What's In the Air We Breathe
The APCD has a network of 18 monitoring stations to find out what's in the air we breathe. The data we collect is available on our Station Data page and reported each year in our Annual Air Quality Report. To view historical information on ozone and particle pollution levels at Santa Barbara County monitoring stations, and numbers of exceedances of standards by year, see the California Air Resources Board Air Quality Data Statistics.
Our air quality monitoring stations are small, portable structures containing electronic instruments used to measure and record the concentration of various air pollutants. Weather conditions such as temperature, wind speed, and wind direction are also recorded. This helps the APCD track air quality trends and evaluate the likely cause of high pollution levels.
Pollutants are measured continuously 24 hours a day. Twelve stations continuously measure concentrations of ozone, and are shown in our monitoring station network map. Particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) and particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5) are both measured continuously at Santa Barbara, Goleta, Lompoc, and Santa Maria stations. PM10 is also measured continuously at two other stations: Las Flores Canyon and El Capitan. Data are recorded in real time by the APCD's Data Acquisition System and posted on the APCD's website.
For more information on ozone, particulate matter, other pollutants, and their health effects, see Air Pollutants and Your Health.
The stations require regular visits by technicians to calibrate equipment, change filters, and perform routine maintenance and repairs. Not every station measures every pollutant. Some measure just one pollutant plus weather conditions. Some measure up to ten pollutants plus weather conditions.
Ambient Air Monitoring Network
Each monitoring station is sited to meet one or more of the following objectives: (1) to determine representative concentrations of air pollution in highly populated areas; (2) to determine the impact of specific businesses or other sources of pollution; (3) to determine general background pollution levels in areas not directly affected by cars, businesses and other man-made pollution sources; and (4) to determine the highest pollution levels in the county. The network of all stations combined must meet all four objectives.
Each year the APCD prepares an annual air monitoring network plan for the county. The plan includes a statement of the purpose for each air monitor, and evidence that the siting and operation of each monitor meets the requirements of the federal regulations. A copy of the most current plan can be found here 2018 Air Monitoring Network Plan.
In 2018, The District evaluated the current monitoring network and submitted a request to the EPA to modify the network to maximize district resources and optimize monitor locations. Documents related to this request are provided here:
2018 Network Modification Request to EPA.
EPA Response – 2018 Network Plan and Modifications.
CARB – 2018 Network Modifications.
Every five years the APCD prepares a five year network assessment of the air quality surveillance system in Santa Barbara County. A copy of the most current assessment can be found here 2015 Five Year Network Assessment.
Types of Stations
Stations fall into two primary categories: SLAMS and PSD stations.
Six SLAMS (State and Local Air Monitoring Stations) measure urban and regional air quality. Two SLAMS stations are operated by the California Air Resources Board (Santa Barbara and Santa Maria) and four by the APCD (Lompoc, Santa Ynez, El Capitan, and Goleta). Five of these stations measure ambient concentrations of carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides, PM10, and sulfur dioxide.
Twelve PSD (Prevention of Significant Deterioration) stations are used to determine baseline air quality and the impacts of specific operations, for example large oil and gas facilities. These stations are generally located in the vicinity of the facility, and measure specific pollutants emitted by the facility. Most PSD stations are operated by the facility; four are operated by APCD. Some PSD stations have been located in distant areas to measure background concentrations of pollutants, or to measure regional pollutants, such as ozone, in areas downwind from the facility.
Data collected are summarized in regular required reports to the California Air Resources Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and in APCD's Annual Air Quality Report. Data are also used for planning and permitting to help predict future pollution concentrations using computer models. In an emergency, data on wind speed and direction could help us predict the movement of a fire or toxic cloud, and determine whether an evacuation is necessary.
We also use the data to watch air pollution levels on a daily basis. If any monitoring station shows pollution levels above a certain threshold, the APCD is required to notify public officials, schools, hospitals, convalescent homes, radio and TV stations, and to advise people to curb their outdoor activities. Only rarely does the air in our county reach a level that would require the APCD to make these public notifications.

