Authentic original Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations Indian Territory Homestead Patent assigning 130 acres to a member of the Choctaw Indian Tribe. This historic document is transcribed below and is signed by the Principal Chief of the Choctaw Nation, Green McCurtain and Governor of the Chickasaw Nation, Douglas H. Johnston. It is also signed by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Ethan A. Hitchcock, filed for record: February 14, 1906.
The Chickasaw Nation is a federally recognized Native American nation, located in Oklahoma. They are one of the members of the Five Civilized Tribes. The Chickasaw Nation was created after the Chickasaw people were forcibly removed by the U.S. federal government to Indian Territory in the 1830s. Their removal was part of a larger effort by the federal government to relocate peoples from the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations. The removals became known as the �Trail of Tears�.
The Curtis Act of 1898 and the flood of non-Indian settlers forced the Chickasaw and other Indian nations to consider allotment and to agree to terminate independent governments. In 1895 the Dawes Commission began holding hearings in the Indian Territory to negotiate allotment agreements with the Five Civilized Tribes. Although a joint Chickasaw and Choctaw commission agreed to land allotment to tribe members and to reserve coal and asphalt lands, Chickasaw voters rejected the Atoka Agreement of 1897. Subsequently, Congress adopted the Curtis Act, which embodied the Atoka Agreement, ended tribal sovereignty, abolished tribal courts and enforcement of tribal laws, and scheduled all tribal governments to terminate on March 4, 1906.
Green McCurtain represented his tribe as a delegate at the Sequoyah Constitutional Convention, an effort by American Indian nations to create an Indian-controlled state in what is now Oklahoma.
Johnston was reelected to office in 1904. This was the last election under the traditional Chickasaw Nation government. When the Chickasaw Nation was dissolved in 1906 as a prelude to Oklahoma being admitted as a state, President Theodore Roosevelt appointed him as governor of his people. He served in that position until his death in 1939. In 1907, the legislature of the newly created state of Oklahoma tried to nullify a provision of the Atoka Agreement that prohibited taxing for 21 years the lands allotted to Native American heads of household. Johnston led the court fight against the state. The US Supreme Court upheld the provision in 1912.
In 1924, the Johnston administration won permission to sue the Federal government in the United States Court of Claims and recover money that it had obtained illegally from tribal resources.
Ethan Allen Hitchcock (September 19, 1835 � April 9, 1909) served under Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt as U.S. Secretary of the Interior.
He was in mercantile business at Saint Louis, Missouri, 1855�60, then went to China to enter a commission house, of which firm he became a partner in 1866. He was married to Margaret Dwight Collier on March 20, 1869. Ethan and Margaret Hitchcock had three daughters, Sarah, Anne and the Margaret Hitchcock.
In 1872 he retired from business, in 1874 returned to the United States, and in 1874-97 was president of several manufacturing, mining and railway companies. He was a member of the Missouri Society of the Sons of the Revolution.
WHEREAS, The said Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes has certified that the land hereinafter described has been selected by or on behalf of Lottie Sittel a citizen of the CHOCTAW Nation, as an allotment, exclusive of land equal in value to one hundred and sixty acres of the average allotable lands of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations selected as a homestead as aforesaid.

A dispute with a neighbour, roommate, family member or coworker can lead to stress in life, coupled with anxiety and in some cases fear; additionally, conflicts that are left unresolved or are poorly managed fester and often get worse. This is the reality of what the Community Mediation Services Division of the Ministry of Community Development, Culture and the Arts deals with daily as they mediate, counsel and resolve some of these issues at their eight (8) centres across Trinidad. Their ultimate goal is for persons to "Talk it out, not fight it out!" as they celebrate 12 years of service through Community Mediation.
A division that stands committed to building resilience, promoting a culture of peace and facilitating the healing in our communities, the story of Community Mediation started on October 2nd, 2000 when it was introduced to Trinidad and Tobago on a pilot basis, as an alternative to litigation. However, it was not until April 26th, 2006 that the first Community Mediation Centre was opened. Its beginnings can be traced back to a Cabinet mandate to provide mediation and social work services and proactive programmes to facilitate and encourage behavioural change and positive responses to conflict and other challenging life circumstances.
Community Empowerment Programmes attended by over 1,900 persons in the areas of Anger Management, Building Trust and Managing Conflict, Leadership Skills, Effective Communication, Conflict De-escalation, Emotional Intelligence and Stress Management.
While "Talk it out, not fight it out!" may best capture the daily mantra of the Community Mediation Services Division, its ecosystem of programmes are geared toward the enhancement of communities through empowerment of individuals and families. As the Ministry seeks to expand its mediation programme in service to communities across Trinidad, a Mobile Mediation Bus Service will soon be launched in an effort to increase reach and address the needs of particularly rural communities.
The Mediation Division continues to contribute to communities through the provision of programmes and services for peacebuilding and conflict resolution. For more information, contact the Community Mediation Services Division at 225-4267.

This high performance material is designed to block and reflect high energy sound waves in the form of road noise.
How is this accomplished? Similiar to our other barrier products, SB-DFB-20R features a closed cell foam layer that is designed to create an airspring or "airspace" below the dense, 1lb ft² vinyl layer. The dense layer of vinyl is not coupled to the supporting structure, in this case the vehicles floor pan, therefore sound energy is reflected. If the foam layer was not present and the vinyl layer is in direct contact with the floor pan or supporting structure, slightly reduced sound energy will migrate into the passenger compartment because the sound energy perceives the floor pan to be slightly thicker. The airspring is the key!
THIS MATERIAL IS AVAILABLE IN 90FT² ROLLS ONLY.
A single roll may be enough for you to treat one large project or numerous smaller projects. Many of our customers who have purchased this material stock it like fabric and cut from the roll as necessary. When purchasing in a large quantity like this, the price per square foot is very low.

