Ana Mendieta: Earth Body, Sculpture and Performance 19721985
Mendieta: Earth Body, Sculpture and Performance 19721985 is the most comprehensive survey to date of the artist's work.
It aims to place Mendieta's art in a broader, international context and
to examine her life and development
as an artist. The exhibition, organized by Olga Viso, Deputy Director, the
Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington,
D.C., premieres at the Whitney Museum of American Art on July 1, launching
a four-venue national tour. (right: Ana Mendieta, Untitled (Body
Tracks), 1974, lifetime color photograph, 10 x 8 inches (25.4 x 20.3

The life and art of Ana Mendieta have frequently been the source of intrigue and speculation for decades as considerable debate about her untimely death has dominated public and critical discussion. As a result, the richness and complexity of her art, as well as its important legacy to contemporary culture, have not been fully acknowledged," said Olga Viso. "This exhibition decidedly shifts the focus to Mendieta's life and significant production as an artist and places it in a broad international context as well as the social and artistic fabric of the 1970s and 1980s."
Ana Mendieta: Earth Body includes more than one hundred works and traces the artist's development from the early performance-based works she made as a student at the University of Iowa, where she was grounded in the conceptual and body-oriented practices of the 1960s and 1970s, to the creation of independent sculptures and objects in the early 1980s made with fragile, earthen materials. The objects on view include photographs, drawings, sculptures, film, and, sequenced slide projections documenting early performance works and time-based actions in nature, which are drawn from numerous public and private collections in the United States and Latin America as well as from the Hirshhorn's own significant holdings of Mendieta's art.
Rooted in nature and in the body, Mendieta's art was inflected by personal identity and femininity, and distinguished by the singular hybrid form she created. Her earth-body works, or Silueta Series (silhouette series) -- sculptural interventions in the landscape that inserted her naked figure (or its outline or contours) in a natural setting -- fused aspects of Conceptual, process, performance, body, feminist, and land art. While contributing significantly to these varied dialogues, her work does not fit neatly within any of the accepted terms used to describe artistic activity in the decade of the 1970s.
Embracing the aims of feminism, Mendieta quietly subverted the monumental gestures of male land artists such as Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer by working at a human scale in the landscape. Critical of the exclusion of artists of diverse races and ethnicities from the art world and early feminism, she vehemently asserted her own trans-cultural identity. Borrowing freely from a variety of cultural traditions throughout the world, she frequently appropriated symbols and aspects of the ritual practices of ancient and indigenous cultures of the Americas, Africa, and Europe in her art. While abnegating all forms of boundaries, Mendieta's cipher -- the naked female form that performs in the studio, merges with the landscape, is etched on a leaf, or is burned into the soil or a tree trunk -- remained at the center of her production.
Born in 1948 in Havana, Cuba, Mendieta came to the United States without her parents in 1961 as a twelve-year old fleeing Castro's Revolution. Her personal and professional development was greatly informed by the painful experience of exile as well as the cross-fertilization of Caribbean and North American values. In 1980 she returned to the island of her birth, eighteen years after her traumatic exile as an adolescent. Over the next three years, Mendieta made seven visits to Cuba, developing strong ties with a community of emerging artists there and immersing herself in the island's rich Afro-Cuban traditions. She also served as an important conduit of information between Cuban and North American art worlds. To this day, Ana Mendieta remains the only Cuban expatriate from the United States to participate fully in Cuban national exhibitions.

While deeply rooted in her personal experience, Mendieta's art reveals a passionate desire to connect with a wider, collective human heritage. Her aim to unravel layers of individual and society history and unmask latent ethnic, cultural, and gender biases in society, was to foster greater self-awareness and comprehension of the complex diversity of humanity. It is for this reason that her humble yet prolific production as an artist continues to be relevant today. The meaning of her work has particular resonance in a global society struggling to grasp the overwhelming points of correspondences and differences between individual, nation, and culture.
Ana Mendieta: Earth Body, Sculpture and Performance 1972-1985 was organized by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. The exhibition is made possible by The Henry Luce Foundation, the Latino Initiatives Pool, administered by the Smithsonian Center for Latino Initiatives, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Bruce T. Halle Family Foundation, and The Judith Rothschild Foundation. Initial research was supported by Craig Robins and a Curatorial Research Fellowship from the Getty Grant Program. Additional support for the exhibition catalog was made possible through the generosity of Carlos and Rosa de la Cruz and Isabel and Ricardo Ernst.
Following its presentation at the Whitney, the Mendieta exhibition will be on view at the Hirshhorn from October 14, 2004 through January 6, 2005; the Des Moines Art Center from February 25 through May 22, 2005; and the Miami Art Museum from October 7, 2005 though January 15, 2006.
Artist's Talk: On Thursday, July 8 at 7 pm, artist Janine Antoni will present Under the Influence of Ana Mendieta, the first of a new Whitney series exploring important inspirations and influences among artists. Antoni discusses her sculptures and performances and their relationship to the work of Ana Mendieta. Olga M. Viso, curator of Ana Mendieta: Earth Body Sculpture and Performance 1972-1985, identifies Antoni as a contemporary artist working in an idiom pioneered by the elder artist. Like Mendieta, Viso explains, Antoni "evolved an approach to sculpture rooted in performance and focused on the efficacy of her physical mark and its relationship to the history of art and contemporary culture." In this artist's talk, Antoni discusses Mendieta's example against her own distinct practice.
The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated 288-page catalog, co-published by the Hirshhorn and Hatje Cantz Verlag in Ostfildem, Germany, and distributed by DAP. The publication is the most definitive monograph produced to date on the work of Ana Mendieta, and contains biographical, analytical and interpretive essays by Olga Viso, curator of the exhibition; Chrissie Iles, curator of film and video, Whitney Museum; art historian Julia Herzberg; and art critic Guy Brett. Additionally, art historian Laura Roulet has contributed an extensive chronology of the artist's life and career.

