Assessments of Cambridge University Hearth Tax
Analysis of Cambridge Borough Hearth Tax
Cambridge Borough: Grand Totals
The Hearth Tax was granted to the Crown as a
perpetual revenue in 1662, and abolished in 1689; (fn. 1)
it was collected half-yearly from Michaelmas 1662
to Lady Day 1689, but assessments from the local
areas of administration were only returnable to
Quarter Sessions and the Exchequer during the
periods Michaelmas 1662 to Lady Day 1666 and
Michaelmas 1669 to Lady Day 1674. (fn. 2) It is only for
these two periods that any Cambridgeshire records
of the tax are preserved in the Public Record Office.
Broadly the tax consisted of a half-yearly payment
of 1s. for each hearth in the occupation of every person worth more than 20s. yearly who was not a local
(church and poor) ratepayer. The Hearth Tax
assessments consist of lists of persons with the
number of hearths in their occupation; in all assessments most entries represent separate houses or
dwelling places and almost all entries represent
separate households. The tax had a far wider incidence than any permanent direct tax previously
imposed or to be imposed until the 19th century;
because of this, the lists, when analysed, provide
useful information, not obtainable from other contemporary sources, about the size, character, and
importance of places. It must, however, be emphasized that the entries analysed are but entries in a
tax assessment of the responsible heads of households or families, or of house owners, with hearths
in their occupation. Statistics based on these entries
cannot be translated automatically into population
statistics and it is unsafe to try to do so.
The roll for Michaelmas 1662 (fn. 3) was the first
assessment of the tax; it was prepared rapidly in the
summer of 1662 by parish officials and constables,
enrolled by the Clerk of the Peace and certified by
the Justices at General Quarter Sessions on 17 July
1662. Except for the Colleges at Cambridge and Ely
each entry professes to represent a 'house'. For the
colleges the phrase 'several lodgings and chambers'
replaces 'house'. The assessment was intended simply to list those legally bound to pay; though an
unknown number of persons recorded in it was subsequently granted certificates. In general it includes
fewer names than any of the other assessments but
it provides the best means of comparing places in
one county with those in another, since more details
of the assessments for Michaelmas 1662 are preserved than of those of any one of later date.
The roll for Michaelmas 1664 (fn. 4) is a revision of the
1662 assessment made, in accordance with official instructions, by the under-officers of the receiver, Captain Robert Hill, and certified by the Justices at General
Quarter Sessions on 11 January 1666. It has been used
only for the University because of the difficulty of
analysing concisely a great mass of revisionary matter.
The paper books for Lady Day 1666 (fn. 5) were prepared by the under-officers of the sub-farmer for
Cambridgeshire, George Wilmot, after the tax had
been collected; they were submitted directly to the
Exchequer, without enrolment or certification by the
justices of the peace, at some time before his account
was taken on 1 December 1671. They list persons
under the headings of 'Paid' and 'Unpaid', giving
simply names and number of hearths; they do not
indicate whether any of those who did not pay were
legally entitled to exemption, so it is likely that all
those included were considered by the compilers to
be chargeable.
The roll for Lady Day 1674 (fn. 6) consists of lists made
by the under-officers of the receiver, with the assistance of the parish officials, enrolled by the Clerk of
the Peace and certified by the Justices at General
Quarter Sessions on 8 October 1674. The lists are
divided into taxpayers and those legally exempt by
certificate; no details are given of paupers, for they
did not require a certificate to secure exemption.
Among the taxpayers the owners of empty houses
and the occupiers of houses recently built or with
recently added hearths are distinguished, while there
is one Cambridge entry where payment is said to be
in arrear without any cause being assigned. Such
hearths are entered to the left of the perpendicular
line in the lists of taxpayers (normal hearths being
entered to the right of that line), but are nevertheless
included in the total of taxpaying hearths.
For the University an analysis is unnecessary.
The details supplied are all those given in the assessments, the Colleges being given their 17th century
titles and arranged in their order of seniority. For
the Borough assessments of Michaelmas 1662, Lady
Day 1666 and Lady Day 1674 are analysed on the
same principle. Against each place is given, in separate columns, the total number of persons recorded as
occupiers of from one to fourteen hearths, while a
further column gives the number of occupiers of
houses with fifteen or more hearths; final columns
give the total number of entries and hearths in each
line. For 1662 only one line is needed for each place.
For 1666 three lines are needed: for those recorded
as having paid, for those unpaid, and for the total of
those two categories. For 1674 three lines are also
needed: for the taxpayers, for the exempt, and for
the total of those two categories. Entries of taxpayers
who owned empty houses or newly built hearths are
indicated in footnotes. The parishes are listed in
different orders in the three assessments and have
here been arranged in alphabetical order. Attention
is drawn in the notes to entries which plainly do
not represent households or houses where persons
normally lived; and to differences, commonest in
1674, between the total number of hearths in the
recorded entries and the total given in the document.
A summary enables the grand totals for the Borough
as a whole to be readily compared.

