Washington: President Donald Trump said on Friday that a watchdog's report into the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe is a "total disaster" for former FBI director James Comey and the agency itself. "The IG Report is a total disaster for Comey, his minions and sadly, the FBI," Trump tweeted in his first public comment on the Justice Department inspector general report, which was released on Thursday.
"Comey will now officially go down as the worst leader, by far, in the history of the FBI. I did a great service to the people in firing him. Good Instincts," Trump added.

7-day average for new cases, hospitalizations reach high marks for fall COVID-19 surge
The seven-day average for daily coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and the percent of tests that are positive in Delaware — metrics officials rely heavily on to gauge the spread of the virus — each reached high marks for the fall surge on Sunday.
Delaware reported 591 new cases on Sunday, the second-most reported in a single day. The rolling seven-day average for new cases, which officials use to help account for variance in how the data is reported, increased to an all-time high of 483.6.
According to the state's latest data, which reflects the virus's spread as of 6 p.m. Saturday, there were 211 people hospitalized. That's the most hospitalizations Delaware has reported since May 23.
As more tests are conducted across the state around the Thanksgiving holiday, the seven-day average for the percent of tests that are positive is still increasing, showing that the latest case surge is not purely a product of more tests.
COVID-19 IN DELAWARE: DEMA director, a regular at Carney's coronavirus press conferences, tests positive for COVID-19
The seven-day average for the percent of tests that are positive through Thursday (there is a two-day lag in testing data) is 6%, the highest it's been since early June.
Top federal health officials on Sunday forecast a post-Thanksgiving spike in coronavirus infections and deaths, a surge local officials have feared for several weeks. It's too early to tell whether or to what degree the holiday impacted the spread of the virus.
Dr. Deborah L. Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation" from Selbyville and said Thanksgiving travelers "have to assume that you were exposed and you became infected and you really need to get tested in the next week."

Delaware offered a number of pop-up testing sites this past week, in addition to its permanent testing operations. On Sunday, the line to get tested at a walk-up site at William Penn High School near New Castle extended beyond the school's parking lot onto Route 141, resulting in about an hour wait.
Data reported this weekend reveals a significant surge in tests conducted in the days preceding Thanksgiving, when travelers were also advised to get tested. In the week before Thanksgiving, Delaware tested an average of 6,861 people per day.
The day before Thanksgiving, Delaware recorded 10,634 tests, the second-most in a single day.
The number of cases in Delaware has been increasing since mid-September, but has particularly spiked in the last month. Over the last 30 days, the seven-day average for new cases has increased by 211%.
VACCINE: Delaware health care workers could begin receiving COVID-19 vaccines in early December
In that time, the number of hospitalizations has increased by 137%. A spike in hospitalizations has typically come roughly two weeks after a spike in cases, indicating that even if case increases halted altogether, hospitalizations could continue to rise for several days.
Delaware peaked at 337 hospitalizations on April 27. They hit a low of 29 on Aug. 16.
The number of coronavirus-related deaths, another lagging indicator, is also increasing. Delaware on Sunday reported seven new deaths, raising the state's death toll to 770.
CONTACT TRACING: Delaware's contact tracing efforts under significant strain as positive cases spike
Delaware's school reopening guidance hinges on three metrics: new cases rate, percent of tests that are positive and average daily hospitalizations.
For more than a month, the new cases rate has been in the "red zone," the most severe of three zones denoting significant community spread. If either of the other figures enter the "red zone," schools would be closed under the state's guidance.

I dig tumbling as a metaphor for sex. It has a nice end over end quality – it has a rolling, a sense of movement. Especially as a metaphor for a deflowering (itself a metaphor, of course.) As a metaphor for a first sexual encounter, tumbling has a less intrusive quality than most. Deflowering, as nice as it might sound, is actually a little violent in its cutting off of a flower from a plant.
I feel like all the images tend to come from a man's perspective – what it's like to thrust one's self in to a place where no one has been before. Tumbled, for me, while it does have a falling magic in it, is somehow softer – more pleasurable, more mental, perhaps – as tumbling with someone requires a togetherness – an actual coupling instead of a single thrusting actor.
This is curious. So much of Shakespeare performance features single thrusting actors. Coincidence?

