17th October 2018 /in Press Release /by lynnette
With just months to go until Betteshanger Sustainable Parks opens a new state-of-the-art visitor centre, including the Kent Mining Museum, an open day is being held to give local people an update on progress at the 121-hectare former colliery site near Deal.
Taking place on Saturday, November 3, the event will mark five months until the grand opening party on Saturday, March 30, 2019. Phase I of the Sustainable Parks development will include a new visitor centre encompassing the Kent Mining Museum, mining-themed outdoor play equipment, walking trails and improved activity facilities.
Guests who pre-book for the open day can take part in a hard hat tour of the building site, giving them an exclusive glimpse of the facilities to come. They will also have the opportunity to speak to the team about plans for the Kent Mining Museum, which has been designed to celebrate and preserve Kent's coal mining heritage, plus membership and volunteering opportunities.
Richard Morsley, Director of Betteshanger Sustainable Parks, said: "We have been on a long journey to provide much improved facilities for the local community. The end is in sight and the team is excited about what lies ahead. We are using the quieter winter period to prepare for the opening and to ensure the site will be looking its best come March. Landscaping is an important part of the design so we need to give it time to bed in."
Demolition of the old café and visitor centre, cycle hire and park office will begin week commencing Monday, November 5. However, at the same time a temporary space in the car park will open providing a small café, toilets and cycle hire so visitors will still be able to enjoy the park. During the works, some of the mountain bike trails will be re-routed, with the trails starting and finishing on 'The Green'.
Richard Morsley continued: "As always, the safety of our visitors remains a priority. Throughout the winter, we will maintain access to as much as the park as possible, keeping in mind the long-term goal of bigger, better facilities for everyone to enjoy."
For more information on the open day, which takes place from 10am to 3pm, and to book a free hard hat tour, visit www.betteshanger-park.co.uk/events/open-day.

Betteshanger Park and MY/PT joined forces for a second year to host Kent's toughest military obstacle course race (OCR), SURVIVAL at the former colliery site, near Deal, on Saturday, October 6.
The event saw 454 runners complete the challenging course spread across the unpredictable terrain of the old spoil heap. The inaugural junior race challenged 212 eight to fifteen year olds to a 2.5km course whilst 235 adults conquered a 10km route packed with over 70 obstacles.
Competitors were pushed physically and mentally running, jumping, swinging, wading, crawling, cycling and hauling their bodies through a series of muddy man-made and natural obstacles before crossing the finish line.
Dan Sinclair upheld the fastest finisher title for the second year and Nick Hassall was hailed course champion by completing the course THREE times.
All finishers were awarded a SURVIVAL2 medal and t-shirt.
Jay Ingram, Director, MY/PT said: "SURVIVAL2 has been a huge success. We've grown the adult event from 2017 and introduced a junior race for the first time. We listened hard to the feedback from last year and put it all into play for the year. We promised more mud and more obstacles which we certainly delivered on, plus we added a few surprises along the way."
"Our sponsors this year have been incredible and have enabled us to take the event to the next level. The team from Fight Klub Thanet warmed everyone up a treat before the race and the teams from All Access Scaffolding, TW Services, White Land Solutions, C. J. Gray, MScape Landscaping Services, Hewbourne Ltd, Major Fabrications, Crushingtons, Brandon Hire, Intercrop Ltd and the Bridal Boutique of Jules really pulled it out of the bag with the building the course and our print and signage sponsor JustSigns really helped us put the event on the map."
Richard Morsley, Director, Betteshanger Park, said: "SURVIVAL2 exceeded all of our expectations. A bigger course, bigger obstacles and a whole lot more mud! We have increased the number of runners 60% compared to last year and have no doubt that the 2019 event will grow further still. We urge everyone to sign up for SURVIVAL 2019 and benefit from the early bird rates."
Registration for the 2019 event, taking place on 5 October 2019, is now open via betteshanger-park.co.uk/survival. Early bird rates run until 31 October 2018.
Quotes from participants (sourced via social media):
"A gruelling obstacle course race, this was probably the best OCR I have ever done"
"Blew the socks off last year, thanks for putting together another great event"
"Absolutely loved it! My first time doing anything like this. 6 months ago I couldn't even run!"
"Well done for putting what looks like a beast of a course together. Going to definitely put you on the OCR map once and for all… bring it on."

SURVIVAL2: Kent's military obstacle course race returns to Betteshanger Park.
3rd August 2018 /in Press Release /by lynnette
Betteshanger Park and MY/PT have joined forces for a second year to host Kent's military obstacle course race, SURVIVAL. SURVIVAL2 will take place at the former colliery site, near Deal, on Saturday, October 6.
The event will challenge competitors to a 10km race (4km longer than 2017) packed with man-made and natural obstacles spread across the unpredictable terrain of the old spoil heap. Competitors will have to run, jump, swing, wade, crawl, ride and haul their bodies through a series of brutal obstacles before crossing the finish line.
New additions for 2018 are SURVIVAL ELITE, a dedicated wave for hard core OCR runners, allowing unlimited access to the course, and SURVIVAL JUNIOR, a 2.5km route for fearless 8 to 15 year olds.
The endurance event will challenge competitors' mental and physical ability, whilst also encouraging some serious outdoor fun. All finishers will be awarded a SURVIVAL2 medal.
Jay Ingram, Director, MY/PT said: "I am extremely excited to be bringing SURIVAL back to Betteshanger Park for a second year. We learnt a lot from our first event and have taken time to review the feedback. 2018 is going to be epic! We're promising competitors a load more mud, plenty more obstacles and a more challenging course than ever before."
"We know the motivations for entering the race will be different for everyone. For some, it will be about being the first over the finish line whilst for others, completing the course will be about celebrating personal achievement and racing at their own pace. I am particularly excited about the additions of SURVIVAL ELITE, which we are pitching at the most competitive racers, and SURVIVAL JUNIOR. Keeping kids active is so important and this event encapsulates outdoor fun within a safe environment."
Richard Morsley, Director, Betteshanger Park, said: "SURVIVAL2 is for anyone who has a sense of adventure and a strong determination. The course is challenging enough for the most seasoned of racer but achievable for all levels of fitness. We urge everyone to sign up, fitness levels should certainly not be a barrier to entry and there is no time limit to complete the course. Everyone will get wet, muddy and covered in coal spoil but we guarantee everyone will have a smile on their face when they cross the finish line."
Registration for the event is now open via betteshanger-park.co.uk/survival

