In March, the EPA held a public meeting in Fremont to present details about the draft permits, answer questions and to take public comments. |
If approved, the permits only would allow Vickery Environmental, 3956 Ohio 412, Vickery, to construct two injection wells. The permits would not authorize the company to use the wells for disposal without first obtaining additional permits from Ohio EPA to operate the wells. |
Written comments on the draft permits may be emailed to Jess Stottsberry at Jess.Stottsberry@epa.ohio.gov, or mailed to Ohio EPA, Division of Drinking and Ground Waters, Attn: Jess Stottsberry, P.O. Box 1049, Columbus, OH 43216-1049. |

In this lesson, the students are given a group project assignment and then present their work. They have two choices: open a restaurant or eat at a restaurant. Each member has a role to play. This helps guarantee that everyone contributes equally to group work. |
For this assignment, the students must also read their instructions independently of the teacher. This strategy can give learners confidence in their ability to use English outside of the classroom. |
This episode shows a model of teaching through group projects. Click on the image below to download a pdf of the transcript. |

EVERTON are remaining tightlipped about potential plans to sell the club for £200m. |
Reports emerged yesterday that Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright has been in discussions with American technology magnates John Jay Moores and Charles Noell about a possible deal. |
The two businessmen have been given access to Everton's books until the end of January to see if a takeover is an attractive proposition. |
Everton have also reportedly signed a Head of Terms agreement with the duo which sets out what terms would be agreed to if a deal looked likely. |
Although a Head of Terms is not legally binding, it is regarded as a sign that both parties are seriously considering the opportunity to sell the club, even if Everton refused to confirm or deny the reports yesterday. |
Moores is a former owner of baseball side San Diego Padres and he and Noell have previously expressed an interest in taking control at Swansea City. |
Upendra Tripathy, recently retired Secretary of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy in India, sees tremendous opportunities for social entrepreneurs to play a role in expanding renewable energy there. |
Tripathy retired on October 31, 2016 from the top policy position in the Ministry. During his tenure, he oversaw a 400 percent increase in carbon tax in the country. He also led the five-fold increase in the 2022 target for solar power in the country from 20,000 to 100,000 megawatts. While he acknowledges that he is no... |
According to freelance writer and creative consultant, Ashok Choudhury, who lives in Delhi, Tripathy has been widely recognized for leading change in the Ministry during his two-and-a-half year tenure. |
Tripathy explains that during his service, the government took three specific actions to support renewable energy entrepreneurship. First, the government set up a regulatory infrastructure to encourage the establishment of micro-grids. Second, policies were created to encourage commercial rooftop solar projects on scho... |
The last point hints at the underlying motivation for rapid adoption of renewable energy. As India is still a developing country, there are about 300 million people who lack access to electricity. Unlike the U.S., where the primary motivation for renewable energy is to reduce carbon emissions, the need to expand access... |
Choudhury notes that Tripathy organized the 2015 RE-INVEST conference, calling it a "game changer" for entrepreneurs. The conference led to a variety of commitments from both the private and public sector, including plans to build 277 Gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy. The government committed to build 175 GW, includi... |
Choudhury says, "More important was the structuring of the 100 GW of solar into 40 GW in solar parks, 40 GW in rooftop and 20 GW in distributed space. Big entrepreneurs came in to solar parks. Thirty-four solar parks have been sanctioned so far all over India. More are in the pipeline. Rooftop has taken a big leap and ... |
Tripathy says there are already about 800 micro grids operating in India. He offers some tips for social entrepreneurs wanting to expand access to electricity using solar and other renewable energy sources in India, especially in rural villages. |
