Lavender Country and Folk Dancers
From IAGSDCWiki
(Redirected from LCFD)
Website: http://www.lcfd.org
Started: 1988
Admitted to IAGSDC: 01 Jul 2010 as Affiliate Member
Lavender Country and Folk Dancers (LCFD) is an umbrella organization forming a loosely knit group of gender role free dance clubs. (Sometimes the expression is "gender neutral" or "role optional"). LCFD currently encompasses several dance traditions and welcome the opportunity to include more.
LCFD is governed by a Board of Directors who are elected by its members. LCFD is an affiliate of the Country Dance and Song Society (CDSS) and obtains its 501(c)3 tax exempt status from that relationship.
The mission of LCFD is essentially:
Organize and run dance camps, which are multiple-day events usually occurring at a rustic site.
Promote and support gender-free traditional dancing (contra, square, English Country, and folk) primarily, but not exclusively, for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer dancers and friends.
Promote and support dance leaders, musicians, organizations, and others who support gender-free dancing, whenever possible.
LCFD is a non-profit organization which will occasionally raise money for the purpose of supporting LCFD activities.
A large number of volunteers work to help LCFD organization flourish. LCFD's biggest activity is to run the twice a year dance camps. Attendance at a dance camp automatically makes a person a member of LCFD for the year. There is a camp committee to run these dance camps. LCFD works with local dance gender free dance groups that are affiliated with it to help them in their organization and outreach. There is a Lavender Dance Legacy Committee that is working on means to help the dance community and organization continue and grow.
LCFD has a program where other groups that run gender-role-free dances and camps can be affiliated with LCFD. This affiliation is used to give web site access, liability insurance, general assistance, and the possibility of various forms of financial assistance.
Currently there are affiliated contra dance groups in Jamaica Plain (MA), Montague (MA), New York City, Glen Cove (LI - NY), Atlanta (GA), Chicago (IL), and the San Francisco bay area as well as an English Country Dance group in Jamaica Plain (MA). LGBTQ* contra groups are also forming in Seattle and Tucson.
The San Francisco area group also runs a dance camp that is quite similar in structure to the camps run by LCFD.
History: See Chris Ricciotti's info on the LCFD site for a detailed history of gender-free dancing and calling.

New Tardigrade in Amber Find
October 7, 2021 Mike Shaw Leave a comment
New tardigrade fossil found in 16 million-year-old amber
Nina MasseyTue, 5 October 2021, 7:01 pm·3-min read
New tardigrade fossil found in 16 million-year-old amber (Marc Mapalo/Harvard University)
Researchers have discovered a new tardigrade fossil found in 16-million-year-old amber.
Also known as water bears, the creatures are a group of microscopic invertebrates that are best known for their ability to survive extreme conditions.
On a 2007 trip to space, tardigrades were exposed to the space vacuum and harmful solar radiation, but still managed to survive and reproduce after returning to Earth.
The tiny eight-legged animals are found on all the continents and in different environments including marine, freshwater, and terrestrial.
This paper basically encompasses a third of the tardigrade fossil record known to date
Professor Javier Ortega-Hernandez
While they have survived all five Phanerozoic Great Mass Extinction events, the earliest modern-looking tardigrades are only known from the Cretaceous period – around 80 million years ago.
Despite their long evolutionary history and global distribution, there is a lot lacking in their fossil record.
Due to their microscopic size and non-biomineralising body, the chance of them becoming fossilised is small.
In the new paper, researchers describe a modern-looking tardigrade fossil that represents a new genus and new species.
They were able to obtain higher resolution images of important anatomical characteristics that helped them to analyse the fossil.
Researchers say the new fossil, Paradoryphoribius chronocaribbeus, is only the third tardigrade amber fossil to be fully described and formally named to date.
The other two fully described modern-looking tardigrade fossils are Milnesium swolenskyi and Beorn leggi, both known from Cretaceous-age amber in North America.
Paradoryphoribius is the first fossil to be found embedded in Miocene (approximately 16 million years ago) Dominican amber and the first fossil representative of the tardigrade superfamily Isohypsibioidea.
Lead author Marc Mapalo, from the department of organismic and evolutionary biology, Harvard University said: "The difficulty of working with this amber specimen is that it's far too small for dissecting microscopes, we needed a special microscope to fully see the fossil."
Researchers say the new tardigrade has a total body length of only 559 micrometres – or slightly over half a millimetre.
At such a small scale, a dissecting microscope can only reveal the external morphology of the fossil.
Fortunately, Tardigrade's cuticle is made of chitin, a fibrous glucose substance that is a primary component of cell walls in fungi and the exoskeletons of some other invertebrates.
Chitin is fluorescent and easily excited by lasers, making it possible to fully visualise the tardigrade fossil using a specific method.
The use of confocal laser microscopy instead of transmitted light to study the fossil created degrees of fluorescence allowing a more clear view of the internal morphology.
This method allowed researchers to visualise two very important characters of the fossil – the claws and the buccal apparatus, or the foregut of the animal which is also made of cuticle.
Senior author Professor Javier Ortega-Hernandez, also of the department of organismic and evolutionary biology, Harvard, said: "Tardigrade fossils are rare.
"With our new study, the full tally includes only four specimens, from which only three are formally described and named, including Paradoryphoribius.
"This paper basically encompasses a third of the tardigrade fossil record known to date.
"Furthermore, Paradoryphoribius offers the only data on a tardigrade buccal apparatus in their entire fossil record."
The authors note there is a strong preservation bias for tardigrade fossils in amber due to their small size and habitat preferences.
Therefore amber deposits provide the most reliable source for finding new tardigrade fossils, even though that does not mean finding them is an easy task.

