Lexus launches the IS-C for the Singaporean market
By admin in car July 2, 2009 0 Comment
Toyota-owned luxury auto brand Lexus, has officially launched the IS-C, which is a 2-door convertible version of the IS sedan. The IS-C features a 4GR-FSE 2.5 liter V6 that is also found in the sedan model. Also called the IS250C, the powerplant in the top-less car is able to pump out 205HP at 6,400 revs and 252Nm of torque at 4,800 revs. The engine, coupled with a 6 speed automatic, features an aluminum construction and comes with dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i). It allows the IS-C to hit 100 km/h in 8.4 seconds.
Just like the current BMW 3-Series Cabriolet, the IS-C is offered with a lightweight aluminum alloy foldable hard top, which takes about 20 seconds to be folded down. Apparently, you can even store a golf bag in the boot, while having the top down.
Featuring a gross weight of 2075 kilograms, the IS-C features a double wishbone suspension up front, while the rear comes with a multi link setup. Offered in two trim levels, the IS-C and the IS-C Luxury, it comes standard with, among others, cruise control, Smart Entry & Start System, Part Assist, Lexus' Premium Sound System with an in-dash 6-disc CD auto-changer and 8 speakers with MP3 and WMA playability (iPod auxiliary port), heated and 8-way front power seats and more.
The Luxury variant has a couple of extras, including front seats with memory (3 settings), front seat air conditioning, low beam discharge headlamps with Intelligent AFS (Adaptive Front-Lighting System) and auto-leveling function as well as a sports accelerator pedal, brake pedal and foot rest.
The safety system of the IS-C is made up by the VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management) system, traction control, vehicle stability control, ABS with EBD, Brake Assist system, Hill-start Assist Control, auto wiper system, front, knee, head and torso airbags for front passengers, Whiplash Injury Lessening for front seats, ISOFIX mounting points and more. The base Lexus IS-C can be yours for S$ 188,000, while the Luxury variant carries a S$ 208,000 price tag (both inclusive of COE).

Warty Pigs Arrive In Pittsburgh For New Zoo Exhibit
June 4, 2015 / 6:41 PM / CBS Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The pig population has increased from zero to three, at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium.
Dr. Ginger Sturgeon, director of animal health, says the Visayan warty pigs were born at the San Diego Zoo. She listed them by name:
"We have Pearl, she's a 9-year-old female. Then, we have Dakila and Calaya, they are both 8-year-old females."
With long snouts, black fur, and Mohawks peppered with white, they like to ham it up, now and then.
"They're very inquisitive animals," Dr. Sturgeon adds. "And what's fun about them is they like to play on dry land, they like to play in a mud wallow. They also are known to swim. So we're going to have a nice big pool for them on exhibit."
Meanwhile, work continues on a new exhibit area called "The Islands," which will include the pigs and four other endangered species.
"The Islands features five different waterfalls, all the way around an island space," says zoo president Barbara Baker. "The visitors are able to get all around that space as well, to see the animals at all different levels."
Warty pigs hail from the Vasayan Islands in the Philippines, where their population is critically endangered by loss of forest habitat.
"Ninety-five percent of the population has now gone extinct," Dr. Sturgeon says. "So they are an animal that we really want to conserve the species."
To help counter the trend, the zoo hopes to introduce a male in the fall. As for eating, these are very picky pigs.
"These ladies are a bit particular," says their keeper. "The main part of their diet is root vegetables: carrots, turnips, sweet potatoes. Anything that's grown in the ground, that's what they eat. And then they supplement their diet with Timothy Hay and different lettuces."
No word on whether they take their dressing on the side.

There are so many beautiful options for patterned cardstock, and when you mix together two patterns with colors that complement them, you can create a really unique piece of artwork that will absolutely grab your guests' attention.
Cut about 20 even 1-inch strips of various colors of cardstock and patterned paper. Measurements are for an 8 x 10 in frame, but the number of strips may vary according to frame size.
Lay about 8 strips side by side on a flat surface. You can either weave the papers by themselves and move it once finished or do it on top of a frame mat (in which case, you'll want to place paper strips upside down; see photo below Step 3).
Begin weaving another strip of paper through the 8 pieces currently laid out. The first piece will be the most difficult. Continue weaving until you have a large enough piece to fill the frame. If needed, use clothespins to hold the top strips in place and make weaving subsequent strips easier.
Carefully place the woven paper art inside of the frame mat. To prevent movement, you may want to tape the top and bottom pieces to the mat, particularly when the frame is larger than the paper.
Then it's ready to display! Not only is this DIY incredibly inexpensive to make, it comes together in less than 10 minutes, so filling your walls with art doesn't have to be difficult at all.


Maple Mountain travelled to Uintah for a non conference match up. The Game started out slow with a defensive battle by both teams. Maple Mountain's Cameron Dorny found receiver Collin Reid for the first maple mountain score in the second quarter. The PAT was missed.
Uintah came back strong in the end of the third quarter and Maple Mountain had a touchdown called back for a penalty. Then in the fourth quarter Uintah scored. Maple Mountain rallied one more time with another Dorny to Reid connection. With just under a minute to play Maple Mountain had a perfectly executed onside kick by Marcus Krommenhoek. Maple Mountain came us short and ran out of time before they could score.
Maple Mountain finished the game with 296 All purpose yards.
Maple Mountain is now 0-2 overall and will face Spanish Fork at home on September 1st.

July 2021 horoscope: what's in store for your zodiac sign?
Your July 2021 horoscope is here—and it's all about l-o-v-e this month...