First, he says, mini-grid entrepreneurs need to look for anchor tenants with resources to help defray the capital and operating costs so they don't fall entirely on the poor. He offers examples: "Mobile towers, remote hospitals, or tourist homes if any," adding, "In such cases, you can cross subsidize the tariff of the... |
Tripathy points out, "Mobile tower connectivity is a win-win situation. The owners save costly fossil fuel and carbon footprint, create employment and promote energy access." |
His second tip for social entrepreneurs is to scan the environment, referring to the entrepreneurial ecosystem. He says, "Meet peers, join national and sub national platforms, and use 'Right to Information' [rules] to understand what all benefits Governments (federal, provincial and local) give to that sector. The fina... |
Choudhury says, "For India, climate justice is an article of faith. Renewable energy is a part of climate justice as it reduces carbon footprint, brings in investment, creates employment, and secures the future of our future generations." |
On Monday, November 21, 2016 at 10:00 PM Eastern (8:30 Tuesday morning in India), Tripathy will join me for a live discussion about the opportunities being created in India for social entrepreneurs and the benefits they will in turn bring to the 300 million people in India who lack access to electricity. Tune in here t... |
(Note: This review is 97% SPOILER free!) Star Wars is a lot of things to a lot of people, and to say anything negative about The Force Awakens before it officially opens is sure to rile up a certain faction of fans eagerly awaiting their own chance to watch it on Thursday night. The reason you've seen so little in the ... |
Yes, Kylo Ren rules this movie. As does Han Solo. It's really their adventure, split down the middle, as we watch hero and villain race to save or destroy the galaxy's new hope in this grand sci-fi adventure. More than anything else, this is a religious experience in a time when most people have abandoned any real conc... |
For the most part, director J.J. Abrams nails it. And that's because he goes back to those original three films to see what made them work internally. The dialogue here is swift and often funny. And there's some great banter between new hero Finn, played by John Boyega, and Han Solo, played by Harrison Ford. It takes F... |
But let's forget that for a moment. Because their re-introduction is a doozy. And while not everyone will agree, I think it's one of the overall best scenes in the entire two hour run time. Again, I don't want to spoil anything, but J.J. Abrams goes back to certain elements utilized in Cloverfield and Super 8, and even... |
And let's focus on something here. This is a ride. Nothing more, nothing less. It's zippy from start to finish. Though there is one scene that will drop your stomach to your knees and had a theater full of fifty year old men crying. But that's what Star Wars has always been. An adventure movie. With great characters. A... |
But that may upset and rank some people. Possibly young fans who grew up with the prequels. J.J. Abrams is a mimic. That's a gimmick some people hate. In selling Star Wars it works, but I recall certain aspects of Super 8 where the filmmaker tried to immolate Steven Spielberg and he fell flat on his face. That doesn't ... |
That all said, I may need to see this film a couple more times to know how I truly feel about it. It's like a deep, detailed new record from your favorite musician. While this is a solid piece of fan service that works in everyone's favor, it is also it's own thing. There is a definite style on display that is differen... |
The new cast is great. Daisy Ridley and John Boyega have a unique relationship as Finn and Rey, and their friendship is an interesting one. Will it turn romantic? We don't know. Possibly. Though, it looks like they may be separated throughout the next chapter, much as the heroes in Empire and Jedi were separated. Oscar... |
Andy Serkis' Snoke is a great surprise, and he sort of takes the place of the Emperor. But there is so much to this guy that we don't know about yet. It's interesting in the way that the movie sets up certain characters that will be further utilized in the future. Lupita Nyong'o's Maz Kanata seems to be playing the opp... |

With a veteran television exec, talent like Demi Lovato and Google's $86 billion in cash, the platform known for skateboarding videos and tween vloggers wants to join the battle to become a prestige TV player. "I want our shows to resonate in a big way with audiences," says content head Susanne Daniels. "And once that ... |
