How to Cover Dining Room Seats
Upholstered seats on dining room chairs show their age with worn fabric and tears or an outdated pattern. Recover your dining room seats with carefully selected fabrics from your local fabric or store, by starting with several sample fabric swatches. Place the fabric samples on the dining room chairs to see how they coordinate with the dining set and surrounding decor. If reupholstering isn't something you want to tackle, you have other options to cover the seats in your dining room.
Reupholstering With New Fabric
Flip the seat over and unscrew the base from the frame. Pull out the staples holding the fabric in place with pliers and a flat-head screwdriver. Push the head of the screwdriver under the staple to lift it up. Pull the staple out with pliers. Leave the foam cushion in place.
Cut fabric lining to 1/2 inch wider and longer than the seat. Place the lining flat on a work surface. Place the seat cushion side facedown on the lining. Fold the edges of the lining over the seat and staple it in place on one side. Pull the fabric taut and staple it on the opposite side. Repeat this with the two remaining sides. Then move around the seat, starting at the corners, and secure the fabric with staples pulling it tight as you work. Trim excess lining away with scissors.
Place the seat cushion-side up on the work surface. Set the upholstery on top, pattern-side up, and situate it so that the pattern runs as you want it. Pin the fabric in place. Flip the seat over facedown. Cut the fabric 1/2 inch longer and wider than the seat cushion. Remove the pins without disturbing the fabric and staple the fabric in place pulling it as tight as possible as you work.
Reinstall the seat on the chair. Repeat this process with each additional seat.
Three Quick Fixes
Measure the height, width and depth of the chair and purchase a slipcover based on this. Place the cover over the entire chair and use small pins, fabric glue or decorative ties to pull the fabric tighter or position it on the chair in an appealing way. This covers the seat itself and updates the chair in just a few minutes.
Install painter's tape around the outside edge of the seat's cushion. Add fabric paint or latex paint mixed with fabric medium to a small dish and apply this all over the seat cushion. Let the paint dry and then go back in with a different color, adding a pattern with a stencil or painter's tape. This solution works best with upholstery still in good condition. It allows you to quickly cover the seat without taking it apart.
Install a new, loose cushion over a cushion-free seat to add comfort and color to the dining room. Tie the cushion in place or secure hook-and-loop fastener to the chair's seat and the underside of the cushion to hold it in place. The adhesive from the hook and loop fastener may damage the finish of the chair, so proceed with caution. This eliminates the need to construct a new, cushioned seat for the chair.