YOM KIPPUR & THE SIX DAY WAR
Friday, October 3rd and Saturday, October 4, 2014, are Yom Kippur. The name means "day of atonement." It is a day set aside to atone for the sins of the past year. On Yom Kippur, the judgment entered in the "books" is sealed and it is a chance to change the judgment by demonstrating repentance and resolve to make amends. It is a complete Sabbath for prayer and fasting. Most of the holiday is intended to be spent in prayer in the synagogue. It is the most solemn day in the Jewish calendar.
It also has historical significance which accounts in part for the animosity between Israel and neighboring countries. In 1972, Anwar Sadat, Egyptian leader, formed a new alliance with Syria. Egypt and Syria planed a concerted attack on Israel.
The plan was carried out on October 6, 1973 to win back territory that had been lost to Israel during the third Arab – Israel war, in 1967. The war began when Egypt and Syria forces launched a coordinated attack against Israel. They picked Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. It took the Israeli Defense forces by surprise as was intended. . Many of the Israeli army were away from their post observing the religious holiday. It took Israel several days to become fully mobilized.The combined forces made substantial advances using up to date Soviet weapons and equipment. Iraqi forces joined the war. Syria received also got support from Jordan.
President Nixon ordered US airlift of arms to a Israel but delayed emergency military aid for a week because of US connections with Egypt. Israel counterattacked swiftly and with success. It regained the Golan Heights. The Israel Defense forces cost the Arab army heavy costs in soldiers and equipment.
Egypt lost the famous Six-Day War of 1967 leaving the Jewish nation in control of territory four times its previous size. Egypt lost the 23,500 mile Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip. Jordan lost the West Bank and and East Jerusalem. Syria lost the strategic Golan Heights. A cease-fire went into effect October 25, 1973. In short, it was a disaster for the invading armies.
Israel's prime minister, Golda Meir, later had to step down because of criticism about the unpreparedness of the Army. However, even though defeated, Sadat was seen as a strong leader for having made the attack.
In 1974 the first of two Egyptian – Israeli disengagement agreements provided for the return of portions of the Sinai to Egypt were signed. In 1979 Egypt and Israel signed the first peace agreement. Israel returned the last segment of the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt.
For Syria, however, the Yom Kippur war was a disaster. The unexpected Egyptian – Israeli cease-fire exposed Syria to military defeat and Israel seized even more territory in the Golan Heights. In 1979, Syria voted with other Arab states to expel Egypt from the Arab League.
on October 6, 1981, Anwar Sadat was assassinated by Muslim extremists in Cairo while viewing a military parade commemorating the anniversary of Egypt crossing of the Suez Canal at the start of the Yom Kippur war. And,the unrest continues until today.
This historical background is only a small part of the whole picture and only one of the many hundreds of reasons why this part of the world is now and forever has been in conflict with each other. Given the religious, ethnic and cultural differences, the continous conflict is understandable. Each nation relies upon Scriptural interpretations and historical events which they each believe proves God supports their positions and justifies their actions. War-like people with extremists religious views and without any civilized moral compass threaten not only that part of the world but America as well. We realize that David's sling armed with smooth rocks is no longer the weapon of choice. Sophisticated weapons including nuclear potential are the preferred weapon today.
You remember the fictional character in the Uncle Remus stories of 1881 involving the doll made of tar to trap Br'er Rabbit so that the more he fights Tar Baby the more trapped and entangled he becomes? That seems to me to be a description of the U.S. today. Here we are still in the never ending war in Afghanistan and Iraq, killing with drones and bombing Syria at a cost of billions of dollars weekly. While all the time, lurking in the background, are world powers China and Russia who have their own agenda and are lacking in normal restraints against war and violence. It's like living on the side of a volcano ready to explode at at any time. You know the saying "there are no atheists in foxholes"? Well, given the volatile state of the world we are are all in foxholes, so pray!

Ben Burton, left, Jamin Jones and Shane Richardson are in the early stages of planning a craft beer bar in Scott Depot, West Virginia, where they plan to have 24 beers on tap.
SCOTT DEPOT, W.Va. — A bar that exclusively serves craft beer is planned to open in Scott Depot in the coming months.
Jones owns a couple other businesses in the area: Appalachian Offroad, a European offroad motorcycle shop in Cross Lanes, and P3 Composites, a manufacturing company in Hurricane.
A part of this is making sure it's served the proper way — not in a chilled glass or from a brass faucet, Jones said.

How can production leveling help companies become lean?
Eliminating waste is an important principle in lean production. Here's a look at how heijunka, or production leveling, can help achieve that.
Dave Turbide
For companies that want to follow lean principles, production leveling is an important concept to know.
The driving principle behind lean manufacturing is to eliminate production waste whenever and wherever possible. One way to do that is to eliminate variation, which is also the prime objective of Six Sigma, often associated with lean.
Variation in production is inherent in the start-stop nature of traditional batch manufacturing. Production cells and lines, when properly designed and operated, eliminate that start-stop variation by enabling a steady flow of work that creates a steady demand for supplying lines, departments and suppliers -- helping them eliminate variation in their own processes -- and provides a steady flow of products to downstream processes and customers.
The benefits of level production -- or continuous, repetitive or flow production, as it may be called -- can only be achieved if the cell or line is operated at the steady pace for which it was designed, with the least amount of variation possible. The process of production leveling, also known by its Japanese term heijunka, is based on maintaining that smooth flow of work, meaning that work is released to the plant at the required even rate, and that every effort is made to eliminate interruptions to that even flow.
The Toyota Production System uses the Japanese term heijunka to mean production leveling and links heijunka to the reduction of muda (waste), as well as mura, another form of waste referring directly to unevenness or variation.
Lean manufacturing is well-known for its focus on physical methods of control, such as Kanban cards for triggering inventory replenishment. A heijunka board is a physical, visual scheduling tool that often takes the form of a magnetic board or whiteboard divided into a grid, with the columns representing periods of time and the rows listing or displaying the work to be done.
Another common form of visual representation is the heijunka box, an array of pigeon holes arranged in columns that represent time intervals and rows representing products. Job cards or Kanbans are placed in the pigeon holes to indicate the work that is scheduled for that shift or day. Workers remove the card when starting the work and send the card to the next operation or department to be placed in the proper slot in that department's heijunka box when they're done.

Q: Inverse Function with Fraction. I'm having an issue with this problem for solving for inverse function:
$$f(x) = \frac{9x + 5}{x + 4}$$
Step 1: f(x) to Y. Then, change "$x$" to "$y$" in all cases.
$$f(x) = \frac{9y + 5}{y + 4}$$
Step 2. Multiply denominator to the other side whereas $x$ is $x(y + 4)$, distribute, $xy + 4x$.
Step 3: (This is where I think I am wrong). Divide left side by $x$ to get, $\frac{y + 4}{x}$.
$$\frac {y + 4}{x} = 9y + 5$$
I'm at a loss here, I've looked on youtube and other websites but none of them really explain a problem like this. I know to solve for "$y$", but I can't seem to isolate it.

