Automated Real-time Traffic Information Exchange, simply known as ARTIE, is a fiber optic network linking every street intersection to a data center in the city hall of Los Angeles. It has cameras, microphones, and sensors, and could be potentially be used as a "nervous system" for the emergent Skynet.
ARTIE was the pet project of Barbara Chamberlain, a Los Angeles city manager. A T-888 infiltrated Barbara Chamberlain's life by replacing her husband Vick Chamberlain. Vick murdered a lobbyist being paid to oppose ARTIE named Jessica Peck. He later killed Barbara once the ARTIE is finished.

Impacts of meat product recalls on consumer demand in the USA
The impact of meat product recall events on consumer demand (beef, pork, poultry, and other consumption goods) in the USA is tested empirically. Beef, pork, and poultry recall indices are constructed from both the Food Safety Inspection Service's meat recall events and from newspaper reports over the period 1982-1998. Following previous product recall studies, recall indices are incorporated as shift variables in consumers' demand functions. Estimating an absolute price version of the Rotterdam demand model, findings indicate that Food Safety Inspection Service's meat recall events significantly impact demand, and newspaper reports do not. Moreover, although elasticities related to recall events are significant they are small in magnitude relative to price and income effects. Any favourable effects on the demands of meat substitutes for a recall are offset by a more general negative effect on meat demand. The general negative effect indicates a shift out of meat to non-meat consumption goods.

New Hampshire corruption fighter and conservative blogger Andy Martin files suit to undo sale of New Hampshire's historic hotel The Balsams
Andy says the New Hampshire Attorney General unlawfully and fraudulently approved a sale of "The Balsams" to real estate speculators and hucksters that are systematically destroying the hotel and never had any plans to reopen the facility
Andy calls the Neal Tillotson Trust/Tillotson Corporation a "Peyton Place" of New Hampshire corruption
Andy has become New Hampshire's only public interest lawyer by default
(CONCORD, NH) (July 5, 2012) New Hampshire corruption fighter and conservative blogger Andy Martin, who by default has become New Hampshire's only public interest lawyer, announced today (Thursday) that he has filed suit to undo the sale of New Hampshire's historic grand hotel The Balsams. Andy charges the "sale" of the Balsams was tainted by corruption and insider dealing.
The suit was filed in Merrimack County Superior Court, has been served on the defendants and process has been returned to the Clerk's office. Among other relief the suit seeks to undo the sale of the overall property to Daniel Hebert and Dan Dagesse, Jr.
"The more I looked into the sale of The Balsams the more it smelled," Andy says. "The media were asleep and no one in New Hampshire is organized to fight local corruption. Hebert and Dagesse never had any intention of reopening The Balsams. A priceless North Country resource is being raped and destroyed by these real estate hucksters/speculators.
"The recent 'auction' of The Balsams contents was an effort to ensure the hotel never reopens as a family-oriented facility.
"Governor Lynch and Attorney General Delaney eliminated 300 North Country jobs. They are two of the biggest job-destroyers in recent New Hampshire history.
A copy of the lawsuit is attached to emailed copies of this news release.
"I have consistently accused the New Hampshire Attorney General of fraud and incompetence in his regulation of the Tillotson Trust and eventually I am going to ask the Court to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate this mess.
"We know as a fact that Attorney General Delaney conducted his 'review' proceedings in secret, received no input from the public, and allowed a priceless North Country resource to be sold in the dark of night to a couple of hucksters and speculators. That is not the way public trust assets are supposed to be handled. The whole transaction smelled from start to finish.
"Are we to understand this is how public trusts are 'regulated' in New Hampshire? The rape of Neal Tillotson's trust is a public disgrace."
Andy will have more to say abut The Balsams and other political issues at a Concord news conference Monday July 9th.

OK, please do not beat up on me too much for this as I am WAY late to the game and although I've perused the thread off and on for a long time, I've not done a deep dive on the best choice.
So my wife wants to fall in love with her car again and would like to have BT and navigation. I'd like to do it correctly, and this seems like a strong unit and even though a bit pricey, it is still MUCH cheaper than a new car. She's got a Windows phone that I'm assuming will be able to connect to the Dynavin HU? I've read about firmware issues and the like, and what has kept me from getting one a couple years ago was just this; concern that the unit won't be more or less brainless like an OEM unit. My wife is no dunce, but I don't want to have to spend more time monkeying with the unit than using it. I work in the telematics industry, so I'm pretty astute to how all this stuff works, but still just want something only nominally more complicated than "plug and play".
Is this the unit for me/her?

As a petroleum refiner, Tesoro's operations include converting crude oil into useful products, such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Air emissions – such as greenhouse gases (CO2e), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM) – are by-products of the conversion process. We carefully manage air emissions through the use of environmental management systems at our refineries and logistics facilities. Following strict federal, state and local laws and regulations, we track, monitor and report our emissions data to government agencies on a regular basis to ensure compliance. Our comprehensive environmental and incident systems also help us to monitor and track our air emissions and take specific actions to reduce them.
The LARIC project is expected to have the following impacts on the Los Angeles Refinery's local emissions. These emissions reductions will help Tesoro continue to meet stringent state and regional air quality requirements, which are among the strictest in the country.
- Reduce local greenhouse gas emissions (GHG/CO2e) by more than 70,000 metric tonnes annually – the equivalent of removing more than 13,500 passenger vehicles from local roads each year
- Reduce local NOx emissions by 56 tons per year
- Reduce local SOx emissions by 3 tons per year
- Increase local VOC emissions by 75 tons year*
- Reduce local CO emissions by 85 tons per year
- Reduce local PM emissions by 3 tons per year
* After offsets, the estimated VOC emission increase is 9 tons per year. VOC emissions require compliance/offsetting in accordance with Regulation XIII. Tesoro will use its internally generated VOC Emission Reduction Credits for offsets.
At Tesoro, we've focused our emissions reductions efforts primarily on energy conservation and efficiency. As we pursue strategies to reduce our environmental impact, we consider ways to better track and reduce air emissions from our operations. When evaluating new projects and opportunities, we carefully review potential impacts associated with the project, including energy usage and GHG intensity. We remain committed to implementing programs that will improve air quality and mitigate our impact on the environment and local communities.