Days before Morgan Spurlock debuted his anticipated Super Size Me sequel at the Toronto Film Festival, the documentary already was drawing buyer interest. Netflix made a play for Spurlock's poultry industry exposé, per sources. Hulu and CNN also were said to be in the mix, but a surprising distributor quickly rose to t... |
Indeed, when Super Size Me 2 debuts on YouTube Red, the company's $10-a-month streaming service, in 2018 after a run in theaters (a distribution partner hasn't been chosen yet), it will front a small but growing slate of films — among them a documentary from rapper Warren G and a special starring Katy Perry — that YouT... |
That YouTube execs were trolling Toronto for the next big indie hit says a lot about the rise of streaming video services over the past few years. An arms race among cash-rich new players — led by Netflix and Amazon and now including Hulu, Apple, Facebook and, yes, YouTube — has electrified the content business as lega... |
If there's one thing that Netflix's House of Cards, Amazon's Transparent and Hulu's drama series Emmy winner The Handmaid's Tale have shown, it's that it only takes one big hit to earn Hollywood's respect and, in many cases, a subscriber's credit card information. "If you can offer talent the same level of fame and exp... |
Perhaps, but for every Netflix or Hulu, there is an Xbox Entertainment Studios or a Yahoo Screen or an Intel Media, all of which were scrapped after pricey launches. Even YouTube has been here before with its short-lived initiative to offer as much as $5 million up front to everyone from Ashton Kutcher to Jay Z to crea... |
There's certainly not room for half-hearted programming plays in 2017. With nearly 500 scripted series expected this year, breaking through all that clutter isn't easy. A common refrain as these new buyers take meetings is that each is looking for its Game of Thrones — an all-audience, brand-defining megahit. What that... |
Where does all this leave YouTube, the site that launched the streaming age in 2005 with user-generated cat videos but now wants to be taken seriously as a prestige subscription destination? During a recent visit with THR at Google's Mountain View campus in Northern California, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki laid out her m... |
YouTube and Hollywood haven't always been so chummy, of course. As the original digital video disrupter, the site was a pariah during its early years when uploaded clips made up the bulk of its database. Viacom sued for $1 billion over copyright infringement of footage from The Daily Show and South Park (it was settled... |
Enter Daniels, who had spent years tapping into the minds of teens at WB Network and later MTV. Early YouTube Red offerings starring the platform's biggest stars (think a reality series with PewDiePie) drew eyeballs but not much notoriety. Now that strategy has changed. This summer, YouTube Red went head-to-head with N... |
YouTube isn't really part of the prestige TV conversation yet, and Kyncl declines to disclose how much the company is willing to spend on its originals business. But sources indicate it's more likely in the hundreds of millions annually, nowhere near the $6 billion that Netflix pledges. (EMarketer estimates that YouTub... |
YouTube also is said to have beat out others to land the Mancuso project, which has Pitch Perfect's Jason Moore attached to direct the pilot. But for other pickups, Daniels and her 30-person staff in the company's Playa Vista office have had to get more creative. She landed the series reboot of Step Up after running in... |
That competition will only become fiercer as Apple, Facebook and perhaps someday soon Snapchat or Twitter or Instagram get into the premium video game. While a meeting with Netflix, Amazon or Apple may be a creator's goal among the streamers, persuading a top writer or producer to make the trek to Playa Vista — YouTube... |
While nearly all of the streamers are competing for awards recognition and prestige, only Facebook, with its 2 billion monthly users worldwide, and YouTube truly can duke it out over sheer audience scale. For now, YouTube has a clear head start on video, with more than 1 billion hours watched daily throughout the world... |
Already, the two have gone head-to-head on programming. Facebook also considered working with Katy Perry on her 96-hour live stream, but YouTube ultimately landed the ambitious project, which drew more than 50 million views in 190 countries. (Per sources, MTV also bid, but the show would have aired only in the U.S.) "I... |
