This year marks Green Flash Brewing Co.'s first under Brewmaster Erik Jensen's leadership, and with great brewing power comes great brewing responsibility. That's why Jensen has stacked the beer deck in Green Flash's favor with offerings such as the inaugural debut of Passion Fruit Kicker, an American Wheat Ale with Passion Fruit, and Tangerine Soul Style, a Tangerine India Pale Ale. With it's 2016 lineup, Green Flash is walking the tightrope between go-to favorites and exciting experimental offerings from Jensen's deliciously demented brewing mind.
Kicking-off the year is Tangerine Soul Style, an IPA that delivers a punch of tangerine citrus flavor and will be available nationwide for the first time this month. Brewed with American malts and a blend of Citra and Cascade hops — plus the addition of real tangerine puree added post-fermentation — it's a variation on Green Flash's Soul Style released in 2014. Also available this month is Passion Fruit Kicker, Green Flash's take on the American Wheat Beer style. This drinkable wheat ale has a sweet, tart, fruity flavor via cold steeped passion fruit tea from local San Diego Tea Gallerie and real passion fruit concentrate.
In keeping with Green Flash's reputation for craft beer innovation Cosmic Ristretto Baltic Porter with Espresso, the first graduate of the Genius Lab pilot brewing program, will be released this February. The bold, complex, java-centric (a "ristretto" is a concentrated shot of espresso) brew was originally brewed by Brewers Kevin Barnes and Ron Angelo Jr., and has previously only been available in Green Flash's San Diego tasting room. Cosmic Ristretto has an intense coffee flavor via the addition of espresso extract, plus caramel characteristics derived from Candico, a caramelized Belgian candy sugar that is added directly to the kettle and fermented out.
The Genius Lab program, launched in 2013, offers everyone at Green Flash an opportunity to brew original, small-batch brews under the guidance of Brewmaster Erik Jensen. The 5-barrel pilot system was designed to be one-tenth the size of the Green Flash's production brewery (50 barrels). The scaled down system allows team members to explore different styles and techniques with relatively good confidence that it can be repeated on the full-size system. The first Genius Lab brew to be scaled up was Jensen's inaugural recipe for Green Flash, Golden Naked Promise, bottled for the 2015 National Homebrewers Conference in San Diego.
Also previously available in Green Flash's San Diego tasting room is Dia de los Serranos, a Double Stout with Serrano Chiles that has been likened to Mexican hot chocolate. Due to its popularity, it will debut in 22-ounce bottles in February. The rich brew features a caliente kick of fresh Serrano Chiles which are processed by hand to remove the stems and then steeped at a high temperature for one hour, the solution is later added to the fermented beer. Dia de los Serranos was first poured as a cask creation by Brewer Joe Lisica.
Sea to Sea Session Lager, a tribute to Green Flash's Virginia Beach, Va., brewery slated to open later this year, will arrive in May — just in time for summer. A take on the traditional all-American lager, Sea to Sea is a hybrid European-American Pilsner crafted with German and domestic malts. Lightly dry hopped and naturally carbonated, the drinkable lager has a fresh hop aroma and is full of flavor (unlike the ubiquitous fizzy, yellow beer).

Matildas to face Republic of Ireland on September 22
Posted on September 3, 2021 September 3, 2021 by joeylynchy
There will be a little extra green to go with all the gold the next time the Matildas assemble, with Football Australia announcing on Friday evening that coach Tony Gustavsson's side will face the Republic of Ireland in Dublin later this month.
Scheduled for September 22 (Australian time), the friendly at Tallaght Stadium — the home of Irish powers Shamrock Rovers — will be the first-ever meeting between the two sides and represent something of a homecoming for attacking prodigy Mary Fowler, who was the subject of an international tug-of-war between the two nations thanks to her father's Celtic birth.
The Cairns-born 18-year-old became tied to Australia at a senior level when she represented the nation at Tokyo 2020 — a tournament in which she established herself as a likely attacking mainstay in the squad for the coming decade.

After a rusty and disjointed start to life under Gustavsson, the Matildas were able to ride a wave of emotion and grit to the Bronze Medal fixture at those Games, downing Great Britain in a famous quater final win before ultimately going home empty-handed after a 4-3 loss to the United States in the battle for bronze.
Nonetheless, despite breaking the elusive final-eight barrier, the task ahead of a team that their nation hopes will mount a serious challenge on a home World Cup in 2023 remained clear: the centre of defence an area of key concern, midfield play inconsistent and the group ultimately winning just a single game at the tournament — a 2-1 win over New Zealand — within 90 minutes.
Keen to continue improving his unit, their Swedish coach welcomed the opportunity to gather his side once again.
"Like the rest of the country, I was proud of the way the team represented the nation in Japan," said Gustavsson.
"The level of motivation and commitment displayed by the players over the campaign really excites me for what lies ahead, as we work towards the Women's World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023.
"Every time we play an international match, it is an opportunity for this team to reinforce our foundations and truly become one day better. We made a lot of positive strides in our last assembly, and I can't wait to come together once again.

"The last couple of years have demonstrated the impressive growth of women's football internationally and that every nation presents a different challenge that we can learn from. It's vital that we continue to focus on our own progression as a team and every match is key to that mission."
Compared to previous opponents in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Japan, 33rd in the World ranked Éire represent the least credentialled friendly opposition lined up by Football Australia since Gustavsson — who has frequently stated his desire to play as strong opponents as possible — took over in January.
Nonetheless, in the form of players such as Katie McCabe and Denise O'Sullivan, Na cailíní i nglas possess the capability to test Australia's women — especially with home advantage.
"Joining a record number of Australians, I was glued to my screen following the Matildas during their recent campaign," Football Australia CEO James Johnson said.

"During the Games, the passion, desire and pride with which the team represented our nation inspired the Australian public with record-breaking TV audiences; a clear indicator of the connection of the team, and our sport, with the nation.
"We are fully committed to continuing our significant investment into women's football and the Matildas, as we establish the platform for greater numbers of women and girls to fully participate in our game at all levels."
Declaring that they had "a roster of high-quality nations already secured for home matches", Football Australia also said that it was in negotiations with Federal and State Governments to stage the remainders of the Matildas' 2021 fixtures within Australia — the team not having played in Australia since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

\section{Introduction} \label{sec:Introduction}
Let $ w $ be an involution in the symmetric group $S_{n} $. In \cite{MR2184447} Hohlweg proved that the Schubert variety $X_w$ is smooth if and only if $ w $ is the longest element of some parabolic subgroup of $ S_{n} $. He arrived at this result by exploiting Lakshmibai and Sandhya's \cite{Vs} classical pattern avoidance criterion for smoothness of type $A$ Schubert varieties.

 The main result of this paper extends Hohlweg's result to arbitrary finite,
 simply laced types. Namely, if $ W $ is a simply laced Weyl group,
 and $ w\in W $ is an involution, $ X_{w} $ is smooth if and only if $ w $
 is the longest element of a parabolic subgroup of $ W $.

It seems likely that it would be possible to arrive at this result in a case by case fashion using the general root system pattern avoidance criteria for smoothness pioneered by Billey and Postnikov \cite{BP}. Instead of investigating this approach, we provide a uniform proof based on Carrell-Peterson type criteria in terms of the associated Bruhat graphs.