A: I don't know what you are doing with the replace $x$ by $y$ step.
You have $y = {9x +5 \over x+4 }$ or
$yx+4 y = 9x + 5$, which gives $xy -9x = x(y-9)= 5-4y$, so we have
$x = {5-4y \over y-9 }$. So the inverse function is
$f^{-1} (y)= {5-4y \over y-9 }$.
Note that in general, it is not straightforward to compute the inverse function.

A: If you divide $xy+4x$ by $x$ you do not get $\frac{y+4}x$.

A: In order to find the inverse of the function
$$f(x) = \frac{9x + 5}{x + 4}$$
First, replace $f(x)$ with $y$ to get:
$$y = \frac{9x + 5}{x + 4}$$
Then, switch the $y$ for the $x$'s and vice versa.
$$x = \frac{9y + 5}{y + 4}$$
Now, solve for $y$.
\begin{align}
x (y + 4) &= 9y + 5 \\
xy + 4x &= 9y + 5 \\
4x - 5 &= 9y - xy \\
4x - 5 &= y(9 - x) \\
\frac{4x - 5}{9 - x} &= y
\end{align}
The mistake you're making is dividing when you should just be subtracting the $xy$ once you have distributed it out.
Remember, you are solving for $y$ which means you have to bring your $y$'s all to one side as you would do when you are solving for $x$, for instance. Let me know if you need me to clarify further.

For the last month, our weather has been a little erratic, to say the least. One day it's in the mid 20s, the next it's barely above freezing. All this cold weather is a little too early for our liking, so when we were promised a sunny, warm day on Tuesday we took advantage and drove to the mountains.
We set off quite early and it was just about zero degrees when we got there. The forecast said 17C for Calgary and generally the mountains are a little cooler, so this cool start was not unexpected. But, the skies were blue and the sun was shining.
We drove along and suddenly found ourselves looking at a cloud that was sitting in the mountains and looked pretty cool.
You will notice that even though it is still only September, there is snow on the mountain tops. The Rockies have already had several snow falls this year, but we actually like it better when there is snow on the peaks, it defines them more. Click on any image to enlarge.
Whilst we were here we tried out our new 360 camera. This takes photos and video that can be viewed in 360 degrees.
If you use your mouse or fingers, depending on your device you can move this image around for a full 360 view.
One place that we drive through often, but I've never gotten a photo of is Highwood Pass. This is the highest part of the road in Kananaskis Country, in fact, it is the highest paved road in Canada at 2200 metres or 7239 feet.
The next stop was a beautiful lake. Unfortunately, I completely forgot to note its name, sorry. We stopped off here for quite some time as by now it was a bit warmer and no one else was about so it was completely silent. Absolute bliss!
And another 360 of this stunning area.
Our next stop was a pretty river setting near the road bridge. The mountain you can see in the background is Mt Shark. I think you can guess where it got its name!
As usual, we are always on the lookout for animals and this trip was a bit of a loss on that front. We saw a coyote and some deer on the way here, just outside of Calgary, but nothing in the park itself. Then just as we were giving up a few Rocky Mountain sheep decided to take a drink from the roadside gully. We see these all the time, but beggars can't be choosers.
Apart from the lack of wildlife, we had a great day in the mountains. The weather, although cold to start, did get up to the mid-teens and we had a lovely time.

Fox Terriers are active and lively dogs that are always keen and alert to any challenge.
When standing, Wire Fox Terriers look like a short-backed hunter horse. On the move, they cover a lot of ground. Until the advance of the mini terrier breeds as companion dogs, for centuries Fox Terriers were by far the most popular member of the family.
They are friendly and sociable with their close companions, but bold and determined on the trail of their mark, on the surface or under the ground.

This is the final game from my "comeback" tournament (previously shown in Annotated Game #14 and Annotated Game #16). Against a strong Class A player, I face the London System for the first (and only) time in tournament play. My lack of familiarity with the position-type shows, as I try to apply some standard ideas from the Slav and other d4/d5 openings with poor results. White seizes the initiative with 8. g4! but fails to put Black away, while at the same time creating some weaknesses in his own camp. Black shows tenacity by continuing to look for counterthreats and then seizes the moment after White overlooks a mating pattern with two bishops.
In this tournament I scored 2/3 against an opposition with an average 2026 rating, resulting in a 2149 performance rating. Statistically that is not meaningful across a whole career. However, it at least showed that I am capable of playing level with Expert rated opposition in a tournament. Certainly my opponents helped me achieve this result, but that's all part of the performance aspect of chess. In that context, it's worth noting that I played at a much higher level in the loss (#16) than I did in this win.
For future annotated games, I intend to have them be a mix of past tournament games, starting chronologically from this point on in my career, and contemporary training games. I find it encouraging that my chess knowledge has increased to the point where I can easily recognize common flaws in my play, including certain types of positional understanding and patterns of thinking. This game again demonstrates a past ignorance of the relative value of minor pieces and how/when it is best to exchange them, for example the key role of the White knight on e5. My contemporary play also reflects a "hangover" of these past practices - it is very hard to eradicate bad habits - but acknowledging the problem is the first step to fixing it.

