournament that I love."
Vasek Pospisil (Vancouver, BC) will be looking to exact revenge on Borna Coric when the two face off in the first round in Toronto. World No.21 Coric defeated the Canadian in four sets in the Davis Cup first round earlier this year in their only previous meeting. Peter Polansky (North York, ON) will face Australian Matthew Ebden.
Three-time champion Andy Murray has opted not to take his wildcard after withdrawing from the Citi Open in Washington with fatigue.
"Sadly I won't be able to take my place in the draw in Toronto," said Murray. "I'd like to thank the tournament for a wild card, I always love playing in Canada but I've played quite a few matches this week in Washington and I need to be smart with my rest and recovery as I come back from injury."
Three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka, himself coming back from an injury last year, takes up Murray's main draw wild card and faces Australian Nick Kyrgios in another blockbuster first round clash.
Defending champion Alexander Zverev is on the opposite side of the draw as Nadal as the No.2 seed, while Argentina's Juan Martin Del Potro is seeded third. Grand Slam champion Marin Cilic, Wimbledon runner-up Kevin Anderson as well as the always-dangerous Grigor Dimitrov and Dominic Thiem also help to make a stacked men's field.

Shining, 'IX: Everyone, Everything, Everywhere, Ends' – Exclusive Track-by-Track Breakdown
Graham Hartmann Published: March 31, 2015
Swedish black metal force Shining has been described with many adjectives in the band's 19-year history. Some call Shining "suicidal" black metal, while others label the band as "depressive" black metal or "misanthropic" black metal. Infamous vocalist Niklas Kvarforth has never subscribed to any such label, which is why this track-by-track breakdown on Shining's ninth studio album, IX: Everyone, Everything, Everywhere, Ends, is best described in Kvarforth's own words.
Covered in knife wound scars and cigarette burns, Niklas Kvarforth's dedication to self-destruction is unmatched. Shining's music reflects the dark place where Kvarforth's mind resides, while the goal of Shining's mastermind is to drag you into that unknown territory. Despite this, much of Shining's music is eerily beautiful, as is the poetry Kvarforth weaves into his music -- both in English and Swedish.
Part Nine of Shining's sonic lineage won't be available until April 20, but we've got the exclusive track-by-track breakdown of IX: Everyone, Everything, Everywhere, Ends, written by Niklas Kvarforth himself:
"Den Påtvingade Tvåsamheten" / "Being Forced Into Twosomeness," or the transformation of Mrs. Selina, as seen through the eyes of a madman, is the first ever real "Intro" we have ever recorded. The idea of re-arranging this particular melody, however, has actually been tried out on several occasions before. The first time being during the Livets Ändhållplats sessions back in 2001. Yet, I never felt truly content with how any of these attempts had turned out and I therefore put the project on hold until it came back to haunt me when working on this new album. In retrospect, I think the wait was a necessity, and also a kind of personal statement that all past obstacles have now been conquered and destroyed.
"Vilja & Dröm" / "Will & Dream" is clearly stained by the compulsive need for retribution and revenge, which was, without a doubt, the main driving-force when writing this album. And, just as with the opening track on the Klagopsalmer album, this frustration and absolute need for instant bloodshed resulted in a musically uncompromising and hostile approach which forewarns the listener of the pitch-black darkness that will follow. Although that very darkness will take on shapes of both a known and an unknown nature, be warned.
Following similar paths as several other "ballads" of ours, "Framtidsutsikter" / "Future Prospects" melds all of them together into an epic journey in a downward spiral. Coincidence and the pure joy of creating something horrible was what made this song into what it is. Relying on a pulsating vibe of hopelessness and despair, the song is almost unbearable for me personally to listen to, which will make things extremely interesting when performed live, and will also probably be considered as one of the darker turns in our two decades long career. All Hail Misery!
"Människotankens Vägglösa Rum" / "Human Thoughts, A Room Without Walls," or, to be more precise, the opening riff, is what had me erupt in a maniacal outburst of creativity when Euge sent it to me on a Monday morning not too long ago, thereby breaking a lengthy writer's block I thought would never end, and resulting in the album you [will] hold in your hands. Lyrically, and somewhat musically, it is a perfect mirror-image of the schizophrenic nature that is Shining.
Usually the fifth song on a Shining album is by tradition a strictly instrumental one, but because of the opening track also being wordless, "Inga Broar Kvar Att Bränna" / "No More Bridges Left To Burn" ended up becoming more of a "real" song instead. The desperation explored within its lyrical content is, as many probably know, the basic formula which has been used in times of no influence and no inspiration. A strategy which throughout the years has resulted in many of the problems within, and around, the band.
The album closes with "Besök Från I(ho)nom" / "A Visit From WitHi(m)n," which is an idea I've been working on for several years. Therefore there are several nods to more or less every era of the band, however, in my opinion, executed in a completely new way. Surprisingly the easiest song to record, but maybe the hardest to digest. It speaks of an invisible, yet very present, horror, the holiest of saints, the one I bleed for and the one you are commanded to worship. The end of all.
Shining's IX: Everyone, Everything, Everywhere, Ends will be available April 20. To pre-order the album and various IX bundles, click here.