Nice App needs more back issues and to not store archives
Really like the App especially front covers and being able to click to get to certain articles. But really wish the archive issues did not take up HDD space and could be deleted and re download. My biggest bugbear is needs more back issues though! I was the Ferrrari F355 issue and would give money for it so please make it available.
Where has the interactivity gone?
Not generally a reviewer, but wanted to highlight this to the Edge/Future Mag. I've been collecting Edge since the 90s, during the days of Sega Dreamcast.
I have subscribed to the digital version for 3yrs now and of recent did not read the 2017 issues due to my iPad mini 2 screen cracking. Recently I had picked up the iPad mini 4 and going back to reading the back issues especially connecting the articles based on the games I have played on my PS4, FFXV, Horizon Zero Dawn and many reviewed on these back issues.
I was very surprised to see the interactivity of the digital print disappearing. The e-mag is now just a plain old side to side kindle page turner, as suppose to the bench mark of what a great e-mag was supposed to be and why I was blown away and transition to digital version 3 years back.
Where were the little pop up comments, supposed vertical scrolling to the page, enjoyable small animations. All I see in recent issues are a button on gallery and a video. The UX of the e-mag has tunes bland, whilst the article is still top notch, it is now different from reading an article on a webpage, with the additional zoom in and out for the text on a iPad.
I hope to see the interactive design come back in 2018, to what makes this digital version, where I once benchmark all digital mag to what is should be.
So disappointing, and still no update
Going from a fantastic interactive magazine to this is devastating. A huge step backwards on all accounts. Once a great example of how digital literature should be done, now has downgraded all selling points to a that'll do standard. If we wanted what is now being given we'd of gone for a printed subscription as edge magazine has always out shined others on quality and attention to detail, even down to the quality of the paper. This new version lacks any of this. Just pdf's of what is printed, lazy work from future publishing.
Content from the writers is still second to none, but execution on delivery is abysmal in comparison to previous versions.
Damaging to the brand of what is an extremely well respected magazine.
6 Months on from writing this review nothing has changed.. sad to see the readers are not being listened too.. with a heavy heart I am cancelling my subscription and switching back to physical copies. Such a shame as loved having all my copies in one place without taking up space and prior editions having the class to impress friends with what the future of the medium looks like. Looks like this goal to innovate what literature is to become has been abandoned as well as its readers.

The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA), a social science research center out of Georgetown University, recently released a survey in which bishops shared how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the Catholic Church in their dioceses, and what the future may hold as the effects of the pandemic continue.
Fr. Paul Sullins, Senior Research Associate at The Ruth Institute, stopped by The Drew Mariani Show™ to discuss the survey, and his perspective on the effects of the pandemic.
The survey, Ministry in the Midst of Pandemic: A Survey of Bishops, included the responses of 116 bishops, and Fr. Sullins expressed his gratitude to the bishops for taking the time to fill out the survey so that the faithful can be more informed.
"These dear bishops have been hit hard by this pandemic," Fr. Sullins said. "God bless them. Nothing in their preparation, their seminary, or their experience would have prepared them for a global pandemic and orders to shut down churches in some instances, and severely restrict Masses in others."
In describing the survey, CARA asked the question, "After taking such a hard hit financially, how can U.S. bishops help parishes be "field hospitals" for the sick during a time of so much need?"
On this question, Fr. Sullins pointed out, "The pandemic is not an interruption to our ministry. It is our ministry. It is up to us to figure out how to bring Christ into the midst of this time of fear, disruption, and difficulties for many people."
A large percentage of bishops indicated in the survey that they are considering closing at least one school or parish as a result of the financial impacts of the pandemic. Closing and/or merging parishes and schools is a difficult choice that many bishops have to wrestle with even in more normal times. But the effects of the COVID crisis may speed up the closure of parishes and schools that are on financially shaky ground.
"We are in a long-term trend of closing parishes in this country," Fr. Sullins pointed out. "I think it is a blessing to the Church to have bishops who are going to face up to that difficult choice. Because otherwise we get into a position where we have lots of parishes that are kept open, just barely, because people have sentimental attachment to that local institution. And the ministry and the Gospel is degraded by that."
"You have lots and lots of money going to maintenance, to keeping things the way they were, and eventually it doesn't work. There's lots and lots of energy that goes to maintaining and keeping things the way that they were. It is a wise thing to have someone who has the authority to say, 'You know what, we need to focus on the future.'"
Drew shared his thoughts on the idea of parishes and schools closing, saying, "I'd much rather have them stay open, personally. Because I think there are institutions that are still needed in the country that will close because of COVID. I guess I'm saddened by it. The more Catholic institutions and resources we have to serve the laity, the better our country will be."
Fr. Sullins acknowledged that this is a time when the faithful must hope in the Lord, and pray that amidst the pandemic Catholics will hold ever more firmly to Christ and find new ways to share the Gospel with the world.
"It's definitely a time of shaking, and all the things we thought were fixed are moving," Fr. Sullins said. "The ground is moving beneath our feet and being shaken. And like the epistle to the Hebrews says, God is going to shake and shake, and everything that can be shaken off will be shaken off. And the things that are left are those things that are unshakeable."

