Evangelist Smith Wigglesworth, who will be in the midst at Angelus Temple July 3rd, is a strong and kindly man, made kindly, people say, by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. He has a strong voice but not uncontrolled, well controlled, evidently the result of much practice: and what a message rings forth from his mouth! It is direct from the heart and soul to a hungry audience.
His messages are simple so a child could follow him, but deep and searching, true to the Scriptures and telling of the deep things of God, gentle and tender to the weak, but true to the honour of his Master, the Lord Jesus Christ. He preaches "Salvation to every repentant sinner through the death of the Lamb of God"; "Holiness for all and healing for all through the Blood of the Lord Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.
It is not so much the form of the message which he gives as the power with which he gives it. He just relates the story of the Saviour with the facts of which his whole being is filled and thrilled. His messages bring results which are seen to all present.
Students, members, friends, and workers pray that while Brother Wigglesworth is holding his campaign at the Temple there will be a mighty manifestation of God' power to save precious souls and heal the sick through his ministry.
Every one is advised not to miss one meeting, but be on hand to receive great blessing from the Holy Word as expounded by this man of God.
Jerking off his coat, throwing, it over a chair in inspired faith. Wigglesworth ordered every person who is in pain and dares step out of (on?) God stand out in the aisle, march or be carried to the platform and pray!
The audience gasped! At first a few, but in a moment scores. In another moment hundreds were pressing their way toward the man who had thrown out the gauntlet. Everyone who expressed any active faith, testified that their pain and distress ware instantly removed. Many declared they had the witness of instantaneous healing.
Contrary to the opinion of critics, who think only nervous and minor ailments are aided by prayer, it was found that the diseases of the multitude who pressed upon Brother Wigglesworth were in the main desperate and chronic. Cancers, tumors, Bright's Disease and anemia, tuberculosis, heart trouble, ulcers of the stomach—on and on the endless line came.
Here and there came on(e) whom the evangelist recognised was possessed with an evil spirit. In a commanding gesture, as of a prophet, by the living Word of God, in Scriptural recital, demons were cast out. diseases healed, peace spoken to troubled minds. Those who had not given their lives to God were pointed to the cleansing fountain of Calvary, praying first for their salvation, and afterwards for their healing.
Angelus Temple, with its ever orderly services, was still in order, for it was God's order for this particular service.
Mighty days of blessing are in store. The sick are coming is they did to Jesus, and as they have done for many years to Sister McPherson. Prayer changes things, and Angelus Temple, both day and night, is sending up to God the incense of believing prayer. God's arm is being laid there and H1s voice heard through the message of this man of God.
Sunday - 10:30, 2:70, 7 P. M.
Thursday and Friday - 10:30 A.M. and 7:30 P. M.
Wednesday afternoon — Divine Healing - 2:30 o'clock.
Monday and Saturday evenings the regular services will be conducted. Monday evening, organizations meet. Besides this a regular service is held in the new auditorium, followed by a prayer meeting in the 500 Room. Various ministers and evangelists will be in charge.
Demons are cast out and sick bodies freed from disease and pain at the divine healing meeting. Brother Wigglesworth believes that God answers prayer, and proves it. "Faith is the victory," He quoted, then demonstrated the truth of it by praying a sick sufferer well.
Brother Wigglesworth, as well as several persons in the audience, received wonderful messages. The interpretation brought marvelous blessing to the listeners.
In speaking of tongues the evangelist announced that he would gladly give the interpretation if God gave it to him if any who had a message in the Spirit to give to the people. but if their speaking in tongues was in adoration of the Lord alone it was not interpretable and should preferably be spoken silently so that the meeting would not be interrupted.
One day in England the Lord was greatly blessing me in praying for people who had a disease which was very common. The inside of the body became so inflamed with this disease that oftentimes the people would fall in the streets. This day, as we were singing in the meeting, a woman fell down on the floor. The people knew that this disease affected her so much that she was possessed that way. So in the name of Jesus I rebuked the demon power white they were singing and she rose up to joint with us in singing the last verse.
I said. 'Nothing can help you, nothing has helped you but this,' holding out the Bible.
The devil cannot stand up under the Word. Jesus gave him a dose one time and he went away. The power of this risen Christ is to be so manifested in your mortal bodies that sin cannot have dominion.
Smith Wigglesworth, world famed evangelist, has taken Angelus Temple by storm. He is a man of action. His methods are unique, but the results are to all appearances miraculous.
Quite a plain ordinary, distinctly English gentleman, both in appearance and accent, he unexpectedly sweeps an audience of its feet, by his power and vigor when he gets warmed up and swings into action.
He says he has no knowledge of being "in the body" so far as indigestion, aches, pains, or ills of any kind are concerned. One can well believe this as the address continues, and he sees for himself the amount of energy and sheer vitality used up by this man. He is man well past the fifty mark, I should say, but he possesses and uses up the energy of a man of thirty.
He speaks with an assurance and authority that commands the respect and attention of his audience. When speaking of the Christ, his voice is soft and reverent, but in denouncing sin his voice rises and thunders forth as he shakes his fist in defiance of the devil.
Either he is a deep Bible student, or as he says, much is revealed to him by an unseen power, for his discourses in the deeper Bible study show a breadth, a depth and vision that are extraordinary. Passages of the Bible that puzzled the world seem most easily discerned by this man, and are explained in such a simple, straightforward, efficient manner that people hang upon his very words.
It is quite miraculous if real, and the earnest sincerity, the great faith of the man is the power of God, would lead even the most skeptical to give him the benefit of the doubt. He inspires an awe and reverence that would make one hesitate to do less. We predict overflow crowds for Angelus Temple.
If you want to see something distinctly different or hear something new, go hear this man, Wigglesworth. We pick him for a winner!
Words are inadequate when expressing Brother Smith Wigglesworth and his sweet, matronly daughter, Sister Alice Salter. This lovely couple—father and daughter -- have worked together in the Lord's vineyard and He has blessed them both. Mrs. Salter has accompanied her father on many of his campaigns and has aided greatly in giving sermons, offering prayers and helping with the sick who come for healing.
For many years Sister Salter has been a missionary with her husband in the darkened land of Africa, having established a work there thirteen years ago. After her marriage she went with her husband into the Belgian Congo.
Brother Wigglesworth and his daughter have been a blessing since they first came to Angelus Temple, for being so spirit-filled they have both helped to open hundreds of pairs of eyes of those who have not been able to see the Light of the Word of God; and to countless others they have spread a feast of good things from the Holy Bible.
We are a very needy people. Lord, but Thou art able to meet the need. We praise Thee for Thy love. All my weaknesses can be made strong by Thy might and power. Thou can undertake for us, whatever our need is. We stretch out our hand to Thee. Meet our need. Thou are the God of Strength.
Praise God for such people—missionaries, evangelists, and men and women of God such as Brother Wigglesworth and Sister Salter—for through their ministry hungry multitudes have been fed and brought closer to Jesus.
A wonderful manifestation of the Spirit is in evidence at the 10.30 morning meetings. The power of the Lord falls abundantly and souls are washed of all burdens as sweet words of praise flow from the hundreds of quivering lips, and it seems to every heart that the Saviour is walking in the midst.
The power of prayer has been proven over and over, and it is without one doubt that orison (Ed. prayer or petition) unto the Lord DOES changes things.
The entire school auditorium is ablaze with the fire of the Holy Spirit and although some may be first timers, they feel there is something there which they have not but are eager to receive.
That longing to be closer to the Lord is given an opportunity to be satisfied through these wonderful moments of prayer.
Yielding as an empty vessel to the blessed Holy Spirit, brother Wigglesworth brings forth words which are really not words alone, but "holy breathing" unto the Lord.
United under the blood stained banner of the Great General, the large number of men and women who crowd the school building, never leave the premises without proclaiming the time spent within the sacred walls of His Temple (was) time which may be treasured the rest of their days.
To those who have hesitated about coming to the morning meetings, let it be known "never put of for tomorrow that which you can do today." Let nothing interfere with your hearing that wonderful man of God who has a real message for his congregation.
Commencing Tuesday morning and continuing until Friday every week, hundreds of people, hungry for a closer walk with God, gather in the spacious Bible School Auditorium where at ten-thirty each day, Brother Wigglesworth brings to them the Living Word of a True and Living God who is the same today as He was those many centuries ago when He called Peter and Andrew to leave their nets and follow Him.
Time is of little consequence to those who listen to his inspiring messages. Truly they are a feast that no one can afford to miss, for each message which he gives is, in itself a feast sufficient to necessitate a week's thought before it is completely absorbed.
These glorious meetings are an opportunity of a lifetime to those who would draw closer to God and better understand the Scriptures.
The greatest purpose in these morning gatherings as in all of our meetings is, to lift those who listen to a higher spiritual plane - that each succeeding morning may find them rising to a greater height in Christ Jesus.
Where there is no progress in the spirituality of the soul it is a condition akin to backsliding - the soul must climb and continue in its upward ascent if the higher plane in which a life whose pathway follows that of the Master's closely, is to be attained.
Brother Wigglesworth expounds the Scriptures in a way that none who listen will ever forget and it is with the deepest heartfelt appreciation that the people gather each day to imbibe the life-giving message which flows like a river from the depth of his soul.
This wonderful messenger of the Gospel of Jesus Christ says that nowhere in all the world has he ever felt the unction of the Holy Spirit as he has in Angelus Temple. The Third Person of the Godhead has been glorified in a mighty way during the past three weeks and thousands have been blessed and inspired and encouraged to 'carry on' whatever the cost may be and to go deeper with their Lord.
The glory of the Lord is coming down upon the redeemed and the saints of the Lord have been lifted from glory to glory in their experiences of active faith in Christ.
We thank God for sending this dear saint and his lovely daughter, Sister Alice Salter to us at this time. They have indeed been a blessing and the prayers of the multitudes who attend Angelus Temple rest ever upon their heads.
Sister Salter has been a missionary in Africa for thirteen years where, together with her husband, they have done much toward spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ in that darkened land.
We pray that God's richest blessings will rest upon them in the days to come and that wherever the pathway of life leads, God will give them many souls for their harvest to be added to the thousands already in the storehouse of the Master.
Smith Wigglesworth, the English evangelist, and his daughter, Alice Salter, missionary from Africa, both of whom of whom have been conducting services in Angelus Temple since the first of July, and have been assisting Sister McPherson with morning Bible Study classes are leaving this week for a short vacation at the beach.
The father and daughter have worked untiringly since being at the Temple, and hundreds have been blessed through their ministry. The Temple audiences have learned a great deal about missionary conditions in Africa through Sister Salter's splendid lectures.
Brother Wigglesworth has endeared Himself to all Angelus Temple members and friends and after the first of October, when the two will return to the church, the evangelist plans to continue his morning meetings which have won favour with all.
Our dear Brother, MR. SMITH-WIGGLESWORTH, has been holding Revival Meetings for several months in Angelus Temple, Los Angeles, with blessed results. Since then, he has held meetings in other cities of Southern California. In answer to many inquiries, we are glad to be able to announce the above campaign in San Francisco. His time here is limited, so we would advise our readers to make immediate arrangements to attend these precious meetings.
Every day (except Monday) .