32 state-owned abandoned properties worth billions identified for auction: PM told
ISLAMABAD, Dec 12 (APP):Prime Minister Imran Khan Thursday was informed that 32 federal government-owned abandoned properties worth billions of rupees had been identified in major cities for their onward auction to generate revenue and spend it on public welfare.
The prime minister was chairing a meeting to discuss progress on the productive utilization of the federal government's unused properties wherein secretary privatization said the properties had been identified in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi with their estimated value in billions of rupees.
Minister for Economic Affairs Hammad Azhar, Minister for Maritime Affairs Syed Ali Haider Zaidi, Privatization Minister Mohammed Mian Soomro, Special Assistants to Prime Minister Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan, Syed Zulfiqar Ali Bukhari and Nadeem Afzal Chan, federal secretaries of the ministries concerned and other senior officers also attended the meeting, a Prime Minister Office press release said.
The secretary privatization told the meeting that out of 32 identified properties 27 were available and the process for recovery from illegal occupation and completion of ownership documents of rest five properties was in progress.
The prime minister was told that the investors and overseas Pakistanis had shown keen interest in the said properties during an expo held in Dubai during the current month.
He said after fulfilling all formalities, the schedule for their auction would be finalized and a local and international advertisement campaign would be launched in first week of January.
The prime minister expressed satisfaction on the process and said the utilization of abandoned properties and the utilization of the generated revenue for public welfare was vital component of government's policies.
He said the abandoned properties located on key locations in major cities would be utilized for construction of low cost houses, schools and hospitals besides spending the revenue generated from their auction for provision of better amenities.
The prime minister also instructed the authorities concerned to share the information regarding the abandoned properties with Naya Pakistan Housing Authority so that such land could be utilized for construction of low cost housing units.
He also directed all the ministries to amend their rules to ensure the utilization of the abandoned properties for public welfare and furnish report to cabinet within a week for early completion of the process.
He also instructed the government to accomplish the recovery of the government land from illegal occupation and complete the documentation of their ownership in coordination with the provincial governments.
Chairman Naya Pakistan Housing Authority apprised the prime minister about the progress on the construction of low cost housing units for poor. The prime minister said the provision of low-cost and well equipped houses to the low-income group particularly the residents of the slums was among government's priorities.
He said the construction of the high rise buildings in slums located in different cities would not only resolve the housing problems of the slum dwellers but also enable the government to spend revenue to be generated from the construction of commercial plazas for building low-cost houses for the poor.

Rijeka vs Salzburg predictions for Wednesday's Champions League clash in Croatia. Rijeka look to utilise the home advantage in their Champions League clash with Red Bull Salzburg. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.
Rijeka took advantage of Dinamo Zagreb's collapse last season and went on to claim their first ever Croatian league title, putting them back into the Champions League for the first time since the turn of the millennium. That is their only previous appearance in the competition, and with them losing that tie 6-1 in the 2nd qualifying round, things are looking much better this time round.
They managed to hold Red Bull Salzburg to a 1-1 draw away from home last week, putting the ball firmly in their court as they welcome the Austrian champions to Croatia. With an away goal to their advantage and the home crowd behind them they will feel fairly confident of progressing in the competition.
So far Rijeka's season as a whole is going well. They have won their opening three league matches as they defend their title, they hammered The New Saints 7-1 in their previous Champions League qualifier, and now they're in a great position to make it to the playoff round.
Red Bull Salzburg did make short work of Hibernians in their last qualifying tie with a 6-0 aggregate win, but they dropped points against LASK Linz at the weekend and now face a daunting trip to Croatia as they look to remain in the Champions League.
The visitors do have a much longer history in this competition than Rijeka, but it's not been overly successful. Red Bull Salzburg have never made it to the group stages, regularly getting knocked out in the playoffs and ending up in the Europa League group stages. They had a fantastic season in the 2013/14 campaign, but their squad was gutted the following summer and since then they haven't made it out of the groups.
Away from home they have won three, drawn three, and lost seven of their last 13 Champions League matches, and they're facing a Rijeka side who have won six of their last nine home European games. Given how last week went, I think Rijeka have enough about them to get the win, and odds of 5/4 for that outcome look good value. We're going for that along with a 2-1 correct score predictions at 17/2.


