# The Jersey Journal

The Jersey Journal was a daily newspaper, published from Monday through Saturday, covering news and events throughout Hudson County, New Jersey. The Journal is a sister paper to The Star-Ledger of Newark, The Times of Trenton and the Staten Island Advance, all of which are owned by Advance Publications, which bought the paper in 1945. The newspaper ceased publishing in February 2025.

## History

Founded by Civil War veterans William Dunning and Z. K. Pangborn, the Jersey Journal was originally known as the Evening Journal and was first published on May 2, 1867. The newspaper's first offices were located at 13 Exchange Place in Jersey City with a reported initial capitalization of $119.
The newspaper built a new office building on 37 Montgomery Street in 1874.
Editor Joseph A. Dear changed the Evening Journal to its current name in 1909.
The paper relocated again, in 1911, to a building at the northeast corner of Bergen and Sip Avenues. This building was demolished in 1923 to make room for Journal Square, which took its name from the newspaper. The Journal made its home at 30 Journal Square for the next 90 years. Its weekly Spanish-language publication, El Nuevo Hudson, ceased publication after the February 26, 2009, edition.
In December 2012, it was announced that the newspaper would sell the building and relocate to another location in Hudson County. In August 2013, the paper announced it would move to Secaucus, which it did in January 2014. It maintains offices at 30 Montgomery Street in Jersey City.
On October 30, 2024, the Jersey Journal announced that it would cease publication on February 1, 2025, citing rising printing costs following the recent closure of its production facility in Montville, New Jersey. In a local article announcing its closure, Jersey Journal editor and publisher David Blomquist stated '[a]n online-only publication simply would not have enough scale to support the strong, politically independent journalism that has distinguished The Journal'. The newspaper's 17 employees — eight full-time and nine part-time — would be fired when publication ends.

## Newspapers in Education Program

The Jersey Journal's Newspapers in Education Program, supported with an additional sponsorship, comprises three annual events and awards: the Hudson County Science Fair, the Hudson County Spelling Bee, and the Everyday Heroes Awards.

# Kartar Dhillon

Kartar Kaur Dhillon (Punjabi: ਕਰਤਾਰ ਕੌਰ ਢਿੱਲੋਂ) was a Punjabi Sikh American political activist and writer from California. Dhillon grew up in the Ghadar Party, working to end British colonialism in India. As an activist, she supported unions, the Black Panther Party, farm workers, political prisoners, and the Korean reunification movement.

## Early life

Her father, Bakshish Singh Dhillon was one of the first Punjabi Sikh pioneers to arrive in the United States in 1897, with her mother, Rattan Kaur joining him in 1910. Kartar Dhillon was the fourth child out of the total eight in the family. At the time she was born, their family was the only South Asian family in Simi Valley. From 1916 to 1922, she and her family lived in Astoria, Oregon, where she and her siblings attended school and her father worked at a lumber mill.

## During World War II

As a part of the war effort, Dhillon worked as a machinist and truck driver from the Marine Corps. Her youngest brother, Hari, also volunteered for the Marine Corps and was killed in action in Okinawa in 1945 at the age of 18.

## Later works and retirement

She picked crops, worked as a waitress, and was the secretary for the San Francisco, Teamsters and Asbestos Worker's unions. She retired in 1983.

# Nowe Ateny

Nowe Ateny (New Athens) is the abbreviated title of the first Polish-language encyclopedia, authored by the 18th-century Polish priest Benedykt Joachim Chmielowski. The first edition was published in 1745–1746 in Lwów (Lviv); the second edition was updated and expanded in 1754–1764.
The first part of the full title was: New Athens or the Academy full of all science, divided into subjects and classes, for the wise ones to record, for the idiots to learn, for the politicians to practice, for the melancholics to entertain issued...
The book uses the Polish language as the main text, and primarily Latin for the in-line references. Chmielowski also included anecdotes in the text, and tales about strange and exotic topics.