Everyone knows what a quilt is, I hope. They can be very impressive works of art capturing a specific theme or time period in a person's life. The art represented in quilts can be arranged by patterns, and stitched together. Some are even displayed.
Thanks to an idea generated by sapphireluna and some inspiration from wordynessie's fic, Patchwork, I bring you a new activity for this year's festival.
This year, I want to create a NejiTen quilt, or more accurately, I want us to create a quilt. I'm sure you may all be wondering how, and I can assure you all that you will not need any sewing knowledge. All you need is some creativity and a square canvas. So to all you graphic designers and artists out there, you game? You just need to make a NejiTen patch to add to the quilt. The patch needs to reflect the question, "why do you love NejiTen?" For example, if you like them because you like Neji!abuse (lolz) then you may consider creating some art that depicts Tenten teasing Neji.
- You must be an artist or graphic designer.
- The submission you make for the quilt will be resized to fit a dimension of 400x400, so keep that in consideration when making your patch.
- For artists, please submit original/new work submissions for the quilt.
- Graphic designers, please make sure to credit all your sources.
- Don't steal, copy or manipulate other people's work. Not only will it not end up in the quilt, but it will also get you banned from the community.
- Patches must be submitted between February 9th and February 22nd. Time frame may change depending on submissions made during this time.
- You are allowed to make up to 3 pathces if you are that eager.
- Patches can be submitted through a post to this community. For those who are not members, but still wish to participate, just e-mail me your submission to email@example.com.
I tried to make that as clear as possible. If there is still confusion or some kind of concern, please leave a comment.

We study the structural change of the vector spectral function and integrated
production rates of dileptons in the presence of the chiral mixing induced
at finite density. The mixing produces multiple bumps and peaks around the
masses of the $\rho, \omega$ and $\phi$ resonances in the spectral function.
The arising modification becomes pronounced when the mass difference between
parity partners decreases. In particular, the emergent enhancement around the
vacuum $\phi$ meson in the production rates serves as an excellent signature
of the partially-restored chiral symmetry in heavy-ion collisions.

Mother Leeds and her Jersey Devil

Equally as stunning as my connection with the Weeping Lady was our ability to summon the spirit of Henrietta "Mother" Leeds. Her tomb existed in the same cemetery as the Weeping Lady. This just confirms the diversity of the spiritual energy and activity that exists in the cemetery.

When we came across the tomb of Henrietta Leeds, Deedee immediately felt the presence of the supernatural. We quickly set up a makeshift séance. As we approached the tomb, a figure began to take form, as you can see in the picture I quickly snapped with the camera I had on me. It was, unfortunately, the only picture I was able to take, because soon after I snapped the picture all of our electronics completely stopped working. It felt like something out of the twilight zone—but, wait… it gets even better.

The sky turned completely dark, but only where we holding our séance. The candles that we had with us began to burn a black color; they gave off the fragrance of rotting carcass. The clouds drew near to us and grey dismalness prevailed. The Earth began to shake. A full figure took form, dressed in a fashion that told us she was from the early 1800s.

We had invoked the being, who wasn't entirely demon, but certainly wasn't entirely woman either. The truth is, the woman that was that of a "Mother" Leeds, who didn't say whether or not she was Henrietta. It was, however, part of the Leeds ancestry, as this is where we invoked the spirit.

You see, in those days, contraception and birth control weren't exactly a part of everyday living. Mother Leeds was kind of a tramp of sorts. When she was pregnant with her thirteenth child, she secluded herself to the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Here she gave birth to the child, cursing it, and saying, "Let it be the Devil." And so it was.

Now, via the séance, we were able to find out that the Jersey Devil isn't entirely human. With that being said, he isn't the devil, either. He is the spawn of Satan, incarnate, sent to wreak havoc upon the area that was cursed by the whorish acts of Mother Leeds. As for Mother Leeds, she was taken to Hell in the flesh, similar to way Moses was taken to Heaven. This is who we had conjured and this is from whom we heard the account.

Normally, to get to where the Jersey Devil resides, you have to park your car, walk a whole lot, swim across a river, and climb up a very specific tree. Many have tried, and according to history, only very few have made it. The accounts differ. Others have had their own experiences with the Jersey Devil outside of the Pine Barrens, on the rare occasions that he ventures out of his zone. Again all accounts vary.

If you're wondering where this is going, you've made it through!! During the séance, this piece came to me. It was given to me by Mother Leeds right before we sent her back to Hell—where she rightfully belongs. This piece gives off an insane amount of energy. Here's the thing, it's a dark energy. It has been given a white light divination that will protect its host, but the piece is dark in nature. It holds powers of witchery and dark magic; and of the overlords of Hell, because that is where Mother Leeds is now—sleeping around with the demons and other beings in Hell. It comes naturally, because she's a whore.

This piece will also allow you bi-locate to your existence to the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. This is a very lonesome and depressing place. I just want to forewarn you of that now. You will be given the chance to experience the Jersey Devil on your own. The outcome of this experience depends on you, but I will tell you this much: THIS PIECE WILL NOT PUT YOU IN HARM'S WAY. Again, we have cast white light energy into it that will allow you experience the power that this piece has to offer, without running the risk of having it harm you either physically or spiritually.

This piece is definitely a rare find. If it wasn't, I'm sure that somebody somewhere would have given a full description of what the Jersey Devil looks like. Well one thing is for sure… you'll surely know what it looks like when you're done with the piece!!