Four Positions Liverpool Need To Strengthen To Turn Themselves Into Title Contenders
Posted by Featured Articles | Published on 07/06/2017
The final day of the season was a typical representation of what Liverpool have become under Jürgen Klopp. Varied emotions were felt throughout the match as agony, suspense and relief were all felt by fans of the club over the course of the 90-minute match. It was a clear representation as to how far the club have fallen that securing a top four finish on the last day of the season was met with so much elation at the full-time whistle. But for fans of the Anfield outfit, who have had to go through the trials and tribulations of the 'Hodgson era', the win marked a monumental step in the right direction for the club. ü
The difference between winning and failing to overcome a stubborn Middlesbrough side were extreme. Win and fans can dream about top class players being attracted to Merseyside once more; fail to win and risk being left behind in the transfer market by their top four competitors once more. Thankfully for Liverpool fans, it was the former. With Champions League nights returning to Anfield – for one qualifying match at least – let's take a look at who the Merseyside club could be signing in what will be a defining summer for the whole club.
Central Defender
Let's be honest, it doesn't take me to tell you what a shambles the Liverpool defence is in comparison to other top clubs. Klopp has improved it to an extent, shown by the fact they've conceded eight fewer goals from 2015/16, and sometimes the criticism aimed at the defence by experienced pundits is unjustified. Joel Matip signing on a free added some well-needed resilience, but Dejan Lovren still often leaves Liverpool fans with hearts in their mouths thanks to his costly errors. Both, however, have been fairly injury prone this season, making a new CB high on Klopp's agenda for this summer.
On the subject of injuries, it's no secret that Liverpool's number one target this summer is Virgil Van Dijk. The Dutchman has been out since February and Southampton insist the player is still worth upwards of £50m. Nevertheless, that didn't deter the Anfield hierarchy and the Reds were embroiled in a tight battle for his signature along with Manchester City and Chelsea. Van Dijk has reportedly chosen Klopp over Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte with just the fee, which is expected to hit £60m, to be agreed.
However, recent allegations from the Saints could put any deal in jeopardy as they claim that the Merseyside club have been 'tapping up' the player with reports that Klopp met with Van Dijk without Southampton's permission and would only let their star man leave if he handed in a transfer request.
He would certainly be a welcome addition, the Dutchman has won more tackles & aerial duels combined (327) since joining the Premier League than any other centre-back. Klopp will be hoping that the south-coast club's resistance can be broken and that Van Dijk will be an LFC player by the time the season kicks off in August.
If the club fails in their pursuit of Van Dijk, then they may look abroad in the shape of Kalidou Koulibaly. The Senegalese-born centre-back is two years younger than Lovren and has had a considerable better season than the Croation. Courtesy of WhoScored, Koulibaly managed per game: 2 tackles, 2.3 interceptions, 4.1 clearances and 1 block.
In comparison, Lovren completed: 1.4 tackles, 1.6 interceptions, 6.3 clearances and 0.6 blocks. The only stat that Lovren trumps the Napoli man in is clearances suggesting that Lovren is a lot more rational on the ball; further backed up by the fact that Lovren has chosen to play the ball long 1.3 more times than Koulibaly per game.
Koulibaly stands at 195cm tall compared to Lovren's 188cm and with Liverpool's struggles to defend set pieces the former Genk man could be the answer to Klopp's problems. He is valued at £25.5m on TransferMarkt, but Napoli are only likely to entertain offers of above £40 million.
It says a huge amount about Alberto Moreno when you are the only recognised left-back in the squad and are ousted in place of a centre-midfielder. That is exactly what happened, however, as James Milner started 36 of Liverpool's 38 Premier League matches. Whilst the former England international started off well initially, his constant slowing down of play started to frustrate fans and calls for a signing in that area soared. Despite the lack of options, Alberto Moreno looks set to be axed from Jürgen Klopp's squad; with a return to Spain looking likely for the former Sevilla man.
One name that was linked early on was Ryan Sessegnon. The 17-year-old rose to prominence this season as he played a pivotal part in helping the Cottagers reach the Championship play-off semi-finals. The English wonderkid, who averaged a rating of 6.78 over 26 league appearances, can also operate on the left-hand side of midfield, making him a good utility option as well. Thanks to this he has been linked with the majority of England's top clubs with the Reds and Tottenham being the early favourites.
His blistering speed would have been a welcome addition to Liverpool's flanks, but it has recently been reported that Klopp has pulled out of the running and Pochettino's side are now favourites to complete the signature of one of English football's most exciting talents.
Other options that the Reds have been linked with come from abroad in the shape of Benjamin Mendy and Faouzi Ghoulam. Mendy arrived at Monaco from Marseille last summer for a small sum of £11 million and turned out be a key figure in helping Monaco to their first French league title since 2000. Therefore, it's no surprise that he is being courted by some of Europe's top clubs. The longevity of his contract means that it would take a sizable £40 million to his services; something which has seemingly discouraged Pep Guardiola from pursuing the Frenchman. This could open a door of opportunity for Liverpool, but with the expensive additions of Virgil Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and possibly Naby Keita it remains to be seen whether Klopp will see £40 million as a viable fee for a left-back.
Elsewhere, Di Marzio recently reported that the German coach has Ghoulam in his sights. Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has also been linked with the Napoli player and it now appears that he will have to fight a fellow Premier League rival for the 26-year-old's signature.
Central Midfielder
The Anfield outfit have an abundance of options in the middle of the park with the likes of Adam Lallana, Emre Can, Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson being the players usually guarded with responsibility by Klopp. Despite this variety of options at the boss' disposal, these players often come unstuck against the lower sides in the table that look to sit back and frustrate the opposition. One man who could be the answer to this problem is Naby Keita.
Whether you are a fan of the way RB Leipzig's methods of operating or not, you can't deny how impressive their rise to the top of German football is. One of the main reasons for their incredible second place Bundesliga finish in only their first ever season in the top flight is the revelation of Keita. The Guinean, formerly of the other Red Bull team Salzburg, registered 8 goals and 7 assists in 29 league starts, particularly impressive considering he plays in a deeper role most of the time.
His ability to drive forward from deep is a valuable asset, as only Ousmane Dembele trumped him for most dribbles completed per match on average during the course of the season. The 22-year-old is also has a strong defensive side to his game making four defensive actions on average per game, whilst making only one mistake that led to a goal all season.
Keita is a player that Klopp hugely admires and one that would significantly improve the whole Liverpool side. Signing him, however, is likely to remain a tough proposition as, due to their huge riches, Leipzig are in no position where they need to sell one of their star assets. The decision lies with the player himself as the sporting director at the Red Bull Leipzig Arena, Ralf Ragnick, has the intention of offering the player a new contract soon. If Keita does seek a move to England then it is likely he will cost in the region of £50 million.
January proved to every single Liverpool fan and Jürgen Klopp what a mistake it was to not buy another winger during the winter transfer window. When Sadio Mané jetted off to the African Cup of Nations Liverpool were within 5 points off leaders Chelsea. By the time Mané returned, however, Liverpool were seven points behind and Chelsea had a game in hand. The lack of pace in the side in Mané's absence meant the club racked up only one point from six, suffered an embarrassing FA Cup exit at home to Wolves and missed out on a place at Wembley with a semi-final EFL Cup double-legged defeat to Southampton. Therefore, it's no surprise that Klopp has already reportedly agreed terms with a winger similar to Mané. That man is Mohamed Salah.
Frequent viewers of the Premier League will remember Salah for his disastrous spell at Chelsea, where he registered just thirteen appearances in two seasons. The Egyptian has since had subsequent loan spells at Fiorentina and, the club he eventually signed for, Roma. During this return to Italy, he has established himself as one of the best wingers in the Serie A and becoming one of only 8 players to register doubles figures for goals (15) and assists (11) in Europe's top 5 leagues last season. At just the age of 24, he could form a devastating partnership with Sadio Mané for years to come at Anfield and his tremendous work rate fits in well with Klopp's gegenpress style.
Roma need to sell players before the end of this month to meet financial fair play rules and the sale of Salah for a fee of between £35m-£40m, which would be a club record fee for the Reds, could happen in the very near future. With reports that the former Basel man has already spoken with Klopp and agreed a £90,000 a week deal the transfer could be announced within a couple of weeks.
If Liverpool fail to agree a fee with the Italian side, then they may look towards another option in the Serie A. Keita Baldé Diao has been a long-term target for Liverpool and ESPN have reported that scouts have been sent on a regular basis to watch him since 2014. With the player's contract expiring at the end of 2018, Lazio will look to offload the winger as soon as possible with domestic rivals AC Milan and Juventus also interested.
Reports this morning have also linked Liverpool with Sporting Lisbon's Gelson Martins. At just 21 years of age, he is certainly someone who could have a long-lasting career at Anfield and he fulfils plenty of characteristics expected in a winger.
He has a plethora of lightning pace and isn't afraid to run at his man – something he did to devastating effect against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. However, he does lack the physique required to compete in the much stronger Premier League and Sporting would be unlikely to sell their prized asset for a small sum; despite the need to sell to fulfil financial restrictions.
If Jürgen Klopp completes signings for his three main targets it will see Liverpool smash their transfer record a potential staggering three times in one window. With the return of Champions League football and star names being attracted to the club once more, the 2017/18 season could be a truly thrilling ride for everyone involved with Liverpool Football Club.