One of the hardest things to deal with are all the 'Firsts' – the first Birthday/Christmas/Father's Day etc.
For many special days like Father's Day dealing with your emotions on these days doesn't get any easier, in some ways get harder as you are often more numb initially.
You are naturally missing your child every day, but the intensity of your emotions can feel worse on these days by either your expectations of the day or what others expect of you. The first step is to take care of yourself on those days, and not expect too much of yourself and do what is right for you. Decide if and how you want to mark the occasion, but be aware that not marking the day can be a way of suppressing how you are feeling about the day and what it means to you.
To a bereaved Father, Father's day is probably one of the hardest to deal with, such a mix of emotions and everywhere you turn there are reminders of the day both on the lead up to it and the weekend itself.
Using the 4 C's to deal with Father's Day
Have a plan about how you are going to CARE for yourself on the day. Start with the basics and try to get a good night's sleep the evening before so you can be as fresh and strong as possible on the day. Make sure you have food in the house, maybe have something pre-prepared the day before if you don't particularly enjoy cooking, or, if you enjoy cooking then have a plan for what you are going to cook on the day and get all the shopping in you will need, but only if you feel up to it.
Keep yourself hydrated, drinking water is vital to everyday health and can help if you are physically processing and releasing, if it's a time where you would normally drink alcohol to celebrate, partake if you feel like it, but please watch overindulgence of alcohol, as that could be a way of masking your feelings. Start and or finish your day with something you like to do to relax.
CONNECT & COMMUNICATE with family and friends about how you feel about the forthcoming Father's day and how they can help and support you to get through that day; they might want to take you out to show you how much they love you. However, going out to eat in a packed restaurant with everyone else celebrating the special day, when you just feel like crying because you miss your child, could be the worst thing for you, so you need to communicate how you feel and what would make you happy on that special day, or at least make it endurable.
You may prefer to be alone on that day; if that is the case then it is important to communicate this with friends & family and hopefully they will respect your wishes. However, please be wary of being on your own, as you don't want to be wallowing in your sadness and maybe unwittingly pushing people away if they genuinely want to help you.
As mentioned before, it is particularly important to be open with your partner as you have both lost a child, and this is a massive trauma for you both to cope with. There is no right or wrong thing to do, trust your instincts about what feels right for you and communicate this with your partner. If you have other children, you may wish to think how you would like to spend the day with them, depending on their ages communicate how you are feeling about the forthcoming day, directly with them.
Remember that both sets of parents have lost a Grandchild too and will be suffering seeing you, their own child suffering too. Talk to your own Father if you can and share your feelings about the day with him and try and make a connection that suits you both in marking the day.
Holidays and special days help us mark the passing of time and jog our memories of events and people. This is especially true for parents who have lost a child, whether that child was a baby, young child, youth or adult. Connection is vital at this time and sharing stories can help you to heal, remembering joyous times you had, special memories of previous Father's Days, if you can release any negative thoughts and feelings, so you can raise your vibration to feel connected with their soul and link to memories of happy times.
Think about how you can CONNECT with the child you have lost; would you like to visit their gravesite with some flowers or go to a favourite place of theirs and just spend some quiet time there. Again, communicate this to your partner and any other children you have. Maybe you can be taken there first to spend some special time connecting and then be taken to have a family meal with the other children you have (if you have them), where you could share favourite memories and family stories around the dinner table and CREATE a special day with all your children, or, if it is just you and your partner now, go home for a special meal and share your precious memories together, your hopes and desires for the future.
Probably, just like me, you were brought up to believe that Special days like Father's Day are fun and joyful. But now that you are grieving, it can make special days like Father's Day, a painful and exhausting experience.
Take the time to find healing activities and appreciate your life. Look at what your loss experience has taught you about the strength you have found in yourself. You know what it's like when Father's Day is all around you, in the shops, on TV and Social Media etc… and everyone around you seems to be busy celebrating when you just feel miserable.
You can also keep busy by focusing on those things that help you manage. CREATE activities which can bring a sense of personal renewal and a feeling of significant accomplishment. Be flexible in your thinking, as you do practical and sensible things that help you deal with things.
Here are a few ideas:
- Keep a journal for venting
This can become an outlet to share what you are going through. Then reflect on what you wrote, how you have changed and how you are managing so much better. You can create a biography of your child in the journal that helps you search for answers to your questions
- Use poetry to memorialize your child
Poems have great meaning to those who write them and those who read them
- Write a letter to yourself
This can be about your child, what you now know about what happened to them, what got you through it, and how you found meaning in it
- Create a memory book
This can contain photos or be a box with mementoes and reminders of the connection you shared with your child
- Wear something your child gave you
You can just wear this for you or let others know of its significance
- Purchase a fragrant candle and create a ritual as you light it, you can use this to reflect on your child's life
Rituals have a beginning and an end. That is why lighting and extinguishing a candle is symbolic
- Keep an item that belonged to your child
These objects are physical items that connect you to your child and can help you with acceptance. These transitional items hold special meaning and serve as reminders that you are still spiritually connected with your child
- Create a memorial fund
This can be done in your child's name. Contact your local bank or a foundation to help you and then let others know how to donate to the fund
- Focus on others in need and volunteer
This can also be done in your child's memory at a nursing home, homeless shelter or charity they supported, or which helped them
- Read a card or letter given to you by your child
I still have a couple of items Adam made at his playgroup on display in my living room
- Watch a home video of your child
When watching this you can remember the happy times you shared with your child and fire the neurons which will create more happy memories
- Express your feelings through music
Whether you choose to sing a song or write one, the creative expression can be healing. Sit back and listen to a song that is meaningful to you and brings you strength
- Buy a gift for yourself
This gift can be one your child would have liked or what they may have bought you
- Create a memory quiltwhich can be used to cover a bed or chair include family and friends in this activity if it helps. A quilt can be made of digital photos transferred to fabric squares and you could use some of your child's clothing
- Take care of yourself
Focus on eating right, exercising, limiting alcohol, maintaining a healthy body weight, and getting adequate sleep
- Review what you have done
Think about what you can simplify. As you focus on traditions, be mindful of those things you can handle and those things you want to change. Let others know the changes you intend to make
- Give yourself permission to leave early from a gathering
If you went to a family gathering and felt ill after you have arrived it would be perfectly acceptable to leave, so if you don't feel 'right' at a gathering it's perfectly fine to say so and leave if you feel you need to
- Shop online
If you don't feel like going out shopping, especially during the lead up to Father's day, when there may be many painful reminders around, consider catalogue and Internet shopping
- Let others know that it's okay to reminisce, if you want to talk about your child, let people know, they may be keeping quiet for fear of upsetting you, it could simply be a lack of communication. Usually, stories lead to stories that will make you laugh which can actually help you manage these special days.
These special days should be joyful and fun times, so use some of the ideas above to remember these special times with love and happiness. Review the traditions you follow to see if they are right for you now and make new ones to do on those special days. Creating these new traditions and rituals can transform the way you feel about those days.
These days can highlight the special connection between a parent and child (no matter how old the child was). Parenthood is a bond like no other. On these special days, it can highlight who is not there with you.
How to feel connected with your child on Father's day
Your child will be in your heart forever, just because they are physically not with you doesn't mean their soul isn't still with you. When you wake up on Mother's day, spend a few minutes either meditating about how you feel and sending messages to your child through meditation. You can also spend this time journaling to your child, what you loved that they used to do for you or whatever you want to convey to still feel connected to them.
You can reminisce about your child with those who are compassionate and are happy to just be there and listen to the stories you wish to share.
As with everything else in life, there is a yin and yang balance, not talking about your child and bottling up your thoughts and feelings is one side and constantly talking about your child is the other; neither of these are ideal. Create a balance that suits you, releasing any resistant thoughts and feelings and then you will be able to share openly from the heart about your child, but still have perspective and harmony in your life.
One of the things I want to see change, is people become more open about loss and that it is not seen as a taboo subject, that few want to discuss.
Dealing with thoughts and emotions on those special days
It is very likely that these special days will trigger thoughts and emotions. Be aware of this and have your way of dealing with anything that comes up, imagine the thought in writing and then imagine a big fat rubber erasing this thought for you. If you have worked with me you will have the technique I share with clients to release any unwanted thoughts that arise. The method, in short, is just releasing the thought you don't want and turning it into a more positive one, and then we replace your unwanted thought with the one you do want. This will raise your vibrations and change how you feel to something lovely.
No matter how short the life of your child – CELEBRATE IT in a happy, joyful and loving way.

