In conjunction with the exhibition Soft Territories, Sarah Zapata will perform a reading of recent texts that explore the limits and porousness of the body, and the interrelation between feet and femininity. Acting as a sort of guided meditation, Devotional will be a performance that engages the mind and body.
Soft Territories is a group exhibition presenting works by Victoria Manganiello, Simón Sepúlveda, and Sarah Zapata exploring the ways in which notions of movement, migration, and locality are expressed in contemporary textile practices. The warp and weft of the loom – the basic structure of textiles being composed of longitudinal and transverse components – echoes current critical thinking about verticality and horizontality in social and economic structures. In the artworks included, the intersection of the two planes of woven thread express ideas about politics, territories, technologies, and interactions, while enabling spaces of softness, warmth, and shelter.
Sarah Zapata makes work with labor-intensive processes such as handweaving, rope coiling, latch hooking, and sewing by intersecting theories of gender and ethnicity with pre-colonial histories and techniques. Making work with meditative, mechanical means, her current work deals with the multiple facets of her complex identity: a Texan living in Brooklyn, a lesbian raised as an evangelical Christian, a first generation American of Latin American descent, a contemporary artist inspired by ancient civilizations, an artist challenging the history of craft as "women's work" within the realm of art. Zapata's work has been exhibited at the New Museum (NY), El Museo del Barrio (NY), Museum of Art and Design (NY), Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art (NY), Boston University (MA), LAXART (CA), Deli Gallery (NY), Arsenal Contemporary (NY), and Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center (NY). Zapata has also completed recent residencies at MASS MoCA (MA), A-Z West (CA), and Wave Hill (NY), and is the recent recipient of an NFA Project Grant from the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures. Zapata was an artist-in-residence at the Museum of Arts and Design in 2016.
Knockdown Center is pleased to present Pigeonhole: The Life and Work of Bobby Alam, a new exhibition by Priyanka Dasgupta and Chad Marshall. Pigeonhole is a multidisciplinary portrait of Bahauddin "Bobby" Alam, a Bengali peddler and sailor who arrived in the United States in 1918 and lived as a Black jazz musician in New York and New Orleans. The exhibition memorializes Alam's career and explores his personal navigation of an especially precarious period in American history, prompting a reflection on the complexities of racial passing as a means for marginalized people to circumvent violence.
Alam's identity is a composite of historical realities and imagined truths, culled from the unwritten experiences of Bengali sailors who passed as Black in the early twentieth century by settling into communities of color in order to bypass anti-Asian immigration laws in the United States at the time. The artists deploy these histories to bring to light the ways in which passing can function as a strategy for survival.
The installation portrays Alam's dressing room, rehearsal space, and performance stage in the kind of juke joint where he would have spent his evenings constructing and performing his adopted identity. Objects within the installation highlight Alam's life and career as a musician: a zoot suit embellished with Indian kantha style embroidery, old handbills and concert posters, musical compositions, video documentation from Alam's rehearsals, and private recordings. Clues within each of these objects reveal, upon close reading, the staged and dual nature of Alam's identity, which subtly trespasses the lines between reality and fiction.
Over the course of the exhibition, contemporary musicians inspired by Alam will take the stage and perform live, enabling the past evoked by the installation to live once again, while resonating with Knockdown Center's function as a music venue. Additional elements of the exhibition will extend into Knockdown Center's outdoor spaces, restrooms, and bar.
Priyanka Dasgupta and Chad Marshall began collaborating in 2015. Their work is located in the gaps between history and story-telling, and draws from archival texts, sociological conventions, oral histories, postmodern theory and postcolonial studies, to examine power and privilege in the United States, and its relationship with image, and appearance. Exhibitions of their collaborative work include Pigeonhole, Dodd Galleries, University of Georgia (2019), Sunroom Project Space: Paradise, at Wave Hill, New York (2018), How to see in the dark, at Cuchifritos Gallery, New York (2018), Not an edge but a hinge, at Abrons Arts Center, New York (2018), In Practice: Another Echo at Sculpture Center, New York (2018), Loving Blackness and A More Perfect Union at the Asian Arts Initiative, Philadelphia (2017), Ornate Activate at the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum, Milwaukee (2017) and Shirin Gallery, New York (2015). Residencies include the Artist Studio Program at Smack Mellon (2018) and AIRspace at Abrons Arts Center (2018).
This exhibition is organized by Alexis Wilkinson, Knockdown Center Director of Exhibitions and Live Art.
Participating artists will discuss their textile practices and overlapping concerns with labor, movement, locality, and technology.
Knockdown Center is pleased to present Soft Territories, a group exhibition presenting works by Victoria Manganiello, Simón Sepúlveda, and Sarah Zapata exploring the ways in which notions of movement, migration, and locality are expressed in contemporary textile practices. The warp and weft of the loom – the basic structure of textiles being composed of longitudinal and transverse components – echoes current critical thinking about verticality and horizontality in social and economic structures. In the artworks included, the intersection of the two planes of woven thread express ideas about politics, territories, technologies, and interactions, while enabling spaces of softness, warmth, and shelter.
The questions of memory, identity, and borders are central to Zapata's symbiotic practice of textile making and writing. Manganiello uses hand-spun yarn and mixed natural and synthetic color dyes to create hand-woven textiles that explore intersections between materiality, technology, geography, and storytelling. Sepúlveda mixes digital and organic elements to create tapestries –a historical artifact for narrating epic tales– that reflect on experiences of migration.
Victoria Manganiello is an installation and mixed media artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Her work has been exhibited throughout the USA and internationally including at the Queens Museum, Tang Museum, Pioneer Works, and the Museum of Art and Design. Victoria was recently named one of Forbes list 30 under 30 artists for 2019. She is an adjunct professor at both NYU and Parson's The New School. Exploring the intersections between materiality, technology, geography and storytelling, Victoria's installation work, abstract paintings, and kinetic sculptures are made meticulously with hand-woven textiles using hand-spun yarn and hand-mixed natural and synthetic color dyes.
Simón Sepúlveda works on textile mixing bold graphics, with social and personal issues, like migration and identity. His work is a hyper-awareness of the precarious nature in trying to find a personal balance and also worldwide balance across migration, economics, and human rights issues. This worldwide perspective and artist direction within textiles has led him to fulfill a sense of purpose with his work. Sepúlveda's work has been exhibited at the Chilean Museum of Contemporary Art (Chile), Museum of Fine Arts (Chile), Visual Arts Museum (Chile), and Aqui Gallery (Chile). Sepúlveda is currently living and working at San Francisco as a designer for Apple. Previously he has worked as a Designer at Sagmeister&Walsh (New York), Javier Jaén Studio (Barcelona) and Felicidad (Santiago).
Carolina Arévalo is a researcher and curator. Her approach towards the idea of image as a mental state is center in the fundamental concepts of forms: the reinterpretation and representation of societies explained through historical styles, as they occur in art, design, and architecture. All objects and images communicate and can be recognized as texts; artifacts weave the public and private aspects, social and cultural conventions and the way in which people and position themselves in a context. Currently, Arévalo is also curating Sheila Hicks: Reencuentros at the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art (2019), which aims to establish dialogues between contemporary textile art and pre-Columbian textile art. Recently, she has published in Hilos Libres: Sheila Hicks (Puebla, Mexico: 2018), Jaume Xifra: Cat. Exhibit (Girona, Spain: 2018), and the article Anni Albers: Influjos Precolombinos y Legado (Goethe Institute, Colombia: 2019-upcoming).