By Athena Antares
Wondering what your July 2021 horoscope has in store for you? We have turned the page! With Summer now in full swing and communication at full speed, July is a month that will light our inner fire, while also permitting us to rest and go within. We begin the second part of 2021 under the Sun in Cancer, the zodiac sign that is most connected to family, our roots, and our home. Around the July 9th New Moon, many of us will feel the need to invest in home remodeling and DYI projects as a way of creating a safe haven and sanctuary.
A lot of our focus will also center around relationships—most likely romantic. With both cosmic lovers—Venus and Mars—traveling in the skies of Leo for most of July, there will be a deep need to show off and feel seen. Whether single or already taken, July 13th is a date to watch as these planets join forces to set off some real fireworks! And still, healing within relationships will be taking place as Chiron prepares to go retrograde in Aries around this time. This will feel like an intense and powerful energy that shifts our focus towards healing emotional wounds and self-love.
The energy shifts in the last week of the month as the bright Sun begins its yearly tour in fire sign Leo. By this time, we will be ready to trade emotional intensity for a more playful and fun energy. However, situations do come to a climax when this month's Full Moon rises in the sky on July 23rd. Since communication will be tricky around this lunation, it will be best to avoid intense exchanges and instead, embody the Aquarian trait of individuality by focusing on ourselves. A big awakening is set to happen during this time, personally and collectively!

For you Aries, the most important astrological event of the month is Chiron's midmonth retrograde turn in your very own sign. From now until the remainder of the year (December 19th), its influence will be about reviewing the progress you have been making in your own healing. In no way is this a superficial transit, as it is meant to expose some of the deepest revelations around the ways you see and assert yourself. Have you given yourself the opportunity to heal, Aries? It's never too late to focus on giving enough space and time to heal old wounds.

With your ruler, Venus, spending most of the month in Leo, your mood will be bright, bold, and even a little dramatic. Whether single or taken, romance will be calling your attention as Venus meets Mars on July 13th. If you've been flirting with someone and have been wondering if things will solidify with them, things could be clear by then. Lastly, as witchy Black Moon Lilith ends its transit in your sign around July 18th, you could very well benefit from her psychic energy by consulting the Tarot or any other type of divination leading up to this date.
What a trip it's been, Gemini! June was a month that brought so much change your way, and the beginning of July is no exception. Keep your wits about you around July 6th as Mercury in your sign clashes with confusing Neptune, bringing the end of an important story. The rest of July will be about communication for you—just how you like it. You are about to discover a new way of sharing your ideas with the world. Lastly, this month's Full Moon in air sign pal Aquarius brings the end of an important project, and perhaps the desire to learn a new subject.
Happy birthday, Cancer! With the bright Sun in your sign for most of the month, your energy is getting revitalized as you begin another cycle. The New Moon in your sign on July 9th is an excellent time to set goals for the year ahead. Don't hold back when thinking big and going after what you deserve—especially in the money department. Communication guru Mercury enters your sign on July 11th, gifting you the ability of mind and the gift of gab for the next two weeks. Use them to your advantage by asking for a raise, promotion, or landing a big project.
For you, Leo, Cancer season is usually a time of rest and relaxation in which the cosmos asks you to go within to prepare for your next solar return. However, with Venus and Mars flying in your fiery sign most of the month, you will also be in the mood to socialize and date. The trick lays in finding a healthy balance between being social and giving yourself some "me" time. Once the Sun enters your sign on July 22nd, the energy builds up to a powerful ending within a relationship brought by the powerful Full Moon in Aquarius.
With your ruler, Mercury, spending most of the month in watery, emotional Cancer, this is the perfect time to enjoy some time off and even go on vacation. If you're not able to get away, this energy can instead be focused on networking with people with whom you can partner to reach your professional goals. This is especially true during this month's New Moon, which will light your house of friendships and community. However, the introspective cosmic vibe deepens even further once Leo season arrives on July 22nd, hinting at the need to trade "productivity" for rest and relaxation.
The month ahead is ideal for focusing your energy on your career and professional ambitions as you feel the wind at your back, Libra. The July 9th New Moon in Cancer is perfect for pitching a new project, implementing new processes, and even asking for the raise you deserve. Chiron's retrograde turn in your sector of partnerships around midmonth hints at the need to speak your mind around a sensitive subject that's been holding you back for quite some time. Allow yourself to go there, Libra—rocking the boat never sounds fun, but this time, it might be necessary.
You are very in tune with the vibes of Cancer season, dear Scorpio. July is the perfect month to take a trip to a destination you've always wanted to visit—or alternatively, sign up for a class or workshop. Venus and Mars in Leo hint at a new beginning in your career sector happening around midmonth. If you've been considering making changes to your job or business, this could be the month in which you finally begin implementing them. Lastly, this month's Full Moon happens in your sector of home and family life, most likely bringing a certain situation to a climax and even an end.
Neptune retrograde is here—here's how to deal
June was intense and busy, Sag, so you will be glad to know that in July, you will get the opportunity to rest and breathe. Jupiter, your planetary ruler, is now retrograde in Pisces, asking you to slow down and reflect on all the change and growth you've been experiencing. Even if it hasn't been reflected externally, you're growing internally, so allow yourself to savor this special moment in time. Once the Sun enters fire pal Leo, your energy will be back, and you will be ready to rock and explore new ideas and places.
For you Cap, Cancer season is a time to focus on your one-on-one relationships, romantic as well business. This month is a little bit less about you and more about striking the perfect balance in this part of your life. Around midmonth, Chiron's retrograde turn in your home sector could bring your attention to an unresolved family or childhood issue. As uncomfortable as it can be, dealing with it can bring a sense of security and healing your way, so don't shy away from facing it. Lastly, the Aquarius Full Moon will bring a money situation to a climax at the month's end.
With cosmic lovers Venus and Mars stirring up the energy in your romance sector, you'll be a hot commodity on the dating scene, Aquarius. Regardless of single or taken, you're changing the way you approach relationships, and July brings a new beginning—or perhaps a new lover—your way. The July 23rd Full Moon is happening in your sign, bringing a personal issue to a climax. On July 28th, lucky Jupiter retrogrades back into your sign, bringing you a rare opportunity for a do-over. The next few months are key when it comes to growing and expanding yourself—so make the best of them.
With both of your planetary rulers, Jupiter and Neptune, recently going retrograde in your sign, you're receiving signals from the universe to go within and get in touch with your spirituality. And guess what? Asteroid Pallas is also going retrograde in your sensitive sign on July 14th. For the past four months, this badass asteroid has been teaching you the power and wisdom of strategy. For the next four months, these new learnings will be put to test. Don't let insecurity get the best of you, Pisces. This is just the beginning of a major transformation for you!