November 27, 2014
February 21, 2007
Right now, a flight from New York to Los Angeles takes about five hours, but a group of engineering students involved in the Hy-V project at the University of Virginia are working on an engine that could cut that flight time to just 40 minutes.
"That's five times the speed of sound, so that's really fast. In fact, that's twice the speed of a bullet," Project Director, Professor Christopher Goyne explained.
It is really fast, but possible with a scramjet engine.
A scramjet engine is better than the engines before it, because it is leaner and lighter, making it cheaper and faster.
"Unlike a jet engine, there are no moving parts, so it is much more efficient at high speeds," explained Goyne. "And it is better than a commercial rocket engine because they don't have to carry an oxidizer on board."
The engine technology is being tested now using a one of a kind wind tunnel found at UVa, which simulates scramjet flying.
This tunnel is unique because it is the only one in the world that works like a giant hair dryer, using electricity to heat up air, which promises the most accurate data.
This data is then turned over to NASA.
"We have a close working relationship with them (NASA), where they will ask us for certain types of data and then we will go ahead and do the experiment and then share that data with them," Goyne said.
NASA then compares that data to its computer simulations and uses the results to improve their scramjet designs.
The final product will be tested with a flight in 2009 off Virginia's Eastern shore.
If all goes well, in less than 10 years, scramjets will be a reality.
"That will probably be the first application, a high speed missile, for military applications. And then further on there will be scramjets developed for civilian purposes and for flying into space."
Meaning, you could get from here, to the other side of the country in less than an hour.
If you want to find out more about the Hy-V program, there is an open house at UVa's School of Engineering and Applied Science Saturday, February 24th from 9am to 3pm.

A vibrant Asian eatery, Aka Japanese Restaurant serves up fresh cuisine via tableside Teppanyaki grilling, sushi rolls, and more. The family-friendly establishment provides a lunch menu with plentiful bento-box options ($8.95–$12.95), each of which includes miso soup, rice, salad, four California rolls, two crab rangoons, and your choice of an entree such as Japanese-style steak, chicken, shrimp tempura, vegetable tempura, or sashimi. The hibachi dinner menu boasts entrees prepared in front of diners at the Teppanyaki grill, such as the chicken teriyaki served with vegetables, rice, and soup or salad ($12.95), and the sushi bar keep meals deliciously raw with various sushi and rolls, such as the fish lover's volcano roll—whose California roll foundation is topped with baked scallop, shrimp, and salmon ($8.95)—or the spicy-crab-filled black-dragon roll, a fire-breathing wrap of cucumber, boiled shrimp, eel, avocado, and special sauces ($13).
SushiBar isn't easily defined. The pan-Asian eatery draws inspiration from traditional Asian culinary techniques and modern methods. This eclectic acumen extends to the space itself, which transforms into a pleasant brunch site on Sunday afternoons—just a few hours after it is a DJ-driven, dance-centric chess club. Chefs assemble more than 60 sushi rolls—incorporating everything from blackened tuna and jalapeño to spicy crab and bell pepper—but they also introduce Pacific Rim flavors into familiar Western dishes. Beyond the brunch selection's hash of guillotine-sliced Chinese sausage and shiitake mushrooms, the regular menu features pork-belly tacos with kimchi and sliders with poached salmon and puréed avocado.
Shogun Restaurant Japanese Steak House's culinary artists tightly wrap sushi rolls at a glass-front sushi bar and flip and fry meat, fish, and veggies at tableside hibachi grills. A fleet of specialty rolls includes the Sky Diver roll with soft-shell crab and eel and the Shaggy Dog roll, layered with shrimp tempura and crab. Shogun's chefs can also roll single-fish classics such as tuna, salmon, and yellowtail—the fish least likely to clash with a yellow plate or an outfit made of Post-it notes.

Creative Approach Extracts Late-Round TalentPosted by on April 25, 2010 – 11:24 am
Much of the criticism for several of the Vikings late-round picks on Saturday were rooted in the fact that readers believed the Vikings didn't truly take the best players available at the time of picks. Some wondered why the Vikings took QB Joe Webb when the more-touted Tony Pikes and Zac Robinson's of the world were still available. I even saw another comment criticizing the Vikings for selecting Ryan D'Imperio because he wasn't one of the top 63 rated LBs in the country.
While the dialogue and feedback is appreciated, the criticism in this case – and in many others after the draft – is a bit unwarranted. Fans often times react emotionally – which is what fans should do – and sometimes it disallows them to take a global perspective of a draft class.
The Vikings used a creative approach in selecting their late-round picks on Saturday, and both D'Imperio and Webb are actually great examples of this approach.

