TEFILAH
Tish'ah b'Av is the only decreed fast day that resembles the fasts for rain that were once observed in Eretz Yisrael - we begin on the night before, and observe five Inuyim. That being the case, why don't we recite Selichos and Ne'ilah on Tish'ah b'Av? Why isn't work prohibited?

9 AV ON SHABBOS
What is the level of the obligation to fast on Tish'ah b'Av? When Tish'ah b'Av falls on Shabbos, how does Shabbos push aside that obligation?
Are any aspects of Tish'ah b'Av observed on Shabbos itself?
What should our perspective be during this Shabbos meal that leads into Tish'ah b'Av? How should the meal be conducted, and why do Chazal compare it to "the meal of Shlomo in his time"?

In most years we conclude the practices of mourning at midday on the 10th of Av. As such, when Tish'ah b'Av falls on Shabbos and is postponed to Sunday the 10th of Av, why don't we similarly ease its restrictions at midday?
When a Bris Milah falls on a postponed Tish'ah b'Av, do the Ba'alei Bris (the father, Mohel, Sandek) complete the fast? What source is cited from the Gemara?
