This halberd, with its slightly concave axe blade, wide apical spike with sharp mid-ridge, strongly curved beak, and fancifully scrolled general outline, is typical of the parade weapons used by palace guards of German princes during the second half of the sixteenth and throughout the seventeeth centuries. Its entire surface, including the square socket and the long steel straps (Schaftfedern) fastening the head to the shaft, is profusely etched with scrollwork and grotesques. On either side of the axe blade is an etched rondel containing the coat of arms of Wolfgang Dietrich von Raitenau, Prince Archbishop of Salzburg, quarterly, 1 and 4 per pale, or, a lion sable, and gules, a fess argent (Salzburg); 2 and 3, argent, a ball sable (Raitenau), surmounted by a cardinal's hat. On a small cartouche approximately in the middle of the spike is etched the date 1589.

Fred Van Vleck Superintendent | EHS Students Receive Seal of Biliteracy Awards

Shared by Fred Van Vleck Superintendent of Eureka City Schools. Eureka High School Students Earn 43 California State Seals of Biliteracy in 7 World Languages Honored Among 113 Students by the Humboldt County Office of Education May 19, 2023 – Eureka, CA – The Humboldt County Office of Education held its 11th Annual Seal of Biliteracy Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, May 16, 2023 at the Sequoia Conference Center in Eureka. This year HCOE celebrated 113 students that earned the California Department of Education’s Seal of Biliteracy in one or more of 11 languages representing nine different high schools in Humboldt County. Eureka City Schools is proud to announce that Eureka High School made quite the statement this year with its students earning 43 Seals of Biliteracy in seven World Languages. These remarkable students were honored with an official certificate and a medal for achieving Biliteracy. Four students (below in bold) achieved multiliteracy and received their Seal in three languages including English. The students were accompanied by their families and dedicated staff from the EHS World Languages Department and EHS Counselors.  Every school year Eureka High School offers its students the opportunity to be assessed to receive their California Seal of Biliteracy. The State Seal of Biliteracy (SSB), marked by a gold seal on the diploma or transcript, recognizes high school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing one or more languages in addition to English. Eureka High School Counselor Sarah Cruz says, “The process allows for students to have their language skills verified to colleges and future employers. Many of these students have taken four years of a world language at Eureka High or speak their own heritage language in addition to English.” Eureka High currently offers Spanish, German and Yurok. This year EHS students received Seals of Biliteracy in Spanish, German, Hmong, Vietnamese, Czech, Gujarati and Chinese Mandarin. Join us in congratulating them!

MARTIN RIGGS - LETHAL WEAPON

“I’m an open book, what would you like to discuss?”  How about your wife.  “Next question.”

“I’m starting to forget things about her, little things. God knows I don’t want to but I am. I can’t do anything about it.”

“It’s like the anger’s always been there. It’s like a, like a fire, you know. Sometimes I get so hot, I just want to jump outside of myself, you know.”

“That's what you're worried about? I did like seven illegal things before I got here this morning.”

WOLFGANG BOGDANOW - SENSE8

“He’s my brother. And not by something as accidental as blood… by something much stronger. By choice.“

“If I was interested, it would already be mine.”

“There are worse things than dying.”

“How was I supposed to know he’d be wearing a bullet proof vest? Who wears a bullet proof vest in real life!”

TAKESHI KOVACS - ALTERED CARBON

Don’t you have anything to say? “Oh I’m sorry, I was waiting for a question. It was all monologue there for a while, so I kind of tuned it out.”

Who are you supposed to be now? “Someone you should truly not have fucked with.“

“All I want is a bed and no more bullshit for one day.” 

“Anything can set me off. Dictatorship, genocide, people who talk too much.”

“Just attack me, please. It’ll hurt less than listening to this.” 

“The moments of peace that we find sometimes, they aren’t anything but warfare, thinly disguised.“

[singt0me]

For the writers ask game: 5, 17, 20, and 50?😃😃😃

 hellooo!!

5. Books or authors that influenced your style the most. 

I would say Patrick Ness and Donna Tartt are the top two authors who have influenced me the most. Maggie Stiefhdshhsj has that kinda whimsical, low key sarcastic sub tone that I feel like I go for a lot, so her, too. Books like the chaos walking series and more than this (both written by Ness) resonate in my mind very strongly. All these books have that kind of post-apocalyptic, living among the apocalypse, humans just carry on as best as they can vibes that i just Love. 

I feel slightly obligated to mention the maze runner series so. Those, too.

Honorable mentions (in which i just recommend books): 

The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta: I haven’t actually read this book but I own it and plan to very soon!! but the tv adaptation is probably one of my favourite pieces of media Ever and tbh it’s influenced me and my writing style a lot. I mean A Lot. 

Why We Took The Car (Tschick Roman) by Wolfgang Herrndorf: Super cute and touching coming of age novel about two boys who steal a car and take a road trip across Germany. It’s basically a fanfic road trip au idk what else to tell you.  

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller: I know the entirety of tumblr has read this book but yes this too Oh My God. 

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett: An angel and a demon have One Job and that is to watch over the anti-christ but they can’ even do that.

More (bc this is getting long): Nightfall by Jake Halpern, Peter Kujawinski, Miss Peregrine’s series by Ransom Riggs, All for The Game by Nora Sakavic, Circe by Mads Miller, Timekeeper by Tara Sim, Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson, and How to Live Safely in a Science-fictional Universe by Charles Yu and Gent’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee. 

17. On avarage, how much writing do you get done in a day?

Lately it’s been about 2k but it can range from 300 words to 3k+ depending on what mood I’m in.