I met Steve when he spoke this spring at a WCBS and The Wall Street Journal sponsored Small Business Breakfast in Connecticut. He's a fascinating guy with an interesting background. The story of how he became the spokesman for Jobs on WCBS is a story to itself.
Take a listen to Steve's thoughts on vacations from his recent Podcast.
Then weigh in on your vacation plans.
You never know when and where a bottle neck will occur. I had arrived in plenty of time for the new officer training class. All I wanted to do was to meet with a friend before the morning session began. But the only entrance into the meeting room was blocked by the registration table.
At the time it was a little annoying, but I finally worked my way through, registering as I passed the table. Perhaps that was the idea. But the meeting was being held in a private company's conference room and the building was back from the road on a tree-lined campus. I don't think they were afraid of gate crashers.
After almost three hours of presentations, we broke for lunch. Guess where the lunch table was positioned? Just outside of the only exit from the meeting room. By this time, getting out for many was very urgent. There had been no bathroom break.
As I struggled to maintain my composure while the line slowly moved towards the exit, I made the attached sketch.
I wonder how many times this happens? Are there bottlenecks in your organization? Are they merely inconvenient or do they impact productivity and cost money? What types of bottle necks have you seen?
I was traveling on the New Jersey Turnpike yesterday afternoon. I had gotten on at exit 7A and was heading south to exit 6 to take the Pennsylvania Turnpike west to Route 81. The view on the turnpike in South Jersey is decidedly different from the urban, industrial view many associate with "the turnpike". Through the trees you can see homes, shopping centers, even the occasional pond or stream. But what caught my eye on this trip was a large sign in front of a building.
The sign belongs to a company that specializes in Forklift, Construction equipment, Crane, Standby Power, and Material Handling Sales Servicing the Mid-Atlantic. If I were ever in the market for any of those services, I would give my business to a company that felt that way about their employees.
I was still thinking about the sign minutes later as I was forced to slow down due to the heavy volume of traffic ( 4th of July vacationers heading home?). I flashed back to when I owned Strawcastle Snax, a vending company in Williamsburg, Virginia. I had the good fortune of landing the vending machine account for the Anheuser-Busch Brewery. My machines were in the employee lounge, so I entered through the employee door on the side of the Brewery.
Ok, it's been over 20 years since I've seen the sign. The sign may have said "Greatest". But the point is the same. Management considered their employees to be a very valuable asset. While servicing the account, I remember asking employees about the sign and how they were treated. They confirmed that the sentiment was real, just like the beer foam that washed across the production floor when they bottled Budweiser.
As a consumer, I would want to do business with companies that had this type of attitude towards employees. As a manager, there are so many advantages to this type of philosophy. Besides the obvious "golden rule" ideas, there are productivity gains from creating a work environment where employees feel valued.
Managers, I encourage you to look at how you view your employees. If you don't work with "Heroes", then you may have some work to do.
So you want to be more organized and have a list of things to accomplish. Now what?
Apply these seven techniques and you will find you have taken charge of your To Do List.
Are You Pencil Whipping Your Checklist?
I've said more than once that Managers need to be organized, to have checklists for their day-to-day activities. Used properly, checklists allow a manager to inspect many different areas they oversee and then check off that they have looked at a specific task, project, deadline, etc.
Yet the danger of checklists is they can become routine. Managers can get busy with an employee, a customer, a supplier and spend vast amounts of time on one task. Now it's getting near quitting time, so out comes the checklist and; check, check, check and done. The checklist may be completed, but the tasks have not. If you are doing this day after day, you may be wondering why the checklist isn't working and why the same results occur.
Make today the day you stop Pencil Whipping your checklist. Take the time to actually review each item you have listed. Stop making excuses for not doing the really important (and perhaps uncomfortable) parts of your job. Remember, you set up a checklist to remind (force) yourself to review certain things. They are on the list in the first place because of their importance to your success and the success of your company.
Join me as I renew my commitment to not pencil whipping my daily checklist. The outcome will be different, you'll feel better and so will your employees.