IT HAS SINCE BEEN NOTED THAT THIS PIECE IS STERLING, WHICH IS HIGHLY CONDUCIVE TO PARANORMAL ENERGIES.

REMEMBER, DEEDEE WILL BE OUT ON INVESTIGATION UNTIL THE 24TH. SHIPPING WILL RESUME WHEN SHE RETURNS.

I dreamed that I met a mermaid who could turn into a seagull... and she looked like a girl from my old school, Hanne.
Turns out it was her; though she didn't look any older than then. (She did say she was the same age as Gaby Bremer, which - in retrospect - was odd since I don't think she could have met her at school since they weren't there at the same time. And besides, Hanne was in my year while it wasn't Gaby but rather her sister who was.)
We ended up driving somewhere together in a motor home.
...I have no idea what that was supposed to mean.

Secretary Daly's Weekly Letter
Last week was a productive and busy time for DJJ staff, our providers, and our stakeholders, as we continued our work in bettering the lives of Florida's children and families. I hope you will take a moment to read the stories about the accomplishments of our agency staff, our colleagues, and the youth in our care.
As a reminder, don't forget that I am always looking for opportunities to showcase the work you all do – on and off the clock – to enrich our communities. I know there is even more going on than what I report here, so I would like to encourage each of you to keep the weekly letter in mind and remember to share your good news. It's easy – email firstname.lastname@example.com or call (850) 921–5900 by Thursday at noon.

On Tuesday, January 24th Governor Rick Scott along and the Florida Cabinet declared January 2017 as National Human Trafficking Awareness Month. As a member of the Statewide Council on Human Trafficking, I was honored to accept this resolution alongside the Chair of the Statewide Council and member of the Florida Cabinet, Attorney General Pam Bondi. The resolution highlighted that all people are born with an unalienable right to freedom and recognized human trafficking as modern-day slavery. It also commended "law enforcement, local governments, communities and citizens for their support and efforts in combating this modern day slave trade and for remaining vigilant and cognizant of the issues in order to protect citizens and visitors of our great state."
I would like to personally thank all of you who work tirelessly on behalf of our victimized youth that are deeply affected by this heinous crime. We have many wonderful staff within our agency that work hard to support our partner agencies on cases, collaborate with their local task forces, advocate on behalf of survivors, train other staff, and work so tirelessly to increase awareness on human trafficking in their community.
At the Cabinet meeting, I also had the honor of awarding the 2016 DJJ Human Trafficking Advocate of the Year Award to Circuit 13 JPOS Jesus Sosa. JPOS Sosa personally volunteered to serve as the human trafficking liaison for Circuit 13. He has provided over 30 hours of human trafficking training to staff throughout the state and continuously provides direct assistance on specific cases, such as participating in staffing, connecting youth with services and providing them with clothing and other necessities. In addition to all the hard work he does within the agency, he also actively participates in his local task force and collaborates with partner agencies and community stakeholders to ensure that we are doing the best we can as an agency to serve each youth.
I commend JPOS Sosa for his hard work and ongoing dedication in addressing human trafficking, not only within DJJ, but within his local community. Thank you JPOS Sosa for making a difference in the lives of countless young people and for your efforts in combatting human trafficking in our state.
The Counsel of State Government's Justice Center recently published the Juvenile Justice Research-to-Practice Implementation Resources, with support from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. These online resources provide juvenile justice agency managers, staff, and other practitioners with concrete strategies, tools, examples, and best-practice models to help them implement research-based policies and practices and improve outcomes for youth in the juvenile justice system.
The resources, organized by common challenges for juvenile justice programs and agencies, draw from the expertise of researchers and the promising practices identified by practitioners around the country. Each resource offers methods to address those common challenges, specifically in the areas of Family Engagement and Involvement and Evidence-Based Programs and Services.
Youth AN, a recent residential program graduate of DOVE Vocational Academy and current Twin Oaks Project Connect client in Circuit 1, successfully achieved her GED. She is in an independent living program, Children in Crisis, and is currently interviewing as a strong candidate for employment that will help support her further academic endeavors in attending Northwest Florida State College beginning in March.
Through Project Connect, she received help getting proper identification, completing her financial aid application and enrolling in college, and received trainings related to independent living skills, employability, interviewing skills, and job search assistance. She was self-motivated to volunteer to receive aftercare services through Project Connect outside of her direct probation supervision. She has whole-heartedly accepted the assistance and made the most of the opportunity. We salute her courage, celebrate her success, and look forward to watching her grow!
Eckerd Kids Project Bridge youth recently attended a mentoring session at Crossroads Corral. Mentor Lindsay Brim provided life skills on overcoming obstacles in order to achieve your goals. Youth were able to visualize that in life, every goal that they set can come with obstacles. Sometimes goals need to be reassessed if the expectations are too high. As a team, Eckerd Kids youth worked together to build an obstacle course, then try to get the horse through the obstacle course without any steering or touching. The youth realized that their expectations were too high, and they had to reassess their goals, and were then able to achieve the smaller goal. They realized no matter what obstacles may come their way, with communication, focus, patience, and teamwork they can overcome any obstacle. These young men were able to step outside of their comfort zone and displayed true leadership working together.
Circuit 4 Chief Probation Officer Donna Webb and North Regional Director for Probation Jill Clemens participated in the Northeast Florida Human Trafficking Coalition and Task Force Press Conference on January 17 at the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
During the press conference, Sheriff Mike Williams highlighted the number of victims rescued and the number of traffickers prosecuted. In addition, State Attorney Melissa Nelson announced the newly formed Human Trafficking Division within her office and announced that CPO Webb has been named Co-Chair of the Northeast Florida Human Trafficking Coalition.
Probation staff from Circuit 4 participated in "The Gathering" on January 19, sponsored by the Northeast Florida Human Trafficking Coalition and Task Force. The Gathering featured a networking event followed by a program and panel discussion that was designed to highlight prevention, awareness and support for the victims of human trafficking and their families. Probation staff manned an information booth during the networking session. In addition, CPO Donna Webb represented the Coalition and served as one of the six panelists during the discussion. Over 200 law enforcement officers and community members took part in the event.
The Circuit 4 probation office worked with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to schedule a visit from the FLOW Mobile ID van at the probation office in Jacksonville. The FLOW vehicle helped fifteen probationary youth receive their government issued state identification cards. In addition, three adults including a new JPO were able to update their driver's licenses. The kids were thrilled to receive their new cards and the FLOW vehicle will return to Jacksonville on March 27. I would like to thank JDAI Coordinator Vicki Burke, JPOs Minetricia Monbrun and Johnathon Harden and Delinquency Prevention Specialist Andria George for coordinating this event.