Angry Birds Star Wars Gets 22 New "Escape From Hoth" Levels
Rovio today added the new "Escape from Hoth" levels to Angry Birds Star Wars. The new levels follow the events of The Empire Strikes Back after Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, and C-3P0 narrowly escape Darth Vader on the surface of Hoth.
The new content features 20 new levels inside the "Hoth" planet that was unlocked back at the end of November. There are also 2 bonus levels to unlock. Players will be facing flying Mynock pigs and Rovio even teased "an epic moving boss fight."
The game has also been updated with a "Coming Soon" tease for the upcoming Cloud City levels. Those levels can't come fast enough, as far as I'm concerned, as the two things Angry Birds Star Wars is missing is a Lando Calrissian bird and a Boba Fett pig.

Q: Shortcut to Checking a String in a While Loop for Java? I'm completely new to Java programming. I'm wondering if there's a shortcut to checking an input String with many preset possibilities. As an example, I'm trying to check to see if the input matches up to specific Strings, and if it doesn't, I want it to go through a while loop until the spelling errors made by the user have been corrected.
But instead of writing
!string.equalsIgnoreCase("badstring")) && !string.equalsIgnoreCase("badstring2")) &&
!string.equalsIgnoreCase("badstring3")) && ...

etc. for, say, 40 different string possibilities, is there an easier way to write it?
Or do I just need to write
!__.equalsIgnoreCase("__") && ...

over and over?