Have you ever had the experience of bringing your vehicle to a car mechanic and having an exceptionally troublesome time managing the technician? Some auto mechanics are exceptionally hard to work with, while others are not difficult to work with. Some don't know anyplace close as much as they ought to, while others know an incredible arrangement. How, then, do you go about picking an car mechanic in your general vicinity to trust your vehicle with?
The most essential thing to recollect is that you ought to never select an auto technician indiscreetly. Individuals who carelessly lift their workman frequently end up lamenting the choice, as they get charged much higher costs and need to manage work that is not anyplace close proficient. That is the reason its critical to go about picking an car mechanic when you get another vehicle, regardless of the possibility that your auto needn't bother with any work on it. Thusly, if your vehicle does need deal with it, you'll know precisely where you're going to bring your vehicle to, so you don't need to choose a mechanic rashly and end up thinking twice about it.
Who ever thought about a mechanics work space being neatly? The vast majority of us accept that all mechanics have dingy, messy, sloppy work places, yet that is not so much so. While most carports may dependably appear to have a slim layer of earth or oil on everything, that is not out of the ordinary. There is, on the other hand, no reason for a mechanic to not have a sorted out carport. They ought to know where each one of their instruments is so they can get it immediately, and in addition the majority of the parts that they have available. They ought to likewise have a clean place for the individuals who are holding up for their vehicle to get repaired to sit at. On the off chance that your mechanics carport is grimy, disorderly, and is utilizing more established gear, you may need to contemplate working with an alternate carport.
One thing a great many people overlook when picking an car mechanic is that they work in the administration business. This implies that they have to give great administration to you, their client. When you're taking a gander at what workman you're going to choose to be your technician, take particular note on how the mechanic, and any staff that works at the carport, treats you. It is safe to say that they are courteous to you? Do they answer any inquiries that you have? A decent carport ought to have workers who understand that you are the one paying their check, and who treat you the way that a client ought to be dealt with.
Picking an car mechanics can be a troublesome thing, particularly in case you're unsure about how a vehicle functions. Before picking a technician, take in some more about your vehicle, for example, about how the motor works, and how the brakes work and ought to sound, with the goal that you not just perceive when something is happening, however so that you're ready to manufacture a fellowship with your new mechanic also.
Is a good service is what your car really need?


Extra Information: Having to be silent at 11:30 on the most sociable nights of the week is slightly unfair. In addition to the idea - the level of noise should be a factor in the level of discipline. My flatmate has been put on a final warning because security could hear him, and a few other people, talking in his room. Which in comparison to a house party is not near the level of disturbance but still the same outcome.

Gov. Phil Murphy declares state of emergency for winter storm
Blades restored to iconic Long Branch WindMill restaurant
Dan Radel
@DanielRadelAPP
LONG BRANCH - The WindMill restaurant is a windmill again now that blades shorn off in a gusty December storm have been restored.
The owners of the iconic, old-fashioned hot dog and burger joint said the place just wasn't the same without them.
"We've had so many phone calls from people asking us if they're going back up. It's so much a part of the town," said Rena Levine Levy, who owns the restaurant with her brother Steve Levine.
The 50-foot-wide blades went up Monday, to the sounds of honking horns from drivers passing by its location in the city's quaint West End — a place of small businesses and residences one block from the beach.
A small crowd collected on the sidewalks to watch or take pictures as a 100-foot crane hoisted the blades up to their perch 60 feet off the ground.
"If you take this away, what's really left of the old West End? This was the place to be. Everyone hung out here," said Michael Schlenger, 49, of Long Branch, who along with his brother Dan, 48, were among the bystanders.
The blades came crashing down the night of Dec. 28 during rain and 30 mph wind gusts, as reported by the National Weather Service. No one was injured in the event.
MORE: Windmill falls off the WindMill restaurant
"It was a nasty night. Luckily it fell when nobody was on the street," Levine said.
The blades were not the WindMill's originals from 1963, the year the business opened as the WindMill Drive In.
Those were taken down last year and replaced by newly fabricated blades with LED lights that flash 13 patterns: red, white and blue for July 4th, for instance, or green and white, the colors of the school district's Green Wave mascot.
The new blades, constructed by Monmouth Fabricating, were made out of aluminium, versus the original steel, and made to match the original design. They were first installed in October, only to be knocked down in the December storm.

The West End location is the original WindMill restaurant, part of a chain that has grown to seven locations. It is the only one with the namesake windmill. The Levine family purchased it in 1976.
"Back then when it was built, windmills must have been a theme. There were several businesses that had them," said Levine.

