Am I the only one who feels like HTTYD isn't as memeable as Shrek or KFP? I know we have "You're as beautiful as the day I lost you." and the famous dancing Toothless, but that one was really from a parody recap. Other than that, I really don't see a lot of memes from it.

I think that means HTTYD is successfully doing its job with the type of narration it intends.

There are comedic lines like "talking fishbone" and "thanks for nothing, you useless reptile" that fandom has parroted since the early days. There's Hiccup encouraging Toothless while the Light Fury looks aghast as a meme template. And fandom can find anything to josh with, be it Hiccup's hot froglegs in HTTYD 2, or Hiccup's love affair with scrap metal from RTTE, or throwing everyone in the dungeon who made a Stoick joke (I am DATING my time in the fandom here, y'all). There will always be moments we play with, as it were.

But HTTYD, while funny, is built on heart. Shrek and KFP have heart, too (especially KFP), but they're built around different vibes (especially Shrek). Shrek was an intentional, abrupt, genuinely shocking aberration from animated fairy tale movies. For people who weren't around when it happened, there's a REASON it was a HUGE, rocking sensation and has become part of permanent culture. Meanwhile, KFP is a comedy action. HTTYD, at its core, is the story of a boy and his dragon, and a boy and his dad. I wouldn't expect fan response or general societal response to respond to these different frameworks the same way.

When audiences think about the impact of HTTYD, they aren't thinking about the pleasurable absurdisms that lead to "You're tearing me APART, Lisa!" or "I don't like sand" (which actually, for the record, I think is an unironically good character scene, sue me).

You ever watch a movie where they try soooo hard to be meme-able? Or they're throwing in jokes at places they shouldn't? I'm not not not saying it happened here, but one of the things I think THW could've improved was by reducing the number of gags it tried to run - while competing for time to emotionally conclude a sweeping trilogy. Sometimes it's not the place for a movie to have the content that'd make it meme-able. HTTYD's always been funny, yeah, and that's part of the franchise's charm. But different types of funny bring different audience results, and you ain't gonna beat Shrek when it comes for appropriate humor vibes for memes.

I could be forgetting a ton in my sleep-deprived state. But I'd agree it's not as meme-able as Shrek, one of the most meme-worthy pieces of media to exist. It means both have their place in the ecosystem of movies, and it makes both of them fantastic for what they are.

so you start by looking at advertising as something that "brands" do and analyse it based on what's in the interest of the companies that operate those brands and then you can zoom in to look at the people who work there and consider their interests, which might differ from the interests of the company in the same way that management and employees and shareholders can all have different interests, but you can also zoom out and look at the behaviour of entire industries, and I think that can sometimes make more sense even though there's a danger of getting detached from reality the more abstract you get.

for example, most brands in a given industry will advertise in similar ways, such that you can mention "a car ad" or "a fast food ad" and people will know what you mean (and not just people, it's obvious enough that AI can figure this out too!)

and there are reasons for the convergence, whether it's because certain ideas just work or become so strongly associated with a product category that they're necessary to communicate what it is you're selling, or simply because companies rely on the same advertising consultants and design follows fashion just like everything else; occasionally an ad may break the mold but the majority will follow a very familiar template, the same language.

but wait, isn't advertising supposed to differentiate your product from others? if all fast food companies associate their product with hunger satisfaction and thirst quenching and being cool and happy, how does it help you choose one over the other?

I think to some extent it doesn't! but it boosts the fortunes of the industry as a whole, making it a weirdly cooperative venture, an inversion of the idea of trees all competing to be the tallest and more like a Gaia hypothesis of the industry as one organism responding to commercial imperatives as a collective.

now of course you can't read too much into this, competition does exist and companies do try to differentiate themselves, and following the idea that every industry is working as a collective to implement a shared agenda will lead you to some strange places, but it's still worth considering advertising from that perspective.

(and you might go even higher than individual industries and see advertising as just one facet of the way culture perpetuates itself across time, an even more powerful framework that's even more detached from material reality).