This IU grad is now CEO of the Walt Disney Company
The new chief executive of the Walt Disney Company is a Hoosier.
The company's board of directors named Bob Chapek Disney's CEO after it was announced Bob Iger will transition out of the role, according to a Tuesday news release.
"I am incredibly honored and humbled to assume the role of CEO of what I truly believe is the greatest company in the world, and to lead our exceptionally talented and dedicated cast members and employees," Chapek said in a written statement.
Before he joined Disney, Chapek received a bachelor's degree in microbiology at Indiana University in 1981 and later earned an MBA at Michigan State University.
In 2013, he was among the inaugural class of the IU College of Arts and Sciences' Luminaries Program, which brought high-achieving alumni back to campus to share their experiences in the hopes of inspiring future leaders.
IU President Michael McRobbie congratulated Chapek for his accomplishments Wednesday, calling him one of the university's "most accomplished and distinguished alumni."
"At a time when some assert that a liberal arts education is not in tune with our modern technology-saturated times," McRobbie said in a written statement, "Bob is a prime example of how the deep knowledge and practical skills learned in the liberal arts and sciences will always remain essential to nearly every profession and to the growth and development of our society."
Chapek served as the chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products beginning in 2018 and previously served as the chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts beginning in 2015.
Iger will continue to serve as executive chairman of the board and will lead the company's creative endeavors through the end of his contract in December 2021, according to the release.
"Bob will be the seventh CEO in Disney's nearly 100-year history, and he has proven himself exceptionally qualified to lead the Company into its next century," Iger said in a written statement. "Throughout his career, Bob has led with integrity and conviction, always respecting Disney's rich legacy while at the same time taking smart, innovative risks for the future."
In his last role, Chapek oversaw the expansion of the company's largest business segment, according to the news release, including the opening of the first Disney theme park and resort in mainland China.

