A Profile of the Eastern Cape Province: Demographics, Poverty, Inequality and Unemployment
AbstractThis paper forms part of a series of papers that present profiles of South Africa's provinces, with a specific focus on key demographic statistics, poverty and inequality estimates, and estimates of unemployment. In this volume comparative statistics are presented for agricultural and non-agricultural households, as well as households from different racial groups, locations (metropolitan, urban and rural areas) and district municipalities of the Eastern Cape. Most of the data presented are drawn from the Income and Expenditure Survey of 2000 and the Labour Force Survey of September 2000, while some comparative populations statistics are extracted from the National Census of 2001 (Statistics South Africa). The papers should be regarded as general guidelines to (agricultural) policymakers as to the current socio-economic situation in the Eastern Cape, particularly with regards to poverty, inequality and unemployment.

Floor options
January 7, 2013 in Design Dilemma
I have a very dark brown tiled floor throughout the house and need to lighten it up with a very limited budget. Any ideas?
Yes, a chevron pattern would be fun and lighten it up. You can get runners, etc. Many are washable too! BTW..white shades and light would make a difference too.
Good ideas thanks for your feedback. Actually, I would like either a timber or light tiled floor, this will make a huge difference and make the house much lighter.

The problem is that the stuff that fetch.php outputs is partial pure HTML and partial inline javascript. And this is where it gets tricky. If I declare an inline javascript function in the returned data, Firefox (and I suspect MSIE) refuses to understand that the function is there. It simply doesn't exist (!).
Using the Web Developer add-on for Firefox, there's an option to look at "Source code" and "Generated source code". The output from these two differ in that when I view the "Generated source code", I see the dynamically inserted javascript/HTML from fetch.php, whereas viewing "just" the source doesn't.
I'm using Prototype 1.5.1, and haven't run into any other snags with the Ajax, forms, etc. than this :-(

Hello all. Etro Heliotrope(the original version).
Hello, everyone! Sorry for ducking out for so long... The end-of-December winter holidays were a real whirlwind here. New Year's Day in particular was lovely, but we had our annual Open House (150+ people over the course of the day - We cook like fiends and others also contribute so there is a steady stream of delicious food and drink (as well as contributions to some local food pantries), plus singing - and live music this year! )...Very wonderful, but exhausting. I'm only just now coming up for air.
Anyhow, I'm pleased to be posting almost immediately after Evangeline, because I thought of her today as I chose my SOTD:
Imaginary Authors L'Orchidee Terrible. I rather enjoy the conceit of the line (perfumes based on characters and story lines in made-up books), and L'Orchidee is, in my opinion, quite lovely although not ground-breaking.
I thought, Evangeline, that both you and the little ballerinas might enjoy it (PM me if you need a sample). It's sweet, super-aldehydic, but somehow manages not to be cloying. It doesn't have the heft of a classicly European aldehyde fragrance, but I'm quite pleased with it!
L'Orchidee Terrible notes: Orchid, Honey, Muguet, Aldehydes, White Musk & Satin.
Its thought that people who hope too much will just waste their life away and never get down to doing any real work. Theyre confusing Hope with Wish, its lazy cousin... When Wish whispers, Something is just around the corner, what comes or not is never what was wished for. When Hope whispers Something is just around the corner, something always is. -- Charlie Elberson

Hi everyone
Une Fleur de Cassie worked it's magic this on a wonderfully warm day. The Cassie, vanilla and sandalwood in the dry down is delicious.
Tonight some fun and games. Working on analysing the movements of age specific cohorts in high density urban developments (aka where are all the hip young people moving to?). For olfactory amusement staging a battle of the skanks vintage Bal a Versaille (thanks Danieq!) vs. ELDO's Putain des Palaces and to complete the experience what else but La Traviata as the soundtrack.
Enjoying the honest to goodness fantastic cloud of floral, powdered skankiness. I revisited the review of BaV by le mouchoir de monsieur (it's quite a read, possibly the best review I have read in a long time, maybe ever). First time I read it I was a little short of breath and needed several moments to collect myself. After reading it again tonight I once again have the most vivid carnal images seared into my brain.
ScentFan for you m'dear, Necks, Opera and BaV. His 'Necks' series is exquisite, makes me wonder what each of the necks would be scented with.
Have a lovely day!