One bowl and you're hooked! I've been known to assemble this dish the night before and stick the crock in the fridge overnight. It is great to pull out the crock before work in the morning and turn on the pot. This is a fabulous Chili! It also happens to be a much healthier option without sacrificing the flavors like some revamped recipes. We especially love the contrasting textures of the ground beef and cubed stew meat.

Berbatov doesn't want step down
Dimitar Berbatov has claimed that moving away from Manchester United would be a step down.
Even Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted he would not have been surprised if Berbatov had wanted to leave United after not even making the bench for their Champions League final loss to Barcelona. Instead, the 30-year-old is eager to prove he is worthy of a place in Ferguson's plans.
"Smaller clubs might be able to match Manchester United with the way they play, with their organisation, everything. But Manchester United are at the top," he told Press Association Sport.

I'm going to assume you're a California resident.
Everyone I know who has emmigrated from there says the state is an overhyped crapshoot, I live in Minnesota and I frankly love it here. Granted this is just ancedotal evidence, but why would I want to move to a state on the verge of bankruptcy with a C bond rating with 10% unemployment and hundreds of thousands of people leaving every year? The climate might be a plus, then again they say the same about Greece don't they? Good luck with the feds bailing you out, it's not like they're in much better shape. At some point when you have more consumers than producers the ponzi scheme comes apart and us millenials won't feel inclined to pay the six-figure pensions anymore.
Hey medicine got some news for ya buddy. Unless you happen to be close buddies with the federal bankruptcy court or possess some clairvoyance on the topic - the issue over whether Calpers is going to get stiffed or not in Stockton and San Bernardino is being litigated so we'll all just have to wait and see how this turns out. You appear to be confused between "facts" and opinion. Got some more news for ya. CA could be the largest economy in the world but the debt and deficits cannot be wished away. You are implying that the size of the economy equates to available money. Here is some Econ 101 for ya - it does not. CA is already a high tax state, so increasing further the taxes is likely not going to improve things. The size of CA GDP is not static and written in stone. It does and will react to the tax and political situation in CA. Also CA GDP ain't gonna save Stockton or San Bernardino's boat unless you are proposing that the employees/retirees of these 2 cities go after the state should they get stiffed.
Thanks guest-ljmsjwo,
It seem that Medecine4theDead could usefully take a course in anger management also. He (it has to be a he!) has effectively insulted the majority of the other commentators, for no useful purpose.
isn't there is what they call "impossibility of performance" in which one party is excused of its obligations?
doesn't bankrupt city qualify for that?
You clearly haven't thought about the judge/public worker who will hear the case? Why do you think CalPERS files suit so quickly? Duh. California has the seventh largest economy in the world, yet somehow you are convinced there isn't any money? Psst, I have a statue for sale. And if California is so horrible, then why does everyone want to live and work there? No one lives in North Dakota for a reason.
While that may seem like a good idea in theory, one has to take into account the fact that what you propose will lead to a lawsuit and that the judge hearing the case is a CalPERS pensioner too.
Also, it wasn't actually pensioners who caused the problem in the first place, it was the banking and real estate sectors who grew fat on a bubble. You, like most ignorant backstabbers, want to make those who aren't responsible for the economic situation to pay for it. Luckily, Californians are smarter than you.
The best solution would be to make politicians personally responsible for the promises they make.
Your comments denote a lack of personal responsibility in that you made decisions about your career that you were fully aware and now wish to socialize those decisions onto public workers as though they should be responsible for your behavior and not you.
California has the seventh largest economy in the world. They will recover, it will just take a little time.
It is funny to see the Economist once again blaming unions without evidence. In a previous article, they complain about the decline of higher education and should have used their writers as examples.
There are several problems with the article that are factually absent. CalPERS is a non-profit government institution and under bankruptcy debts to non-profits cannot be discharged in the same manner as debts to for-profits. Please correct me if I am wrong. And if this is true, this article is a complete waste of space.
I think it's been obvious to those with eyes and a brain for quite a while that sooner or later this country may be defined not so much by R vs. D but young vs. old...times are changing, and the elderly left alive are going to have to live in the now at some point, and the now is bankrupt from top to bottom. With ever increasing energy costs (irrespective of increasing volumes), there's simply less wealth per capita, and that's that. Life in the real world is a zero-sum game for the foreseeable future. Sucks.
Just like a Mission Accomplished right winger to think they already won.
Well, when you make a promise and then break it while blaming the person you lied to, that makes you a backstabbing liar. The truth is the truth man, don't hate the messenger.
I don't really care what the discount rate is. None of that proves anything because as you say, you are cherry picking this recession to take the opportunity to backstab people. Kicking people down because it is opportunistic is a bit psychopathic to say the least.
Nobody kicked you idiots when you lost two wars and sank the economy now did they?
Both are non-profit, which is how they are similar because apparently connecting dots is something you are incapable of doing. You clearly are too stupid to understand that it is a loan. When public employees are paid their pension is called "deferred compensation" meaning the employees is letting the local government pay them later instead of now in the form of a pension, so it is in fact a loan in exchange for work performed now. The work has been performed but the payment has not been made so it is in fact a loan. Maybe instead of learning about apples and oranges, you should try to read to law if it isn't too much for your pea brain.
M4D - Seems your only real argument is to fire personal attacks at me and all the others you respond to. When you really have something to say, then I'll listen.
You are a child.
Oh, we're talking about FEDERAL student loans now, and equating them to a pension agreement? Did San Bernardino BORROW money from CalPERS, was it a loan? Why do you lump the two together? Do you even understand how CalPERS administrates the payment obligations they expect from CA municipalities? It isn't a loan, bub, and CalPERS can segregate the pool of employee benefits specific to a municipality if said municipality stops making payments under the contract! Contracts can be voided in bankruptcy, skippy! Stop mixing apples and oranges, hahahaha. Or continue, I am amused by your misrepresentations.
Yes, "alot"[SIC] of Californians are as dumb as you.
It is not nearly as big as the pile of crap you and the rest of the bigots spout minus facts and evidence. You are so ignorant you can't even provide a single mathematical fact to prove you're correct. Instead you just spout some stupid conspiracy theory crap and imagine it is true.
The law on this is clearly written and has been practiced for some time. But you are correct, a judge determines these cases. However, as a judge pointed out to me when I was young, a debt is a debt. So, if you are a backstabbing liar, I guess reneging on a promise is ok and not a lie.
Since I am not the one making the bigoted assertions, I don't have to prove anything. Try learning some science before you run your mouth.
The only person foaming at the mouth is you and the rest of the ignorant right wing haters who blame everyone else for their incompetent decisions. It hasn't been challenged because you can't discharge debt to a government agency that is also a non-profit otherwise criminals could discharge fines and restitution, so the city is going to waste more tax payer dollars fighting a losing cause because you morons insist on stabbing people in the back because we are in a recession that won't last forever. Yes, that is right, you are the tax dollar waster you claim to hate. Nice going comrade Stalin.