Revolutionizing Professional Development: Mentoring Goal Setting and Tracking in Purpose-Driven Mentoring

Mentoring Management Application introduces a transformative Mentoring goal-setting and tracking feature designed to strengthen mission-driven organizations. This powerful functionality enables mentors and mentees to establish clear objectives, monitor progress, and achieve measurable outcomes through structured digital tools. By combining sophisticated tracking mechanisms with purpose-driven goal-setting frameworks, this feature stands ready to become the cornerstone of impactful mentoring programs.

The Strategic Impact of Mentoring Goal Setting in Goal-Based Mentoring

The Mentoring goal-setting and tracking feature in the Mentoring Management Application is engineered to enhance how organizations develop their talent and advance their missions. Through its systematic goal tracking for mentorship capabilities, organizations can expect strengthened mentor-mentee relationships, improved capability development pathways, and more purposeful advancement opportunities. The feature’s comprehensive tracking mechanisms and collaborative tools create an environment where meaningful impact and professional growth thrive together.

Key Components of Effective Goal Setting in Mentoring

SMART Goals Framework Integration :

The implementation of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals within mentoring programs provides a robust foundation for success. This framework enables mentees to clearly articulate their aspirations while allowing mentors to deliver targeted guidance. Mentoring platforms that incorporate SMART goal templates help participants create well-structured objectives that drive meaningful progress through Goal-oriented mentoring.

Milestone Planning and Progress Tracking :

Breaking down long-term goals into manageable milestones creates clear pathways for achievement. Digital tracking systems allow mentors and mentees to monitor progress, celebrate small wins, and maintain motivation throughout their development journey. Regular milestone reviews ensure continuous advancement and help identify potential obstacles before they become significant barriers, improving mentor-mentee achievement tracking.

Performance Metrics and KPI Monitoring :

Quantifiable metrics provide concrete evidence of mentoring program effectiveness. Key Performance Indicators might include skill acquisition rates, project completion times, promotion rates, or specific competency improvements. Digital tracking systems automatically collect and analyze these metrics, providing valuable insights for program optimization, and making Mentoring software goal-tracking more impactful.

Benefits of Digital Goal Tracking in Mentoring Programs

Enhanced Accountability and Engagement :

Digital goal tracking establishes shared responsibility between mentors and mentees. The system’s transparency ensures both parties remain focused on achieving established objectives while maintaining consistent engagement. Regular progress updates and automated reminders keep mentoring relationships active and productive. This level of monitoring also contributes to Mentoring success tracking.

Data-Driven Decision Making :

Access to real-time progress data empowers mentors and program administrators to make informed decisions about mentoring strategies. Analytics help identify successful approaches, areas requiring additional support, and opportunities for program enhancement. This data-driven approach leads to continuous program improvement and better outcomes in goal tracking for mentorship.

Streamlined Progress Documentation :

Digital tracking eliminates manual record-keeping, reducing administrative burden while ensuring accurate documentation. Automated progress tracking allows participants to focus on meaningful interactions rather than paperwork, leading to more productive mentoring relationships.

Best Practices for Implementing Goal Tracking

Regular Review and Adjustment Cycles :

Successful mentoring programs incorporate structured review cycles to assess progress and adjust goals as needed. These periodic evaluations ensure objectives remain relevant and achievable while maintaining forward momentum. Digital platforms facilitate efficient scheduling and documentation of these important check-ins.

Multi-dimensional Progress Tracking :

Effective goal tracking for mentorship systems captures both quantitative and qualitative progress indicators. This comprehensive approach provides complete visibility into mentee development across various competencies and objectives. Digital platforms can integrate multiple tracking methods, from skill assessments to feedback surveys.

Collaborative Goal-Setting Process :

Goals should be established through collaborative discussions between mentors and mentees, incorporating input from relevant stakeholders. Digital platforms facilitate this collaboration by providing shared workspaces, goal templates, and communication tools that streamline the goal-setting process through effective mentor matching.

Impact on Organizational Success

The Mentoring goal-setting and tracking feature in the Mentoring Management Application is engineered to deliver meaningful results across organizations. Through its comprehensive goal management system, organizations can amplify their impact while developing their talent effectively. The structured approach helps mentees align personal growth with organizational purpose, while built-in tracking mechanisms ensure relationships stay focused on creating positive change. With data-driven insights for program optimization and comprehensive analytics for measuring outcomes, organizations can demonstrate both professional development success and mission advancement. This powerful combination positions organizations to build sustainable, purpose-driven teams that create lasting impact.