In Section \ref{sec:prel}, we recall properties of Coxeter systems and
Bruhat graphs which can be used to study smoothness of Schubert varieties in a combinatorial way. In Section \ref{sec:main}, we prove Theorem \ref{th:main} which is the main result.

\section{Preliminaries}\label{sec:prel}
In this section some properties of Bruhat graphs of Coxeter groups
are recalled.  For more on these concepts, see e.g.\ \cite{MR2133266}  and
\cite{MR1104786}.

A {\em Coxeter group} is a group $W$ generated by a set $ S $ of {\em simple reflections} $ s $ under relations of the
form $ s^{2}=e $ and $ (ss')^{m(s,s')}=e $ for all $ s,s'\in S $ where $ e $
is the identity element and  $m(s',s)= m(s,s')$  $ \geq 2$ is the order of $ ss' $
for $ s\neq s' $.
The pair $ (W,S) $ is called a {\em Coxeter system}, and each element $ w\in W $ is a
product of generators $s_{i}\in S $, i.e., $ w=s_{1}s_{2}\cdots s_{j} $.
If $ j $ is minimal among all such
expressions
for $ w $, then $ j $ is called the {\em length} of $ w $, denoted $ \ell(w)=j $.
The Coxeter system $ (W,S) $ is {\em simply laced} if $ m(s, s')\leq 3 $
for all  $ s, s' \in S $; otherwise it is {\em multiply laced}.

If $W$ is finite, there exists a {\em longest element} $w_0\in W$. It is an involution and satisfies $\ell(v) < \ell(w_0)$ for all other elements $v\in W$. In fact $w_0$ is the unique element in $w$ such that $\ell(sw_0) < \ell(w_0)$ for all $s\in S$.

From now on let us fix a Coxeter system $(W,S)$. Let
$ T=\lbrace wsw^{-1}:w\in W, s\in S\rbrace $
be the set of {\em reflections} in $ W $.
For $ v,w \in W $  define:
\begin{itemize}
\item [ (i) ]  $ v \rightarrow w $ if $ w=vt $ for some $ t\in T $
with $ \ell(v)<\ell(w) $.
\item[ (ii) ] $ v\leq w $ if $ v=v_{0}\rightarrow v_{1}\rightarrow
\cdots \rightarrow v_{m}=w $ for some $ v_{i}\in W $.
\end{itemize}
The {\em Bruhat graph} $ \Bg{W}{S} $ of $ (W,S) $ is the directed graph whose vertex set
is $ W $ and whose edge set is $ E_{_{\Bg{W}{S}}}=\lbrace (u,w):u\rightarrow w \rbrace $. The {\em Bruhat order} is the partial order relation on $ W $ given by (ii).
\begin{Example}
	Denote by $ W(A_{2}) $ the Coxeter group of type $ A_{2} $ with set of simple reflections $S(A_2) = \{s_1,s_2\}$ satisfying $m(s_1,s_2)=3$. Then $\Bg{W(A_{2})}{S(A_2)} $ is as depicted in Figure \ref{fi:A2}.
	\begin{figure}[H]

		\end{tikzpicture}
		\caption{The Bruhat graph of $ (W(A_{2}),S(A_2))$.}
		\label{fi:A2}
	\end{figure}
\end{Example}
The map $ v\mapsto v^{-1} $ is an automorphism of the Bruhat order:
\begin{Lemma}\label{le:invert}
	For all $ v,w\in W $, $ v< w $ if and only
	if $ v^{-1}< w^{-1} $.
\end{Lemma}
Define the {\em left descent set} of $ w $ as $ D_{L}(w)=\lbrace s\in S:
\ell (sw)<\ell(w)\rbrace $. The following fundamental result about the Bruhat order is sometimes called the {\em Lifting property}.
\begin{Lemma}[Verma \cite{verma}] \label{le:lifting}
	Suppose $ v<w $ and $ s\in D_{L}(w)\setminus D_{L}(v) $.
	Then, $ v\leq sw  $ and $ sv\leq w $.
\end{Lemma}
\subsection{Reflection subgroups}
Maintain the Coxeter system $ (W,S) $ and its set of reflections $T$ as defined above. Then $ W' $ is a {\em reflection subgroup} of $W$ if $ W'=\langle W'\cap T\rangle $. A reflection subgroup $ W' $ is called {\em dihedral} if $ W'=\langle t,t' \rangle  $ for some $ t,t'\in T $, with $ t\neq t' $.

\begin{Lemma}[Dyer \cite{MR1104786}]\label{le:dihedral}
	Suppose $ t_{1}, t_{2}, t_{3}, t_{4}\in T  $ and $ t_{1}t_{2}=t_{3}t_{4}\neq e $.
	Then $ W'=\langle t_{1}, t_{2},  t_{3},  t_{4} \rangle $ is a dihedral reflection
	subgroup of $W$.
\end{Lemma}
It turns out that reflection subgroups of  $ W $ are themselves Coxeter groups.
For $w\in W$, define $ N(w):=\lbrace t\in T: \ell(tw)<\ell(w)\rbrace $. This is the set of {\em inversions} of $w$.
\begin{Theorem}[Deodhar \cite{deodhar}, Dyer \cite{MR1076077}]\label{th:refsubgroup}
	Let $ W' $ be a reflection subgroup of $W$ and define
	$ X=\lbrace t\in T: N(t)\cap W'=\lbrace t \rbrace \rbrace $. Then,
	\begin{itemize}
		\item[(1)] $ W'\cap T= \lbrace ut'u^{-1}:u\in W', t'\in X \rbrace $.
		\item[(2)] $ (W',X) $ is a Coxeter system.
	\end{itemize}
\end{Theorem}

Coxeter described all types of affine groups generated by
reflections and their reflection subgroups \cite{MR1503182}.
The following lemma is a very special
case. It can be seen directly e.g.\ by considering root lengths.

\begin{Lemma}\label{le:simplylaced}
	Every reflection subgroup of a finite simply laced group is itself simply laced.
\end{Lemma}

For any subset $ Y \subseteq W$ define
the Bruhat graph of $ Y $,  denoted $ \Bg{Y}{S} $, as the directed subgraph of
$ \Bg{W}{S}$ induced by $ Y $.

\begin{Theorem}[Dyer \cite{MR1104786}]\label{th:bgisom}
Let $ W' $ be a reflection subgroup of $W$ and let $ X $ be as in Theorem \ref{th:refsubgroup}. Then $\Bg{W'}{S} = \Bg{W'}{X}$.
\end{Theorem}
\subsection{Schubert varieties}
Let $ G $ be an algebraic group over $ \mathbb{C} $ and $ B $ a Borel subgroup containing a maximal torus $T$. Then $ G /B $ is called the {\em flag variety} and it is the disjoint union of
{\em Schubert cells} $ BwB/B $ where $ w\in W $ and $ W = N(T)/T $ is the {\em Weyl group} (which is a finite Coxeter group).
The closure
$ X_{w}:=\overline{BwB/B} $ is called a {\em Schubert variety}.
Note that $ G/B=X_{w_{0}} $
 for $ w_{0} $ the longest element
of $ W $. More on Schubert varieties can be found e.g.\ in \cite{MR1782635}.

Next, we review ways to detect singularities of Schubert varieties by inspecting Bruhat graphs. For a lower interval $ [e,w]=\{z\in W:e\leq z \leq w\} $ write $ \Bg{w}{S} $ for the Bruhat graph of $ [e,w] $. Let $ z $ be a vertex in $\Bg{w}{S}$. The \emph {degree} of $z$, denoted $ \deg_w(z) $, is the number of edges incident to $ z $ in $\Bg{w}{S}$ (where directions of edges are ignored).