Kent Mining Heritage Foundation Launches Public Fundraising Campaign
DEAL, 12th July 2018: The Kent Mining Heritage Foundation has launched its public fundraising campaign at Betteshanger Park. The launch saw Mark Lumsdon-Taylor, Chair, Kent Mining Heritage Foundation, make a public appeal to help raise £250,000 towards the Foundation's £1.8 million fundraising target. The campaign, and the work of the Kent Mining Heritage Foundation, will support the development of the Betteshanger Project on the former colliery site, near Deal, a major regeneration project for East Kent.
Tamasin Jarrett, Development Manager, appealed to a crowd of press, supporters and stakeholders: "Today we're launching a public appeal to enable the community to play a part in the future of the Betteshanger Project. We are offering the opportunity for people to donate and receive their own, limited edition, miners' pit check and upload a photograph to become part of the huge collage of the Waiting Miner. We have already raised £1.3m towards the required £1.8m, we're nearly there! We now just need the support of park users and our local community to get this amazing project over the line."
The public are invited to 'make their donation personal' and can choose from two main products to mark their support:
The Waiting Miner Collage: put yourself in the picture
From as little as £10, a photo tile can be purchased to become part of a huge 5m tall mosaic installation of the iconic Waiting Miner, which will be displayed on the café wall in the new Visitor Centre.
The Miners' Pit Check: personalise your pit check
Every miner had their own personal, numbered pit check. From £50, a personalised, limited edition pit check can be purchased and will be displayed in an installation at the entrance to the new Visitor Centre. The donor can choose their limited edition number, pit check shape and have their name engraved for complete personalisation. They will also receive a duplicate of the pit check as a keepsake.
Mr. Lumsdon-Taylor continued: "The way in which we manage our environment is changing. Why not build a flagship facility here in East Kent? That was the question asked of me ten years ago, and, ten years later, we are building one of the longest buildings in Europe."
"I'm really proud in saying 'it's nearly finished' but this is only the start. This is about providing a proper, life-long legacy. Betteshanger is more than just this park, it is flagship regeneration project for the county."
The unique and ambitious project is currently in its first phase, which includes the development of a new £9.5m state-of-the-art Visitor Centre, encompassing the Kent Mining Museum and Green Energy Centre. The impressive 175m long building will provide retail and cycling facilities, education, conferencing, events, gardens and public spaces, as well as acting as an iconic gateway to the 250-acre country park with its exceptional leisure and recreation facilities.
Peter Williams, Vice-Chair, Kent Mining Heritage Foundation Development Group said "What we have here is a unique story, which is currently untold. We're working together to tell this story to generations of the future. This project was planned very carefully with three objectives; healthy living, sustainable energy and of course heritage."
Before the guests were led on a hard-hat tour of the new Visitor Centre, Mr Lumsdon-Taylor announced the opening date will be 30 March 2019.
The Foundation has been working closely with Betteshanger Park, Hadlow Group, Aylesham and Elvington & Eythorne Heritage Centres to raise £1.8m to support the Betteshanger Project, with £1.3m raised to date. The Project forms part of the Betteshanger Sustainable Parks development on the former Betteshanger Colliery.