Ichigo vs Uryū?! Who is the Traitor?! is the three hundred and sixtieth episode of the Bleach anime.
As Ichigo Kurosaki begins his battle with Shūkurō Tsukishima, Uryū Ishida arrives, and Kūgo Ginjō is cut by Tsukishima.
As Kūgo, calling out to Ichigo, tries to run to him, he is stopped by a falling chandelier. Turning around, he sees Moe Shishigawara and the other Fullbringers. Moe tells him to pay attention, for he is fighting them, and he cannot afford to be worrying about others. Wondering who he is, Kūgo, asking if he made the chandelier fall, wonders how he did it, for Moe has nothing in his hand and the chandelier's chain was not cut. As he notes the screws fell out, the other Fullbringers, surrounding him, tell him they will not let him pass.
Tsukishima reveals his power does not manipulate time or memories, but allows him to insert his presence into another person's past. When Ichigo states Kūgo's guess was correct, Tsukishima, surprised Kūgo was able to guess his power, for he did not think he was so smart, explains how the past experienced by Ichigo and by the others are two different things. When Ichigo asks why he does not just say he changed their pasts with his powers, Tsukishima, stating this would be wrong, tells him all of them have lived their lives with himself, except for Ichigo, who is the only one leading a false past. Lunging at Tsukishima to cut him, Ichigo is stopped by Orihime Inoue's Santen Kesshun. When Yasutora Sado, appearing behind him, tries to attack, Ichigo stops the attack with his hand. As Sado states he did not become strong to fight him, Ichigo tries to explain, but Sado attacks with his left arm. As Ichigo, moving to the air, wonders why all this is happening, Tsukishima appears in front of him, and Ichigo rushes in to attack.
As Kūgo continues his battle, Jackie Tristan activates her Fullbring, Dirty Boots and Giriko Kutsuzawa uses his number attack, which misses. As Riruka Dokugamine fires Moe out of her Love Gun at Kūgo, who blocks, only having his sword damaged, Moe, calling Kūgo lucky for the attack not hitting his body, unravels the bandage around his arm to reveal his Fullbring, Jackpot Knuckle, stating the amount of power depends on the "roll". In Ichigo's fight, Tsukishima is kicked onto the roof. When Ichigo fires a Getsuga Tenshō at him, Tsukishima, deflecting it, notes he has succeeded in combining Shinigami powers with Fullbring, surprised by his speed. Kūgo's battle remains at a standstill until Giriko states it is time. When Kūgo asks what he is talking about, Moe smashes his brass knuckles onto the floor, sending Kūgo flying out the window. Realizing he cannot win when it is one versus four, Kūgo takes off to find Ichigo.
As Ichigo moves to attack Tsukishima, Sado blocks him. When he asks Sado and Orihime to stop and get out of the way, Sado states he took the words right out of his mouth. As Ichigo yells for Tsukishima to stop hiding behind his friends and come out, the two of them take to the air, but Ichigo loses track of Tsukishima, who appears behind him, about to slash him. As Ichigo, noticing him, is unable to react, Kūgo, rushing in, takes the hit for him. Meanwhile, Uryū Ishida jumps across the building tops in the city.
As Kūgo begins to fall, Ichigo, following after, wonders if Kūgo has been affected by Tsukishima's ability. Catching him before he makes contact with the roof, Ichigo checks if he is okay. Assuring Ichigo he is okay, he reminds him to not let Tsukishima strike him from behind. As Ichigo, blocking Tsukishima's attack, asks Kūgo if he is okay, Kūgo states he still views Tsukishima as an enemy and Ichigo as a friend. As Ichigo is relieved, Kūgo wonders if the ability did not take effect because it takes different amounts of time for everyone or by choice. Kūgo states either way, they have to defeat Tsukishima before his powers take effect and there is nothing they can do.
As Ichigo prepares to attack, Uryū arrives. Ichigo wonders whose side he is on, for he was cut by Tsukishima, and who had healed his wounds. He reasons Orihime could have healed Uryū before she was affected by Tsukishima, but if she healed him after, it could mean she wanted to heal him as part of Tsukishima's army. Uryū activates his bow, causing Ichigo to assume he is one of them, and tells Ichigo to come over to him, saying he is on his side. As a doubtful Ichigo stands his ground, Uryū reveals the person who cut him is the guy standing behind him.
Uryū fires an arrow at Kūgo, but it is deflected. As Kūgo strikes Ichigo, Uryū is struck by Tsukishima. As both fall to their knees, Kūgo begins laughing. When Ichigo, interrupting him, asks if he attacked them because of Tsukishima's ability, Kūgo, stating Tsukishima's power is definitely the cause, takes out a Substitute Shinigami Badge. Telling Ichigo he did not become his enemy because he was cut, he attaches the badge to his sword. As it transforms, he reveals he let Tsukishima cut him twice so he could return to his original self. Saying Ichigo's Fullbring is his, he stabs Ichigo in the chest.
Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book
In celebration of Uryū joining the battle, a quiz is done in a game show style where Ichigo, Sado and Orihime are the contestants. Uryū states though they did not forget who he is, he wants them to assume they have seen him for the first time and guess his true identity. Answering first, Ichigo says Uryū is the laundry guy since he is wearing white, prompting Uryū to state laundrymen do not wear white. Answering next, Orihime says since Uryū is good at sewing, he must be a mother, leaving him surprised. Answering again, Ichigo says he is a squid, prompting Uryū to tell him to stay off the clothes. As Sado answers eyeglasses, Ichigo, answering again, says Uryū's cotton because he is wearing white. Shooting an arrow at Ichigo's hat, Uryū, stating Ichigo is trying to make fun of him, fires a volley of arrows at him.