The following result holds in any Coxeter group. In that generality it is due to Dyer \cite{MR1202136}. In our context, where $W$ is a (finite) Weyl group, other proofs given by Carrell and Peterson \cite{MR1278700} and Polo \cite{MR1307965} also apply.

\begin{Theorem}\label{th:degree}
Let $ w\in W $. Then the degree of any vertex in $ \Bg{w}{S} $ is at least $\ell(w)$.
\end{Theorem}
In any Bruhat graph $ \Bg{w}{S} $, it is known that $\ell(w)=|N(w)| = \deg_w(w) $.
In particular, if $ \Bg{w}{S} $ is regular (i.e., every vertex of $ \Bg{w}{S} $ has the same number of edges), then $ \deg_w(e)=\ell(w)$.

\begin{Theorem}[Carrell-Peterson \cite{MR1278700}]\label{th:CP}
	The Schubert variety $X_{w}  $ is rationally smooth
	if and only if $ \Bg{w}{S} $ is regular.
\end{Theorem}
Smoothness and rational smoothness are equivalent for simply laced Weyl groups:
\begin{Theorem}[Carrell-Kuttler \cite{MR1953262}]\label{th:simplylaced}
	Suppose $ W $ is simply laced. Then for any $ w \in W$,
	$ X_{w} $ is smooth if and only if it is rationally smooth.
\end{Theorem}

\begin{Corollary}\label{co:simplylaced}
If $ W $ is simply laced then
	$ X_{w} $ is smooth if and only if
	$ \Bg{w}{S} $ is regular.
\end{Corollary}

In general smoothness is stronger than rational
smoothness when $ W $ is not simply laced. For example
$ X_{s_{1}s_{2}s_{1}} $ is rationally smooth but not
smooth if $ W $ is of type $ C_{2} $ generated by the simple reflections $s_1$ and $s_2$ with $ s_1 $ corresponding to the short root.

The next definition provides another characterization which can be used to
prove that a given Schubert variety is not rationally smooth (see Theorem \ref{th:brokenrhombi} below).
\begin{Definition}\label{de:brokenrhombi}
\emph{\cite{MR2802176}}
	Let $ x,u,v\leq w $. The Bruhat interval $ [e,w] $ contains the {\em broken rhombus}
	$ (x,u,v) $ if
	the conditions below are satisfied:
	\begin{itemize}
		\item[(1)] $ x\leftarrow u\rightarrow v $;
		\item[(2)]There is some $ y\in W $  with $ x\rightarrow y\leftarrow  v $;
		\item[(3)] If $ x\rightarrow y\leftarrow v $, then $ y\nleq w $.
	\end{itemize}
\end{Definition}
\begin{Example} \emph{Consider the group $W(D_4)$ of type $D_4$ with set of simple reflections $S(D_4) = \{s_1,s_2,s_3,s_4\}$ where $ m(s_{i},s_{2})=3 $ for $ i=1, 3, 4 $ and
	$ m(s_{i}, s_{j})=2 $ for  $ i, j\neq 2 $. In Figure \ref{fi:D4} is depicted $ \Bg{w}{S(D_4)} $
	for $ w=s_{2}s_{1}s_{3}s_{4}s_{2} $. We use  $ 1,2,3,4 $ for $ s_{1},s_{2},s_{3},s_{4} $ respectively for brevity.
	Thus, for example, $w$ is represented by $ 21342 $.
	 The interval $ [e, w] $
	 contains the broken rhombus $ (s_{2}s_{3} , s_{2}, s_{1}s_{2}) $
	since there is no $ y \le w $
	such that $ s_{2}s_{3}\rightarrow y\leftarrow  s_{1}s_{2} $  although
	$ s_{2}s_{3}\rightarrow s_{1}s_{2}s_{3}\leftarrow  s_{1}s_{2} $. Moreover note that $ \Bg{w}{S(D_4)} $ is not regular. Hence, $ X_{w} $ is not smooth for $ w=s_{2}s_{1}s_{3}s_{4}s_{2}\in W(D_{4}) $.}
\end{Example}
The following is \cite[Theorem 5.3]{MR2802176}.
It can also be obtained from the main result of Dyer \cite{dyer2001rank}.
\begin{Theorem}\label{th:brokenrhombi}
The Schubert variety $ X_{w} $ is rationally smooth if and only if $ [e,w] $ contains no
broken rhombus.
\end{Theorem}
\begin{Corollary}\label{co:brokenrhombi}
	Suppose $ W $ is simply laced and let $ w\in W $.
	Then, the Schubert variety $ X_{w} $ is  smooth if and only if $ [e,w] $ contains no
	broken rhombus.
\end{Corollary}

\section{Schubert varieties indexed by involutions} \label{sec:main}

In this section, which contains the main result, we will consider Schubert
varieties indexed by involutions of finite simply laced groups.

Again let $(W,S)$ be an arbitrary Coxeter system. A {\em parabolic subgroup} of $W$ is a subgroup of the form $W_J = \langle J \rangle$ for $J\subseteq S$. If $ W_J $ is finite its longest element will be denoted by $ w_{0}(J) $.

For $ v\in W $ define $ S(v):=\{s \in S: s \leq v\} $. Then $W_{S(v)}$ is the minimal parabolic subgroup of $W$ which contains $v$.
 \begin{Theorem}\label{th:main}
	Suppose $ (W,S) $ is finite and simply laced
	and let $ v\in W $ be an involution. Then the Schubert variety $ X_{v} $ is
	smooth if and only if $ v=w_{0}(J) $ for some $ J \subseteq S $.
\end{Theorem}

\begin{proof}
  The ``if'' assertion is obvious: $X_{w_0(J)}$ is a (smooth) flag variety. For the ``only if'' direction, let $ v $ be an involution which is not the longest element of any parabolic
	subgroup $ W_{J} $ of $ W $. Since $v\neq w_{0}(S(v)) $, there
	exists $ s \in S(v) $ such that $v<sv $. If $\deg_v(e)\neq \ell(v)$, $\Bg{v}{S}$ is not regular and, by Corollary \ref{co:simplylaced}, $ X_{v} $ is not smooth. Thus, we may assume $ \deg_v(e)=\ell (v) $. Since $ \deg_{sv}(e) $ is the number of $ t\in T $ such that $ t\leq sv $
	and that degree is at least $ \ell(sv) $,
	 there exists a reflection
	$ t \leq sv $  such that $ t\nleq v $. Since $ t\leq sv $,
	by Lemma \ref{le:invert},  $ t^{-1}\leq v^{-1}s $ which implies that
	$ t\leq vs $. Also we must have $ st< t $.
	To see this we use Lemma \ref{le:lifting} in
	the following way: Since $ s\in D_{L}(sv) $,
	if we would have $ t< st $
	then by using the lifting property this would imply that $ t\leqslant ssv=v $
	which is a contradiction. Now since $ st<t $, by Lemma \ref{le:invert} we see that $ ts<t $.
	Because $ ts< t $  and $ t \leq vs $, we have $ ts< vs $.
	Since $ s \not\in D_{L}(st)$, we have $ s\in D_{L}(sv)\setminus D_{L}(st) $ and
	then by Lemma \ref{le:lifting} we get $ st\le v $.
	Consider the dihedral subgroup $ D =\langle s,sts \rangle$  of $ W $.
	Since $ W $ is finite and simply laced, then by Lemma \ref{le:simplylaced},
	$ D $ is also simply laced.
	Then $(D,X)$ is either of type $ A_{1}\times A_{1} $ or of type $ A_{2} $, where $X$ is as in Theorem \ref{th:refsubgroup}.
	By Theorem \ref{th:bgisom} $\Bg{D}{S}$ equals the Bruhat graph of $(D,X)$. Since, moreover, $ st\rightarrow t $, $D$ is not of type $A_{1}\times A_{1}$ and hence $ D $ must be of type $ A_{2} $.
	Therefore, $ D=\left\lbrace  e,s,sts,ts,st,t\right\rbrace $,
	$ \Bg{D}{S} \cong \Bg{W(A_{2})}{S(A_2)}$, and $ \Bg{D}{S} $ is as shown in Figure \ref{fi:bg(D)}.