Over the last six months or so we've been flying a lot with Aer Lingus, so much so that we managed to sample pretty much everything on the inflight menu! For those of you unaware Aer Lingus does not include food or drinks on flights across Europe. Instead, you can pre-order from a wide range of options or make a purchase inflight. For further information about their European menu check here.
Menus have been designed in collaboration with Clodagh McKenna a local celebrity chef and most ingredients have been sourced from all over Ireland! The best part of flying with Aer Lingus is their cabin crew; they just can't do enough for you and are ever so friendly.
Note that the airline recently changed their pre-order program and these dishes are no longer available.
The Irish Breakfast €9.99 – Sausages, bacon, black and white pudding, tomato, hash browns, bread, juice, tea or coffee.
Leek and Cheese Quiche €7.50 – Cheddar onion and leek quiche which is served with the delicious Ballymaloe relish, rocket salad, Lilly O'Briens treat plus tea or coffee.
Gluten Free Cottage Pie €7.50 – Consisting of Irish beef, onions, carrots, peas, gravy and mash! For dessert enjoy a strawberry and vanilla cream dessert plus tea or coffee.
Succulent Steak €18.50 – (Note that this meal is only available for pre-order on long-haul routes, but I managed to get a tasting inflight on a European flight, thanks to the Aer Lingus team) This dish comes with smoked salmon, cucumber pickle, aioli & McCambridge's brown bread. The steak is served with gratin, creamed spinach, mushrooms & a red wine jus. For dessert, there's a raspberry pannacotta, Lily O'Brien sweet plus tea or coffee and red or white wine.
Gluten Free Snack Pack €5.00 – Includes Belgian chocolate biscuit cake, cheese, and crackers, nut mix.
Irish Breakfast – Typically Irish with all the right ingredients and very tasty, this breakfast is a favorite amongst passengers and is available onboard until 11 am if you want to eat this later in the day (like I did at 5 pm) you'll need to pre-order it.
Leek and Cheese Quiche – Was served hot and the relish really brings out the wonderful flavors of the cheese and leek.
Cottage Pie – Reminded me of a home cooked meal, full of flavour this traditional Irish dish hit the spot and wasn't too heavy.
Macaroni and Cheese – This meal tasted a little bland was probably my least favorite dish however I realise that it's made for children's tastes, not adults.
Succulent Steak – Looks can be deceiving. This steak was very juicy, tender and excellent quality, the potato gratin was delicious, and the starter salad was fresh. If I were flying long haul with Aer Lingus, I would use the meal upgrade service.
Gluten Free Pack – includes products from the Foods of Athenry bakery in the West of Ireland, the Belgian chocolate cake was divine and the other contents were of high quality, not your typical airline snack box!
All meals offered excellent value for money, have been well thought out and give you a taste of Irish dishes inspired from around the country. Coupled with down to earth and friendly inflight service, I think this is a perfect mix for a great inflight meal experience.

Solar plus storage cleared to land at JFK airport
The 12.3 MW solar installation will create a carport canopy, providing cover to around 3,000 parking spaces. Excess power will flow to the grid and storage will support AirLink JFK rail shuttle service.

The agency that operates John F. Kennedy International Airport has authorized the development, construction, and operation of one of New York State's largest onsite solar plus storage systems.
The 12.3 MW solar installation will create a carport canopy for around 3,000 parking spaces located on the southern section of one of the airport's long-term parking lots.
The system includes 5 to 7.5 MW of battery storage, which will support AirTrain JFK. The entire project is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 5,300 metric tons annually.
"Utilizing solar energy is a proven, industry-leading approach to reducing both costs and emissions while driving economic activity in the region," said Kevin O'Toole, chairman of the Port Authority Board of Commissioners, which operates New York City's three airports, among other transportation assets.
The Port Authority partnered with the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and issued a Request for Proposals for the development in April 2019. A preferred development team was selected an announced in late 2019.
The project team comprises SunPower for project delivery, and Goldman Sachs Renewable Power LLC for project financing. The team will pay the full up-front construction cost of the project, which is around $56 million. Construction will begin in 2021 and is expected to be completed in 2022.
Once completed, sthe electricity will serve small businesses and low- and moderate-income residents in the surrounding communities. Participants will be eligible to receive credits on their utility bills through the New York State Community Solar Program.
The project is a milestone in achieving the Port Authority's sustainability agenda, and is one of 12 initiatives known as the "clean dozen." Together, the projects are designed to meet 35% and 80% GHG reductions by 2025 and 2050, respectively.
Solar projects are currently in development across Port Authority facilities, including a 5 MW solar parking canopy at Newark Airport, a 1.5 MW rooftop solar array on LaGuardia Airport's Terminal B Garage, and a 600 kW solar installation on a rail service warehouse rooftop.

Index withdraws from Truth to Power events
Earlier today, Index on Censorship became aware that the organiser of an event, of which we are a media partner, disinvited Julie Bindel as a speaker after other participants accused her of inciting hatred towards transgender people and complained about her involvement.
We recognise that the event organiser Jeremy Goldstein has apologised for his mistake and offered to reinstate Bindel on the panel and she has refused.
Index believes that all speech – eccentric, contentious, heretical, unwelcome, provocative, bigoted – should be protected unless it directly incites violence.
Index on Censorship will no longer support this event.
Index urges UN Secretary-General to demand member states respect human rights following Ruhollah Zam execution
Following the execution on Saturday in Iran of Ruhollah Zam, an activist and journalist who had been accused of using a messaging app to stir up dissent, Index call on the UN Secretary-General to demand members respect the UN Declaration on Human Rights

Thank you so much for this. Women are being silenced on an unprecedented scale for defending their own sex-based rights. The censoring of progressive feminist thinking is leading society down some very dangerous paths. I don't believe this is a trans liberation movement. I believe trans people's vulnerabilities are being exploited to advance the cause of misogyny.
Mary Hinsley says:
Thank you, in a world where Women speaking to and for Women are being No Platformed, it is vital that organisations and institutions stand firm on their principles of free speech and open free debate. So many organisation and institutions are fearful of their funding and perceived reputations they are in fact harming and dictating what Women are allowed to say this is dictatorial and regressive in the 21rst Century. So again thank you for standing by your beliefs.
Julian Vigo says:
Wow! I am shocked that an organisation has finally done the right thing! Thank you so much for supporting free speech (and logic)!
susan flindt says:
Thank you for taking a stand for freedom of speech.
That actually feels quite huge. With Liberty and Amnesty specifically excluding gender critical voices and calling for women to be shunned, its refreshing to find that there is a group defending freedom of speech.
Tessa McInnes says:
Thank you for taking a stand. You are one of the very few organisations to draw attention to the oppression of no- platforming. It's good that the organisers of this event have apologised and offered to reinstate. But that is inadequate. They should considered the issue fully and calmly before acting upon unfounded, malicious accusations. It is deplorable.