A: It's best to use Java's new aggregate operations feature for your problem. Here's how you could do it:
import java.util.ArrayList;

class TestStrings {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        String tester = "Some string";
        ArrayList<String> badStrings = new ArrayList<>(1),
        result = new ArrayList<>(0);

        badStrings.add("Bad string 1");
        badStrings.add("Some string");
        // add more strings;

        // filter out good strings
        badStrings.stream().filter((s) -> {
            // the filter
            return tester.equals(s);
        }).forEach((s) -> {
            // fill the result list with the good strings
            result.add(s);
        });

        System.out.println(result.toString());
    }
}

A: You could store your bad strings in a Collection, and check your input by looping through the collection.
List<String> badStringList = new ArrayList<>();
badStringList.add("badString 1");
badStringList.add("badString 2");
badStringList.add("badString 3");
 ...
badStringList.add("badString N");

for (String badString : badStringList){
    if (!inputString.equalsIgnoreCase(badString))) {
        doSomething();
    }
}

A: I think instead of checking what you dont want check what you want, for e.g. in below code i want the word "Hello" as input so i'm checking only "Hello".
Please elaborate if something else is expected.
import java.util.Scanner;

public class StringEquals {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    while(true){
        Scanner kbd=new Scanner(System.in);
        String input=kbd.nextLine();
        if(input.equalsIgnoreCase("Hello")){
        System.out.println("String matched");
        System.out.println("Please try again");
        break;
        }
    }
}

}

Are reviewers chosen from among the editorial board of a journal?
If, in a certain international journal where I have submitted, the journal webpage lists the editorial board, should I expect that the possible reviewers of my paper are selected from among the members of this board?
Or is it possible that the Editor in Chief may choose an "outsider" to review my submission?
I didn't indicate any preferred reviewers in submission.
publications journals peer-review editors
Brian Tompsett - 汤莱恩
AnnaAnna
Generally, when a paper is submitted to a journal it is first assigned an editor. The editor then identifies a qualified outside reviewer for that particular manuscript, and invites him/her to review the paper.
So the answer is: No, you should not expect that the possible reviewers of a paper are selected from among the members of the editorial board.
ff524♦ff524
Thank you, this was useful to know, as my submission has been 6 months "under review" and I was wondering if it has stuck on the table of some of the members...thank you once again. – Anna Jul 16 '14 at 9:06
After six months (in most fields) you could already send an email and ask what is the situation with the manuscript. In many fields even much earlier. – mmh Jul 16 '14 at 9:35
Thank you, I have not dared to ask, as I am afraid it might influence negatively to the editors. My field is history, so I thought that it might normally take as long as about 8-12 months, but soon I will have to ask what has happened. – Anna Jul 16 '14 at 17:28
The purpose of peer review is to obtain constructive evaluation of the submitted manuscript from peers who are experts in the field free from conflicts of interest relative to the manuscript and author(s). Hence it is essentially irrelevant if the reviewer is one of the editors. That said, it is very unlikely that an editor ends up reviewing a paper for two reasons. If the editor is an expert, it is far more likely he will be the editor for the manuscript. An editor, with, probably, much work to to do with other manuscripts, is also less inclined to take n review work unless the manuscript is of particular interest. So chances are quite small.
In the journal I edit, I know editors have accepted reviewing the topic. In these cases, the topic has been such that it has been given to another editor who have identified the other editor as a potentially valuable reviewer. Commenting on your comment: I would expect editors to be more punctual with reviews than "normal" reviewers but there is no rule without the occasional exception.
A final comment. I do of course not know how the journal you have submitted to works. But, a normal case is for a Chief Editor to pass on the task of assigning and evaluating reviews to an Editorial Board or Associate Editors (as is the name for them in "my" journal). I think the case of a Chief Editor doing all that work is very unlikely because of all the work involved so it seems far more likely that it is one of the editorial board who is handling the review process. The Chief Editor may be involved in screening submissions and putting a final stamp of approval to the final manuscript as well as handling all the work visavi the publisher.
Peter JanssonPeter Jansson
Thank you Peter, this was good to know as I dont exactly know the working policies of the editor in chief / board members. The publication is relatively prestigious in my field, so the relatively long status as "under review" may indicate that or a) the manuscript is not accepted and they have "forgotten" to inform me b) there has been conflicting opinions c) they have a lot of other manuscripts that are waiting for publishing and they have so far ignored the manuscript. Thank you for enlightening the issue. – Anna Jul 16 '14 at 17:39

DEE SNIDER And ALEX SKOLNICK Call For Tougher Gun Laws After Two More Mass Shootings In America
TWISTED SISTER's Dee Snider and TESTAMENT's Alex Skolnick have called on lawmakers to enact tougher guns laws after back-to-back mass shootings in the United States left at least 29 dead and dozens injured in Texas and Ohio on August 3 and August 4.
In El Paso, a gunman opened fire as customers crowded into a Walmart during the busy back-to-school shopping season Saturday morning, leaving 20 people dead and another 26 wounded. Just hours after the El Paso attack, a mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, left at least nine people dead and 26 wounded.
Earlier today, Snider took to his Twitter to write: "As a 2nd Amendment supporter & a concealed carrier I have to say something must be done with our gun laws. 'Arming the general populace' didn't work in El Paso. That city has open carry, concealed carry & campus carry - it is gunned up. It did NOTHING to stop the mass shooting."
Skolnick, who made headlines last month for saying that America has "the weakest gun laws in the developed world," also weighed in on the latest mass shootings in a discussion on his Instagram. Addressing one fan's comment that he should "stick to [his] music" and that "problems run much deeper than guns and the 'control,'" the guitarist wrote: "I don't see how it affects your rights if the type of high powered weapon used today in El Paso — and so many other mass shootings that it's becoming a regular occurrence — is treated like an airplane, requiring training, licensing, vetting and not purchased fairly easily in some states. You should have to earn that privilege for such weapons — not talking about more standard rifles & pistols with which you can still have your 2nd Amend. Right. But if someone has a manifesto to kill as many people you don't like as possible (like the suspect in Texas does) and openly praises other mass killers like the New Zealand shooter (as the Texas suspect did on social media), then SORRY, he should not have the right to own one of these hi-powered weapons of war. No one's coming for your 2nd Amendment right but it's time to recognize our right not to get shot in this matter by this type of inidivividual with this type of weapon."
BLACK VEIL BRIDES frontman Andy Biersack also called on Washington, D.C., to make changes after the Dayton and El Paso shootings, writing on Twitter: "It's difficult to put into words the sorrow I feel for those impacted by this continuous senseless violence. It's clear that something needs to change. My heart is with you Dayton and El Paso. We must find a way through this darkness."
President Donald Trump, who is spending the weekend on his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, addressed the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton in several tweets Sunday morning, saying: "The FBI, local and state law enforcement are working together in El Paso and in Dayton, Ohio. Information is rapidly being accumulated in Dayton.
"Much has already be learned in El Paso. Law enforcement was very rapid in both instances.
"Today's shooting in El Paso, Texas, was not only tragic, it was an act of cowardice. I know that I stand with everyone in this Country to condemn today's hateful act. There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people."
Skolnick has made no secret of his political views, ocassionally tweeting against Donald Trump's policies, including imporing the U.S. president to "get the HELL out of OUR country" in August 2017 after Trump tweeted about his proposed border wall while Tropical Storm Harvey made landfall in Texas.
Back in 2012, Skolnick tweeted that Ted Nugent, Donald Trump and Dave Mustaine didn't "seem that reasonable" to him because of their "militant" support of then-Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
In 2017, Snider — who got to know Trump personally after appearing more than once on "The Celebrity Apprentice" — said that he could no longer be friends with the billionaire real estate mogul because he did not share the president's views on important issues, including the Trump administration's harsh immigration policy.
Snider found himself in the middle of controversy in 2016 when he asked Trump to stop using the 1984 TWISTED SISTER anthem "We're Not Gonna Take It" in his campaign. The singer said at the time that Trump was very gracious about the request.
As a 2nd Amendment supporter & a concealed carrier I have to say something must be done with our gun laws. "Arming the general populace" didn't work in El Paso. That city has open carry, concealed carry & campus carry - it is gunned up. It did NOTHING to stop the mass shooting.