They All Want You to Ignore Recent Studies on Climate Change…
An important new study on Climate Change was released last week by multiple agencies of the Federal Government. The study concludes, again, that the world's temperatures are rising and that human activity is a significant cause.
So, did President Donald Trump embrace the science? The newly released study?
"I don't believe it." was all he said. He placed his uninformed opinion above the competent researchers that produced the report.
This nonsense only happens on the Right, right? Wrong. Here in Washington State, environmental activists are doing the same thing.
Two weeks ago, an independent and thorough study was released that shows building a proposed methanol plant in Kalama, Washington will reduce Global Greenhouse Gases by as much as is produced by 89% of all private cars on Washington State Roads.
The response from The Sightline Institute, Sierra Club Washington and The Columbia River keepers?
"Ignore the study!" (See here, for one example)
Wow. We on the Left can be as daft as the Right.
In September 2016, the Draft Environmental Impact Statement was released for a Methanol Production Plant proposed to be built in Kalama. The report made claims that building the plant would have net-positive effects on Global Greenhouse Gases (GHG). Specifically, that by building this plant & shipping methanol to China, that methanol would replace coal in Chinese production processes, resulting in a significant reduction of GHG. Or said more succinctly, using methanol for producing products in China is significantly cleaner than the coal that China currently uses.
More Research!!!
Activists, however, were not satisfied that the Draft Environmental Impact Statement provided enough research into the overall affects of building the plant.
Specifically, opponents, including Sightline Institute and Columbia River Keepers, wanted the State to consider not only the impacts of building the plant within Washington State, they wanted a more thorough study on both the upstream (the GHG that is produced in fracking the natural gas that the Kalama Plant would use) and the downstream (the GHG produced in transporting and burning the methanol in China).
Fair enough. I agree with them! We need to understand the entire lifecycle of the projects we build.
To that end, the Shoreline Hearings Board put the project permits on hold, and in May of this year, Superior Court Judge Stephen Warning (that name!) ordered exactly that, saying that the environmental review was inadequate & that a full lifecycle analysis had to be done.
Chop! Chop!
Behold! A Study!
So what happened? Well…as the Hearings Board, the Judge (Warning!), and environmentalists asked, a study WAS done. And not a small study, but a comprehensive cradle-to-grave lifecycle analysis of the entire project.
In other words, the opponents got exactly what they asked for…and guess what? The study answered and refuted not some, but most of their concerns.
The study concluded not only that building the plant would reduce the Global Greenhouse Gases by a little…it would reduce them by a lot!
Building the methanol plant at Kalama, according to the commissioned study, will reduce GHG by 11.5 million metric tons per year. That's just a number…so how much is 11.5 million metric tons? It's the equivalent of removing 89% of all privately owned cars from Washington State Roads.
Think how much work we do to try to improve transportation…and then realize that in one act, we could remove 89% of the negative impact of those cars. Now.
Environmentalists Are Satisfied! Right? Right?
The critics raised serious and important questions that needed to be answered. And they won! They forced the independent study! And the most important questions they were asking have now been answered.
You'd expect them to be satisfied, to move from being skeptics to supporters, right? After all, this project represents the single-largest reduction of GHG that Washington State will have ever undertaken. That's a win! Right?
In my 25 years in political activism, I've learned one important truth: activists are rarely happy.
Many are so identified with their opposition to a thing that they can't recognize when they've won an important battle. And that's what has happened here. Sightline, The Sierra Club and the Columbia River Keepers won an important battle. And they're still not happy.
Trump Wants Coal. Environmentalists Want Coal Too?
Trump has been busy trying to prop-up and revive the coal industry. And here again, we find a parallel with Sightline, Sierra Club and Columbia River Keepers.
These enviros are screaming "Fracked Gas!" as though they are telling you the whole story. They are not. Their complaints are short-sighted and disingenuous. Why? Because "fracked gas!" is only one side of the equation. The other side? Dirtier Coal.
By opposing the plant in Kalama, these environmentalists are propping up the coal industry in China. They are arguing that instead of taking this opportunity to displace coal, we should maintain the status quo. Do nothing. Allow China to simply proceed as normal. In other words, burn more and more coal.
The methanol produced in Kalama will replace a much dirtier fuel. So while we can all agree that fracked natural gas and fossil fuels are not a long-term solution to climate change, we should also be able to agree that taking strong steps to reduce the dirtiest sources of pollution should be a top priority. The methanol plant at Kalama does exactly that. In a big way.
But, don't just take my word for it
Read the report!