Welcome from Principal Jessica Stevenson
UTC Sheffield Proposed Year 9 Intake Consultation
Jessica Stevenson joined UTC Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park in January 2020, bringing over 19 years' experience in education. Previously Director of Inclusion at Mercia Learning Trust in Sheffield, she has two Master's degrees: one in Fine Art from Nottingham Trent University and one in Education Leadership and Management from the University of Nottingham. Jessica has extensive experience in delivering high quality provision and is a member of the British Psychological Society. She is a well-respected education leader within the city and a strong advocate of high quality education for all.
Contact Principal Jessica Stevenson: adminolp@utcsheffield.org.uk
Welcome to UTC Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park campus. I am excited to be leading this visionary centre for technical and academic education, with its emphasis on preparing students for jobs of the future.
Our specialisms of Health Sciences, Sport Science and Computing, combining technical qualifications alongside GCSEs and A Levels, have been chosen specifically to address key skills shortages, not just in the UK but globally. Not only do they give students an excellent route into existing employment and higher education, they also open up future opportunities in the rapidly growing health and medical technology sectors where specialisms are combining to support health and wellbeing and combat major illnesses.
We have the benefit of being located on the Olympic Legacy Park which is at the heart of a range of new developments for world-class research and innovation involving both Sheffield Hallam University and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. As the name suggests, the Park is also a hub of professional-level sporting facilities including a 3G pitch and is bordered by the English Institute of Sport and iceSheffield. All of these facilities provide us with rich opportunities to collaborate and enrich our curriculum.
I am passionate about the opportunities that education can bring to young people, expanding their horizons and giving them the best possible life chances. The UTC has already been Ofsted graded 'Good', showing the quality of education that is provided here, and I plan to continue that emphasis on academic as well as technical excellence. The level of support from local and regional employers, including both of Sheffield's leading universities, has undoubtedly played a major part in our success to date. I look forward to continuing to work with our employer and university partners, alongside staff, students and governors, to ensure that we provide high quality, careers-focused education and an outstanding student experience.
"I am excited to join a trailblazing technical school that is ensuring students get the academic and technical skills that universities and employers need. I am looking forward to building on the fantastic work that has been achieved so far."

Stand-up comedy used to demand a straightforward set of skills: you presented yourself on stage with a few jokes you'd prepared earlier; you swiftly parried heckles with wit and vim; you perhaps demonstrated a variety of amusing regional accents, and on the sum of these parts you were judged to be either funny or not, though it helped if you were a bit on the chubby side too.
The intrusion of technology into the live comedy circuit, as in so many other arenas, has proved a mixed blessing. It doesn't matter how funny you are or how well-crafted your material if your interactive video wall is on the fritz, and even if it's working perfectly, striking the optimum balance is still fraught with hazards.
You can't help feeling slightly cheated if you come out of a live gig in which the best bits were the video clips; you might as well have stayed in and watched telly. But in the right hands, when it doesn't dominate or break down, video technology - as favoured this year by, among others, Noble and Silver, Cyderdelic and even the Cambridge Footlights - can be incorporated to great comic effect.
The best current example on the Fringe is Dan Antopolski, nominated last year for the Perrier and for Best Newcomer, whose new show combines inventive video clips with a confident, engaging delivery and good old-fashioned ability to think on his feet - particularly impressive when confronted with the unexpected, such as a happily chuntering baby in the audience. Antopolski, who has something of David Baddiel about him - if Baddiel were thinner and better looking - trades in anecdotes that develop into wonderfully convoluted and surreal flights of fancy with echoes of Paul Merton's early television series, building up to sentences that you are guaranteed never to hear again for the rest of your life: 'If Ann Widdecombe and I are still talking current affairs it's a bit early in the evening for my erection to be appropriate - thanks, Orinoco.'
Between stories, the premise is Antopolski's attempts to tell a Diana joke through constant interruptions from a knock on the door behind him, which opens to reveal an enviable cast of cameos - feted newcomer Daniel Kitson, John Oliver as an oleaginous journalist, Lee Mack and Frank Skinner, and a magnificent performance by Simon Day from The Fast Show lamenting his waning glory. Most intriguing for Luddites is how he gets the video to appear on the screen in the doorway - it's not projected from the back - but the conversations with his virtual guests are impeccably timed, and the songs are a bonus - Antopolski also has an impressive line in Ben Folds-esque ragtime piano.
It might be argued that a one-man show that relies on the contributions of other comics for its funniest moments has in some way missed the point, but Antopolski is not alone in this trend. Andy Zaltzman Versus The Dog of Doom - one of this year's most impressive new shows - almost qualifies as a double act, featuring once again the cameo talents of the ubiquitous John Oliver (who also, spookily, looks and sounds like a younger David Baddiel).
Zaltzman has the advantage of looking comical to start with - an off-duty clown with a low-key, deadpan delivery - but has the distinction of having created an hour of unashamedly cerebral material that nevertheless had his audience hooting with laughter, almost without respite. Arming his audience with voting cards displaying his own face on one side, and the slavering Dog on the other, Zaltzman boldly contemplates genetic modification, the Middle East conflict, rail disasters, the manipulative powers of the press, Republican politics, Ruskin and Francis Bacon. His one attempt to tell a proper 'joke' begins: 'Queen Victoria goes into a pub and says, "Can I have a pint of Guinness?" and the barman replies, "After what you've done to Ireland?"', and escalates into an intricately referenced debate on the whole of nineteenth-century expansionist politics. The framework of Zaltzman's democratic contest with the Dog, who exists as a disembodied voice, doesn't really hold as a gimmick and becomes a distraction by the end, and Oliver's contribution is such that you feel he ought to have a credit in the title, but Zaltzman is clearly a huge talent, both as a writer and a performer, and someone you can expect to hear a lot more of.
Amid the profusion of cinematic and theatrical effects, it's refreshing to come back to a consummate professional who can walk on to a naked stage (as opposed to walking naked on to a stage, another trick favoured by various performers this year) and hold an audience purely through their persona. Rhona Cameron returns to the Fringe after a five-year absence with her familiar mix of confessional and observational anecdotes, and proves that one of the most successful comic formulae is to find a shared frame of reference with your audience. She's put more emphasis on Scottish content since the London run of this show - if you don't know what 'tablet' is, whole swaths will remain an enigma to you, though half the audience found it extremely funny - but the biggest laughs were saved for some affectionately bewildered mockery of her parents which seemed to strike a chord with everyone - 'Why do our parents have mobile phones? They don't know their own number, they have to carry it on a separate piece of paper.'
Part of Cameron's charm is her freely-shared self-loathing, and only an established and well-loved comedian can get away with quite so many references to her own weight gain and problematic hair ('I look like Elvis at his last concert'). But this show is a welcome reminder that the best live comedy needs nothing more than some good gags and the kind of audience rapport that you get from returning to your home town.

