Abel and Mary Nicholson House

The Abel and Mary Nicholson House is brick house built in 1722 in Elsinboro Township, New Jersey, United States. It is an excellent example of a Delaware Valley patterned brick building. The vitrified bricks form geometric designs and highlight the year of construction. The building has not been significantly altered since it was built and has been receiving grants to help preserve it. It was designated a National Historic Landmark for its architecture in 2000 History Built by Abel Nicholson, a prosperous farmer, whose father had been among the earliest Quaker settlers along Lower Alloways Creek in the late 17th century. When completed, it was at a scale and with a level of detail that made it a mansion in relation to other dwellings of the period in the area. It's believed that the new home was built to replace a smaller wood-framed home built just after his father arrived in the later 1690s or early 1700s near the Alloway Creek, a tributary of the Delaware River. The original building is a three bay, two-and-a-half story brick house, positioned on a high brick foundation with a gable roof, pierced by a brick chimney at both the east and west ends. Three walls of the structure are decorated above the basement level with a checkerboard pattern using vitrified brick, laid in Flemish bond. The fourth, east wall, displays English bond and the date 1722 in the gable. The 1722 date, centered in the gable above the diamond pattern, is made of vitrified headers and is seven courses high. Originally, the east wall was penetrated by two small windows on the southern side of the elevation, now closed up with brick, one on the second floor and one at the attic level. The house remained in the family after Abel died in 1752, when the house and property were inherited by his son, John. In 1852 the farm was inherited by William Nelson from his father Davis Nelson. It is William who is believed to have constructed the brick addition and placed the date stone marked "1859" in the west end gable. The 1859 addition was two floors and included two bedrooms on the second floor and an enlarged kitchen, a large bricked fireplace, and a storage cellar. A recent study of the house revealed clues about the original one-story wooden structure that previously abutted, and may have pre-dated, the 1722 dwelling, giving rise to speculation that the house was a three-room plan on the ground floor at the time of construction, implying that the hall, with its elaborate fireplace surround and other attributes, took on a more social or ceremonial function. Also found in the parlor is a writing closet, the strong evidence for which (a desk-like surface, bookshelves, windows to admit light, and ventilation grill) has been found in only two other examples in the Delaware Valley. Graeme Park near Horsham, PA, and the Pusey House near Avondale, PA, whose evidence is not as clearly defined as in the Nicholson example.

Point Pleasant–Byram Bridge

The Point Pleasant–Byram Bridge was a bridge that spanned the Delaware River between Point Pleasant, Bucks County, Pennsylvania and the Byram section of Kingwood, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. History and notable features This bridge was a four-span, steel structure that was built in 1903 after several previous predecessor bridges (built in 1855 as a wooden covered bridge and in 1892 as a first steel structure) were wiped away by weather-related incidents. Funded by a private company, it was a toll bridge until 1919, when the Pennsylvania–New Jersey Joint Bridge Commission bought it. One of the most modern on the river, the bridge was the first bought in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Flooding from Hurricane Connie and Hurricane Diane in 1955 wiped away the bridge once again, along with three others along the river. Unlike the Yardley–Wilburtha and Portland–Columbia Pedestrian Bridge, the Point Pleasant–Byram Bridge was never replaced and the piers remain in the Delaware River.

Kurt Barthel

Kurt Barthel (1884–1969) is the father of the modern United States nudist movement. Biography He began the American League for Physical Culture in 1929 with an ad, first in the leading German nudist magazines published in Berlin by Robert Laurer "Lichtland" (Light Land) and "Lachendes Leben" (Laughing Life), then later in a newspaper seeking like-minded folks. The first organized nudist outing was held on Labor Day 1929. There were seven people in attendance, three women and four men, all but one between the ages of 20 and 27. The first outing was held in the Hudson Highlands in upstate New York. The American League for Physical Culture was organized in the fall of 1929 and took part in the beginning of the American nudist movement. The members of the ALPC visited leased farms in Westchester County in the summer and participated in gymnastics in rented gymnasiums and pools in the city in winter. About 1930 three members stepped out of the ALPC and formed their own groups, one of whom formed the American Gymnosophical Association which shortly thereafter leased Rock Lodge Club in Stockholm, New Jersey. The American Sunbathing Association (ASA) — now called the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) — was an outgrowth or spin off from ALPC. Another who played a part in the United States nudist movement was Dr. Maurice Parmelee, who took part in the founding of the American Gymnosophical Association and published the 1927 book The New Gymnosophy in New York whose title was changed to Nudism In Modern Life in later editions. The first copies of the book were sold under the counter by a large reputable book seller in New York City. Sky Farm Barthel founded America's first official nudist camp in New Jersey, in May, 1932 when nudists and nudism were not accepted at all by the American public, during the Great Depression. Sky Farm continues to function as a member owned co-operative club. In a newspaper article it is stated that in 1933 the American League, having a post office box for a New York address, was buying a farm in New Jersey that had been visited and approved by the chief of police, but would not divulge its location and the American Gymnosophical Association, having an office in Manhattan, New York had leased land in the Catskills, New York and a 60-acre (240,000 m2) farm nearer to New York City. The American Gymnosophical Associates had substantial foundation at Rock Lodge. Rock Lodge Club continues to function as a member owned co-operative club.