House of Cards is a dangerous and cheap exploitation of ignorance.
I've previously criticized journalists who mix fiction and non-fiction by using their persons to portray fictional journalists on TV.
But more than that, Netflix, its writers and producers, its executives and owners, cross a dangerous line when they mingle fiction with actual and current nonfiction issues.
For example, when they suggest that Frank Underwood is leaving to start a Foundation, to put himself where real power lies. When they mix in stories about Syria, chemical weapons, and Isis; stories which are current and which need real and nuanced understanding.
By playing loose with these real and present world issues, they are influencing the public with fantasy, not reality. It's irresponsible, immoral.
Morality; does any care about that?
Frank Underwood at one point says "there is no justice, only conquest." And Netflix is aiding that sentiment.
The most prescient danger we face is that people, even relatively well-informed people, can no longer distinguish between fact and fiction.
Netflix is playing that for laughs. For subscribers.
It's deadly serious.

Wherein reading the postmodern philosopher Jean Baudrillard causes recall the sage words of The Wiz:
"Disneyland is presented as imaginary in order to make us believe that the rest is real, whereas all of Los Angeles and the America that surrounds it are no longer real, but belong to the hyperreal order and to the order of simulation. It is no longer a question of a false representation of reality (ideology) but of concealing the fact that the real is no longer real, and thus of saving the reality principle." — Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation
'Living here, in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But it taught me to love
So it's real, real to me"

The primary reason given for gun ownership is protection. That is one valid potential use for a gun. But that is not the only way that a gun can be used. Here are common uses for a gun:
Intentional self-harm
Accidental self-harm
Intentional other-harm
Accidental other-harm
On this list, protection is statistically the least likely. Uses 2-5 are much more common than is protection. So, when a gun is introduced into a home, it is significantly more likely to be used for unintended reasons than for the intended reason.
That would be true in a home of one person. Now let's multiply the above list by the number of people who have proximity to that gun:
Visitors to the home
None of us can predict future circumstances or know of future mental states. None of us can predict the potential for mental illness (either permanent or temporary) either in ourself or in those with proximity to the gun.
Gun x Unintended Uses x Others x Unknown Future = Danger
Take the statistically more likely uses for the gun (2-5) and multiply that by the number of people proximity to that gun, and multiply that again by the unknown future mental state of any of those with proximity, and you begin to understand why a gun in the home is significantly more likely to be used in a manner that is not intended.
Homes with a gun are more dangerous than homes without a gun.

This age may not be as good for humanity as is commonly assumed. We are in grave danger of being harmed by too much information.
Information, on its own, is neither good nor bad. Rather it is either valid or invalid.
Signal-to-noise ratio is a measure used in science that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. In communication theory, this indicates the amount of valid information (the signal) to the amount of invalid information (the noise).
Signal can't be analyzed apart from noise. An increase in good signal does not automatically mean we are better informed; if there has been an even greater increase in bad noise, we are less informed.
The current presidential campaign is instructive. Turn on any news channel; by the end of the program, you will be left with more questions than answers. This is due to being given more noise than signal. And each day is increasing the noise, and thereby decreasing the signal.
Brandolini's Law: The amount of energy necessary to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it
News and journalism should increase signal & decrease noise. There can be no doubt news is now increasing noise. In fact, most journalism now revels in noise, because noise can create controversy, and controversy can increase viewers and readers.
It may be that humanity has not evolved in a way that allows us to process information as quickly as it is being presented. We have not been adequately educated to separate signal and noise.
The point is this: we are less informed today than we were yesterday. But, you may respond, what about all the new information we have received!?! It's true; we've been blessed with unprecedented levels of good information in the recent past. But if in that same period we have been flooded with misinformation, the net result is a reduction in knowledge, not an increase. If there is more noise, there is simply less signal.
This is not a small problem. It may very well be the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced. And we are losing.

I became angry at a fellow Democrat this weekend…
She's a solid Hillary Clinton supporter, never a doubt that she was going to vote for her. But over drinks, she said what we all hear over and over again about HRC: "She's a liar, she's power-hungry, she's…" You know the list.
Dear Everybody…Here are some things about Hillary Clinton you have insufficient evidence for:
She's dishonest
She's really in it for the power
She doesn't really care about the issues
She doesn't really love Bill
She's a cold, distant mother
She's a cold, distant grandmother
She's shrill
She's really in it for the money
She's in the pocket of Wall Street
She's really a Republican
She's really a Socialist
We are all free to hold to the "who would you rather have a beer with" trope. We are certainly free to make the judgements I list above. But if you judge Hillary Clinton without acknowledging the systemic and cultural sexism through which we judge her and the relentless nearly three decade campaign of deliberate misinformation that she's been subjected to, well then…
Who's being dishonest?
Has Hillary Clinton lied? Yes. After years of scrutinizing every charge that has been leveled at her (I know, I need a life), here's the one thing she's said that I think was a lie: the incident of "sniper fire" on her 1996 trip to Bosnia.
But rather than implicating her as a "liar" I marvel at how under such scrutiny, recorded in detail far greater than nearly any other human in history (maybe Princess Diana?), how little evidence there actually is for the primary narrative about her. Being honest with myself, I've lied and exaggerated stories. Even so, I value honesty and integrity, and would consider any judgement that labeled me "a liar" unfair.
"They who are without sin…"