It was bad news when Siem de Jong suffered yet another injury in training in Ireland yesterday and the Dutchman has been sent back to Benton for treatment and for a full prognosis on his hamstring injury.
And another player who has been dogged by injury over the last few years has also been injured as Kevin Mbabu picked up a thigh injury and has also returned to the Benton base yesterday.
Siem de Jong – hamstring injury
Rafa Benitez has talked about the moment that seems to have ended the 27 year-old Dutchman's chance of cementing a place in the first team to start off the Championship season.
This is what Rafa has said about Siem:
"He was a really bad moment to be fair." "I was close to him and he tried to keep the ball in with his heel and there was a problem with his hamstring."
"That can sometimes happen." "It was a bad movement, but it was a positive thing in terms of trying to get the ball and fighting for that."
"That's the positive view, but the negative is that the movement was too dangerous." "Now we have to wait to see if he is fit."
Siem de Jong has not played too many games for Newcastle over the two years he's been at the club (26 games – two goals) and he has talked this summer about maybe getting more first team games by going out on loan.
But we think Rafa wants to see how he would do in the Championship next season.
Kevin Mbabu – thigh injury
No news yet on how long either Siem or Kevin could be out for, but it's a bad time to pick up the injury with Rafa having to decide during the preseason friendlies what his best team is likely to be next season.
The first friendly is today against Bohemian at Dalymount Park with a 2:00 pm kick-off.
Comments welcome.
Note: On Saturday July 30th, Peruvian Independence Day Nolberto Solano will be attending as special guest at Solano's Peruvian Cuisine and Nobby will be available for autographs, pose for photos, and a chat!

|Portrayed By
Tarkin was a long time member of the Brotherhood of the Thorn, a society of upper-level demons. He shared a particular closeness with Belthazor, the demon half of Cole Turner. Along with Trigg, he was the closest thing Belthazor had to a friend when they worked together in the Brotherhood. However, he was loyal to the Brotherhood first and Belthazor second.
Tarkin was willing to kill Cole Turner when it was confirmed he was spying on the Brotherhood, but went along with their leader Raynor's plan to turn him evil again by destroying Phoebe's love for him.
To turn Cole evil again, Raynor made him steal two halves of a protective amulet from two witches. Cole didn't kill the first witch, so Raynor did it instead to make the Charmed Ones suspicious. Tarkin was sent as back up by Raynor to help Cole steal the other amulet half. The Charmed Ones however prevented them from killing her. Tarkin and Belthazor (forcibly having to change to convince Tarkin he was evil) fought strongly, but in the end retreated.
Tarkin is seen a final time when he attacks Prue and Piper as a diversion while Raynor attacked the amulet bearer in the attic. When he confronts Piper she tries to freeze him, but accidentally blew him up instead with her newly acquired combustion power. Despite his demise, Tarkin was able to distract the sisters long enough for Raynor to goad Cole into killing Janna with a spell, the amulet bearer, and thus (temporarily) destroying Phoebe and Cole's relationship.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
- Active Powers
- Shimmering: The ability to teleport from one place to another via shimmering.
- Energy Balls: The ability to project spheres of energy.
- Sensing: The ability to locate a target.
- Other Powers
- Immortality: The ability to live an infinite lifespan.
- High Resistance: The ability to endure attacks.
Physical AppearanceEdit
Tarkin had curly brown hair, a goatee and sported earrings.
Notes and TriviaEdit
- Tarkin was the first demon to be blown up by Piper.
- Despite his brief tenure on the show, Tarkin has been a footnote in notable development points for multiple major characters. Apart from having been Cole's closest partner in the Brotherhood and being the first to be vanquished by the power which would eventually cement Piper as one of the most powerful witches in history, he also helped lampshade the nefarious plans of the Triad which would be implemented five years later despite the fact that Cole had already killed them.
Tarkin appeared in a total of 2 episodes throughout the course of the series.

- For the musical setting by Rachmaninoff, see All-Night Vigil (Rachmaninoff)
The All-night vigil is a service of the Eastern Orthodox Church consisting of an aggregation of the three canonical hours of Vespers, Matins, and the First Hour. The vigil is celebrated on the eves of Sundays and of major liturgical feasts.[1]
The vigil has been set to music most famously by Sergei Rachmaninoff, whose setting of selections from the service is one of his most admired works. Other musical settings include those by Chesnokov, Grechaninov, Ippolitov-Ivanov, Alexander Kastalsky[2], and Einojuhani Rautavaara. It is most often celebrated using a variety of traditional or simplified chant melodies based on the Octoechos or other sources.
When celebrated at the All-night vigil, the orders of Great Vespers and Matins vary somewhat from when they are celebrated by themselves.[3][4] In parish usage, many portions of the service such as the readings from the Synaxarion during the Canon at Matins are abbreviated or omitted, and it therefore takes approximately two or two and a half hours to perform.
The Psalms cited below are numbered according to the Septuagint, which differs from that found in the Masoretic.
Great Vespers
- Great Censing of the entire church, done in silence
- Opening exclamation by the priest: "Glory to the holy, consubstantial, life-creating, and undivided Trinity, always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages"
- "Come let us worship God our king"
- "Psalm of creation", Psalm 103, selected verses
- Great Litany
- First Kathisma, "Blessed is the man," usually a selection of verses from the first stasis (Psalms 1, 2, and 3) rather than the entire kathisma
- Little Litany
- "Lord I have cried", a composite of Psalms beginning with Psalm 140, with appointed stichera, ending with the Dogmatic Theotokion, a hymn addressed to the Theotokos
- Entrance
- Phos Hilaron ("O gladsome light")
- Prokeimenon for the day
- Old Testament readings (on feast days only)
- Augmented Litany
- The prayer, "Vouchsafe, O Lord"
- Litany of Askings
- Litia (on feast days, though some churches serve the Litia every Sunday as well)
- Aposticha
- Nunc dimittis ("Now lettest Thou thy servant depart in peace") and Trisagion prayers
- Apolytikion—on Sundays: "Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos..."; otherwise, the one appointed for the feast
- Artoklasia, if there was a Litia
- "Blessed be the name of the Lord", Psalm 33, and a blessing
- "Glory to God in the highest", "O Lord, open Thou my lips"
- Six Psalms (Psalms 3, 37, 61, 87, 102, and 142)
- Great Litany
- "God is the Lord", with verses from Psalm 117
- Apolytikion—on Sundays: from the Octoechos; otherwise, for the feast—and its appropriate Theotokion
- 17th Kathisma (Psalm 118) or Polyeleon (Psalms 134 and 135) as appointed for the season
- Megalynarion (feast days)
- Resurrectional Troparia, "The Angelic Council..." (Sundays only)