Torrington's Susan B. Anthony Project works to regularly educate students about sexual abuse
TORRINGTON >> In the wake of the sexual abuse and cyber bullying scandal that has moved through the Torrington School District this week, the Susan B. Anthony Project emphasizes the importance of education about these issues.
Executive Director Barbara Spiegel said that they've been running community education programs within school districts in the 20 towns they cover since the project was founded locally 30 years ago.
Police confirmed Wednesday that charges against two 18-year-old Torrington High School football players, as well as an unidentified 17-year-old city male, stemmed from the alleged sexual assaults of two 13-year-old girls. Joan Toribio and Edgar Gonzalez, both 18 and of separate apartments at 330 Highland Ave., have pleaded not guilty to felony charges of sexual assault and two charges of risk of injury to a minor. Toribio is charged with two counts of second-degree sexual assault, while Gonzalez is charged with one.
The Torrington School District is one of the districts that gets visited regularly by community educators.
Spiegel said the programs target students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade with "age appropriate lessons."
Every student within the school district sits through these lessons, with the exception of some special-education classrooms that chose to opt out, according to Gina Devaux, a community educator. The lessons usually correspond with the health curriculum.
When asked about what may have caused the incidents involving Torrington students who likely received such lessons during their time in the school district, Spiegel said that, while she couldn't get into the mind of the individuals, they likely didn't "think thoroughly about what they were doing."
"If one bad decision led to another, the consequences are huge, and people are hurt," said Spiegel.
So far this year, the Susan B. Anthony Project has conducted one program for each grade in the high school and four programs for each grade in the middle school, according to Spiegel and Devaux.
The ninth grade program focused on cyber bullying and media, the tenth grade program focused on boundaries and consent, and the eleventh grade program scheduled for May will focus on media role models and the twelfth grade program focused on healthy relationships, said Spiegel.
The middle school programs cover similar topics but are designed in a way that is more appropriate for sixth, seventh and eighth graders, according to Devaux.
"If you live in Torrington and go through the school system, these lessons are reinforced every year," said Spiegel. "We have a whole range of curriculums. The lessons are interactive, relevant and current. A couple of years ago, we weren't talking about Twitter. It was Myspace and then it was Facebook and then it was texting."
Speaking about whether the recent Torrington accusations will spark increased programming, Spiegel said that she hoped it would raise additional awareness of the project as a resource to the community.
"If this event triggers something in them, whether they are friends of the victims or worried about someone, we want people to know we're here," said Spiegel. "We can give support. We can give information.
Additionally, Spiegel hoped that children would use the information from the provided programs to help themselves make good decisions in the future.
"I hope there will be more community dialogue and that we'll be able to do a presentation for parents as well," said Spiegel.
Devaux said that, generally, the students are very involved in the lessons because the educators try to make them interactive and educational.
"Our increased presence helps us build relationships," said Devaux. "They appreciate us being there."
"We really can't be doing this enough," said Spiegel
The area that Spiegel said they hope to increase is including teachers, parents, coaches and religious leaders in on the conversation.
"Everyone needs to be speaking the same language," said Spiegel, "and be collectively intolerant of sexual abuse."
According to Spiegel, the goal of these lessons is to speak directly to the would-be offender, "so it's truly prevention." They also hope to help victims of sexual abuse and educate bystanders.
"Historically with interpersonal violence and sexual abuse, there's a huge burden on the victim, which is wrong," said Spiegel.
She said there can be a lot of variables, including embarrassment, as to why victims chose not to come forward. Bystanders should know that they can speak up and file a complaint, said Spiegel. Anyone can question.
"What is sexual harassment? What is date rape? We want those messages spread," said Spiegel. "Confronting the offender. Saying, "stop it." It works."

"I've had to put my foot down."
Camila speaks out.
Just as you heard from Tinashe, Camila Cabello spoke out about what it means to be a women in the music industry during a recent interview with Lena Dunham as part of her "Noise" podcast, which surfaced on January 5th and also featured Charli XCX, Lizzo and more.
Cabello recorded her appearance prior to her departure from Fifth Harmony, but that doesn't mean that the 19-year-old budding solo star didn't offer her less than desirable take on the sexualization of 5H. "Especially with being a girl group, there's been a lot of times where people have tried to sexualize us to just get more attention. Unfortunately, *** sells," she said. "There's definitely been times where there's stuff that I have not been comfortable with and I've had to put my foot down."
It's hard to forget that Miss Cabello joined 5H during the Stateside version of "X Factor" in 2011 when she was just 15-years-old. It appeared that Fifth Harmony was first being marketed as the female equivalent to One Direction, but the race levels turned up somewhere along the line. Thankfully, she knew how to balance that.
"I feel like it's been tricky because we've had to grow into ourselves while being in front of the world and while making songs that did have a lot of sexual undertones," she explained. "There's nothing wrong with sexuality. If you have that inside, it's just an expression of who you are. If you want to share that with people, that's amazing."
Listen to Camila talk about growing up in Miami, her own songwriting and social media in the full podcast below!

A dancing chicken drummer or a dancing chicken drumstick?!?
Either is an image to make a person smile.
Keep learning!!!
Hello, and welcome to March! The vernal equinox happens this month, which is the only time of the year that you'll ever hear the word 'vernal' by the way. ("What if we called it, you know, the spring equinox?" "No, I really think calling it the vernal equinox will make us sound way smarter.") The equinox, as you probably know, is the day where the earth consists of equal quantities of slush and mud. And although that's not technically what the equinox means, that's definitely what it should mean.
Now if you're in the habit of reading my newsletter, then you'll know that I'll normally encourage you to overcome whatever difficulties you're currently facing, personally or professionally, by finding fun and entertaining ways to re-imagine the world. The whole point is to encourage you to keep learning and growing and building and whatever other –ing words that I'm forgetting right now. (Forgetting! That's an –ing word!)
But this month I want to do something different. Sometimes it amuses me to go to museums and listen to podcasts and do other things that remind me how little I know. That's a nice way of saying that the weight of my own ignorance occasionally inspires me to want to learn more. Does that mean I'm calling you ignorant? Of course not. But let's be honest – you have definitely walked from one room of your house into another room, stood there for a few seconds, and then realized that you had completely forgotten why you wanted to be there in the first place.
So here are 8 strange and scarcely believable things that should interest you enough to want to learn more about life, the world, and business. Let the weirdness begin!
The Moon Used To Be Attached To The Earth
Totally true. In the beginning, there was just the Earth. Then, a few billion years ago, some giant meteor came along and smacked our semi-liquid planet so hard that a giant chunk of it spun off and eventually formed the moon. It is believed that the entire process took…wait for it…24 hours.
Aluminum Ore Is Bright Orange
Or bright red or bright red-orange, but it certainly doesn't look like aluminum. Most of it comes from bauxite, and you can find a picture of that here (link to it). Would you have ever thought this weird red rock could cover your half-eaten casserole in the refrigerator? Me either. Thanks, whoever figured that out! It makes me feel strong to be able to rip metal in half.
Theodore Roosevelt Once Got Shot While Delivering a Speech
And then kept on talking for another hour or so before he bothered to call a doctor to remove the bullet. (Side note: I got shot once right before delivering a speech, but it was a tetanus shot, and I was fine. In case you were worried.)
Phil Collins Is a HUGE Fan of Texas
He has one of the largest private collections of Texas paraphernalia, Alamo documents, and other historical artifacts. How a British singer became such a huge fan of Texas is a total mystery. How he's not a country singer is an even bigger one.
Delta Airlines Started As a Cropdusting Company
They made a little extra money during the agricultural off-season by flying passengers around. Presumably those flights operated at a cruising altitude of 11 feet.
Michigan and Ohio Once Fought a War Over Toledo, Ohio
Nobody died, though. In the border dispute between the state of Ohio and the territory of Michigan, both sides drew the line through Toledo. So they sent militias down to threaten each other. It is amazing to today's Michiganders that they ever wanted Toledo that badly, but it does explain why Wolverines and Buckeyes are rarely seen in the same bars.
Brad Pitt Started His Career As a Dancing Taco
Or sometimes a dancing burrito. But he definitely worked at El Pollo Loco when he first moved to L.A. with the idea of becoming an actor. Based on his acting success, my guess is that he was a much more believable dancing taco than the average dancing taco.
I Once Worked As a Dancing Chicken
True story. I took my drums down to the streets of downtown Nashville dressed up like a giant chicken and played my little chicken heart out on the weekends. You make more money as a chicken drummer than as a human drummer, by the way. And who knows? Maybe I'll get discovered one day. I mean let's be honest – a dancing chicken drummer is waaaay cooler than a dancing taco.
So there you go! The world is full of strange and incredible things. Your life has undoubtedly had its share of weird and wonderful moments. And I'd bet anything that your career still has some strange and incredible things coming to you, as long as you're willing to keep your eyes open and learn more about what's possible. Have a great month!