Veteran alternative rock band O.A.R. has come full circle with its latest album.
Ticket Information
Ace Frehley's "crazy year" started with getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member of KISS, continued with the release of his biggest solo album of his career and is touring for the first time since 2011.
WHO IS HE: George Dalaras is a Greek singer who has maintained a successful international career since the late 1960s. The 65-year old has sold more than 150 million albums and even had the opportunity to sing for Nelson Mandela on his birthday. His hit songs include "You Deserved a Better Love," "My Pleasure, The Pain," "Night," "Agrigento" and "One Night in Leverkusen."
Due to a polyp recently discovered on the throat of '80s pop icon Boy George, the group Culture Club has just announced that they are cancelling their tours in both the United States and United Kingdom.
Allen Edwards is creating a "Home for the Holidays" at Resorts Casino Hotel. The vocalist and entertainer is in the midst of an extended engagement that runs through Dec. 10 at the Screening Room.
WHO ARE THEY: Holiday Extravaganza is a group of two female singers and 10 dancers in holiday-themed costumes who perform all the favorites of the yuletide season. Music, dance and merriment all play a part in this show that is suitable for all ages. Holiday Extravaganza has been a favorite at Tropicana Casino and Resort for many years.
Rock band Linkin Park has announced that they are bringing "The Hunting Party Tour" to Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall Friday, January 23. Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Friday, November 7. Special guests for the tour include the bands Rise Against and Of Mice & Men.
WHO IS HE: Allen Edwards began singing in public at age 6 at church, and by the time he was in college at Purdue University was performing regularly in clubs and restaurants throughout northwest Indiana. After graduating, Edwards maintained dual careers as a singer and policemen, eventually moving to Houston, where he scored local hits with the songs "Walk Out Backward" and "Houston Just Ain't Big Enough." The success of the song "Could We Please Stay in Love for a While" led to an engagement in Branson, Mo., where Edwards wound up being a hit. He was able to open at the Roy Clark Celebrity Theater and a year later was opening his own breakfast show at a local hotel.
WHO ARE THEY: Savage Men is a male revue that has been featured on "So You Think You Can Dance," "America's Got Talent," "Entertainment Tonight," "The Today Show," "Mob Wives" and "Jerseylicious." The show features male model dancers as well as male ensemble dancers.
This will certainly be music to the ears for all you Fleetwood Mac fans out there.
1 Be thankful for The Quarter at the Tropicana. Anthem Nightclub claims to host the biggest Thanksgiving Eve party in A.C. each year, and with four DJs — A Drop, Hooks, Sat One, B Lee — it sure seems like they do. Doors open at 9 p.m. and drink specials include $5 cocktails, $3 Bud Light drafts, $4 Coors Light and Miller Lite bottles and $5 cocktails and Fireball shots. Stoli bottles — Stoli, Stoli O, Blueberry, Vanilla, Citron and Raz — are $150. Cuba Libre will have merengue, salsa and bachata music spun by DJs Cawita, Bebo, Sammy, 7 AM and Party Boy. Included in the night's festivities is a single release party for Jay Y Cess, while Manny Papeleta acts as host for the evening. Ri-Ra Irish Pub will have a DJ starting at 10 p.m. with drink specials of $3 domestic bottles, $4 drafts — including many craft beers — and $4 well drinks. At Providence, ladies get in free before midnight with an RSVP, and DJ Prime will spin tunes.
It seems like every local bar nowadays is desperately trying to keep up with the "craft beer" trend, and while it's nice to see some variety in the taps, it also seems that most of these places don't have a clue when it comes to actual beer knowledge. In truth, beer is a complex topic with as many nuances as fine wine. Your average TGI Friday's bartender with his collection of unfunny pins forced upon his shirt would be in way over his head. That is why true South Jersey beer geeks head to Goodnight Irene's when it's time for a pint.
Taryn Manning, best known for her role as the toothless Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett on the Netflix hit series "Orange is the New Black," hosted a party at The Pool After Dark at Harrah's Resort last weekend. The actress, who is also a vocalist and part of the Boomkat electronic duo, performed her solo material.
1 It's a flashback to the Prohibition era. The guys from Perfectly Innocent Amusement Co. want to create a "cocktail culture." They, along with The Iron Room, are the only ones in A.C. that focus on craft cocktails outside of a casino. The vibe they are going for at this speakeasy-style bar harkens back to the A.C. of the 1920s. And thanks to "Boardwalk Empire," places such as this are back en vogue. The name derives from that speakeasy feel, where everything seemed "perfectly innocent" just inside the door, but things got wild behind the walls. Their highly skilled mixologists were carefully selected as the owners consider them ambassadors to the city. They are all very service oriented and aim to please. They also enjoy introducing new items to customers. For instance, if a customer orders a cosmopolitan, they won't automatically poo-poo it. Instead, they'll ask the customer what it is about a cosmo that they like: Is it the vodka? The cranberry juice? Whatever it is, they'll create a concoction for the customer that they never had before, but certainly will order again.
In a world where concepts such as "vintage" and "distressed" are reason to pay top dollar for everything from jeans to furniture, one thing remains clear: Nothing beats the refined comfort that comes with age. That "broken-in" feeling only brought about by time itself is so desirable that folks are willing to shell out big bucks, even for faux versions. But even the most crafty of Disney Imagineers could not recreate the palpable sense of history one feels upon entering The Smithville Inn.
Walk into Harrah's Resort and prepare to be dazzled by its stunning new lobby bar, which is certainly above and beyond your typical resort lobby bar.
1 Street kid does good. Steve Martorano was raised on the streets of South Philly in a family with mob connections. He was able to avoid that lifestyle when he started DJing at area clubs, as well as diving into the kitchen, where he learned to perfect his famous gravy — don't dare call it "sauce" — and meatballs which many, including Tony Bennett, Tom Cruise, Joe Montana, Shaquille O' Neal and Al Pacino — not to mention Gourmet Magazine — consider the best in the world. Martorano claims his food is what's famous, not him. And he absolutely refuses to sacrifice quality or change the integrity of his food. So if you have a special request, fugheddaboudit.