Knockdown Center is pleased to present "27 Undoctored Photos of Betsy DeVos' Radioactive Gingerbread Learnin' Supercenter That Prove Camera Angle Is Everything. You Might Also Like: Transforming That Pesky White Guilt Into The Perfect Paleo Deviled Eggs, If You're Into That Kind of Thing (Extruded Detail)," a new large-scale work by artist Morgan Blair as a part of our FiftyTwo Ft. series of long-term wall-based artworks in the East Corridor.
Blair's painting process begins online, where she collects and collages together stills from children's claymation projects on Youtube. Seeking crudely assembled approximations of reality, she further manipulates this visual material towards and away from abstraction, making new iterations from morphed and flattened blobs of colored clay. Ultimately these compositions are transferred onto wall and canvas where the shapes are filled with hard-edged airbrushed gradients and three-dimensional texture that further obscure the subject matter. Clashing, saturated colors root the paintings in an alternate reality while rambling, stream-of-consciousness titles combine personal, political, and pop culture references suggest new contexts for the final images.
Morgan Blair is an artist based in Ridgewood, Queens. She received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 2008. She has shown her work at The Hole (New York), Paul Kasmin Gallery (New York), Shane Campbell Gallery (Chicago), Andrew Rafacz (Chicago), Left Field (San Luis Obispo), Eighteen (Copenhagen), and the Newcomb Art Museum (New Orleans) and others. Blair has also painted large-scale murals at venues such as the Facebook offices in New York, Mechanics Hall in Worcester, Ma, Swanson Road Intermediate School in Auburn, MA, and Rudy's Barbershop in Los Angeles. She also started Puzzle Time, an ongoing series of limited edition, hand-cut wooden jigsaw puzzles featuring the work of select contemporary artists.
In conjunction with the exhibition Tiffany Jaeyeon Shin: Universal Skin Salvation, the artist will give a performance lecture incorporating images and video to expand on thematics addressed within the show.
With K-beauty advertised as achieving the flesh of a Korean female subject devoid of her subjectivities, it becomes apparent that she is repurposed as technology for attaining desirable surface quality, one rendered as technically superior flesh. What skin are we seeking and looking at in K-beauty – one that emphasizes rehabilitation from war, narrative of assimilation in the U.S., and machinic visions of Asiatic femininity? Tiffany Jaeyeon Shin's performance lecture "Fleshing Out the Ghost: the Fetish, Desire, and Master in K-beauty" investigates K-beauty as a site to unpack its racialized and gendered imaginary of Korean flesh and the fetish that congeals from it. Shin examines how the Korean woman complicates instead of clarifies the distinction between the master and the fetish object and the haunting and the following pleasures that occur from "wearing" contaminated desires of otherness as second skin.
On view November 10 – December 16, 2018.
Tiffany Jaeyeon Shin: Universal Skin Salvation exhibition features a custom line of K-beauty products and a fully immersive sauna alongside new video, photo, and collage works. Visitors are invited to apply the beauty products and enter the sauna installation, absorbing small amounts of home-brewed lactic acid. For Shin, the active bacterial agent acts as a stand-in for bodily rehabilitation from the Korean War, and as an extension of the Korean "flesh" enlivened by biological matter.
Join Knockdown Center and BOMB Magazine for an evening celebrating Tiffany Jaeyeon Shin's exhibition Universal Skin Salvation — the artist's first large-scale solo exhibition featuring a custom line of K-beauty products and a fully immersive sauna. In the spirit of BOMB's interviews, Knockdown Center and BOMB host a conversation with artists Valery Jung Estabrook, Tiffany Jaeyeon Shin and scholar So-Rim Lee to discuss their respective practices, intersecting areas of research, and topics prompted by the works in the exhibition such as cultural possession, concepts of beauty and the cosmetic industry, and technology and management of the self.
Reception to follow in Knockdown Center's bar, the Ready Room.
Valery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation, Florida, and grew up on an organic Asian pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in Painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in Visual Art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including New York, Los Angeles, Lagos, Bilbao, and Melbourne. In 2018 she received the Gold AHL-T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Award, an annual award recognizing artists of Korean heritage in the United States. She currently resides in New Mexico.
So-Rim Lee is the 2018-19 Center for Korean Research-Academy of Korean Studies Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University. Lee researches on contemporary popular culture's complex embodiments of neoliberalism through performance studies and visual culture, with a focus on South Korea. Lee's doctoral dissertation, "Performing the Self: Cosmetic Surgery and the Political Economy of Beauty in Korea," weds historiography, cultural studies, media studies, and performance analysis to construe cosmetic surgery as a mode of performing one's subjectivity in contemporary Korea. Lee has previously written for New Theatre Quarterly, Performance Research, and Theatre Survey, and is a recipient of the Ric Weiland Humanities and Sciences Fellowship, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Dissertation Fellowship, and the Charlene Porras Graduate Scholar Award from the El Centro Chicano y Latino at Stanford University.