	\end{figure}
	Now $ ts,st \le v $ but $ t \not \leq v$. From Figure 3,  $ (st,sts,ts) $ is a broken rhombus
	of $ [e,v] $ because there is no
	$ x \le v $ such that there are directed edges from $ st $ and $ ts $
	to $ x $. To see this, suppose that
	$ st\rightarrow x\leftarrow ts $. So there exist $ t', t'' \in  T$ with $ t'\neq t''  $
	such that $ stt'=tst'' $. Then $ t't''=tsts \neq e$.
	By Lemma \ref{le:dihedral} we therefore have a dihedral subgroup $ W'= \langle sts,t,t',t'' \rangle$ of $ W $, and $ W' $ is simply laced since $ W $ is (by Lemma \ref{le:simplylaced}). Clearly $ D\subseteq W' $.
	Since $ W' $ has no more than six elements, $ W'=D $. So $ stt'=x\in D $.
	Since there is a directed edge
	from $ st $ to $ x $,  $ x=t \nleq v$.  Since $ (st,sts,ts) $
	is a broken rhombus of $ [e,v] $, by Corollary \ref{co:brokenrhombi}, $ X_{v} $
	is not smooth.
	\end{proof}

	When $ W $ is not simply laced, there may exist an involution
	$ w\in W $ which is not the longest element of any parabolic subgroup of $ W $ but for which $ X_{w} $ is smooth. For example, in type $ C_{2} $ there are two involutions of length three. One of them indexes a smooth Schubert variety (and, as was mentioned above, the other one indexes a rationally smooth but not smooth Schubert variety). This example shows that Theorem \ref{th:main} cannot be extended to multiply laced types.
	We do, however, not know what happens in infinite simply laced types.

Welcome back to another Be Inspired Team Hop! This week we're focused on all things Flowers and Leaves. Here in the UK, the nights a drawing in and the leaves on the trees are turning brown. My fancy fold card I have for you today is a complete contrast to the season at the moment. If you're just starting on this blog hop, you can continue hopping around all of our posts using the next button at the bottom.
Here's my card in full, we made these at my local monthly class this month. It's a different style for me, I tend just to go for your standard folded card, but I'd like to try all these other fancy folds. This one is called a Z fold card. It is literally two pieces of cardstock, with two score lines each in them. You can make your card as big or small as you'd like, the fold in the centre can be narrow or wider like mine, you choose the size. As long as you have your score lines the same the Z fold will work.
This card is a different pattern paper, can you see how you can open up the card?
The base cardstock is Thick Whisper White, I adore this cardstock and I'm so grateful that we have it. It's my go-to card for making great quality card bases. Being in the UK, our cardstock is A4 in size, 21 x 29.7 cm. Which is narrower and taller than the US size of 8.5″ x 11″. If you'd like to have a go at making this card, I have a free PDF download of these instructions for you. Please note that the instructions are in centimetres only at the moment.
With the theme of today's hop being Flowers and Leaves, you really cannot get more floral than the Painted Autumn Pattern Papers and the coordinating Painted Harvest stamp set. This month's Craft Box is Painted Autumn, so if you fancy trying out these them you can find it here.
Thank you for visiting today, next up on the hop is a superman Brian King. Enjoy!
Next Post NEW Be Merry Craft Box available now!
Wowza, Sarah! This is gorgeous! Such beautiful papers on each panel – definitely a showcase of leaves and flowers. I'm sure your class members LOVED making these!
Love your card, Sarah! I'll give that fold a try!
Your card is beautiful Sarah, love to try this fold.

Capcom Postpones STREET FIGHTER V Beta Indefinitely
Posted by Malik Forté on July 27, 2015
It's been quite the struggle for fighting game fans hoping to participate in the Street Fighter V beta, which was supposed to be up and running several days ago on July 23rd. The beta began not with the sweet sounds of Ken Masters shouting "Shoryuken", but rather to the collective cries of players not being able to get past the "Press Start" screen. It then seemed to start functioning for a limited amount of folks until it was taken down completely by Capcom. The beta will remain down until Capcom can "believe the experience is going to be a positive one for players". As of now, there has been no date or estimate for when we can expect the beta to go live. Capcom extended their sincerest apology for the debacle in a recent public statement:
"Capcom offers its sincerest apologies to everyone who participated in this first beta test. While the purpose of a beta is to work out these type of issues, it was very clear that the issues we faced were more severe than we were prepared for," Capcom's Peter 'ComboFiend' Rosas states. "To be clear, this first beta test attempt will not count toward our previously announced beta test allotments. There will still be at least three full beta tests prior to the game's launch. So for those in the Americas that feel disappointed that they were not able to experience their pre-order incentive, there will be plenty of opportunities prior to launch to experience the game."
I, personally, have been trying my damnedest to keep on the positive side of this entire mess. You have to respect the folks at Capcom for going the beta testing route for the first time; it means that they understand the importance of the online component of their games, and they are taking the extra steps to improve the netcode of the title before it launches. Having a non-functioning beta has been a disappointing revelation, but it's better to experience these issues now as opposed to on day one of the game's release. Consider this thwarted attempt at a beta the lesser of two evils.
But are you too angry to let Capcom slide for what's transpired over the last few days? Or are you grateful to be experiencing the problems now rather than later? Flash kick your thoughts on the Street Fighter V beta into the comments below.

The Graphic Communications Scholarship Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps new generations of aspiring students from high school to graduate school. It provides financial support and mentorship to students in the graphic design and communication arts fields.
This is a new brand identity for The Graphic Communications Scholarship, Award and Career Advancement Foundation, emphasizing its importance and contributions to the creative industry over the past 14 years.
While the GCSF is well known in some circles of the creative world in New York, using the word mark "Graphic Communications Scholarship Foundation" is essential to maintain the recognizability of the logo. In addition, the wordmark and geometrically constructed logo icon that reads "GCSF" can be used separately depending on circumstances.
The letterhead design includes three treatments for the back of the pages, corresponding to the three target audiences that the foundation caters to. Color coding is also helpful in keeping archives - blue for current and potential donors and investors; red for teachers and professors; yellow for students. Envelope and business card designs follow the same idea of different designs for the three target audiences. The sticker-seal is an additional element of authenticity for the scholarship foundation.
The brand book is an essential piece for any organization. The Graphic Communications Scholarship Foundation, who services creative people and future designers, is flexible enough to have a uniquely designed brand book. GCSF's brand book is a collection of double-sided cards that can be arranged in any order, easily substituted in case of information updates, and can decorate the book shelf in the foundation's office.
GCSF has an annual Awards Ceremony where students receive their scholarships and other prizes. The event is also an opportunity for educators and investors to celebrate the new generation's achievements and network/socialize.
Every year, the award ceremony is designed around current events, themes, or other ideas the board committee has (for example, the ceremony of 2017 will be the anniversary ceremony, celebrating it's 15th year).
As noted earlier, while the GCSF is well known in some circles of the creative world in New York, using the word mark "Graphic Communications Scholarship Foundation" helps maintain the recognizability of the logo. The identity of the 2016 Awards Ceremony is based on that, and the wordmark "Graphic Communications Scholarship Foundation" has a prominent position on the right side of the logo. Another part of the logo, geometrically constructed lettering reading "Awards 2016", emphasizes the nature of the event (scholarship awards) and reflects its primary target audience (students). It's fun, playful, and personal.