When done right, a comfy local bar with great food and reasonably priced drinks is nearly impossible to beat, regardless of how many gimmicks a place may throw at you. Simplicity is divine — and that is precisely what makes Doyle's Pour House in Barnegat Township such a home run.
1 You'll find unique concoctions. Guy Fieri and his people must have had a lot of fun coming up with their list of 10 signature cocktails. You'll find tasty and amusing drinks such as "Not Your 8th Grade Punch," which is a twist on an island-style rum runner with Captain Morgan and Kraken rums and peach tea for $11, or $7 more gets you the "go big" version, as they like to say. Then there's the "Cadillac Margarita" with El Jimador tequila, Cointreau and Grand Marnier ($12). Or try the "Oriental Expression" that's comprised of Hendrick's gin, yuzu syrup and sparkling sake ($14).
With 40 years of history behind it, Egg Harbor Township's Library III is the type of place that oozes welcoming charm. Eschewing trendiness in favor of friendliness, this South Jersey institution attracts everyone from locals to those willing to drive far and wide for a top-notch steak and beer. Both can be found right here.
If you are gay, or want to celebrate the LGBT community, there will be no better place to be on Sunday, Oct. 26, than Boogie Nights as it hosts The Big Gay Ball, the first of a monthly event that will occur the last Sunday of each month.
1 Ducktown did Happy Hour before anyone. According to Ducktown Tavern's owner John Exadaktilos, no other entity in A.C. had happy hour until Ducktown announced in 2005 they were having it.
When it comes to local watering holes, simplicity beats flashiness every time. Few things provide a more deeply satisfying experience than the combination of a reasonably priced beer in one hand, a 35-cent chicken wing in the other and a nail-biter of a football game on the TV. Caffrey's Tavern in Forked River nails this classic American tradition from top to bottom.
1 The Quarter is getting pump(kin)ed up. Many of your favorite bars and restaurants at The Quarter at Tropicana Casino and Resort are getting pumped for fall with a wide range of pumpkin and seasonal beers.
In an area where every bar owner is bending over backwards attempting to cater to every whim of the summer tourist, it's nice to know that there are still places that haven't forgotten about the locals.
1. Learn some American history from Tun Tavern. The original Tun Tavern dates back to pre-Revolutionary War days.
Even before he graduated high school, Matt Chrystal knew he was a fan of the face fuzz.
Henny Youngman once claimed that he tried to be an atheist, but gave it up because they have no holidays.
If you like brown spirits, particularly whiskey, there's no better place to be this weekend than Golden Nugget Atlantic City when the American Craft Whiskey Revival returns for a second year on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 21 and 22, to celebrate the growing popularity of American bourbons and whiskeys.
Every year, Longport Media hosts a multi-day live broadcast marathon and donation drive at Chickie's & Pete's in Egg Harbor Township, and this year the drive will be as important as ever.
Grab your "gentleman caller" and head to the Ocean County College Repertory Theatre Company's production of the Tennessee Williams' classic "The Glass Menagerie," which will show at the Black Box Theatre in the Grunin Center on the main campus from Thursday, Nov. 13, through Nov. 22.
Once again, Atlantic City is gearing up to kick it country.
Tuckers Tavern is a Long Beach Island institution, a place where locals have gathered for about 30 years to share fresh seafood, drink beers and wish that summer never ends. In fact, if you count its previous incarnations, the space Tuckers occupies has been a restaurant and gathering place for more than 50 years.
The best sushi in Atlantic City is back! Armiyanto "Harry" Setiyaki wowed sushi lovers for years with his creative yet traditional sushi skills at Oshi Sushi & Sake and then Scarduzio's Steak, Sushi & Lounge at the former Showboat Casino-Hotel.
Marie Nicole's Grill always raises the bar for fine, yet casual, dining in Wildwood Crest. And now that the tourists are gone, there is no better time to check out the intimate, classy space, particularly since it recently rolled out a very creative fall menu.
Gaspare Campisi grew up in the restaurant business, either helping in his father's Brooklyn pizza shop or working in his uncle's restaurant. So when the opportunity came about for him to move to South Jersey to open a place of his own, he took the chance.
When sales at her Mays Landing frozen yogurt shop Chillaxin started to wane, former casino cocktail waitress Rosita Nguyen decided to completely revamp her business plan and open an eatery that was closer to her heart. So Nguyen, of Vietnamese descent, opened Pho Life Vietnamese Noodle House in the same exact space in June.
Cuba Libre, Atlantic City's only destination for Cuban cuisine, celebrates 10 years inside The Quarter at the Tropicana Casino and Resort with a new menu and specials that you won't want to miss.
If you're looking for a gorgeous place to enjoy breakfast in Atlantic City, consider The Pool at Harrah's Resort, which just began serving breakfast in its tropical paradise under a dome 8 to 11 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Bob and Sharon Essl have big plans to celebrate their 43 years together in the restaurant business. And why not? There are not many restaurants that can lay claim to lasting that long and in the very same spot on the Black Horse Pike.
About six years ago, Michael Conway went through an "early midlife crisis." His mom, dad and best friend died, so he decided to pack his stuff and head to another country.
The business card for The Nizam's Indian Restaurant in Egg Harbor Township makes this bold statement: "Owned and operated by the most experienced and qualified professional in Indian cuisine in South New Jersey."
Do you like to eat big? Really big? With friends? And you love Italian food?
Atlantic City saw great new restaurants open all over town this year: Guy Fieri's Chophouse and Buca di Beppo at Bally's Atlantic City; Wingcraft and Perfectly Innocent Amusement Company outside of casinos … just to name a few.
Since 1969, people living and visiting the Wildwoods have enjoyed the Chiarella family's food, whether it was the seafood and roast beef from their original Chiarella's menu or the old-school Italian dishes inspired by their heritage.

