I, Pariah is a deadly band that could easily be compared with on a similar level to contemporaries in the field. Whitechapel and Thy Art Is Murder certainly come to mind among otheres. They know how to bring heavy presentation and a good time simultaneously. There is certainly potential behind this five-piece on the rise from Phoenix, Arizona.
The new single was launched in support of the band's upcoming EP release which will hit tomorrow! It will be known as "Hate Prayer". Pre-orders are currently available to those who CLICK HERE.

Former UCF star Mike Hughes has big day in Vikings debut

UCF fans won't soon forget the impact Mike Hughes had during his sole season with the Knights.
His 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against USF saved the Knights' perfect 2017 season.
But Hughes has moved onto a bigger stage and he's already making an impact.
After UCF's 38-0 victory over South Carolina State on Saturday night, quarterback McKenzie Milton walked into the postgame interview room wearing Hughes' No. 21 Minnesota Vikings jersey. He said he had been trying to get Hughes on his fantasy team, but teammate Gabe Davis would not trade him.
On Sunday, Davis was certainly happy.
Hughes, a first-round draft pick by the Vikings, drew the starting nod at nickel back for the season opener and then found himself gaining even more playing time at corner due to an injury to Trae Waynes.
Hughes benefited from the retirement of veteran Terrence Newman during camp and an injury to Mackensie Alexander.
The former Knight made any fans who questioned his draft selection rethink their criticism. Hughes had a team-high three pass break ups and also intercepted San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, returning the pick 28 yards for a touchdown.
"That's why we drafted him," Vikings coach Mike Zimmer told the St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press. "Everybody was complaining about taking a corner. I'm glad we had him today. "
Hughes told the Pioneer Press he barely remembered the play because he was so overwhelmed with excitement.
"I kind of blacked out," Hughes said. "It was just amazing. All my teammates were around me, and I was celebrating and getting the crowd hyped. It was a great feeling, man."

Hughes also broke up what potentially could have been a Garoppolo touchdown pass.
"I thought I had another pick," he said. "I kind of tripped on the turf and made a play to break it up."

Sure, Hughes said he made a few mistakes in his debut, but it was a good day overall and the Vikings won 24-16.
"It's surreal," Hughes said. "Just doing that makes me want to go out there and do more. We're going to get back to work, and hopefully I can get another one next week."
Hughes wasn't the only former UCF standout making plays Sunday. Seattle had three former Knights in the starting lineup, including one-handed linebacker Shaquem Griffin, his twin brother, cornerback Shaquill Griffin, and veteran receiver Brandon Marshall.
Marshall caught a touchdown pass and had three catches for 46 yards, Shaquill Griffin had six tackles and Shaquem Griffin had two.
Other former UCF players performances from Sunday:
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles was 18 of 33 for 176 yards, a touchdown and an interception in a 20-15 win over the Giants.
Jaguars CB A.J. Bouye had four tackles in victory over Giants.
Houston Texans rookie TE Jordan Akins had two catches for 11 yards in a 27-20 loss to the Patriots.
Minnesota Vikings RB Latavius Murray had 42 yards on 11 carries in a win over the 49ers.
Atlanta Falcons DB Kemal Ishmael had a pair of tackles in an 18-12 loss to the Eagles.
Green Bay Packers OG Justin McCray played a big role in victory over the Bears.