Double Dove hidden in the corner of Eagle Creek Escape. It presents with a huge front porch with swing; two chairs and a table. All facing the beautiful man made Lake. The fire pit is located on the left side of the cabin and exhibits the most beautiful sun rises and sunsets on the Lake. The cabin has vaulted ceilings with a huge Antler Chandelier in the living area and an amazing antique Crystal Chandelier which hangs over the most gorgeous Victorian Bed. Romance!


The government has launched its first holiday pay advertising campaign aimed at encouraging workers to understand their rights and employers to understand their legal obligations in relation to holiday pay. It estimates that, in the UK, 1.8 million workers are not receiving the holiday pay they are entitled to, resulting in them missing out on an estimated £1.8 billion each year. The campaign, which has the slogan "Holiday pay – it comes with the job", aims to reach workers and employers through video on demand, Spotify advertising, and digital website and social media advertising, as well as adverts in train stations and on the roadside.


The specially prepared Discovery family SUV will support the recipients of the 2017 Land Rover Bursary, administered by the Royal Geographical Society (with the IBG). The 'Water Diaries' expedition will cross one of the driest countries on the planet to investigate how the population manages its most precious resource, water.
The Discovery is going to be critical to the success of our trip. It will take us across the vast sand dunes and rocky terrain of Jordan while carrying everything we need. Beyond simple transport, the specially enhanced SUV will also be our accommodation, laboratory, classroom and broadcast studio for four weeks.
The Discovery will also be home to field scientist Dr. Shane McGuinness and documentary film-maker Temujin Doran, who plan to make weekly online broadcasts to budding geographers about their trip on their website http://www.thewaterdiaries.com/. To guarantee the team's lessons go ahead each week, Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division prepared the unique Discovery.
An expedition roof rack will help carry the team's kit and a pair of awnings will provide shelter from the elements for the regular broadcasts, while off-road lighting will illuminate the challenging terrain after dark. A split battery charging system and power inverter will drive the team's electrical kit while a load space partition will ensure luggage remains safely in place over rough terrain. Additional fuel and water supplies will help the expedition go further.
Our partnership with the Royal Geographical Society (with the IBG) is important to us as part of our commitment to contribute to research, education and fieldwork expeditions.
The Land Rover Discovery is one of the most capable SUVs in the world so our enhancements were focused on the specific requirements of the expedition. Adding extra storage capacity, both physical and electrical, plus some much-needed shelter, will ensure the team can live, work and broadcast in relative comfort despite their unforgiving surroundings.
The Royal Geographical Society (IBG) Land Rover Bursary is now in its 10th year and 2017 is the first time the Discovery has been used to support the winners. The ultimate family SUV will have to contend with Jordan's rugged landscape and the three-man crew have received expert all-terrain driving tuition to fully prepare them.
During a day with the instructors at the Land Rover Experiences East of England facility, in Rockingham, the trio was introduced to the Discovery's comprehensive all-terrain capabilities, including the Terrain Response 2 system. The advanced set-up automatically configures the vehicle to suit surfaces with modes including Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud and Ruts, Sand and Rock Crawl.
During the month-long expedition, the team plans to study how Bedouin tribes locate and transport water in the Wadi Rum region. They will spend four days living alongside nomads, stopping at a flourishing farm that uses ancient and modern techniques to provide almost all the food consumed in one of the driest places on earth and meet experts working to save Arabian Oryx from extinction.
No trip to Jordan would be complete without visiting the city of Petra. Here the team will meet archaeologists working at the World Heritage Site. From this ancient civilization, the Discovery will take the team to investigate an advanced infrastructure project that could bring water security to the entire region – a desalination plant in the Gulf of Aqaba and a pipeline linking the Red Sea with the Dead Sea.
Expedition leader Fearghal O'Nuallain is a geography teacher on a quest to make his subject exciting. He has circumnavigated the globe by bike and walked across Rwanda to research his MSc thesis. After teaching geography at a school in inner London, he decided to take on a series of projects to make the world his classroom.
Dr. Shane Mc Guinness is a field scientist with a career spanning a broad range of biological and social aspects of conservation biology. He has investigated amphibian disease at the Institute of Zoology (ZSL) and lectured at the National University of Rwanda. He currently works at Dublin Zoo on their education programme.

Cyrus Maher, CEO of Waterway Industries, thinks he may be facing a human resources problem. Lee Carter is a relatively new employee whose high-powered sales ability has rocketed Maher's sleepy canoe company into unprecedented growth. But Maher has overheard Carter discussing a new job that would offer equity, and he fears her defection is imminent. Maher has begun to reconsider his employees' compensation arrangements, particularly Carter's. As he consults with his banker and with advisers in the industry, he begins to realize that the easygoing culture he created at Waterway may have changed for good. In 96408 and 96408Z, James McCann, Kay Henry, Myra Hart, Ronald Rudolph, Bruce Schlegel, and Alan Johnson offer advice on this fictional case study. THIS CASE STUDY INCLUDES BOTH THE CASE AND THE COMMENTARY. FOR TEACHING PURPOSES, THE REPRINT IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN TWO OTHER VERSIONS: CASE STUDY ONLY, REPRINT 96408X, AND COMMENTARY ONLY, REPRINT 96408Z.

Baghdad's envoy demands Turkish troops out as Iraqi forces vow to free Fallujah 'in a week'
© Sertac Kayar © Reuters
Baghdad has sent an envoy to Ankara to discuss withdrawing Turkish troops from Iraq, the country's ambassador to the US, Lukman Faily, told Sputnik. It coincides with report that Iraqi troops are planning to free Fallujah from Islamic State "within a week."
"We have recently had our ambassador, new ambassador, sent to Ankara about last week, so we have given another sign to Turkey that we are serious about discussions and dialogue," Ambassador Faily said.
The move comes as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov described the Turkish troops' presence in Iraq as unacceptable.
Lavrov: Russia demands that Turkey withdraw its troops from Iraqi territory
"We demand that Turkey withdraw its troops from Iraqi territory, where they are deployed, as former Turkish Prime Minister Davutoglu put it, to 'strengthen' Iraq's sovereignty. This position is absolutely unacceptable," Lavrov told Komsomolskaya Pravda daily on Tuesday.
In December, Turkey deployed around 150 troops and 25 tanks to a base in Iraq's Nineveh province, without Baghdad's permission Ankara argued that its soldiers were sent to northern Iraq after a threat from Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) to Turkish military instructors training anti-terrorist forces in the area.
In response, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry said that the Turkish troops were acting in violation of the country's sovereignty and demanded the forces withdraw immediately.
A week later, Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the withdrawal of Turkish troops from Iraq is out of question. "Our servicemen went to Iraq as instructors, their mission is limited to training," Erdogan said back in December. "It is out of the question, at present, that Turkey will pull out its military from Iraq."
Fallujah to be free of ISIS 'in a week'
Meanwhile, Iraqi government liaison for the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Bassam Al Hussaini also claimed that the country's troops would free Islamic State-held city of Fallujah within one week. He added that the success would mean that IS will soon kicked out of Iraq.
"The only reason that we slowed down a little bit is just because we were getting a lot of reports saying there were still civilians [in Fallujah] that Daesh [Islamic State] was using as human shields," he said. "We are hoping three, four days from now, at the most a week, that Fallujah will be free, 100 percent."

