<p><em>Have your students ever asked who the state capital of Trenton is named for? That man, William Trent, built his country estate north of Philadelphia, in New Jersey, at the Falls of the Delaware River about 1719. It was a large, imposing brick structure, built in the newest fashion of the day. Nearby, there were numerous outbuildings as well as grist, saw, and fulling mills along the Assunpink Creek. In 1720 Trent laid out a settlement, which he incorporated and named “Trenton.” After changing hands numerous times, the Trent House opened as a museum in 1939. Today it is owned by the City of Trenton and operated by the Trent House Association. The William Trent House is a designated National Historic Landmark and is listed in both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Bring your classes to learn about colonial life, and challenge them to compare it to life as they know it today. This article includes references to the relevant New Jersey Curriculum Standards.</em></p>

Unlike the religious dominance of Puritans in New England and Anglicans in the South, the mid-Atlantic colonies of eighteenth-century America were covered with an assortment of northern European churches and sects. By the 1740s, an overflow of New England Puritans shared New York with an earlier immigrant population of Reformed Dutch and French Huguenots. In the Raritan valley of New Jersey, Scotch-Irish Presbyterians lived alongside enclaves of more Dutch, and coexisted with English Quakers, Swedish and German Lutherans, and a variety of sectarians along the lower Delaware River and in the city of Philadelphia. On the upper Delaware were further German settlements while along the western frontiers of Penn's colony additional Scotch-Irish Calvinists were to be found.

We report on the first isolation of dengue virus serotype 4 (DENV-4) in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in February, 2012. The cases were isolated in the city of Campo Grande, the state capital, and presented the classic signs and symptoms of dengue fever. DENV-4 was primarily identified through viral isolation in C6/36 clone lineage of Aedes albopictus cells; followed by indirect immunofluorescence, using type-specific monoclonal antibodies. The results were subsequently confirmed by Nested RT-PCR tests. The first description of the introduction of DENV-4 in a state whose population is susceptible to this serotype and the circulation of three other serotypes in the area is cause for concern due to the increased possibility of severe and lethal cases of the disease, and of huge epidemics.

Political Traditions

New Jersey is a fascinating state, and New Jersey politics is a fascinating business. The state is Newark, Camden, Jersey City, and aging urban areas typical of the northeast. New Jersey is also the Pinelands preserve, a fragile environmental area the size of Rhode Island protected by the state from indiscriminate development. New Jersey is the expansive beaches of the Jersey shore, the rugged beauty of the Delaware River Water Gap, and comfortable patrician estates whose owners continue to devote weekends to fox-hunting. New Jersey is valuable farmlands which still make New Jersey the Garden State, and it is the Hackensack Meadowlands, the Sports Complex and Atlantic City as well. New Jersey is a diverse state, and its political life reflects both that diversity as well as the state's changing political traditions and developing political institutions.

Since the industrial revolution of the 18th century, the modern economic system gradually matured and rapidly expanded in the world, especially the state capital investment relying on the railway, which drastically changed the urbanization process and city agglomeration pattern around the world. At the end of the 19th century, due to the important strategic value of the Far East, Russia raised state capital, built the Siberian Railway directly to Vladivostok, especially the C.E.R. across Northeast China, induced capital competition among China, Japan and Russia around the port and railway construction right and management right, formed the SMR system centered on Dalian, the C.E.R. system centered on Vladivostok, and the Chinese railway system centered on Huludao, laid the city structure of the “hub-railway network-hinterland” model centered on the port city in Northeast China, which promoted the development of commercial cities, hub cities and industrial and mining cities. Under the special tariff system, China, Japan and Russia relied on port-railway capital competition, forming the city development dynamic mechanism oriented by the export-oriented economy, that has the important theory value for how to effectively use the state capital advantage to promote the development of the macro-regional city system in the context of economic globalization.