A dancing chicken drummer or a dancing chicken drumstick?!?
In keeping with the Vernal Equinox and strange and scarcely believable things, did you know that during the equinox you can stand eggs on end? Try it. If you don't believe me I have pictures! 🙂
Thank you! I truly enjoy trivial trivia and these are all bits of information I did not know. I recently attended a luncheon that you were the keynote speaker and reveled in every minute of it so, you know I did not waste time getting to your newsletter!
Thanks again!

Include Office content in your web pages
As some of you know, one of my team's core focus is to enable developers to build amazing solutions on top of Office 365. And over the last few months, we've released a lot of new extensibility features, documentation, samples and open source projects to support the ecosystem.
In this blog post, I wanted to share an extensibility tip which is super easy that any user can do without writing code – embed Office files in any web page, including blog posts, using the power of Office Online. This is a very simple, yet powerful way, of displaying dynamic spreadsheets, presentations and word documents. You can do this for documents stored in OneDrive and OneDrive for Business.
So how do you do it? In OneDrive, it's very straightforward and visible in the standard navigation. You just go to http://www.onedrive.com, sign-in, select the file you want to embed and then click on "Embed" at the top to copy the HTML code. You also have the option to embed a folder under Folder Actions –> Embed Folder. So if you have a public folder, you can share it easily with everyone. If you want to embed a file, the key is to select the file so you get the Embed option in the top nav. This, as you would expect, respects the OneDrive security permissions that have been configured.
The actual code is below. The parameters are straightforward and you can easily change them.

So in this example, here's my Copenhagen Ignite keynote presentation embedded in this blog post that I've shared with everyone:
You can do this for other Office file types as well. Here's a demo Excel file hosted on my personal OneDrive in the same folder:
The TechNet team took advantage of the power of embedding Office files in web pages in their Office 365 service comparison page @ http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dn788955.
So what about embedding documents stored in OneDrive for Business? You can do the same thing – you just have to do a little more work to find the HTML code to embed the doc. Like before, security permissions are respected. For PowerPoint and Word files, you can find the HTML code in the document preview under the "Embed Information" option in the document library (see below).
Below is the code. This has more extraneous HTML code, but is similarly constructed with parameters for a document id, width and height. One thing that's missing is an authkey. This code requires someone to be authenticated.
This is an embedded Microsoft Office presentation, powered by Office Online.
For Excel files, there's no UX to grab the HTML code. You need to take the HTML code from any PowerPoint/Word file and replace the sourcedoc GUID with the Excel file GUID. You can easily get the Excel GUID by viewing the Excel file with Excel Online – it will be in the URL string.
Here's a screenshot of how I embedded a PowerPoint and Excel file hosted in my OneDrive for Business on a SharePoint page using Page Viewer web parts. As you would expect, when I embed the Excel file, I also get the App for Excel that was inserted into the file – very cool.
This is pretty straightforward when you're looking to embed files in an authenticated intranet/extranet scenario, but how do you embed Office files hosted in OneDrive for Business in anonymous scenarios? Assuming your IT admin has allowed for external anonymous sharing (more info on that here), you need to select the file you want to share, choose share, choose "get a link" and then create a link.
Here's the guest link:
You'll notice that the guest access token and docid are parameters. You can use this to construct the embed HTML URL as follows:

For example, here's the PowerPoint session hosted on my Office 365 demo tenant's that I presented at WPC with my colleague Tanuj Bansal:
So have fun trying some of these tips out! It's clearly not for every scenario, but can be powerful to help tell your story, share content and let your customers analyze data on your web pages.

The sacrificial system had one major problem in the O.T. It provided temporary forgiveness because it was based on the blood of animals. We know that it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin once and for all (Hebrews 10:4). That is why year after year, the high priest would go in and sacrifice over and over again. The Old Testament system provided no permanent cure for sin (Hebrews 7:23-28). It was just an outward temporary cover that did not touch the root of sin; that is why sacrifices of bulls and goats were being repeatedly carried out over and over again.
The Bible says that sin shall not have dominion over you when you are not under law but under grace. So if you are living in sin, you are definitely not under grace (Rom.6:14).
Jesus has mediated for us a better covenant, a covenant of GRACE and not of WORKS, guaranteed for us by a cosigner (Hebrews 7:22). It is a covenant marked by BELIEVING and RECEIVING instead of by EARNING and DESERVING.
Paul says:
"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even as we have believed in Jesus Christ that we might be justified by the faith of Jesus Christ and not by the works of the law. For by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." (Gal.2:16)
Nobody is saved any other way than by faith in God, in Christ, in His death and resurrection.
Without the blood there is no power! The blood is of Jesus is everything!
It is the central focus of our faith, the present and eternal life of our souls. There is no pardon, no salvation, no righteousness, no sanctification, no justification, no heaven but by the blood of the Lord Jesus.
It is only by that one sacrificial death of Jesus Christ that was total in every aspect! That was complete in every respect! That we have access to a holy God and can stand right with Him today. We don't stand right with God because of our religiosity! We don't find favour with God because of our righteousness! We are not accepted in His presence because of our respectability! We don't have a place in heaven because of how good we have lived in this world! The truth of the matter is that there was a DIVINE EXCHANGE THAT TOOK PLACE ON THE CROSS BY THE SINLESS SOUL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Nothing else can wipe away our sins except the blood of Jesus! Nothing else can push back the power of darkness, except the blood of Jesus! Nothing else can set us free, except the blood of Jesus! Nothing else can heal us of all our sickness and diseases, except through the blood and broken body of our Lord Jesus!
In fact, according to the Law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness (Heb.9:22).
The blood of Jesus speaks of mercy and forgiveness. He offered up His own blood at the mercy seat of the Father. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God (Rom 5:9).
This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus (Romans 3:22-23)
It is only by what CHRIST sacrificed for us on Calvary that you and I have a right standing with God.
This was the very reason why Paul became so upset with the Galatians when he discovered they were going back, trying to earn their blessings by good works.
He says:
"O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?" (Gal.3:1)
In other words, Paul was saying, "How in the world could you ever accept a doctrine of salvation by works when you have already tasted salvation by faith?
He said, "You started well in the spirit! You ran well! You performed well! He is asking; Is it some kind of evil spell or charm that has blinded or mesmerized you from walking in the truth? You have given up Christ and gone back under the Law." Trying to perform! Trying to earn your righteousness from God. How could you ever add anything to the cross when Jesus said: "It is finished."
The story of Zacchaeus the tax collector in Luke 19:
Behold there was a man named Zacchaeus a Publican. A Publican is a Jew working for the Romans. They were wicked, ruthless and unreasonable exploiters of the people. Because of this they were normally excommunicated from the temple and thrown out of the Jewish community.
Jesus walked right up to Zacchaeus in Luke 19, Zacchaeus had said nothing to Jesus. He looks at him at the Sycamore tree. Jesus calls up to Zacchaeus to come down. "Today I am going to have lunch with you." What is that? That is grace.
Let's see what grace does to Zacchaeus. He runs ahead as Jesus gets to his house. All Jesus said was I am going to eat lunch with you. Jesus never told him to clean up his life, only then I will come to your house.
How did grace impacted Zacchaeus? Zacchaeus said: "This day I will give half my goods to the poor. And whatever I have stolen I will give fourfold to them."
All Jesus said was, "I am going to have lunch with you today". Jesus did not tell him to put his life right! Jesus did not tell him to put his house in order! Can you see what grace can do to you today? I am telling you when you get embraced by the love of God, you bet your life, you don't want to sin anymore. Only then Jesus said to Zacchaeus, "Today salvation has come to your house."
"When you fall in love with Jesus, you will fall out of love with sin."
You will never have the inclination to sin again.
God sent His Son to die for you while you were still a sinner. Obviously, He does not love you only when you are perfect in your behavior and thoughts. His love for you is unconditional.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6).