Future Trends in Mentoring Goal Management

Digital mentoring platforms continue to evolve with innovative features that enhance goal-setting and tracking capabilities. Mobile integration enables real-time progress updates and feedback, while predictive analytics help identify optimal development paths based on historical program data. Future developments will push the boundaries of Mentoring goal setting and tracking.

The Growing Importance of Mentoring Goal Setting and Tracking for Organizational Success :

Goal setting and tracking functionality represent a fundamental feature in modern mentoring management applications. By providing structure, accountability, and measurable outcomes, this capability transforms traditional mentoring relationships into strategic development initiatives that drive organizational success. Organizations seeking to enhance their mentoring programs must prioritize implementing robust goal-setting and tracking features. This investment delivers tangible returns through accelerated employee development, increased engagement, and stronger alignment with strategic objectives.

The integration of digital goal tracking for mentorship in mentoring programs creates a systematic approach to professional development that benefits all stakeholders. As organizations continue to recognize the value of structured mentoring programs, the role of Mentoring goal setting, and tracking will become increasingly central to achieving successful outcomes in professional development initiatives.

Labour's devolution and reorganisation plans raise five big questions

First published on LabourList 6.2.25.

As six areas are fast-tracked to establish new Strategic Authorities this is a good week to reflect on Labour’s devolution policy. In the priority areas county council elections due in May will be postponed. Over the coming months, district councils and small unitaries will have to agree new, unitary, council boundaries. Elections will be held in May 2026 for directly elected mayors and the new unitaries. Labour has a 200 seat majority and four years to run so despite some rumbling, the  prevailing mood is ‘this is going to happen’ . and the debate is  ‘how will this work in practice’,  

The big picture is now familiar. Individual ‘devo deals’ will be replaced with a statutory framework for three levels of Strategic Authorities with different levels of powers and resources. These range from the well-established city regions  ‘Established Strategic Authorities’ to the less well-grounded or newer devolved areas with mayors ‘Mayoral Strategic Authorities’ , and finally those that choose not to have mayors for now ‘Foundation Strategic Authorities’.

New powers can be added to the framework, but not removed, creating ‘devolution by default’ over time.  It should be clear how a Strategic Authority can be ‘promoted’ from one level to another. ‘Established Strategic Authorities’ will get single pot’ budgets covering a range of largely growth focussed budgets in the Established areas, with a much more extensive list of consultative/collaborative areas. Most strategic authorities will receive some additional finance and the promise of engagement with a wider range of government bodies. All areas will be required to produce a strategic spatial plan, vital to the government’s housing and growth ambitions.

The White Paper is a significant step but, welcome though it is, it is only a limited attempt to reverse the extraordinary erosion of local democracy.  For five decades councils have been increasingly underfunded and had their fiscal autonomy – the power to raise money – curtailed. Services once provided locally have either been privatised (buses), transferred to weakly regulated sectors (social housing, schools), or run from the centre (strategic and much of local planning). Swathes of public services are now unaccountable to local voters, users or central government ministers. What power councillors retain has been concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. And it will be years before most of England has even the limited powers enjoyed by Greater Manchester or the West Midlands. 

As we move forward, Labour members should be thinking about how to make the most of the radical potential that has been opened – but not yet delivered – by the White Paper. There are five key issues

Where should devolved regions sit within the ‘constitution’?

Can we move beyond the statutory devolution framework to create that,��without the constitutionally embedded layer of devolved local government common across Europe? In most nations, powers, competences and resources are not just devolved from the centre but belong as of right to the lower tiers of government. To do this, we might give local government – perhaps via the Mayors Council – a statutory role in shaping devolution policy and the fiscal framework for local government. A new system of local accountability – floated in the White Paper and reinforced by Jim McMahon on Wednesday – could replace upwards reporting to the centre. But there will be tensions around whether local growth plans will be locally led or forced into a national template.

What powers should local councils have control over?