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced on Wednesday that the Fallujah offensive has been temporary halted, as 50,000 people, including 20,000 children, are feared to be trapped inside the city.
Iraq's ambassador to the US, Faily, added that Baghdad will continue to look to Russia for support when buying the arms it needs to battle against Islamic State.
"We have sought support from others, including Russia, and mainly in the provisions and purchase of arms and we'll continue doing that as well," Faily added.
Fallujah witnessed some of the heaviest fighting during the US-led military intervention of 2003-2011, and in January of 2014, it became first city in Iraq to fall to Islamic State fighters. The extremists declared a caliphate in territories they had seized in Iraq and Syria in late June 2014.


Looks like the police are having their own protest, doesn't it? Top one is just outside the security perimeter around the convention last night, bottom two are just outside of it. Can't get through without credentials.. which we've been lucky enough to have one or two of a day..

Q: Как забрать дамп БД с аварийного сервера? Всем привет. На удалённом выделенном сервере сломался 1 из 2-х винчестеров и сервер умер. Т.к. винты были в RAID, я зашёл на сервер в rescue режиме и примонтировал живой винт. Хочу забрать БД с него, но в rescue mode обычные команды не работают, команды mysqldump там нет.
Как в этом случае забрать БД?
Знаю, что БД физически хранится в папке /mnt/var/lib/mysql/DBName.
Скажите, можно просто скопировать файлы *.frm *.MYI *.MYD а затем поместить их по тому же пути в новом сервере? Можно так базы данных переносить? Будет нормально работать? Есть какие-либо подводные камни такого переноса?

A: Ну я бы посоветовал копировать диск утилитой dd.
Но если вы знаете что копировать...
Точное место расположения БД MYSQL можно посмотреть в конфигах:
grep datadir /etc/my.cnf
grep -r datadir /etc/mysql/

должно выдать что-то вроде
datadir=/var/lib/mysql

или вот так
/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf:datadir     = /var/lib/mysql

На всякий бывает полезно убедиться что mysql не запущен:
ps -eo cmd,args | grep mysql  # на Linux
ps -ao pid,command | grep mysql  # на BSD

Копировать с правами лучше утилитой tar
tar -cf /tmp/mysql.tar /var/lib/mysql

There Are Thousands of New Migrants Heading for the US Border
The crisis at the southern border of the United States continues to escalate. Thousands of additional migrants have gone through Panama, most of them from the country of Haiti. They are moving toward America according to a Reuters report.
The report stated that up to 4,000 mostly Haitian migrants have passed through the dangerous jungles of the Darien Gap in Panama. The path has taken them along the Colombian border as they head north towards the United States. The report was taken from two Panamanian government sources.
This crisis of immigration at the border between the U.S. and Mexico has been at the forefront of issues in recent days. There have already been thousands of Haitians that descended upon the border town of Del Rio, Texas, with plans to come into the country.
According to Reuters, there are many more migrants on their way to the U.S.:
"Between 3,500 to 4,000 migrants are passing through migration reception stations in Darien and Chiriqui, said a source with Panama's security ministry, who requested anonymity. The group includes Cubans and other nationalities," the source said.
There are also reports of about 16,000 migrants who are stuck in the town of Necocli, a northern beach area of Colombia. They are apparently waiting their turn for very limited boat transport toward the Darian Gap. They will meet smugglers there who will guide groups through one of the most treacherous regions of Latin America.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the Homeland Security Secretary, said on Friday that 150 medical personnel have been sent to the camp in Del Rio. They have been asked to deal with the health issues of the migrant community and set up new medical facilities in the area. Mayorkas also indicated that as many as 30,000 illegal immigrants have passed through the camp, according to The Daily Wire.
The White House administration has been given harsh criticism over how they have handled the border crisis. Through their border policies, people believe that they have increased illegal immigration and caused families to make the dangerous trip to the United States with the hope they will be granted asylum and permitted to stay once they arrive.
According to the Daily Wire, Mayorkas appeared on Fox News Sunday and told host Chris Wallace that about 10,000 to 12,000 illegal migrants have been released and the number could be even higher. He said that about 5,000 migrants from the Del Rio border camp are still going through processing.
The Homeland Security Secretary also said that the number of migrants released into America could increase, as well as the number who are returned to their home country.
There is some intense criticism rising for not only President Biden's administration but the establishment media. The focus is on how they highlight the actions of some Border Patrol agents instead of the actual border crisis. Just last week, some in the media characterized the actions of horseback-riding agents as "whipping" migrants rather than using reins to control their horses.
Governor Greg Abbott, the Republican from Texas, talked on Sunday about how his agents are being misrepresented.
"First, they wouldn't have been in that situation had the Biden administration enforced the immigration laws and secured the border in the first place," Abbott said. The governor went on to describe how the person that took the pictures said that the Democrats were making false characterizations of the Border Patrol agents. They were not using them as whips but were simply maneuvering horses.
Abbott stood in strong support of the Border Patrol. He said that if the president took any action against them if they were at risk of losing their jobs because the president abandoned them, he would give them a job in the state of Texas. Governor Abbott declared that he would bring them on to help secure his own border with Mexico.


Not sure if this is a clinical question, just a very nerdy one, does anyone know why insulins are P meds and not POMs? I imagine its some historical reason?
Yes, have sold OTC several times.
It is a historical issue before the time when insulin was abused.
I thought they were POM's now?
Not sure how insulin can be used except to be a murder weapon. Using insulin in this way quite popular on TV crime.
Last night's episode of Endeavour purported to show a victim of Nux Vomica (source of strychnine) poisoning. However the victom showed no sign of the characteristic muscle rigour.
Supposed to havebeen in a drinks straw. However, if my memory serves me right, would have had a very bitter taste. Mist Pot Brom and Nux Vom was popular "tonic" mixture as supposed to increase muscle "tone. Metatone was a proprietary "tonic" and frequently prescribed".
I gather by misuse they're referring to people using it to induce hyperglycaemia and resultant weight loss. Seriously dangerous and stupid thing to do but it certainly happens.
My guess on the P med status would be to avoid delays while we try to figure out if an emergency supply is appropriate.
The real P med mystery is why theophylline is a P considering the narrow therapeutic index and issues surrounding toxicity.
I though theophylline got a 'licence of right' when brought into the medicines act?
If I remember Insulin became POM to prevent abuse; the emergency supply rationale was that it could be given out on ES even if POM.
Mostly this was before there were so many insulins with the additional expense of the modern types.
Used to be U40 and U80 back in those days.
We have had people wanting an ES of a modern insulin. "I only want one, and I don't pay". They seem to find it hard to understand no provision for ES under the NHS. They expect us to break a pack of five and let the others go out of date. We refer them to A+E and they then say " Can't sit and wait all that time"./ Usually they are out of town and it is OOH.
Its one of those things that patients don't understand - a lack of planning on their part becomes 'an emergency' for us.
Probably easier to refer them to NUMSAS now.
Less of a problem for our Scottish Colleagues with CP(US) scheme I think.
But referring them to NUMSAS is in breach of the service spec.
Can't believe the mindset at NHS England that develops a service and then insists you can't signpost patients to it if they're in need.