Plus, there's the assurance that an ad on a Kevin Hart or Ryan Seacrest show won't run alongside anti-Semitic, violent or other controversial videos often found on YouTube (and that prompted an advertiser revolt dubbed the "ad-pocalypse" earlier this year). So far, L.L. Bean and STX Entertainment have signed on for DeG... |
Talent, meanwhile, has been lured by the potential to reach fans no matter what country they live in. "YouTube is the O.G. of video content on the internet," says Lovato, the 25-year-old pop star (for those over 40, she's referring to the "original gangster"). "When they came to me with the idea, I just couldn't say no... |
But as YouTube sets its sights on higher-profile projects, it risks alienating the community of digital talent who came to fame on its platform (and subsequently helped raise production values and CPMs), especially because projects like the Logan Paul-fronted sci-fi film The Thinning and Joey Graceffa's reality series ... |
Creators are watching YouTube's moves closely. "It makes sense for them to do both," says Rhett McLaughlin, one half of hosting duo Rhett & Link, who have both a YouTube Red series (Buddy System) and an ad-supported show (Good Mythical Morning). "This is ultimately a battle for people's eyeballs." |
Facebook already is exploiting the tension, offering upfront deals to digital influencers to post their videos on Watch, though the social network says it eventually wants to stop funding content altogether in favor of a revenue-share arrangement (the split is the same as YouTube's, with 55 percent of ad revenue going ... |
Of course, there are quirks to working with a technology company. At YouTube, the main challenge is its uniquely annoying platform architecture, in which each original series must live on a designated YouTube channel. For Step Up, for instance, YouTube is creating a whole new channel, which it will fill out by licensin... |
One benefit of having all those engineers working behind the scenes, though, can be the troves of data about the intimate viewing habits of billions of people. Daniels came to the Cobra Kai pitch armed with the knowledge that Karate Kid videos had yielded more than a billion views on YouTube. And platforms that rely on... |
In the subscription space, no one seems poised to catch Netflix, which has a five-year head start and series slate that included 43 scripted originals in 2016. But as Netflix and others look to own more of their shows, YouTube (and Apple) could get a boost. "Netflix wasn't even in the original programming game four yea... |
Sitting in her Playa Vista office in August after her weekly production update meeting, Daniels contemplates just what it will take to turn YouTube into the kind of platform that gets mentioned in the same breath with Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. "I want our shows to resonate in a big way with audiences," she says with a ... |
Chicago, one of the longest-running and most successful rock bands of all time, will play Sands Bethlehem Event Center, it was announced Monday. |
The group, which is among the Top 30 best-selling music acts of all time with more than 120 million copies of its 46 albums sold worldwide, will perform at 8 p.m. April 12. |
Tickets, at $60-$100, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 9 at the event center box office at 77 Sands Blvd., Bethlehem, at www.sandseventcenter.com and at 800-745-3000. |
Chicago last played the Lehigh Valley in 2017, when it brought its 50th anniversary tour to headline Bethlehem’ Musikfest festival and drew a sellout audience of 6,600. |
Chicago was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. |
Billboard magazine says that besides The Beach Boys, Chicago is the second-most successful American rock group of all time. |
The group has had 37 Top 20 hits in its 46-year career, eight of which went to No. 1 -- "If You Leave Me Now," "Hard to Say I'm Sorry," "Look Away," "Here in My Heart," "You're the Inspiration," "Wishing You Were Here," "Call on Me" and "Beginnings." |
"If You Leave Me Now" won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group in 1977. |
In addition, Chicago had the iconic hits "25 or 6 to 4," "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is" and "Colour My World." |
In all, it has had 22 gold and 18 platinum albums, five of which went to No. 1. Its album "Chicago 17" in 1984 was its biggest seller, with 6 million copies. |
At one point Chicago had five consecutive No. 1 albums. It is the first American band to chart Top 40 albums in five different decades. |