My Personal Finance Journey Homepage
Since this was in my learning, naive days, I followed Jim Cramer's advice and bought this mutual fund in a Roth IRA account.
This was probably one of the stupidest things I have done financially to date. Let's analyze why.
- First, it is an actively managed fund. And, as we have found in many financial books (A Random Walk Down Wall Street, for example), 70% of actively managed mutual funds fail to beat the market index averages.
- Second, the expenses ratio/fee for owning the CGM Focus fund is 1.23%.
- This is much higher than the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index, whose expense ratio is 0.18%.
- The CGM Focus Fund cannot keep all of it's money invested in equity at all times due to the fact that it has to maintain reserves to redeem shares when investors buy and sell shares. This decreases returns for investors.
- For example, CGM keeps >1% of it's assets in cash vs. Vanguard's Total Stock Market Index which maintains 0.31% in cash.
- Over the past 10 years…
- CGM Focus Fund has increased 120% vs. the S&P500 which has decreased 30% overall.
- Over the past 5 years…
- CGM Focus Fund has decreased 30% vs. the S&P500 which has decreased 15% overall.
- Over the past year…
- CGM Focus Fund has decreased 2% vs. the S&P500 which has increased 15% overall.
- Since I bought the CGM Focus Fund
- My holdings have decreased 22% overall. Wonderful!
- During this same time period, the S&P500 indexed decreased 19%, beating the CGM Focus Fund. Remember, this is even before considering the expense ratio of the CGM Focus fund further diminishing returns.
Why following recent "hot" fund managers does not work
Moolanomy.com recently put out a good piece discussing several reasons why past performance will not be the same going forward. See the link below for more information.
Moolanomy.com – How Important Is Mutual Fund Historic Performance?
Recently, while reading the book by Jerry Tweddell titled, Winning With Index Mutual Funds, I came across a brilliant and very complete section about the reasons why "hot" mutual funds do not perform well in the future. The key findings are listed below.
- The top 20 best performing mutual funds from 1982-1992 fell to an average rank of 142 out of 309 funds in the period 1992-2002. This is basically reverting to average performance.
- When a fund becomes successful, publicity increases, causing more funds to pour in to the fund.
- All too often, this creates the situation of the mutual fund manager having more money than good ideas. This can even put pressure on the manager to purchase additional stocks that he or she is not as enthusiastic about.
- An increase in funds also means that the fund will need to bring in more personnel to handle additional workload. This can create additional people-management problems that the mutual fund manager must handle, distracting him or her from investment analysis.
- Success also increases the chances that a fund manager will be hired away to another firm or start their own business all-together. This increases the chance of turnover in the mutual fund.
- Since the published date, the CGM Focus Fund has decreased 54%, compared to the S&P500 index which has decreased 26%.
As you can see, Jim Cramer recommended the CGM Focus Fund when it was FAR outperforming the S&P500 index (in 3Q-4Q 2007). However, almost immediately after his book was published, the price decreased dramatically.
While there may have been other factors involved in this price decrease, it is interesting how it looks like a classic case of being doomed by your own success, as discussed by Tweddell in his book.
This will be the topic of future post. So, keep your eyes out for it! On the way soon!
How about you all? Do you all own actively managed funds? How have they performed compared to the market indices? Are you thinking of selling out of them?