When you can look a thing dead in the eye, acknowledge that it exists, call it exactly what it is, and decide what role it will take in your life then, my Beloved, you have taken the first step toward your freedom.
Iyanla Vanzant
Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.
Brené Brown
A while ago, I answered 25 thought-provoking questions, of which one was;
10. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?
This is something I've thought about lately, and I'd say no. I just can't figure out what's missing, but there's definitely a blind spot on how I view friendships.
I've ruminated this issue for almost a month now. I noticed that although I have great friends, I felt…unnoticed,invisible. I was often the one starting convos or checking up on people. The same thing rarely happened with me. In fact, if anyone showed me that they had taken notice to me in any way; noticing my pic on whatsapp or reading a post from 9 months ago,it would touch me so deeply and leave me mindblown with gratitude. Don't get me wrong – I wasn't lamenting this fact, in pondering it, but years of introspection has taught me one thing ; cause-and-effect. Everything that happens has some sort of connection to me. In this case; what was I doing/not doing that made me such a distant and reserved person? It had to be me, and not in a self-critical capacity, but I knew it was something fishy.
Well, I figured it out. I'm emotionally unavailable and I seek out emotionally unavailable people. Whenever a friend tries to strike up a conversation or writes me an email, I feel it's so tedious because deep down I believe it's only semantics and formalities because there's nothing interesting about me, right? I feel uncomfortable with being in the spotlight and I feel that I'm selfishly hogging attention that I don't deserve. So I seek out people with whom I have (mostly) one-sided interactions. I convince myself that these aloof people are secretly shy or, like me, don't think they are worth the attention. But I'll show them; I'll care for them, and keep up with them, and pick up conversations whenever they drop ( never entertaining the thought that they dropped it on purpose). In short, I'd build a false sense of confidence in that empty space between us that we've evacuated . There's no threat to my anxieties there and since I know that the other party isn't interested in me, that only relaxes me because I know that I'll forever remain behind the scenes.
Emotionally available people scare the crap out of me. I say it like I'm an emotionally unavailable person, but not really. I'm building the bridge to cross over to the other side, and I've explored countless issues related to unavailability in the form of codependency, lack of boundaries, standing up for myself, etc. There are always neighbouring issues before you get to the core issue.
It is when I looked at my friendships from this angle that I realized I had ignored the friends who were interested in me and instead I became pre-occupied with apathetic 'friends'.
Besides, when I'm so pre-occupied with dodging emotional proximity and numbing my pain, I'll be so self-centred that I won't have the energy or ability to care about anybody else. In fact, the times that I notice how invisible I am are the few times I rear my head from behind the latest escapism project; how ironic! I go hide and then wonder why no one can find me.
Come to think of it, I do have great friends and I now see how evading my pain and unresolved issues destroys me behind my back. When I focus on others, I lose sight of myself and the things that really matter in life.
And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."
Khalil Gibran
Gee, Khalil, did you have to rub it in my face like that? -_-