Probation staff in Circuit 7 participated in four separate human trafficking awareness walks on January 11 in honor of Human Trafficking Awareness Month. The event was held by the Circuit 7, Freedom 7 Human Trafficking Task Force and the simultaneous walks entitled "Light the Way, Walk With Me," were held in Flagler, Putnam, St. Johns and Volusia Counties.
Each event began at 5pm and included the disbursement of anti-human trafficking brochures and posters, as well as wallet sized indicator cards that list the signs of human trafficking and the steps to take if you suspect someone is being trafficked. Additionally, each participant was provided a blue glow stick and lanyard that was worn to "Light the Way" during walks, which all took place at dusk. Over 250 community partners and citizens participated in the walks.
Last week marked Florida Severe Weather Awareness Week, and statewide offices held a tornado drill at 10:10 EST on Wednesday. Pictured here is the tornado drill at the Circuit 14 probation office. ACPO Fred Womack announced the drill and staff members reported to the conference room which is located in the center of the building with no windows. Staff followed their Circuits COOP Plan and got under tables to demonstrate how to stay as safe as possible in the event of an actual tornado event. Thank you to our entire team for participating in these important and potentially lifesaving exercises.
Circuit 18 probation staff participated in the 2nd Annual "Let Freedom Ring" black and white banquet at the First Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Sanford on January 21. SJPO Sharon Washington served as the Master of Ceremonies while Circuit Court Judge Susan Stacy was a featured speaker. The event was filled with reflections on Dr. Martin Luther King's legacy, inspirational music, speakers and conversation.

Eckerd Kids Project Bridge Program and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium recently partnered together in an effort to inspire and motivate at-risk youth in the program and provide an opportunity for them to showcase their speaking skills.
During a luncheon on January 20, DJJ staff from three circuits accompanied the youth as they visited the aquarium and spoke about how the Eckerd program has changed their lives. Each youth had the opportunity to give a speech and were also awarded a plaque.
Delinquency Prevention Specialist Andria George accompanied a group of at-risk kids from Lee High School in Jacksonville to a Jacksonville Jaguars game against the Minnesota Vikings on December 11 at Everbank Field. The tickets were generously donated by the Jaguars and for some of these teens it marked their first experience at a live sporting event. The 10 youth enjoyed themselves and the experience, from partaking in the delicious stadium food to interacting with each other, fans, their teacher, Amy Donofrio, their mentor Jay Harris, and Ms. George. These young men made 2016 a year of new experiences and achieving extraordinary goals.
The teens are part of a group called Evac, which is the word "cave" spelled backwards to indicate the shortened form of the word evacuate. It's a darkness to light concept where the youth are focused on evacuating the darkness around them, and becoming a light to lead others out of the darkness. So far, they have met with U.S. district attorneys, state attorneys and other Jacksonville leaders.
In addition, some of the teens were presenters at the White House Coalition for Juvenile Justice National Youth Summit, and also attended the White House Briefing on Juvenile Justice, where they shared their views on racial disparity and other injustices they have experienced in the justice system. The youth also had the honor of meeting with former President Barack Obama. These students have all experienced trauma; one story was so profound that it was featured on the cover of the New York Times.
The Juvenile Justice Circuit Advisory Board in Circuit 2 held their regular quarterly meeting in Tallahassee on January 19. Chair Donnie Read delivered opening remarks, updated attendees on recent events, and commended participants on their efforts to assist local youth.
Alice Sims, Assistant Secretary, Prevention & Victim Services, welcomed the group to the meeting and thanked them for their collaborative efforts in working together to create new outreach opportunities for area young people. Among the items discussed were: membership, sub-committee engagement, the 2017 calendar, the circuit's faith & community service event, the Racial and Ethnic Disparities Conference, the community forum at Florida A&M University, and summer and afterschool services.