Rough consensus has been reached to delay the difficulty bomb for years between ethereum developers in a public call.
The call itself had some technical problems, so it's not clear what exactly was said, but Tim Beiko of PegaSys says:
"The current proposal is block 9.2M, which would bring us to ~January 6th.
There are no objections on the call, so it seems we have rough consensus to upgrade on block 9.2M, push back the difficulty bomb 9M blocks, and use the Mountain Glacier name."
Nine million blocks is the current number. Devs have agreed to delay the difficulty bomb for 4 million blocks.
That's roughly two years, or 700 days at 15 second blocks. So if this fork goes through the difficulty bomb won't kick in until the very end of 2021 or in early 2022.
In the meantime the Proof of Stake (PoS) Beacon Chain is meant to go through probably during spring at the earliest. That will increase inflationary new supply depending on how many stake.
In addition, inflation will instantly increase at the very point this fork goes through by around 2,000 eth a day. Up from the current circa ◊11,600 back to the ◊13,600 that miners were receiving before the difficulty bomb kicked in.
There has been no public discussion between devs and ethereans on what exactly should be done both in regards to issuance and in regards to the difficulty bomb.
Devs instead decided monetary policy only between themselves, with the initial name proposed for the fork being Melting Glacier.
That presumably sounded too much like the naming of the civil liberties dismantling "Patriotic" Act, so they went with Mountain Glacier which still gives the same message.
That being: they are melting the ice age, another name for the difficulty bomb. Arguably they are also melting the real glaciers as mining takes quite a bit of energy and miners usually operate near cost.
Proof of Stake is meant to remove miners and thus make ethereum fully environmentally friendly, but full Proof of Stake is years and years away according to Vitalik Buterin, ethereum's co-founder.
There will instead be a hybrid of sorts of PoS and Proof of Work (PoW) mining, with the PoS chain initially sort of having nothing to do with the PoW chain.
There are suggestions eventually the stakers might finalize the PoW chain through decentralized checkpoints, but that's a pretty complex problem and one that is difficult to solve.
Without the difficulty bomb, there probably won't be much of an incentive to solve it either. So while all other main cryptos are reducing inflation by 50%, ethereum is apparently to increase it in an "emergency" fork mere days after the New Year party.

Nutritious diet necessary for football players to survive August heat
PATASKALA - Watching what he eats is old hat for L.A. Kelly.
So, it stands to reason Licking Heights' senior wrestling and football standout might have had an elaborate diet set up to combat what he was losing during the Hornets' recent two-a-day practices.
"Peanut butter and jelly is a go-to for us," Kelly said. "I actually have peanut butter and jelly in my locker right now."
With temperatures hovering around 90 degrees and high humidity to boot since official practice began Aug. 1, vigilance on player nutrition became a 24/7 responsibility for players.
Throughout practice water breaks were frequent, but the job did not end at 2 p.m. Players spent the evening doing what they could to be in tip-top physical condition for the next day.
"You definitely have to avoid a lot of sugar, especially pop. It makes you feel like crap the next day," Lakewood senior linebacker Riley Vierstra said. "A lot of water, milk helps and then really just a lot of carbs and get some protein back in you.
Lakewood's coaching staff stresses the importance of cooling down and immediately adding food following workouts to increase hunger and not fill the stomach simply with water.
"It gives you a lot more energy," Vierstra said. "You don't feel sluggish or dead."
Coaches and athletic trainers are not asking their players to completely change their eating habits. They simply want them to be aware of how certain foods and beverages affect their body.
"With kids, nutrition usually goes in one ear and out the other," Utica coach Ted Londot said. "You hope a majority of kids listen to you and keep their bodies fresh.
"We stress things that are going to keep cramps out and things that are going to help their body retain water," he added. "Pops and teas we try to avoid. We try to encourage them to eat spinach and bananas. The stuff my wife makes me eat."
It was nothing new for Newark Catholic players when August arrived. Assistant coach Josh Hendershot set up the Green Wave on the same nutrition plan the University of Toledo used when he was a player from 2010-14.
"We are trying to work a little smarter with the nutrition part," NC coach Bill Franks said. "We are interviewing them every day. We weighed them throughout the offseason, during the summer. We are really putting that nutrition piece front and center. We think it's going to pay some benefits."
Like many programs in the area, Heights weighs its players before and after each practice. Many Hornets actually gain weight during two-a-day practices because of their focus on hydration, but if a player loses three percent of body mass, he is held out of practice.
Athletic trainer Eric Bortmas said OhioHealth, his employer, provides a nutritionist for a seminar to each of the schools it serves.
The OhioHealth nutrition staff recommends a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, nuts for protein and bagels for carbohydrates. The menu, however, does not have to be boring as fruit smoothies and burritos are among the items that are helpful in moderation.
Energy drinks can be used after practices, but Bortmas does not let a player practice if he consumer an energy drink in the morning because it unnecessarily speeds up the heart rate.
"Literally every practice when we are breaking, (coach Darren Waters) will tell us, 'Three to four meals a day. Three to four meals a day after practice," Kelly said. "And you should have at least one or two before you come in."
Bortmas also carries a sling psychrometer at practice each day to measure the temperature and humidity. He frequently will recommend Waters add water breaks and occasionally might have to tell him to shorten practice.
Once practice ends, the replenishing begins - even if it does not always satisfy the taste buds.
"I have a lot of sandwiches really and a lot of coconut water," Vierstra said. "I don't like it. It's gross by itself, but when it's in other drinks, I can have it. It's OK."