Friday Buzzkills: No you can't
Sean O'Neal
Filed to: NewswireFiled to: Newswire
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all shitty things are not only possible but probable; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time and suspects in their heart of hearts that it's been co-opted and diluted by so many differing ideologies that it's been twisted beyond all recognition; who still questions the power of our democracy to distract you with empty rhetoric and petty bickering and tacky celebrity scandals and mindless entertainment while keeping the most important issues of our time safely out of your realm of influence, here is your answer. And to those A.V. Club readers whose support I have squandered time and again, I realize I may not have won the Internets with my recent, abbreviated posts. But I have heard your comments. I know you need my help. And these will be your Buzzkills too.
- Of course, Obama's victory wasn't just a mandate for change, a referendum on Bush, or a much-needed win for elitist idealism over pandering fear, it was also obviously a big night for African-Americans, and if you're black and even marginally famous, your phone has been ringing off the hook since around 11:01 p.m. Tuesday with patronizing reporters wanting to know if "you ever thought you'd live to see this day." Everybody from Usher to Ne-Yo to Diddy and Beyonce to Oprah dutifully got their pull-quotes in (What, nobody called The Wayans Brothers? There's like eight of those dudes) and effectively ended racism forever and ever, but what about the people who weren't fortunate enough to be blessed with historic skin? Thankfully that didn't stop Paris Hilton from offering her opinion–we're guessing that prompts to characterize the election as "hot" were met with a frosty, lazy-eyed stare–or Paul McCartney, Bono, Katy Perry, and 30 Seconds To Mars' Jared Leto (two of these things are not like the others) to fish for applause while paying their own smug lip service across the pond. But hey, at least Bono somehow restrained himself for taking full credit for Obama's presidency–unlike David Geffen, who is clearly convinced that the sun shines out of his fundraising-dinner-throwing asshole, at least according to this interview:
Having soured on the Clintons after raising huge sums of money for Bill and sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom—twice—Geffen found himself enamored of Obama from the first time he saw him on TV, giving a speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. "I thought he was a remarkable guy," Geffen told me today. "After I heard him give that speech, I called him up and said, 'You're going to run for president and I'm going to support you.' " Geffen says Obama laughed and said he was very flattered, but that he wasn't running.
Cut to two years later. "He called me one day and said with a laugh, ' David, I guess you're right. I am running for president and I'd like your support.' And of course, I said, 'You have it.' "
And the trip down Unqualified Pundit Lane continues! Hell, somebody even thought it would be a good idea to wake Chevy Chase up from his 15-year career nap to get his trenchant thoughts on SNL's political coverage, giving him the opportunity to wax nostalgic on the last time anyone cared about Chevy Chase. But of course, for the fluffiest spin on the Obama story, you have to hand it to People, who actually assigned some poor reporter to call up Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan and ask him about the Obamas' promised new puppy! Guess what they found out? Apparently "dogs don't care if you're the president," but the "calm, assertive energy" Obama exhibits in his speeches should help him not only with house-training the new dog "but with world leaders as well." And they say journalism is in crisis.
But when it comes to using Obama as a platform for completely irrelevant self-promotion, as always nobody does it quite like music publicists: Since Tuesday we've received no less than a dozen press releases in our in-box here at the Buzzkills office, the majority of which can most charitably be described as "having fuck all to do with"–if not "totally exploitative of"–Obama, but which nevertheless try to draw some parallel between his victory and some shitty musician's shitty album, as though this sea change in American history is just like getting a new Seal song. (For further reading, Idolator has a pretty good rundown of all those many, many concerts and CDs "for change" that have been popping up, most of which are actually "for dollars.") On second thought, can we go back to when everybody was more blatant about their cynicism?
- Anyway, enough about our newfound "hope": The irony of this "progressive" victory, of course, is that the all the first-time voters who came out in droves to issue a "mandate for change" and make a bold statement for minorities, well, it turns out they kinda sorta don't like the gays. Propositions banning gay marriage were approved everywhere they appeared on a ballot, effectively nullifying recent, heavily publicized weddings like those of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi and (even sadder) sweet old George Takei, prompting celebrities like Melissa Etheridge to proclaim that she's done paying her state taxes (a declaration that will probably resonate more once she issues it over a ringing open G chord). But the dirty not-so-secret of California's Proposition 8 (which, let's face it, is the one that affects our nation's most valuable gays) is that its campaign was funded to the tune of $22 million from out-of-state Mormons, who–in the face of protests like the massive one that descended on the Santa Monica Blvd. Mormon Temple Thursday–have issued calls for "civility, respect, and love" without a trace of irony or self-awareness. Anyway, there's no quip here, really… Just the sense of a great cosmic balance righting itself as we once again take one big step forward and three giant leaps back, with the bonus reminder that "separation of church and state" is still just a phrase we make little kids learn so that when they grow up they have a fundamental understanding of how hypocrisy works. U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
- Look, if we're going to go around sticking our nose in everybody's genital business, how about we start extending that to relationships that truly mock the sanctity of a union between man and woman? Say, for example, the kind of situation where an octogenarian porn magnate keeps a minimum of three women around as interchangeable "girlfriends," then plays off their fucked-up daddy issues to such an extreme that when one of them wants to leave the nest and marry another man, he's her first choice to "give her away" at the wedding–you know, like what Hugh Hefner is doing for former Girl Next Door Kendra Wilkinson in a private ceremony at the Playboy Mansion. (Perhaps he should add, "I even had her cleaned for ya"?) Or, and this is just wild speculation of course, perhaps we could work together to foster a society where sexual orientation isn't so tied up in repression and shame that it causes people to act out in harmful, pathological ways, like the teenage kid who used to force a four-year-old Tom Arnold to play sex games with him in exchange for candy bars? I mean, now that we've officially totally cured racism, do you think we could start working on that a little? No? You'd rather just shut your eyes and plug your ears and pretend like your "gays are yucky!" Puritanical ideals will eventually be embraced by everyone if you just keep propagating bigoted legislation and preaching to them about the fiery pits of Hell? Alrighty then….
- Anyway, so yeah, that shit's crazy–though [AWKWARD SEGUE!] not half as crazy as Salvador Dali was. But even Mr. Melty Clock has nothing on the Hollywood execs who are moving forward with the biopic on the surrealist painter to be directed by Simon West, a.k.a. the sensitive storyteller behind Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Josh Modell's favoritest movie, Con Air. Of course, the fact that Action Jackson over there has been tapped to lend his car-crash cinematography style to the multifaceted tale of one of the most layered and fascinating figures in art history would probably be less foreboding had he not gone with this most lunkheaded of casting choices: Yes, Antonio Banderas is currently in negotiations to bring his musky aura and signature "breathe like I'm barely suppressing a boner" line delivery to the role of Dali–because, you know, there are only like three Latino actors in all of Hollywood, and John Leguizamo and Mario Lopez were busy.
- But at the very least, that film is bound to be an entertaining mess–which is more than you can say for the planned Americanized remake of Chan Wook-park's already legendary, brutally violent revenge film Oldboy, which has currently been placed in the hands of Steven Spielberg and Will Smith for maximum homogenization. Now instead of [SPOILER] the main character discovering he had incestuous relations with daughter and cutting off his own tongue in penance, it's revealed that none of that even matters because his daughter was an alien all along! Now that's a movie that everyone can get jiggy with!
- Hey, here's an interesting reversal of fortune: While this has clearly been a momentous time for African-Americans and politics, somehow it's been a terrible week for black music. First came poor Bernie Mac's marble turd of a headstone Soul Men. Then there was the report of Sly Stone's crazy comeback train barreling through Santa Rosa, an epically sad story that includes Stone firing his manager, leaving the stage in a middle of a song (after telling the crowd, "I gotta take a piss") and never coming back because he spent the rest of the set backstage demanding to be paid, THEN ditching his band at the venue, forcing them to chase him down and have an embarrassing late-night stand-off at a gas station (while "his young Japanese girlfriend cried hysterically" in the background) before he disappeared altogether. On top of that, you have the death of former Motown president Jheryl Busby, the man who fostered the careers of Johnny Gill and Boyz II Men, at the age of 59, and the death at age 64 of Nathaniel Mayer, the Detroit R&B; singer (most famous for the hit "Village Of Love") and who had just started to make a comeback in recent years by recording new music with bands like The Black Key and The Dirtbombs.
- Still, no death this week was as shocking as that of Shakir Stewart, who took over as the head of Def Jam from Jay-Z in June. Stewart was responsible for signing artists like Rick Ross and Young Jeezy to the label, and had barely spent five months in his position before he shot himself last weekend in his Atlanta home. Stewart was 34.
- And we guess this sorta qualifies as part of our "blacks in music" theme, although Mothers Of Invention drummer Jimmy Carl Black famously called himself "the Indian of the group" when he ad-libbed over the Frank Zappa-led band's third album We're Only In It For The Money. Black provided the complex rhythms (and occasional vocals) for the Mothers until the group disbanded in 1969, then later went on to play with Captain Beefheart before more or less retiring from music to run a house-painting business. He died this week at the age of 70.
- At the height of her fame in the '50s and '60s, "Peruvian songbird" Yma Sumac was an international icon who filled venues like the Hollywood Bowl and Carnegie Hall, enchanting critics and fans alike with her superhuman voice which, according to her at least, could stretch to five octaves. Her shows were a thrilling mix of traditional South American folk songs (Sumac also claimed to be descended from Incan royalty) and Hollywood spectacle, combining elaborate costumes and huge companies of dancers and backing musicians. Her popularity began to wane in the rock 'n' roll '60s (and her 1971 psychedelic rock album Miracles was more or less buried) and Sumac "retired to Peru"–although The Times points out that this was merely part of her commitment to maintaining an aura of mystery, and that indeed Sumac remained in Silver Lake, California until her death this week at the age of 86.
Have a super weekend!