Hillary Clinton & Racism
September 4, 2016 /0 Comments/in Articles by Timothy, Culture, more perfect, National, Philosophy, Political Science, Politics /by Timothy
Recently, in a discussion on racism among recent presidential candidates, a friend asked me what level of racism I think Hillary Clinton holds. Here is my answer:
Building a Scale: 1 to 10, 10 being the most racist.
Clinton: 2 or 3
Let's say there's a dividing line at 5, and the dividing point is whether a person is teachable on the subject of racism; do they fundamentally understand racism and are open to learning and improving on their own biases as well as the systemic racism in our culture? The dividing line is where I think it is ethical to call someone racist; above a 5 they are fairly labeled a racist, and below 5 they are not.
Rather than answer from my perspective alone, let's rely on the support that Clinton receives from the African American community (note, we could talk about minorities in general, including Latinos and Asians, for example, but for the purposes of this discussion, let's focus in on African Americans).
I'd place Clinton at 2 or 3 on the described scale. That means that she maintains the remnants of racism naturally inherent in all humans and the remnants of racism inherent in white privilege. But she's also keenly aware of her own racism and the racism in our society, and more specifically, the systemic ways racism manifests in government.
Let's look at how African Americans see her:
On the question of who they will vote for:
Clinton: 80 %
Trump: 3%
Let's look at favorability:
While Ciinton's favorability ratings among all voters sits at 41 favorable and 52 unfavorable, among African Americans, Clinton has an 83% favorability rating.
While one might conclude that she only does this well in contrast to Trump, I'd note that Clinton pulled similar numbers in her matchup with Bernie Sanders.
Finally, as a measure of her awareness on these issues, I'd direct you to read her policy positions:

Wikileaks is not Journalism
August 28, 2016 /0 Comments/in Articles by Timothy, Culture, more perfect, Philosophy, Political Science, Politics /by Timothy
Wikileaks has been dubbed "Journalism" in an attempt to secure a measure of legitimacy for what they do. Recently, I heard the analogy that Wikileaks is like Deep Throat and Woodward and Bernstein of Watergate fame.
Wikileaks are not Deep Throat or Woodward and Bernstein. Wikileaks are the burglars who broke into the Democratic National Committee office at the Watergate hotel. The info released by Wikileaks is the info stolen from the Democratic National Committee.
Imagine if the Washington Post, instead of telling us the story of the break-in as THE STORY, published the information stolen from the Democratic National Committee. And then treated the burglars as Journalists.
That's the state of both Wikileaks and our Press today. In the era of sensationalism, we've lost site of the real story. Let's not crown the Burglers of Watergate as the heroes.

"As for when "life" begins: The gametes that join to form the zygote that becomes the embryo are all alive. Life is no longer something that "begins." It is something that is transferred from one living thing to another. You carry within your cells a genetic code that connects you with every other living thing on the planet—as well as every other dead thing that was once alive. Plants, trees, bacteria, human embryos, etc., they carry remnants of the same genetic markers that you do because you are all related by a common ancestor (or several). Life began on this planet over a billion years ago—it hasn't begun since."

No More War?
August 18, 2016 /1 Comment/in Articles by Timothy, Culture, Life, more perfect, Philosophy, Political Science, Politics /by Timothy
We've all seen the picture. Heartbreaking.
A Washington State Delegate for Bernie Sanders posted this picture on Facebook and then stated "This is why we chant "No More War". Because NO child anywhere should have to have these experiences. I don't care who pulls the trigger, and I don't care who has to give the order. Humans should be working together to make our world a paradise, not fighting about money, food, water, oil or lines on a piece of paper."
In other words, he's using this picture to justify disrupting the DNC with chants of "No More War." He's using this picture to justify labeling Hillary Clinton a "War Monger."
Let's analyze that. This boy was just bombed by the Russian-backed Syrian Air Force. It may have been Russian Planes.
The overly simplistic chant of 'No More War' says that there's nothing to be done to come to the aid of this child and his family. It says that the U.S. should always stay out of such conflicts around the world.
How, exactly, would this approach help this child?
"Fifteen of the last 35 doctors in rebel-held eastern Aleppo have written a letter to Barack Obama with an urgent plea for intervention to stop the bombardment of hospitals in the besieged city by the Russian-backed Syrian air force."
Would the 'No More War' crowd simply shout down these doctors with that chant?
Radical leftists claim a moral high ground through simply ignoring reality. By staying out of the complex problems that exist in the World, they pretend to be unsullied. By lobbing opinions from the peanut gallery, they pretend to be offering solutions. In reality, they offer nothing.
The world is complex. War and peace are complex. Anyone who tells you otherwise has nothing meaningful to offer to the conversation.
The irony of this Facebook post is that he is using this picture to justify actions that would do nothing to help this child.