Do you ever have trouble sleeping? I don't know about you, but sometimes I wake up and my mind is already galloping at top speed.
Suddenly I go from soundly sleeping to full-on problem-solving mode. My thoughts race from one concern to the next. Then it picks up momentum and you start to reflect on the problem of not being able to sleep. That compounds the issue and generates stress…and more stress.
But wait a second. Wasn't I just asleep? How the hell did I end up down this rabbit hole? Can you relate?
It's a strange experience. You feel tired, you are tired, but your mind is keeping you awake like a toddler who refuses to go to bed. And it's frustrating, because you can't find the OFF switch as you stare wide-eyed at the ceiling.
"More than half of Americans lose sleep due to stress and/or anxiety. Between 40% and 60% of people over the age of 60 suffer from insomnia. And women are up to twice as likely to suffer from insomnia than men."
But there is good new for yogis and meditators. I've found that there is something close to a secret off switch. You may already know this. It's the equivalent of bribing that late-night toddler with a piece of candy laced with sleeping pixie dust.
Here's the trick. You just need to know how to use the power of distraction. These are two of my simple strategies for tricking your mind into distraction so you can fall asleep.
Savasana is always my first option when I find myself waltzing with the late night sleep thief. Removing my attention from my cunning mind, I start scanning my body from my toes to my crown.
I take my sweet time, making sure to relax and release every joint and every muscle. This is like a two-pronged attack on the sleep thief. First, it helps me to relax. Second, by finding another object for my attention besides my racing mind, I start to feel grounded again and the momentum of my meandering mind slows down.
That's one thing I've learned. When I deprive my problem-solving mind of attention, it loses steam. My racing nervous system slows. Before I know it, I've dropped back down into a deep healthy sleep.
This is my second stop on the late night insomnia circuit. If the body scan doesn't work, I need to be a little cleverer about distracting my mind. Here's what I do.
I think of specific objects—blue hammer, a yellow fire truck, a green wall, two copper pennies, a red wheelbarrow. And I keep on like that, just thinking about different random objects that are different colors.
I know this sounds kind of weird, but this is what I've found. Giving each object a little bit of specificity in your imagination—like a color—is the key to knocking your midnight mind off its stress-inducing race track.
One thing is for sure, if you just follow your mind as it chases its tail over and over again, you're actually going to feel like you just twirled around in circles for thirty minutes. But if you can aikido your mind into tracking random objects in your imagination, you're more likely to lead it over the blissful cliff of sleep.
Are these tips foolproof? Of course not, but they work for me about 80% of the time. So next time you find yourself in bed in the dark riding the late night carousel of insomnia, try these simple mindfulness tips and strategies to sleep better.

City Sewer Repair at W. Baltimore and Howard Streets Causes Partial Overnight Light RailLink Suspension of Service
Free Bus Bridge Will Transport Passengers between North Avenue and Camden Stops
BALTIMORE, MD (May 8, 2019) – The Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) will conduct emergency overnight repairs beginning tomorrow to fix a blocked sewer line at the intersection of W. Baltimore and Howard streets.

The Australian Wine States
Australia is a New World wine country with attitude! As diverse as it is intriguing, there's never been a more exciting time for the perception and interrogation of Australian Wine. A bad Aussie brush tainted most with flamboyantly obtuse examples of Chardonnay and Shiraz in the noughties, but FRET NOT! Unique terroir, typography and soil types are allowing a sense of individuality to prevail, as we're seeing wine production develop with an intrinsic edge by a passionate wine community full of attitude. With 5 states (South Australia, NSW, Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania) the Aussies are beginning to produce premium wines from a diverse range of varieties (over 100, did we mention?) and styles.
Key Production Regions: Hunter Valley, Orange
Vines were first planted here in 1791 brought by botanists on the First Fleet, and cultivation has continued to this day. The Hunter Valley has many iconic and ancient sites, particularly those planted to Shiraz. Today the region is still best known for its Shiraz and Semillon based wines. The style tends to be fairly unique for the Australian landscape, with many of the best reds resembling Burgundian Pinot Noir more so than classic Australian Shiraz. Semillon is produced in an extremely distinctive style, fermented in stainless steel and looking fairly neutral in youth. These wines develop in bottle over many decades, with the best showing a remarkable oak aged character and beautiful honeyed notes.
Our Favourites: Clonakilla always
Key Production Regions: Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Beechworth
The vignerons of Victoria have been busy crafting a reputation for world-class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. More and more there are plantings of other varieties such as Syrah and Tempranillo to produce beautiful cool-climate examples of these grapes. Victoria is home to some of Australia's most famous wineries, helped by their proximity to Melbourne. These include the likes of Giaconda, Mount Mary and Bass Philip. Diverse climates and diverse soil types makes Victoria an ideal production state, allowing for versatility and unique expressions of all types, spanning from light, fresh Prosecco through to distinctive and luscious Cabernet blends.
What about Mornington Peninsula?
Beloved for its pristine beaches and gloriously green hinterland just an hour's drive from Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula is also home to more than 50 boutique cellar doors and renowned Pinot Noir.
Our Favourites: By Farr and Koolong of course.
Key Production Regions: Huon Valley, Coal River Valley
Once solely famous for being the Apple Isle, Tasmania is currently one of the most exciting production areas for Australian wine. This represents the most southerly wine making outpost in Australia, and the climate is suitably extreme. Tasmania has a history of sparkling wine production with the likes of Arras and Jansz being world famous. More recently producers have focused on making extremely high quality still wines from these Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes.
Our Favourites: Tolpuddle Chardonnay is the one
Key Production Regions: Barossa, Eden and Clare Valleys, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra
Historically the most important production region for Australian wine, responsible for some of the most iconic and long lived wines ever made. South Australia is famous for its reds, largely produced from Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. There are also some of the oldest Grenache vines in the world planted here, in the sandy soils of the McLaren Vale. More recently there have been numerous younger producers in the Adelaide Hills and Basket Range pioneering the Natural Wine movement for Australia. Riesling also has a long and storied history, with German immigrants planting vines throughout the Eden and Clare Valleys.
Our Favourites: Grosset Hill Riesling and Mount Horrocks Nero D'Avola
Key Production Regions: Margaret River, Frankland River
Extremely isolated on the continent, the wine regions of Western Australia benefit from amazing growing conditions. Margaret River has a similar climate to Bordeaux, albeit with greater sunshine, and produces world class Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Further inland at Frankland River, some of Australia's best Riesling and Shiraz is produced. Most of the vineyards in WA are coastal, and benefit from the moderating influence of the ocean, meaning that they rarely experience poor vintage conditions!
Our Favourites: Cullen Diana Madeline Cabernet Sauvignon


"Divine grace is God acting in our life to accomplish what we cannot do on our own." What a great definition of grace. And… Willard is one of the few people with a right view of how we attain grace: "grace is not opposed to effort (our actions) but to earning (our attitude)." No cheap grace in that statement.
The Gospel of John reads, "For from his (Jesus) fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.