It's difficult to put into words the sorrow I feel for those impacted by this continuous senseless violence. It's clear that something needs to change. My heart is with you Dayton and El Paso. We must find a way through this darkness.

Independence Day chief Roland Emmerich needed to battle the studio in request to give Will Smith a role as one of the leads. Delivered over this equivalent end of the week in 1996, Independence Day helped introduce another period for blockbusters after it turned into the most noteworthy grossing film of the year. Independence Day additionally featured Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Randy Quaid, Mary McDonnell, and Judd Hirsch.
To pay tribute to that milestone commemoration, THR gathered Emmerich, screenwriter Dean Devlin, and a few of the stars for an oral history of Independence Day. When looking back on the casting, Emmerich and Devlin reviewed how twentieth Century Fox didn't care for their concept of Smith for the part of superstar pilot Steven Hiller. "It was really clear it must be Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum. That was the combo we thought," Emmerich said. "The studio said, 'No, we don't care for Will Smith. He's problematic. He doesn't work in international [markets].'" Devlin added that, explicitly, the studio said, "'You cast a Black person in this part, you're going to kill unfamiliar [box office].'" The two answered with, "'Well, the film is about space outsiders. It will do fine unfamiliar.'"
Devlin explained that it's anything but a fight with Fox, and that "Roland truly defended [Smith]." In the end, they won, however it boiled last minute. "It was quite in the blink of an eye before the shoot we actually hadn't secured Will and Jeff. I set some hard boundaries," Emmerich said. "'General individuals are calling each day, so give me these two entertainers or I move around there.'" He recognized that it presumably wouldn't have been feasible to move like that, yet it was "an extraordinary danger." What followed is cinematic history, with Smith going on to be a huge famous actor and his onscreen organization with Goldblum being one of the features of Independence Day.
Ethan Hawke was momentarily considered for Smith's job, yet it's protected to say Emmerich and Devlin were shrewd to trust their guts. It's difficult to picture any other individual as Hiller. Notwithstanding all that, Smith selected not to return for Independence Day: Resurgence, instead choosing to star in Suicide Squad for Warner Bros. It was a move that really end up being a shrewd once, since Suicide Squad was the greater film in 2016. All things considered, fans may have appreciated seeing Smith return. Fortunately, the primary Independence Day continues to live on, hence allowing crowds to make the most of his exhibition quite a long time after year.

Speculative Fiction and Literary Snobbery
When I was a kid spending endless hours in bookstores and invariably doing my English homework first (often to the detriment of most of my other classes) there was "literature" and then there was fantasy/sci-fi and an assortment of other genres of fiction. There was the occasional stray outlier–I first heard of Possession and Joyce Carol Oates' writing in one of The Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy yearbooks, and I studied Tolkien in class–but on the whole there were boundaries.
The thing is, the harder you look at these boundaries, the more arbitrary they are–or rather, the boundaries are based on the writer's skill, not the aspects of the story. Personally I find this a bit silly. I wholly agree with categorizing novels according to the skill and grace with which a given writer tends to construct sentences, plots, and characters, but not the variety of story he or she tells. I am hopelessly fond of Cassandra Clare's Infernal Devices series and have never liked anything that Hemingway wrote, but pretending that the former is in any way substantively better writing than the latter would be absurd; looking down on a novel or other narrative solely because it involves ghosts or dragons or alternate worlds without regard to the quality of the writing, no matter how good, is likewise absurd, but it happens all the time. Where the quality of the writing cannot be questioned, the fantastical elements are either ignored or minimized, or the novel is cast as one that deals with heavy philosophical or existential questions, as though the fantasy or sci-fi setting is irrelevant rather than, as is true in most cases, necessary to the framing of said question.
When dealing with novels that are truly great, the sort of novel that is always going to be in print and studied in high schools and universities for generations to come, the label of "fantasy" disappears–there's the South American tradition of magical realism applied to the work of Marquez, Borges, and others, but for the most part there's a strong resistance to admitting that fantasy or any other style of genre fiction can be well-written. Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus, Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Michel Faber's The Book of Strange New Things, Virginia Woolf's Orlando, Bram Stoker's Dracula–these are all usually, if not invariably, classified on bookshop shelves and in libraries as "Literature" with a capital L, and never as fantasy, because somehow the skill with which they are written exempts them from being genre fiction–genre fiction being something to be embarrassed about. Even The Book of Strange New Things, which is set partly in a dystopian future Earth and partly in a new planet we earthlings are colonizing as our own civilization is falling apart, is described as "genre-defying" and "defiantly unclassifiable." No, it isn't. It is entirely and unapologetically dystopian sci-fi, and has a couple of significant flaws that make me question why it got such a long list of rave reviews, but that's a different blog post.
Even among fiction firmly classified as genre, fantasy and sci-fi seem to be a lower-class label. When I was in Boston I was telling Margaret about an online course I took I few years ago on fantasy literature; towards the end of my long-winded description of the books I read for the course, I remembered that it wasn't focused on fantasy literature at all, but on historical fiction. The problem was that of the six books we read, the three I had the strongest memories of were as much fantasy as they were historical fiction, two to the extent that they contradicted the ostensible focus of the course. (It's hard to discuss representations of the Salem Witch Trials in fiction when the main text for the class is for the most part devoted to a woman in present-day New England who dives head-first into a sexy romance with a local handyman while learning how to cope with her newfound ability to cast magical spells.)
My favourite book for the course was Yangsze Choo's The Ghost Bride, which deals with the practice of ghost marriages in late nineteenth-century China. There is some history–the beginning offers a clear explanation of the practice of ghost marriages, as well as some of the social divisions of the time and culture in which the story is set. The greater part of the action, however, takes place when the figurative titular "ghost bride" enters a realm of ghosts and demons, and is aided in her quest by a dragon who can take the form of a man. The fact that this novel is defined as historical fiction, while Amberlough and any novel dealing with Robin Hood are listed as fantasy, is beyond me, even as a marketing ploy. (My favourite novel version of the Robin Hood story is Jennifer Roberson's Lady of the Forest. There is not the merest glimmer of magic in it, but because it's a Robin Hood retelling, I have always found it shelved as Fantasy whenever I've noticed in a bookshop. The same is true of Robin McKinley's version, The Outlaws of Sherwood, if I remember correctly, and Parke Godwin's Sherwood, but I discovered them all on the shelves of the Fantasy section as a teenager. The Godwin version, at least, seems to be classified as historical fiction now.)
The Ghost Bride is fantasy. It no more deserves to be labelled historical fiction than Westworld or Firefly should be defined as Westerns. Why there remains a tendency in any corner of the reading world to look down on fantasy or any other sub-category of speculative fiction as inherently less good than other forms of fiction by virtue of its subject matter is beyond me; it isn't as though Game of Thrones and the Marvel and DC comic book lines have been losing money for their creators. Neither is it a recent invention–the origins of fantasy lie in the mythology and folktales of every culture. Hopefully the growing number of writers who are as brilliant in crafting a sentence as they are in creating new worlds and compelling characters will continue to grow, and the literary snobbery of looking down on speculative fiction will finally become a thing of the past.