1. What is Pay Commission?
Every pay commission, in order to make its recommendations, analyzes various aspects including the economic condition of the country, financial resources of the government, likely impact on finances of state Governments, comparison with the public sector, private sector and state government pay structure, best global practices and their adaptability and relevance to Indian conditions etc.
Pay Commission is headquartered in Delhi. Pay Commission is provided with 18 months of time to submit its recommendation via report from the date of its constitution. Pay Commission may consider sending interim reports on any of the matters as and when recommendations are finalised. Government of India may either accept of reject recommendations made by Pay Commission. State Government's usually adopt the recommendations with certain modifications. Pay Commission is headed by a Chairman and comprises of members who are senior officials from various fields.
Till date since India's Independence, seven pay commissions (7th being the latest one) have been set up to review and recommend changes to emolument structures of civil and defence personnel of Government. Pay Commissions are generally set up every 10 years.
However, Government modified few recommendations post taking into consideration the employee's views and minimum wage was raised from Rs 185 per month to Rs 196 per month.
To remove stagnation, running pay bands were introduced.
Seventh Pay Commission was set up by The Manmohan Singh led UPA Government on 28 February 2014 under the chairmanship of Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur. Other members of 7th pay commission are Shri Vivek Rane (IAS), Dr Rathin Roy (economist, Director NIPFP) and Smt Meena Agarwal (administrative expert) as Secretary. 7th Pay Commission submitted its report on 19 November 2015 and the recommendations were to take effect from 1 January 2016.
c) Study by IIM, Kolkata on fiscal implications of implementation of the V and VI CPC on the finances of the Union and State Governments.
As per the panel report, the new pay structure has been laid out by and large broadly as an open ended, layered matrix, for civilians as well as for the armed forces personnel. It has been kept in view that a person should not stagnate but should have fair opportunity to progress by dint of merit and secure better emoluments so that frustration does not set in.
Minimum pay: Minimum pay at entry level is increased from Rs 7,000 to Rs 18,000 per month. For a newly recruited Class I Officer, the minimum salary is now Rs 56,100 per month.
New Structure: Present system of pay bands and grade pay has been dispensed with and a new pay matrix has been designed. Grade Pay has been subsumed in the pay matrix. The status of the employee, hitherto determined by grade pay, will now be determined by the level in the pay matrix.
Fitment factor: A fitment factor of 2.57 is being proposed to be applied uniformly for all employees.
New Pension System (NPS): Pursuant to receiving many grievances relating to NPS, recommended a number of steps to improve the functioning of NPS and also establishment of a strong grievance redressal mechanism.
Pay based on performance: Introduction of the Performance Related Pay (PRP) which will subsume the existing bonus scheme for all categories of Central Government employees, based on quality Results Framework Documents, reformed Annual Performance Appraisal Reports and some other broad Guidelines was recommended.
Government implemented the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission including those affecting the armed forces with minor modifications on 5 September 2016. For eg: Increase in the contribution to CGEGIS was not accepted, however, cabinet has asked the ministry to work out a customized group insurance scheme for Central Government Employees with low premium and high risk cover. Government increased dearness allowance of Central Government by 2% on 7 March 2018 in accordance with the accepted formula based on the recommendation of 7th Pay Commission.
There has been expectations that the Government will hike the salary and fitment factor beyond 7th Pay Commission's recommendation. Employees are demanding hike in fitment factor to 3 times as against recommended 2.57 times which will increase the minimum basic pay to Rs 21,000 from recommended Rs 18,000.