If you were a "David Bowie," would you be the Thin White Duke or Ziggy Stardust? If you were a Michael Jackson song, would you be "Bad," or would you be staring at "The Man In the Mirror?"
Thanks to a deluge of incredibly popular online quizzes from pop-culture Web sites like Zimbio and Buzzfeed, you may already know the answers to these not terribly pertinent questions. While these sites and others like them generate more content than these Q&A's, the draw, at least of late, has been prefabricated quizzes that ostensibly tell us something about ourselves.
Here's how it works: you spot a quiz like "Which Classic Rock Band Are You?" on your Facebook feed. You're a huge Led Zeppelin fan and you have no doubt you are Page, Plant and Bonham melded into one singular badass. So you take the quiz, which is brief enough to be completed while waiting in line at the grocery store.
You answer eight or ten questions, some that seem as far removed from the subject as possible. You're unsure how the leafy vegetable you like best dictates which arena-rock band you are, but you gamely answer "radicchio." Then, when you're done, the quiz gives you a selection based on your responses.
If your answer was The Doors and not Zeppelin, you might be "Dazed and Confused" by the results. There obviously was a "Communication Breakdown." You might wonder if there's any science to any of this. At least, I did. The Doors? Uh,no.
So, I set out to find some answers, with the help of some Houston musicians.
"We don't use sociologists or psychologists when building quizzes, because I think they would be a bit dry. Instead we have experts in [their] respective areas come up with the quiz ideas and write the questions and range of possible outcomes," says John Newlin, vice-president of content for Livingly Media, which publishes the Zimbio site
"So, the 'Which Taylor Swift Song Are You?' quiz was created by one of our writers whose working knowledge of all things Taylor Swift is downright intimidating," Newlin explains. "She also happens to be quite smart and funny, which helps a lot, too."
I decided to test the accuracy of this particular quiz by asking Whitney Flynn to take the test. She's Days N Daze's vocalist and trumpeter, whom I've known since she -- and T. Swift -- were both kids in high school. My best guesses for which Swift song she'd "be" were a) "I Knew You Were Trouble"; or, b) none. (Note: my son is also in Days N Daze.)
"Unfortunately, I think my results were pretty accurate," Flynn reports. "I got 'We Are Never Getting Back Together,' and that song is so goddamn sassy. I'm a pretty sassy lady, I must say, and rarely take shit from people who don't matter to me.
"Plus that music video is really goofy; I'm into it," she adds. "I initially thought I'd get "I Knew You Were Trouble' just because 'Dub Shift' holds it down in that song. Real talk, y'all."
Rhonda Roberts and Sherita Perez are Little Spear, a busy folk-pop act. Perez took time from running the band's current Indiegogo campaign and preparing for a May 10 gig with Kishi Boshi at Fitzgerald's to engage in these exercises. She took a Buzzfeed offering, "Which '00's Indie Band Are You?"
She learned she is Of Montreal. Each answer comes with a blurb explaining the selection, and hers read, "You're an extremely volatile person, and no one can predict when you're either going to be in an upbeat, excitable mood, or a depressed wreck. When you're feeling good, you're extremely fun and flirtatious. You have a very open mind, and are often up for really freaky behavior."
"It sounds about right," says Perez. "What's funny is, I was listening to blues artists in the '90s and Sarah McLachlan, the Cardigans, anything from the Lilith Fair. Also Sublime and some They Might Be Giants. I think Rhonda was way more hip."
Not every quiz churns out the expected results.
"I guessed Brad Paisley; I got Zac Brown and the description doesn't fit me in the least," admits Heath Childs, a country-rocker whose album, Falling Blind, is set for release this spring. He took "Which Country Star Are You?"
"The description said, 'You're incredibly chill, and that's only partly because you're a bit of a stoner. You have a romantic streak, but your one true love is Southern cooking,' Childs says. "Other than the fact that I may have a romantic streak, none of the rest of that applies to me."
Story continues on the next page.
Newlin admits it's not a perfect formula. He says there's actually been feedback -- some of it quite vehement -- to quiz results.
"Oh yeah, we get that a lot, but it's almost entirely in good fun," he says. "Jason Alexander took our 'Which Seinfeld Character Are You?' quiz and got The Soup Nazi, which he joked about on Twitter. And the Star Wars quiz result cards became an internet meme, which is arguably the sincerest form of flattery."
Newlin says the quizzes Zimbio mid-January have already become a big driver to the site. About half of all its visitors in March came because of a quiz.
"For sure some of the authors who've created music-based quizzes for us, both in-house and freelance, have musical backgrounds in some capacity," notes Newlin. "Definitely. But first and foremost, they're huge fans of music and the subjects about which they're writing. You can't fake authenticity."
"The quiz 'Which David Bowie Are You?' is our most popular music-related quiz, but 'Which Beyonce Song is Your Anthem?' is a close second," he adds. "Since most of the entrances to quizzes come organically from readers sharing their results on Facebook, traditional patterns of clickability don't necessarily apply. I think the David Bowie quiz has been so successful because he has a timeless cool factor that lends itself nicely to Facebook sharing."
Newlin says the quizzes are fun, but they need some accuracy about them. Much more thought goes into building a quiz than taking one, he cautions.
"We have hundreds of quiz ideas we've not built, mainly because we haven't gotten around to them yet," Newlin says. "Our publishing platform is pretty slick and fast, but we recognize readers are spending a lot of time on these quiz pages, so we take a great deal of consideration producing them so they're done right and the experience is an enjoyable one."
As a content controller, he has obviously taken Zimbio's music quizzes. I asked if he'd been surprised by any results.
"Probably my result to the 'Which Michael Jackson Song Are You?' quiz," he admits. 'I got "Bad' when I fancy myself much more as a 'Billie Jean' sort of guy. Who writes these things?!"
Jesse tried his hand at building an original online music quiz, "Which Houston Music Venue Are You?" Try it and let him know if he was pretty correct or a clueless moron. If you've ever wondered whether your life is as exciting as an average 50-year-old's, follow him on Twitter.

Manchester United angry after wine attack on bench
Manchester United are considering making a formal complaint to the FA over their substitutes' bench being showered with red wine after they took the lead against Arsenal through Kieran Gibbs's own goal on Saturday evening. Several of the visiting team's substitutes were covered in wine after a missile was thrown from the section housing Arsenal fans near the halfway line at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal have launched their own investigation, which is likely to result in the person responsible being banned from the stadium. It is believed that the incident was captured on CCTV and involved a single supporter, who was arrested yesterday.
Arsenal could be hit with an FA charge of failing to control their fans if a formal complaint is made, but given

I have been swimming every day for the past week. After our big swim adventure I kind of fell out of the habit of swimming. Every day I was too busy, it was too cold, or I didn't feel well. But this is ridiculous, I live just a couple of miles from the sea, it is August, and I am on holiday or working from home – this is prime swimming time.
So on Friday I made a commitment to myself to start swimming every day whatever happens …..
The past week has included some fabulous swims. I have realised I have mutated into the crazy old woman who swims alone in the sea with her faithful dog keeping pace on the shore; the woman who squatting on the shingle, haphazardly wraps her slightly mutilated, but rather expertly reconstructed body in discoloured towels while conducting a continuous monologue with a dog who isn't really listening, but is trying to be polite. And you know what? I am totally happy about that.
Friday: I swam at Shingle Street with some friends – Kainaat couldn't believe it when he got to the beach and all his campsite friends were there – thank you Evan, Lucy, Ellie, Victor and everyone else for playing with him and for the swim – you got me back in the water and for that (and much more) I am grateful.
Saturday and Sunday: I swam in the lagoon with Kainaat – it was blue-brown with a hint of green and perfect.
Monday: Again in the lagoon but I hung out with a family from the campsite and realised that my swimming was a form of mindfulness – thank you for our conversation.
Tuesday: swam early morning at Shingle Street with my lovely heroic swimming friend Alfie. The air had an autumnal feel and the sea was perfectly still. There was no-one else on the beach – it was wonderful.
Wednesday: it rained all day, but I still swam. As chance would have it I stopped at exactly the same place on the beach that I sat with Alfie the day before – right next to our cairn of stones.
As I got in the water there was a brief break in the weather before it started to rain again. The sea and the sky were battleship grey, but again there were hardly any waves. I felt I was swimming in a painting by my friend John. I was alone on the beach, with only my dog for company.
Thursday: a brighter day, the tide was low and when I swam all I could see was the high shingle bank rising on the land side and the blueish brown of the sea. Kainaat, as usual, kept watch. I couldn't remember where I had left my clothes.