Good morning everyone,
Welcome back, ComDiva! Your open house sounds amazing! What a wonderful way to ring in the New Year!!
Nice to get to sit next to Xscent this morning! Now, if only I actually was sitting next to you - I have never sniffed Un Fleur de Cassie but it's on the sniff list.
I'm in Tokyo Milk Waltz No. 14 (linden, honeyed rose, wisteria, white musk) this morning. I bought this at a super funky boutique in Asheville, NC (one of my favorite places in the whole world) and wearing this always puts me in Asheville, walking down the happily crowded sunny streets where street musicians play on the corner, under a clear blue sky with fresh mountain air. (Although it's in the negative degrees there today, so I guess I will stay here where at least it's 12.)
Your New Year's Open House sounds spectacular! That sure is a lot of cooking, and tons of work on top of that, but I have absolutely no doubt that your effort made the day of all 150+ attendees. Happy New Year! xo

I'm joining Evangeline and fellow heliotrope-scented SOTDers in L'Heure Bleue, vintage extrait. I have one tiny flacon from the 1980s that's deliciously full of cinnamon.

Hello all--Temps are now at F -8 ( -22 c ) from a deliciously frosty F -11 yesterday ( -24 c) here in Chicago. All the schools closed, etc. Haven't been out of the house in several days, so I'm a little nuts.
Have been on a sampling tear the past few days of much of the Bond No. 9 I Love NY series and a few others in the main line that I have, which number about twelve or so, from the Chicago BN event. Well, that made me very nuts, and I don't mean in a "nut accord" sort of way!

Still in vintage Guerlain for the afternoon, this time it's Parure extrait, just a few small spritzes from my decant courtesy of my mother's stunning bottle. I don't wear it often, but neither does she, so I know just where to go once this plummy, rosy, oh-so-mossy wonder runs out.

Jon, specatacular photos of views close and far. Thank you.
Spent the day in biting—in the love bite sense—vintage Chamade EdC. Later I put a little Mollie Parnis on a scarf for my first venture into the cold in two days; it and Chamade made for a bittersweet duet, and they seem to bloom in the cold. This was news to me, as I generally have used galbanum scents in the warm weather. Now I know to add this note to my winter repertoire.

ComDiva - New Years at your house sounds awesome, I'm sure you & Mr. ComDiva were the perfect hosts. Nice to see you back, I've been away also.
Xscent - I love that review of Bal a Versailles by BN member mdm also. How I miss him & his crazy posts. I never really warmed to BaV myself, but then again I haven't properly sampled vintage parfum. One of these days...
cello - I'm jealous. I'd kill for some Bois de Iles parfum in this cold weather that we're having here in Miami. Enjoy!
My trip to Los Angeles & Palm Springs was super awesome - I will post more about it later on in the week...since I'm getting ready for bed now.
This morning it was:

So much better than the fragrance, the oil (dabbed) is like a cocoon of amber/woods/powder. A sweater + this stuff = instant comfort.

"The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not the "thinker." The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter - beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind.
You begin to awaken"

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

what makes it even sadder is the reason they left her in an orphanage. they didn't want her to know she was a mutant. they wanted her to live a normal human life so they gave her up while they live in the sewers as mutants.

But acknowledging that "Mountain Meadows was Mormon violence, and that there were Danites," says Stanford historian Richard White, "goes further than they have ever gone."
Penn's Gordon, White and others do note some glaring omissions and one-sided accounts.
Highlights from the essay
» Mobs expelled Mormons from Missouri in 1839 after the governor issued an "extermination" order and from Nauvoo, Ill., in 1846, two years after the murders of LDS founder Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum.
» At least 17 Mormon men and boys were slaughtered at Hawn's Mill in October 1838 in Caldwell County, Mo. "Some Latter-day Saint women were raped or otherwise sexually assaulted during the Missouri persecutions," the essay notes. "Vigilantes and mobs destroyed homes and stole property."
» The rampaging Missouri mobs prompted some LDS leaders and members to form a paramilitary group known as the Danites. These vigilantes "intimidated church dissenters and other Missourians," the article states. " … Mormon vigilantes, including many Danites, raided two towns believed to be centers of anti-Mormon activity, burning homes and stealing goods." Joseph Smith likely approved of the Danites, but historians doubt he was "briefed on all their plans and likely did not sanction the full range of their activities."
» After their Missouri woes, Latter-day Saints formed a militia, the Nauvoo Legion, to protect themselves in Illinois. Feared by many outsiders, this legion, nonetheless, did not retaliate after the mob murders of the Smith brothers and eventually disbanded.
» Tensions between Ute Indians and Mormons mounted in 1849 after a Latter-day Saint killed a Ute known as "Old Bishop, whom he had accused of stealing his shirt. Back-and-forth skirmishes and accusations eventually prompted Mormon leader Brigham Young, who enjoyed friendships with several Indian leaders, to authorize "a campaign against the Utes." "A series of battles in February 1850 resulted in the deaths of dozens of Utes and one Mormon," the essay states. "In these instances and others, some Latter-day Saints committed excessive violence against native peoples."