Otero County joins lawsuit against NM Taxation and Revenue Department
ALAMOGORDO – Otero County has joined a lawsuit against the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department (TRD) alleging that the Department is withholding tax revenue and preventing jurisdictions from collecting funds generated by gross receipts taxes.
The lawsuit requests that TRD compensate plaintiffs for potential lost revenue and to make the gross receipts revenue distribution process more transparent.
Otero County Commissioner voted to join the lawsuit at their Nov. 8 regular meeting. The lawsuit was filed in Bernalillo County by Santa Fe attorney Dalva Moellenberg Nov. 5.
The New Mexico Municipal League estimates that between $10 million and $12 million has not been distributed to the jurisdictions by TRD based on the Department's calculations of how much each jurisdiction is owed.
More:Otero County mulls commission expansion to 5 members
Otero County joined the lawsuit along with Albuquerque, Moriarty, Artesia and Farmington. Other jurisdictions are invited to join as plaintiffs in the suit, Moellenberg said.
Otero County Commissioner Lori Bies said if TRD is withholding gross receipt funds from Otero County, quality of life for county residents may suffer as a result.
"If somebody's not giving us the tax money, we don't have that extra money to be able to provide the nice things people would like for us to do. It really kills our budget," Bies said.
Otero County joined the lawsuit because it might not have been able to try to recoup the funds they may be missing, Bies said.
"Otero County tends to get forgotten down here in Southern New Mexico," she said. "We're not a big metropolitan area like Albuquerque and Las Cruces."
Moellenberg said TRD is responsible for collecting taxes levied under the state Tax Administration Act and by local charter on behalf of those jurisdictions, and then distributing each city and county's share back to the respective municipalities.
He said When TRD makes those distributions, it can reduce the amount of a particular distribution to reflect various kinds of adjustments based on revenue or human error.
Moellenberg said when that happens, the cities and towns have a difficult time finding out why.
He said there are statutory limitations on why those funds can be reduced, but the state does not have to provide any information as to why those reductions are made.
More:Alamogordo District Judges file lawsuit against Otero County Board of Commissioners
"The City or town really doesn't have the information they need to determine if TRD is complying with those statutory limitations," Moellenberg said. "We have reason to believe TRD has not complied with those limitations over a lengthy period of time, and as a result did not distribute all of the tax revenue to the cities and counties that they were entitled to."
He said the state has not yet responded to the lawsuit and it is too early to determine what the next step in the process will be.
Bies said it's too early to tell what kind of benefits the county may receive, as the lawsuit was just filed and jurisdictions will be signing on as plaintiffs.
She said even if it costs the county money to join the lawsuit, any funds that are returned would be a net gain for the county.
"Any time our attorney brings us anything that's a lawsuit that says hey, we were shorted money and we can get some money if we join on, everybody (at the County) is like, yes," Bies said. "It's money we didn't have before, so even after (the attorneys) take their cut, we're still coming out ahead."