This study investigates the consequence of urban sprawl on changing land use and building patterns in Akure and its adjoining communities. The study adopts Survey Research Design to investigate the upshot via structured questionnaire on sampled households in Akure region, which involved Akure municipal and eight adjoining settlements. The study also made use of interview, personal observation and photo-snaps to elucidate existing situation in the region. The average households in Akure were estimated at 95,232 and 14,794 in the eight adjoining communities. From this, a sample size of 1% was systematically selected; 952 in Akure municipal and 147 in the adjoining settlements. Findings show a regular massive flow of influx into the city due to unguided expansion which have serious sway in the determination of land use pattern in the city and its contiguous communities. This, in turn, has significant influence on variation in building patterns across the region. To mitigate this, the study advocates that concerned ministries should employ resourceful control measures over private and public land uses through effective zoning strategy. It also suggests the introduction of regional development programs in checking the rate of influx into Akure, being the state capital. Local government headquarters and other major towns in the region should be reinforced with functional basic facilities to curtail the excessive inflow of people to the state capital.

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa que vem sendo desenvolvida desde 1995 sobre a memória e as produções narrativas de migrantes oriundos do interior do Rio Grande do Norte, atualmente residindo na Zona Norte da capital do Estado, Natal. O texto apresenta inicialmente o processo de formação da Zona Norte e os fenômenos migratórios existentes na região, para em seguida analisar as histórias contadas pelos migrantes. Se o corpus narrativo tradicional tende a desaparecer no contexto urbano, novas temáticas surgem. Assim, por meio da análise das produções narrativas dos migrantes, é possível avaliar as transformações da cultura ‘tradicional’. O artigo procura mostrar que a importância dada às chamadas “histórias de antigamente” e as referências a essas narrativas encontradas no discurso dependem da situação das pessoas no novo local de vida. Abstract This article presents the results of a research that has been conducted since 1995 about memory and narrative production of migrants from the backlands of Rio Grande do Norte state now established in the state capital Natal, more specifically in the northern part of the city, the “Zona Norte”. The text initially presents the process of Zona Norte formation and the migratory phenomena of the region, before analysing stories told by the migrants. If the traditional narrative corpus tends to disappear in the urban context, on the other hand new themes emerge. Therefore, through analisys of the migrants narrative production it is possible to evaluate transformations of ‘traditional culture’. The article aims to show that the importance given to the so called “yesterday histories” (“histórias de antigamente”) and the references to these narratives depend of people’s situation in their new locality.

Ian Watson's article looks at two separate but interrelated subjects – the role of the arts in remedying urban dereliction, now a global phenomenon; and the development of one specific arts gathering in healing the larger wounds of Peruvian society after years of civil warfare and economic chaos. It was from the Peruvian city of Ayacucho, in the late sixteenth century, that the first noteworthy revolt against the Spanish Conquistadors was launched, by the legendary Inca leader Túpac Amaru. It was to this city that Mario Delgado, founder of the Lima-based group Cuatrotablas, invited the Third Theatre gathering, just two years after its inauguration from Eugenio Barba's initiative in 1976. The use of the city as a base for the most prominent of the guerrilla groups made a decennial return of the Third Theatre gathering impossible – and the reasons for holding the 1998 gathering in Ayacucho all the stronger, not least because of the choice of the city by the state-funded agency PromPeru as a focus for national cultural regeneration. Ian Watson, an Advisory Editor and regular contributor to NTQ who teaches at the Rutgers campus of the State University of New Jersey, knits together the threads of the story.

Ras a1 Khaimah is the most northerly of the seven states comprising the United Arab Emirates and its Ruler, H. H. Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qasimi, is keenly interested in the history of the state and its people. Survey carried out there jointly with Dr D. B. Doe in 1968 had focused attention on the site of JuIfar which lies just north of the present town of Ras a1 Khaimah (de Cardi, 1971, 230-2). Julfar was in existence in Abbasid times and its importance as an entrep6t during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-the Portuguese Period-is reflected by the quantity and variety of imported wares to be found among the ruins of the city. Most of the sites discovered during the survey dated from that period but a group of cairns near Ghalilah and some long gabled graves in the Shimal area to the north-east of the date-groves behind Ras a1 Khaimah (map, FIG. I) clearly represented a more distant past.