Gordon argues the essay could have explored more fully early comments about "blood atonement."
That teaching, as espoused by Young and others, was that "some sins were so serious that the perpetrator's blood would have to be shed in order to receive forgiveness."
The topic could have used "more explanation and more details," Gordon says, especially in light of "how widely it is discussed in the literature" of the era.
White, an expert in Western American history, says that tales of horrific crimes attributed to the Danites were exaggerated "but not all accusations were wild or untrue."
Until nonpartisan historians are allowed to examine the evidence in LDS archives, he says, "we will never know what was really going on. Were they using armed bands to eliminate those who had defected?"
White maintains the essay also underplays the Mormon role in triggering the violence in the Midwest, framing it all as persecution of the believers.
"It turns out," he says, "Missouri was in the midst of a civil war."
Jan Shipps, an American historian specializing in Mormon history, also believes the essay downplays Mormon culpability before the exodus to Utah.
"In the description of the Hawn's Mill Massacre and the Missouri War," Shipps says, "you would think the Mormons were sweet and charming to everyone."
Some of the actions came in response to early Mormon rhetoric.
When Missouri Gov. Lilburn Boggs' issued his "extermination order" against the Latter-day Saints, Shipps says, he was echoing the language Mormon leader Sidney Rigdon had used in a sermon, talking about the church's enemies. Joseph Smith had Rigdon's speech printed and circulated among the faithful.
Today's church, she says, would "find it difficult to accept the amount of hostility that was expressed by Mormons after they were driven from Illinois."
This essay, Shipps says, "goes a long way to helping Mormons see their ancestors as part of American Western history — with all its flaws."

Measles outbreak finds its way into Whatcom County
Published on Wed, Apr 2, 2014 by
Brandy Kiger Shreve
Read More
Four cases of measles have been confirmed in Whatcom County, and have been linked to the outbreak of measles in the Fraser Valley East, just north of the U.S./Canada border that occurred in early March.
As of March 26, British Columbia health officials have confirmed nearly 300 cases of measles in the Fraser Valley community. The majority of the cases are related to a religious community and school, the Netherlands Reformed Congregation, that has a very high number of unvaccinated children, Whatcom County Health Officer Greg Stearns said. "All but two of the cases in the Fraser Valley are related to that community," Stearns said. "The two who weren't live in close proximity to the others."
While there has been no significant spread of measles outside of the Fraser Valley East communities, one Whatcom County family with ties to that community has contracted the illness and remains in isolation. "We're working with them to identify everyone they have come in contact with, and following up with symptomatic individuals," Stearns said.
The school's immunization rate was under 5 percent.
The health department will be continuing to monitor the situation and to provide vaccine for those who are not immune to measles.
Because of the outbreak, Whatcom County Health Department is urging residents who travel to make sure they have all of their immunizations up to date before crossing the border.
Measles is a highly contagious disease that is spread by respiratory and airborne droplets. It can remain in the air for up to two hours after the infectious person has left the room. Measles cases are contagious from four days before to four days after their rash begins. It can take from seven to 21 days for someone to come down with measles after they have been exposed to the virus.
"Someone can be contagious from the onset of symptoms," Stearns said. "And the symptoms begin like the common cold, with a runny nose and possibly conjunctivitis and then three to four days later, they'll develop a rash near their hairline and a fever of 101ºF or more. That creates a 7 to 8 day period where someone with measles is contagious."
Stearns said that there is a 90 percent chance that someone who is unvaccinated and exposed to measles will contract the disease. "It has a very aggressive attack rate," he said.
Although the health department does not anticipate that measles will become a problem in Whatcom County, they have asked health care professionals to please be on the lookout for this disease.
If you or a family member have had a fever and have now developed a rash, notify your health care provider about it before you go to their office or the emergency department.
It is important to wear a mask and try not to spread this virus especially in a setting where there are other people.
The best protection against measles is vaccination, the health department said. Two doses of the Measles, Mumps, Rubella vaccine (also called MMR) is very effective against this disease. "We know that the vaccine is 98 to 99 percent effective in keeping people protected," Stearns said. "We hope for a 90 percent vaccination rate, what we call 'community immunity,' as a protection for those who don't get immunized, have an immune deficiency or don't respond to the vaccine." The health department recommends that you stay home if you are ill and especially if you suspect that you have measles. If you have been exposed to someone with measles and you are not immune to this disease, you may be asked to stay away from others for up to 21 days after your exposure.