After celebrating with Court & family last night, I watched YES and the June game with Seattle. Maybe just 10 weeks ago - but there was discernible difference in the make up of this team. Let's consider for the youth - this is their first (Gley & Miggy) 2nd (Gary, & Judge) full season - Greg Bird has yet to play a season without injury time - Hicks usually hits the DL & platoons - that's half the starting lineup playing in more games than they've played in a season - minor league seasons are in playoffs. Maybe the longer season & the fact with so many early rainouts doubleheaders or consecutive days playing are taking a toll on them. Tonight we begin 3 with the Mariners - this weekend will give us a better of idea of what we can expect down the stretch. Even when/if Judge does return I'm not going to expect too much from him in production.

QVC Provides Update on Rocky Mount, N.C. Facility Fire Team Member & Community Support Efforts
December 28, 2021: QVC provided the following update related to the fire at its Rocky Mount, N.C. distribution facility.
In the wake of the fire at our Rocky Mount fulfillment center, we have mobilized across our business to support our Rocky Mount teams impacted by this tragic event. QVC is still assessing the impact of the fire and, while we haven't made any long-term decisions about the site, we already know the building will be closed for an extended period and there will not be work there for the team for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we have announced the following to our Rocky Mount team members:
· We have extended shutdown pay for Rocky Mount team members through February 1, 2022 (a small number may have extended transition schedules, depending on departmental needs).
· After February 1, applicable separation benefits will begin for impacted team members.
o All team members will be eligible to receive at least four weeks of separation pay or a lump sum equivalent.
o Team members enrolled in one of our benefits plans will have continued coverage until the end of February and then would be eligible for COBRA coverage.
· We will provide career transition services to impacted team members, including potential internal roles with the company in other locations as well as partnerships through local organizations for additional job opportunities, financial education, interview training, resume writing support, and job search training.
· We will leverage our Team Member Relief Fund to support impacted team members and will ensure that $1 million is in this fund. This fund provides financial grants to team members affected by disasters.
· The Rocky Mount community is important to us and our team members. QVC is donating $100,000 to the Edgecombe - Rocky Mount Employees Assistance Fund (created by United Way Tar River, Carolinas Gateway Partnership, and the Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce) and will be making a donation to many of the first responder organizations that helped fight the fire.
· We join our Rocky Mount colleagues in mourning the loss of Kevon Ricks, our contractor colleague who lost his life in the fire.
The above actions are in addition to a $500 emergency allowance provided last week to every Rocky Mount team member to help cover miscellaneous expenses associated with this tragedy. We also set-up an alternate site for team members to gather in-person and meet with our People team and leaders for one-on-one support.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the first responders and state and local authorities for their support and commitment to the Rocky Mount community during this difficult time. We also wish to thank the many team members from across our company who are or have been onsite in North Carolina to assist our local leaders and colleagues in this crisis. Finally, we share our appreciation to our QVC customers, community members, and team members worldwide for the many messages of care and concern since the fire.
Note - All benefits are for team members employed directly by QVC. Our contractor colleagues will work with their employers for any next steps.

To make the best impression, it is important to have your business plan checked over by a professional who has experience editing business documents. Business editing can make your plan sound professional, which is important if you will be showing it to potential investors. You can also use a business editing service to make sure your business plan is reviewed properly. Here is information about writing a business plan and working with an editor to polish it.
Download a business plan template. Although parts of the template may not apply to your business, it can provide a good starting point in the process. Business plan templates can be found in numerous places online including the U.S. Small Business Administration website.
Decide on your business plan's objective. The purpose of your business plan will determine what type of information needs to be included. If you are using your business plan to raise capital, for example, then you will need to include financial information about your business.
Executive Summary – This is the first page of your business plan and serves to summarize the entire document. It is the most important part of your business plan because it needs to capture the attention of your target audience and convince them to keep reading.
Market Analysis – Information about your company's industry, your competition, your target market, and any conclusions you draw from your analysis of the market goes in this section.
Company Description – In this section, give a detailed analysis of your business and how all parts of the company will work together to achieve the company's objective.
Organization and Management – Information about the company's organizational structure and top-level managers goes in this section.
Marketing and Sales Management – It is important for you and your investors to know how you will attract and keep customers. Provide a detailed marketing strategy in this section of the plan.
Service or Product Line – Write about the products and services the company offers. Emphasize the benefits of those products and services to potential customers and how they are better than the competition.
Funding Request – If you are looking for funding, this is the part of the business plan where you detail the amount of money you need and how it will be used to build your business.
Financial Information – This section should detail the amount of money you are expecting to make based on your analysis of the industry. If your business is already established, then you will need to provide historical data about your company's performance. New companies will need to provide forecasts about their expected performance over the next five years.
Appendix – This section is for supplementary information that may be given on an as-needed basis. Items that may go in this section include a credit report, resumes of key personnel, letters of reference, market studies, licenses and permits, contracts, and product pictures.
After you complete your business plan, hire someone with experience editing business documents to look it over. Be certain to communicate your objective to the editor, so they can mold the plan to support your goal. When you receive your business plan back from the person, read it over carefully to make sure it meets your needs. It may be helpful to have a neutral party read the business plan and provide feedback about whether it does the job you want it to do or needs to go back for more business editing.