|BLOCKS by SIZE
|9" Quilt Blocks
There is no question that 12" quilt blocks are the most commonly used. But at times, you want to make a block that is a little smaller and uses easy math. Enter the 9 inch block -- not too big and not too small, but just fits the bill.
Disappearing Nine Patch
Sample Quilt Layouts
This is an interesting quilt block -- Disappearing Nine Patch -- as, although the name indicates "nine patch", you just don't see it. That's the magic of the "disappearing" part. Simple construction of a nine patch is then followed by recutting the block and then reconstructing those new, cut pieces.
The two sample quilt layouts shown below use the standard quilt layouts -- a side by side block setting and an on point block setting -- with very different results. There is no end to the fun you can have when using this quilt block. And -- the extra good news is that all of the pieces you start with are simply squares! Enjoy the fun!
** For Hand Piecers - Use the Mosaic quilt block pattern instead.

Project 35 is a program of single-channel videos selected by 35 international curators who have each chosen one work from an artist that they think is important for audiences around the world to experience today. The resulting selection is released in four installments, and is presented simultaneously in an ever-expanding number of venues.
Drawing on ICI's extensive network of curators to trace a complexity of regional and global connections among practitioners, Project 35 demonstrates the extent to which video is now one of the most important and far-reaching mediums for contemporary artists.

Project 35 recalls the founding initiatives of ICI. As a fledgling organization, ICI was an early proponent of video as an art form—the first ICI show in 1975 was organized for the São Paulo Biennial, presenting a survey of video works that included Vito Acconci, Bruce Nauman, Nam June Paik, Keith Sonnier, Steina Vasulka, Bill Viola, and others; artists who were pioneers working in a medium that was just beginning to gain traction in the field of contemporary art. For this significant anniversary, iCI is inviting curators from its past and present exhibitions as well as other leading professionals in the field today, aiming again for
Project 35 is produced and circulated by ICI (Independent Curators International), New York. The exhibition and tour are made possible, in part, by grants from the Cowles Charitable Trust, Foundation for Contemporary Art, Foundation To-Life, Inc., the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, and The Toby Fund; the ICI Board of Trustees; and ICI Benefactors Barbara and John Robinson. Project 35 also benefitted from donations made to ICI's Access Fund, created to widen the reach of ICI programs – Burt Aaron, Bobbie Brown and Steven Plofker, Jim Cohan, Phillip Drill, Leslie Fritz, Marilyn and Stephen Greene, Agnes Gund, Ken Kuchin, Gerrit and Sydie Lansing, Jo Carole Lauder, Janelle Reiring, Patterson Sims, Bill and Ruth True, August Uribe, Frank and Margo Walter, Helene Winer, and Virginia and Bagley Wright.
Independent Curators International (ICI) produces exhibitions, events, publications, and training opportunities for diverse audiences around the world. A catalyst for independent thinking, ICI connects emerging and established curators, artists, and institutions, to forge international networks and generate new forms of collaboration. Working across disciplines and historical precedents, the organization is a hub that provides access to the people, ideas, and practices that are key to current developments in the field, inspiring fresh ways of seeing and contextualizing contemporary art.

Emilia Tickets
Bassano is often credited with being England's first feminist writer and is thought to have been a muse to William Shakespeare, leaving behind an immortal presence within the characters in his plays. She was a theological pioneer, the founder of a school and a mother besides. Thanks to the myriad letters, legal records and poems she left behind, her life is well documented.
Morgan Lloyd Malcolm wrote Emilia specifically for Shakespeare's Globe, marking the first original commission by Michelle Terry as new Artistic Director. A playwright and screenwriter, Malcolm has written for Soho Theatre, Royal Shakespeare Company/Clean Break Theatre, Hampstead Theatre and others. Among her most critically acclaimed plays are Belongings and The Wasp.
Fittingly, the production features an all-female creative team. Direction comes from Nicole Charles, musical composition is by Bill Barclay, choreography is courtesy of Anna Morrissey, while design and costumes are the work of Joanna Scotcher.
The West End run stars Saffron Coomber, Adelle Leonce, and Clare Perkins as the Emilias. Further casting includes Nadia Albina, Jackie Clune, Jenni Maitland, Anna Andresen, Sarah Seggari, Charity Wakefield, Sophie Stone, Carolyn Pickles, Amanda Wilkin and Tanika Yearwood.
The Stage noted that, "Emilia is a play that transcends time, and place, to find meaning and relevance in a world far removed from its own". Don't miss this second chance to catch it when it plays a season at the West End's Vaudeville Theatre from 8 March 2019 until 1 June 2019.
Running time: Approx 2 hours 30 mins
Age recommendation: Recommended 11+
Special notice: Lovers of Shakespeare, English Renaissance, feminist stories and medieval history won't want to miss this beguiling play.
Sorry this show closed 01 June 2019, we recommend these similar productions.