Kent Mining Heritage Foundation celebrates £100,000 grant from Port of Dover Community Fund
25th June 2018 /in Press Release /by lynnette
DOVER, 25 JUNE 2018: Following on from the news that it had hit £1 million worth of fundraising for the Betteshanger Project and historian David Starkey had become its first patron, the Kent Mining Heritage Foundation (KMHF) can announce further exciting news of a grant of £100,000 from The Port of Dover Community Fund.
The Port of Dover Community Fund was established to support projects that make a real difference to those living and working in the Dover district.
Betteshanger Pathways, the successful project submitted by the Kent Mining Heritage Foundation, has been developed to provide a wide range of opportunities for young people from the Dover area who are currently not in education, employment or training (NEET). It will help young people to explore their natural abilities and interests in a way that develops tangible skills leading to future employment opportunities.
Mark Lumsdon-Taylor, Deputy Group Principal and CEO Hadlow Group and chair Kent Mining Heritage Foundation commented on the programme: "From the outset, the Betteshanger Project has aspired to create a new economic identity for East Kent and our new 'Betteshanger Pathways' programme will directly support the social regeneration of the district. It will give much needed practical skills to a group of young people who are not currently engaging in education or employment. It will make a real difference not only to their lives but the community as a whole. We are thrilled to be in the receipt of the grant from the Port of Dover Community Fund and we are eager to begin embedding our programme."
Betteshanger Pathways will engage 150 young people over the four year lifespan of the project. The 250-acre outdoor environment and new Visitor Centre at Betteshanger Park will provide the resources to deliver an education in a unique setting. The programme will include Estate Management, such as horticulture, tool handling, maintenance and environment protection, as well as the opportunity to work with the Activity Team on mountain biking, archery, geocaching, orienteering, shelter building, fossil hunting, and military fitness.
The activities are designed to aid skills around teamwork, problem solving, developing a positive attitude towards work, motivation, English language skills, numeracy and computer literacy.
The youngsters will be referred by local secondary schools, Kent County Council's Early Help & Preventative Services, CXK and Jobcentre Plus, who will also be providing support.
The Right Reverend Trevor Willmott, Bishop of Dover and Chair, Port of Dover Community Fund Advisory Panel, commented: "I am delighted that the Port of Dover Community Trust is able to support the extraordinary work being taken forward by the Kent Mining Heritage Foundation at Betteshanger Park. Helping young people to find purpose for their lives thus contributing to the wider community, is in my judgement, one of the most critical issues facing our society today."
Delivery of the Betteshanger Pathway programme will begin in September 2018.
For further media information on the Kent Mining Museum please contact Lynnette Crisp at Lynnette.Crisp@betteshangerparks.co.uk or call 01304 619227.
The House of Commons Briefing Paper: "NEET: Young people not in education, training and employment" (2017) shows that not being in education, employment or training (NEET) between the ages of 16 and 18 is a major predictor of later unemployment, lower job security and lower rates of pay. There is also greater likelihood of teenage parenthood, depression and poor physical and mental health; persistent youth offending resulting in custodial sentences; insecure housing and homelessness; use of illicit drugs and transition to the use of class A drugs; poor relationships and early death. 34% of NEET young people have a learning difficulty. There are currently 725 NEET young people within the Dover district (Kent County Council: NEET Strategy)

David Starkey Announced as Patron for Kent Mining Heritage Foundation
7th June 2018 /in Press Release /by lynnette
Renowned Historian throwing weight behind project at former Betteshanger Colliery
Distinguished historian, author and TV personality David Starkey has become the first Patron of the Kent Mining Heritage Foundation (KMHF). The Foundation is helping build the Kent Mining Museum, a Green Energy Centre and upgrade the leisure and recreation facilities at the old Betteshanger Colliery site, as part of the Betteshanger Project.
The Foundation is working closely with Betteshanger Park, Hadlow Group, Aylesham and Elvington & Eythorne Heritage Centres to support the Betteshanger Project which is based in Deal.
The unique and ambitious project is already in its first phase, and includes a new £9.5m Visitor Centre, encompassing the Kent Mining Museum and Green Energy Centre. It will provide retail, cycling facilities, education, conferencing, events, gardens and public spaces. It will also act as an iconic gateway to the 250-acre country park. These elements will bring together the Project's three unique appeals; heritage, sustainability, and health and wellbeing.
David Starkey said: "This is an important project, both for Kent and particularly for the area south of Canterbury, embracing Dover, Deal and Thanet. Historically, the story of the growth of the Kent Coalfield, once coal had been discovered accidentally when they were trying to dig a tunnel linking Britain to France, will be told in the first Kent Mining Museum."
Betteshanger Park would not exist had it not been for the extraordinary history of Betteshanger Colliery which shaped the unique landscape that is enjoyed by many today. During 100 years of mining, the Kent Coalfield (Betteshanger, Chislet, Tilmanstone and Snowdown) was at the heart of the East Kent community, employing over 150,000 men that extracted over one hundred million tonnes of coal.
Dr Starkey continued: "It is a unique story, because nowhere else, I believe, were tens of thousands of miners recruited and gathered together in an agricultural county which had absolutely no tradition of mining. Their integration with, and isolation from, the predominantly agricultural community is fascinating. Secondly financially, the contribution this Project will make to what is one of the most disadvantaged communities in Europe, is absolutely vital and deserves everyone's support."
The KMHF recently celebrated reaching a momentous £1million of funding towards the development and support of the Betteshanger Project, a significant step in its goal of £1.8million. It has raised a significant amount towards its fundraising target though corporate sponsorship, grants from trusts and foundations, and individual donations. Recent supporters of the campaign that have helped the Foundation break the £1m mark, include the Coalfields Regeneration Trust, Rochester Bridge Trust and the Roger de Haan Charitable Trust, amongst others. When complete, the project will inject £6.2m every year into the local economy.
Mark Lumsdon-Taylor, Chair, Kent Mining Heritage Foundation, said: "We are delighted to welcome Dr Starkey on board as our first Patron of the Foundation. To get someone, who is so passionate in his field but also so recognisable in the historical world is a huge boost for the work that the Kent Mining Heritage Foundation does. Following on from the news that we broke the £1m mark in our fundraising, it is a really exciting time for us and the Betteshanger Project."

The Betteshanger Project will have such a vast impact, not only on the East Kent community, but across the whole county and reaching to international audiences. We will be a flagship sustainability project and a showcase of health and wellbeing. We will transform the facilities on the former spoil heap beyond all recognition for all to enjoy. I would like to personally thank all those who have supported the campaign to date and I hope it will inspire others to get involved."
The Kent Mining Heritage Foundation, which was established in 2016, has raised a significant amount towards its fundraising target though corporate sponsorship, grants from trusts and foundations, and individual donations. Recent supporters of the campaign that have helped the Foundation break the £1m mark, include the Coalfields Regeneration Trust, Rochester Bridge Trust and the Roger de Haan Charitable Trust, amongst others.