New Investment Law in Peru Undermines Rights of Indigenous Women›August 22, 2014 // By ECSP Staff
A new law in Peru encouraging investment in the country's extractive industries has reignited debate on the lack of power indigenous women have in the mostly rural societies where they often live. The International Indigenous Women's Forum, which drew more than 60 native women from across the world to Peru last month, highlighted this important issue.
Book Review: 'Oil Sparks in the Amazon: Local Conflicts, Indigenous Populations, and Natural Resources'›August 18, 2014 // By Roger-Mark De Souza
Since the early 1990s, the rising price of crude oil and other key natural resources – and the resulting drive by governments and private companies to extract those resources – has led to sharp conflicts in Latin America. At the core of these disputes is the clash between national economic interest and the rights of indigenous people inhabiting the land where most natural resources are located.
Getting Specific About Climate Conflict: Case Studies Show Need for Participatory Approaches to Adaptation›May 28, 2014 // By Moses Jackson
Will climate change cause conflict? That question, which has sparked heated debates in academia and the media, resists simple answers. But is climate change already contributing to conflict in some places? If so, how exactly? And more importantly, what should be done about it? These questions were the focus of a 2013 preliminary report produced for USAID by international development firm Tetra Tech ARD, which examines the climate-conflict nexus in Uganda, Ethiopia, and Peru.
What Can Demography Tell Us About the Advent of Democracy?›April 28, 2014 // By Elizabeth Leahy Madsen
Democracy is fickle. Many of the competing theories on the best ways to foment and consolidate plural, inclusive governance or predict its rise and fall focus on political and economic forces. Yet a small group of demographers have explored population age structure as a catalyst for and reflection of a host of changes in societies that can affect governance.