What was your first thought when Kevin Plank announced you as a finalist?
I didn't see it coming, it took me some time to take it in but then I was excited!!
When you're not working on your startup, what are you doing?
Being a medical student or painting!
What are you most excited about regarding the final competition?
Representing the amazing entrepreneurial spirit we've got at UMD.
Thinking about software designs, product design, aesthetics of structures, psychology, and fun business models.
I'm excited to be in a prestigious competition alongside some other awesome entrepreneurs! Looking forward to hearing that the judges have to say!
When I'm not working on my start up, I really enjoy Marvel and DC comics.
I am most excited to meet the judges with such vast entrepreneurial experiences and hear their honest and candid feedback about SnappyScreen. When I think back over my 6 years working on SnappyScreen, some of the best business decisions I made were because I acted on tough criticisms and/or accolades from successful entrepreneurs.
We did it! What an honor it is to be validated by such a respected entrepreneur. Kevin not only appreciates the need for a more efficient sunscreen application but also has the foresight to anticipate the impact SnappyScreen can make on the skin cancer epidemic.
At VirtualU we know that any success for our company is a team success, for the finals I will be bringing my team up with me and I am excited about the increased motivation that going to the finals has brought to everyone.
I was incredibly thrilled that Kevin and the other judges selected our company to move forward and I also knew that there would be a lot of work ahead to prepare for the finals.
I'm a pretty avid outdoor adventurer, so when I'm not working I'm generally outside doing some type of extreme sport. During the winter I ski/snowboard and during the summer I rock climb, wake-board, and ride motorcycles. I feel like getting out and staying fit is key to keeping up my work performance.
I have to say, I have horrible stage fright, so this is personally going to be a big step for me in my career to speak in front of over 1,000 people. What I am most excited for is to be able share my story of success & struggle with so many students just starting their careers, or figuring out what they want to do with their lives. If I can do it, I truly believe that anyone can. I also cannot tell you how honored and humbled I am to have the opportunity to share my brand, that was just an idea in a notebook two years ago with successful Entrepreneurs that I look up to. To have validation from someone like Kevin Plank, it's just priceless. It makes the last two years of my life feel validated.
I do believe that as an Entrepreneur, you have to work just as hard on yourself as you do your work. Everytime you speak, you are representing not only yourself, but your entire brand. Being strong, level headed, comfortable and aware of your strengths and weaknesses, and being mentally & physically fit is just as important to your brand's success.
Be there on April 22nd! More information at www.cupidscup.umd.edu.

In-person Pride events to take place around the world
Activists have scheduled marches, galas, forums

Activists around the world are planning to hold in-person Pride events this year.
Organizers of Tijuana GLBTI Pride in the Mexican border city say a decrease in coronavirus cases has allowed them to hold a march on June 19. Participants will be required to wear masks and socially distance. Tijuana GLBTI Pride organizers also plan to distribute condoms at a gay bar in downtown Tijuana.
"The GLBT community and owners of entertainment venues and establishments in the region have also suffered a blow with the arrival of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus a year ago," wrote Tijuana GLBTI Pride Coordinator Lorenzo Herrera on his group's website, noting the decrease in coronavirus cases in Mexico's Baja California state has allowed businesses to reopen. "It allows for the reopening of establishments like bars and cantinas."
"This new normality and opening of spaces allowed us to resume planning for the 2021 Pride march," added Herrera.
The Organization for Refuge, Asylum and Migration, a Minnesota-based organization that works with LGBTQ migrants and refugees around the world, and Alight on June 13 will hold a digital Pride brunch on both sides of the Mexico-U.S. border with Jardín de las Mariposas, a shelter in Tijuana for LGBTQ migrants and asylum seekers. Frenchie Davis is among those who are scheduled to perform at ORAM's #RefugeePride Gala on June 17.
Rainbow Sunrise Mapambazuko, an LGBTQ advocacy group in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is scheduled to hold a Pride event in the city of Bukavu on June 26.
The Spanish Embassy in D.C. commissioned London Kaye, a Los Angeles-based artist, to create a crocheted mural that features Federico García Lorca, a gay Spanish poet and playwright who Spanish Nationalists executed in 1936 shortly after the country's Civil War began. The mural is currently displayed above the entrance to the Spanish ambassador's former home in Columbia Heights.
Tbilisi Pride on July 5 is scheduled to hold a march in the Georgian capital. The group on its Facebook page says the pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on LGBTQ Georgians.
"Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and gay people experience oppression and discrimination on a daily basis," it notes. "Hate groups are constantly trying to stir up hostility in society towards us. By weaponizing homophobia, these groups try to sow discord and divide society or social movements, to discredit various just demands. The state often leaves the criminal activities of violent groups and their leaders unpunished, thereby normalizing violence against (LGBTQ) people and, at the same time hinders development and justice-oriented social, political and economic change."
"We need to make our voices heard by our family, friends, colleagues, fellow citizens and the state," proclaimed Tbilisi Pride.
WorldPride 2021, which will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Malmö, Sweden, from Aug. 12-22, will feature both virtual and in-person events. Uganda Pride will hold their Pride events in October, as opposed to this month, because the government has imposed a partial lockdown in response to an increase in COVID-19 cases.
Thousands attend Jerusalem Pride march
Israel is among the countries in which in-person Pride events have already taken place.
Thousands of people attended the annual Jerusalem March for Pride and Tolerance on June 3.
The in-person event took place less than two weeks after a cease fire between Israel and Hamas militants that govern the Gaza Strip took effect. The future of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and tensions over the eviction of several Palestinian families from their homes in East Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood also loomed large over the Jerusalem March for Pride and Tolerance.
Cuba's National Center for Sexual Education last month held a series of virtual events that commemorated the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.
CENESEX Director Mariela Castro, who is the daughter of former Cuban President Raúl Castro, during a May 4 press conference in Havana announced a bill that would amend the country's family code will be introduced in Parliament in July. Tremenda Nota, the Washington Blade's media partner in Cuba, reported Mariela Castro said this year's IDAHOBiT events are part of the aforementioned effort and will help make Cubans more receptive to LGBTQ rights.
"I was able to appreciate that the majority of the population … is in favor of recognizing the rights of LGBTI+ people and especially the rights in the family sphere that include the possibility, the option, of marriage," Mariela Castro told reporters on May 4.
U.S. embassies fly Pride flags
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. Agency for International Development Administrator Samantha Power are among the American officials who have publicly acknowledged Pride month.
Blinken in April said U.S. embassies and consulates can once again fly the Pride flag.
The U.S. Embassy in the Bahamas this month is flying the Pride flag for the first time. Alexus D'Marco, an activist who is a member of LGBTI Bahamas, a Bahamian advocacy group, on Monday referred to Eleanor Roosevelt when she discussed the impact the gesture has had on LGBTQ Bahamians.
"It's not in protest," D'Marco told the Blade. "It's a lead by example effort that may be saying, yes we admit that we may have flaws as countries and in some cases former colonists, but we do this to dissuade you from making the same mistake of thinking that some are better than others. It's an open invitation to join the changing world, for us the older generations to listen to the voice of the youth who are telling us very clearly and loudly that the future they envision is not one of stigma and discrimination, instead it is one with human rights and dignity for all in a land that is sustainable and full of that 'the-ness.'"