Reading: Octavia Butler, Kindred
Author Octavia Butler
Kindred is a seminal work of science fiction. This is what I had been told, and this is what I went in to the book expecting. It's not what I came out thinking (although I thought plenty of other things). Octavia Butler's novel features a woman who finds herself inexplicably pulled through time whenever a particular person is in mortal peril, which unfortunately happens a lot. She is a black woman. He is a white man in early-19th century Maryland, the son of a slave plantation owner.
Published in 1979, Kindred is generally referred to as the first science fiction published by a black woman. 1979 was the year in which Margaret Thatcher was elected, Michael Jackson released "Off the Wall," and five people protesting the KKK were shot and killed (by the KKK) in North Carolina. As relevant as the complex issues Butler raises in her book felt to me today, I truly can only imagine what they felt like to the average reader in 1979.
Butler's writing is thoughtful and well-crafted, the pace of the story fast and yet each scene lingers. The relationships that Dana (the heroine) develops–with her white husband in both their own time and the antebellum South; with the slave-owning, abused boy to whom she is so oddly tied; and to the enslaved blacks on the plantation–are richly imagined.
That being said, I had a lot trouble reading this book as science fiction. Sure, Dana is pulled through time. That's pretty weird. Turns out the guy is her distant relative. That's intriguing. But there is no more exploration of that theme, and no investigation into what greater meaning it may have. The characters seem at best bemused.
I enjoy a lot of speculative fiction that doesn't fit squarely within the box of a genre. And yes, science fiction has evolved a lot since 1979, but Dune had been out for 14 years, Star Wars for two; the genre was pretty well established. There is so very little in Kindred that could identify it with science fiction that I wonder if it hurts rather than helps the book's tremendous power.
Reading this as a straight parable, or as historical fiction in which liberties are taken (see: Outlander…), might open it up to new readers. Far from diminishing Butler's work, I would rather see it correctly homed so it could have the broader recognition it deserves.
Stuck for POC-authored sci fi? Try this excellent Buzzfeed list of 19 books, and one from Colorlines for comparison.
Still, perhaps I am not accounting sufficiently for the glass ceiling effect. Kindred does not constitute science fiction to me, but for a black woman to write herself in to a genre that had previously excluded her? That is extraordinary.
Have you read this or other works by Octavia Butler–forget that, by any person of color in this still very-white, very-male genre? Do you think I'm being too restrictive in my definition of science fiction? I'd love to hear what you think in the comments below.

Art on a Postcard & Jealous Print Studios Jake & Dinos Chapman, Anita Klein and Rowan Newton Screen Print Editions
Art on Postcard & Jealous Print Studios are releasing screen print editions by Jake and Dinos Chapman, Anita Klein and Rowan Newton at The London Original Print Fair 4-7 May.
Anita Klein invited Art on a Postcard to look through her archives and decide on an image they would like to reproduce. Gemma Peppé, Director of Art on a Postcard says
"Anita is such a prolific artist so there was a lot to choose from. We each decided to pick our top 4, share it with each other, then whittle it down to our favourite image. The image we've gone for heralds the coming summer with its sunny yellows, blue sky and lush green leaves. You can't help feeling happy and hopeful when you look at it."
Jake and Dinos Chapman have reworked an etching called Bunny Dreams. Nominated for the Turner prize in 2003, the brothers have been collaborating in painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture since the early nineties.
Rowan Newton has produced a new image of an elegant nude in umbra, deep reds and oranges especially for this release. Rowan's nude has her arm over hiding her face and her body curving almost into an S shape. This is Rowan's first new print in a while so are delighted that he it's us he chose to release it with.
Gemma Peppé says
"Working with Jealous is such a pleasure for us at Art on a Postcard. The quality of the prints and the care they take with the work marks them out. They are all art lovers with a huge amount of knowledge for the contemporary market. We are continually learning from them and benefiting from that knowledge."