Are the SAT Subject Tests Changing?
You probably know by now that a new, redesigned SAT rolled out in early March--a huge revamp that has been linked to the Common Core and attempts to re-secure market share lost to the ACT. This may leave you wondering: what about SAT Subject Tests? Are they changing? Will there be new SAT Subject Tests modeled after the main SAT redesign?
In a word, no. At least, not now.
So what does this mean? Well, for starters, it means that SAT Subject Tests will now be even more different from the regular SAT than they were before the SAT redesign.
In this article, I'll go over the implications of the "mismatch" between the redesigned SAT and the SAT Subject Tests. How are the formats different, and how should you approach these differences? I'll also go over how the SAT redesign has changed how Subject Test content overlaps (or doesn't) with the regular SAT. Finally, I will engage in some wild speculation (okay, fine, evidence-based speculation) about where the SAT Subject Tests may be going in the future.
While you are studying diligently for all of your SAT Subject tests, you probably aren't thinking too hard about how and when you are going to send out all those scores to your dream schools. I get it—taking the test is the hard part, and you want to focus your energy on that.
To help you out, I'll lay out everything you need to consider in terms of score-sending logistics and strategy: how to send SAT Subject test scores (with or without Score Choice), sending the four free reports you get with registration, special ordering circumstances, and how to cancel scores. It's all in here!
SAT Subject Test Math 1 vs Math 2: Which Should I Take?
If you're considering taking SAT Subject Tests and math is a strong subject for you, you'll need to decide which SAT Subject Test in math to take. There are two Math SAT Subject Tests: Math 1 and Math 2 (also written as Math Level 1 and Math Level 2, or Math I and Math II).
Math 2 is meant for students with more high school math coursework and covers a broader range of topics than Math 1 does. Other than that, the two tests are pretty similar: both have 50 multiple-choice questions and a 60-minute time limit.
In this article, I'll go over what's covered in Math 1, what's covered in Math 2, their similarities and differences, whether Math 1 is easier than Math 2, and how to choose which Subject Test to take.
When Should You Start Studying for Your AP Exams?
So you're taking a couple AP classes, they're going well, and you feel pretty good about most of the material. The exam in May seems a long way off. Do you need to start studying? The answer is, that depends! Every student and every exam is different.
However, my general advice is to start studying no later than the midpoint of the school year. (That would be after winter break for most of you.) Why the midpoint of the year? Keep reading to find out!
The dreaded DBQ, or "document-based question," is an essay question type on the AP History exams (AP US History, AP European History, and AP World History). For the DBQ essay, you will be asked to analyze some historical issue or trend with the aid of the provided sources, or "documents," as evidence.
The DBQ is an unfamiliar type of in-class essay for many students, but it does not need to be a source of dread or panic. In this guide I'll go over the DBQ's purpose and format, what the documents are and how to use them, how this type of essay is scored, and how to prepare. I'll tell you everything you need to rock this unique type of essay!
What Is AP Self-Study? Should You Do It?
Did you know that you don't have to take an AP course to take the associated exam? Some people think this means all they need is a prep book, the registration fee, a pencil, and a dream. Are they right?
In this article I will go over all the essentials of self-studying for AP exams: what it means, why people self-study, whether or not you should self-study, and five important tips for any self-studier.
You probably imagine the AP exam program as one of the mysterious primordial forces of the galaxy, along with gravity and taxes. But, in actuality, the AP program is only about 60 years old. From its unabashedly elitist beginnings to its present attempts to democratize advanced high school coursework, read on to discover a brief history of AP classes and exams, some current AP controversies, and some thoughts on the program's future.
As you begin to prepare for your AP exams, you'll need to consider which kinds of study tools will help you make the most of your prep time and help you meet your target score.
One of the most important study tools in your arsenal is the AP practice test. This is true no matter which AP exam you're taking. In this article, I'll go over why you should use AP practice tests, what roles they can serve in your studying process, and how to find the best AP practice exams for any AP.
Does the thought of spending an hour answering multiple-choice questions on complex prose and poetry passages strike fear into your heart? The challenge of the AP Literature multiple-choice is enough to give even the most adept reader hives, but don't stress! This guide will serve as your complete roadmap to success on the AP English Literature and Composition multiple-choice section.
The AP European History course and exam cover the history of Europe from 1450 to the present. That means you'll be asked about everything from the Renaissance to the European Union — it's a lot! Not to mention, the exam was just revised in 2016, making everything a bit more complicated.
If you need guidance for the AP exam, read on. In this article, I'll give an overview of the exam, go in-depth on each of its sections, go over how the exam is scored, offer some preparation tips, and finally explain some key things to keep in mind on test day!
With the 2016 AP English Language and Composition exam approaching on Wednesday, May 11, it's time to make sure that you're familiar with all aspects of the exam.