The Manatee RJDC recently hosted an equal employment opportunity (EEO) training for staff members at the facility. The training was held by DJJ's EEO Officer Derrick Elias and was very informative. Superintendent Terry Carter reports that his staff really enjoyed the training and asked many questions of Mr. Elias. Following the training, the RJDC hosted a barbeque for those staff in attendance and handed out several awards. Food Service Worker Robert Greer was named the South Region Employee of the Month for the month of October, Corporal Robert Peterson was presented a plaque for his 30 years of service to the Department, and Corporal Eddie Turner was named South Region Employee of the Month for the month of December.
The Pinellas RJDC held an all-staff training session last week which focused on red-flag behaviors, women's health issues, medical procedures, and a variety of other topics. After the training session was over the facility served pastries and refreshments and handed out several awards. Food Services Worker Cristy Harris was recognized as the Employee of the Month for December and Administrative Assistant Jill Jestes was named Employee of the Month for January. Both employees have gone above and beyond and were very deserving of this recognition.
Residential Providers, Stakeholders, and DJJ Staff Learn about TRACE
On Tues., Jan. 24, 2017, DJJ held a Trauma Responsive and Caring Environment (TRACE) meeting that featured Principal Owner of Youth Trauma and Justice Solutions Monique Marrow, PhD, who is a child clinical psychologist. Dr. Marrow, working with the Residential Service's Policy and Programs Unit, developed and presented the TRACE tool for programs to use in conducting self-assessments regarding the implementation of trauma-responsive practices in service delivery.
Office of Residential Services (ORS) Assistant Secretary Laura Moneyham was joined by corporate and residential program provider staff from G4S Youth Services, LLC; Rite of Passage; Sequel TSI of Florida, LLC; Twin Oaks Juvenile Development, Inc.; and Youth Opportunity Investments, LLC. In addition, Sandy Neidert, from the Office of the State Courts Administrator (OSCA), presented information about the OSCA's work in how courts that deal with children, including dependency, delinquency, and family court, are addressing trauma-responsive practices. Participating DJJ staff represented ORS, Probation & Community Intervention, and Technical Assistance.
Special thanks go to ORS Programs & Policy Coordinator Meg Bates, and her staff members Brandi Clevenger, Garrett Tucker, and especially Vanessa Wicker-Reeves who organized the meeting, provided support for Dr. Marrow in preparation of the event and throughout the day, and helped facilitate various aspects of the meeting.
Dr. Marrow earned her doctorate in Child Clinical Psychology from The Ohio State University. She is a member of the National Childhood Traumatic Stress Network and currently serves as an instructional Leader for the Center for Trauma Recovery and Juvenile Justice at the University of Connecticut and is a training specialist for the Center on Trauma and Children at the University of Kentucky. Her focus is on the training and dissemination of trauma-focused interventions for youth in the juvenile justice system or for youth who are at risk of becoming involved in the system. She works with many boards and committees on the issues. As a part of her work, Dr. Marrow co-authored a training curriculum titled, "Think Trauma: A Training for Staff in Juvenile Justice and Residential Settings." Not only has Dr. Marrow worked in the mental health area, her juvenile justice experience includes a 12-year career with the Ohio Department of Youth Services where she served as a psychologist, psychology supervisor, and finally as the Deputy Director of Treatment and Rehabilitation Services for the Department. It was there that she initiated the Department's first trauma-focused intervention program designed to provide training for staff, treatment programming for youth, and modifications to environments, policies, and practices to ensure consistency with trauma-focused practices.
Last week's meeting was the culmination of two years of activities that involved Dr. Marrow and DJJ's Office of Residential Services with the goal of providing the best service to the youth in our care. Those who participated in the meeting were asked to provide ongoing feedback as we progress in our efforts to implement trauma responsive and caring environments in our residential program and further the principles of the Juvenile Justice System Improvement Process.
The meeting incorporated an overview of the "Think Trauma Training" curriculum and small group activities such as the one shown here.
The TRACE is intended to be a tool that will help providers assess their program's progress in implementing a trauma-responsive approach for youth and staff. Unlike other tools that may be used to assess a program, the TRACE is a best-practice, inspirational tool and not one that is designed to look at meeting minimum, basic standards.
Last week, AMIkids completed the 2017 Winter Challenge Event in Hudson located in Pasco County, where 14 teams of youth from residential and non-residential programs that are operated by AMIkids gathered at the Word of Life Youth Camp to compete against one another. Alongside the youth were employees, volunteers, and mentors who cheered for each team that hoped to receive top awards in both academic and sporting events. The three-day event taught the youth about teamwork, leadership, and to persevere.
Day one of the challenge was the science fair judging and creative writing segment. For this segment of the Challenge, students developed projects that included studies of what liquids may stain human teeth, Mnemonics, and electromagnetism. Once this portion of the day was complete, the challengers then participated in the spelling bee portion of the event. Towards the end of day, AMIkids Senior Vice President of Operations Heyward Golden (shown right, talking with a competitor) shared a powerful message with the youth that emphasized the importance of having fun and respecting peers for the days ahead. The evening ended with speeches from the students that included such topics as the individual who most inspired them in life and how they would improve education in the public school system.
Days two and three were filled with track and field, academic quiz bowls, marlinspike, volleyball, broad jump, tug-o-war, and first aid events. On the evening of the third day, students gathered for an awards banquet and dinner. The closing ceremonies included encouraging words from AMIkids CEO O.B. Stander, medals, and trophies presented to the winning individuals and teams from each competition.
Shown right (left to right): ORS Assistant Secretary Laura Moneyham, Heyward Golden, and South Regional Commitment Chief Michell McCarthy were on hand throughout the event.
