The Deutsches Wörterbuch, abbreviated DWB, is the largest and most comprehensive dictionary of the German language in existence. Encompassing modern High German vocabulary in use since 1450, it includes loanwords adopted from other languages into German. Entries cover the etymology, attested forms, usage peculiarities, regional differences of words found throughout the German speaking world; the dictionary's historical linguistics approach, illuminated by examples from primary source documents, makes it to German what the Oxford English Dictionary is to English. The first completed DWB lists over 330,000 headwords in 67,000 print columns spanning 32 volumes; the Deutsches Wörterbuch was begun by the Brothers Grimm in 1838 and the initial volumes were published in 1854. Unfinished at the time of their deaths, the dictionary was completed by a succession of scholars and institutions in 1961. In 1971, a 33rd supplement volume was published containing 25,000 additional entries. New research projects began in 2004 to expand and update the oldest parts of the dictionary to modern academic standards.

Volumes A–F were planned for completion in 2012 by the Language Research Centre at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the University of Göttingen. Beginning in 1830, Weidmann's Publishing House in Leipzig approached Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm with a proposal for a large new dictionary, spanning German vocabulary from Martin Luther to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; as busy professors at Göttingen University, the Brothers Grimm rejected such a complex undertaking. A political scandal dramatically changed matters. In 1837, the new King of Hanover, Ernst August, dissolved parliament and demanded oaths of allegiance from all civil servants; the brothers and five other professors refused and this so-called "Göttingen Seven" were removed from their positions by royal order. The brothers became political refugees in their former home in Kassel. By October 1838, the Brothers had a contract with Weidmann's and the prestigious Leipzig journal Allgemeine Zeitung published an announcement of the start of work on the DWB.

The brothers expected the project to take ten years and produce 6–7 volumes. Circumstances seemed favorable because they were provided with staff and spacious apartments in Berlin at the invitation of the Prussian Minister in 1841. However, difficulties soon began. Not only did the acquisition of source excerpts take much longer than expected, but illness and the Revolution of 1848 interrupted the work. Eight volumes consisting of 1824 printed columns, a bibliography and a detailed preface were published on 13 April 1854; the first edition of the DWB exceeded the expectations of the publishers. The press called it its first shipments sold 10,000 copies; as it included words regarded as "indelicate," Jacob anticipated criticism of this and stated the following in the Foreword: "This dictionary is not an immoral book, but a scientific undertaking. The Bible does not lack for words that are frowned upon in fine society." - Jacob Grimm, Vorwort 1. Band, S. XXXIV, Leipzig 1854More volumes and updates were planned, but in their lifetime the brothers could only complete portions: Wilhelm Grimm wrote the articles to the letter D and died in 1859.

After the deaths of the Grimm Brothers, successive linguists continued the work. The first of these were close associates of Rudolf Hildebrand and Karl Weigand; the DWB became an affair of state when Otto von Bismarck requested the North German Confederation Federal Council to provide state funding in 1867. The young Germanist Moritz Heyne joined the project and became one of its most important contributors. By 1888 Heyne had invited graduate students to post articles under his supervision, turning the DWB into a true consortium for the first time. Included in this group was Rudolf Meißner who collaborated on the DWB for six decades; these ever-changing authors had different approaches and the work proceeded slowly. Hermann Wunderlich, Hildebrand's successor, only finished Gestüme to Gezwang after 20 years of work and 3000 columns of text. By 1905, academic professionals across Germany were unanimous: management of the DWB had to change or it would never be completed; the prestigious Prussian Academy of Sciences took on formal development of the DWB in 1908 with Göttingen remaining a central collection point for source documents.

Operations were salaried workers were provided through funding by the Empire. This period of reform and consolidation ended with World War I in 1914. By the early'20s the project was again close to collapse as German hyperinflation drove costs of production to over 5 billion marks. A donation of just $152 from the United States in 1923 saved the DWB from ruin. Max Planck advocated for the dictionary and funding was taken up by the Emergency Association of German Science. Due to the efficiencies of a permanent staff of lexicographers as well as standardized policies for production, the period between 1931–1939 saw six times as much work completed as in the previous years. Nearly 100 years after its conception the DWB was permanently institutionalized and its conclusion was in sight. World War II paralyzed the work. Employees were drafted into military service, resources were scarce, the archived holdings were moved to a potash mine at Bernburg an der Saale to protect them from Allied bombing; the remaining three employees continued some work at Schloss Fredersdorf outside Berlin.

The Conemaugh Generating Station is a 1,872 MW baseload coal-powered plant located on 1,750 acres, across the Conemaugh River from New Florence in Western Pennsylvania. The station generates enough electricity to light 17 million 100-watt bulbs; the facility consists of two steam turbines, which began commercial operation in 1970 and 1971, two cooling towers. The main turbines run on steam produced by twin year-around 850 MWe boilers, each as tall as a 14-story building; the plant uses more than 4 million tons of coal each year. Conemaugh has two hyperbolic natural draft cooling towers which provide recirculating water to cool and condense the steam and to limit the amount of water needed from the river; the plant is one of several in the area, situated near Pennsylvania deep mines and is a twin of the Keystone Generating Station owned by PSEG Power. To control air pollution emissions, the plant is equipped with electrostatic precipitators and low-NOx burners. A wet limestone flue-gas desulfurization system was installed in the mid 1990s.

The plant donated a scenic portion of the site, known locally as Buttermilk Falls, to Indiana County for use as a wildlife refuge. The plant is one of the largest employers in Indiana County, it is a subsidiary of GenOn Energy Inc. In March 2011, PennEnvironment and the Sierra Club won a favorable court ruling finding that the plant had committed 8,684 violations of the Clean Water Act by discharging wastewater directly into the Conemaugh River. On June 6, 2011 GenOn agreed to a $5 million settlement with $3.75 million going toward the restoration of the river.