Its latest studio album, "Chicago XXXVI: Now," was released in 2014. In addition to its 36 studio albums, it also has released nearly 20 live and compilation discs. |
In all, it has won five Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2014. |
Lead singer Peter Cetera left in the mid-1980s. Four of the six founding members remain with the group. |
Chicago also played Allentown's PPL Center with Earth, Wind and Fire in a nearly sold-out show at the 10,000-capacity arena in 2016. It also played Allentown Fair in 2009, drawing a crowd of almost 6,400, and previously played the fair in 1990, 1987 and 1978. |
It also was a headliner at Bethlehem's Musikfest festival in 2001 and played Sands Bethlehem Event Center in 2013. |
The Consumer Electronics Show kicks off in Las Vegas next Tuesday, and gadget makers are getting ready to show off their latest tech products for the coming year. |
Every year, a few big product trends emerge. In 2011, it was all about Android tablets; in 2010, 3D televisions and e-readers dominated the show; and in 2009, netbooks were a big topic. So what does 2012 promise? Here's a look at five CES trends that people are already talking about. |
Organic Light Emitting Diode displays promise more vivid colors, faster response times, and smaller device footprints compared to LCD/LED TVs, but the technology has yet to break into the television market. That may be about to change at CES 2012, as LG announced Monday it plans to show what it calls the world's larges... |
LG's new TV has a 55-inch display, 0.16-inch depth, weighs 16.5 pounds, and promises a response time that is less than 0.0001 milliseconds (the average LCD has a response time between 5 and 2 milliseconds). OLEDs were also a hot topic for CES 2009. |
Intel introduced the concept of Ultrabooks -- laptops with slim designs, solid state drives, and longer battery life -- in May. Since then we've seen a number of Ultrabooks come out, including the Lenovo IdeaPad U300s, Acer Aspire S3, and Toshiba Portege Z835. |
But the real onslaught of these MacBook Air competitors is expected at CES, with as many as 30 to 50 Ultrabooks making their debut in Las Vegas. Intel's President and CEO Paul Otellini is delivering a keynote address at CES next Tuesday when he may discuss the forthcoming Ivy Bridge Core processors, the miniaturized su... |
Get ready for blazing fast smartphones loaded with quad-core processors, such as Nvidia's Tegra 3 and Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4. |
The first round of quad-core smartphones are expected within the first three months of 2012, and many tech watchers expect to see these devices at CES. |
No we're not talking about kilobytes, but a type of display resolution that has four times the pixel density of 1080p HDTVs, the current gold standard for mass market high-definition displays. |
LG plans to show off an 84-inch 4K 3D HDTV with Internet connectivity during CES. Toshiba is also working on a 4K 3D display, so perhaps we may see more than one 4K set next Tuesday in Las Vegas. |
Tablets have been a big topic at CES since 2010, when device makers scrambled to get out in front of the looming release of Apple's iPad. CES 2012 is expected to have more of the same, thanks to the release of Google's latest Android flavor, Ice Cream Sandwich. |
Unlike 2011, where the Motorola Xoom was the only device running Google's tablet-specific version of Android (Honeycomb), ICS is already available to any manufacturer who wants it. |
Electronics maker Coby plans to debut four ICS tablets at CES, and it's a good bet other tablet makers will follow suit. |
That's an early look at what's coming to CES 2012, but check back with PCWorld all this week as more details emerge about the year's biggest consumer electronics show. You can also bookmark our dedicated CES 2012 section here. |
Eissiel Lamas, 5, holds the project he from a "genius kit" made up of a variety of objects inlcuding egg cartons and film canisters. Students in the satellite program of the Boys and Girls Club at Empire Elementary School were given the kits on the last day of school June 6 and projects were judged Thursday. |
It only took a little bit of wood, macaroni, straws and other miscellaneous objects for 9-year-old Destiny Martinez to lose herself in make believe. |
From the objects in the kit, the children were to make a special project and bring it back for judging Thursday afternoon. |
“I thought it was going to be fun and when I was finished with it, I thought it was pretty,” said Callen Aten, 5. |
Callen made a hot air balloon, a pet house and a spider web from the yarn. |