The world has always been divided into two distinct kinds of people, tea drinkers and coffee drinkers (and a select few who like both). With Starbucks and other cafe chains around every corner, getting our hands on that daily cup(s) is easier than ever before. So much so, that getting a caffeine fix is more like an addiction than anything else. While we know that coffee is good for you, like anything in excess, coffee too can really mess with your body. We're not trying to fuel an unhealthy caffeine habit, but if you are really fond of coffee, it might be a good idea to try making some yourself.
Not only are you in control of just how your coffee turns out (taste and health-wise), but you also don't have to spend hundreds of rupees every time you need to buy a cup. One of the biggest coffee trends is no doubt, cold brew coffee, which is smoother, richer and less acidic than hot coffee. It's easier to make at home than you think, and we're not just talking about the regular cold brew. Try these five at-home cold brew coffee recipes, and your life might change more than you think.
All you need is ground coffee beans, room temperature water, a cheesecloth for straining and the secret ingredient - unsweetened cocoa powder.
If you like sweeter coffee, this recipe is for you - plus it's super easy. It's basically regular cold brew coffee with the kick of sweet condensed milk.
While this might sound complex, all the extra work it requires is making a simple honey cinnamon syrup to go with your normal cold brew. Do you feel like a barista yet?
Now, here's something you would probably go to Starbucks for - but not anymore! Amp up your cold brew with almond milk ice cubes and a caramel sauce made of dates.
This one is bound to make you curious if you are a true-blue coffee lover. Trade in your regular cold brew coffee for a kick of coconut, but more excitingly, a hint of rum.

Gotham acquire Lynn Williams in trade with Current for No. 2 pick
Lynn Williams played in just one Challenge Cup game for Kansas City after joining the club in a trade in January 2022. (Daniel Bartel/USA TODAY Sports)
The 2023 NWSL Draft began with a splash Thursday night.
Lynn Williams is heading to Gotham FC after the New York/New Jersey club acquired the U.S. women's national team forward in a trade with the Kansas City Current. In exchange for Williams, the Current received the No. 2 pick in Thursday's draft, which they used to select Duke forward Michelle Cooper.
Williams joins her second NWSL club in a year after being traded to Kansas City last January. The 29-year-old played in just one game for the 2022 NWSL finalists — their Challenge Cup opener against Racing Louisville — before she suffered a season-ending hamstring injury that required surgery.

— NJ/NY Gotham FC (@GothamFC) January 12, 2023
Finally healthy to start 2023, Williams was named to the USWNT roster last week for two January friendlies against New Zealand. This marks her first appearance for the U.S. since February 2022.
Williams will add an immediate spark to Gotham's offense, which ranked last in the league with 16 goals in 2022. The team finished the season in last place at 4-17-1.
Before joining the Current, Williams played for the North Carolina Courage from 2017-21. She scored 48 goals and added 20 assists while helping the club win two NWSL championships and two NWSL Shields. Despite missing the 2022 regular season, the 2016 NWSL MVP ranks third in all-time goals (57) and assists (26) in the league.
With Cooper, the Current add a talented forward to an already potent attack that now includes midfielder Debinha, Kansas City's marquee free-agent signing. Cooper led Duke with 19 goals and 11 assists in 2022 on her way to winning the MAC Hermann Trophy, which recognizes the best player in college soccer. The USWNT U-20 captain also won the Golden Boot and Golden Ball during the Concacaf qualifying tournament in the spring.
The Current, fresh off winning 10 games and making a run at the 2022 championship in their second season as a franchise, stocked up on talent in free agency and added one of the top prospects in the draft. Even with Williams off the roster and star midfielder Sam Mewis still sidelined with a knee injury, Kansas City enters 2023 as a top championship contender.

Drahanská vrchovina je geomorfologický celek ležící zhruba uprostřed Moravy, součást Brněnské vrchoviny. Na západě sousedí s Boskovickou brázdou a Bobravskou vrchovinou, na jihu s Dyjsko-svrateckým úvalem a Vyškovskou bránou, na východě s Hornomoravským úvalem a na severu se Zábřežskou vrchovinou. Je nazvána podle městysu Drahany na Prostějovsku, který je nejvýše položenou obcí její východní části. Jihozápadním okrajem zasahuje na území města Brna, jemuž tvoří severní a severovýchodní zázemí, významné historicky jako zdroj dřeva, železa, kamene a později zejména pro rekreaci.