Ghana Parliament approves 2022 Budget

Parliament Tuesday approved the 2022 Budget Statement and Economic Policy of the Government. The decision was after 137 members on the Majority side voted by voice to restore the Budget, which was earlier rejected by the House on Friday, November 26, 2021.
The decision was after 137 members on the Majority side voted by voice to restore the Budget, which was earlier rejected by the House on Friday, November 26, 2021.
There were 138 Majority Members of Parliament (MPs), in attendance, including Mr Joseph Osei-Owusu, the First Deputy Speaker and MP for Bekwai, who presided over the proceedings in the House.
The Minority members of the House were absent from the Chamber during the proceedings in the House.
Mr Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the Majority Leader, in moving the motion to overturn the earlier decision of the Budget, cited Order 109 of the Standing Orders of Parliament and fortified it by Article 104 (1) of the Constitution.
He said the 137 Minority members, who rejected the Budget, did not meet the acid test established by the Constitution under Article 104 (1).
He, therefore, came under Standing Order 50 (1) to move that the Speaker properly proposed for determination the question on the motion moved by Finance Minister, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta, for the Budget Statement and Economic Policy of the Government for the year ending December 31, 2022.
After the application was made by the Majority Leader, the First Deputy Speaker, ordered for a head count of all MPs present, including himself, which stood at 138.
He, however, explained later that he counted himself for the records and not to cast a vote.
Some members of Parliament, including Madam Sarah Adwoa Safo, MP for Dome Kwabenya, who had been away for some time, were present to vote.
In rejecting the Budget on Friday, the Minority side asked the Government to exclude the proposed electronic transaction levy and the Agyapa Royalties Deal in its revised budget.
The Government should also invest in the Blekusu Sea Defence Wall to stem the tidal waves devastating Keta in the Volta Region and also review the benchmark values on imported products.
Governance and economic experts have since urged both sides of the divide to dialogue and address the contentious matters for the Budget to be passed in the best interest of Ghanaians.

François-Gabriel Joseph du Chasteler de Courcelles (Bergen, 20 maart 1744 – Luik, 11 oktober 1789) was een Zuid-Nederlands edelman en historicus-genealoog.

Familie
Hij was een zoon van markies Jean-François du Chasteler (1691-1764), heer van Courcelles en Moulbaix, voorzitter van de Provinciale Staten van Henegouwen, en van zijn tweede echtgenote Marie-Claire du Sart (1716-1758). Hij had een jongere broer, François du Chasteler de Moulbaix, en een zus, Marie-Josèphe du Chasteler, die trouwde met graaf Guillaume de Baillencourt (1708-1775), officier in Spaanse dienst.

In 1762 trouwde hij met gravin Albertine de Thürnheim (1742-1765), van Oostenrijkse adel. Hij hertrouwde in 1767 met de protestantse barones Catherine Hasselaer (1738-1792), dochter van Gerard Aernout Hasselaer, burgemeester van Amsterdam en directeur van de Oost-Indische Compagnie. Zij was de weduwe van Lieve Geelvinck, zoon van de burgemeester van Amsterdam Lieve Geelvinck. Het echtpaar scheidde in 1776. Uit het eerste huwelijk had hij:
 Jean-Gabriel du Chasteler (1763-1825), die opklom tot generaal in het Oostenrijkse leger en zijn carrière beëindigde als gouverneur van Venetië.
 Philippine du Chasteler (°1764), die trouwde met Victor d'Ennetières d'Hust.
 Marie-Joséphine du Chasteler (°1765), die trouwde met Frédéric d'Ennetières d'Hust.
Uit het tweede huwelijk had hij:
 Gérard du Chasteler (°1770).

Levensloop
François-Gabriel was pas achttien toen hij tot kamerheer van de keizerin werd benoemd. Hij promoveerde in 1761 in de rechten aan de universiteit van Leuven. Op eenentwintig jaar werd hij luitenant van de hellebaardiers bij het hof in Brussel en officier in de adellijke wacht van boogschutters. Hij werd lid van de Tweede stand van de Staten van Henegouwen en later ook nog in die van Namen en Brabant. Hij werd gouverneur van de stad en de proosdij van Binche.

In 1778 werd zijn studie Principales expéditions des Belges dans les pays lointains bekroond door de Koninklijke Academie in Brussel. Hij werd hetzelfde jaar lid van deze academie, waar hij in 1786 de directeur van was. Hij organiseerde binnen de academie een comité historique, die de ambitie had in concurrentie te treden met de bollandisten, die het quasi-monopolie van de historische opzoekingen hadden.

Hij ondernam genealogische opzoekingen en publiceerde een Généalogie de la maison du Chasteler (642-1763). Hierin betoogde hij (op dubieuze gronden) dat de familie du Chasteler dezelfde voorouders had als de prinsen van Lotharingen. Hij hoopte zelfs een prinselijke titel te verkrijgen, maar dit ging niet door. Hij slaagde evenmin in genealogische processen tegen de Franse familie van de graven van Châtelet, eerst voor de Grote Raad van Mechelen, vervolgens voor het parlement van Parijs. Dit mondde uit op een arbitrage tussen de families, in 1783.

Kort voor zijn dood werd hij 'Grande d'España' benoemd, door bemiddeling van zijn zus, de gravin de Baillencourt, die gezelschapsdame van de Spaanse koningin was.

Vrijmetselaar
Du Chasteler werd een actief vrijmetselaar.

Hij werd in 1778 Grootinspecteur van de Provinciale Grootloge. Hij volgde in 1786 graaf Nicolas d'Arberg op als adjunct-grootmeester onder markies François du Mont de Gages binnen de Grootloge van de Oostenrijkse Nederlanden.

In 1771 was in Brussel de loge 'L'Heureuse Rencontre' opgericht, en met enige tegenzin door markies de Gages erkend, omdat de leden van eerder bescheiden komaf waren. Hieraan werd vlug verholpen en weldra waren zoveel leden van de hoge adel lid geworden dat men deze loge 'le rendez-vous de la noblesse' ging noemen. Du Chasteler werd er achtbare meester van in 1777-1778 en in 1786.

Hij klom op tot de hoge graad van 'Rozenkruiser'.