The thyroid is a gland located in the neck, that secretes different hormones. The main hormones that are taken care of by the thyroid are T3 and T4. These help deliver energy to the cells in your body. There are two main conditions that can arise with the thyroid; hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Nearly 30 million Americans have some sort of thyroid disease, most of which are going undiagnosed.
Hypothyroidism is characterized by an under active thyroid gland. The main symptom of hypothyroidism is a slow metabolism, and can also include depression, weight gain, and fatigue. Hypothyroidism can be caused by many things. It can be a genetic disorder, or can be caused by some types of medication. Certain types of infections may even cause hypothyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism on the other hand, is when the gland overproduces the thyroid hormones. This causes an increase of hormone production. Hyperthyroidism also includes an increased heart rate, trouble sleeping, and even infertility. Hyperthyroidism is generally caused by a grown in the thyroid gland. Grave's disease is generally associated with this thyroid disorder.
Both of these thyroid problems are much more common in women than in men. In fact, a woman has about a one in five chance of having a thyroid issue at some point in their life. Generally, hypothyroidism is seen more frequently than hyperthyroidism. They are also both treatable by medications. If you are concerned that you may have a thyroid problem, consult with your doctor. These can be found by a simple blood test, and easily treated. Make sure that, as with any medication, you make sure that there are not any drug interactions with any prescriptions you may currently be taking.
Thyroid problems are very common. They can generally be easily treated, but if you do have a problem with your thyroid, make sure to have regular check ins with your doctor, as it can become a serious condition.

Meet Alphonso Pettis, first donor to The Indianapolis Foundation
Alphonso Perceval Pettis was a businessman, world traveler, philanthropist, and the first benefactor of The Indianapolis Foundation.
After losing his first fortune with the failed Claflin Company, one of the nation's largest wholesale firms in New York, Mr. Pettis founded the Syndicate Trading Company, supplying retail firms with products from throughout the world. In typical Pettis fashion, Syndicate Trading became one of the "world's largest" and he was well on his way to success. One of his customers was The New York Store, a leading dry goods business on East Washington Street in Indianapolis. On one of his rare visits to this city he bought the store, changing the name to "The Pettis Dry Goods Company, The New York Store."
Possessing his second fortune, Mr. Pettis retired to Nice, France in 1890 at age 60. Nine years before his death, A.P. Pettis began distributing his fortune to many beneficiaries in six states, and then making special gifts and bequests to charitable organizations, institutions, and hospitals in Indianapolis, New York City, and elsewhere. He gave the remainder of his estate to The Indianapolis Foundation by trust deed executed May 5, 1920, with a total value estimated at more than $300,000. This is equivalent to a $3 million gift today!
In making the distribution of his fortune prior to his death, A.P. Pettis had particularly recognized the place of The Indianapolis Foundation in the life of the community, thereby strengthening the hands of the Foundation's trustees for future work. The gift became the inspiration to other prominent businessmen and women of the city to make similar contributions to The Indianapolis Foundation.
The Foundation's first expenditure from the Pettis gift went to the Public Health Nursing Association of Indianapolis, forerunner of the Visiting Nurse Association of Indianapolis, Inc., followed closely by the establishment of a scholarship fund for students in need.
But today, and for many tomorrows, thousands of Indianapolis men, women, and children will enjoy a better life because of his foresight and generosity.
"When I made this gift to the citizens of Indianapolis, I had only in mind something for those who had done so much for me," Mr. Pettis later wrote.
This abbreviated article originally appeared in The Indianapolis Foundation's 1974 Yearbook.