Marion Youth Academy Facility Administrator John Fletcher shared with ORS North Regional Director Billy Starke, Jr., a letter (shown left) from a youth who was recently released from this non-secure program, which serves boys, ages 14 to 19, and is operated by Sequel TSI of Florida, LLC. In his email to Billy, John said, "This is why we do this job." The following are the words written by the boy:
I can not explain how thankful I am for everything you've done for me. You have went above and beyond to make sure I'm ok, make sure I change, and make sure I go home to my family in 6 months. This has been the hardest, most stressful thing I've ever had to go through in my life but it has made such a big, positive impact on my life. You taught me a lot about being a man, not letting petty things get to me, and how to be humble. Because of you I'll think before I commit a crime, think about every thing I went through in here. Like you said I have bigger things to handle, my daughter. When I graduate I want to invite you. Thank you Mr. Fletcher…
The residents of the RAM-C (Residential Alternative for the Mentally Challenged) Program, a non-secure program for boys, ages nine to 18, which is operated by Twin Oaks Juvenile Development, Inc., recently attended the Florida State University (FSU) basketball game against Virginia Tech. The FSU basketball team's partnership with RAM-C program is beneficial to the residents, providing the boys with opportunities to meet the players and attend games as an incentive reward for those who do well in the program, making academic progress and achieving their overall program goals.
Shown above are RAM-C youth and staff members. Holding the letter "O" is School Administrator Nicole Miller; holding the letter "A" is Boys & Girls Club Director Natisha Miller, and Joe Jones is the staff member who is seated at the top right of the section, wearing a blue jacket and cap.
The RAM-C residents also recently participated in the "Law & Your Community Program," a nationally-recognized hands-on interactive training program designed for young people, ages 13 to 21, which is designed to improve the student's communication skills when talking with law enforcement officers. Shown in the photo to the right are RAM-C youth role playing how to respond to an officer when a vehicle is pulled over. The program also works to increase the youth's understanding of federal, state, and local laws.
Afterwards, boys enjoyed lunch at the Golden Corral as a reward for their positive behaviors. The boys also enjoyed a tour of the FSU campus led by Therapist Ashley Lewis and School Administrator Nicole Miller, who are both FSU graduates.
Tour stops included Strozier Library, the Student Union, classrooms, a dormitory, the food court, and other important FSU monuments like the Westcott Fountain, Integration Statue and Doak Campbell Stadium. The boys also received FSU swag, including shirts, backpacks, and sunglasses from the FSU Career Center. The boys returned to RAM-C and shared all the information that they learned with their peers.
The Palm Beach Youth Academy (PBYA), a high-risk program for boys, ages 15 to 21, which is operated by Sequel TSI of Florida, LLC, was visited by nationally renowned artist David Anasagasti as part of the 2016 South Florida Art Basel Event. While on site, the artist talked to the residents about his childhood growing up in South Florida, how he turned to art as a method of creative expression and a means to provide for himself, and how art was a way for him to stay out of trouble.
David now has had his works featured on a worldwide scale and has been featured in countless art related magazines, TV shows, festivals, etc. David currently has a gallery in what is known as the Miami's Wynwood District and is the founder of Wynwood Radio, which is a nationally syndicated radio station out of South Florida with a mission to introduce listeners to new cutting edge music, support local musicians, visual arts, and DJs, and to bring the community together under one domain.
While speaking to the residents, David told them that they have an open invitation to visit his gallery as his personal guest.
He also painted some of his famous "watching eyes" in the program's newly created library. At a time when artists from all over are coming to South Florida to promote and sell their work, David's visit was remarkable and we thank him for bringing additional color to the youth and the facility through his artistic creations.
Another artist—a culinary artist—visited PBYA: Chef Rodney Goree. While on site, Chef Goree spoke to the youth about how he transformed his troubled childhood into a successful career in the culinary arts field. He currently works as the personal chef to New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith and a handful of his New York Jets teammates. In addition to sharing his story with the boys, he gave them an overview of the culinary arts field and the multitudes of opportunities available to them should they choose culinary arts as a career. The highlight was when he prepared two of the dishes for which he is most well-known: fresh spring rolls and seafood rolls.
In addition to hosting artists as guest speakers, PBYA and the School District of Palm Beach County held the program's mid-year commencement ceremony. In total there were seven graduates. Six of the seven students attended the ceremony; the seventh was discharged from the program prior to the event. All seven students who graduated did so with honors.
The facility educators were joined by several members of the school district's leadership team who attended the event, including Dr. Angela Bess who is director of the school district's Educational Alternatives Program.
Shown in the group picture is (above) Dr. Angela Bess from the School District of Palm Beach along with Educational Alternatives Assistant Principal Shelia Harvey-Lawrence and Lake Worth Middle School Assistant Principal Jeffrey Neal.
Last week, local yoga instructor, Alex Emmanuel, facilitated a special yoga class for some of the PBYA residents. Those who participated in the class were there on a voluntary basis. Prior to the commencement of the one-hour class, the students were given a brief overview about the art of yoga and how many use it to create harmony within their minds, bodies, and souls.
A total of 16 residents participated in this first-time class. While many were initially apprehensive and seemed to think it would be something easy to do, it only took a few minutes into the class for those students to acknowledge how physically challenging it was. By the end of the class, the residents not only expressed how much they enjoyed yoga but they asked Alex how soon he would return to teach another class.
While nothing has been finalized, the program is working with Alex to return and to teach yoga on a regular basis, allowing the PBYA to incorporate the activity into its monthly recreational regimen. Many thanks go to PBYA Community Liaison Peggy Laguerre for organizing this special visit and the class.