20. Post a snippet of a WIP you’re working on.

Thomas’ knees almost give out thesecond he is up, but Newt is quick to catch him, and they stand in the middle ofthe room; two strangers in a half embrace. Thomas’ hair tickles his nose andNewt worries about the state of his breath, for a moment, when Thomas turnstoward him and smiles, awkward, and mumbles, “Thanks.”

Newt smiles back, just as awkward. “Noproblem,” he says, adjusting his hold of Thomas’ waist.

“Sorry, this is weird –”

“It isn’t weird,” Newt says, before he can stop himself, and Thomasgives him an unreadable look in return. The radio plays in thecorner, a slow, dreamy melody that Newt doesn’t recognise.

50. Weirdest story idea you’ve ever had.

(shameless self promo time) I’d have to say the Monster Mash series right here :D

reading challenge ‘17

the year is coming to an end and it’s time to tell you about the books i read in 2017. i used popsugar’s challenge - the link is unfortunately not valid anymore so it looks like they removed it from their site - and ended up reading only 27 of the 40 mandatory prompts, and i never even got started on my list for the 12 advanced prompts. i’m not unhappy though, and next year i’ll do my best to finish a full list. if you’ve found any good reading challenges - hit me up!

Will big brands disrupt higher education?

Daniel Pianko Contributor

Daniel Pianko is co-founder and managing director of University Ventures, a fund focused on innovation from within higher education.

Why Silicon Valley Falls Short When It Comes To Education

Carol D’Amico Contributor

Carol D’Amico is executive vice president of Strada Education Network, a national nonprofit dedicated to strengthening America’s pathways between education and employment.

In the years to come, who will hospitality hiring managers trust to credential students: Cornell University or the Four Seasons? Will it be Google or Penn State that sets the standards that determine who qualifies as a good computer programmer? Could GE define competency in aeronautic engineering rather than Vaughn College? Should employers place more value in a fashion credential backed by the editors of Vogue or the Pratt Institute?

Institutions of higher education are, of course, not unfamiliar with branding. The brands of top-tier institutions shape not just consumer sentiment, but the market and regulatory landscapes that have governed their existence for decades. The single greatest determinant of U.S. News & World Report rankings is reliance on “reputation.” Eight of the top 20 U.S. News universities are Ivy League schools which are, on average, more than 250 years old.

Brands evolve slowly in any industry. Just ask Arizona State University’s Michael Crow or other leaders of a cadre of innovative colleges and universities that tout dramatic accomplishments, but fail to crack the spaces dominated for centuries by big brands like Harvard, Yale and Princeton.

But the role of brands in higher education may be changing. Mega brands from outside education are beginning to transform the way students and employers think about learning.

Owners of global consumer brands sense two broad shifts in higher education that make it ripe for “brand extensions.” First, traditional education is under assault. Employers are increasingly skeptical of the correlation between a college performance and workplace outcomes. Depending on how you count, coding schools may be graduating as many computer scientists as traditional universities.

Peter Thiel offers $100,000 to brilliant minds willing to drop out of college. Major companies like Google and IBM are looking beyond the degree to find employees with the skills and competencies they demand — regardless of whether they went to college. The New York Times partnered with Cambridge Information Group, which operates Sotheby’s Master’s degree-granting Institute of Art, on art business, contemporary art and fine and decorative arts and design. And startup MasterClass has made a splash by teaming up with celebrities like Wolfgang Puck, Serena Williams and Malcolm Gladwell to teach classes in their respective fields.

Will it be Google or Penn State that sets the standards that determine who qualifies as a good computer programmer?

The definition of education credential, too, is changing. As the shelf life of skills shrinks, the degree is fast losing relevance as the primary unit of measurement for post-secondary education. Our nation’s colleges and universities are, increasingly, using digital credentials to help their graduates show-what-they-know and enable employers to make sense of skills or accomplishments. Even the U.S. Department of Education is supporting “experimental sites” that decouple financial aid from the credit hour in favor of a focus on the underlying competencies that employers value most.

The economics of higher education also makes sense to big brands. Consider the potential for old-line media companies faced with falling revenues as digital distribution models take market share and compete for advertising dollars. Media brands desperately seeking product extensions understand that education is a big market, with over $500 billion of higher education spend in the U.S. alone. No-name private colleges charge $50,000 in tuition and fees. Name-brand colleges create massive profits, and emerging brands like General Assembly command premium fees to train students for the hybrid jobs of the future. Contrast the lifetime value of credential seekers with average revenues per customer selling ads and magazine subscriptions.

But the opportunity for brands is not just economic. Media companies bring other assets to the table, including more curated, and often times high-quality, content than virtually any university. Imagine working with Thomas Friedman, New York Times columnist and author of The World Is Flat, to create a course on the Middle East — or a product manager of Samsung on mobile computing.

This is not an either-or for universities. Parsons partnered with Teen Vogue Magazine to launch Certificate in Fashion Industry Essentials. Bellevue University teamed up with Chipotle to build a restaurant-oriented business degree program that maps to the Chipotle career path. And Queen Latifah — perhaps one of the best lessons in branding — is building with Strayer University an online course for aspiring entrepreneurs covering confidence and perseverance. Smart global brands and universities with stellar reputations will partner with each other to build up their respective competencies. Great universities will bring tradition and academic excellence — while the global brand has connections to employers and incredible content.

The formula is simple: Well-structured, branded programs will be superior to an unbranded degree. They will give elite institutions a run for their money. It’s only a matter of time before the U.S. News & World Report rankings are riddled with global brands.