"This year, my second graders had the privilege of working with author, Simone Mets, and it was a truly amazing experience! Students learned about the writing process, how writers find ideas, and tips for making their writing come to life. In addition, they participated in hands-on activities and challenges that extended the message of her heartwarming book, Very Christmas. Simone's approach is exciting, engaging, interactive, and informative. Most importantly, Simone teaches every child that he/she has a story to tell,…every child is a writer. From her grand entrance into our classroom in her glowing shoes, to the sprinkling of glittery fairy dust, Simone's visit is a celebration of creativity, imagination, and storytelling. As teacher, all I needed to do was sit back and watch the magic unfold.
After her visit, students couldn't wait write, write, write! One of the things that makes Simone's visit so unique is her engagement with the students. Whether in small groups or one-to-one, Simone took the time to connect with each of the students in my class. Her advice about writing, her emphasis on the importance of imagination, and her passion for sharing great stories made her visit the highlight of our year! "

From Russia, With Swords
by Staff Report May 30, 2018 May 29, 2018
Wushu – the Chinese term for martial arts – is both an art form, and a full-contact sport which comprises largely of traditional Chinese martial arts.
"It's not just about the physical. It's mental. It's how you think, how you live, how you deal with life. Wushu made me who I am today," 25-year-old Amina Materukhina says as she strolls onto the football field at Santa Monica College holding several swords and a long wooden stick. Having become a wushu world junior champion at age 13, Materukhina is now at Santa Monica College to start the school's first wushu club, Wushu SMC.
Competitive Wushu is composed of two disciplines: Taolu (forms) and Sanda (sparring). An athlete versed in wushu will be proficient in fighting, grappling, acrobatics, stances, kicks, punches, throws, sweeps, as well as being able to handle both short and long weapons – such as Materukhina's striking, elegant long sword, now slung over her shoulder.
Materukhina was born in Moscow, and her parents – who work in education – were fans of martial arts. They sent both her and her brother to a wushu class – but Amina was the one who excelled when she started at the age of four.
By the time she was five, she entered a free government-run, full-time wushu school. She then crammed a traditional education alongside Mandarin classes, training in many of the social, mental, spiritual and cultural aspects of Chinese culture and thinking, and hours of wushu.
The training was intense. Materukhina enjoyed it but was aware it was a lifestyle of discipline and dedication. "If you sleep less than eight hours, you can't perform," she said. "You can't drink alcohol. You must eat well. You stay focused."
At the age of nine, Materukhina won her first International Junior Championship in China. In 2006, Materukhina became the wushu world junior champion at the age of 13. At age 16 she entered Moscow State University, where she gained a degree in Economics, she competed in her final world junior championship her last year of University. She started to teach wushu and found out that she had a gift for sharing her knowledge with students. Two degrees later, Materukhina decided to take on a new challenge: America.
In 2017, Materukhina entered Santa Monica College to start studying Kinesiology. "It makes it more interesting because I'm studying in a language which is not mine," she explains. After finding support and encouragement from the professors in her department, Materukhina came up with the idea to start a wushu club at SMC.
"It wasn't hard to find people who wanted to learn," she says. Like most clubs at SMC, there is no payment required, and the club meets twice a week on Tuesdays at 5 p.m. and Fridays at 12:30 p.m. in the Core Performance Center in room 218. Materukhina patiently teaches fellow students with a quiet, focused dedication while a large, shaggy dog sits watching in the corner.
Materukhina admits she sometimes misses competing professionally, but continues a regular practice for herself, and now has time for other pursuits, including surfing and yoga. Her ferocious desire for knowledge is also satisfied by the continual challenge of studying in yet another language – English – she is determined to master in addition to her native Russian and proficient Mandarin.
The logo for the club features a graphic version of a photograph of Amina. In it, she's flying vertically, ponytail swinging, her body suspended, for a moment, in the air. "I love wushu. It changed my life. I want to share that with people" she says, smiling, and then walks away before turning back. "When are you coming to practice? I'll be waiting for you."

Gradual phasing-out of pandemic collateral easing measures
Prepared by Charlotte Bakker, Luca Bortolussi, Mark Büssing-Lörcks, Adina-Elena Fudulache, Diana Gomes, Iskra Pavlova and Stephan Sauer[1]
Published as part of the ECB Economic Bulletin, Issue 3/2022.
Collateral easing measures have played a key role in the ECB's monetary policy response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, facilitating access to Eurosystem credit operations. The temporary collateral measures (summarised in Figure A) were introduced in April 2020 to ensure that the banking sector could expand its access to central bank liquidity on favourable terms via the Eurosystem's liquidity-providing credit operations (mainly targeted longer-term refinancing operations or TLTRO III), allowing it to continue to cover the funding needs of the euro area economy.[2] More specifically, these measures were introduced to serve the following three interconnected primary objectives.
Pre-empting shortages of eligible collateral: all measures were introduced pre-emptively to avoid shortages of eligible collateral in case of increased demand for liquidity. This facilitated banks' access to ample central bank liquidity on favourable terms, contributing to the large take-up of TLTRO III, thereby transmitting the stimulus smoothly to the broader economy.
Adding flexibility to the collateral framework: some of the measures provided national central banks (NCBs) with additional flexibility to address the collateral needs of domestic banks, e.g. by allowing loans with government/public-sector guarantees under COVID-19 schemes that were not fully compliant with the requirements for the general collateral framework to be mobilised under national additional credit claims (ACC) frameworks.
Countering adverse procyclical feedback effects: falling asset prices and potential rating downgrades could have increased pressure on collateral availability, potentially creating uncertainty about individual banks' access to central bank liquidity. To prevent procyclical feedback loops and ultimately safeguard and restore favourable lending conditions for the real economy, a number of measures were thus introduced. These included maintaining the eligibility of certain marketable assets which met the minimum credit quality requirements on 7 April 2020 but whose credit ratings subsequently deteriorated below the minimum rating threshold (the "eligibility freeze") and temporarily reducing valuation haircuts.
Collateral easing measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
Source: Box 1entitled "TLTRO III and collateral easing measures" of the article entitled "TLTRO III and bank lending conditions", Economic Bulletin, Issue 6, ECB, September 2021.
Notes: "ACC" refers to additional credit claims, "ABS" refers to asset-backed securities and "CQS" refers to credit quality step, as defined in the Eurosystem credit assessment framework. In addition to the measures outlined in Figure A, it should be noted that some NCBs created new ACC frameworks or expanded their existing ACC frameworks with features already acceptable before the pandemic.
The ECB's collateral easing measures made a significant contribution to increasing the volume of eligible collateral. Overall, ECB staff estimates indicate that total collateral value attributable to the easing measures stood at around €285 billion (roughly 10%) of the total €2,794 billion of collateral mobilised at the end of February 2022. This means they contributed around 23% of the €1,236 billion total increase in collateral positions (Chart A). The contribution from collateral easing measures was predominantly driven by the temporary haircut reduction and the extensions to the ACC frameworks of NCBs, which jointly accounted for more than 90% of the total effect.