The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the fundamental theory established by Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler. The areas of study for the theories they established were in personality and mental health. Sigmund Freud established the stages of personality and aspects of the human mind... Theory. Alfred Adler (1870–1937), an Austrian psychiatrist, and a contemporary of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, was one of the first theorists to suggest that birth order influences personality.
29/01/2010 · Alfred Adler's Theory of Personality Like the theories of Freud and Jung, many of the ideas in Adler's theory are also not defined precisely enough to validate his findings. Moreover, his contention that "everything can also be different" makes it practically impossible to make a falsifiable prediction using his theory.

Dominick's preview: Some argue bike lane layout for new Lincoln Yards bridge is sub-par
By John Greenfield
Rendering of the new Dominick Street bridge with the two-way bike lane.
Update Thursday 10/15/20, 11:45 PM: Sterling Bay spokesperson Julie Goudie confirmed that the two-way bike lane will be on the east side of the bridge, will be curb-protected, and will have ramps to connect with the riverwalks on both sides of the Chicago River, and on to The 606. The article has been updated accordingly.
There's been a huge backlash to the Lincoln Yards luxury megadevelopment plan in Lincoln Park, a project that's being subsidized with $1.3 billion in tax-increment funding, and which opponents argue will drive up local housing prices. But one possible upside is new sustainable transportation amenities, including proposals for new bridges over the Chicago River, a new Metra station, and water taxi stops, as well as a potential new dedicated busway.
There was some good news on that front yesterday, when developer Sterling Bay released plans to extend the Bloomingdale Trail, aka The 606, east from Bucktown to the new enclave, as well as to lengthen Dominick Street — a diagonal roadway that currently hugs the east bank of the Chicago River roughly between Ashland and Southport avenues — almost another mile southeast to connect with Throop Street and south on to North Avenue. As reported by Block Club Chicago's Hannah Alani, the developer said work on these infrastructure projects will begin next year.