Andrew Freeman, Operations Manager for the Rochester Bridge Trust, said: "Congratulations to the Kent Mining Heritage Foundation for reaching the £1 million mark in its fundraising campaign. The Trust is pleased to be a supporter of this endeavour, having donated £25,000 towards the installation of interpretation and showcases for the museum, and we look forward to seeing these in place when the Visitor Centre opens in 2019."
Betteshanger Park is built upon the extraordinary history of Betteshanger Colliery which shaped the unique landscape. For almost ninety years, mining was at the heart of the East Kent community, with the Kent Coalfield (Betteshanger, Chislet, Tilmanstone and Snowdown) employing over 150,000 men and extracting over one hundred million tonnes of coal.

The Beast is back!
15th March 2018 /in Press Release /by lynnette
The world's largest inflatable obstacle course, known as The Beast, will be returning to Betteshanger Park, near Deal, for the second year this May.
The formidable inflatable obstacle course will be at the popular park from Saturday, May 26 to Monday, May 28. And it will be a world-first, 384m long course – making it over 100 metres longer and a length that has never before been attempted.
The ultimate bouncy castle experience for adults first visited Betteshanger in 2017 as one of its first UK outings. Belgian owner, HOLD MY SHOES, has since taken The Beast on a European tour, stopping at venues such as Alexandra Palace, London, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham and National Basket Ball Arena, Dublin.
The planned 384m course will be a world-first. It will be the first time Hold My Shoes has constructed The Beast course beyond the standard 272m length.
Keith Lee, Head of Programme, Betteshanger Park said: "The Beast was one of Betteshanger's most popular events for 2017 so knew we had to bring it back for a second year. We've been working with HOLD MY SHOES over the last couple of months to create a bigger, more elaborate course and we are thrilled that, at 384m, it will be the longest Beast ever constructed. We hope that our visitors are as excited as we are to welcome The Beast back to Betteshanger this May."
He continued: "We urge people to book tickets sooner rather than later as we anticipate a high demand for tickets."
Johan Bommerez, Project Manager, HOLD MY SHOES, said: "We're excited to be working with Betteshanger again after the enormous success of The Beast last year. We're also proud to be presenting this setup to the public, offering an even bigger and more awesome challenge to all visitors. HOLD MY SHOES promotes an active and healthy lifestyle, and what better way of doing this than by providing endless fun on World's Biggest Inflatable in such a beautiful surrounding?"
Tickets will be on general sale from 9am on Friday, March 23. Betteshanger Members and newsletter subscribers will benefit from a special 24-hour pre-sale.
To gain access to priority tickets, sign up to the newsletter at
www.betteshanger-park.co.uk/the-beast
The Beast will be suitable for everyone aged 10 and over.

A: You usually don't push any generated code or artifacts into a repository and Github lets you manually upload artifacts for that purpose (check Releases).
Check your .gitignore file in your project for the line containing the build folder. That's usually per default in every project since it's really bad practise putting those into version control.

Edwards Signs Proposal for Bulletproof Backpacks?
Republican Mike Walsworth sponsored a bill signed by Gov. Edwards that allows Louisiana students to carry bulletproof backpacks on their campus and also school buses.
Where in the world do you even buy such a thing? I Googled and found you can actually buy bulletproof inserts for any backpack. On an eBay seller's page named ballisticshield, they listout a 12x16" "youth sized" shield that is inserted inside of the child's backpack. Because they are not made of metal, parents and kids don't have to worry abouttriggering metal detectors. The kit also comes with a guide on how to tell your kids what the panel is, and how to teach them to protect themselves if there was ever an issue and it was needed.
Your move Dora the Explorer. Your backpack is way out of date now!

Boris poised to 'press red button' as EU 'prepares for worst' in Brexit showdown
The EU is growing increasingly fearful about the escalation of the explosive Brexit row with the UK, centred around the implementation of the Northern Ireland Protocol. Britain has continued to insist large parts of the trade mechanism must be completely overhauled in order for it to work effectively, demands the EU has so far strongly refused to cave to. Intensive talks over recent days between the two sides over the issue have collapsed, increasing the chances of the UK losing patience and triggering Article 16.
This gives each side the power to suspend certain parts of the agreement it deems no longer viable for economic, social or environmental reasons.
But German publication Focus Online has now said Mr Johnson's hand is "said to hover over the red button".
Bernd Lange, the chairman of the European Parliament's trade committee, fears the UK could follow through with its threat following a meeting between the UK's Brexit minister Lord Frost and European Commission vice president Maros Sefcovic in Brussels on Friday.
He said: "Rumours are growing that the British government will resort to this remedy this Friday after another meeting between EU negotiator Maros Sefcovic and UK negotiator David Frost."
But Mr Lange warned that if such a scenario was to happen, "serious consequences" are being discussed in Brussels.
This could potentially lead to the suspension of further agreements between the UK and EU, as well as the possibility of a potentially devastating trade war between the two sides.
Mr Lange warned: "The EU will take countermeasures.
"The previous constructive and wait-and-see attitude of the EU will then no longer be sustainable."

The EU would then have to make tough decisions on possible tariffs and market access restrictions, the termination of cooperation in research and data exchange, and "the suspension of part of the trade agreement or the termination of the whole trade agreement".
There are also fears of yet another Christmas showdown between the UK and EU.
During months of tense and often bitter post-Brexit trade deal talks last year, the two sides were only able to avoid a potentially devastating no deal outcome with an agreement at the 11th hour.
Reports about the threat of a hardening of the "soft Brexit" have seen many from within the EU "preparing for the worst-case scenario".