Art on a Postcard raises money for The Hepatitis C Trust.
The Hepatitis C Trust is the national UK charity for hepatitis C. It was founded and is now led and run by people with personal experience of hepatitis C and almost all of our Board, staff and volunteers either have hepatitis C or have had it and cleared it after treatment. Historically, hepatitis C has been neglected, partly because there has been no concerted patient voice. People with hepatitis C have typically kept quiet because it is infectious and because it has been wrongly stigmatised as 'a drug users' disease'.
The Trust is committed to changing this, by:
• raising public awareness that this is a virus that can be contracted in many ways • ending discrimination against people living with hepatitis C
• creating an active community of patients willing to stand up and be heard
• providing information, support and representation for people with hepatitis C
Art on a Postcard raises money for The Hepatitis C Trust through an annual secret postcard auction and 'postcard lotteries' which occur throughout the year. 2016's secret auction included works from Damien Hirst, Grayson Perry and Harland Miller, and raised £75,000. They have had work donated from well established artists such as Peter Blake, Gavin Turk, Rachel Howard, Gilbert and George, Polly Morgan, John Wragg RA, Stephen Chambers RA, Michael Craig-Martin and Cecily Brown as well as emerging talent such as David Shillinglaw, Hayden Kays and Daisy Cook as well as urban artists, Ben Eine, Pure Evil and Inkie and photographers Dougie Wallace and Rankin.
The Hepatitis C Trust is working towards eliminating hepatitis C in the UK by 2030. In 2015 our campaigning led to the Scottish Government committing to our program of elimination. In 2016 our campaigning led to not only Westminster committing to elimination but the World Health Assembly singing up too.

US escalates threats against Turkey, leverages election controversy
Keith Jones
US Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo used the presence of Turkey's foreign minister in Washington this week for a NATO foreign ministers' meeting and events marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the trans-Atlantic imperialist alliance to ratchet up US threats against Turkey.
In a public address Wednesday, Pence delivered an ultimatum to Ankara. Washington, he vowed, "will not stand idly by" while Turkey, a NATO member since 1952, "threatens the very cohesion of this alliance" by buying the Russian S-400 air defence system.
Spelling out that Washington will dramatically downgrade the US-Turkey military-strategic partnership, if not ultimately move to expel Turkey from NATO, unless Ankara bows to Washington's diktats, Pence declared: "Turkey must choose. Does it want to remain a critical partner in the most successful military alliance in history or does it want to risk the security of that partnership by making such reckless decisions that undermine our alliance?"
For his part, Pompeo, according to a US State Department readout of their meeting, told Turkish Foreign Minister Melvet Cavusoglu that Turkey faced "potentially devastating consequences" if it expanded its military incursion in Syria against the Kurdish YPG, without Washington's blessing.
The readout did not say what those "consequences" would be. But the Washington military-security establishment has insisted the US continue to deploy military personnel alongside its Kurdish YPG allies in northern Syria, at least in part as a warning to Ankara that should it attack them it could find itself in a military clash with the US. President Trump, it should also be recalled, threatened in January that the US would "devastate Turkey economically" if it attacked the Pentagon's Kurdish allies.
In the readout, State Department spokesperson Robert Palladino, also demanded Turkish President Recip Tayyip Erdogan and the ruling AKP (Justice and Development Party) drop their challenge, under the provisions of the country's electoral laws, to the initial vote-count of last Sunday's mayoral elections in Ankara and Istanbul. "Acceptance of legitimate election results" are "essential for any democracy," wrote Palladino.
With delivery of the first S-400 batteries to Turkey slated for June and Ankara spurning a US offer to instead buy its Patriot missile system, Washington has already begun to take retaliatory action. Reuters reported Monday that the US has suspended delivery to the Turkish military of parts and equipment related to the deployment of the F-35 stealth-fighter.
Other US actions, according to State Department officials, could include removing Turkish companies from the F-35 production chain, halting other US arms transfers to Turkey, and making Ankara a target of the draconian anti-Russia 2017 "Countering America's Adversaries through Sanctions Act."
The latter contains a quiver of measures, escalating from travel bans and asset freezes targeting select individuals to punishing trade sanctions. Apart from the invocation of the Countering America's Adversaries Act, US officials have not revived, at least publicly, Trump's threat of damaging Turkey economically. However, there is no doubt that the Turkish economy, now mired in recession for the first time in a decade, is highly vulnerable. The Turkish lira plummeted last August when Trump doubled US tariffs on Turkish aluminum and steel imports to force the release of an American pastor accused of participating in the failed July 2016 military coup.
The US threats notwithstanding, Turkey is adamant that the S-400 purchase is irreversible.
In response to Pence's ultimatum, Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay tweeted that it is the US not Turkey that now confronts a choice: "Does it want to remain Turkey's ally or risk our friendship by joining forces with terrorists to undermine its NATO ally's defense against its enemies?"
Foreword to the German edition of David North's Quarter Century of War
Johannes Stern, 5 October 2020
After three decades of US-led wars, the outbreak of a third world war, which would be fought with nuclear weapons, is an imminent and concrete danger.
"Terrorists" is the term Ankara uses to refer to the YPG, the Syrian offshoot of the Kurdish nationalist PKK against which it has fought a brutal counterinsurgency war in southeast Turkey for the past 35 years.
Officially, NATO does not have a position on Turkey's plans to buy the S-400, as military purchases are the purview of the member states. But the US is adamant that Turkey is jeopardizing both US-Turkish relations and NATO with the purchase, and has rebuffed Turkey's appeals for the setting up of "a technical working group" to ensure that the Russian-made defence system does not threaten NATO's operations and weapons systems in Turkey.
Undoubtedly, there are significant military and economic issues bound up with US-Turkey clash over Ankara's plans to purchase the S-400. But it is a flashpoint for even larger geopolitical conflicts arising from Washington's three decades of ruinous wars in the Middle East—wars that have blown up whole societies and set the region's imperialist-imposed state system ablaze—and its ensuing turn to "strategic conflict" with Russia and China.
The Turkish bourgeoisie, including under the AKP, has sought to profit from the US-led and fomented wars. But it has repeatedly found that what it considers its core strategic interests have been ignored and damaged by the actions of the US and European imperialist powers. This is above all true in regards to maintaining the integrity and unchallenged dominance of the Turkish ruling elite over the Turkish Republic and preventing the strengthening of the geopolitical position of its Kurdish bourgeois rivals within any of the adjacent states.
Erdogan eagerly supported the US regime-change war in Syria. However, to Ankara's dismay, the US responded to the failure of its first proxy army, the Islamist rebels, by partnering with the PKK-aligned YPG.
Ankara's overriding objective is to establish a buffer zone between the YPG-controlled enclave and Turkey, and ultimately destroy the proto-Kurdish state.
Washington, on the other hand, is determined to maintain the enclave as a territorial base for continuing its bloody drive to unseat the Assad regime, to break the shaky alliance of convenience Erdogan has struck with Russia and Iran to roll back US influence in Syria, and to prevent Ankara from being drawn closer into the orbit of China, which in recent years has emerged as a major economic partner of Turkey.
Further enflaming tensions with AKP-ruled Ankara are the repeated US attempts to cut Erdogan down to size, if not remove him. These include Washington's backing of the abortive July 2016 coup, the doubling of the aluminum and steel tariffs, and now alongside Pence and Pompeo's threats, the brandishing of the election issue—which, whatever the immediate outcome, indicates it is plotting to make Erdogan's bourgeois rivals the front for a US-orchestrated regime-change campaign.
Turkey, meanwhile, continues to insist that it wants to maintain close ties with the US. Toward that end it has supported a slate of aggressive new US actions against Russia. Like the rest of NATO, Ankara has backed Washington's repudiation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) and the provocative naval exercise NATO has vowed it will mount in the Kerch Strait, the passageway between Crimea and the Russian mainland separating the Black and Azov Seas.
Speaking after Pence at the same meeting marking NATO's founding, Foreign Minister Cavusoglu insisted Turkey remains committed to the US-led war alliance. He condemned Russia's annexation of Crimea and its "aggression" in the Black Sea, a reference to last year's clash with Ukrainian naval vessels.
"We have been working with Russia," said Cavusoglu, "but it doesn't mean that we are undermining the alliance and we agree with Russia on everything. There is no shift on our foreign policy."
Ankara is hoping it can counteract or at least reduce the impact of US belligerence, by strengthening ties with Europe, especially Germany. Not coincidentally, Germany was also denounced by Pence in his Wednesday speech, for partnering with Russia in the Nord Stream Two natural gas pipeline project.
Turkey and Germany have just announced plans to strengthen economic ties, with a top German official declaring, "It is in Germany's interest to see that Turkey's economy is doing well."
Significantly, the very day that Washington demanded Erdogan forego any legal challenge to the election of opposition mayors in Ankara and Istanbul, the New York Times published an editorial hailing last Sunday's nationwide local elections as proof that "Turkey's political opposition"—led by the CHP (the Republican People's Party) and the Kurdish nationalist HDP (Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP)—"has shown it is alive and capable of pushing back."
The Times, like the pseudo-left in Turkey itself, is promoting the CHP-led, HDP-supported Nation Alliance as the "democratic" opposition to the authoritarian Islamist Erdogan.
That Erdogan is a vicious enemy of the working class is indisputable. But the principal difference between the AKP and its bourgeois opponents is the latter's even more pronounced orientation to the US and European imperialist powers.
The traditional party of the Kemalist elite that ruled Turkey for eight decades ending only during the first decade of the current century, the CHP is implicated in all its crimes. These include four bloody coups, the sponsoring of fascist violence against the working class and the left in the 1970s, and the brutal repression of the Kurdish population.
True to its history, the CHP backed the failed 2016 coup. Yesterday, the prospective CHP mayors of Ankara and Istanbul, respectively, Mansur Yavas and Ekrem Imamoglu, showed their true democratic colours by making tweets honouring the death anniversary of the colonel who founded the fascist MHP (Nationalist Movement Party).

