Breweries like Dogfish Head and Borg Brugghús independently developed beers that they both call Kvasir. Dogfish Head’s Kvasir is based on chemical compounds found in a 3,500-year-old Danish drinking jug that was unearthed from a priestess’ tomb. The recipe puts a new twist on an ancient ale and calls for wheat, cranberries, honey, and birch syrup, to name a few ingredients.

The name Kvasir derives from Norse mythology. As the wisest man in the world, it was only fitting that Kvasir was a traveling poet who shared his wisdom with others. His encounter with the dwarfs Fjalar and Galar, however, spelled doom for the journeyman. Kvasir was killed, and his blood was subsequently drained and mixed with honey to create the Mead of Poetry. Legend has it that for those lucky enough to take a sip of this mixture, the gift of poetry and wisdom would be bestowed.

This is a variation of the I heart NY logo that was created in 1977 by Milton Glaser for an ad campaign created by advertising agency Wells Rich Greene. The marketing campaign was sought by then-Deputy Commissioner William S. Doyle to increase tourism in the state of New York. The campaign was a wild success. The original sketch of the logo is permanently on display at the MOMA. The logo has become iconic in pop-culture and has been imitated in many forms around the world.

Photograph of an archbishop blessing a shrine of the Virgin Mary before a brick wall. 

Gustavo García-Siller was named Archbishop of San Antonio, Texas, by Pope Benedict XVI on October 14, 2010. He is pictured here at a ceremony for the Blessing of the Shrine of Our Lady Patroness of the Church on Sep 26th, 2010. The Blessed Mother, under the title “Immaculate Conception,” was chosen in 1846 unanimously by the American bishops, to be the Patroness of the United States of America. The bishops re-established their teaching that: “The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin.”

Many high schools, primary schools, and universities in the United States have extracurricular student councils modeled after democratic governments where students will campaign for office positions such as president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. The student body will vote on the candidates, and the elected officers of each year will complete specified or unspecified duties, such as planning school events, organizing fundraisers, and reforming school rules.

This student, Alfonso, has created a campaign memorabilia to run for an unknown position, overlaying his face over an image of the American flag and Iron Man, likely a favorite Marvel Comics superhero of his.

Psychic Drive is an alternative rock band from New York. Throughout the mid-2000s, Psychic Drive played several live shows in New York City and released at least one studio-recorded song titled, “Shooting Gallery.” The band’s official website has been replaced by an arcade business and no band pages have been updated since the late-2000s, leaving one to assume that Psychic Drive dissolved some time ago.