EU's true take on UK talks revealed [ANALYSIS]
Anna Cavazzini, who is Chairwoman of the European Parliament's Internal Market Committee, said: "Unfortunately, we are back to the dynamics of 2019 with threats of failure of the talks and heated rhetoric on the British side.
"On the EU side, everyone is rolling their eyes and preparing for the worst case scenario."
On Wednesday, members of the House of Lords told a Dail committee a no-deal Brexit will be back on the table if the UK decides to trigger Article 16 of the Protocol.
Lord Jay of Ewelme, chair of the House of Lords sub-Committee on the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, warned such a move from Britain would risk resetting negotiations and cold result in a no-deal outcome.
He said: "I agree with you very much on what to say about the risks of Article 16 being imposed or being triggered and the response to Article 16 by the European Union, potentially leading to all the complicated negotiations with the prospect of a no-deal as the last stage.
"That is one end of the spectrum.
"The other end of the spectrum, which I think we can't rule it out, and I certainly wouldn't want to rule out, although I must say that the prospects are not looking brilliant at the moment, is for a negotiated settlement to be reached between now and Christmas or over Christmas.
"I don't think we can rule that out."

One gene is crucial to monarchs' migration – The Washington Post
The 3,000-mile migration of monarch butterflies in North America is one of the insect world's fantastic feats, and a single gene may be the reason they are able to do it.
Scientists studied the complete genetic material, or genome, of monarchs — both those that migrate and those that don't. They found that a gene related to flight muscle efficiency plays a big role in their migration.
"One gene really stood out from everything else in the genome," said ecology professor Marcus Kronforst.
It was a gene related to collagen, the main ingredient in connective tissue, that was essential for flight muscle function. The researchers were surprised to find that the gene was less active, not more active, in migratory butterflies. But rather than making them big, powerful fliers, the gene made them efficient. Kronforst said it was like "the difference between marathon runners and sprinters."
Kronforst suspects this example of divergent selection came about because more efficient flight benefited migrating butterflies, while outsprinting competitors for flowers and mates helped the butterflies that stayed close to home.
The study, published last week in the journal Nature, also identified the gene behind the butterfly's orange-and-black pattern.
Scientists say the monarch's orange color — produced by chemicals from the milkweed plants that nourish them when they are larvae — tells potential predators they taste awful and are toxic to eat.

11 December 2006 Of my childhood hero, Thomas Paine.
After my American Lit. exam today I was flipping through the Norton anthology for that class to check a few of my guessed answers when I came across an excerpt of Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason. Since I'll probably never crack that particular volume of Norton open again, and since it was only four pages, I gave it a look. Here's a fun quote that I found, and that I would dearly want to put on Facebook if I were less concerned with domestic tranquility.
He goes on to apply this to Moses, Jesus, and Mohamed, explaining how the three of them may be compelled to believe that God spoke to them, but the rest of us (according to Paine's theory) have a right to choose to take their words for it or not.
Thomas Paine was my hero from the time I found out about him (middle school?) until I started revising my views of American history and history in general, probably in Mr. Simmons' class in 11th grade if not somewhat before. I loved Paine because he was a writer who, through simple wielding of his quill, played a major role in starting a revolution. This was something that I was very interested in growing up to do. Of course that was back when I mentally equated starting a revolution with liberating the heinously oppressed colonists and accepted the theory that George Washington was personally sent by God to ensure the founding of this great Christian nation. Hmm…I've come (or fallen) a long way.