Alan Turing, Transforming the System of Government
December 25, 2013 /0 Comments/in Articles by Others, Articles by Timothy, Culture, National, Philosophy, Political Science, Politics /by Timothy
Alan Turing was perhaps one of the greatest minds the human race has ever known. He transformed the way we think of systems, and is often referred to as the father of computer science. But even now, in death, he is helping us to analyze a different kind of system, the system of human governance.
Alan Turing was convicted of the crime of being a homosexual. The punishment for that crime led to his taking his own life. Many now understand how egregious such conviction was, and have worked hard to change the laws around homosexuality. We are witness to one of the great advances in human rights as the system of democratic pluralism is leading the way in recognizing the fundamental right to the free expression of sexual orientation.
Human institutions make mistakes. Recently, the Queen of England granted Turing a Royal Pardon. I'm glad to see this action taken. There are many acts that our Government has taken, much more horrific even than this, for which we have yet to make amends.
Most important is to learn the core lessons of such mistakes, and to implement changes to the system of government to avoid similar mistakes going forward. Alan Turing is a hero; we honor his sacrifice by learning and applying the lessons.
"Nearly 60 years after his death, Alan Turing, the British mathematician regarded as one of the central figures in the development of the computer, received a formal pardon from Queen Elizabeth II on Monday for his conviction in 1952 on charges of homosexuality, at the time a criminal offense in Britain."

On Transcience by Sigmund Freud
December 2, 2013 /0 Comments/in Art, Articles by Others, Culture, Life, Philosophy, Weverse /by Timothy
Note from Timothy: As a child in the mormon religion, it was drilled into me that absent that faith, life would be meaningless. Again and again I was told that only the eternity of life, immortality, would imbue the existence of this life, my life, with importance. That only the hope of heaven could assuage the pain of death and loss. For many years, I accepted this notion, simply because everyone I knew and loved told me it was so.
Later, however, upon leaving my religion, I found a different formulation of value. I found that the lack of certainty in my own immortality gave increase to the value of each day, each new friend, and each new experience. I had found that my joy had been amplified.
As I look back upon that time, as I have fewer and fewer conversations with those who are still within the faith of my childhood, it strikes me that they have yet to allow themselves to mourn for the losses that have and will occur in their lives; and absent that mourning, they are unable to accept anew and fully the emergence of new beauty, new love, new truth. By refusing to let that which we love perish, we miss the opportunity to experience it as it is, in its true nature. And in this way, we lose the value of everything. Freud had found the same idea.
Not long ago I went on a summer walk through a smiling countryside in the company of a taciturn friend and of a young but already famous poet. The poet admired the beauty of the scene around us but felt no joy in it. He was disturbed by the thought that all this beauty was fated to extinction, that it would vanish when winter came, like all human beauty and all the beauty and splendour that men have created or may create. All that he would otherwise have loved and admired seemed to him to be shorn of its worth by the transience which was its doom.

What Is Your Relational Orientation?
May 6, 2013 /34 Comments/in Culture, more perfect, National, Philosophy, Political Science, Politics /by Timothy
In addition to sexual orientation, humans can identify a relational orientation.
The mating and social behavior of animals is of particular interest to humans. In our effort to understand the animal kingdom, we classify and document behaviors and traits, labeling a species as either "this" or "that". Leaving aside a Western or religious understanding of monogamy as lifelong and exclusive pair bonding, there are animals that tend toward monogamy (3-5% of the animal population) and animals that do not.
At best, these classifications give us approximations. Not every species fits nicely into categories, and individual members of a given species may behave differently than the norm. These qualifications aside, we're comfortable taking a 30,000 foot view of animal behavior and classifying them accordingly.
We tend to wear blinders, however, when looking at ourselves, the human animal. It is, perhaps, simply bias that prevents us from studying ourselves in the same way we do birds and bees.