The answer is yes, there are! This guide will give you an overview of colleges that don't require admissions essays, how to find these schools, and whether you should apply to one or not. We'll wrap up with a list of 64 colleges with no essay requirement that you can apply to.
If you're planning to take the AP English Literature and Composition exam, you'll need to get familiar with what to expect from the test. Whether the 2019 test date of Wednesday, May 8 is near or far, I'm here to help you get serious about preparing for the exam. In this guide I'll go over the test's format and question types, how it's graded, best practices for preparation, and test day tips. You'll be on your way to AP English Lit success in no time!
Graphic designers are involved in nearly everything we look at, watch, or read, from the designs on books, to the way websites navigate, to halftime commercials, to logos on business cards. Graphic designers are the visual wizards who make sure every concert poster and app user interface has an impact and communicates a desired message.
If this sounds appealing to you, you might wonder how you can become a graphic designer. Well, you go to school! In this article, I'll discuss what a graphic design program is, how I created this list, the best graphic design schools, and how to choose the right program for you.


The money has been counted and the Mexico Food Pantry's recent fundraiser was one of the most successful in recent memory.
The pantry partnered with The Bake Shop Eatery, in Mexico, at the end of November for a unique fundraising effort. For an entire day, 15 percent of all the money spent on food was donated to the pantry. That works out to nearly $250.
We would like to thank the dozens of people in the community who stopped by for some food and helped support the pantry. Without your help, we could not continue to operate.

Design Mela is an Indian Design Awareness Project, open source in nature.
We call out to interested agencies of Design/communication, academic institutions, funding bodies, Design houses and consultancies OR any design enthusiast organization for partnerships.
We look forward to your mail and discuss intersecting areas of collaboration or funding.
I handle the franchisee for AFD at Andhra Pradesh. AFD is a design coaching institute that coaches students for the entrance exams of NIFT, NID and CEED. Though not a designer myself, I am attracted to the world of design and really in awe of it. I also feel strongly that there needs to be a great awareness to the world of design, its career prospects and how it could change the life of anybody associated with it. When I came across your post on Facebook and then visited your website, I was very impressed and definitely very interested in partnering. It was as if someone had spoken out what I had intended to express. Your intentions seem great and I would love to be associated with it. Kindly let me know if I could partner you in any way.
its great that you wish to contribute to this project. Siting in hyderabad it will be great if you could share some local designs with us , pertaining to the themes in design mela. We shall give appropriate credits .
Do connect at designmelaproject@gmail.com or butool@thinkingthreads.co.in .