For today's post, I am going to share with you one of my favorite playlists. Originally, this playlist was just a subcategory, I guess you can call of it, of my autumn playlist. This is my go-to for writing, falling asleep, and calming myself down from an anxiety attack. These songs make me feel at peace.
I hope this playlist helps you as much as it helps me. Listen on Spotify.

Taking Trisha to Lunch
Mr. Paulsen and gives a ride on Trisha, the recently refurbished 3 wheeled bike taxi, to Drew Morales and Will Modjeski for answering the trivia question of the day, Tuesday.
To promote "take ride your bike to school week" Mr. Paulsen has been offering rides to and from lunch on the tri-shaw. He has also been posting a bicycle trivia question of the day and the winner receives free transport to lunch.
The tricycle taxi was built in 1948 in Malaysia and was gifted to Cotter in the early 1990s. For many years it sat in the lobby outside of the president's office, and, for many others, it was stationed in the St. Cecilia theater lobby.
Mr. Paulsen and the bike shop students tuned up the bike, which they found had some unusually sized parts.
Rides are being offered for $1 to non-trivia winners with the collected funds going to maintenance costs.

Good nourishment through proper diet, exercise and lifestyle choices was an ideal that our predecessors strongly believed in and implemented into their life. It's a known fact that the food you eat reflects on your body's health and alertness of mind. Food is an essential source of nourishment, and more often than not we tend to ignore it. Ayurveda is the ancient Indian system of Medicine, and it offers effective and long lasting benefits .Since we are governed by certain doshas according to Ayurveda, we need to ensure that our diet is appropriate. Since imbalance in one or more doshas is common, it's important to follow a diet that's in accordance to your dominant dosha to balance. The goal is attaining mind-body harmony.
Our routine and diet needs to be in sync and compatible to our innate Prakriti. Many people rely on saturated and fatty acids as they munch on a little food through amidst a busy schedule and the amounts of responsibility. We are constantly plagued by varied amounts of deficiencies and allergies which affect our immune system to a great extent. Lack of nutrients and erratic eating habits has severely affected our health. Since each of us has dominant doshas that embody our general temperament, a diet that's favorable to the predominant dosha can help in attaining balance. Whether there is an excess of Vata, Pitta or Kapha in your system, you can control your diet to ensure that you do not eat food that would clash with the qualities of your dosha. Once you have determined your dosha, you can implement the diet plan that are favorable for each dosha. Herbal dietary supplements fill the required nutritional gap which we do not get it from food on regular basis they are amino acids, vitamins, proteins and minerals.
Ayurveda lays great emphasis on sensation, tastes and pleasures and believe that a nutritious diet can pave the way to health and wellness. Our olfactory senses are all connected to one another, and the food that we eat has a direct proportion to our general mood and temperament. Our taste buds send signals to our brain about the nutritional value of the food we consume. The six main tastes in Ayurveda are six tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent. Every individual needs a healthy balance of these tastes. But based on your dosha, you might require one taste more than the other since each person has different kinds of dosha imbalance. Which is why, it's important to follow a diet that's suitable for each of the dosha.
Diet For Vata
Regardless of your body type, an imbalance in your dosha can affect your life and health to a great extent. Ayurvedic dietary supplements and a healthy diet can bring balance back to your system. Vata types have a light and athletic build. These folks are naturally creative and sensitive. They prefer warm and humid climates and suffer from dry skin. When your Vata is aggravated, problems of dry skin increase and constipation become a usual problem. Excessive consumption of bitter, spicy and astringent taste which contribute to the imbalance of Vata dosha. Dehydration, weight loss, viral infections are some of the problems that an imbalanced Vata brings on. Sweet, salty and sour tastes are recommended to balance out the Vata, and moist and easily digestible foods are ideal. Boiled and steamed fresh vegetables, black pepper, mild spices like cumin, cinnamon, fennel, ripe fruits, and warm milk are all favorable food for Vata individuals.

Diet For Pitta
People who have a dominant Pitta dosha are of a medium build and muscular. They have a tendency to feel warm, have a reddish complexion, suffer from thinning hair or balding and have a strong appetite. They are extremely intelligent and ambitious people and perfection appeals to them. They tend to become irritated easily and are extremely passionate about life. When the Pitta is out of balance, individuals experience a slew of negative emotions that can be off-putting considering their pleasant personality otherwise. Pitta types should stick to tastes and flavors like sweet, bitter and astringent. Pitta types favor cool food and liquids over hot and spicy food. Diary products is a great option since it will cool down the innate fiery attitude. Signs of imbalance in Pitta includes Diarrhea, excessive hunger, heartburn and bacterial infections. Alcohol, oily and spicy food, fermented food can create an imbalance. Boiled and raw vegetables, mild cooling spices, fennel tea, chamomile tea are some of the foods and ingredients ideal for Pitta types.

Diet For Kapha
People who have a predominant Kapha are heavy, slow, lazy and need constant motivation to get things done. They have a strong build and great stamina but feel extremely lethargic. They are stable and methodical and prefer dry and warm climates. Kapha types gain weight easily which is something that they need to control if they want to live a balanced lifestyle. They are down to earth and happy and rarely loose emotional balance. Kapha types have a slower and heavier digestion. Stimulation of all kinds can help in beating the slow and lethargic feeling that Kapha types feel. An imbalance of the Kapha dosha leads to sluggish bowels, water retention, weight gain, excessive sleep and other such problems. A light, low-fat, warm diet with pungent, bitter and astringent tastes are advisable for Kapha types. Boiled and steamed vegetables, ripe fruits, honey are great diet options to keep the Kapha dosha is in control. Mild spices and calming herbal teas with peppermint, raspberry, and fenugreek are perfect staples.
These are the necessary dietary changes that you need to make in your daily routine to strike a cordial balance between the doshas. Incorporating proper diet with regular exercises and meditation. .can ensure a happy, balanced and wholesome life.

BMW has an ace card up its sleeve to get all you BM enthusiasts foaming at the mouth – the Concept M5, due to be revealed at the Shanghai motor show next week.
While still a concept car, expect it to be close to the real thing, as BMW tend to make their concept cars pretty close to the real thing.
While fans may be disappointed at the presence of a twin turbo V8 under the bonnet rather than the V10 that featured in the previous car, BMW is confident that it's enough of a sporty, high-revving number to keep the doubters at bay.
The new engine is rumoured to be more powerful than the old V10, and early indications suggest it could be as much as 550bhp.
The new car is expected to reach dealerships later this year, with the price yet to be confirmed.