Analyst Urges Broader Look at Amazon Oil's Local Impacts›March 27, 2014 // By ECSP Staff
Increasingly disruptive protests are likely if oil, gas, and mining companies and national governments don't pay closer attention to indigenous populations' needs as Western Amazon basin resources are developed, an expert warned.

Peruvian Farmers Change Attitudes Toward Forest Protection›Beat on the Ground // July 23, 2013 // By ECSP Staff
The original version of this article, by Margarita Mora, appeared on Conservation International's Human Nature blog.
I first visited Peru's Alto Mayo Protected Forest in 2008. At the time, deforestation rates there were among the highest in the country. CI-Peru wanted to find a way to help communities and Peru's National Service of Natural Protected Areas (SERNANP) keep their trees standing.
Poor Quality of Care Chills Progress in Improving Safe Delivery for Mothers›Dot-Mom // From the Wilson Center // July 2, 2013 // By Jacob Glass
"Today we have a golden opportunity to use respectful maternal care to break new ground at the intersection of health and human rights," said Lynn Freedman, director of the Averting Maternal Death and Disability Program and professor of clinical population and family health at Columbia University, at the Wilson Center.
Measuring Community Resilience: Implications for Development Aid›Guest Contributor // Toward Resilience // May 28, 2013 // By Molly Jones
A staggering amount of development dollars – one in three, in fact – are lost due to natural disasters and crises. Certain communities are less affected than others by such disasters; they are more resilient. Knowing where vulnerability and strength exist and how to bolster them could help avoid these losses. Yet, today, very little data exists to help development practitioners understand which adaptive capacities are lagging in a given community.