Efforts to Stop Biden's Vaccine Mandate for Private Businesses Reach US Supreme Court
3 companies and 1 red-state attorney general are asking the highest U.S. court to stay Biden's sweeping mandate
By Allen Zhong
Allen Zhong
Allen Zhong is a long-time writer and reporter for The Epoch Times. He joined the Epoch Media Group in 2012. His main focus is on U.S. politics.
Three companies and Missouri's attorney general are asking the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) to stay the Biden administration's vaccine mandate for private businesses with 100 or more employees.
The three companies—Phillips Manufacturing & Tower Company, Sixarp, and Oberg Industries—filed an emergency application (pdf) for an injunction on Dec. 17, saying that the Biden administration is pursuing unlimited federal executive power in the vaccine mandate for private businesses.
"There is no dispute among the parties about the common desire to end the scourge of the COVID-19 pandemic," the application reads. "The arguments advanced by the Executive Branch admit to no cognizable limits on federal executive power.
"Frustrated with a minority of Americans' medical choices, the Executive Branch has attempted to control and surveil the vaccination schedules of enormous swaths of the country's population."
The three companies, which all have more than 100 employees, would have to implement the vaccine mandate if it's not stopped by the courts. The mandate will also jeopardize the companies' already struggling recruitment efforts, the three applicants stated in the application.
Eric Schmitt, attorney general of Missouri, also asked SCOTUS to stay the Biden administration's sweeping vaccine mandate.
"This was always destined to go to the nation's highest court and I'll continue to fight back against this breathtaking overreach," he wrote in a Twitter post.
Representatives for SCOTUS, the Biden administration, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) didn't respond to requests for comment by press time.
This is the latest effort by some companies and Republican-run states to stop President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate for private companies after the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals allowed it to take effect late on Dec. 17.

The vaccine requirements for private businesses issued by OSHA meant that roughly 84 million U.S. workers faced a Jan. 4 deadline to get vaccinated before it was paused.
Under the rule, employees who aren't fully vaccinated would have to wear masks and be tested on a weekly basis for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the disease COVID-19. Exceptions would apply to those who work outdoors or work from home.
The OSHA rule threatens fines of up to $13,600 per violation. It also threatens to fine an additional $13,600 per day that an employer doesn't abate the violation. For a willful or serious violation, OSHA can issue a fine of up to $136,000.
After the ruling by the 6th Circuit Court, OSHA set Jan. 10 as the deadline for companies with 100 or more employees to comply with the rule.
OSHA said in a statement on Dec. 18 that it wouldn't be issuing citations to businesses for noncompliance with any requirements of the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine-or-test mandate for private companies employing 100 or more people until Jan. 10. It also won't issue any citations for noncompliance with the mandate's testing requirements until Feb. 9.