Nejvyšší bod Skalky, který dosahuje 735 m n. m., se nachází ve východní části, označované jako Konická vrchovina (droby, slepence, břidlice, ostrůvky prvohorních devonských vápenců u Javoříčka a Mladče). Dalšími podcelky Drahanské vrchoviny jsou Moravský kras, v němž vystupují na ploše téměř 100 km čtverečních prvohorní devonské vápence, a Adamovská vrchovina, složená hlavně z žuly a granodioritu, která byla rozrušena třetihorními tektonickými pohyby a činností řek. Seznam dalších nejvyšších a nejprominentnějších vrcholů obsahuje Seznam vrcholů v Drahanské vrchovině.

Administrativně náleží oblast převážně do Jihomoravského kraje (okresy Blansko, Brno-město, Brno-venkov, Vyškov), severovýchod do kraje Olomouckého (okres Prostějov) a severní cíp do kraje Pardubického (okres Svitavy). Asi 13 % rozlohy vrchoviny pokrývá vojenský újezd Březina.

Geologie

Na Drahanské vrchovině převládají prvohorní (karbonské) horniny usazené. Na velké části jsou také poměrně mocné čtvrtohorní usazeniny. Reliéf Moravského krasu vzniká v důsledku rozpouštění hornin a postupně se tak vytváří typická krajina s povrchovými a podzemními krasovými jevy.

Klimatické poměry

Drahanská vrchovina leží v klimatické oblasti mírně teplé, mírně vlhké, vrchovinné. Atmosférické srážky se pohybují v rozmezí 616–711 mm za rok. Ve vegetačním období je průměrná teplota 12,5 stupňů Celsia. Vzhledem k poloze a k neexistenci velkých průmyslových podniků je zde jedno z nejčistších ovzduší v České republice. V roce 2008 ovšem expanduje výroba plastových akrylátových van a příslušenství v okolí nejvyšších partií vrchoviny – zejména obec Suchý (původní výrobní hala o velikosti několika hektarů se rozšiřuje o 70 %), a tak v tomto důsledku kvalita ovzduší v této části Drahanské vrchoviny výrazně klesá – firma RIHO v obci Suchý ohlásila IRZ (www.irz.cz) v roce 2007 6740 kg styrenu/ovzduší/rok. V zimním období bývají zpravidla partie nad 500 metrů nad mořem pokryty souvislou sněhovou pokrývkou.

Vodstvo

Drahanská vrchovina leží ve srážkovém stínu Českomoravské vrchoviny, která zadržuje většinu srážek přinášených západními větry. Je velmi chudá na povrchové vodní zdroje i na zásoby podzemních vod. Nemá velké toky, jedná se o pramennou oblast na rozvodí Svratky (jihozápadní část) a horní Moravy (sever a východ). Významnými toky na povodí Svratky jsou Svitava (ta zde ovšem nepramení) s přítoky Bělou a Punkvou, Říčka a Rakovec. Sever vrchoviny odvodňují zejména Nectava (přítok Jevíčky) a Romže, tekoucí po hranici oblasti, a východní část pak Okluka (Hloučela), Brodečka a Velká a Malá Haná.

Flóra

Nacházejí se zde jak lesy jehličnaté, tak lesy s převahou listnáčů. V jehličnatých lesích roste smrk obecný, borovice lesní, modřín opadavý, douglaska tisolistá a jedle bělokorá. V lesích s převahou listnáčů se zejména vyskytuje buk lesní, dub zimní, dub letní, habr obecný, javor klen, bříza bělokorá, ojediněle lípa, jírovec maďal, osika obecná aj. Z keřů je velmi hojný bez hroznatý, bez černý, maliník obecný a mnoho druhů ostružiníků. V lesích roste poměrně velké množství hub.

Fauna

Drahanská vrchovina má poměrně dobré ekologické podmínky, vyskytuje se zde množství živočichů.
 Šelmy: kuna lesní, kuna skalní, jezevec lesní, liška obecná
 Dravci: káně lesní, jestřáb lesní, krahujec obecný, včelojed lesní a další
 Sovy: kalous ušatý, puštík obecný, sýček obecný, výr velký, sova pálená
 Šplhavci: strakapoud velký, datel černý, žluna zelená
 Pěvci: různé druhy sýkor, pěnkava obecná, hýl obecný, strnad lesní, různé druhy pěnic, červenka obecná, kos černý, drozd zpěvný, sojka obecná, čížek lesní, střízlík obecný, krkavec velký, vrabec domácí.
 Další ptáci z různých skupin, např. kukačka obecná a další.
 Spárkatá zvěř: srnec obecný, jelen evropský, muflon evropský, prase divoké.