Types of Transcription
GoLocalise offers transcription services for audio and video files in over 100 languages including English. Our expert team of transcribers will create a text version of your video or audio file, and we can also translate and/or voice over your transcript.
There are different variations of this service, all of which will result in a text document containing the dialogue from the source audio or video file:
Verbatim Transcriptions
This will include absolutely everything that is part of the footage, such as "ums, uhs", false starts, noise words, any sounds, etc. The transcriber will also leave the speech as it is, even in the case of incorrect phrase or language selection, colloquialisms and poor grammar.
Word For Word Transcriptions
This type of transcription will only include the speech, but the transcriber will leave out any redundant or unnecessary elements such as nervous stutters, false starts, etc. The speech will however stay the same and will not be edited.
General Transcriptions
With this type of transcription, the style will be "written" more than "spoken". Any grammar or syntax errors will be corrected in the process, and the text will read well and be grammatically correct.
We specialise in transcriptions that will be used as voice over scripts, (on-screen) captions and subtitles. Our experience in these fields has made us the top choice for clients all over the world who want to re-version their existing audiovisual content into several different language versions.
Transcriptions can be used for different purposes – as a script for a voice over session, or as reference when editing raw footage for example. We can also produce a time-coded and condensed version of the transcription that can be used for subtitling purposes.
No matter if your content is in English or any other language, we can help!
Once all elements are in the video, and the graphic elements have been created and localised, we can then rebuild the video and export it to whichever format and codec you need. We'll prepare your video project for any platform, including PAL, NTSC, VOD, the Internet, smartphones, game consoles, mp3 players and tablets.
Sound Good? Let's Get Started
3 Steps To High Quality Assurance
We use continuous quality control processes to monitor quality and accuracy at each and every stage of a translation project.
Hand-Picked Translators
Each translated document is edited by a second translator to ensure accuracy and to address any linguistic issues. Again, the work is assigned to a specialist according to subject matter.
At GoLocalise, the translation process goes one step further with a final quality assurance step. A third translator revises the document to verify that editing changes and formatting have been properly implemented, and that there are no omissions or typographical errors. Every translation is checked word for word against the original and any changes that are required are made to ensure that the correct terminology is used consistently throughout the text.
Don't leave your important communication to chance. Make sure your message is clearly understood by your audience and choose GoLocalise for your next voice over project. Check out our latest case studies.
We have thousands of passionate and professional voice over artists ready to work with you. Meet some of them in our blog stories.
No matter the type of voice you are looking for, we'll either have it in our books or find it and source it for you. We'll organise a casting and ensure you get the perfect voice to suit your needs.
Your project will be in the safe hands of one of our multilingual project managers. They will guide you through every step and ensure you understand the process.
Our industry has a tendency to use lots of technical jargon but your dedicated project manager will be on-hand to untangle the mess and explain all you need to know to ensure you only pay for what you need.
And for those recordings in languages which neither you nor your client speak, we'll bring a qualified pro to your session to add that essential ingredient.

Video Game Translation
E-Learning Translation
Audiovisual translation, or AVT, is a highly specialised type of translation, which is increasingly popular in today's digital world. We are surrounded by audiovisual content, so it makes sense that there is a type of translation that is suitable for the modern technological world.
AVT requires some of the same skills as general translation but also poses additional challenges. In subtitling for instance, the translator must fit the translation into the time and space constraints posed by the video; whilst in voice over the length of the translation must be considered and match the original as closely as possible. And these are just a few examples.
AVT is certainly no easy task and it takes a team of experienced professionals to do it well. This is where we can help you. We are highly specialised in AVT, so you can trust us to deliver products which look good, sound great and are perfectly suited to your target audience, all in your preferred format.
We know that a game doesn't just have to look good and play smoothly, it also has to sound great and read well too. That's why we, at GoLocalise, provide all our clients with carefully selected linguists, who are not only specialists in the video game field but are also gamers themselves.
GoLocalise provides your company with e-learning translation, localisation and voice over services, leaving you with a ready-to-host product.
We only employ highly skilled linguists who have extensive experience in e-learning and a sound understanding of the particular industry sector they are dealing with.
Our service includes the management of the whole process and the delivery of content adapted to foreign markets.
The steps and services involved in any end-to-end e-learning project are: the translation of the course and on-screen text; the localisation of the course graphics; the voice over recording of the course with your preferred voice over talent/s; and the quality control during which the localised course files are reviewed against the original files.
A Brief History Of Indonesian
Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is the official language of Indonesia. It is a standardized register of Malay, an Austronesian language that has been used as a lingua franca in the Indonesian archipelago for centuries. Most Indonesians also speak one of more than 700 indigenous languages. Indonesia is the fourth most populous nation in the world. Of its large population, the majority speak Indonesian, making it one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Most Indonesians, aside from speaking the national language, are often fluent in another regional language (examples include Javanese, Sundanese and Madurese), which are commonly used at home and within the local community. Most formal education, and nearly all national media and other forms of communication, are conducted in Indonesian. In East Timor, which was an Indonesian province from 1975 to 1999, Indonesian is recognised by the constitution as one of the two working languages (the other being English), alongside the official languages of Tetum and Portuguese. The Indonesian name for the language is Bahasa Indonesia(literally "the language of Indonesia"). This term is occasionally found in English. Additionally, English speakers sometimes use "Malay-Indonesian" to refer collectively to the standardized language of Indonesia (Bahasa Indonesia) and the Malay ofMalaysia, Brunei, and Singapore (Bahasa Melayu). In 2010, Indonesian had 42.8 million native speakers, and 154.9 million second-language speakers, who speak it alongside their local mother tongue, giving a total number of speakers in Indonesia of 197.7 million. It is common as a first language in urban areas, and as a second language by those residing in more rural parts of Indonesia. The VOA and BBC use Indonesian as their standard for broadcasting in Malay. In Australia, Indonesian is one of three Asian target languages, together with Japanese and Mandarin, taught in some schools as part of the Languages Other Than English programme. Indonesian is the official language of the Republic of Indonesia, thus its usage is encouraged throughout Indonesia. The Constitution of Indonesia 1945 Chapter XV specifies the flag, official language, coat of arms, and national anthem of Indonesia. The Indonesian law No. 24 year 2009 Chapter III Section 25 to 45 specifically mentions the status of the Indonesian language. Indonesian functions as a symbol of national identity and pride, and is a unifying language among the diverse Indonesian ethnic groups. It also serves as a vehicle of communication among the Indonesian provinces and different regional cultures in Indonesia. The language is used as the national official language, the language of education, communication, transaction and trade documentation, the development of national culture, science, technology, and mass media in Indonesia. According to Indonesian law, the Indonesian language is proclaimed as the unifying language during Sumpah Pemuda on 28 October 1928, developed further to accommodate the dynamics of Indonesian civilization. It was mentioned that the language was based on Riau Malay, though linguists note that this is not the local dialect of Riau, but the Malaccan dialect that was used in the Riau court. Since its conception in 1928 and its official recognition in 1945 Constitution, the Indonesian language has been loaded with a nationalist political agenda to unify Indonesia (former Dutch East Indies). This status has made Indonesian language relatively open to accommodate influences from other Indonesian ethnic languages, most notably Javanese as the majority ethnic group in Indonesia, and Dutch as the previous colonizer. As a result, Indonesian has wider sources of loanwords, compared to Malay. It was suggested that the Indonesian language is an artificial language made official in 1928. By artificial it means that Indonesian was designed by academics rather than evolving naturally as most common languages have, in order to accommodate the political purpose of establishing an official unifying language of Indonesia. By borrowing heavily from numerous other languages it expresses a natural linguistic evolution; in fact, it is as natural as the next language, as demonstrated in its exceptional capacity for absorbing foreign vocabulary.