Melbourne Heart FC Head Coach John Aloisi acknowledges that tomorrow's clash against Adelaide United will be a 'big challenge', but believes his team has the firepower to hurt Josep Gombau's side.
Melbourne Heart FC Head Coach John Aloisi acknowledges that tomorrow-s clash against Adelaide United will be a 'big challenge-, but believes his team has the firepower to hurt Josep Gombau-s side.
In what is effectively a six-pointer in Round 8 of the Hyundai A-League at AAMI Park, Aloisi-s side could leap off the basement of the ladder with a win over the Reds, despite the absence of captain Harry Kewell.
Gombau-s side has shown promise and is one of the league-s most effective teams in terms of passing accuracy and possession, but has not enjoyed positive results recently.
"It-s a big challenge; they-re in a similar position to us; they-ve only won one game and that was the first game of the season," Aloisi said.
"But they-re a side that keep the ball very well so we know it-s going to be a tough game.
"We-ve worked on how we can hurt them this week and also how we can stop them from hurting us.
Aloisi said his side remained positive and confident ahead of Adelaide-s visit.
"We-re confident, we-re very confident we can get the result," Aloisi said.
"We think we-ve got players that can hurt them, but we have to make sure that we-re focussed the whole game, especially defensively.
"They are a side that can keep the ball for long periods and if you-re out of position they can hurt you.
Aloisi said Kewell will not be risked against the Reds tomorrow, despite the fact Kewell spent a gruelling week on the track undergoing rehabilitation to an ankle injury.
"We gave Harry a good test yesterday to see if he could play or to see if he could at least be involved and he didn-t pull through it well," Aloisi said.
"It-s disappointing for him, disappointing for us, but we-ve got enough players that we think can still do a job for us and it-s up to the other players to step up in Harry-s absence.
"Harry did everything right to try to push to play this week, so hopefully he-ll be right next week.
Aloisi said Michael Mifsud could be handed a start after featuring off the bench last week.
"There will be a few changes - I won-t go into too much detail - but Michael Mifsud will come back in, and we-ll see with a couple of others.
Tomorrow-s match kicks off at 5pm at AAMI Park.


If your mouth and teeth have been bothering you, it is time for you to head to your local emergency dentist in Beaumont to receive care. Dental emergencies can come up at any point in time and they even occur to those patients who are in good oral health. You never know just when an emergency might occur and it is important that you find the care you need when you need it. Your dental emergency can cause pain that starts out as mild and then gradually turns into a severe situation or you may experience an emergency that is severe from the moment it happens.
There are home remedies that you can put into place to help ease the pain, but they will never fully take the pain away and you will still need to visit a dentist.

In addition to 24-hour dentists, you will find Beaumont walk-in clinics and after hour facilities.
Many of the standard dental offices in the Beaumont area are only open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm, which can be quite inconvenient, especially if you work during that time or you are unable to take time off work. Unfortunately, tooth pain will not stop just because you cannot get into your dentist's office and you will still have to deal with the pain and agony. Continued pain can lead to a lesser quality of life and may even limit how much social time you can commit to.

A Beaumont emergency dentist is just like your general dentist's office and your appointment and the process will seem very similar to each other. Before you head into the office, you should inquire about the cost of the services. This is important for two reasons. First, you need to know what you may need to pay. Payment is often expected either before treatment is rendered or the moment after it is rendered. Secondly, you need to know what payment methods are accepted, if your insurance will pay for any of it, and what you can expect with the entire payment process. Being prepared will help the appointment go a lot smoother.
When you arrive in the office, if it is your first time there, you will need to fill out paperwork, which can take about 10 to 15 minutes. This paperwork will ask you questions about your medical and dental health. This information will also allow the dentist to be able to treat you better.
If you have dental anxiety or suffer from any allergies, you should alert the dentist and staff so that they can make the proper accommodations for you. Some dental offices offer sedation options to patients who may fear the dentist or are afraid of dental procedures.
If you are experiencing any type of tooth pain right now, you may be ready to yank out your tooth and end all of the pain, but this is not a feasible way to do it. There are different emergency dental conditions that can arise and some of them take time to form such as tooth decay, whereas others will develop overnight such as a dental abscess.
Whether your tooth was just knocked out or you have been battling a toothache for months, you need to receive care for it. Delayed care can mean that the tooth decay or infection spreads in your mouth.
Every dental emergency that arises needs to be looked at by a trained professional dentist to ensure you receive the care you need. Emergency dentists in Beaumont are able to provide you with the procedures needed to eliminate the pain you feel.
Reading any of the information provided to you on emergencydentistsusa.com is not meant to be a substitute for the advice given to you by a trained medical professional. You should use this site for informational purposes only. If you are experiencing any of the emergencies listed below, you should call your local Beaumont emergency dentist to receive immediate care.
Fillings may fall out of your tooth is you eat a sticky food such as candy or if the structure of the tooth is compromised. When this happens, the filling falls out, leaving a hole where it once was. To handle this type of a situation, you should place a piece of sugar-free gum into the hole or use a dental cement in place of the gum. If you can recover the filling, it is a good idea to do so and save it until your appointment.
If you have lost a filling or you notice that yours may be loose, it is time to schedule an appointment to see your local Beaumont urgent care dentist.
A dental abscess is a serious dental emergency and it needs to be handled swiftly to prevent the spread of infection. Abscesses appear in your mouth as a pimple-like bump on the gums and can be very painful. It is important that you do not try to drain them on your own, as this can spread the infection and cause more complications.
If you have a dental abscess, you should rinse your mouth out with a warm saltwater solution and get in touch with your local Beaumont emergency dentist immediately to receive the dental care that you need.
If you have lost the crown to your tooth, you want to try to recover it to prevent choking. Once you have it in hand, you have a couple of options. You can treat the tooth with clove oil, if it is painful or causing you a lot of sensitivity. The second option is to place some dental cement into the crown and place it back over your tooth. If you choose to put the crown back onto your tooth, do not force it, as this can cause more problems.
If your crown has come off of your tooth, it is important that you quickly follow up with a Beaumont emergency dentist.
Emergency tooth extractions may be needed when the integrity of your tooth is not great or when other treatment methods will not work. Dentists like to try and save your tooth before they recommend an extraction. Some of the alternative treatments include fillings, crowns, root canals, and similar. When these options will not help support the tooth, then the tooth may need to be extracted. Sometimes there are dental conditions that require an emergency extraction such as a wisdom tooth impaction.
It is important to note that not all conditions need to have an emergency extraction and not all dental conditions are an emergency. If you think you have an emergency, you should contact your local Beaumont emergency dentist. Tooth extractions may be recommended when you have impacted teeth, a broken tooth, severe tooth decay, or a serious infection.
If you have extreme pain in your mouth or you are suffering from a toothache, you may think that you need to head to the emergency room. Many patients do this, but it is not always the correct place to go. The reason behind this is because the emergency room treats medical conditions and they are not equipped to treat dental problems. If you do happen to go to the ER, they may prescribe you medication or a pain reliever until you can see your dentist.
In an emergency situation, you would be best served at a Beaumont emergency dental office. These dentists work around the clock to provide emergency care and they have the tools and equipment needed to relieve you of the pain you feel.
It is important that you do head to the ER in situations where you may need medical care. For example, you should go to the ER if you sustain head trauma, have a broken jaw, or have been involved in an accident.