Officials say an earthquake early-warning system provided an alert 10 seconds before the 6.0 quake was felt in the Bay Area yesterday.
Friday's magnitude 5.1 earthquake centered in La Habra was felt by an estimated 17 million people, and 16,000 of them used the U.S. Geological Survey's Did You Feel It? online reporting system to provide seismologists with data on their experiences.
The Did You Feel It? system was created in 1999; before that, the USGS sent snail-mail questionnaires to people who lived in ZIP codes that had been affected by earthquakes. People filled out and returned the questionnaires, and the information they gave had to be compiled in a process that took months. Thanks, Internet: Now scientists have quick access to usable, sortable data from the public that helps establish the intensity of an earthquake and how far from its epicenter it was felt.
Here's our full coverage of the earthquake and its aftershocks.

Since 1973, more than 100 earthquakes with a magnitude of 4 or higher have struck in the greater Los Angeles area. Our interactive map allows you to see the location, magnitude and date of each quake.
Friday's 5.1 earthquake was a potent reminder of a fault that is less known to most Californians than the San Andreas, but that seismologists believe can produce a catastrophic disaster. That fault, the Puente Hills fault, is so dangerous because of its location, reporter Rong-Gong Lin II explains. Here's our full coverage of Southern California's recent earthquakes and an earthquake preparedness guide.

Remembering the Northridge earthquake
Twenty years ago, a massive earthquake struck Los Angeles, killing an estimated 60 people and leaving billions of dollars in damages in its wake.

Los Angeles' multitude of buildings at risk during an earthquake
A number of older buildings in Los Angeles, despite the dangers being well-known to officials and builders alike, don't meet current earthquake safety standards.
By the most conservative estimate, as many as 50 of these buildings in the city alone would be destroyed, exposing thousands to injury or death.
A cross-section of the city lives and works in them: seamstresses in downtown factories, white-collar workers in Ventura Boulevard high-rises and condo dwellers on Millionaires' Mile in Westwood.
Despite their sturdy appearance, many older concrete buildings are vulnerable to the sideways movement of a major earthquake because they don't have enough steel reinforcing bars to hold columns in place.
Head over to the full analysis of the at-risk structures, or explore a map of the buildings that could pose a danger.

When a major earthquake strikes, seconds count. A proposed $80-million system similar to one in Japan would use sensors in the ground to alert residents before an earthquake hits and would be the first such network in the U.S.

2013 Founders & Visionaries
(page 3 of 4)
Gentry Homes, Ltd.
Building Quality Homes and Communities for a Better Hawaii
Sandalwood Plan 3 and the interior of Sandalwood Plan 1
Thomas H. Gentry came to Hawaii with a dream to build quality homes and communities for a better Hawaii. His experience in new home design and construction came with him, and today Gentry Homes is a family brand name. Arriving with his young family in the late 1960's, Tom began to build a vision for a new company that would fulfill his dream and become the largest family owned builder of master plan communities in Hawaii. Although he passed away in 1998, his dream and vision continue as Gentry Homes celebrates its 45th anniversary providing new home ownership to the hard working families of Hawaii.
Tosh Hosoda, Senior Vice President of Planning, has been a key player on the Gentry team for over 30 years and remembers the first communities Gentry built on the Windward side called Kukilakila and Alii Cluster. Others followed like Haiku Point, CrossPointe, Waialae Iki V, Hilo Country Club Estates and Kona Reef on the Big Island. "Tom moved ferociously ahead and caught the attention of Foremost-McKesson, a large Bay area industrial properties firm who wanted a piece of his fortitude and development expertise. They acquired Gentry but it was a relatively small division within a large company. Tom had better ideas and following his mandatory obligation to Foremost-McKesson, formed Gentry Homes, Ltd. and other related companies. It was a smart move as Tom positioned himself as a major Hawaii home builder."
Gentry moved forward to develop the 510-acre Waipio by Gentry master-planned community in Central Oahu in 1979. As the demand for housing continued to grow Tom began work on the Ewa by Gentry master-planned community which today has over 7,500 homes built with several hundred more to go. Other projects include the Department of Hawaiian Homeland's Kanehili development where Gentry designed and built over 300 homes. Since its founding date in 1968, Gentry has proudly built over 12,000 homes for Hawaii's families.
Gentry Homes is still moving forward with today's technology and is always looking for ways to improve the process and quality of the homes they build. Bob Brant, President of Gentry Homes, and his talented team have proudly introduced the 'Gentry Green Living' product line which could be the most energy efficient new homes on the market today. Having earned the Energy Star Housing Award from the EPA, several Parade of Homes Grand Champion awards, and a prestigious LEED Platinum designation in a recent design, "Gentry's efforts are all about the customer and what they get out of it," said Brant. "We start from the ground-up and look for ways to add value and save energy with standard features. I'm especially proud to say that each new community we build just keeps getting better. One man's dream has made all the difference and we are proud to carry on that tradition at Gentry Homes."