It wouldn’t make sense just to turn the clock back to council powers of 40 years ago, but we should be asking what we want the local democratic state to provide and not wait to see what the centre throws our way. What should the local authority and mayoral role be in relation to schools/social housing/health/planning/community wealth building/procurement/skills/transport/arts/culture and leisure? If we don’t know and demand it, central government is hardly likely to give it away.

Can we reform local budgets to make them more efficient?

Even with devolution, most local public spending will not pass through strategic or local authorities. Health, police, probation, fire and rescue and the social security budget lie outside, but it is often the failure to join up services and investment in prevention that leads to a shocking waste of scarce taxpayers’ money. The White Paper highlights ‘Total Place’: an initiative at end of last Labour government that looked at all public money in an area and asked how best to spend it to support local people. This approach – which would put councils at the centre of re-imagining all public services – would include reallocating local spending from one service to another and shifting spending from crisis towards prevention. 

How do we keep new councils connected with communities?

It’s not yet clear how democratic Labour’s devolution will be. Smaller councils will be abolished, taking decisions away from local communities. Mayors may gain powers from the centre, but some mayors want to pull powers up from local councils too, concentrating power in the hands of a few.

The system needs a healthy, respectful and democratic relationship between voters, local communities, councils, strategic authorities and mayors. It will be important to ensure the right balance of powers and responsibilities, given that no two areas are the same. Perhaps Mayors, strategic authorities and local authorities should be required to set out how their own powers will be exercised at the lowest possible level, including town and parish councils, community empowerment models, and deliberative participation.

How do we design the structures of devolved regions?

New Strategic Authorities will need officer and management structures to support their work, the new Mayors and, where needed, coordinate local authorities. How this is done will make a big difference to how it feels to be a citizen in a Strategic Authority area. Most of today’s combined authorities have a ‘mini-Whitehall’ model, mirroring responsibilities that come down from Whitehall. This might work in coherent city-regions where most local authorities share the same regional vision (and perhaps political leadership), thought it can feel pretty remote from local neighbourhoods. It might be less effective where identities are weak and councils have diverse perspectives. Flatter, networked structures which encourage a  collective vision and build local authority capacity may be cheaper and better.

For English readers of LabourList, this is now happening in real time, with a Communities White Paper and an English Devolution Bill to come. We should make the most of the opportunities they offer.

Corporate Brochure Template

Businesses must have an influence in the cutthroat business world of today. A corporate brochure is one of the best ways to introduce your company to possible customers, investors, and partners, regardless of how big or little your firm is. A strong marketing tool that conveys the message of your company, highlights your goods and services, and leaves a lasting impression is a well-designed brochure.

Why Use a Corporate Brochure Template?

Making a business brochure from the ground up might be difficult. To create a visually appealing brochure, you need to have both graphic design expertise and a solid grasp of your brand’s messaging. Corporate brochure templates are useful in this situation. Without requiring in-depth design skills, a template is a pre-made layout that enables you to rapidly alter text, graphics, and branding components.

The following are some justifications for thinking about utilizing a corporate brochure template:

1. Saves Time and Effort

It takes effort to create a brochure from scratch, particularly if you’re not accustomed to using design software. Templates simplify the process by offering a structure that is simple to alter. To get started, simply add your company’s information and modify the style to fit your brand.

2. Cost-Effective

A competent designer can be costly to hire. This could not be a practical choice for a lot of firms, especially startups and small enterprises. With the help of corporate brochure templates, you may produce a high-quality brochure without breaking the bank.

3. Professional-Quality Designs

Professional designers generate the majority of brochure templates, which adhere to contemporary design trends. This guarantees that your target audience will find your brochure appealing, clean, and up to date. Even if you have no experience with design, using a template ensures that your brochure will seem polished and professional.

4. Consistency Across Marketing Materials

It’s simpler to keep all of your marketing materials consistent when you use a template. Numerous templates come with color schemes and layouts that are simple to modify to fit the brand standards of your business. This makes it easier to make sure that the visual identity of your firm is consistent across all of your brochures, business cards, and other marketing materials.

5. Ease of Customization

The purpose of corporate brochure templates is to make them easy to use. The majority of designs are easily customizable, so you may alter the content, images, colors, and fonts to fit your brand. You may still take advantage of the time-saving design framework and maintain control over the appearance of your brochure thanks to this flexibility.