We're fast approaching our last two days of this project and we have a lot to show for it. At the end of ten weeks we have created an online book with 31 different sections and six videos that detail the resources and culture in Allentown. This book would not have been possible without the guidance and advice that we received from professionals in both Allentown and Tubingen. Tomorrow we plan to personally thank these people with the unveiling of our website and a celebratory event however there are many of you who will be unable to make it. So to those of you reading this who will not be there tomorrow we would like to say thank you. Thank you for your time and your thoughtfulness. Thank you for bearing with us as we fumbled with poor Wi-Fi and other unforeseen issues. And thank you for giving your time to the community and for working to make Allentown a better place. We know that you don't hear it nearly enough but you are truly a gift to this city and you are making it a better place.
In every meeting we were asked if this project is going to be maintained or if it is going to fizzle out on July 22nd when our internship is over. We promise that this project will not fizzle out but instead it will grow and expand. I am the President of a club recognized by the Department of State called No Lost Generation and Rebecca is a part of the executive board for this club. Our club plans to take over this project and ensure that it is well maintained and that it expands to other cities within the Lehigh Valley. We look forward to keeping in contact with you and please reach out to us if you need anything. We are happy to give you brochures, postcards and flyers advertising our website and we would love to hear any feedback that you may have.
One of our teammates, Katie Morris, maintains her own blog where she writes about different humanitarian crisis's taking place around the world. This summer she has been blogging about this internship and the progress that this team has made. Check out her latest blog post!
In Germany we had the opportunity to meet with countless different people who are working to help the refugee's transition into their lives in Germany. Each person we met with offered us valuable advice that has significantly improved our overall projects. Yet, it was not just our meetings in Germany that have contributed to our project. We have met with numerous Lehigh staff members and community members who have given us their time and thoughts to help us make this project as significant as possible. One of our biggest meetings took place yesterday when we met with some of the staff members at the Newcomer Academy in Allentown.
The Newcomer Academy is a school for students who are new to the area and do not have the language skills necessary to be placed in the public school in their area. The kids who attend the school stay there for one year and are given a tremendous amount of support to help them learn English and advance in their academic studies. The school is nothing short of incredible.
The women we met with have been working with refugees for years and had valuable insight and opinions about our project. They spent over an hour with us talking and reviewing our videos and book sections. From them we learned that our videos and book sections were just not good enough. It was hard to hear but very valuable input. They asked us to simplify our words and to make the book sections more visual. One of their main points of advice was to match the vocabulary with accompanying pictures.
During this project we have spent a long time walking what we consider to be a fine line between simplifying information and oversimplifying information. We wanted to make the information easy to read and understand but we also didn't want to simplify it so much that it would be considered offensive. We want to respect the intelligence of the people while at the same time acknowledging their struggles to understand the language and the culture of the United States.
In our meeting we learned that although these people are highly intelligent they are still struggling to comprehend the culture and language. So they made the point that it's okay to simplify our text because it will make it easier for the people to understand and it won't be considered offensive but actually helpful.
So today we're back in the digital media center working to create materials that are more comprehensible. We want this project to have a big impact in the community and to significantly improve the transition process for newcomers in Allentown. We're very grateful for all of the help and advice that we have receive and we can't wait to share our completed book with everyone in three weeks!
If you or someone you know have any contacts in the community that may be interested in promoting, advertising and sharing our book please contact us at mountaintopinterns@gmail.com.
Back in the United States we have been working to develop resources to help newcomers in Allentown navigate our city. One of the resources that I have created is a map that shows some of the most important areas in Allentown including libraries, grocery stores and hospitals. Look at the map below and let me know what you think. I'm open to suggestions and criticisms. We want to make this map as user friendly as possible.
Can you hear what has happened to me?
While in Germany I had the privilege of speaking to many locals about their feelings regarding the refugee crisis. One of the most profound conversations I had was with a mother of four who took an entire day off to tour several of my friends and me around her home city of Stuttgart. I asked her about the refugee crisis and the influx of refugees in her city. She told me that after World War II the Germans have tried to be extremely open to the way that they help people who are need. I was surprised to hear her bring up the history of the country as no other citizen had ever mentioned that when talking to me about the refugee crisis. She mentioned that Germany had made mistakes in the past but were eagerly trying to correct those mistakes. There are certainly many people in the country who do not share these feelings but there are very few times where an entire country can all have the same feelings about something.
Refugee classes in Germany teach history, beginning with the post-World War II era. They do this so that the refugees are not re-traumatized with the information of the atrocities committed by Germans during the war. How scary would it be for a refugee to sit in a German class room and learn about how the country persecuted people who they considered different?
Yet that doesn't mean they, the refugees, want to forget their story. In my meeting with a university psychologist I learned that many of the women that she works with wish to have their stories told or to remember what has happened to them. The psychologist compared their desire to share their stories to American soldiers who travel to schools and lecture halls to talk about the time that they have served. Many of these soldiers have experienced extreme evil while at war but that evil has made them who they are and they are not willing to bury it deep inside them. It is important to share the moments that have shaped your life regardless of if they are positive or negative.
Something that I will always remember is a story that the psychologist told me about one of the women that she works with. During her session this particular refugee woman asked the psychologist "Can you hear what has happened to me? Are you writing this all down? I don't want it to be forgotten".
This statement was so profound to me. The words "can you hear what has happened to me" will stick with me forever. Because I hear them. I hear their stories and their challenges. The world hears them but they are not always listening. We need to listen. We need to hear the story of the man I met who travelled through so many countries on his way to Germany that he couldn't even name them all. The man who said that he got in a taxi in Serbia and feared that he would be killed. The man who slept in the streets of Croatia on his way here.
These are the stories that matter. The stories of the people who are fighting for their lives. I promise we will not forget you. We will not let you become a news story that gets passed over when something more recent and more dramatic occurs. We will help you be heard and we will listen.
We're approaching our last few days here in Tübingen, Germany and we are trying to attend as many meetings, seminars and classes as possible. Our days are becoming increasingly busier as we connect with more people in the region yet we are often unable to share everything that we are doing due to confidentiality. However, we appreciate your continued support as we continue to better understand the refugee crisis abroad and seek out information and resources that we can bring home with us. We would like to share with you some of our experiences in our last few meetings.
Last week we had the opportunity to sit in on an information meeting with several migrants and refugees who are attending the University of Tübingen. During this meeting we talked about the concept of identity as it relates to people living in different countries. It was emphasized that identity is not static but rather always moving and growing with each and every experience that a human has. However, this identity can become confusing when you move to a place whose culture is so different from your own. Often time's native citizens will tell you that you need to mold your identity to fit their cultural standards. Yet, how much molding is too much? What does it mean to fit in but still be yourself?
In a meeting with a trauma expert the concept of identity came up once again. We talked about the balance of a refugee's new culture along with their native culture. Again, how much molding is too much? You want a refugee to understand their new culture and fit in but you also want them to maintain who they are, to hold on to their roots. There are no "How to" books for this, no studies or statistics. Refugees and aid workers must figure it out on their own, silently struggling to determine how much change is too much. One of the extreme examples that we were provided with is the topic of polygamy. Some of the refugee men coming to Germany are arriving from regions where polygamy is highly practiced and encouraged. So they're entering the country with four wives. However, in Germany this is considered illegal. But how do you tell a man that he has to choose just one of his four wives to be married to? I'm not taking a stance on polygamy but I am saying that the conversation that has to be had is clearly difficult for both parties involved.
We've had multiple other meetings with people who continue to teach, support and inspire us. We are truly grateful for the experiences we are having in Germany and are looking forward to using our newfound knowledge to better the projects we are working on back home in Allentown. We ask that you continue to maintain an open mind about the refugee crisis and the newcomers who are settling in and around your hometowns. They are coming from backgrounds that we will never be able to comprehend and many are carrying mental scars. We have been taught that stability, safety and structure are some of the greatest things for a refugee. Yet, a friendly smile, a cup of tea and an ear willing to listen also go a long way.
Yesterday, we met with Karin Amos who is a Professor of Educational Science at the University of Tübingen. Amos discussed the refugee students who are studying or applying to study at the University. Amos told us that there are approximately 40-50 refugee students studying in Tübingen but this number is unconfirmed because refugees sign up as international students and do not always identify as refugees. The town of Tübingen currently has 280 refugees but has promised to take 1000. The rest of the refugees may still be coming to the town or may have returned to their home countries. Originally, it was thought that many of the refugees would be prepared to enter university when they arrived. However, this has not been the case and according to Amos only 10-15% of the refugees have had the educational level needed to apply. The university is very lenient with the documents that refugees are able to provide and do not require them to have the same documentation as German student. Unfortunately, one of the biggest challenges for refugees is the language barrier. There are very limited German as Second Language (GSL) classes and many professors are unwilling to teach these classes. The University has also found that many of the refugees are unaware of the courses offered by the university and they are working on developing resources to spread information around the city. We are hoping to meet with some of the applicants over the course of the next few weeks and get a feel for their experiences.