We are learning to write; a story with a beginning, middle and end, to understand more about the features of stories, to write interesting sentences by adding an adjective and to use capital letters and full stops to show meaning. We are also learning to spell Phase 3 tricky words correctly.
We come back to school on our first day after the Easter holidays to a Fairy-tale tea party. We wear our very best fairy-tale costumes and talk about the costumes we are wearing and what happens to the characters.
We have a lovely time engaging in a variety of activities linked to fairy-tales and listen to lots of exciting stories. We talk about the question 'Can I become an Author?' and explore what an author does.
We hold a Mad Hatter's Tea Party and enjoy yummy biscuits and 'tea' from a tea pot as we share the stories we already knew.
The next day we find a beautiful, shiny, sparkly shoe on a glittery cushion. Who could the shoe belong to? Lots of teachers and children try it on... Then we find a magical scroll asking for help to find the owner of the shoe signed by a prince.
We decide that we want to help the prince to find the princess who the shoe fits. We look everywhere and make 'Wanted' posters to help find her. It is so much fun being detectives looking for clues. We persevere finding the owner!
We decide the character was Cinderella and enjoy listening to the Cinderella story and the events. We think that if we spotted a pumpkin or a mouse, we might find her.
We learn the story of Cinderella using Kung Fu Punctuation and actions to help us. We help our teacher to make a story map to help us write our own Cinderella story.
We use story language like 'Once upon a time' and 'They lived happily ever after'.
Every day, during our topic time, we practise writing the Cinderella story using these sentence starers and the story map to help us. We say our sentence aloud, count the words in the sentence, use our phonic knowledge to sound out the words and spell some tricky words correctly. We have to make sure we have finger spaces too. Some of us use capital letters and full stops. We write the whole story and are super proud of our work.
As we become more familiar with story structures and story language we enjoy making our own stories.
The children explore stories further to help them with their own story ideas. We think of all the characters we know and can use in our own stories. We think of all the different settings and describe them. Then we learn more about events, including problems in stories and how they are solved. We use the sentence starters again to write our own stories.
At the end of our topic all the Reception children can proudly say, "Yes we can be authors!"
Now we can write a story using sentence starters to write a beginning, middle and end. We understand more about the features of stories and some of us are learning to write interesting sentences by adding an adjective. We are growing in confidence to use capital letters and full stops to show meaning. We can spell Phase 3 tricky words correctly.


Ever have someone be kind to you when you deserved the worst?
I was in a hurry; when was I not! I used to think I was born stuck in high gear. It's not that anything I did was that important, but I ran around as if it is!
Who knows where I was going on that day, but I hopped in my little black car, shoved my stick shift into reverse, floored the gas…and slammed right into a huge mulch pile. It's just mulch, right? No big deal? I wish. There, for the entire world to see was a new crack in my bummer.
You know what I was most worried about? Not the cost of the repair. Not the expense of my newly raised insurance bill. I was really concerned about my husband's reaction. I just knew that he was going to be so furious. If not that, he'd be really disappointed in me.
I have to admit, I delayed a little bit telling him. I hate to deliver bad news! But when I finally did, do you know what he did?
Oh my! I really didn't see that coming! What I thought I had coming was what I deserved; to be yelled at for always going too fast. Greg had all the reason in the world to lose his temper, but he didn't. Instead, he gave me what I didn't deserve – mercy. He totally demonstrated the love of Jesus. Love gave what I didn't deserve.
Friends, we deserve from God a lot more than being yelled at! For the sins that we have committed, think about committing and will commit tomorrow, we deserve death. Instead, he looks at us with eyes of mercy, forgives us our sins and gives us a new life with him. That is true love! Love gave what I didn't deserve.
Who in your life needs mercy today? The new girl at work? Your child climbing the walls on Christmas break? Your husband and the honey-do list you gave him before Thanksgiving? Soak in the truth of God's mercy towards you today and allow some of that some mercy to spill out around those around you today!
Pretty crazy that I had written this to post today. Yesterday, my girls had a car accident in a parking lot Christmas shopping. Another opportunity for Greg to administer grace…and that he did!
Thanks for this timely devotional. It's just what I needed to hear this morning!
What a timely message! (no pun intended.) I'm not always in high gear, but my impatience is. I need to show a lot more mercy, because I'm certainly not perfect. How could I expect people to be patient with me if I'm not with them? I thank you for all of your insights and wish you a very Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much for the reminder. My husband has been out of work for a couple of months now and i find myself coming down hard on him . for noit providing for us, for not finishing college and affecting all our income, for being here all day, everyday because of being unemployed. Instead he needs mercy more than anything else right now, to see His love thru me, to be prayed for, lifted up. thanks for the reminder.
What a sweet, sweet reminder. God knew I needed to hear this tonight! Thank you.

The state's total unemployment rate dropped to 4.2 percent in August, the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development said.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics' preliminary job estimates indicate Massachusetts added 10,800 jobs in August. Over the month, the private sector added 9,900 jobs as gains occurred in Professional, Scientific, and Business Services; Other Services; Information; Construction; and Manufacturing. The July estimate was revised to a gain of 2,500 jobs.
From August 2016 to August 2017, BLS estimates Massachusetts has added 57,400 jobs.
The August unemployment rate was two-tenths of a percentage point lower than the national rate of 4.4 percent reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"Massachusetts has gained 57,400 jobs in the last year, with much of that growth concentrated in key economic sectors like Health, Education, Professional, Business, and Scientific services. While these job gains, alongside a low unemployment rate, are signs of a strong economy in the Commonwealth, skills gaps and labor market pressures persist. That is why our workforce development agencies and partners continue to focus on matching available workers with the training and resources they need to connect to high demand jobs," Labor and Workforce Development Secretary Rosalin Acosta said.
The labor force decreased by 17,200 from 3,697,700 in July, as 10,700 fewer residents were employed and 6,500 fewer residents were unemployed over the month.
Over the year, the state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased eight-tenths of a percentage point from 3.4 percent in August 2016. There were 31,300 more unemployed residents over the year compared to August 2016.
The state's labor force participation rate – the total number of residents 16 or older who worked or were unemployed and actively sought work in the last four weeks – decreased three-tenths of a percentage point to 66.1 percent over the month. The labor force participation rate over the year has increased 1.3 percent compared to August 2016.