A Powerful Guide to Action for People in Debt.
Debtors have been mocked, scolded and lied to for decades. We have been told that it is perfectly normal to go into debt to get medical care, to go to school, or even to pay for our own incarceration. We 've been told there is no way to change an economy that pushes the majority of people into debt while a small minority hoard wealth and power.
The coronavirus pandemic has revealed that mass indebtedness and extreme inequality are a political choice. In the early days of the crisis, elected officials drew up plans to spend trillions of dollars. The only question was: where would the money go and who would benefit from the bailout?
The truth is that there has never been a lack of money for things like housing, education and health care. Millions of people never needed to be forced into debt for those things in the first place.
Armed with this knowledge, a militant debtors movement has the potential to rewrite the contract and assure that no one has to mortgage their future to survive.
Debtors of the World Must Unite.
As isolated individuals, debtors have little influence. But as a bloc, we can leverage our debts and devise new tactics to challenge the corporate creditor class and help win reparative, universal public goods.
Individually, our debts overwhelm us. But together, our debts can make us powerful.
"The Debt Collective's Student Debt Strike is an important campaign to help build the mass movement we need to resist and abolish student debt." —Rep. Rashida Tlaib"Can't Pay, Won't Pay is less about the mechanics of finance than their meaning in the lives of billions of people around the world. And it is from this focus on personal meaning that the book derives its political power, plucking an identity that is associated with so much shame and silent suffering, and charging it with a new collective power to throw sand in the gears of capitalism." —Jacobin
"A quick and accessible read...an impassioned call to action." —Hyperallergic
"By prioritizing redress and repair, we can win free and universal education, housing, and healthcare. No one should have to go into debt to meet their basic needs,' Debt Collective declares in this urgent book, which lays out concrete strategies and a powerful vision for radical change." —Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
"This book explains why we are overdue for a debt revolution and, more importantly, how to do it. To abolish debt is to begin to rebuild society. We need to start doing so now." —David Graeber
"The Debt Collective has given us a visionary roadmap for forming an army of debtors that is powerful enough to make capital scream." —Naomi Klein
"Defusing explosive debts and undermining the legitimacy of the punitive, profitable debt system of the current United States is insurrectionary work, and uniting debtors in common cause is solidarity and justice work. This anticapitalist manual is a beautiful guide to how and why to do all those things." —Rebecca Solnit
"The Debt Collective turns a sense of entrapment into a collective call for liberation." —Stephanie Kelton
"This timely and outstanding book demonstrates the many predatory ways that debt stifles mobility for the most economically vulnerable. Fortunately it does not conclude there, but presents a political pathway. Through solidarity and collective action, debtor unions can forge a new economy that prioritizes finance working for all people, rather than our most vulnerable working for finance." —Darrick Hamilton
"Can't Pay, Won't Pay is a clear, readable, and hugely powerful account of debt resistance in the age of financialized capitalism. Debt Collective brilliantly summarizes the contradictions of debt-fueled growth, and demonstrates how ordinary people can work together to resist it. Can't Pay, Won't Pay is the bible of debt resistance—a must-read for activists and academics alike." —Grace Blakeley