Chilean President-elect Gabriel Boric on Friday named two openly LGBTQ people to his Cabinet.
Marco Antonio Ávila, who is a gay man, will be the country's education minister. Alexandra Benado, who is a lesbian, will be Chile's sports minister.
Javiera Zúñiga, a spokesperson for Movilh (Movimiento de Integración y Liberación Homosexual), a Chilean LGBTQ rights group, applauded Boric for naming Ávila and Benado to his Cabinet.
"The visibility of sexual orientation and gender identity is no longer an impediment to access any position in Chile," said Zúñiga in a press release. "Sexual orientation and gender identity are irrelevant for the positions, whether they are public or private. Capability is the only thing that matters."
Boric and his government will take office on March 11. Chile's marriage equality law goes into effect the day before.
Julissa Ramírez and Nohemí Medina Martínez killed in Ciudad Juárez

Authorities in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juárez on Sunday found the dismembered bodies of a lesbian couple along a local highway.
The dismembered body parts of Julissa Ramírez and Nohemí Medina Martínez were found in plastic bags that had been placed along the Juárez-El Porvenir Highway.
El Diario, a Mexican newspaper, reported the married women lived in El Paso, Texas, which is across the Rio Grande from Ciudad Juárez. Authorities said relatives last spoke with Ramírez and Medina on Saturday afternoon.
A source in Ciudad Juárez with whom the Washington Blade spoke on Thursday confirmed Ramírez and Medina "were lesbian women" and their murder was "very violent."
Members of Comité de la Diversidad Sexual de Chihuahua, an LGBTQ rights group in the state of Chihuahua in which Ciudad Juárez is located, and Chihuahua Gov. María Eugenia Campos Galván are among those who have expressed outrage over the women's murders. Comité de la Diversidad Sexual de Chihuahua on Wednesday also urged local and state authorities to investigate whether the murder was a hate crime.
"People of sexual diversity are questioned, including their existence through heteronormative discourse," said the group in a statement. "They have the right to a life free of violence in which they exercise all their rights, in addition to living without fear or fear of rejection and aggressions that can unfortunately escalate to hate crimes."

El Diario reported Ramírez and Medina are two of the nine women who have been reported killed in Ciudad Juárez since the beginning of the year.
Personas de las Diversidades Afectivo Sexuales, an LGBTQ rights group in Ciudad Juárez, and feminist organizations on Thursday organized a protest during which participants demanded local, state and federal authorities do more to end to violence against women in the city. The press release that announced the demonstration specifically cited Ramírez and Medina.
"We seek justice and clarification in the murder of Nohemí and Yulissa, a lesbian couple who was found in Juárez-Porvenir Highway," it reads.

New policy announced Wednesday in Mexico City
(Washington Blade photo by Michael K. Lavers)
Mexico's Foreign Affairs Ministry on Wednesday announced transgender people who were born in Mexico can receive an amended birth certificate at any of the country's consulates.
Foreign Affairs Secretary Marcelo Ebrard is among those who spoke at a ceremony at the Foreign Affairs Ministry in Mexico City where he and other officials detailed the policy. Trans Congresswomen Salma Luévano and María Clemente García attended alongside Sen. Malú Micher, trans activist Jessica Marjane, Global Equality Caucus Deputy Director Aron Le Fevre and Amicus Director Juan Pablo Delgado are among those who attended.
Amicus, an advocacy group that is based in the state of Guanajuato, represented two trans Mexicans who brought legal action after consulates in the U.S. denied their request for birth certificates that correspond with their gender identity.
Victory Institute International Programs Manager Mateo de la Torre in 2019 sought legal recourse, known as an "amparo" in the Mexican judicial system, after the Mexican Consulate in D.C. said it could not change the sex on his birth certificate.
Delgado earlier this week told the Washington Blade during a telephone interview from Guanajuato that one judge asked De La Torre to file his "amparo" in person in Tijuana because his signature did not correspond with the one on his Mexican ID. Delgado said a trans woman from Guanajuato filed her own "amparo" in 2021 after the Mexican Consulate in Houston said it could not issue her an amended birth certificate.
Trans Mexicans who want to receive an amended birth certificate need to provide their original document, but Delgado told the Blade that consulates can access them through a data base. De La Torre on Wednesday received an amended birth certificate at the Mexican Consulate in D.C.
"This birth certificate comes after a decade of living in my truth as a transgender man and after years of advocating for my right to be recognized as such," De La Torre told the Blade. "In Mexico and abroad, many trans people face discrimination, violence and endless bureaucratic hurdles in their fight for legal recognition, and after all this time I am most grateful for the ability to vote in my country's elections."
"This new process has the possibility of being life saving for many of our most vulnerable community members, and I will continue to advocate for the day that all trans people living in Mexico are also afforded the right to a process that is free of discrimination and based on self-attestation," added De La Torre.
Delgado described the new policy as "a great advancement towards the recognition of gender identity" in Mexico.
"It's a super important advancement," said Delgado.
Delgado noted Mexico City and 18 of Mexico's 32 states currently allow trans people to receive birth certificates that correspond to their gender identity.
The Mexican Senate has passed a bill that would codify the Foreign Affairs Ministry policy into law. The measure is now before the Mexican Chamber of Deputies, which is the lower house of the country's Congress.

THE MANE EVENT is happening soon! If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen me post about it over the past several weeks. But I wanted to take a minute and share more about what you can expect if you come!!
So my blogger friend Meagan, my salon-owning friend Molly Gee, and I started talking one day about how fun it would be if we could put on an event talking about everyday hair styling! Meagan and I both see Molly Gee at Static for our cut/color, but we both felt like we are always in need of more hair care tips and easy styling tricks. We figured we weren't alone. And Molly Gee and her talented team are the PERFECT people to enlighten us on the topic since they work with hair all day, errday!
If you purchase a ticket to the event (they are $35), you can expect to hear Molly Gee talk about basic hair care, everyday tricks for maintaining that mane, styling tips, easy curling techniques, ways to make your washes last longer, how to deal with a bad hair day (essentially eliminating bad hair days all together!), and you'll even get visual aids on three different hairstyles. THEN, we will have breakout sessions where you can get a trained stylist to help you recreate an easy, everyday style on yourself (with a little professional guidance) if you wish! This event is for women with all different hair types, so do not let your "weird" type of hair keep you from considering coming! This is for all women!
In addition to all the hair goodness, we'll have a bubbly bar, some swanky snacks, and some SWAG BAGS! (Who doesn't love a good swag bag?) We are working hard on these and I think they're gonna be preeeeetty fab.
THE MANE EVENT will be held on Thursday, May 24th from 6-8 PM at Static A Salon in Madison! You can purchase tickets here, and you can check out the Facebook event page here. I hope to see y'all there! I'm getting SO excited. We are gonna have some FUN!
I hope you're having a wonderful week. Thanks so much for stopping by!!