With growth comes challenges as evident by GE, Oracle and other now established giants. When your B2B startup begins entertaining larger deals, your customers' needs grow in complexity. And when you scale your product to meet these needs, your product—no matter how much blood and sweat you poured into it—will inevitably fall short.
The good news is, however, that you can probably already predict where most of the shortfalls will occur. Time after time, product managers see the same patterns and themes in customer feedback. While you won't be able to anticipate every problem, you can shore up the categories that are known troublemakers: permissions, onboarding and in-product communication. Learning to anticipate what will break as you scale, enables your team to prepare and eliminate future headaches.
Building Robust Permissions
Large enterprises have greater expectations and requirements around workflow and accountability within any product. This means that as you scale your product, you may need to create additional, differentiated layers of permissions to accommodate for different types of users and to meet the workflow needs of your customer's organization.
For example, a cloud-based document management product might launch with just two options for permissions: standard users who can create and edit their own documents and administrators with broader access and more control. At a certain point, though, customers may want to invite external collaborators—users that can't create their own documents, but can comment or make suggestions on existing documents. Or perhaps they may want to designate supervisors to have access to certain documents created by people under their chain of command, but no further permissions.
These workflow requirements, in a product reflect the complexity of growing organizations and they exist for the same reason—accountability. Large organizations need these processes in place to ensure quality and make sure employees can be held accountable for what they sign off on. If your product doesn't provide the levels of control needed, your ability to sell to larger enterprise customers may be limited.
Make Onboarding Easy and Engaging
Every provider knows the importance of a smooth onboarding process. In just minutes—or perhaps even seconds—a potential lifetime user can either start building loyalty toward your product or can turn away for good.
If a product truly is simple and self-explanatory, a tour layer is enough to walk new users through the process without losing their interest or engagement. Too often, though, companies default to a tour to check the onboarding box, even when it isn't a good match for their product. If a user's first experience with your product is clicking all over the place following never-ending tour popups, they will become frustrated with your product and even worse, they may give up.
Instead, your process should enable users to immediately identify the opportunities your product affords them. The sooner you can get a user to see the value they get from the product, the more likely they'll be to stick with it. This process not only solidifies the value the app provides, but also helps users understand how to navigate it and what your product is all about.
Your onboarding process should be informative, but don't think of it as a "hit list" of features that you have to explain. Instead, think of it primarily as creating an amazing first impression. It's a selling opportunity.
Adding In-Product Communication
As you scale, especially if you evolve from a product to a platform, somewhere along the way, you'll reach a point where you should consider providing in-product communication between users.
You'll know it's time to consider a communications feature when your customers consistently using an outside communications platform to talk about work that's being done inside your product. For example, if your customers are using your product to manage and edit their documents, but report discussing what they're doing in Slack or over email, this showcases an opportunity to build collaboration or discussion features in your product to serve customers in a more streamlined way.
There are different kinds of collaboration, so take the time to understand exactly how your users need to work together and communicate. For example, are they collaborating with specific input on documents, events, or projects? Or are they using more free-form communication like Slack? The answer should help you decide how to move forward. A strong appreciation for how your customers are using your product will be key in designing the right type of communication features.
Overcoming the Learning Curve
Instead of waiting to see where your problems will crop up, anticipate the specific areas that commonly experience growing pains to plan ahead and avoid being caught off guard. Permissions, strengthening onboarding procedures and considering possibilities for in-product communication are three of the best places to anticipate issues when scaling your B2B product.
Growing pains are unavoidable, but having the foresight into how your product roadmap will need to shift to adapt to your scaling product will ease the process. This is no substitution for genuine customer research, but planning ahead and being aware of expected issues as you scale can enable preventative measures that increase your company's chance of success.

Behold this new kid's product—with national TV ads breaking this holiday—and try hard not to conjure the familiar refrain, "You'll shoot your eye out, kid!" It's called the JT SplatMaster, if that gives you any inkling of its intent. It's an at-home paintball gun made for boys 9 and up. What could possibly go wrong? It "accurately shoots up to 100-plus feet" and pelts its target with brightly colored gunk, "a first in its category," according to manufacturer Kee Action Sports. Hey, competing with Nerf ain't child's play, all right? The paintball-lite gun, for the record, shoots at a fraction of the force of a real one. Easily bruised? Play at your own risk. (There's actually a whole section on safety at the website.) The marketer, a first-time national TV advertiser, is spending about $2 million to hawk the blaster on channels like Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite, Disney XD, Cartoon Network and MTV (the latter for the man-children). The campaign is from ad agency Tierney in Philadelphia and emphasizes outdoor play and adventure rather than, say, a ride to the emergency room. (Goggles are sold separately, after all.) The only question remaining: Where can I get me one?