Ve studii, ve které Renčo, Čermák a Čerevková v 27 březových lesích na Slovensku a České republice zjišťovali výskyt hlístic, byla jejich nejvyšší koncentrace zjištěna právě na Drahanské vrchovině.

Nerostné suroviny

Rudy byly v této oblasti těženy jen výjimečně a těžba měla jen menší hospodářský význam. Mezi nejvýznamnější patřila naleziště železné rudy v oblasti Olomučan, Rudice, Habrůvky a Josefova. Na tuto těžbu sahající daleko do historie upozorňuje naučná stezka "Cesta železa Moravským krasem." Další lokalitou, kde se těžila železná ruda již v dobách Keltů, byla oblast kolem Malého, resp. Starého Hradiska. Ze stavebních surovin se v současnosti těží převážně droby, lomový kámen, v Moravském krasu dobíhá těžba vápence. V oblasti Křtin a Jedovnic jsou naleziště mramoru.

Historie

Až do 12. století byla Drahanská vrchovina velmi řídce osídlena, většinu z území tvořily hluboké lesy, jejím územím procházelo několik obchodních stezek. Ve 13. století dostávala vznikající šlechta od krále rozlehlá území, na kterých začala vznikat (případně se rozšiřovat) světská i církevní panství. Jejich centry se staly hrady Blansek, Boskovice, Dědice, Doubravice, Grünberk (Stražisko), Holštejn, Nový hrad, Obřany, Račice, Starý Plumlov, Vildenberk a další. V rámci velké (nebo též německé) kolonizace přišlo na území vrchoviny velké množství kolonistů z Bavorska, Dolních Rakous, Dolního Saska, ale i z Holandska a Flander. Po moravských markraběcích válkách a husitských válkách došlo k vylidnění této oblasti a zániku mnoha vsí, přičemž zde začal převládat český živel.

Drsná a zemědělsky málo výnosná Drahanská vrchovina již nepřitahovala nové osadníky a katastry zaniklých vsí obvykle zarostly lesem. Území bylo nadále využíváno zemědělsky, k těžbě dřeva a částečně i k těžbě surovin. Mnoho původních panských sídel zaniklo a vznikla nová centra panství, která se nacházela většinou na okraji Drahanské vrchoviny v níže položené oblasti. Bylo to Blansko, Boskovice, Habrovany, Konice, Plumlov, Pozořice, Račice, Rájec nad Svitavou, Šebetov a Vyškov. V průběhu staletí zde nevyrostlo žádné významné město, v době průmyslové revoluce zde nevznikl žádný významný podnik a obyvatelé, kteří se nezabývali zemědělstvím, začali cestovat za prací do měst, ležících v níže položených okolních oblastech. V roce 1935 došlo v jihovýchodní části zalesněného území Drahanské vrchoviny ke vzniku vojenské střelnice (Vojenský výcvikový prostor Vyškov). Po vzniku Protektorátu Čechy a Morava bylo v rámci programu germanizace a konečného řešení české otázky vysídleno 33 obcí Drahanské vrchoviny, přičemž záminkou bylo rozšíření vojenské střelnice. Po druhé světové válce se obyvatelstvo vrátilo do svých vesnic zpět, a naopak byl vysídlen a zrušen německý jazykový ostrov okolo Brodku u Konice v severní části vrchoviny. Vojenská střelnice byla zachována v rozsahu z roku 1935 – nyní Vojenský újezd Březina. Za druhé světové války bylo na jižní části Drahanské vrchoviny zbudováno značné množství betonových bunkrů, jež byly součástí vojenského cvičiště a které zůstaly zachovány dodnes. V roce 1944 byl mezi Ruprechtovem a Račicemi vysazen partyzánský oddíl Jermak, který na Drahanské vrchovině působil až do konce války.

Ani po druhé světové válce nedošlo na Drahanské vrchovině k rozvoji průmyslu, oblast byla využívána spíše zemědělsky. V 50. letech byl na náhorní planině mezi Lipovcem a Krásenskem vztyčen vysílač Kojál, nejvyšší stavba na Moravě.

