  • Singular Act 2 Album Download So Exciting Sabrina Carpenter Confirms Her ‘Singular: Act II’ Album Is Coming Soon
    singular act 2 album download So Exciting Sabrina Carpenter Confirms Her ‘Singular: Act II’ Album Is Coming Soon. Get ready for new music, you guys! Sabrina Carpenter just confirmed that her Singular: Act II album is coming soon, and a new single is dropping on May 3, 2019. That’s right! While hitting up the red carpet at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards, the 19-year-old teased new music, starting with her next single. “I just may have teased the next song coming in a couple, I don’t wanna say days, I don’t wanna say hours… I don’t wanna say minutes, but soon,” she revealed to Billboard before the awards show. “Very soon.” Soon, you guys. So soon, in fact, that she’s since posted about the single, titled “Exhale,” on her Instagram! “exhale,” she wrote. “A little track from act 2. Everywhere tonight at midnight.” OMG. NGL, we’re probably the most excited we’ve ever been for her to put out something new. Plus, we’re not alone! The Girl Meets World actress revealed she’s just as stoked as we are for the “Exhale” to come out, which is partially due to the fact that it’s the most deep and personal track she’s ever released. “I’m very excited for everyone to hear it,” she said. “I think this song that I’m releasing is probably my most personal song, which is exciting.” NGL, we can’t wait to hear Sabrina get a little more personal — especially since it’ll give fans a more honest and vulnerable window into her life.

  • Overrun by Waste
    Positive trend continues in EPA report on toxic polluters By Alex Breitler, Record Staff Writer Stockton Record, Sunday, March 22, 2009 STOCKTON - Toxic pollution from some of San Joaquin County's larger industrial facilities has decreased again, continuing a trend that dates back at least several years, according to federal data released last week. Emissions to air and water dipped 3 percent in 2007, adding to an overall 44 percent decline since 2002, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Air and water pollution emissions declined across California, which EPA officials said could be the result of many factors, including businesses closing down or installing new technology to comply with tougher environmental regulations. The EPA's Toxics Release Inventory is not a complete record of any region's pollution problems; not every industry is required to report. And in the San Joaquin Valley, the biggest polluters aren't factories or power plants, but cars and trucks, which account for about 70 percent to 80 percent of the Valley's air woes. Still, it's "absolutely true" that industrial emissions have dropped perhaps tenfold in the past couple of decades because of numerous rules and regulations, said Dave Warner of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. The EPA's emission inventory does not gauge whether the public is at risk from any of the 41 facilities in San Joaquin County that were required to report in 2007. It merely counts how much of each chemical or heavy metal was released. An EPA spokeswoman said the inventory, available online, "arms communities with powerful information" about sources of pollution.