The Joy of Swimming
It's no secret that I love swimming and pools. Hey, my sign is pisces afterall. I actually get more questions about pool advice than travel advice these days (see my Paris pool advice here and here). Originally I'd tweet my stories, and then when I set out to visit all 39 public pools in Paris I decided they needed to be documented in a visual way (never mind that taking photos at pools in Paris is forbidden), so I started Instagramming my adventures with #parispiscine, and then #PAVswim with all my pool explorations.
It's amazing how posting something that you love, as simple as swimming pools can help foster friendships. When Lisa Congdon announced that she was writing (and illustrating) a book about swimming I was thrilled for her. You can imagine how excited I was when I was drying my hair at the pool after a swim one day, checked my email and Lisa asked me to be part of the book! I called up Meg, and we had a mini photoshoot in the middle of winter of me in my swimsuit, which is the photo Lisa used to illustrate me. Lisa also called on me for research for the Paris spread of the book, which was a huge honor (my name even made it onto the acknowledgements page!). At the time the book didn't have a name other than #theswimmingbook on @lisacongdon's Instagram, but as of today The Joy of Swimming has been released into the world.
The most inspiring part of the book is that it's all about everyday people with a passion for the water. It covers the history, puts in tidbits about swimming you never considered, and on top of it all, Lisa illustrated the entire thing! It's seriously the perfect gift for any swimmers in your life. In fact, I think I sold Lisa's first copy in Paris when a woman sitting next to me was curious about what I was reading. It was actually a really funny story, and I wrote about it in my latest issue of "Underwater" my TinyLetter newsletter about swimming pools and bureaucracy (seriously, the stories are endless!).
Check out Lisa's work, blog, shop, Instagram and The Joy of Swimming book!
P.S. I recently released a Telescope Cards "Paris Piscine" deck with my 25 favorite pools.
Static images by Lisa Congdon.
Telescope Cards: Paris
Nothing beats personal recommendations from friends when you're traveling. Blogs are awesome, but sometimes can get a little overwhelming with so many ideas, and all the information is scattered in too many places. I don't know about you, but I rarely have much time to plan. Besides, it's refreshing to disconnect when you're traveling (if you haven't already gone through your phone battery taking pictures putting you on mandatory disconnect). What's even better is when those recommendations can become a souvenir from your travels as well.
About a year ago, when I was in London, I first met up with Basil Safwat, who is one of the founders of Telescope Cards. We instantly connected on the ways we travel, and what's missing in travel guides, lamenting the fact that there are too many minimalist layouts with pretty pictures, which don't feel particularly personal, or practical. Then he told me about his latest project. Like most things in print, it wasn't until I held a deck in my hand did I realize the awesomeness of Telescope Cards. Telescope Cards were born out of an exchange between Basil and James Croft where "consulting the [custom] map [with personal tips] was like asking a friend where to go next." The bite sized deck that fits in the palm of your hand (or in your pocket) holds 25 place cards, and two extra information cards. The design is smart, with small notches cut out of each card, which are held together by a small rubber band. The best part: anyone can create their own deck!
These awesome handheld souvenirs can be shipped anywhere in the world, and shipping is integrated into the price so no surprises at the last step. The decks are printed on demand by a family-run printer in the UK. I loved the sample decks I got to see [below]. Decks are perfect for a wedding favor (where all the cards were recommendations from the couple, with a story how it's meaningful to them, with the bonus of helping people find great places in the new destination), great to promote other projects/locations/companies (a special gift from a business for their employees or clients), and how awesome would this be for a conference gift, or student orientation. FYI, the business option lets you go more custom than a standard deck, and is for larger orders (and better deal).
The fun thing when you meet the founder of a company, you get to do cool projects yourself and become part of the feedback process of refining how some cards may work better (ie. adding metro stops!). I was able to create two super custom decks. Paris Top 25 includes maps for my favorite places in Paris, with a mini description for each. Paris Piscine celebrates my 25 favorite swimming pools in Paris (I've visited them all!), but instead of having maps, there's a photo of each pool. And yes, you can buy my decks too if you so desire.
For anyone making their own deck, there are even starter decks if you don't feel like starting from scratch. Of course you could take all your favorite blog travel research and create your own. The possibilities are really endless!
The way it works is you type in the name of the place for each card on their website, where there's room for a few lines of text to personalize your card. The platform auto-generates the address, and accompanying map, as well as finding the closest metro stop, as well as noting the distance to other nearby locations featured in your deck. Long story short: it's super simple and user friendly! The main thing to be aware of is that decks cannot be created using places from different cities (unless they're surrounding cities of course), and expect maps on your cards for now. Once you place your order, you'll receive a PDF version of your deck to proof before it goes to the printer. Once it's OKed, they'll dispatch your order within 3 days. It's hard to know which is more exciting—touching your deck for the first time, or giving one to a friend!
Pick up Paris Top 25 and Paris Piscine on the Telescope Card site! (For now you can't find them on the site, so you need to go through these links).
PAV Update: Travel Trends
It's no secret that I juggle a lot of projects and wear many hats. Just check out this interview with me on Khoollect, British chef Rachel Khoo's (of The Little Paris Kitchen fame) new project that searches for inspiration in unlikely places.
Lately I've been traveling a lot. I was in London for a Cultural Tourism Workshop held in London City Hall (top floor of the glass building—amazing!) where I met facilitator of the day @MarDixon (follow her on Twitter if you want to know what's happening in the museum/cultural sphere), along side Cultural Policy representatives from Airbnb, the founder of the Museum of Walking (look it up, it's rad!), the team behind Creative Tourist (co-hosts of the event), and many others in this collaborative realm of cultural tourism that I never knew existed. It was the first participant driven "unconference" style event I'd been to, and it was really refreshing. #LDNculturaltourism was the hashtag of the day, and Mar posted a nice recap on her blog (and on Storify too).
That evening I took a class at General Assembly's cool Second Home London campus [above]. GA has a few branches around the world, and it's a great way to build new skills. I took How to Get Your First 5,000 Users with Howard Kingston, which was awesome and really got me in the mindset for the launch of Studio/Practice (you know, the project that's only 3.5+ years in the works, and counting). Theme of that day: it's amazing how much you can accomplish in 2-3 minutes!
The following week I headed to Amsterdam for Design Thinking Facilitation Training at DesignThinkers Academy. I knew I was going to like it, but I loved every second. We got thrown into it and each had a chance to facilitate a session and get instant feedback from the group. I learned a lot about my role as a participant as well. One of my goals for this year is to offer more workshops. I'd love to work with companies so their employees can benefit from learning new skills and ways of thinking. I was already armed with social media and graphic design expertise, but I'm excited that I've added design thinking to my repertoire.