Week 11: November 13th - Prototype 4

Lowkey the title of this is misleading because this week was more about finding direction, organizing ideas, and collecting materials than creating a new prototype.

I met with both Jeff and Nancy to discuss the progress of my project and here were my key takeaways:

Try different ways of working. Make something with a direct stance or only explore collage through visual. Try cutting up objects and images

Meaning could come from source material

Paint into collage... i.e. Rauschenberg combines

Scan, print, cut, re-collage...

Themes of duplication in mass media

Fred Tomaselli: Pills and Thrills

Joseph Cornell

I have a template for montage with small, medium, large, texture, competing perspective

If I am the channel through which images are passing, what images are circulating through me? Which ones do I want to keep? What images resonate with me and why?

Let digital materiality come forth... pixels, blur, color halftone

Run pics through photoshop. Look at physicality and quality of printed photos

Show limits of digital technology?

Andreas Gursky

Sarah Sze

Visual Research is listed here.

After discussing my progress with professors and classmates, I concluded that I need to collect more images. My goal over the break and before the final critique is to create an image archive with as many images I can get, which may include going to the NYPL and accessing their collection. I'll see what kinds of materials I can find while I am home too. Overall, I needed this week to make sure I was still going in the right direction and make sure it was ok that I don't have an explicit statement yet. I feel like I have a good framework going into the final crit.

The Essential Skills of a JavaScript Programmer

In the web development niche, JavaScript is a vital and widely used programming language that powers front-end as well as back-end technologies. Whether you are considering the development of a dynamic user interface or management of server-side logic, a skilled JavaScript developer is the key to your project success.

For this competent role you need to know what you need to look for in the applicants when you set out to hire a JavaScript programmer. Apart from qualifications and expertise you must also screen them for their skill set to ensure efficiency, innovation, and reliability in your team. In this article, let’s look at what are the key skills that constitute a proficient JavaScript developer.

Must-Have Skills for JavaScript Programmers

Strong understanding of Core JavaScript (ES6+)

A thorough comprehension of the fundamental JavaScript concepts is a must when you hire JavaScript developers. This involves being proficient with ES6 and later versions, which brought significant enhancements like classes, modules, template literals, and arrow functions. 

Async/await, promises, and destructuring are examples of modern JavaScript capabilities that are essential for building code that is more organized and effective. The ability to create scalable and maintainable apps is enhanced for developers who are knowledgeable about the most recent ECMAScript standards.

Knowledge of back-end development with Node.js

JavaScript is no longer limited to front-end development. Node.js is a flexible full-stack solution since it enables JavaScript to be utilized on the server side. Experience with Node.js and associated technologies like Express.js is essential for a JavaScript developer for hire. As a result, they can contribute to a unified, all-JavaScript stack by managing server-side duties like database operations, API development, and even server maintenance.

Experience in front-end frameworks and libraries

JavaScript excels in front-end development, and familiarity with well-known frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js is crucial. These frameworks make it easier to create dynamic, interactive web applications and streamline the development of intricate user interfaces. Making sure that when you hire JavaScript coders they are proficient in at least one of these frameworks will greatly expedite development time and guarantee a more reliable final output.

Version control and collaboration tools

For any coder, knowing version control systems like Git is essential. JavaScript developers must effectively manage code changes, collaborate on projects, and monitor progress because they frequently work in teams. To preserve project integrity and promote productive teamwork, make sure JavaScript programmers are at ease using Git, GitHub, and other comparable systems before you recruit them.

Problem-solving and debugging skills

JavaScript programmers need to be skilled at effectively debugging and solving complicated challenges. Because web applications are dynamic, errors and performance problems are unavoidable. For expanding horizons with JavaScript developers they should be able to manage debugging with methods like console logging and breakpoints and troubleshoot problems with developer tools like Chrome DevTools. Delivering a high-quality solution that works well across distinct browsers and devices requires the ability to solve problems.

Concluding Words

From a deep rooted understanding of the core concepts of the language to proficiency in modern frameworks and tools, JavaScript programming requires a diverse skill set. When you hire JavaScript developers ensure that they have expertise in front-end and back-end development along with exceptional soft skills to build successful applications that address today’s demand.