Leaked Emails Reveal Shell's Lies In 2012 About OPL 245
In evidence to the Committee, Shell stated that neither Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) nor Royal Dutch Shell (RDS) "is or was at any point in the past involved in OPL 245". But a cache of leaked internal Shell emails tells a very different story. Far from being "uninvolved", RDS — the London-registered company at the pinnacle of the Shell group — appears to have the controlling mind behind the important decisions relating to Shell's involvement in OPL 245.

Anti-corruption groups are calling for an urgent inquiry into what would appear to be highly misleading statements made by Shell in evidence to an investigation by the 2012 Ad Hoc Committee of the House of Representatives into the corrupt OPL 245 oil bloc deal.

The Southerners Who Flew Confederate Flags at a Black Child's Birthday Have Been Indicted
Back in July, a disturbing cell phone video surfaced showing a caravan of white people in pick-up trucks waving confederate flags and yelling at a group of black people during a child's birthday party in Atlanta.
Officers responded to the disturbance and took down conflicting statements of what happened. Levi Bush, who led the caravan, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that his group, Protect the Flag, is not hateful, and were attacked when one of their trucks got a flat tire. Melissa Alford, whose family hosted the party, said the people in the trucks were armed and threatened to "kill y'all (racial slur)."
Nearly three months later, an Atlanta district attorney has announced that he has won indictments against 15 supporters of the Confederate Flag convoy, accusing them of violating the state's anti-street gang ordinance, the Times reports.
"Each of the 15 was indicted on one count of making terroristic threats, and a second count of unlawfully participating in 'criminal gang activity,'" according to the Times.
"We respect the rights of all citizens to exercise their First Amendment right," said district attorney Brian Fortner. "But we're going to require them, when doing that, to respect the rights of all of the citizens to feel safe and secure."
Now, if only Georgia could do something about those horrible Confederate Flag license plates.

Best school in all of Gippsland
Added 25 Oct 2017 | Added by: The Mirror | Last updated 16 Feb 2018 by Linda Giddy ⋅ Post a comment
• Principal Matt McPhee and Vice Principal Dean Duursma celebrate results with students from Foster Secondary College.
FOSTER Secondary College is officially the highest performing secondary school from Mallacoota all the way to down near Dandenong.
Principal Matt McPhee and Vice Principal Dean Duursma were handed their School Performance Report last week and they could not be happier.
Shane Wainwright the Senior Education Improvement Leader for South East Victoria Region of DET went over the report and the school's performance with the school leadership last week.
Mr. Wainwright is responsible for overseeing school performance in the area.
On all measures the school is performing at the highest level so much so that it is acting as an influencer.
"That means that as a 'system leader' people will be sent from under-performing schools to learn what we're doing so they can take it back to their schools," said Matt.
When he came to Foster Secondary College 3 years ago Matt felt the school was quite different to any other he had worked in.
"I don't think the community here realises just how high performing we are," he said.
"Why would you send your child 45 minutes up the road and pay $8000 and get something inferior. We beat the private schools hands down.
"People think because it's private it's better and that's just not the case."
"Any local child that gets on a bus to attend secondary school outside the local area is one child too many. Foster Secondary College is first and foremost a community school and our goal is to have every local child enjoy the benefits of the outstanding education and pastoral care on offer here."
The school was rated highly in reading, numeracy, student attitude, school climate and engagement.
"Our VCE results have been excellent for the past few years. Our 2015 Dux, Chloe Wood was featured in the Herald Sun. The school does an amazing job at supporting all students to find their pathway regardless of their performance in VCE," Matt said.
"Over the past three years every graduating student has ended up doing what they were planning to do."
Dean Duursma agrees. "Whether it was a vet course or an apprenticeship, full-time employment or a university course, they were all able to achieve a successful outcome."
Matt says the morale at the school is fantastic at the moment.
"There's a real sense of common purpose and we've had a couple of big wins moneywise."
The gym roof has been repaired for around $500,000 and it didn't cost the school a cent.
The school successfully put in two emergency maintenance applications to the Education Department.
"We're pretty pumped. We feel the place is humming along nicely," Matt said.
"Foster Secondary College is a high performing school with dedicated staff making a real difference for our kids."
