1974 Lehigh Engineers football team. The 1974 Lehigh Engineers football team was an American football team that represented Lehigh University as an independent during the 1974 NCAA Division II football season.

In their tenth year under head coach Fred Dunlap, the Engineers compiled a 7–3 record. Jim Addonizio and Joe Alleva were the team captains.

After starting the season with two wins, the Engineers briefly appeared in the UPI small college poll, ranking No. 15 for the last full week of September. A loss that weekend to Division I opponent Penn dropped them out of the top 20. Lehigh remained unranked the rest of the year.

Lehigh played its home games at Taylor Stadium on the university campus in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Roller hearth furnace. A roller hearth furnace is a type of industrial furnace used for heat treating material in continuous and index-continuous production processes.

Construction
Roller hearth furnaces are built with two openings opposite each other to allow items to pass into, through and out of the furnace while moving in one direction. Depending on their application and operating temperature they may contain either a conveyor belt or furnace rollers for the movement of items through the furnace. Various heating methods are available, including gas-fire and resistive heating.

Richardson has exhibited her work at the Studio Museum in Harlem, EFA Project Space of the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, and at the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA), in Brooklyn, New York.

Richardson employs everyday materials like telecommunication wires and cables to bind fabric, the work a comment on traditional women’s labor and society's understanding of certain bodies through textiles and language. Roberta Smith of the New York Times described her wall pieces at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 2008, "Initially they seem overly familiar, but they gradually become extremely particular and rather sinister."

A graduate of the Ryman Arts program in Los Angeles and Stanford University, she attended Yale University’s School of Art from 2005.

Silver Sparrow (malware). The Silver Sparrow computer virus is malware that runs on x86- and Apple M1-based Macintosh computers. Engineers at the cyber security firm Red Canary have detected two versions of the malware in January and February 2021.

Description 
Two versions of the malware were reported. The first version (described as the "non-M1" version) is compiled for Intel x86-64. It was first detected in January 2021. The second version contains code that runs natively on Apple's proprietary M1 processor, and was probably released in December 2020 and discovered in February 2021. The virus connects to a server hosted on Amazon Web Services.  The software includes a self-destruct mechanism.

As of 23 February 2021, information about how the malware is spread and what system may be compromised is sparse. It is uncertain whether Silver Sparrow is embedded inside malicious advertisements, pirated software, or bogus Adobe Flash Player updaters. Red Canary has theorized that systems could have been infected through malicious search engine results that might have directed them to download the code. The ultimate object of the malware's release is also still unknown.

Silver Sparrow is the second malware virus observed to include M1-native code.

Impact 
As of 23 February 2021, Internet security company Malwarebytes has discovered over 29,000 Macs worldwide running their anti-malware software to be infected with Silver Sparrow. Silver Sparrow infected Macs have been found in 153 countries as of February 17, with higher concentrations reported in the US, UK, Canada, France, and Germany, according to data from Malwarebytes. Over 39,000 Macs were affected in the beginning of March 2021.

On 23 February 2021, a spokesperson of Apple Inc. stated that "there is no evidence to suggest the malware they identified has delivered a malicious payload to infected users." Apple also revoked the certificates of the developer accounts used to sign the packages, thereby preventing any additional Macs from becoming infected.

Prathima Agrawal. Prathima Agrawal is an Indian-American computer engineer known for her contributions to wireless networking, VLSI, and computer-aided design. She is a professor emerita and the former Samuel Ginn Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Auburn University.

Early life and education
Agrawal's father was a chemical engineer; she studied engineering in the 1960s at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, as the only female engineering student there at the time. After earning bachelor's and master's degrees there, she began doctoral study at the University of Rochester in 1967, again as the only woman. She married engineer Vishwani Agrawal after a year, had a son, and left the program, instead earning a second master's degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign for work on the ILLIAC IV program.

She returned to India with her new family, but after two years as a housewife, became a doctoral student at the University of Southern California (USC) in 1974, temporarily leaving her husband in India and her son with a sister in New York. She completed her Ph.D. at USC in 1977, under the supervision of Melvin Breuer.

Career
Agrawal became a researcher at Bell Labs in 1978, working on the simulation of large electronic circuits, a problem that led her to the design of single-chip multiprocessors to perform these simulations. In 1992, she became the founding director of a laboratory on networked computing, shifting her interests from circuit design to networking. She moved to Bellcore in 1998, and moved again to Auburn as Samuel Ginn Distinguished Professor and founding director of the Wireless Engineering Research and Education Center in 2003. She retired as a professor emerita in 2014.

Book
With Santosh Kulkarni, Agrawal is the author of Analysis of TCP Performance in Data Center Networks (Springer, 2014). She has also edited several edited volumes.

Recognition
Bell Labs named Agrawal a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff in 1985. She was named an IEEE Fellow in 1989 "for contributions to computer-aided design and testing of integrated circuits", and the IEEE gave her their Third Millennium Medal in 2000. The Indian Institute of Science named her a distinguished alumna in 2008.

1975 Lehigh Engineers football team. The 1975 Lehigh Engineers football team was an American football team that represented Lehigh University as an independent during the 1975 NCAA Division II football season. Lehigh lost in the quarterfinal round of the national playoffs, but won the Lambert Cup.

In their 11th and final year under head coach Fred Dunlap, the Engineers compiled a 9–3 record (9–2 in the regular season). Jerry Mullane and Joe Sterrett were the team captains.

Unranked at the start of the year, the Engineers first appeared in the 1975 Division II national polls in late October, climbing to No. 4 in the coaches poll before a late-season loss to Bucknell dropped them to No. 6, their final coaches poll position. In the AP writers poll, Lehigh ended the regular season ranked No. 11, but the final poll was released after the playoffs, and Lehigh did not rank in the top 15.

Lehigh won the Lambert Cup, awarded to the best team from a mid-sized college in the East. 
The Engineers also qualified for its second NCAA Division II national playoff in three years, but lost in the first round to No. 8 New Hampshire.

Lehigh played its home games, including its playoff game, at Taylor Stadium on the university campus in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