TNT Orders New Dwayne Johnson-Hosted Reality Series
TNT is back in business with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
After one season of The Hero, the cable network has greenlighted a new eight-episode unscripted series for Johnson to host and executive produce.
Premiering in 2014, Wake Up Call (working title) follows everyday people who are facing challenges in their lives. From dysfunctional homes and dead-beat dads to sports teams that don't gel and businesses struggling to survive, Johnson will help turn them into success stories.
"We had a wonderful time working with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson on The Hero, in which he challenged and mentored a group of everyday heroes," said David Eilenberg, senior vp unscripted development for TNT and TBS. "Wake Up Call evolved from our experience on The Hero and is its natural successor, bringing the human spirit of that show home to take on everyday challenges. In this new series, Dwayne will bring his mission of empowerment and change right to people's front doors."
Wake Up Call hails from Electus, 5x5 Media and 7 Bucks Entertainment. Executive producers are Ben Silverman, Chris Grant, Jimmy Fox, Craig Armstrong, Rick Ringbakk, Charles Wachter, Johnson and Dany Garcia.
The Hero, a competition series that aired this past summer, wrapped its eight-episode run with 1 million viewers in August.
The series comes as TNT continues to bulk up its unscripted slate, which already includes Dick Wolf's Cold Justice, Boston's Finest and Mark Burnett's On the Menu.

We know we are bias but we think we have the cutest colleague in town. When you enter one of our office locations if he is onsite you will be greeted with a waggy tail and an inquisitive sniff.

His communication style is questionable, and he is the last to answer the phone but he keeps moral in our offices high and offers cuddles to relieve tension. His favourite day is Friday when bacon sarnies tend to be floating around during the morning meeting.

Mobile phone usage concepts
Interactive Product and Service Design of Personal Area Mobility
Introduction | Design challenge | Conceptual design work | Results
The objective was to create concepts and mock-ups of mobile units that incorporated a set of attributes described by the client.
The focus was on identifying needs and behaviors in relation to mobility and mobile technologies. This led to a smorgasbord of use-cases. The concept should include functional parts and describe how they are used and how they contribute to the experience of using the mobile unit. Another requirement was that the final concept was developed together with users in a user-driven process.
Many mobile phones today contain a lot of different components with different functionality. Add-ons such as hands-free and chargers are clumsy and hard to use. There is however, a big competitive advantage in having as many of these components as possible in a single unit simply because it is easier to carry around.
The challenge of this case was to incorporate different components in a mobile unit but still offer the possibility to conveniently separate parts.

This is a page from Science of Mind magazine that really inspired me one day when I was feeling extremely low:
"When you have come to the edge… and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught to fly." Patrick Overton
"When you analyze faith, you find that it is a mental attitude against which there is no longer any contradiction in the mind that entertains it." The Science of Mind p.283
At some point in life, everyone is brought to thier knees. Eventually, we each come to a place where everything we've tried has failed, or everything we've known is no longer applicable. It is in this place that we find GOD.
When we come to the end of our inflated and insignificant ego-achivements, we find ourselves standing in awe of the sacred life of our Creator. it is here that humility and faith meld within us to form a confidence that all is well.
Sometimes we find our faith be losing it first. Some circumstances come along in life to challenge us. At first, we are afraid. We ask, "Why me???" And then, after our knee-jerk human reaction, we realize we have a choice: Will we fall victim to our circumstances, or reach down within and find the faith to overcome them?
Every challenge brings a gift hidden within. Everything occurs to teach us faith and calls on us to depend on a Power higher than our own. Everything is designed to bring us closer to GOD.
What is happening in your life to challange you? How will it strengthen your faith? How is it bringing you closer to GOD?
(The following is a daily affirmation that is at the bottom of everything page)
GOD has resources that I dont know about yet. I have faith that everything necessary to overcome my challenge will be supplied.
Needless to say, I think everything going through anything in their lives needs to pick this handy magazine up. You can find it at your local Chapters. Some days its been my salvation. And its it seems like God himself directs it somedays, just what is on my mind some days is what the daily guide will be about. Some days its down right creepy how accurate it is. Some days when you've feel like you've lost your faith, it helps to regain some of it back.

In the summer of 1982, I worked for the Federal Government, Public Works, Architectural and Building Sciences.
My job interview as a bit confusing, but something I understood much better later in life.
I showed up at this huge imposing government for my interview. I signed in and a nice admin escorted me though a maze of passages until we arrived at a cubicle facing the window on baseline road. I was introduced to two middle aged men, both dressed conservatively without a tie. I was invited to sit down and the interview began, they began:
"You are an electrical engineering student?"
"Do you know how to program in 8080 assembly?"
"Do you think you can learn how to program in 8080 assembly?"
"You are going to Carleton University?"
"We are Carleton Engineers too – congratulations the job is yours!"
I spent that summer in the basement of the Sir Charles Tupper Building. It was me, a bunch of computers, old furniture, a VAX minicomputer and a liquid nitrogen plant. It was dark, dry, chilly and very quiet…. they told me what they wanted and they left me alone for the summer.
I loved that job and appreciated the importance of alumni.