Apple May Be Able to Avoid China Tariffs, and It Has Tim Cook to Thank
The iPhone maker has been able to navigate the trade tariffs unscathed, and a big reason is CEO Cook's relationship with the White House. That courtship will be put to the test soon.
Donna Fuscaldo

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock is (so far) finishing 2019 on a high note, and it doesn't necessarily have a new iPhone or streaming service launch to thank for the rise.
It does have a chief executive who has been able to steer the tech company through a protracted U.S. trade war with China relatively unscathed. The main reason: CEO Tim Cook's working relationship with the White House.
At a time when executives like Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Jeff Bezos are criticizing President Trump, Cook has taken a different approach. He has befriended the president, reaching out when Apple needs help. Cook also sits on Trump's Workforce Policy Advisory Board and in late November gave the president a tour of an Apple manufacturing plant in Texas.
Source image: Getty Images.
Cook's Trump courtship serves Apple investors well
The openly gay CEO, who is openly at odds with the president on immigration and climate change issues, still has Trump's ear and has so far successfully made the case about why policies such as U.S. tariffs will have a negative impact on Apple's business. It was reportedly during a private dinner with Trump in August that Cook explained why Apple should be exempt from tariffs. Trump told reporters following the dinner that Apple laid out a "good case."
That's in stark contrast to Amazon's Bezos, who also owns The Washington Post. His company has gone as far as to threaten to sue the Trump administration for losing out on a huge $10 billion, 10-year Pentagon cloud computing contract, claiming political bias.
The relationship with Trump has served Apple investors well over the years. Thanks to Trump's tax bill in 2017, Apple repatriated $238 billion, saving billions in taxes. Its stock is up 80% since January when shares tanked after it issued a rare warning of an earnings miss in the just-completed holiday quarter. Apple blamed its business efforts in China for the miss.
Since then, investors have renewed confidence in Apple, in big part because of how Cook has expertly navigated the trade war with China. While investors care about the latest iteration of the iPhone, they understand the impact tariffs can have on its bottom line and reward Apple when it makes progress in avoiding the additional tax that a tariff imposes.
Apple employees appear to have Cook's back
China is a big market for Apple. It reported $11.1 billion in sales from that region in its most recently reported fourth quarter.
Apple's iPhones and iPads are assembled in China, and it relies on the country for many of the components that go into its computers and devices.
If it is subjected to tariffs, it will have to shoulder the increased costs or pass them on to consumers in the form of higher prices. Either option could dent profits, which were up 4% in the fourth quarter, and gross margin, which was 38%. It's the reason the stock moves when there are developments in trade talks between the two countries. Apple's stock hit an all-time high in October after Trump said the U.S. and China were making progress on trade talks.
A similar fate was bestowed Apple's shares after Trump's late November tour of an Austin, Texas, Apple plant that produces its Mac Pro computer. The plant will continue to churn out computers after the White House agreed in September to waive tariffs on Chinese-made computer parts Apple needs for its U.S. production. During a press conference following the tour, Trump said Apple could be exempt from Chinese tariffs that have been delayed, sending the stock surging yet again. "The problem we have is you have Samsung -- it's a great company, but it's a competitor of Apple, and it's not fair if -- because we have a trade deal with Korea. We made a great trade deal with South Korea, but we have to treat Apple on a somewhat similar basis as we treat Samsung," Trump said.
Investors are not the only ones who support Cook's relationship with Trump. A poll commissioned by Fortune and conducted by workplace social network Blinds found 81.6% of Apple workers back Cook's efforts to work with Trump on issues and policies that could impact the company. The majority also think it's fair if some of Apple's products are exempt from tariffs. That employees have Cook's back is reassuring to investors who worry about the impact employee backlash against the controversial president can have on its reputation.
The stakes are higher than ever
Cook's relationship with President Trump is being put to its biggest test as tariffs on an additional $160 billion in products coming from China are scheduled to go into effect on Dec. 15. If the U.S. and China don't reach a deal, consumer goods like iPhones could be included in the fresh round of targeted products.
Apple is working to prevent that from happening. In addition to building a relationship with the president himself, Apple recently hired Jeffrey Miller, a Trump ally and vice finance chairman for Trump's inaugural committee, to lobby for the company. Apple disclosed in a lobbying registration form that Apple is also hiring others close to the Trump White House to be its voice when it comes to trade issues related to technology. It underscores the precarious position Apple remains in. If iPhones are affected by tariffs, it could tank the stock. But if Apple gets the exclusion Cook has been working so hard to receive, the iPhone maker may end the year on an even stronger note.