While in Amsterdam I also met Robin Cox, the founder of the very cool travel site/community Citinerary which goes deeper into the local fabric, exploring how cities work and function through local city enthusiasts and cultural exchanges (it is not about hot spots or trends). Watch his Creative Mornings talk for interesting insights into travel and how the project came to be. (I'm a big fan of the concept of value-driven creativity; he also compares most mainstream tourism trips to one-night stands!). If you're visiting Amsterdam (and a handful of other cities), Citinerary offers a great and affordable way to meet a local; you even get a map! Speaking of Citinerary, there are less than 10 days left in their A City Made by People Kickstarter campaign. The magazine looks amazing and it's interesting to see the next iteration of the project move into print as another form of online meets offline travel, with a human perspective, where people are the focus. You can support the project here. (Even if you can't donate, spreading the word is a huge help! (Image above by Citinerary, although we did have coffee at Toki on the very table where the photo was taken).
So that's what's been inspiring me lately. Along the way I also re-designed and refined my website anneditmeyer.com, which has been a rewarding journey and a constant work in progress [top image: homepage]. You also can get a sneak peek of some projects I haven't announced on my blog yet.
Long story short, while I may be quieter on my blog these days, there are lots of ideas broiling in the background and travel is at the center of it all. Follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to get more up to date trends, resources and inspiration, and believe it or not, I'm hooked on Snapchat too as a fun, refreshingly raw way to travel. I also have ongoing #PAVlondon and #PAVamsterdam mini guides on Instagram. Stay tuned as I have a ton of blog posts planned—now to find the time…
Kid-friendly Paris
As time flies, I find that I increasingly have more friends traveling to Paris with kids, so I thought it was high time to put together a post with my favorite resources. Don't worry, everything applies to kids of all ages. Yes, that means you!
Not so traditional guides:
Paris en Famille map from Herb Lester (the same company as my Paris Small Shops map). Not only is it practical, it's a nice souvenir.
The New Voyager: Paris – a city map for cool kids (or big kids like me).
City Walks for Kids: Paris from Chronicle Books.
OMY Paris coloring map, placements, and giant wall poster. (Entertainment or a souvenir. Coloring books are all the rage in Paris too).
Sign up for a THATlou scavenger hunt of the Louvre, d'Orsay or more.
My Vayable tours are family friendly!
Cheap things to do:
Ride the metro (particularly line 1 – trains come from left to right, so wait on the far right so you can get a front-row seat in a driverless metro car). Pick up a free mini metro map at a metro kiosk for kids to help discover the route. Maps are always fun! Older kids can draw their own.
Ride the public bus so you're above ground and can see everything. (Bus 69 goes by many major sites). The bus is also much easier than the metro with a stroller. [Uses same tickets as the metro.]
Get a sense of the city from the river on a Seine River tour. (Vedettes de Paris / Bateaux Mouches leave from Ile de la City (Pont Neuf) and also by Trocadero [Eiffel Tower] and Pont d'Alma – typically every hour or more frequently).
Go to the park (actually stay by a park too). They're all over the city, and you can expect to run into a lot of other kids after school. The playground at the Luxembourg Gardens is one of the best (it's also the only one where you have to pay for the play area; adults have to pay too), and lots of cool stuff to climb, and there's a zipline for older kids. Luxembourg and Tuileries Gardens are the most likely to have sail boats for the ponds. Trampolines are at Tuileries Gardens (1st arr). Giant plein air sculptures at Parc de la Villette (19th arr).
Run around the black and white Daniel Buren columns in Palais Royal gardens (1st arr). (Parents, you can get a coffee at Kitsuné.)
Visit the passage ways of Paris.
Carousel ride in one of the parks (Eiffel Tower usually has one on both sides of the tower, but the animal one in Jardin des Plantes may be the most memorable!).
Visit the colorful moving fountain next to Centre Pompidou.
Bring a sketchbook and draw your favorite works [in any museum]. Favorite museums for kids: Arts & Métiers, Natural History: Museum d'Evolution and Musée de l'Anatomie.
Look for animals on doors and buildings. They're everywhere.
Have a joust fight with baguettes in front of the Eiffel Tower. (I did this with high schoolers on a tour, but it really works for any age).
Pretend to be a statue.
Watch the Eiffel Tower twinkle – every hour on the hour for 5 minutes when it's dark. (Warning: in summer that can be as late as 11pm!)
Where to eat:
Try to find restaurants that are "en continuation" which means that they serve food all day, rather than closing after lunch. Typical cafés and brasseries will serve food all day. Note, that it's not very common to see kids (even high schoolers) out at restaurants. Always try to go on the early end (noon for lunch, and 7-7:30pm for dinner to avoid crowds; typical dinner starts at 8pm).
Go to a creperie! (Breizh Cafe is the most famous; there are a lot on Rue Saint André in the 6th arr to make things easier, and each has a theme–personally I like the one where you feel like you're in a ship!).
Market streets: Rue Montorgeuil (2nd arrondissement), Rue Cler (7th arrondissement – Eiffel Tower area)
Pack a picnic!
Falafel on Rue des Rosiers in the Marais. (There are several on the street, don't feel pressured to visit the one with the longest line that has made it into every guidebook).
l'Ebouillant – great for lunch, and has an outdoor terrace when it's nice out (between Notre Dame and the Marais)
Increasingly boulangeries like Eric Kayser or Maison Landemaine have seating inside.
HiP Paris: Kid-friendly dining
Time Out family friendly restaurants
New at Shakespeare & Company
Not much is new about Shakespeare & Company bookstore, with its rickety floors and uneven ceilings, this place is a monument in its own right. It's a place with quite a bit of history, however, there are three small additions I thought worthy to write about.
First, this fall a dream came true to open a Shakespeare & Company Café on the corner next to the shop. This was always a goal of Shakespeare's founder George Whitman, but only came to fruition after his death. Food and coffee is by Bob's Food Etc. (try Bob's Juice Bar, Bob's Kitchen and Bob's Bakeshop) which has some of the best and healthiest food around, in addition making some of the yummiest bagels I've ever had. The only downside is that it's hard to grab a table in the small Paris establish. The outdoor tables are great when it's not raining (don't be fooled by the empty ones in the photo below!).
Second, there are readings and events several times a week at the bookshop. Recently I stopped by for a reading by Ethan Hawke, who was in town to promote his new book Rules for a Knight. For anyone who has seen Before Sunset this was like a dream come true, as the movie opens with him doing a reading at Shakespeare & Co. (note: see Before Sunrise first if you haven't – nine years pass between the films; these also happen to be two of my favorite movies). The event was way too popular for me to get inside, but I did manage to get a pretty good photo through the window. I'd actually heard him do a reading at UVA years ago, but this was next level given the setting. You can listen to the podcast of the event with Ethan Hawke on their website.
Finally, Shakespeare & Company is the latest Parisian shop to sell my Herb Lester Paris Small Shops map! And [currently] you can't miss it on the check-out desk. It's such a dream to have my map sold here, and as it's all about supporting local small shops (check out #ParisSmallShops on Instagram), so there couldn't be a better fit. (And in the spirit of supporting small shops, stop by and say hello to Stephane at Librairie Galerie Louis Rozen in the 5th, who sells a wide range of the fabulous Herb Lester maps of various cities, as well as some very cool retro inspired posters and books!).
There are so many great bookstores in Paris, and some of that is due to the restrictions that the French government has put on Amazon. From my experience French are voracious readers, and I love passing so many book shops around the city. Every morning on the metro I do a little tally to see if more people are reading print or looking at their phones; believe it or not books and print often win out!
The other perk of Shakespeare & Co. is that they stamp your book to prove you bought it there. It's almost as good as a signing, and makes for a wonderful souvenir! They'll also give you a cool bookmark, and they have great tote bags (see above) for sale.