Submit by mail or online!
PLEASE NOTE: Due to coronavirus crisis, addresses for postal submissions have temporarily changed. Send to the addresses shown below, not those you may have used before.
Free Inquiry is published bimonthly by the Center for Inquiry. It publishes articles explaining the principles of secular humanism and supporting those living out its ideals. It explores the contributions of science as they increase our understanding of the world and our ability to improve it. It also examines the damage done by ignorance, intolerance, and superstition. The readership includes scholars, researchers, and lay readers with diverse backgrounds. Free Inquiry also publishes a very limited amount of poetry.
Free Inquiry considers only original articles not published elsewhere in print or electronic form. Exceptions to this policy include book excerpts, articles previously published in foreign publications with small U. S. readership, or by special arrangement with the editors.
Authors must not submit an article to any other publication, printed or electronic, while Free Inquiry is considering it for publication. Multiple submissions (articles submitted to several publications simultaneously) will not be considered. The editors may at their discretion reject a previously-accepted manuscript if they discover it has been published elsewhere. Please note that online publication is considered previous publication.
Free Inquiry protects authors' privacy. We do not publish or divulge authors' contact information. Paper or electronic communications addressed to authors in care of the magazine will be forwarded promptly.
Editorial Requirements
Write clearly and simply; assume an intelligent general audience. All submissions are judged on the basis of interest, clarity, significance, relevance, authority, and topicality. As space is limited, there is a maximum of 6,000 words for Articles, 1,600 words for Departments.
Once a manuscript is tentatively scheduled, copy-edited, and typeset, proofs are sent to the author. Corrected proofs should be returned within 5 work days. Make suggested changes only on galleys. Do not retype the submission. Keep changes minimal.
Like most magazines, Free Inquiry cannot guarantee publication of submitted articles. The editors guarantee careful consideration of each article submitted. Unless otherwise agreed, copyright will be transferred to Free Inquiry upon publication.
We maintain a journalistic rather than technical tone, so in-text notes are discouraged. Except for articles published as research reports (rare), numbered in-text notes are not permitted; nor are in-text APA-style parenthetical references. If a few in-text notes are occasionally necessary, one such reference is permitted per finished page, in every case marked with an asterisk pointing to a footnote on that typeset page. In general, authors are encouraged to insert reference information into their text in plain English ("As Smith asserted in her 1990 Title…"). Most references should be placed at the end of the article in a list titled References, Further Reading, or Recommended Reading. Format is Author-surname, Author-given-name. Title [or, if an article, "Title"] (City: Publisher, Year). End-of-article notes may not include page numbers.
Content Warnings. Since Free Inquiry encourages authors to engage in free and untrammeled inquiry, it is understood that any article may contain material some readers or members of the public may find offensive or disturbing. Content warnings (so-called "trigger warnings") for individual articles ("This article discusses rape," "This article presumes that the Apostle Paul engaged in conscious fraud when writing his scriptures") are not permitted, as they would be redundant.
Capitalization of "secular humanism" and "humanism." It is the policy of the Council for Secular Humanism that the life stance, or eupraxsophy, known as secular humanism is not a religion. For this reason the phrases secular humanism or secular humanist are never set in text with initial capitals (Secular Humanism), but is always set in lower case, subject only to ordinary rules for capitalization at the beginning of a sentence ("Secular humanists maintain that …"; note that only the first word of the phrase is capitalized). This is intended to minimize the likelihood that casual readers might misconstrue a passage to imply that secular humanism is a religion.
The words "humanism" or "humanist" should not be capitalized in text so as to minimize the risk that humanist, even without the modifier secular, will be misconstrued by casual readers as a religious label. This is intended as a countermeasure against false claims by religious activists that humanism, with or without a modifier, is inherently religious. When religious Humanism (that is, humanism as an explicitly religious commitment) is being discussed specifically, the word humanism in that phrase may be capitalized, as shown immediately above. When Humanism is capitalized the complete two-word phrase ("religious Humanism") must be used in every instance; the word Humanism must never appear capitalized without a modifier.
Capitalization of Racial Identifiers. Adjectives identifying racial groups by color (such as Black and White) should be capitalized.
Mechanical Requirements
Submissions should include the author's mailing address, daytime phone number, and email address.
Text should be delivered in a word-processor file such as is produced by Microsoft Word or similar programs (.doc, .docx). Word processor files should include text only, with any charts or graphics delivered in one or more separate spreadsheets or graphics files. Word-processor files must not include embedded or anchored text. Text intended for publication as a sidebar or other supplement should be plainly marked and included in the article text. PDF files, HTML files, .ODT files, and files produced by Adobe InDesign, Quark Xpress, or Microsoft Publisher are not acceptable for submission.
Figures and graphs should be in high-quality camera-ready form, or in any common electronic graphics format. Please do not send Adobe InDesign, Quark XPress, or Microsoft Publisher files for use as graphics.
Electronic photos are acceptable if in the editors' judgment their resolution is sufficient. Hardcopy photos are also acceptable. Photos may be black and white or color.
Poetry Submissions
All submissions for poetry should be submitted to Ted Richer in the preferred format for publication. Only one hard copy of the submission is required, but it is recommended to include a PC-readable electronic media such as a cd-rom or thumb drive. Please mail all poetry submissions to Ted Richer, Literary Editor, c/o Tom Flynn, Free Inquiry, 14 Surrey Run, Williamsville NY 14221. Submissions can also be emailed to email@example.com.
Book Reviews
We do not consider unsolicited book reviews. If you wish to write a book review, please contact the editor first (firstname.lastname@example.com). Books are often assigned for review with long lead times; when you inquire you will be informed whether the book you wish to review has already been assigned to another reviewer.
Letters to the Editor
Free Inquiry publishes selected letters to the editor that are 300 words or less and pertain to previous Free Inquiry articles. Send submissions to Nicole Scott, Letters Editor, c/o Tom Flynn, Free Inquiry, 14 Surrey Run, Williamsville NY 14221. Letters to the editor may also be emailed to email@example.com, and should include the writer's city and state of residence (also country if outside the United States). Letters intended for publication must include your name, address (including city and state), and daytime phone number for verification purposes only. Not all letters can be published; letters may be edited for clarity and content.
Submit by Mail:
Articles should be submitted as three sets of 8-½ x 11" hardcopy with double-spaced type. In addition, the hardcopy should be accompanied by PC-readable electronic media such as a cd-rom or thumb drive. We take no responsibility for media readable only by Apple computers. Hardcopy submissions unaccompanied by media will be considered only by advance arrangement with the editors.

RE-repeat, 2014
The history that passed by can now be passed on through the act of re-recording and re-repeating. A fragmented yet coherent memory; a parallel history is now recreated.
To recreate, retell, repeat, recollect, record, research, reincarnate and re-exist. Adding two letters [re] before a word forms another dimension; or perhaps may allow to tell a story again for different perceivers and by that creating new perceptions, and if auspicious, filling the gaps.
Going through my father's archive, I began to admit how I was with no memory and no first-hand history. I interviewed him about Palestine, Kuwait, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, the UAE and asked him about Vienna and London; I asked about the time of the Arab pride. By repeating and re-repeating, I started to recognize my father's memories as my own; remembering and retelling his stories of the Palestinian women who sold milk to survive with dignity, how I sat with Jabra Ibrahim Jabra to discuss my work and the times I went to the opera and how I met Haj Hussein. The importance lies in the missing history or the non-existing tangible personal memory. Having the tangible documents and re-repeating my father's memories somehow granted me eligibility to be in Palestine through the archive and the narratives given. The archive here helped me be in a space that I am not allowed to physically exist in. Recording my father's story helped me have a history that may not be inscribed in books, a history that was told through an alternative classification of art and resistance. This installation acts as an entrance to a memory, one that is real (my father's) and imaginary (my own) at the same time. The audiences are induced to immerse themselves in a sensational space of fragmented memories shown through documents, moving images and sound.
This project was exhibited as part of the Young Artist of the Year Award 2014, supported and organised by Al Qattan Foundation.