Thank you for continuing to be a subscriber to the Management and the Arts blog postings. The main goal of this blog is to provide topic updates on many of the ideas and concepts covered in the book. If you are teaching a course in arts management, I hope these posts will assist you with additional discussion items to use in class. If you are a student, I hope your horizons will be extended. And if you are a practitioner, I trust you will find a few ideas you can borrow and implement. Other resources on the website include a syllabus template in the "Learning Resources" area, and there are a few case studies you should feel free to use in the "Look Inside 5e" section.
The Cleveland Museum of Art recently announced its new diversity, equity, and inclusion plan. The twenty-page document lists 16 "we will" statements on pages 18 and 19 that could be adapted by different types of arts and culture organizations creating their own DEI plan. The "Strategic Road Map" on pages 14 to 16, while still at a rather elevated level, nonetheless provides a good example of practical steps that the museum plans to take to realize its strategies. I included a link to the DEI plan along with information on how to access the museum's well-crafted strategic plan. There are good examples of strategy statements and objectives in this other document starting on PDF page 14. However, the objectives fall short when it comes to specifics (see Chapter 5 in Mgt & the Arts – "Planning and the Arts" on pages 164-165 for writing objectives).
We read of business mergers frequently that are driven by a desire of companies to diversify, grow, or lessen competition. The merger of SMU's Arts Research Center in Dallas and DataArts in Philadelphia looks like it will provide a research synergy boost that will result in enhancing the knowledge base available to the arts and culture community in the U.S. The merger will likely allow for research and data analysis projects that will also be of benefit to arts decision-makers. I also provided a link to some case studies on the DataArts website which may be of value to faculty and students.
The article from the Clyde Fitch Report offers some good insights about the dilemma arts organizations face when it comes to revenue generating programming and keeping a creative edge. Judith Bowtell from Australia shares her observations about the arts ecology in her country and outlines items that she feels contribute to arts organizations being innovative. Ideas for helping arts organization get out of a safe programming rut could make for an interesting class discussion. The article also makes mention of a 2017 move entitled The Square, which sounds interesting. I have not seen it but based on the review and viewing the trailer it looks intriguing and reasonably funny.
Helen Forbes Fields, a trustee at the Cleveland Museum of Art, said that she recently saw a guard turn away a young black man when he pushed open the North Lobby doors as the museum was about to close.
Forbes Fields, who is black, said she feared that the abrupt tone in the guard's voice might have made the visitor feel unwanted. So she told the young man he would be welcome to come back the next day at 10 a.m.
When it started six years ago, SMU's National Center for Arts Research already had the largest arts database in America; it would eventually draw on such sources as the NEA, the League of American Orchestras and the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies to analyze how cultural institutions work, how they benefit communities, how they can work better. Now NCAR is merging with the Philadelphia-based research center DataArts. The new center, called SMU DataArts, has the potential to be a global leader in cultural research.
Since 2012, NCAR has made headlines with studies on such issues as the gender gap among art museum directors or whether grants by the National Endowment for the Arts benefit only the wealthy. It's also delved into what significance arts leadership has with the success or failure of cultural institutions. It's provided online diagnostic tools like the Arts Vibrancy Index – which measures communities across the U.S. based on a dozen factors such as the number of arts groups per capita and a city's public support for its cultural offerings.

Then a musical comedy or other comparable crowd-pleeezer-with-three-e's that can be extended as the last play of the season in May or June.

How you can help us!
Boing! Softplay Family Centre is a community softplay centre designed to support, and to be used exclusively by, families with children aged 0-5 years.
Following its set up in 2011, Boing! was managed by Stoke Park Children's Centre until September 2017 when operations were handed over to Boing Bristol Community Interest Company (CIC). Since September 2018, when Boing Bristol CIC bought Boing! outright, it has been developed as a not-for-profit social enterprise with income generated (from entrance, the cafe and parties in particular) financially sustaining the work we do to support families of 0-5s in the local area and further afield.
Boing Bristol CIC is currently run by three Directors: David Jones, Richard Reddrop and Jess Higgins. Richard and Jess are also paid members of staff.

Currently CEO of Changing Tunes, a music relational charity based in 15 prisons across the south west, Dave is an experienced, organisational, strategic thinking leader committed to social change by working through partnerships and also to financial sustainability.
He has worked for 18 years in the voluntary sector, during which time he has created 3 charities from scratch...and a Community Interest Company. Most recently he was Director at Brentry & Henbury Children's Centre, taking them from a position of being heavily reliant on Local Authority funding to a place where it trades 85% of its income. He still finds time to do a bit of charity auctioneering for them!
Dave has 4 daughters - at one time 3 of them were under 5 years of age – so he has some idea of supporting families of young children! In his spare time (!) he plays the kazoo and leads a Woodlands Group of Churches church plant in Henbury (though not at the same time).
Jess Higgins
I'm a former Primary School teacher and now manager of Boing! as well as being a Director of the company. I love living in the diverse, lively city of Bristol and being part of a thriving community. I also love to retreat to Cornwall for my holidays so I can take long dog walks along the coastal paths and bodyboard with my family. I am half Swedish and have lived in Norway for 9 years so I also love skiing and IKEA!
I like Boing! because it is a safe hub for people to gather and build community. I love to see the children entertained and the parents relaxing, whichever way they want. This may be a quiet coffee whilst reading the news, meeting people to talk to, or playing with their children. Every child and every adult is an individual who we want to support in the best way for them. My favourite part of the week is running the craft group, where I get a chance to sit with children and their parents/carers to create and chat. I also love running Tiddlers with Sarah. Interacting with the children through a craft, story or song is a highlight of my week.
Richard Reddrop
I was inspired to set up Boing! in Lockleaze when Head of Stoke Park Children's Centre, mainly due to the church-run place I visited when I went part-time to look after my young daughter (now a teenager!). It was a very simple place with some basic equipment and a lovely cafe but what made it special were the volunteer staff who really engaged with customers and made us feel welcome. I used all my experiences in the voluntary sector (working for homeless charity, Emmaus Bristol), public sector (leading the community services work at the local primary school and, of course, heading up the children's centre) as well private sector (a long, very enjoyable stint in financial services) to work together with others to establish Boing! Softplay Family Centre in answer to local need.
I have also been CEO for prison charity, Changing Tunes (albeit on an interim basis), and local charity Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust (for which I chaired the Board of Trustees between 2011 and 2016). In my spare time I enjoy a little running, travelling and spending time with my family.