Ai Weiwei at Le Bon Marché
Even if you can't make it to Paris before the end of the month, I wanted to share images of Chinese artist and political activist Ai Weiwei's latest (temporary) installation, Er Xi at Le Bon Marché department store in Paris. I knew it would be beautiful, but I didn't expect the sense of joy and childlike wonder that came over me as I started to look up at the world above me. Er Xi means "Child's Play" as the 22 mystical animals come to life overhead.
If you speak French, Le Bon Marché offers guided visits on Thursday afternoons (reservations required). Don't miss the windows outside as well (not pictured here, because I missed them). The installation is up until February 20th. Ai Weiwei has a fascinating background, spending his childhood in exile. I would have loved to have seen his installation on Alcatraz, which was more colorful.

Traveling Through Time: Volez, Voguez, Voyagez
It's easy to take travel for granted these days with the ease of trains, planes and automobiles. Despite relatively easy access to all modes of transportation and the existence of low-cost carriers, much of the glamour and mystique has disappeared as we wait in security lines, or sit traffic jams. At times it can be hard to imagine what travel used to be like, and that is really wasn't something everyone could afford to do. The current Louis Vuitton show Volez, Voguez, Voyagez at the Grand Palais is a fascinating look back in time through travel and craftsmanship. With trunks and travel bags at the core of the Vuitton business, it is easy to see the ways styles emerged alongside new modes of travel.
The exhibition introduction reads "The House of Louis Vuitton is based on the principles of French style, recognizing the beauty of an object in its function and mobility." Louis Vuitton founded his company in 1854 as a skilled box maker. He worked to perfect the design of the flat trunk, which would become the iconic piece of LV, and a precursor to modern luggage. Louis Vuitton and later his son George, and grandson Gaston-Louis sought to perfect details through the use of materials, keeping the trunks light and ergonomically designed, with interior compartments and padding, designing tumblr locks (including the use of a single lock that can be used on multiple pieces), and creating canvas patterns to make their works stand apart.
Many of the same woodworking tools are used today.
The details which go into each piece. This one belonged to Lauren Bacall.
The traditions of craftsmanship continue to this day in the Louis Vuitton ateliers in Asnières-sur-Seine, just north of Paris, for one of a kind and special order pieces. One of the most special details to see which has carried on throughout time is the use of hand painted monograms. Of particular interest was Louis Vuitton's own bleu, blanc et rouge "V" on his own luggage.
Trans-Atlantic travel. Steam vessels started service in the 1830s. Vuitton's own monogram can be seen on the steamer bag second from the left.
Over time, the luggage took on different forms, from needing a vertical trunk to use as a dresser on a trans-Atlantic ship and a "steamer bag" to be carried on-board (a precursor to the handbag), metal trucks for colonial expeditions, trapezoidal bags to fit into the trunk of an automobile, a more malleable, lighter bag for air travel, or a thin trunk for easy under seat access during train travel. Elements of each of these iterations of travel can be see in the Louis Vuitton bags of today.
Pieces of today which take a nod from trunks created for colonial expeditions of the 1920s.
Automobiles, starting in the 1890s, influenced the shape of travel.
Each room of the exhibition takes you through this experience back in time including sketches in Vuitton's notebooks, patent sketches, order forms, and publicity of the time. The final room has artisans working as they do today, which is ironically not that different than how it all first started.
Lightweight and functional luggage was required for travel by plane. Commercial airlines came to play in the 1900s.
Railways started service in the 1830s. There was a need for travel trunks and bags. Clothing was adapted to mode of travel.
Volez, Voguez, Voyagez is on at the Grand Palais until February 21st. Besides being free, the exhibition also has a fantastic accompanying app (download it even if you can't go in person). The exhibition is visually rich, but I enjoyed the extras in the audio guide, which can also be found in the app. You'll travel like you never thought possible through the vision of Louis Vuitton. Even if I can't afford my own custom Louis Vuitton trunk any time soon, I still have an incredible appreciation of all the work that goes into making one.
Order specifications for Francis Picabia and Henri Matisse.
With photography less common than it is today, stickers from hotels were a way to document where one had visited. The designs are beautiful, and much of the Vuitton collection is on display in the train room.
Le Grand Palais is located at 3 Avenue du Général Eisenhower, 75008 Paris. The closest metro is Champs-Elysées Clemenceau.

The Year of…
In case it wasn't obvious, in 2015 I wasn't very present on my blog. It doesn't mean I wasn't doing anything. Au contraire. To be honest, I started my blog in 2007, and it's not that I don't love it and the opportunities it has led to, but the fact that there are just not enough hours in the day to pursue everything I want (while still staying sane).
Instead of New Year's resolutions, every year I give myself a theme. For 2015 my theme was EXECUTE. I'm guilty of coming up with endless ideas, but actually doing something with them is another battle. 2015 was about revisiting things I've been wanting to do, and talking about, for a long time, but I hadn't gotten around to actually doing. I've always loved Scott Belsky's concept of "revisiting the archives" in his book Making Ideas Happen. So that's exactly what I did as I made my game plan.
My list included creating my Paris Poster Tumblr of photos I've been taking for years around the city that provide me endless inspiration, launching my Herb Lester Paris Small Shops map, giving some TLC to my existing Skillshare classes with annotated video notes, getting over my fear of website metrics/analytics, taking a writing workshop, joining a creative business group, moving forward on Studio/Practice (even though it's still mainly behind the scenes), visiting all the public swimming pools in Paris, and collaborating on another print project (hopefully I'll be announcing soon). Really, it was about taking small steps to keep moving me forward to where I want to be.
Check out my latest piece on Medium to find out my theme for 2016, and what's in store for the year ahead!
P.S. When I'm not blogging, don't forget you can find me on Twitter and Instagram!
3 Weeks of Map Making
Sure you have the joy of taking my Skillshare classes year round at your own pace, but just in time for the holidays, I thought it'd be fun to run a special map making session where I share new ideas, inspiration and resources. I'll be sending regular email reminders to keep everyone on track, as well as giving feedback to projects. The goal is to encourage people to make a gift this year, rather than buying one. What better gift than a map?
For some added inspiration you can see some of the amazing and creative projects students have created in this class in the past. It's open to all levels and abilities, and there's no need to be a designer to join. The videos haven't changed since I first launched the class, but I've added annotations and loads of new resources.
To join you need to sign up for my Map Making class (the membership will let you take as many Skillshare classes as your heart desires), and also sign up for the session. I'll also be giving away two awesome prizes to one lucky participant: a copy of the Herb Lester Paris Small Shops city guide I wrote, as well as a copy of the book The Art of Illustrated Maps by John Roman. Hope to see you there!!