Od 70. let 20. století docházelo v rámci Jednotných zemědělských družstev k rozvoji nezemědělské výroby, která zajišťovala zaměstnanost pro značnou část pracovních sil. Po roce 1989 postupně docházelo k rušení těchto činností a snižování počtu pracovníků v zemědělství, čímž se výrazně zvýšil počet lidí dojíždějících za prací do center na okraji Drahanské vrchoviny, jako jsou Blansko, Boskovice, Brno, Prostějov a Vyškov.

Doprava
Z dopravního hlediska jde o vnitřní periferii, kterou hlavní dopravní tahy až na výjimky obcházejí. Železnice tudy prochází jen okrajově na jihozápadě údolím Svitavy (páteřní trať Česká Třebová–Brno), další tratě vrchovinu rámují těsně (tratě ze Skalice nad Svitavou a z Prostějova do Chornic) nebo s odstupem (trať Brno–Přerov a Nezamyslice–Prostějov).

Také silnice vyšší kategorie vedou téměř důsledně okolo této oblasti, jmenovitě dálnice D1, dálnice D46 a silnice I/43. Vrchovina je tak obsloužena pouze silnicemi II. tříd, z nichž hlavní jsou II/150 vedoucí přes severní část a II/379 přes část jižní, kolmo propojené silnicemi II/373 a II/374 (trasy obou jsou ovšem na území Drahanské vrchoviny přerušeny). Dalšími významnými spojnicemi jsou silnice II/366, II/377, II/378 a II/383.

Současnost
Drahanská vrchovina je nezatížena intenzívní průmyslovou výrobou a až na výjimky se jedná o oblast čistým vzduchem a prostředím celkově. Dochází zde k rozmachu cyklostezek a ke stále většímu využívání pro rekreační účely. V zimě je díky sněhové pokrývce oblíbeným místem pro běžecké lyžování. Na několika místech existují značené a upravované běžecké okruhy.

A co-payment is a pre-determined quantity that you will need to pay a medical supplier for a specific kind of service. For instance, you might be required to pay a $15 co-payment whenever you go to your physician. On this occasion, you will need to pay $15 to the physician's workplace on the time of the go to. Usually, you aren't required to pay any further charges — your medical insurance firm pays the remainder. Nonetheless, in some instances, in case your medical insurance coverage specifies it, you might be chargeable for a co-payment after which a proportion of the remaining steadiness.
A deductible is the quantity of your medical bills you will need to pay for earlier than the medical insurance firm will start to pay advantages. Most medical insurance plans have a calendar-year deductible which signifies that in January of each new 12 months the deductible requirement begins over once more. So, in case your calendar 12 months deductible is $1500, so long as your medical bills for the present 12 months don't exceed $1500 the insurance coverage firm pays nothing for that 12 months.

You have to to verify your coverage as a result of many insurance policies that require co-payments don't permit these co-payments to go towards the out-of-pocket quantity. For instance, you might have reached your out-of-pocket most for the 12 months, so in case you are admitted to the hospital you might pay nothing. Nonetheless, since it's a must to pay a $15 co-payment each time you go to the physician, you'll nonetheless must make this co-payment.
That is the utmost quantity that the medical insurance firm pays towards your medical bills for the lifetime of your coverage. Typically, this quantity is within the thousands and thousands of . Except you've a really extreme situation, you'll not going exhaust this quantity.
A Most well-liked Supplier Group (often known as a PPO) is a bunch of collaborating medical suppliers who've agreed to work with the medical insurance firm at a reduced fee.

You will note this time period in all medical insurance insurance policies, and it's a frequent explanation for denied claims. Most insurance coverage firms won't cowl any bills that they don't think about medically needed. Simply since you and/or your physician think about one thing medically needed, your medical insurance firm could not. Because of this, you at all times have to confirm that any pricey procedures you're contemplating will likely be coated.
Routine remedy is mostly outlined as preventive companies. For instance, a yearly bodily examination that you've got frequently is mostly thought of to be routine. Lots of the immunizations that kids and adults obtain fall beneath this classification. Some insurance coverage firms present restricted protection for routine remedy; others present no advantages in any respect.

okay, seirously now, are the pumpkins actually reforming? i've heard too much speculation to be sure. and i'm not sure if i'd like that... i think they should just quit while they were high... i'm worried this new album will be a let down.
oh and corgan, he's also done some solo stuff recently, not sure if he's sticking with that though...? hmm.
still this whole pumpkins reunion does seem a bit odd, last i hear he plans to put out a new album...then again if he is the mastermind writing it wouldnt it just be his second solo album with a different backing group?
who's going to go see them play when they do their next tour?
WOO! i really hope they can get d'arcy back though, that would complete it for me.