I am new comer in ZK.
Be sure you have all needed jars in the project. I don't know how you build the project. With maven?
Make a Tomcat 'clean' and Tomcat 'clean working directory' and redeploy it again.
what do you mean with 'include' ?
You can upgrade the zk version to the latest 6.5.1.1. There are only a few things to modified in your code.
oh, at this moment i use ZK 5 ( it include build path ) so if I want to use ZK 6 then I must include it again ? right ?
search the zk api for SelectorComposer.
So the SelectorComposer class is not in 5.x version.

Formal dining rooms, kitchen dinettes, breakfast nooks. Your dining needs and the room allocated for them are vastly different from that of your friends and neighbors. Whether you have a starter apartment, a spacious mansion – or, like most of us, something between – your dining table and chair set is critical to setting the tone and functionality of one's home. People are usually trying to find the best. Well the problem with that phrase is usually the very best is just a matter of opinion. So with however, Lets figure out what will be the best beer pong table in your opinion. We have to find out the differences in these tables to raised fit your needs. As dining tables are the biggest market of attention in your dining room, you want to take special care when selecting yours. It's possible to help the area to appear larger, while another can easily overtake the whole room and make one feel claustrophobic. Whilst it should be the center of attention, the sensation it conveys ought to be among comfort and style.
For many of us growing up, our family dining table was the center of family members and was useful for not only dining, but homework, game night, as a buffet table, or taking care of crafts. These days it is common to possess multiple tables for these activities, but, if your space is bound, the dining table may serve much more purposes. If this really is your first-time buying a dining table and chair set, consider how it will soon be used when choosing the right set for the house. Most standard size tables are 8 ft. long and 2 ft. wide. So, the area required for that size table must certanly be at the very least 12 ft x 8 ft. In this manner everybody is comfortable playing the game. When you yourself have an inferior room for playing you may get a 6 ft. or 7 ft. table. Now you have to store or transport your table. Some tables fold down in four sections that'll make the table 2 ft. x 2 ft. when folded up but other tables just fold in half. You'll need to find out what size more easily accommodates your playing and storage needs. Lots of people often feel a little overwhelmed when searching for dining tables. The fact is that there are so many options and so many things to consider. The form of the table may also convey a certain feeling in the room. Generally, rectangular and oval shaped tables will give you a more formal style, while a round or square shaped table will convey a more informal feeling.
Space is not merely the final frontier, it's the #1 consideration in planning for a dining table and chair set. The normal guideline is that dining tables are roughly 30 inches tall, and chair seats must be roughly 20 inches from the floor to allow enough lap space. A seat width of approximately 22 inches is really a comfortable size for most people. Designers like allowing at the least 40 inches around your table and chairs to maneuver around other furniture, but perhaps your dining table and chair set will sit snugly in your space. An ideal solution to this would be a table with extensions or drop leafs, which are great for accommodating large and small gatherings. Understand that smaller tables look good when placed against a wall with a good framed artwork on the wall above. Let's speak about the playing surface and extras that you intend to be included in the table. Personally, i like to have a nonslip rack area so once the playing surface starts to get wet the cups won't start to slide around during game play. Also, some tables come with a ball holder mounted underneath the top of the table so you won't need certainly to bother about losing your balls. Some beer pong tables even come with a bottle opener mounted privately of the table. I've even seen them have lights in the playing surface but this style beer pong table can be quite a little expensive. The conclusion on the table can also be important, especially when you are purchasing it separately. Sets, of course, will be matched finishes. Picking a table alone, however, enables you to create a more unconventional look and show your true style. Just be careful not to mismatch an excessive amount of or it will leave everyone in the room with an atmosphere of being surrounded by chaos.
Naturally, the composition of one's dining room and its furnishings will dictate how elaborate your dining table and chair set can be. Do you like arts & crafts or mission decor? Country, rustic or traditional? Maybe your room has a variety of motifs and you want a simpler style for a clean visual transition. There are quite few big name brands which are on the market today. I will suggest you remain with a brand name manufacturer. Some of those name brands include Bpong, Pong360, Bjs, Propong, and Redcup. You could spend a little more on one of these tables but at the least you understand you're finding a professionally made pong table. These beer pong tables are constructed with a top strength lightweight aluminum frame. This feature makes these tables light and durable. Also the frame will not start to rust over time. Buying a brand name table insures that you decide on a business that stands behind their product. For many who realize that their dining room table just appears to blend in with the remaining portion of the furniture, learn how to dress it up. Centerpieces of candles and flowers can certainly grab the eye of anyone who enters the room. Place settings of varying colors may also be successful, as well as a tiny assortment of mementos, like seashells, can enable you to create the appearance you are getting for.
Counter-height dining room table sets are learning to be a very popular choice. Whether you select a normal, classic dining set or bistro-style dining room table, counter-height table sets seem to have inherent ability to put guests at ease. So I really hope this little article I wrote will allow you to make an educated decision on a table. Remember to figure out what table will probably suit your preferences in the most effective way. This way you will have the most effective beer pong table that's perfect you. Don't let yourself get confused when searching for dining tables. First, make an effort to figure out the appearance you want to create and gauge the room. When the table is established in the dining area, you can then create a number of looks with tablecloths, place mats, and other accessories.


When Eric Roberts is the lead-in to your film, you know you've made a big mistake. James Franco does have talent, I think we can all agree on that, but he mostly does either terribly stupid movies or just plain terrible movies, rarely sliding into a part that will actually show off his skills. This movie looks awful, and Franco just pumps out way too many of these to be taken seriously.