After the Attacks, Paris Resilience
There are too many days in history where one minute changes everything. In a city where I always feel so safe (with the exception of a higher risk of pickpockets), the Nov 13th Paris attacks were, and still are, incredibly surreal. The majority of the attacks were in the 11th arrondissement – my neighborhood! – and nearby 10th. Much has been written since about these neighborhoods, and the fact that they are multi-cultural and welcoming places. The locations targeted still feel so arbitrary to me, and I very well could have been at any of them. I have friends who had plans to be at the cafes and restaurants, but plans changed for one reason or another that night.
I feel incredibly fortunate, that in a small city, where I know hundreds of people, I did not know any victims. However, I am only one person removed in several cases. I've found myself donating to people and families I've never met, but it's part of the healing process. The first week was the hardest, the longest. Every day starts to feel a bit more normal, but you still ask a friend "How are you?" and the response is still mixed. You feel strange going on like nothing happened, but at the same time life is way too short to live in fear.
And as terrifying as terrorism is, the way I see it, we're still more likely to be victims of a car accident from crossing the street by looking at our phones instead of paying attention to where we are going. To be honest what is scarier to me now is some of the anti-refugee and religious rhetoric that I've seen come out of the U.S. When everything was unfolding, I once again was very appreciative of European news coverage – particularly watching the France24 livestream on Youtube – that is balanced, smart, straight reporting, not speculative or fear inducing.
Throughout everything, Paris has proved its resilience. And that's what makes this city so amazing. The images below are all part of my own healing process.
I was in Berlin when the news of the attacks happened, set to catch a 6am flight the next morning. For the first time ever, I intentionally missed my flight (thankfully the airline was incredibly understanding and rescheduled). Everything had taken place in my neighborhood, at places I pass on a regular basis. I was up until 4:30am following the developments and there were still so many unanswered questions. Instead, I stayed in Berlin for an extra two days. On Saturday a German friend took me to Brandenburg Tor where the French Embassy in Berlin is, and where crowds were paying their respects.
When I returned to Paris on Monday there was a chill in the air, with the grey skies and quiet streets. Tourists were out, but their heads were in maps so they probably didn't notice the lack of people on the streets. I walked by Café de la Paix near Opera to see the tables and chairs stacked and the terrace closed. I felt like I processed a lot while I was away, but that day felt far more overwhelming than I expected.
Fluctuat Nec Mergitur is the Latin phrase that appears on the Paris coat of arms and translates to "tossed but not sunk." I didn't expect to pass two attack site memorials in my neighborhood on my way to this wall (I was on autopilot- a typical route I take). I hadn't made the connection from news reports, and then I saw flowers. It still feels unimaginable. Many people were there paying respects as the city works to heal.
Notre meilleure arme le sourire. Our best weapon is a smile. Spotted in the 10th arrondissement.
Like many monuments around the world, the Eiffel Tower turned bleu, blanc et rouge.
Même pas peur. Don't be afraid. ❤ Touching respects at Place de la République. As people lit candles and left notes, there were sounds of sniffles (the healing kind) and in the background a gospel choir sang while multiple people carried signs that said "calins gratuits" (free hugs).
A moment of peace at Place de la République.

Many of these images already appeared on my Instagram feed, where I often tell stories and share my impressions when I don't have time to blog. I shared thoughts on Twitter as well.

Cities and towns Edit
Civil rights Edit
Despite its large number of black residents, McIntosh County politics continued to be dominated by whites well into the 1970s, even following the federal civil rights legislation of the decade previous. In September 1975, the Georgia Legal Services Program, on behalf of local NAACP members, filed suit in US District Court, alleging that women and blacks were systematically excluded from grand juries responsible for appointing members to the McIntosh County Board of Education. The following May, plaintiffs and county officials reached an agreement providing for random jury selection.
In 1977, the NAACP filed separate suits against McIntosh County and the City of Darien, alleging improper districting for county and city commission seats. The county settled out of court, agreeing to redraw its commission boundaries to include a black-majority district. The NAACP lost its suit against the city, but this decision was remanded and reversed in 1979 by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
Praying for Sheetrock: A Work of Nonfiction (ISBN 0-201-55048-2) by Melissa Fay Greene narrates the events surrounding the civil rights movement in McIntosh County, particularly the demise of white Sheriff Thomas H. Poppell and the 1978 election of black rights activist Thurnell Alston to the county commission.
Famous residents Edit
McIntosh County is home to the McIntosh County Shouters, a traditional performance group of the Gullah ethnic group, based in the town of Eulonia. They perform the ring shout, an African tradition of counterclockwise movement performed to singing, chanting and percussive accompaniment utilizing the hands and feet, that has been passed down from African ancestors from generation to generation.[2]

by Max Lucado
Let me first say that I really generally enjoy anything that Max writes, but this is not the type of book I would typically purchase for myself, nor is it a book I would purchase as a gift for someone.
It is a compilation of life questions regarding topics such as hope, hurt, help, him/her, home, haves/have-nots, and the hereafter. The questions are based on letters, emails, calls, questions etc from people like you and me. I think this would be a good read for an airplane flight or a road trip in the car - as it has short little question and answer chapters. Easy to pick up and put down. Although there is definite substance in the answers, I personally prefer the short stories used in Mr. Lucado's other books like No Wonder They Call Him the Savior.
Max's understanding of God's grace shines through his often unexpected, honest answers to some of the questions. I'm sure that these are the stand-out questions that Max has received repeatedly through his years of servanthood, and that weighed the most on his heart. I'm just not sure that it was worth writing an entire book for these questions. Perhaps they would have just as easily been answered on a blog or as an addendum to another book related to the topics.... just my opinion.
Disclaimer: I received this book form free from Book Sneeze in exchange for an honest review.

Yesterday the House of Representatives voted to support the most extreme, anti-charter school legislation that the state has seen in well over a decade.
The provisions tucked inside HB2 circumvent the normal democratic process and throw New Hampshire's children under the bus of some very well paid lobbyists in Concord.
A number of amendments were put forward in an effort to try and protect public charter schools however each was defeated, virtually along party lines.
What is HB2?
HB2 is the companion bill to the state budget bill HB1.
Why do charter school opponents use HB2?
Because it allows them to bypass the regular democratic process and skip public policy hearings in House Education.
Because the House is only required to vote for the changes once as part of a much larger bill, i.e. it's easier to hide them.
Because it makes it harder for the public to identify who proposed the changes.
Because their lobbyists don't need to testify against public charter schools in open policy hearings that the public can witness.
What provisions are included in HB2?
The provisions in HB2 are particularly obscene as a number of them would clearly discriminate against public charter schools students. These provisions are the legislative equivalent, of injecting the charter school law with some horrific disease.
HB2 would cut charter school funding by $2.5 million. It would not cut aid to district schools, it would increase it.
HB2 would place a two year moratorium on new charter schools. This would likely result in the loss of $5.6 million in remaining grant funds.
HB2 would release the Department of Education from its duty to apply for all federal funding for public charter schools. It would not do so for district schools.
HB2 would remove a protection that allows the legislature flexibility for charter expenditures. It would not do so for district schools. (RSA 198:42 II)
HB2 would require that charter schools perform program audits every 3 years, it is currently every 5 years.
HB2 would require the Board of Education to approve changes in enrollment.
HB2 would create a "study committee" consisting of legislators. The committee would likely be political in nature and lacks a neutral, third party evaluator experienced in the evaluation of public charter schools.
About NHCIS
The New Hampshire Center for Innovative Schools is a NH registered non-profit whose members are committed to helping inspire the creation of innovative public schools in New Hampshire. We offer assistance to all New Hampshire charter schools and groups wanting to learn more about these innovative programs. Our services are free, we do not charge or accept payment for our assistance.