New Jersey State Prison

Das New Jersey State Prison (ehemals Trenton State Prison) ist ein staatliches Gefängnis in Trenton, der Hauptstadt des US-Bundesstaats New Jersey. Am 7. August 2009 verbüßten 1916 Häftlinge ihre Strafe in dieser Haftanstalt. Die Anstalt ist in zwei verschiedene Sicherheitsbereiche unterteilt, wird aber in der Klassifikation des US-amerikanischen Gefängnissystems als Maximum Security eingestuft. Betrieben wird die Strafvollzugseinrichtung vom New Jersey Department of Corrections, der Strafvollzugsbehörde des Bundesstaats New Jersey. Die Bettwäsche- und Kleidungsausgabe innerhalb der Haftanstalt wird ebenfalls von einer bundesstaatlichen Behörde, dem Bureau of State Use Industries unterhalten. Ebenfalls in der Anstalt untergebracht waren alle zum Tode verurteilten Hinrichtungskandidaten des Bundesstaats. Am 13. Dezember 2007 stimmte das Abgeordnetenhaus von New Jersey für die Abschaffung der Todesstrafe, die bereits zuvor außer Kraft gesetzt worden war. Besonders bekannt wurde das Gefängnis im Jahr 1952, als im März, April und Oktober mehrere schwere Gefangenenrevolten in der Strafanstalt stattfanden. Zwar konnten alle erfolgreich niedergeschlagen werden, jedoch geriet in der Folge die Gefängnisverwaltung und die Anstalt selbst in die Kritik der Medien.

Bayonne Energy Center

Bayonne Energy Center is a natural gas power plant located on Constable Hook in Bayonne, New Jersey providing power to New York City. It was originally developed as a joint venture between Hess Corporation and ArcLight Capital Partners, and it is operated by EthosEnergy. The plant has a capacity of 644 megawatts and began operations in 2012. It is connected to a Consolidated Edison substation in Gowanus, Brooklyn, New York, by a 6.5-mile (10.5 km), 345-kilovolt underwater transmission line across the Upper New York Bay. This cable is the world's longest XLPE cable. The underwater portion of the cable is buried 15 feet (4.6 m) below the harbor floor. Permits for the project were submitted to the New York State Department of Public Service, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, the New York Department of State, and the New York Office of General Services. In 2014, Hess sold its share of the plant to ArcLight, which later transferred ownership to Macquarie Infrastructure Company. In 2018, the plant was purchased by a Morgan Stanley investment fund. An expansion, Bayonne Energy Center II, added 120 megawatts to the facility in 2018. Bayonne Energy Center II was one of three new natural gas plants built to meet regional electricity needs before the closure of the last reactor at the Indian Point Energy Center in 2021. The other two plants were the Cricket Valley Energy Center (1,100 MW) and the CPV Valley Energy Center (678 MW).