Well the title could refer to lots of things.
The lack of cycling for one. I decided against cycling to work on Thursday and was unable to on Friday. In fact on Friday I had to use public transport as I was going out on Friday night in London with Tom. There were problems with the trains on Friday morning and asa result it took me some 3 1/2 hours to get from home to work. A distance of 12 miles. I could have walked it in that time!
Friday night was a trip to the Madness Concert at Earls Court. This was part of Tom's Christmas present and I think he enjoyed it. I'm sure he didn't enjoy it as much as I did though. The support act was Paul Heaton formerly of Housemartins and Beautiful South fame. He is a favourite of both Tom and I so this only enhanced the night.
Madness were absolutely fantastic. The years were rolled back and it was like it was 1981 again. I'm not the only one who forgot their age and were transported back to their teens again. If the truth be known, I was even seen to be dancing – yes, I'll repeat that again I was even seen to be dancing. I know most of you who know me will never have seen that before. The nuttiest sound around – most definitely. I can't wait until the next concert they play. Another Madstock in Victoria Park?
Leaving Earls court to head home, it was rather cold. The earlier problems with the trains still existed so we had to get the tube to Newbury Park instead and a cold walk home in freezing icy conditions. It's always a problem to get home after a concert. You can't wear a warm coat in a concert, but once you leave the concert you freeze.
Saturday was the Christmas Party at Lee Valley Youth Cycling Club. I got there at around 11am for the 12 noon start. It was a cold but lovely winter's day, but that was to change. Arriving at the club, I learned the person who was supposed to have prepared the annual quiz had failed to do so. I'm not quite sure what happened or what the breakdown in communication was. So I had to rapidly come up with a multiple choice quiz, which thanks to a bit of help from the internet I managed.
By the 12 noon start, the weather had taken a turn for the worse and around 3-4 inches of snow fell in around an hour. This meant that the food for the Christmas Party did not arrive. So we had a party for around 80 people with no food. A bit of a disaster! Then leaving the cycling centre the weather had caused chaos on the roads. In an hour we travelled 2 miles in the car. So like on Friday, it would have been quicker to have walked.
We did still manage to have the annual prize giving ceremony at the club. I am pleased to say that Tom got a special award for being the club's first member to achieve 10 years as a youth member. Well done Tom.
Saturday afternoon had been intended to be an afternoon watching sport, but given nearly every football match in England was called off, that couldn't take place. So Saturday afternoon and night was a cartoon fest! Family Guy & American Dad interspersed with the Simpsons is a good way to spend a night.
I did manage to buy a Christmas present for someone special this afternoon. I hope she has a sense of humour when it comes to opening the present.
Well its less than a week now until Christmas. It comes round far too quickly. Christmas cards are not written yet, presents not bought, even Christmas arrangements are not sorted yet. Nothing like being laid back is there? I will see my family and also Michelle over Christmas and will fit everyone else in as and when I can. I am looking forward to the time off.

When proofing behaviors, I am inspired by the wonderful, magical Dr. Seuss.
Will your dog sit, here or there?
Will your dog sit, anywhere?
Will she do sit in the class?
Will she do sit on the grass?
Would she do sit on a box?
Could she do sit wearing socks?
Will she sit, even wearing a hat?
Could she sit if she saw a bat?
Can she do sit in a car?
Can she do sit where you are?
Will your dog sit on a boat?
Will your dog sit in a moat?
Can she sit on bubble wrap?
Can she sit when people clap?
Can she do sit here or there?
Can she do sit anywhere?
she would not, could not…
on a boat,
in a moat,
wearing socks,
on a box,
near a kitty,
or a pittie,
at her class,
on the grass,
on a train,
in the rain,
near a fox,
on a box,
near candy bars,
underneath the stars,
here or there or anywhere…
Practice, practice, then you'll say
She will sit! She will sit every day!
She will sit whether here or there,
In fact, she will sit everywhere!

The flag of Malta is very dear to the locals. It has a special historic significance. Although the flag is simple in its appearance it displays the rich history of the many Maltese and foreigners that fought for its future. Today it is the pride of the Maltese people.
It was taught that the red and white colours of the flag were traditionally handed over to Malta by Count Roger 1 of Sicily during 1090. This happened when he landed in Malta after he conquered Sicily.
It is said that after the Normans completely conquered the island of Sicily, the fleet of Count Roger I landed in Malta. The Maltese fought beside him to force the Arabs out of the island. In recognition for their bravery he tore part of his own chequered red and white flag and gave it to the Maltese fighters.
This account of events was later said that it was untrue since Malta's old capital Mdina had already administrative ties with the count much before during the late middle ages.
The origin of the colours are believed to have originated from the association with the Knights of St. John who had a very strong navy force. Their flag bears the same white and red colours which bore a white cross on a red background. Today this flag is used as the official maritime flag all over the world to all Malta flagged vessels.
The George Cross was awarded to the Maltese people for exceptional bravery during the Second World War by King George VI. The Maltese people endured heavy bombing during the bombing siege between from 1940 to 1942 and claimed to be the most bombed place on earth.
The George cross is today located on the Maltese flag on the top right corner of the flag. Today the actual George Cross is exhibited at Fort St. Elmo at the national war museum. During this period the Maltese archipelago was still under British rule.
The George Cross was incorporated with the Maltese flag during 1943 until 1964 when Malta became Independent on the 21st of September 1964. From then the flag became the red and white as shown above but the George Cross which had some minor change displayed at the top right hand corner.
The George Cross remain on the flag to remind everyone of the suffering the Maltese passed through and to inspire future generation of the courage that thye need to have to guide them in their lives.
The Maltese flag represents the historical evolution of the Maltese people through many centuries.