Makinde, Nasko emerge PDP gubernatorial candidates in Oyo, Niger
Seyi Makinde has emerged as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 gubernatorial election in Oyo state.
Mr Makinde, who contested with one other aspirant, Ayo Adeseun, scored 2,772 votes to secure the PDP ticket while the second contestant scored 21 votes.
Mr Adeseun had earlier called for the cancellation of the primary election on the ground that the authentic list of delegates for the primary had been tampered with.
He alleged that the party's primary electoral committee had inserted names of some people that were not genuine delegates into the list.
He left the venue of the primary at the Liberty Stadium Ibadan in annoyance before the commencement of the exercise.
Mr Makinde, in his acceptance speech, pledged to revive the economy of the state and work on policies that would bring rapid development to the state.
He sought for the support of all party members and urged them to work towards the success of the party during the forthcoming general elections.
The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) reports that the exercise was witnessed by a representative of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), A A Ariyo and members of the National officers of the party.
In Minna, PDP governorship candidate in the 2015 general election in Niger, Umar Nasko, re-emerged the winner of the party's primary for the 2019 general election.
He beat former Nigeria envoy to South Africa, Ahmed Ibeto, and four others in a well organised and peaceful primary attended by 2,809 party delegates from the 25 local government areas across the state.
Others who contested the primary with him were Umar Dogonkoli, Hannafi Sudan and Aminu Baka.

UAE social media was abuzz last night, with people taking to Twitter, Facebook and even asking on Instastories if others had felt earthquake tremors in the country.
Many had, as an earthquake with a devastating magnitude of 7.3 occured on Iran-Iraq border late Sunday, November 12, killing 210 people and injuring 1,700 in the mountainous region of Iran alone, Iranian state media said according to Khaleej Times.
Tremors from the earthquake were felt as far as Turkey's southeastern city of Diyarbakir. UAE residents in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Al Ain also felt tremors according to social media posts.
The earthquake's worst damage appears to have occured in Iran's western Kermanshah province, which sits in the Zagros Mountains that divide Iran and Iraq.
Did you feel the tremors? Let us know in the comments below!


Walking down the salad dressing aisle at the supermarket, you'll see a growing number of brands with a range of styles and flavors. It's no surprise.

Division of Science (Berks)
We present a theoretical model and database designed to provide analysis of astrophysical X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS). The model includes spherical wave corrections and multiple-scattering contributions to the modification of the X-ray absorption coefficient. The model and database provide the basis for the astrophysical XAFS analysis (AXA) tool, which may be used to analyze properties of interstellar grains and molecules from high-resolution X-ray spectra expected to be observed by future satellite missions (e.g., the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility).

Across England and Wales in the year 2017–18, the number of reported cases of rape in which a charge was brought dropped by over 23%, with less than a third of prosecuted cases resulting in a conviction (CPS, 2018). This, despite an increase in the number of sexual offences reported (ONS, 2018), against a backdrop where rape nevertheless remains vastly underreported. Expectations around gender-appropriate behaviour, mistrust of women, and the resulting judgement faced by women who choose to report, undoubtedly have their part to play in these statistics. It has long been noted that women who experience sexual violence have their ordeals reproduced and legitimated through interpretative discursive devices that serve to rationalise and normalise the incident(s). It has been widely recognised that the police interview is the most crucial link in the chain in terms of addressing issues of attrition and for ensuring fair treatment for victims. Drawing on investigative interviews with female rape victims, this chapter explores the ways in which victims' accounts are constrained by the discursive resources available to the narrators. It examines the linguistic structures through which the criminal justice system works against women, demonstrating the subtle ways in which sexist discourses are manifested in these interactions.