What are Residential Treatment Centers for Troubled Girls from Concord, CA?
Residential treatment centers are specialized therapeutic facilities that also function as a behavioral modification program for troubled teens from Concord, CA. Like other treatment programs, RTC's require teenage girls from Concord, CA to live on-site, under 24-hour surveillance under a clinically staffed team for an extended time period.
While the exact timeframe varies from facility to facility, the average length of stay at a residential treatment center is anywhere between 9 - 18 months.
The age group of RTC's also vary. Depending on the extent of the child's issues, the nature of their problems, and their criminal history, most RTC's treat troubled teens between the ages of 12-18. However, some facilities are specifically and exclusively designed to treat older teens with significant behavioral problems.
Do Residential Treatment Centers for Troubled Girls in Concord, CA Actually, Work?
(The Short Answer: Yes, but not always.)
When pertaining to the functionality, viability, provided services, and a balanced emphasis on the behavioral and emotional rehabilitation of troubled teens from Concord, CA, reputable RTC's are undeniably denyingly among the most provenly effective forms of treatment for troubled Teenage girls.
However, that is not to say that RTC programs advertising their services to the families of troubled youth from the Concord, CA area are created equal.
Like any booming industry, there is a wide spectrum in terms of the quality and overall effectiveness of these specialized residential programs. While there is no question that esteemed RTC's for troubled adolescents are effective in rehabilitating the out of control and negative behaviors of troubled teens, there are less reputable facilities than the industry's qualitative standard.
With that in mind, parents from Concord, CA must thoroughly vet any and all prospective treatment centers before trusting said facilities with the emotional, behavioral, and mental health of their already troubled daughter.
There are Several Types of Residential Treatment
While technically incorrect, residential treatment is often used as an umbrella term to describe sub-sets of residential treatment, including:
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers
Therapeutic boarding schools
Group home for troubled teens
Wilderness therapy programs
At the top Residential Treatment Centers for girls near Concord, CA the clients are led to face their problems and conquer them while also continuing their education.
The girls from Concord, CA who enroll into a residential treatment center typically receive academic instruction, professional therapy, animal-assisted therapy, individual and group therapy, a focus on creativity through art (music and writing), trauma recovery, physical fitness, outdoor adventure therapy, and much more.
Residential treatment centers for girls from Concord, CA typically offer therapy for young women with emotional issues leading them to poor choices and broken relationships.
In the top Residential Treatment Centers around the Concord, CA, therapists specialize in helping adopted girls with attachment disorders or participating in self-harm or who have had major loss or trauma in their lives.
RTC's near Concord, CA Serve the Families of Troubled Girls
Regarding the most reputable RTC's in or around Concord, CA, therapy involvement extends to the families of the troubled girls. Services like family workshops, group therapy sessions, and parenting seminars are just a few things parents should expect from any top-tier program.
An RTC that involves the families of troubled girls from Concord, CA understands and, therefore, emphasizes the importance of the child's family's support and actively working with families to maintain said support system.
Therefore, family participation should be a key part of every troubled girls' rehabilitation. Without the involvement of their family members, girls from Concord, CA are significantly less likely to achieve any long-lasting changes.
When seeking the services of an RTC, parents from Concord, CA should inquire about the prospective treatment center's family services - namely, about whether the facility in question understands what an important role a teen's family has in their child's overall development and rehabilitation.
Of course, if the treatment center in Concord, CA is less accommodating in terms of familial involvement, it may not be the most viable option for Concord, CA parents to consider sending their daughter.