It looks like #3 is going to win the swimming event."

They are riding very fast. And now racer #4 is passing racer #3. Yes, racer #4 is now in front and is riding very fast."

"We're waiting at the finish line to see who wins. Here comes runner #2, 3, and 4. It's very close. I can't see who is ahead. It looks like runner #2 is in front. Oh, but now runner #3 is passing runner #2. Runner #3 is running very fast and now he's crossing the finish line. Runner #3 is the winner of the triathlon."

Tufts University 1+4 Bridge Service-Year Program
Redefiningand democratizingthe bridge year
An innovative new program at Tufts combines the transformational experience of a year spent in public service with the universitys commitment to educate global citizens.
Take the well-known benefits of a bridge year between high school and collegeimproved academic achievement and increased motivation and maturity. Add Tufts dedication to service and equal access to education. The result: a visionary 1+4 program that enables incoming Tufts students to engage in an academic year of full-time national or international serviceand to extend the lessons and growth of that transformative year throughout their undergraduate experience.
Diverse fellows, global impact
The 1+4 program builds directly on Tufts core values, reinforcing longstanding commitments to active citizenship, national and global impact, and access to education.
- Students who have been admitted to Tufts University are eligible to apply to the inaugural 1+4 program, which expects to admit up to 50 program fellows for the 2015-2016 academic year.
- Tufts is committed to broadening the transformative potential of the bridge-year experience beyond the affluent segment of the population that has typically taken advantage of gap-year opportunities. The university has promised to provide necessary funding for any student admitted to the 1+4 program who would not otherwise be able to participate.
- 1+4 fellows gain direct experience with innovative approaches to local and global challengesincluding social entrepreneurshipthat will strengthen their academic and co-curricular experiences at Tufts.
- The Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service leads the program, drawing on its expertise as a national leader in civic education and in preparing Tufts students for lifelong civic engagement.
Transformational education, meaningful service
The Tufts 1+4 program provides participants with the unique chance to immerse themselves in new communities and cultures, deepening their understanding of social problems, while staying connected to Tufts through innovative programming and digital learning technologies.
- 1+4 fellows will develop problem-solving and real-world leadership skills.
- Hands-on experiences will help participants shape their focus for future academic study and career exploration.
- Participants will benefit from a cohort dedicated to service in the U.S. and around the globe. Communities will benefit from Tufts 1+4 program in significant, tangible ways. Examples of likely national and international service by 1+4 fellows include:
- Mentoring and tutoring at-risk children in urban schools in the U.S. with high dropout rates
- Helping women in rural communities in developing countries apply for microloans to start small businesses
- Working to help rebuild communities in the Philippines devastated by floods
Leading the way: A new vision of service
The Tufts 1+4 program will partner with established service organizations to provide fellows with rewarding national and international service opportunities. The programs focus on a structured academic year of full-time service, along with the universitys commitment to expanding access to the bridge-year experience, changes both the perception and the reality of the traditional gap year.
- An intensive selection process and closely monitored partnerships ensure program quality.
- All collaborating programs will provide training and support to participants under Tufts guidance and ensure that there are substantial benefits to participants as well as to host communities.
- The 1+4 program answers a call to action on a national level to develop a tradition of service among young adults.
The 1+4 difference
- Tufts 1+4 program affords participants transformational experiences during their year of sustained service and during the full length of their undergraduate programs.
- Tufts commitment to providing funding to students who otherwise could not afford the expense of a bridge year distinguishes the 1+4 program from other bridge-year programs.
- Unlike many gap-year programs, Tufts 1+4 program creates opportunities for both national and international service.
- 1+4 fellows receive intensive on-campus training in civic and leadership skills prior to departure.
- Partnerships with collaborating organizations are carefully monitored to ensure that 1+4 fellows are matched with high-quality service opportunities.
- The 1+4 program is thoughtfully integrated into students experiences back on campus, extending its transformative potential across the university.
Hands-on learning in Ecuador and the Bronx
At the beginning of what could have been her first year at Tufts, instead of learning her way around campus, Lydia Collins, A17, was learning to navigate the streets and byways of Ibarra, a mountain town in northern Ecuador. During her bridge year with Global Citizen Year, Collins assisted a grassroots microfinance effort begun by local women and opened an after-school center.
Phillip Ellis, A16, also took a bridge year between high school and college, working with youth in the South Bronx through the City Year program. Spending a year in service between high school and college not only allows you to find yourself, Ellis says, it also allows you the rare opportunity to develop yourself as a leader.
These students offer a snapshot of the kind of experiences the Tufts 1+4 program will bring to up to 50 participants beginning in 2015. Program fellows will develop their abilities and passions in ways that will strengthen their studies and experiences at Tufts, as well as their personal and professional trajectories, says Provost David R. Harris. They will contribute in significant ways to solving pressing social problems while making discoveries about themselves and diverse societies.
Lydia Collins, now learning her way around Somerville, agrees. Collins, who grew up in Evanston, Ill., says that her service year in Ecuador motivated me to do better than if I had not taken time off and been pushed so far out of my comfort zone. She says, I have so much context for my studies now.
The greatest benefit of Elenas gap year was that she was out of her comfort zone 80 percent of the time. She picked up two languages in six months and made friends from all over the world. It built her confidence and helped her clarify what shes interested in studying at Tufts.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The invites look amazing. I ended up spending a little extra for the double thick paper stock and am so happy I did. I was so pleased when everything arrived. My only complaint is with the envelopes. WPD can't print your return address on the colored envelopes so I has to go with white. They look ok but don't really match the quality of the actual invites."
"I am so happy with the way these turned out! We loved them so much we got the RSVP's and the thank you cards to match. We got them in the Sea Glass color which was perfect for our "Mint Theame""
"I was searching all over the internet for invitation designs and I couldn't find any designs that I liked and everything was soooo expensive! Then I checked out Wedding Paper Divas and found a design I loved at an affordable price! I love that they offer envelopes along with your order, it just saved time of me having to shop for envelopes elsewhere and they had the antiqued gold that I wanted! The print quality was superior, the color turned out perfect and our JPEG image printed well and wasn't blurry. I definitely recommend Wedding Paper Divas for all of your paper needs!"
"I loved my invitations. They were exactly what I was looking for--simple, but lovely. I definitely recommend getting the pearl white shimmer for some added elegance. The costumer service was great and gave me exactly what I was looking for."
"What I enjoy about this card is also what I'm not sure I like. This card is having a bit of an identity crisis, particularly with the floral pattern on the bottom. I love the strips and the geometric organization, but the amorphous appearance of the circle surrounding the monogram is incongruous with the organization of the card. I love the use of different fonts in this sample! I don't think this card is for me for the reasons mentioned, but I do like it quite a bit!"