The first observation shows the composition of collateral before the outbreak of the pandemic, on 27 February 2020. The cross-shaded areas in the bars on the right-hand side show the total collateral value due to collateral easing measures for the respective asset category on 24 February 2022.
Phasing-out in three steps
On 24 March 2022, the Governing Council announced its decision to gradually phase out the pandemic collateral easing measures.[3] The decision reflected the expected decline over time of banks' demand for liquidity, as TLTRO III operations will gradually mature. The ECB also assessed the efficiency of the different measures from a financial risk perspective, expressed in terms of temporary collateral expansion relative to changes in the Eurosystem's risk protection. In particular, the temporary haircut reduction shows a higher ratio of financial risk per unit of exposure than the other collateral easing measures. The assessment further considered the extent to which the specific initial policy motivation was still relevant, e.g. allowing banks to mobilise collateral more quickly thanks to reduced reporting requirements.
The gradual phasing-out is scheduled to take place in three steps and gives banks time to adapt to the adjustments to the collateral framework.
In the first step, starting on 8 July 2022, the ECB will halve the temporary reduction in collateral valuation haircuts across all assets from the current 20% adjustment to 10%. This allows a gradual restoration of pre-pandemic risk tolerance levels and reduces the Eurosystem's financial risks associated with the haircut reduction. The haircut reduction accounts for approximately 40% of the total collateral value generated by the collateral easing measures. The partial reversal provides an appropriate lead time for banks to adjust their collateral mobilisation. The ECB will also phase out a set of measures with more limited impact and scope: i) the ECB will no longer maintain the eligibility freeze for downgraded marketable assets; ii) the ECB will restore the limit on unsecured debt instruments issued by any single other banking group in a credit institution's collateral pool from 10% to 2.5%; iii) the ECB will phase out the temporary easing of several technical requirements for the eligibility of ACCs, mainly relating to fully restoring the frequency of ACC loan-level reporting requirements for pools, as well as the acceptance requirements for banks' own credit assessments by internal rating-based systems.
In the second step, in June 2023, the ECB expects to implement a new valuation haircut schedule based on its pre-pandemic risk tolerance level for credit operations, phasing out the temporary reduction in collateral valuation haircuts completely. Details of the new haircut schedule will be announced in due course and be based on the results of the forthcoming regular review of the ECB's risk control framework.[4]
In the third step, in March 2024, the ECB will, in principle, phase out the remaining pandemic collateral easing measures. The Governing Council will take the final decision following a comprehensive review of the ACC frameworks, taking into account banks' collateral needs for continuing to participate in Eurosystem credit operations, including TLTRO III transactions running until December 2024. The measures in place until March 2024 include acceptance of various ACCs introduced during the pandemic, in particular loans guaranteed by the government and certain public-sector entities. These have significantly contributed to collateral availability since the start of the pandemic. Specifically, guaranteed loans mobilised account for around 40% of total collateral value generated by the collateral easing measures. NCBs may nevertheless decide to terminate some or all of their ACC frameworks earlier than this, for example if limited use is being made of them.
Minimum credit quality waiver for Greek government bonds to be continued
The Governing Council has decided to continue to allow NCBs to accept Greek government bonds (GGBs) that do not satisfy the Eurosystem's minimum credit quality requirements but fulfil all other applicable collateral eligibility criteria. This applies for at least as long as reinvestments in GGBs under the pandemic emergency purchase programme (PEPP) continue. The Governing Council introduced this waiver for using GGBs as collateral on 7 April 2020, on a temporary basis and subject to a specific haircut schedule, following the inclusion of GGBs in the PEPP, which was agreed on 18 March 2020. The extension of the measure is based on multiple additional considerations, including the need to continue to prevent fragmentation in access to Eurosystem monetary policy operations, which would impair the proper functioning of the transmission of policy to the Greek economy while it is still recovering from the pandemic. Other considerations include the fact that Greece remains subject to regular post-programme reviews of its economic and financial situation and benefits from disbursements under the Recovery and Resilience Facility, subject to the successful implementation of its reform agenda.
The Eurosystem's monetary policy framework grants the Governing Council discretion to deviate from the assessments of credit rating agencies (CRAs) if warranted, avoiding mechanistic reliance on their ratings. The discretion to avoid mechanistic use of CRA ratings is stated under Article 159 of the ECB's General Documentation for monetary policy implementation.[5] It is in line with Principle III.1 of the Financial Stability Board's principles for reducing reliance on CRA ratings.[6] Previous examples of the application of this discretion include waivers of minimum credit quality requirements for several countries during the euro area sovereign debt crisis. Another example of this is the eligibility freeze adopted on 22 April 2020 and phased out from 8 July 2022, as described above.

Q: Can't send keys selenium webdriver python Trying to execute simple test
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

driver.get('http://google.com')
driver.find_element_by_name('q')
driver.send_keys('hey')

And getting the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/webdriver/test.py", line 8, in <module>
    driver.send_keys('hey')
AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'send_keys'

What's the problem?

A: WebDriver instance does not have send_keys() method. That's what the error is actually about:

'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'send_keys'

Call send_keys() on a WebElement instance which is returned by find_element_by_*() methods - find_element_by_name() in your case:
element = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
element.send_keys("hey")

And just FYI, there is also an ActionChains class which is useful do build up chains of actions or apply more complex actions like drag&drop or mouse move. It's an overhead in this case, but just for the sake of an example:
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(element).send_keys("hey").perform()

A: You must change the reference element
driver.get('http://google.com')
elem.find_element_by_name('q')
elem.send_keys('hey')

A: Did you try changing your reference element.
It would be a good practice if you call webdriver using different reference.
Your code after changing reference.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('http://google.com')
#Firefox Webdriver is created and navigated to google.

elem = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
elem.send_keys('hey',Keys.RETURN)
#Keys.RETURN = Pressing Enter key on keyboard

time.sleep(5)
driver.close()

A: I had faced same issue, but I got solution for that.
Use move_to_element in ActionChains.