Last Thursday the UK Government announced the latest guidance on their Return to Recreational Sport Framework.
Since then the Provincial Council of Britain GAA, has been working with relevant partners to gather the information required to enable us to draw up the the relevant reports, action plans, guidance and risk assessments that will form part of our submission to the Government for review as part of the Framework process. We want as much as anyone to get back to play as soon as possible.
Our plans and guidance need to be approved by the government, confirmation of which needs to be formally communicated to us and at such time those plans and guidance will then be linked on the GOV.UK website. Only then will we be allowed any form of return to full contact activity.
Until such time we remain at Phase 3 of the Safe Return to GAA Activity road map that was communicated to all units on June 24th.
A reminder of what that currently includes:
Adhering to limits on outdoor gatherings permitted by the relevant national legislation – at present that number is 30 in England and Wales and 50 in Scotland
Non contact, respecting social distance, activities/training.
Sharing of equipment to be minimised and risk managed.

Gödöllő lies in a clean, green and panoramic area surrounded by forests. The forests in Gödöllő's downs have always offered kings and governors excellent grounds for wild game hunting. Queen Mary Therese paid a visit in the beautiful baroque castle of Gödöllő in 1751. Later the estate of Gödöllő with the mansion house was given to Francis Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth of Austria and Queen of Hungary (called Sisi by Hungarians) as a coronation gift. For Sisi this summer residence became a perfect escape place from noisy Vienna. If you put the Gödöllő Day Trip on your Hungary sightseeing list you will understand why.
This is just an overview, I plan and implement every tour based on individual needs and requests.
Price is 370 USD or 370 EUR up to 5 persons. For more persons or a group please send me an e-mail. Entrance fees and other personal costs are not included.
You can make a booking request using the online form or sending me an e-mail. I will get back to you within 24 hours with a confirmation and further information. After this you just need to wait the day of your private experience.

text: We've received this submission at least a hundred times, with as many different stories attached. It's always "ma girl struttin" or "creep shotted this today!" First off, I'm pretty sure we posted this long and forever ago. Secondly, this particular one appears to be photoshopped. Who wants to lay claim over a photoshopped creep shot they didn't take? Just go out and find some delectable booty to snap some pictures of, send it in and let us all enjoy something fresh and new!

It is late here – approaching midnight & obviously I am still awake. I had to go over to FOB Lagman for a meeting this afternoon & we got back to Apache pretty late tonight. I had a few things to catch up on before I could be done for the night. I really should get to bed, but I'm feeling a little extra lonely right now, so I thought I would do a shout out to my family & write a little…
The best thing about FOB Lagman is that is where our mail goes, so when we go there we also pick up mail. WooHoo – I had mail! I really like getting mail, although I am horrible about sending mail. My beautiful wife, Kate, does an awesome job of making sure I have a steady supply of stuff. Sometimes I actually feel guilty that she spends so much of her time doing that for me.
I am very blessed with her. Her & the two little kids usually send me lots of artwork they make, amazing cookies that Kennadi helps make, Mountain Dew (I'm addicted & the Mountain Dew we have here comes from the UAE & it sucks), M&M's & Pringles. Definitely my favorite Afghanistan food! OK, it isn't really Afghanistan food, but it is my favorite food I eat in Afghanistan.
The only real drawback in getting the goodies boxes & letters from home, is it reminds me of all the things I miss. The list isn't really that long but it is little things and big things. Here are some random things, in no particular order:
- Touch – it is probably the one thing I definitely miss the most, being touched by and touching my family: Kate, the kids, my mom & dad, my dogs…it's hard to go so long without being able to hold hands, get or give a hug or a kiss…it actually really sucks a lot
- Pizza – I am really needing a Duane's Pizza fix! I want it to be one of the first things I eat when I get back to Moorhead in May!
- Freedom – the ability to go for walk or jump on the motorcycle or in the car & just go.
- Shopping! I know, I know that sounds dumb coming from a guy, but I love going to Best Buy, Home Depot, Sam's Club, etc. I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, even at home, but nothing beats wandering around the aisles trying to rationalize to myself why I absolutely need the latest gadget.
- My bed
- My bathroom
- Civilian clothes – I would love to be able to wear a pair of jeans!
- My 'stuff' – my tools I hardly use (but they are mine), my motorcycle and all my other gadgets
- My Sunday morning visits to my Mom & Dad
- Just hanging out at home, with Kate & the kids, not doing anything…
Of course there are a lot of other things I miss, but nothing compares to how much I miss Kate & the kids and the ability to touch them. I can Skype regularly and I am very grateful for that, but nothing can ever replace the ability to touch them…
Do me a favor, when you see Kate, Justin, Steph, Zach, Kaylin, Kennadi, Sam or my mom, remind them that I miss them all like crazy, but love them more…thanks.
good night…