## Organization and content

The first edition of the encyclopedia contains 938 pages, organized by subject rather than alphabetically. Chmielowski compiled data from a few hundred references, dating from antiquity to his contemporary.
Almost every sentence in the book is in-line referenced, frequently in Latin, a lingua franca in Poland among the educated classes as in most of 18th century Central and Western Europe. Chmielowski added personal annotations as well; for example, "Dragons existed for sure, I myself held, visiting Radziwills' castle, a rib of a dragon bigger than a regular sabre". Judging from the inclusion of numerous stories, anecdotes, and descriptions of strange phenomena and exotic countries (like China and Japan), the encyclopedia was directed towards a rather popular audience and aimed to arouse readers' curiosity and desire for learning.

## Legacy

The encyclopedia was a controversial topic during the Enlightenment period. Some critics argued that it was a waste of time and money, and that it would only serve to spread ignorance and superstition. Others argued that it was a dangerous tool that could be used to challenge authority and traditional beliefs.
Nowe Ateny is the source of a few memorable and amusing "definitions", often quoted in Poland to this day:
* Horse: Everyone can see what a horse is. (pol. Koń jaki jest, każdy widzi)
* Goats, a stinking kind of animal. (pol. Kozy, śmierdzący rodzaj zwierząt)
The humor was probably unintentional by the author. Rather, he did not see the benefit of defining the most common animals of the time and place for his intended audience. Furthermore, the entry for "Horse" does contain more detailed exposition beyond the initial "definition".
In modern Polish, the above definition of the horse is sometimes used as a colorful equivalent of the statement "the concept is more obvious than it appears to be from its more technical definition".
In the last few decades, opinions about Nowe Ateny have changed for the positive. The quotations above are fragments taken from a broader context. For example, Chmielowski wrote more than 15 pages about the horses in his monumental, 3000-page encyclopedia (four volumes).

# Mike Hall (bassist)

Mike Hall (born October 23, 1989) is an American bassist from Madison, New Jersey. Hall is best known for his bass playing style as a solo instrumentalist, primarily through a playing technique that blends the use of two handed tapping, slapping, flamenco, and creating several solo bass instrumental arrangements.

## Early life

Hall was born on October 23, 1989, and raised in Madison, New Jersey. While in elementary school, he began playing the cello as his first serious instrument. Upon entering middle school, Hall's orchestra teacher switched him onto the upright bass due to his poor posture from childhood scoliosis. After graduating from Madison High School in 2008, Hall elected to switch over to playing the bass guitar.

## Musical career

Hall co-founded and managed the pop rock band Running Late. In 2020, Hall left Running Late and pursued becoming a solo instrumentalist under the artist name of "Mike Hall Bass".
Following his departure from the band, Hall received critical acclaim for his hybrid bass playing style that combines aspects of two handed tapping, slapping, and flamenco. Hall's creative approach towards arranging solo bass instrumental covers has also been the subject of education within the bass playing community.

## Influences

Hall has cited numerous bassists as inspirations for developing his bass playing style, including Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cliff Burton from Metallica, Larry Graham from Sly and the Family Stone, and Victor Wooten from Béla Fleck and the Flecktones.

## Education

Hall graduated from Centenary University as a double major in criminal justice and political science. He also graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University with an MBA in marketing.

# Pembina oil field

The Pembina oil field is one of the largest and most prolific conventional oil fields in the province of Alberta, Canada.
The mature field is centered on Drayton Valley and is named for the Pembina River, which crosses the region from southwest to northeast. It taps reservoirs in the Cretaceous formations of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin for oil and gas production. The main hydrocarbon-bearing unit is the Cardium Formation. Production also comes from the Viking Formation and sandstone beds of the Fernie Formation such as the Rock Creek Member.

## History

The first oil was discovered by Mobil Oil in February 1953, and it started a boom that saw an investment of $900 million in the area.
