# Lucinda Toomer

Lucinda Toomer (February 5, 1888 – September 1, 1983) was an American artist who worked in the African-American tradition of quiltmaking. Her quilts are known for their bold compositions, visual rhythm, and improvisational style. They were at the forefront of a surge of national recognition for the art form during the 1990s.

## Early life

Lucinda Toomer was born Lucinda Hodrick in Stewart County, Georgia. She was the oldest of seven children born to Orange and Sophie Stokes Hodrick, who made their living as cotton and peanut farmers. She married Jim Toomer in 1908, and moved with him to a farm near Dawson, Georgia.

## Quiltmaking

Toomer began quilting at the age of 12, under her mother's tutelage. The craft was practiced out of necessity, in a spirit of economy and reuse, but Toomer also found lifelong artistic expression in quilting. She worked on her quilts almost every day, completing around 20 each year, and had a routine of sorting and cutting pieces in the morning and quilting them together at night. To piece together quilt tops, she used scraps from her own sewing as well as fabric purchased in bulk from nearby textile factories.
Toomer's designs were often inspired by traditional quilt patterns, like the ones handed down from her mother, as well as patterns she found in books and magazines. Using an improvisational approach to piecing, she adapted these familiar patterns into boldly expressive and individual creations. Characteristic formal elements in her quilts include the use of multiple patterning, asymmetrical compositions, and pattern repetition featuring variations on a theme.
Long strips of fabric play a major aesthetic role in her quilts, serving as an organizing and unifying element within the overall composition. This use of strips to create a geometric pattern has a long lineage traceable to West African textile patterns and narrow strip weaving.
Toomer also used contrasting colors to create vivid and highly visible patterns. Red was one of her favorite colors to use in this way. She often designed unusual, mismatched quilt borders, and her piecing exhibits a freedom of shape unrestricted by straight lines or right angles. The combination of these design gestures works to create a lively and high varied textile surface that still maintains compositional wholeness.

## Legacy

Toomer's quiltmaking came to national attention when she was featured alongside other quilters, including Martha Jane Pettway and Sarah Mary Taylor, in the 1983 traveling exhibition "Ten Afro-American Quiltmakers," curated by Dr. Maude Southwell Wahlman.
Her quilts are held in multiple museum collections, including the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Two of her quilts are in the collection of the American Folk Art Museum in New York. One of these, Diamond Strip Quilt (purchased in 1990) was the first piece acquired for the museum's quilt collection.
Lucinda Toomer received a 1983 National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.

# Class A (classification)

Class A is a Paralympic wheelchair fencing classification.

## Sport

This is a Paralympic wheelchair fencing classification. In 2000, BBC Sport defined this classification as "class A incorporates those athletes with good balance and recovery and full trunk movement" In 2008, BBC Sport defined this classification was "A: Athletes with good balance and recovery, and full trunk movement."

## Becoming classified

Classification is handled by International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports Federation.

## At the Paralympic Games

For the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio, the International Paralympic Committee had a zero classification at the Games policy. This policy was put into place in 2014, with the goal of avoiding last minute changes in classes that would negatively impact athlete training preparations. All competitors needed to be internationally classified with their classification status confirmed prior to the Games, with exceptions to this policy being dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
# Lithobius microps

Lithobius microps, also known as the stone centipede, is a species of centipede in the Lithobiidae family.

## Description

The species is fast-moving and usually quite small, up to about 1" long, possibly to 2" long. It is red or orange in colour. There are small poison claws on the sides of the head.

## Distribution

The species can be found mainly in the north-east of the United States (in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, where it is one of the most common centipedes in the region). It also occurs in England and South Wales where it is considered to be among the smallest of British centipedes. It has been introduced to Australia’s island state of Tasmania.

## Behaviour

The centipedes like to hide in wood, beneath stones and rocks, in soil, and under small buildings. They are most common in gardens, in dead or rotting wood, beneath stones and rocks, and under sheds. They may be seen in basements in winter, though this is uncommon. They also dig burrows in which to hibernate, from which they will emerge in warmer weather. They are hard to catch, and rarely bite if handled.