Home Business Economy & Politics VP Debate 2020: Kamala Harris and Mike Pence Clash over Coronavirus Pandemic
VP Debate 2020: Kamala Harris and Mike Pence Clash over Coronavirus Pandemic
Image source: Getty Images
Vice-presidential contenders Kamala Harris and Mike Pence have clashed over the coronavirus pandemic in their only debate ahead of next month's election.
Democrat Kamala Harris called President Donald Trump's handling of the pandemic "the greatest failure of any presidential administration" in history.
Republican VP Mike Pence said the Democratic Party's pandemic plan amounted to "plagiarism".
Democratic nominee Joe Biden leads President Trump with 26 days to go to the vote.
Opinion polls indicate President Trump is trailing by single digits in a handful of battleground states that will decide who wins.
Vice-presidents have tie-breaking power in the Senate and are required to step in if a president is unable to perform their duties. Their day-to-day responsibilities vary with each administration, but they typically serve as top advisers and some take on specific policy portfolios.
October 7 meeting was a civil debate between two smooth communicators compared to last week's belligerent showdown between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, which degenerated into insults and name-calling.
Mike Pence did not interrupt as much as the president last week, but when he did, Kamala Harris interjected: "Mr. Vice-President, I'm speaking, I'm speaking."
The viral moment on October 7 was a fly landing on Mike Pence's head and remaining there for some two minutes.
Presidential Debate 2020: Donald Trump and Joe Biden Clash in Bitter Debate
The 90-minute TV debate at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City was marked by disagreements over the Trump administration's handling of the pandemic.
The 55-year-old California senator accused VP Mike Pence and the president of deliberately misleading Americans about the lethality of coronavirus.
"They knew, and they covered it up," she said, adding that they had "forfeited their right to re-election".
Mike Pence accused the Biden-Harris campaign of copying the White House's pandemic strategy, alluding to a blunder that ended Joe Biden's 1987 run for the presidency when he plagiarized a speech by then-British Labour leader Neil Kinnock.
Kamala Harris was asked by the moderator whether she would take an approved Covid-19 vaccine distributed ahead of the election.
She said she would not take a jab touted by President Trump without the say-so of medical professionals.
Mike Pence, who heads the White House coronavirus task force, retorted: "The fact that you continue to undermine public confidence in a vaccine if the vaccine emerges during the Trump administration I think is unconscionable."
The Plexiglas barriers separating the two debaters seated 12ft apart were a vivid reminder of the pandemic that has killed more than 200,000 Americans.
President Trump – who is himself recovering from the virus – returned to the White House on October 5 after three nights in hospital, with his opinion poll numbers drooping.
On October 7, the president declared that catching the disease was a "blessing from God" that exposed to him to experimental treatments he vowed would become free for all Americans.
The virus, meanwhile, has spread through the West Wing of the White House and infected figures inside the president's re-election campaign.
ABC News reported that an internal government memo, dated October 7, said "34 White House staffers and other contacts" had been infected in recent days.
The White House has not yet commented on this.

Wigan Athletic have received an injury boost after scans revealed Franco di Santo did not damage ankle ligaments against Birmingham City.
Latics boss Roberto Martinez feared the summer signing from Chelsea was set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after being caught on the ankle by the tackle which resulted in a red card for Craig Gardner during Saturday's goalless draw at St Andrew's.
The Argentinian striker was stretchered off the pitch but tests have now revealed no serious injury.
Di Santo could now return against Wolves at the DW Stadium on Saturday.
"We have been very fortunate that there is no ligament damage at all. It's a real boost for us and for Franco, because that was the real fear we had," Martinez told the Wigan Evening Post.
"Franco was just fortunate that the leg was in the air and not planted in the ground.
"If that challenge had connected with Franco's leg while he is standing, it is a broken leg – no two ways about it.
"Obviously the ankle is not in a great condition at the moment. It's swelled up and there are a few nasty cuts on there.

I sneaked out of a very busy SimpleUsability office in Leeds to attend the annual eye tracking user experience conference organised by Tobii. This year saw it hosted in London, which was a bit of contrast to some of the more glamorous locations of previous years. I do hope it's held in a more desirable and warmer surroundings next year, such as Barcelona – which seemed a popular suggestion from the attendees I polled.
I attended once again as a speaker; and also took a seat on the expert panel. I'm not going to blog about every presentation – just the two that left me smiling the most.
a hugely variable sample rate of 5 to 30Hz.
Overall this means webcam eye tracking is only detecting approximate gaze points instead of accurate fixations in sessions of just 5 minutes. No real surprises there, but it was great to hear somebody finally talking detail on this evolving/contentious approach to data collection. Aga then went on to destroy the validity of mouse eye tracking and then bust the myth of visual attention prediction services, like fengui, that people like to tweet about (Some of Aga's examples are shown here). She rounded off the first half of her talk by asking what eye tracking people are doing about all this stuff, because it has the potential to undermine the quality of work carried out by the people attending the conference.
There was a lot more to Aga's talk than I've covered and she finished with an overview of what she meant by making research actionable.
I was impressed and happy; the person writing the book about a topic I feel so passionately about, really gets it and also cares. Huge panic over, I too can now sleep at night. It was a good wake-up call for many in the room and I think a few cages were positively rattled.
My second smiley talk was from Charlotte van Dael, "Eyetracking out there".
I loved this talk because it was about getting out of the lab to meet users on their ground and the reality of what that actually involves. She shared lots of tips about how you go about conducting studies in the field. SimpleUsability do a mix of lab and field based testing, so much of what Charlotte talked about was familiar. A useful takeaway for me was a suggestion for using wireless transmitters for getting audio into the observation room when off-site.
I think what made me smile most was the reaction of the room to this approach – it seemed like it was something that many hadn't considered or thought was possible. In wrapping up, Charlotte also took the opportunity to give some feedback to Tobii about their product and some requests.
Over the two days, we got the chance to see lots of different approaches, play with new eye tracking accessories and hear about new services. I was disappointed to find out that Tobii are launching an insight service – you can now rent an eye tracker with a Tobii researcher to drive it. Whilst they claim that it's not in competition with research companies, I feel it's the thin end of the wedge and a move that will upset customers. This does mean that Tobii get to 'eat their own dog food', and maybe we'll see some productivity and reliability changes to Tobii Studio based on feedback from Tobii researchers using systems in commercial research.
Tobii also announced their involvement in developing webcam based eye tracking services. This seemed a strange thing to do, as I thought Tobii wasn't involved in webcam services.
As always at EyeTrackUX, met lots of new people, informally benchmarked our services against peer offerings, had some great conversations and have returned to the office inspired on a number of levels.
I'm already looking forward to (Barcelona) next year.