Trump to order construction of Mexican wall – Daily Mirror
January 25, 2017 By Abdul Nazeer Leave a Comment
US President Donald Trump will begin rolling out executive actions on immigration Wednesday, beginning with steps to tighten border security – including his proposed wall along the US-Mexico border.
The president is also expected to take action over the next few days to temporarily ban immigration from Muslim countries deemed a 'threat to national security' – namely Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, and Somalia.
In addition, Trump is set to sign other domestic immigration enforcement measures that will include targeting sanctuary cities that decline to prosecute undocumented aliens.
One key policy shift being discussed is whether to follow through on a campaign promise to scrap an Obama era initiative granting protection from deportation to hundreds of thousands of children of illegal immigrants.
The 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) has shielded illegal immigrant children from deportation by granting them work permits, but Trump vowed during the campaign to end the initiative.
'Many options are being worked through on DACA,' a White House official told The Washington Post.
The Donald will get started with an executive order authorizing the wall on Wednesday, while the immigration bans are still being finalized and could come later in the week.
The president posted a tweet on Tuesday evening signaling that major announcements were in the offing.
'Big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow,' Trump tweeted. 'Among many other things, we will build the wall!'
The new Trump directives will also stop most refugees including those from Syria coming to America while vetting processes are reviewed.
The one exception is religious minorities fleeing persecution – which would apply to Christians fleeing Syria and other Muslim majority countries, according to several congressional aides and immigration experts briefed on the matter.
In total over the next few days, Trump is expected to:
Direct federal funds toward the construction of a wall along the southern border
Target so-called 'sanctuary' cities that decline to prosecute undocumented aliens
Measures still being finalized and subject to change include:
A four-month freeze on admission of all refugees
Grant exceptions to Christians and other minorities fleeing Muslim persecution
Halt visas to people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen because the Muslim-majority countries that are 'terror prone'
The visa bans would last at least 30 days while vetting processes are reviewed
Stop protecting illegal immigrants who arrived in the US as children from deportation
The proposed plans include at least a four-month halt on all refugee admissions, as well as temporary ban on people coming from some Muslim majority countries, according to a representative of a public policy organization that monitors refugee issues.
There is also likely to be an exception in the refugee stoppage for those fleeing religious persecution if their religion is a minority in their country.
That exception could cover Christians fleeing Muslim-majority nations.
The Republican president was expected to sign the orders at the Washington headquarters of the Department of Homeland Security, whose responsibilities include immigration and border security.
On the campaign trail, Trump initially proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States to protect Americans from jihadist attacks.
Both Trump and his nominee for attorney general, U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions, have since said they would focus the restrictions on countries whose migrants could pose a threat, rather than placing a ban on people who follow a specific religion.
Many Trump supporters decried Democratic President Barack Obama's decision to increase the number of Syrian refugees admitted to the United States over fears that those fleeing the country's civil war would carry out attacks.
Detractors could launch legal challenges to the moves if all the countries subject to the ban are Muslim-majority nations, said immigration expert Hiroshi Motomura at UCLA School of Law. Legal arguments could claim the executive orders discriminate against a particular religion, which would be unconstitutional, he said.
"His comments during the campaign and a number of people on his team focused very much on religion as the target," Motomura said.
Stephen Legomsky, who was chief counsel at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Obama administration, said the president had the authority to limit refugee admissions and the issuance of visas to specific countries if the administration determined it was in the public's interest.
'From a legal standpoint, it would be exactly within his legal rights,' said Legomsky, a professor at Washington University School of Law in St. Louis. 'But from a policy standpoint, it would be terrible idea because there is such an urgent humanitarian need right now for refugees.'
To block entry from the designated countries, Trump is likely to instruct the US State Department to stop issuing visas to people from those nations, according to sources familiar with the visa process.(Daily Mail)