What is the Vineyard I hear you ask?
The Vineyard is a church movement which began back in the 1980's through the leadership of John Wimber. It currently comprises of more than 1,500 Vineyard churches worldwide, around 550 in the US, over 100 in the UK & Ireland, as well as 'Vineyard Records' helping thousands of churches experience intimacy with God.
Through the Vineyard, many churches have been equipped to continue Jesus' ministry of proclaiming and demonstrating the kingdom, as well as training disciples.
Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland was formed for the purpose of joining together churches who hold common values and practices, and, first and foremost, it is a conservative evangelical movement. VCUKI is governed by a Council through a number of Task Forces, including a Board of Trustees, which gives oversight to the pastors of existing churches and facilitates widespread church planting.
The major part of its function is to be an organisation that gives, helps, serves and strengthens our churches. As you may have heard it said, 'our aim in Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland is to do all we can to help you become all that you can in Christ.' We're thoroughly committed to the view that this can only be achieved through the building and sustaining of strong relationships among us based on love, openness and trust.
Our National Directors are John & Debby Wright who founded and currently lead Trent Vineyard in Nottingham.
John & Debby have been serving together in pastoral ministry since 1989. John initially trained and worked for a number of years as a jeweller before studying at London Bible College. Debby was brought up, and lived, in Chile until she was 13 and later moved to Nottingham to train as a dancer and artist. Her father is the Anglican bishop, David Pytches, who founded the New Wine network.
John & Debby's first involvement with Vineyard was in 1982; then in 1987 they spent 8 months as interns at Anaheim Vineyard (under John Wimber, the leader of the Vineyard Movement in the USA).
Following their time at Anaheim they returned to England to help John and Eleanor Mumford start the first UK Vineyard (SW London Vineyard.)
John & Debby worked at SW London Vineyard for 9 years before moving back to Nottingham to set up Trent Vineyard. They have two sons, Zack and Jordan.
In January 2015 it was announced that John & Debby would take over as the National Directors of Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland, while continuing to lead Trent Vineyard. Their commissioning took place on Saturday 19th September 2015.
Today the Vineyard continues to grow, planting churches in new cities across the world. For more information about the Vineyard, do visit the following links:

Here at Evolution Fresh, we love when apple season reaches its delicious peak. Enjoying that just-picked-from-the-tree taste. Getting lost in the endless maze of orchards. Whipping up our favorite apple recipes. If you can't tell by now, we're pretty passionate about apples—and making tasty apple juice. That's why we get our apples from the best growing region in the country: the Pacific Northwest. It's there, in the bordering orchard towns of Yakima Valley, Washington, and Hood River, Oregon, where we source the ripest apples available to craft our exclusive five-apple blend. After many tastings, we found the perfect flavor combination of Red Delicious, Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples. Sip after sip, these juicy apples have created a craveable taste that Evolution Fresh Apple Juice lovers everywhere can't stop talking about. So what makes the apples from these orchard towns so special—and so irresistible?
With its extra nutrients and ability to retain more water, volcanic soil provides the perfect environment for apple trees to do their magic. Because Hood River is home to the inactive volcano Mt. Hood, its volcanic soil is au naturel. As for Yakima Valley? Its soil turned volcanic after nearby Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1983, blowing volcanic ash its way. Now with a top layer of volcanic soil, Yakima Valley's growing conditions have never been better.
When mountain snow melts, the water flows to the fields below. Because both Hood River and Yakima Valley are nestled below major mountains, water doesn't have to travel very far to reach their orchards. Mt. Hood alone gets an astonishing 500 inches of snow every year. Yakima Valley gets an extra 100 inches of snow and rain from its local mountains. Through an elaborate irrigation system, Yakima Valley's apple trees are able to soak up the pure mountain water to grow its irresistibly juicy apples.
With 30+ apple varieties, Evolution Fresh is lucky to be close to all these crisp, mouth-watering apples. To create our tasty five-apple blend, we sampled and resampled every type of apple to find the perfect combination that apple juice drinkers everywhere keep coming back for. We've found so much to love in Pacific Northwest apples that we even use them in our other juices such as Sweet Greens and Lemon, Defense UpTM and Emerald Greens, just to name a few.
The ripe, delicious apples we use to make our juice don't fall far from the tree. Actually, they don't fall at all. Each one is handpicked for quality and ripeness. Only those at their flavorful peak make it into our pure, never-watered-down apple juice. That's right: Evolution Fresh Apple Juice is all apple.
Something tells us you're thirsting for Evolution Fresh Apple Juice. Luckily for you, we have plenty of it to go around. Our tasty five-apple blend of Red Delicious, Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples is chilling right now in your local grocer's juice fridge. So go grab a bottle and drink up the delicious flavor of fall!

The gaffer looks ahead to the weekend's trip to Gloucestershire.
Neal Ardley is confident his attacking players will cause problems for Sky Bet League Two defences between now and the end of the season.
January additions to the squad and players returning from injury have given the Magpies more options going forwards and they produced a bright display during last week's 1-1 draw with table-topping Lincoln.
And Ardley hopes Notts' fresh threat pays dividends at Forest Green Rovers on Saturday.
"Now we have players fit and options on the bench we have enough to cause anyone problems," said the boss.
"We've got Kane Hemmings, Enzio Boldewijn and Lewis Alessandra back and added Craig Mackail-Smith and Virgil Gomis, too.
Ardley wants to see his attackers shine at The New Lawn on Saturday as they face one of the division's best ball-playing teams.
"We don't want to come away feeling like we've been safe," he said. "We have to try and win the game.
"Forest Green make their own lives easier with the way they retain the ball and make teams decide whether to press or sit off them.
The gaffer has been pleased with what he's seen in training following his January business and has more belief that his side can beat the drop.
"I think we now have a group that won't let standards drop and training has been exceptional. There are lots of good signs.