Essex Generating Station

The Essex Generating Station is a peaking power plant on the banks of the Passaic River, three miles east of Downtown in Newark, New Jersey. The station was a major part of New Jersey’s energy infrastructure, transitioning from a coal-fired power plant to a modern peaking facility before closing in 2022. Its history mirrors broader changes in electricity production and grid operations. However, the plant also contributed to environmental issues affecting Newark and surrounding areas. Concerns over pollution, regulatory violations, and environmental justice remain influential in shaping local policy and community efforts. The station operated in an area with persistent air quality concerns. Emissions of hazardous air pollutants, such as 1,3-butadiene, acetaldehyde, and acrolein, were recorded, although at relatively low levels. The plant is located in the Ironbound neighborhood, an area identified as an environmental justice community due to the cumulative impact of multiple pollution sources, including other fossil fuel facilities and a major waste incinerator. Owned by the Public Service Electric and Gas Company, it was designed and constructed in 1915–16 and by 1924 six generators had been installed, totaling 214,444 kva. The plant operated four simple cycle combustion turbines with a combined capacity of 617 MW. Three were brought on line in 1971, and another in 1990. They were later replaced. The plant sustained extensive damage during Hurricane Sandy, exposing the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to extreme weather events. In response, substantial investments were made in grid hardening and flood protection measures in subsequent years. It is part of the PJM Interconnection of the Eastern Interconnection grid electric transmission system. Historical pollution and violations The Essex Generating Station has a documented history of environmental concerns. In 1973, investigations by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were initiated following reports of improper roof tar disposal and a self-reported oil spill. In 1976, inspectors from the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission (PVSC) observed Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) employees discharging oily water from manholes onto the ground, leading to contamination of the Passaic River. Despite assurances of improved waste management, kerosene leaks and oil sheens on the river continued, prompting state police involvement. By the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Essex facility was identified as a major contributor to pollution in the Passaic River during EPA Superfund investigations. PSE&G was subsequently requested to participate in the Lower Passaic River Project remediation efforts.

Greater Brunswick Charter School

Greater Brunswick Charter School (GBCS) is a public charter school serving grades kindergarten through eighth located on 429 Joyce Kilmer Avenue in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The school has a Spanish-English bilingual program for grades K-4, and has plans to extend it through grade five. History The school opened in the 1998–99 school year. In 2004, it purchased its current building, formerly a bowling alley, with the help of a $500,000 government grant and a $2.5 million loan from New Jersey Community Capital and the Community Redevelopment Fund. Over the summer of 2010, the charter school expanded, creating over a dozen classrooms and a larger gymnasium out of warehouse space in the building. The funding for this was secured by the nonprofit organization Build With Purpose (then known as READS). A year prior to this expansion, the school's middle school and one fifth grade classroom had been housed across the street from the school building. The following year, a playground was added, with assistance from KaBOOM!. Student body As of the 2017–18 school year, the school had an enrollment of 395 students and 33.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.0:1. 70.4% were Hispanic, 19.4% were black, 8.1% were white, and 1.8% were Asian. 63.4% of the students were eligible for a free or reduced-price lunch. 55.2% of students primarily spoke Spanish and 44.8% primarily spoke English at home. The school has a student:teacher ratio of 15:1. GBCS will accept students from any district in New Jersey, although it gives preference to those from Edison, New Brunswick, and Highland Park. Administration Core members of the school administration include Vanessa Jones, the education director; and Hector Alvarez, the assistant education director. References

Northlandz

Northlandz er en modeljernbaneudstilling i Flemington i den amerikanske delstat New Jersey. Udstilingen blev bygget i 1970'erne af Bruce Williams Zaccagnino, der stadig står for driften. Det primære anlæg er på ca. 800 m² og er placeret i en 5000 m² stor hal. Det havde længe ry for at være verdens største modeljernbane, indtil det juli 2005 blev overgået af Miniatur Wunderland i Hamburg, der da udvidede til 900 m², og som med senere udvidelser i 2007 og 2011 kom op på 1.300 m². Efterfølgende er Loxx i Berlin desuden i 2013 blevet udvidet til 900 m², så Northlanz nu er på trediepladsen men dog stadig med en betragtelig størrelse. Det primære anlæg er bygget i skala H0 (størrelsesforhold 1:87). Det domineres af op til 13 m lange broer, hvoraf flere over hinanden spænder over dybe kløfter. De mere and 100 tog trækkes udelukkende med diesellokomotiver og kører på en samlet strækning på næsten 13 km. De til tider surrealistisk virkende bygninger og konstruktioner virker til gengæld ofte mere indtryksfulde end egentligt realistiske. Udover det store anlæg er der to mindre i skala 0 (1:45) og skala 2m (1:22,5). Desuden er der gallerier og vitriner med andre ting relateret til jernbaner samt en lille smalsporsbane. Endelig kan man mønstre en samling på over 200 dukker fra hele verdenen, et dukkehus med 94 rum og et orgel med 2.000 piber. Eksterne henvisninger Northlandz