The decision to bring a cleaning service into your home should not be made lightly. It's not that you wouldn't like extra help around the house, but before investing in a product or service you want to make sure you're getting the best bang for your buck. And not all apartment cleaning services are created equal. How do you know which apartment cleaning company is right for you? Start by asking yourself the following the questions:
• What is the quality of service? Choose apartment cleaning services that offer consistent and reliable service, guaranteed every time. The best way to get reliable information about a cleaning service's quality is through a referral. Look to online reviews and/or friends and family for confirmation of a company's quality.
• Can you trust the apartment cleaning crews you let into your home? Look for a national company that is insured and bonded. You'll have peace of mind knowing that your home is in good hands and should there ever be a problem, you can count on a solution.
• How safe are the cleaning products? Some apartment cleaning services state they use safe chemicals or green products, but make sure you investigate their claims. Your home environment is where you spend a great deal of time and it's important that the air you are breathing is clean and safe. Look for cleaning companies that rely on chemical-free solutions, microfiber cleaning cloths and HEPA 4-level filtration vacuums.
You work hard during the week and weekends are your time to let loose, relax and enjoy yourself…and take care of the laundry, grocery shopping and the cleaning. If that sounds like an overwhelming weekend you're not alone! Like you, many apartment dwellers lead busy lifestyles. And you like it that way! There are only so many hours in the day and you want to do it all. Here's where Maid Brigade can help! With an apartment cleaning service you can have the flexibility you need to live the lifestyle you want. Rather than spending your Saturday dusting and vacuuming you can be out shopping, mountain biking or just spending time with your friends. You'll also have peace of mind knowing that the quality of cleaning is guaranteed. When you come home from your Saturday of adventures you'll find a clean and healthy environment awaiting you. Let an apartment cleaning service take care of the dirty work so you can take advantage of your hard-earned time off!