Details of the infrastructure plan for Lincoln Yards.
According to Sterling Bay spokesperson Julie Goudie, the new Dominick Street Bridge over the Chicago River will be 80 feet wide, including 10-foot sidewalks on either side, one 12-foot travel lane in each direction, and a single 10-foot two-way bike lane on the east side of the bridge, protected with a concrete curb. (It's not clear what the remaining 26 feet of bridge width will be used for — we're double checking on this.) The layout will be similar to the popular Dearborn Street two-way protected lane downtown. The bridge will fly over new riverwalk segments on both sides of the waterway, which will link up to the new Bloomingdale stretch.
The new bridge will fly over the new riverwalk segments, presumably with ramps connecting the riverwalk to the bridge.
The projects are budgeted at a total of $35 million. The work projected to start in the middle of next year and last through mid-2023.
In general these new amenities appear to be a major win for people who bike, but not everyone is thrilled about the bridge plan yet, including transportation advocate Michelle Stenzel, who formerly ran the group Bike Walk Lincoln Park.
A new north/south bridge crossing the river in the Lincoln Yards site will have a separated bike lane, but it looks like it will be a single two-way lane. Unless the two-way lane extends far on both sides, this is not optimal. https://t.co/KR77VFP5Ry
— Michelle Stenzel (@MichelleStenzel) October 12, 2020
Stenzel added that the layout "makes turning on and off safely more complicated."
And some folks who bike simply dislike two-way protected bike lanes in general, such as the Twitter user who responded to Stenzel, "Single two-way bike lanes are bad news." He cited the popular concrete-protected bike lane on Chicago Avenue in Evanston as a worst-practice. For what it's worth, Streetsblog Chicago assistant editor Courtney Cobbs loves that Evanston bikeway, so obviously not everyone agrees on what makes for a good cycling route.

Goudie confirmed that there will be ramps connecting the new riverwalks to the Dominick Street bridge, so hopefully there will be a fairly seamless transition from the Bloomingdale to the riverwalk on the north bank, to the bridge bikeway, to the riverwalk on the south bank. "The dual-lane bike path will stay on the east side of Dominick and extend on both the north and south side of the river," she added, although she didn't respond to a question about how many blocks north and south of the bridge the two-way protected bike lane will extend.

TRWD is one of the largest raw water supplies in Texas, supplying water to more than 1.7 million people in an 11-county area. They provide water to 30 wholesale customers, including the cities of Fort Worth, Arlington and Mansfield, as well as the Trinity River Authority.
So, how much water did TRWD provide to oil and gas drilling operations in previous years? TRWD reported that the water that they provided, as a percentage of the total water they sold, was just 0.96 percent in 2009, even less at 0.66 percent in 2010, and just 0.54 percent in 2011. Contrary to popular beliefs, hydraulic fracturing does not use a lot of water. As these numbers show, it uses very little water indeed. In addition to being a clean and abundant fuel, natural gas is also an efficient user of water.

Hyperion Insurance Group
Hyperion Insurance GroupJack Williams2019-03-29T08:45:41+00:00
Hyperion is an international insurance group covering wholesale and retail broking, reinsurance broking and underwriting. The group has businesses across Europe and Scandinavia, in India, Israel and Australia. Ranked first or second in many of its markets, Hyperion has ambitions to be the leader in them all.
Insurance broking was the foundation of the Hyperion Insurance Group with the formation of Howden Insurance Brokers in 1994. Over the past 14 years, the Group broking operations have grown exponentially across the world.
The underwriting arm of Hyperion was formed in 1998 when the Group's first underwriting agency, DUAL Ibérica, was established in Madrid.
Turnover has seen an average compound annual growth of 37% since the first company, Howden, was founded in 1994. When Howden was created, it employed six people in one office. Today, Hyperion employs over 600 people in 43 offices operating out of 22 countries.
Containing separate entities throughout 22 countries, Hyperion Group had developed a very diverse IT environment. A DataFlow general ledger and master spreadsheet, fed by an array of other systems including QuickBooks and Sage, led to issues of both consistency and clarity in the data used for decisions.
Files exceeded 100 Mb in size, causing significant delays for finance teams. When these systems were used, the information taken from them and fed to the board often became out of date as group companies made adjustments.
While the individual companies were reporting accurately and in compliance with regulatory requirements, it was unable to look at consolidated information that could illustrate a specific group or region.
The implementation of Infor PM10 has delivered results across not only the consolidation of the Hyperion group accounts but also reporting.
The information now presented to senior managers is far more consistent
Developed into better business processes. Because all the groups have to now feed in data on PM 10 we can control it much more – a discipline has been imposed in terms of the processes and workflow around entering the data and then consolidating it.