COALMONT, B. C. 4  THE NICOLA VALLEY NEWS  "Friday, ' November 3,  1811  We have just  received   a new  shipment  of  pipes  consisting of the well known  B B B and Peterson.  Also a nice selection of cheaper lines from which to  choose.  A. F. RANKINE  Druggists.  MERRITT, B. C.^  J. W. Powers, of Canford, was  in town yesterday purchasing  supplies for his camp six miles  from Canford. Mr. Powers has  a contract for the cutting arid  delivering; of 6,000,000 feet of  timber to the White Pine Lumber Co., at their mill near Canford.      .  LOCAL AND DISTRICT  Del King went up to Kamloops  the first of the week.  Thos. Smith Provincial constable at Spence's Bridge was, in  town to-day.  J. A. Maughan has opened law  offices on Quilchena avenue sext  door to A. F.yRankine's drug  store. Mr. Maughan comes  from Victoria, where he has beeri  practising for the past year.   ;��*  . The directors of the Princeton  Coal and Land company, which  has for some time past been  shipping coal from its mines at  Princeton, are stated to have  authorised an expenditure of  about $100,000 to provide coal  screening arid picking- plant for  its colliery there.  A. J. Menzies has finished  threshing throughout the Valley  and stored his outfit for the  season.  A. Jackson was in Kamloops  this week in attendance at the  county court: which was held  there. .  Miss Mary McDonald of Spokane, Wash., is spending a short  vacation in town visiting her  brother   Robt.    McDonald.  Chas. Howse, A. N. B. Rogers  and A. Little motored to Greenwood on Sunday last and spent  Thanksgiving day in the copper  metropolis. They returned home  on Tuesday.  T. Heslop, Nicola, secretary of  the Nicola Valley Agricultoral  and Horticultural Association';  was in town yesterday attending  a meeting of the directors of the  above association.r        y  On Wednesday morning a  party composed of Frank Barnes,  D. Lund and Gus Brolin left for  the Aspen Grove district on a  week's hunting trip.  D. S. Ponsford is in town this  week on a hotel advertising campaign. The coast evidently regards Merritt as good hunting.  Doctor T. V. Curtin returned  on Tuesday from a holiday trip'  to the coast. The genial doc  looks in the pink of condition after his visit and (mark it well)  reports no rain in the wet belt  just now.  Mayor Isaac Eastwood came  back to his own again early this  week after a recuperative spell  iat Harrison Hotl Springs. He  took the usual morning dose along  with the other recuperants, and  says the water scarcely seems so  bitter as of yore, but anyway  he's mighty glad to be back at  the old stand keeping things  along for the Valley of Eternal  Sunshine.  Alec Bothwell, late of this burg  was in town yesterday from Nicola where he reports business in  good shape all round. Alec  quaintly claims direct descent  from the original Dair on the  ground that when Adam lost his  job the angel Gabriel took the  message back that "they were  bothwell."   Next please.  There was only one case up  this week before Police Magistrate Morgan. Anthine Spachan  (Indian) was fined $5 and costs  for being drunk.  Jack Dorais, late a partner in  the White restaurant at Lytton,  returned here on Saturday's train  and expects to go on to Coalmont  in a few days.  Sid G. Morgan, of the Nicola  Valley Pine Lumber company at  Canford was in the city for a few  days this week. Sid is a good  all-round sport and was a double  winner at Coutlee last Saturday.  This week the Nicola Valley  Meat Market bought two steers  from Jos. Castillion which tipped  the scales at a little over two  tons. ' These are the two largest  beef animals ever brought into  Merritt. The weights being respectively 2020 and 1995.  C. L. Betterton, of the Better-  ton, Fraser Land Co., owning  large tracts of farming and  grazing lands in the Aspen  Grove district, was in town on  Saturday last on his way home  Victoria, from an, inspection of  their property in. the above  mentioned district." ; .  Alex Lucas, M. P. P., was in  town this week accompanied  by Mrs. Lucas. Another visitor  to the valley was Dan Sutherland, government road inspector,  Miss Bertha McGoran who has  been connected with the staff of  the Nicola Valley Meat.Market  for the past year as accountant,  has resigned her position with  the above mentioned firm and  will take up the work in a similar  capacity in the office of her  father at the Merritt Lumber  Yards.  The. work of opening a coal  mine near the Tulameen river  several miles above Princeton,  which the Princeton Collieries,  Ltd., of Vancouver, commenced  during the summer, has, we are  informed, been suspended for  the present.  H. C. Meeker, manager of the  White Pine Lumber Co. at Canford came up on Wednesday, to  meet Alex'Lucas, M. P. P. while  the latter gentleman was in the  city. H. C. Meeker stated that  the spur line into the mill was  now completed and that his company would start shipping to the  prairie at once.  Miss Seville entertained a nurn-  ber of her young friends at her  home on Nicola avenue on Tuesday last. Singing, recitations,  games, etc., enlivened the evening until eleven o'clock when a  light luncheon was served by the  hostrss, after which a dance was  given." Those present were Misses Sherwood Cousins, McNeil,  Gaveline, and Messrs Stevenson  McKenzie, Cunningham Simpson  Cooper and Perkins. _  Reports from the East contain  glowing'accounts of the achievements of Credential," ,Mr. T, J.  Smith's champion juniper"which  is how appearing in Eastern centres on his" way back.from the  Olympic Horse Show in London,  England, where he succeeded in  carrying off quite a number of  blue ribbons.; At the big exhibition at Toronto, Credential won  three prizes, two of them firsts.  At Coburg he won three firsts,  and at London, Ont., he won the  high jump easily, clearing 7 feet  1 inch. Last week at the Welland  show he eclipsed that "mark by  going over a 7 foot 3 inch jump.  Mr. Smith will bring Credential  back to the coast-shortly and he  will again be.entered in the annual exhibition of the Vancouver Horse Show Association,  which will be held next April.���  Saturday Sunset.

The latest baby to be launched  on a journalistic world in the  province is the Ladysmith Signal. The christening ceremony  was performed last week with  unqualified success, and the new  arrival is a four-page affair well  printed and carrying quite a few  local advertisements. Another  star in the journalistic firmament  nearer home is due to appear  before Noel.  A big crowd assembled in the  Brunswick pool room last Friday  evening to witness the draw for  Joe Holler's horse. The 11th  ticket drawn out of the bag  proved to be the winner, the  number of the winning ticket  was 20, and the fortunate holder  Charles Graham, superintendent  of the Nicola Valley Coal & Coke  company. J. S. Ellis and F. A.  Reid officiated as tellers at the  draw.  A very successful dance was  pulled off in Menzies' hall on  Hallowe'en and was largely attended. There were seen J pirouetting in the dance gay  Pierrots and Pierrettes, Jeariots  and Jearinettes, dusky ; Indian  maidens and Big Chiefs with the  war-paint on, old English courtier and "ladyesfaire''- crowned  with powder and peruke, medieval knights on gallant errand  bent, and innumerable other  characters grotesqe and sublime.  For the most attractive and  unique costume in the ladies'  division Mrs. Ruark carried off  the honors, while among the  men Homer Darknell's representation of a Fiji islander took the  palm. Refreshments were  served at midnight and. the  dance broke up at 2>30.  Wm. Cooper left*'today on a  business trip to Victoria. He  will return oh Tuesday.  WHERE'S THAT CUP?  The Nicola Valley championship football cup presented by  R. P. Rithet for annual competition among local "clubs, final  possession only to?be obtained  after three successive wins by  any one club, was it appears captured by Middlesboro two seasons  ago, and since then although the  Merritt organisation has sent in  challenges to the holders no further, match has been arranged.  Alec Hongan representing the  local club claims that - some two  or three months ago he issued a  direct challenge to' Middlesboro  through the city papers which  has not been taken up. The  Merritt players are" "getting sore  and inquiring who are. the present rightful owners of the trophy, the challengers or the team  which carried it off two years  back and apparently decline to  make a future game.  Itis safeTo say that-the^Mid^  dlesboro secretary will be the  recipient of a written challenge  from Merritt within the next  few days, and should they decline acceptance or ignore the  defi the city organisation intends  taking the necessary steps to reclaim the cup by default and  again put it in the open field for  competition.