*

*Find element. elem = driver.find_element_by_*

*create your actionchain driver actions = ActionChains(driver)

*use move to command, so webdriver will point to that element's position, but before you send key, you need to set webdriver position on that element by using click() function. Now, webdriver has a surface area to place given keys (data) and for that you will use send_keys() function. In the last just put perform() function to execute these all task very smoothly.
actions.move_to_element(<ELEMENT>).click().send_keys(<DATA>).perform()
https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/api.htmlt
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

driver.get('http://google.com')
elem = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(elem).click().send_keys('hey').perform()

A: The problem with your code is you have not tell driver where to send the keys

    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

    driver = webdriver.Firefox()

    driver.get('http://google.com')
    driver.find_element_by_name('q')
    driver.send_keys('hey') // driver dont know where to send the keys

correct code would be :

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

driver.get('http://google.com')
goog = driver.find_element_by_name('q') // you have stored element in goog variable
goog.send_keys('hey') // you told variable to send hey

or

you can directly send after finding the element like :

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

driver.get('http://google.com')
driver.find_element_by_name('q').send_keys('hey')

If it helps so please accept the answer !!

A: Its with the version of selenium which is causing the issue. I faced the same issue.
Its with the selenium version 3.3.3 which has the compatibility problem.
Try:
pip uninstall selenium
pip install selenium==3.3.1
Hope it works.

Q: Solution to Schrödinger equation $ \partial_t f(x,t) = -\partial_x^2 f(x,t) + \delta(t)V(x)f(x,t).$ I want to solve
$$ i\partial_t f(x,t) = -\partial_x^2 f(x,t) + \delta(t-t_0)V(x)f(x,t),$$
for any $V \in C^{\infty}[-1,1]$ and $f: [-1,1] \times \mathbb{R_{\ge 0}} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$.
I would consider this to be solved if I have one/two ODEs that just depend on either $x$ or $t$ (or an integral transform etc.). My boundary conditions shall be taken such, that I specify a $f(.,0)$ for some $t_0 \in \mathbb{R}$. and look how this solution propagates under this ODE. The other boundary conditions shall be time-independent.
I also noticed that this equation is similar to many diffusion equations and found a similar differential operator here at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green%27s_function#Table_of_Green.27s_functions
This question is a particular example of my unsolved question here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/843106/solve-pde-by-getting-two-odes

Government's Shameful Hypocrisy Exposed
July 21, 2018 by Philip Leave a Comment
Media Release Saturday 21st July 2018
Right to Life is appalled at the government's embarrassing inconsistency in defending human rights. While the Minister of Justice, Andrew Little is commended for his principled high moral stand on Australia's Foreign Correspondent programme this week, he is nevertheless being hypocritical. He warned that Australia was in breach of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in its detention of a 17 year old New Zealander.
Andrew Little lambasted Australia's lack of "humanitarian ideals" and its "breach of human rights". He continued to hold the high moral ground by saying "it seems to me that there is a venal political strain to all this," Andrew Little in representing the New Zealand government at the periodic review of our human rights by the United Nations Committee reviewing our performance on the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights at Geneva in April this year, claimed that "New Zealand has a strong human rights record", but this is not so.
Right to Life challenges these Ministers on taking the high moral ground in criticising the Australian government on its human rights performance in respect to the detention of one teenager on the grounds of our excellent human rights record? Why? These Ministers are in shameful denial of our own appalling human rights record. Since 1978, 500,000 unborn children have been murdered in mostly Public Hospitals in abortions sanctioned and funded by the government; this is an appalling violation of human rights which is an intolerable burden on the conscience of the nation. For how long must we endure this killing of the innocent and the wounding of their mothers, the second victim of abortion?
It is this Minister of Justice acting on the direction of the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and with the approval of the Acting Prime Minister who has written to the President of the Law Commission directing that the Commission provide advice to the Minister on how abortion may be treated as a "reproductive issue of choice for women" and not an issue for the Crimes Act. The Minister and his government believe that the killing of the unborn is not a crime and is a health issue. This is an unprecedented and cowardly attack on the human rights of our precious unborn who are the weakest and most defenceless members of the human family.
The Ministers are conspiring to deceive the community under the smoke screen of a phony abortion law review by the Law Commission by claiming that when we kill an unborn child we do no harm because we do not kill anybody with human rights. When is the media which is supposed to be at the service of the community, going to expose this diabolical and evil plot of the government to murder our unborn classified as unwanted as a reproductive health service? When too are the Churches who have a duty to God to defend life, going to speak up in defence of God's precious infants?

"Legalized euthanasia might lead us to dangerous excesses and would be contrary to our understanding of the dignity of human beings. The Leonetti law is perfectly balanced, establishing a principle, that of respect for life. It leaves room for a dialogue between the patient, his family and his physician. This demonstrates understanding and humanity. We do not have to legislate everything all the time."

Dear L.U.: You may well ask. The nice part about being new to the site is that you get to avoid the ruts that many longtime users are stuck in. Chief among these, says Katie Fogarty, is "not taking LinkedIn seriously enough." A former TV news writer and public-relations person, Fogarty runs a consulting service (not affiliated with LinkedIn) called LinkedIn Reboot, coaching executives on how to use it as a tool for advancing their careers.
"Everyone needs a presence on LinkedIn today, but it's a little like doing your taxes," she says. "People don't think they're 'good at networking,' so they put off doing anything about it." Until, that is, they're looking for a new job. So the typical LinkedIn profile is just a resume, listing someone's titles and what they were responsible for in each role so far, and letting it go at that.
Calendar. On the theory that what gets scheduled gets done, Fogarty recommends blocking off a regular slot on your calendar — even if it's only an hour a week, or even every two weeks — to spend time on LinkedIn. Get in the habit of keeping your profile up to date and checking out what your connections are up to, including what's new in any groups (alumni, professional, corporate) you may have joined.
Care. Networking, online or anywhere else, is "always a two-way street," says Fogarty. "If you happen to see a job opening on LinkedIn that seems like a good fit for someone you know, for example, send it along." Likewise with articles you come across that might interest one of your connections, or recommendations you can add to their profiles. The more helpful you can be to the people you know online, the more likely it is that they'll return the favor.