Gazprom Neft completes summer sea shipments from Novoportovskoye oilfield
Gazprom Neft has completed the first season of maritime shipments from the Novoportovskoye oilfield in the Yamal Peninsula, with four tankers — carrying more than 100,000 tonnes of the new "Novy Port" oil — despatched to date.
Novoportovskoye oilfield, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region
The first maritime shipments of oil from the Novoportovskoye field were initiated in August 2014. A 103km pipeline connects the field to Cape Kammeny, where a major terminal for year-round despatch of oil is to be built.
The shipment of oil by sea was undertaken in the summer of 2014 on a temporary basis (consistent with project plans), following an ecological impact assessment and having secured approval at public hearings, with industrial and ecological safety paramount throughout every stage of transportation. Total volumes extracted since the beginning of the year are in the order of 150,000 tonnes.
The Novoportovskoye field is one of the most significant currently under development in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region. Recoverable C1 and C2 reserves comprise more than 250 million tonnes of crude and condensate, and more than 320 billion cubic metres of gas.
The qualities of the new oil, which has been given the name "Novy Port", exceed those of Brent crude, with a low-sulphur content of around 0.1 percent. Prior to August 2014 shipments from the Novoportovskoye field were only possible during the winter season, with crude transported to a rail station at Payuta for onward transportation to consumers; as at early 2014, distribution from Novy Port via winter routes amounted to around 35,000 tonnes of oil.
Construction of the trans-shipment terminal will allow oil to be transported by sea, round the clock. The possibility of arranging uninterrupted transportation by sea was confirmed in the spring of 2011, when Gazprom Neft specialists aboard the Vaygach nuclear icebreaker completed an experimental passage from Sabetta (a port on the north—east of the Yamal peninsula) to Cape Kamenny, 400 kilometres to the south.
Gazprom Neft successfully completed a programme of drilling under pilot field development In September 2013, with commercial production commencing in the summer of 2014. Production facilities at Novy Port have been built consistent with best international practice and directed at minimising environmental impacts, while ensuring fully reliable performance under challenging climatic conditions. Full field development at Novoportovskoye is expected to be complete by 2016.

When I was a little girl, going to McDonald's for a happy meal was one of my favorite things. Getting a happy meal was a big deal! It was a meal, especially prepared for me, with a prize/toy inside and happiness included? Oh Mr. Ronald McDonald, you have really outdone yourself sir. How could he have been so genius as to put a smile in a box, in the form of a cheeseburger, french fries, orange hi-c, and miniature figurine or beanie baby (do y'all remember how crazy people got about those?)??? GENIUS, I TELL YOU! GENIUS! At least to me, at the time, it was. Going to McDonald's to get a happy meal was something that I always looked forward to, however, I did not always get the experience I'd hoped for. The experience I hoped for was what I saw advertised, which generally included a smiling, happy-go-lucky McDonald's employee who was glad to put the "happy" in my happy meal. But often times what I actually got was no eye contact, no smiles, no "happy"...just a meal. This did not sit well with me, at all. I didn't even care about the food. My greatest concern was that the happy people that I saw in the commercials were not the happy people that I met in the drive-thru. I felt cheated...so...I decided to do something about. One day, I told my mom, "When I grow up, I am going to work at McDonald's, just so I can smile at every customer that comes through the drive-thru." I don't remember my mom's response, but I'm sure she was praying, "Dear Lord, please let her grow out of that." Well...I didn't. I didn't grow out of it. As a matter of fact, as soon as I was old enough to work, my first job was at McDonald's on Veteran's Parkway in Columbus, Ga. I was excited to have a job and proud to be working at McDonald's. It was time to make my dream come true!
I ended up working for McDonald's for a total of five years. I saw lots of Big Macs, sausage biscuits, apple pies, McFlurries, McChickens, and of course french fries. And I also saw lots of smiles. I hadn't forgotten my childhood disappointment that I had turned into a dream. Everyday that I worked, I put forth my best effort and shared all of the smiles and laughs that I could. As a matter of fact, I smiled so much, people would ask me why I worked there, and I would tell them, "because I always wanted to make people smile in the drive-thru." I was very proud of my job- I was happy to put the "happy" in someone's happy meal. Such a seemingly small gesture, but you'd be surprised what a smile can do in the fast-paced, demanding world of fast food.
On days that my dreams seem a little questionable or far fetched and I find myself pondering my purpose, I take myself back to McDonald's. I remember that, as a child, I saw a problem and I set a goal to be the change I wanted to see, and in due time, I reached that goal.
As I reminisce on my childhood McDonald's dream, I am reminded that my dreams and goals are totally attainable...no matter how big, small, far-fetched, or uncanny. If you want to see change, be change.