About Nick & Sara Medina
My Husband and I live in Phoenix and love getting away to the white mountains. We enjoy skiing in the winter and the beautiful weather in the summer. We have condos and cabins listed on VRBO available in Pinetop Country Club and Torreon.
Nick & Sara Medina purchased this cabin in 2008
Why Nick & Sara Medina chose Show Low
The White Mountains is an ideal getaway spot because of all the lakes, mountains and outdoor activities. It has the ideal weather in the summer as is almost 20 degrees cooler than Phoenix. Winter offers skiing and great snow. Our family truly enjoys getting up there on weekends since it is only 3 hours from the Phoenix metro.
What makes this cabin unique
We decided to furnish our two cabins with brand new furniture, high quality linens and fully stocked kitchen. Our goal was to buy the same quality type items we would find in our own home and make the experience as enjoyable as possible for our guests.
Guestbook comments from the manager
Thank you! It was wonderful! Very beautiful and we definitely would stay in your cabin again. Such a beautiful area and having a white christmas was amazing ! Thank you again .

Judge: TorrentSpy must preserve data in RAM
A federal judge has upheld a magistrate's decision forcing TorrentSpy to enable server logging so the Motion Picture Association of America can obtain the IP addresses of those connecting to BitTorrent files via the service. There's one small hitch for the MPAA, though. TorrentSpy has decided to block access by US residents, ensuring that the MPAA will find little of interest in the log files and rendering the court's decision mootat least for this case.

BMW says 'i' aye to EV and hybrid car
BMW showed off the much-anticipated "i" sub-brand of battery-powered cars to the world yesterday. The two models, made from carbon fibre and aluminium, are set for a 2013 release. The company says more BMW i cars will follow. The BMW i3 - previously known as the Megacity Vehicle - is to be the group's first series produced car …

The Power of Porridge
You've probably heard before that breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it's vital for kick-starting your metabolism after your 'fast' through the night.
But with so many so-called 'danger foods' making us scared of eating salt, sugar and everything else under the sun, it's hard for the health-conscious Swimfitter to know what to eat in the morning to compliment their swimming lifestyle.
Nutrients And Energy
So what do we need in the morning? Essentially we need to replace everything we've lost overnight which is nutrients and energy.
But to stop our blood sugar levels from spiking, we also need something high in fibre which slows the release of energy and helps the body absorb more sugar rather than storing it as fat.
A great example of a high-fibre breakfast meal that ticks all these boxes is porridge.
Porridge Uncovered
One of the beauties of porridge is that it's simple but very effective! We know it's rich in fibre and the combination with complex carbohydrates and protein creates a slow release energy source that is perfect for exercise, training or competition later in the morning. You also feel fuller for longer and don't feel the need to snack.
We know from previous articles that the protein is also essential for a Swimfitter – the protein from the porridge oats helps improve immune function and stimulates muscle growth, helping those aching muscles repair themselves after a tiring session in the pool.
Porridge is also packed full of essential vitamins and minerals like zinc, iron, Vitamins B and E and insoluble fibre, which help maintain a healthy bowel.
Studies have also championed porridge in maintaining general good health – it can lower blood pressure, control blood glucose levels, and lower LDL cholesterol levels.
Give It A Go
Try this porridge recipe as an energetic and healthy alternative to your usual breakfast routine:
50g porridge (organic oats, avoiding pre-mixed varieties).
200ml water
A handful of blueberries or any other fruit (sweetness) or nuts (for protein and healthy mono-unsaturated fats)
Mix oats with water and heat in a saucepan until thickened. Add your fruit or nuts
(If you want to capture more vitamins, you can soak the oats overnight. You can also use milk, skimmed is best, in place of water.)
Do you have a particular porridge flavour you love? Or perhaps a breakfast routine that you live by?
Let us know in the comments section below or e-mail Ask An Expert if you have any questions.

My biggest inspiration in design is when form and function are harmonious. I love when something communicates to me directly and I understand the concept and execution almost immediately. When there's a special attention to detail it really sets it over the top. I strive to create effective design that shows my personal touch and hopefully clearly communicates the purpose and intention to the viewer while also being visually engaging. www.lannandesign.com

Bedell Cristin acts for Artex in insurance acquisition
Related fund data links
Bedell Cristin in Guernsey has acted for Artex Risk Solutions in its acquisition of Heritage Insurance Management, the specialist captive and insurance management arm of Guernsey-headquartered Heritage Group.
Artex Risk Solutions provides a range of captive insurance solutions and alternative risk financing options for clients based primarily in the US and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arthur J Gallagher & Co, one of the world's largest insurance brokerage and risk management services firms.
The deal will see Artex expand beyond North America for the first time, with the acquisition of a fully-established European-based captive management facility, which will trade as Artex International in due course.
The Bedell team was led by partners Mark Helyar and Kate Ovenden, assisted by Richard Sharp, Sukh Chana and Emma Corbin.
Helyar says: "We were delighted to be instructed by Artex in this matter and to be able to assist them with their expansion into the European market. This transaction represents a significant development for Guernsey's captive insurance sector."