Energetic Properties of Colloids in Spinning Magnetic Field
Written by AZoNanoDec 13 2018
If a merry-go-round rotates very fast, the riders will be thrown off in all directions. However, at Rice University lab, spinning particles do just the opposite.
Rice University graduate student Elaa Hilou set up an experiment to study the effect of a spinning magnetic fields on a colloid of micron-sized magnetic particles. Videos show how the particles organize themselves in fields of different strength. (Image credit: Jeff Fitlow)
Experiments in the Rice lab of chemical engineer Sibani Lisa Biswal, reveal micron-sized spheres coming together under the impact of a speedily spinning magnetic field. That's not novel as the particles themselves are magnetized.
But how they come together is of importance - the particles first collect into a disorganized aggregated cluster and then into a crystal-like regimen as the magnetic field gains more strength.
Results of the research, led by Biswal and graduate student Elaa Hilou, have been published in Physical Review Materials. The researchers believe it will inspire ways to study, model and create novel 2D materials like colloids or tunable catalysts that can alter their surface area on demand.
Experiments exposed shapes, boundaries, phase transitions and the creation and resolution of crystal-like defects as between 300 and 1,500 magnetized spheres followed their energetic impulses under the moving field's impact.
"I have been presenting this as a miniaturized version of a fidget spinner where we use the magnetic field to generate an isotropic interaction around the particles," Biswal said. "We can create particle ensembles that are loosely to very tightly packed by the strength of that interaction."
That fascinated Biswal and Hilou, but not as much as what they observed happening near the edges, where line tension formed by the outermost particles defined the ultimate shape of the arrays.
Think about a soap bubble. It always forms a sphere, even when you try to deform it. That's because surface tension wants to minimize its surface area. It's the same for our system but in two dimensions. The interactions are always trying to minimize what we call the line tension.
Elaa finds the Gibbs interface and measures the energy at that interface where it goes from many particles thick (at low magnetic field strengths) to nearly a single particle thick by changing the strength of the interaction. She's done a lot of analysis of the line tension and how it relates to the energetics of the system.
Sibani Lisa Biswal
The subsequent step is to develop physical, movable models for real systems to observe how the constituents react when disturbed.
There's a lot of interest in trying to create models for atomic and molecular systems. Most of that has been done through computational simulations, but here we have an experimental system that can realize structure and processes such as coalescence.
For example, in catalysis, if you want to increase the surface area, you want more voids to facilitate contact between a catalyst and a reaction. By increasing the concentration and controlling the field, we can start to see voids and control the interface relative to the bulk.

Innovative Method to Detect Magnetic Fields of Nanoscale Particles
The method could model emulsions, she said. "Say you have oil and water, and you want to phase-separate them," Hilou said. "In the case of cosmetics and the food industry, you want the emulsions to be stable. We want to be able to mimic their dynamics by controlling particle size and the field strength."
Biswal stated that the technique might also be used to model systems in which temperature, instead of electromagnetism, is the driver. In fields like metallurgy, defects are eliminated "by turning up the temperature to give molecules more freedom to move grain boundaries and voids," she said. "Then they decrease the temperature to lock in the structures."
"What we have is a dial that not only mimics the effects of temperature with a magnetic field but also offers the ability to watch through a microscope what happens in an actual system," Biswal said.
Rice graduate alumnus Di Du, currently a statistical research analyst at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and graduate student Steve Kuei are the paper's co-authors. The National Science Foundation supported the research.

Hi there. I've been performing the sword banishing ritual from Damon Brand's book Magickal Protection for a while, but I really like the Body of Protection and the Circle Banishing ritual from Ben Woodcroft's book Angelic Protection Magick. Is one protection ritual stronger than the other and provide better protection or would you say that the rituals are pretty much equivalent and it's just preference to which one someone likes and performs? I look forward to your reply. Thank you so much.
I'm pleased to hear you like Ben's book. I believe personal preference based on experience always plays a role. Regards, Chris Wood.
Thank you for this book! I hope you publish many more.
The LBRP always felt "tangled up" to me, and your splitting things up into 3 separate rituals, one for each distinct purpose, was an elegant solution. The illumination ritual alone is priceless – I can hardly believe you included a secret of such value in this book.
I worked the circle banishing, body of protection, and the illumination, and then the Jupiter ritual from Henry's book, and WOW. The power was amazing.
I eagerly await any new books you may publish.
Thank you. I agree with you about the 'elegant solution'. Regards, Chris Wood.
Hello and sorry for the late reply. Comments had been coming up but I hadn't received alerts. Yes, there will be an FAQ and new questions can be asked there. I hope to publish the FAQ page in August, with contributions from the authors. It will remain open to be questions and where relevant there will be answered.
This is a gem. No more Golden D stuff.


Ta-dah! Here is block 2 in the Sew Let's Quilt Along and how cute is this mug block?! Head on over to Janda Bend Quilts to download the pattern.
While April's pattern calls for printed or embroidered lettering and I have an absolute thing about words on quilts, I decided to fussy cut the central panel of the mug. My printer is currently having problems printing just with black ink and no one can quite figure out why. (And yes, I have replaced the cartridge. Twice!) I've been looking for a project to showcase this pretty fabric for quite a while and with that lovely big centre, April's mug seemed just perfect!
This mug block is a quick, straightforward pattern but as always you will get best results with accurately cut pieces and an exact 1/4″ seam allowance. If you need tips on how to do this, my test your seam allowance post will help!
When it comes to cutting out your pieces, if you are using a directional print carefully consider the orientation before cutting. You will see below that some of my stripes are cut vertically and some horizontally depending on how the piece will be positioned in the final layout.
If you are printing the words onto your block, you will need to do so before you begin any sewing.
You create the base of the mug with stitch and flip corners but you're all very familiar with those after completing the sewing machine pattern, right?! If not, check out my section on 'Stitch And Flip Corners' in the block one post!
To recap in brief, rule diagonal lines on the reverse of the background squares and stitch just within those lines.
Trim off the corners leaving a 1/4″ seam allowance and press seams open so you have a mug base that looks something like this.
In block 2, the handle is then pieced separately and the two units are joined together. Once you've added a couple of pieces to the top and bottom, your block is done!
We'd love to have you quilt along with us. If you like what you see, join our Facebook group and tag your friends. Through the group, you will get access to the patterns as they are released and you will be able to see all the different interpretations of the blocks.
For my details on this quilt along, read my introductory post.
Leave me a comment below as I love to hear from you! Follow me on Facebook and Instagram or sign up to my blog to see my latest patterns and tutorials. I hope you enjoyed this post!
This year we are organising the sew along differently. Rather than a prize draw for completing each block, there will be a prize draw for completing each segment. This is to facilitate those who just want to use the blocks to make small projects rather than a full quilt.