Jess Higgins - Boing! Lockleaze Manager
Hayley Cremen - Boing! Lockleaze Party Manager
I started at Boing! as a Party Manager and now also work in the Community Cafe each week. I have two children of my own; Grace who is 4 and Jasmine aged 1. Grace thinks I have the best job in the world being able to play on the soft play all day!
Previously I've worked as a Teacher and also have experience in hospitality. In my own time I can mostly be found going on day trips with my family or meeting up with friends.
What I love about Boing! is meeting families and getting to know them and also seeing large groups of families and friends come together to celebrate special events like birthday parties.
Carly Jenkins - Boing! Lockleaze Party Manager
I am Carly and I have been working for Boing! as a party manager since June 2019. I have previously worked in children's social care roles and my last job was working with disabled children.
Working for Boing! was a big change for me but I have loved Boing! as a customer since my first child was born in 2012. I live in Lockleaze and love the community spirit here; for me Boing! has always been a big part of that.
My hobbies and interests have dwindled somewhat over the years (I have 3 small and fairly demanding children to contend with!) but I do enjoy talking to people about cloth nappies (I appreciate it is a stretch to consider nappies a hobby!) I am trying to turn the gym into a hobby at the moment, it is a work in progress!

Way back December 2007, Yogi was asked by the GEO photo editors to do a photographic snake expedition with scientist Dr. Guido Westhoff. The assignment required them to go to the Queensland outback for land snakes and Weipa for sea snakes. This expedition marked our first big collaboration with GEO Magazine and I was so happy for Yogi. It finally happened. For those who are not familiar, GEO is Germany's most prestigious science, nature and geographical magazine, which also come out in 16 other countries worldwide. Simply put – it is an fantastic publication! See Yogi's GEO Portfolio here.
Now I was (pre-expedition) petrified of snakes. The mere mention of the S-word was enough to turn my knees into jelly and make my stomach turn. But it was either stay home alone for a month or bite the bullet and go with the team to look for snakes and photograph them. EEEEEEK! So, not wishing to be left behind, I joined the team comprised of the GEO writer Hania Luczak, Guido Westhoff and his wife, Katja. It was awesome.


It can be done but is it worthwhile? Complete Ln106 and other useable model bodys aren't all that dear to purchase whole these days and it aint alot more work in swapping the whole body compared with welding in a new roof.

The links boof has listed at the begining arnt linking ?
Recently had a bit of time up my sleeve so decided to use the various junk I had in the shed and make up a glycol/air intercooler setup for the 4runner. Thought Id post it up to show how easy it is.
- 19mm hose, I used HD garden hose as heater hose is pricey.
- 12" thermofan and control device.
- KnN airpod and universal intercooler piping kit.
I sacrificed my second battery and made up some brackets to mount the intercooler there, I plumbed the hotside using 50mm alloy bends and used 2 45 degrees elbows to complete the 75mm cold side.
The 2 water lines run down along the chassis rail and are cable tied in a fashion that allows any air to flow up. The pump bracket is mounted on the fuel tank crossmember and I mounted the heat exchanger forward of the spare tyre crossmember. The thermofan and pump relays are mounted in the rear side pocket of the cabin.

I ended up using sum 75mm duct from the airpod to the snorkel, I also redid the crossover pipe to sit flat on the tappet cover. The airpod just skims the bonnet but I have glued a sheet of rubber to the bonnet to insulate.
You will need to insulate any parts from rubbing or from heat. I made sure that the hoses were a decent distance from the exhaust. The hose connections on the intercooler will need to be cut an reflared.
The best part about this install is that it is very flexible and can be adjusted to suit each vehicle and installer, I would have loved to fit the heat exchanger to the front but there is simply no room there with the AC gear. My intake temp has on average dropped by 50% and the thermo kicks in at 40c to keep it cool when rock crawling.
i dunno if it might be a prob on my end, but none of these links have worked so far!! and im needin to be researchin installin diff centres!!!
after long enough, people will soon start to see, that our planet will tremble at the sound of the 75 series land cruiser, of all different shapes and sizes.
Why dont the links work anymore?
What happened to all of raytriplej's posts?
