Mountain Hawks Conclude Two-Meet Weekend with Strong Performances
By Annaliese Alexander Last updated Jan 22, 2023
Moravian Indoor Results.pdf
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – In its first two-meet weekend of the season, the Lehigh women's track and field team showed no signs of slowing down as the team excelled both on the track and in the field at both the Villanova Invitational and Moravian Indoor Meet on Saturday. The Mountain Hawks finished Saturday with over 25 student-athletes earning top ten finishes.
Lehigh dominated at the Moravian Indoor Meet, which was held inside Rauch Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon.
The Mountain Hawks started the day with four student-athletes finishing in the top ten in the long jump. Leading the way was sophomore Keisha Modi, who won the event with a mark of 5.34m. Senior Avery Roze (5.31m) and sophomore Lauren Roy (5.17m) followed suit, finishing second and fourth, respectively. Fellow sophomore Chelsi Chevannes earned a seventh-place finish with her mark of 5.00m.
Lehigh's jumpers continued to shine in Rauch Fieldhouse on Saturday morning with Roy (10.43m) finishing second in the long jump and first-year Gretchen Haray finishing third with a personal best of 1.58m.
The Mountain Hawks' throwers showed their strength in the shot put and weight throw at the Moravian Indoor Meet with first-year Jennifer Whipple (10.79m) leading the way with her fourth-place finish in the shot put. Junior Karina Roze (13.55m) and senior Emma Harrington (13.34m) earned their own top ten performances in the weight throw, finishing fifth and sixth, respectively.
First-years Lena Perlmutter and Sarah Goode were the final two Mountain Hawks to earn top ten finishes in a field event in Bethlehem. The duo finished seventh and eight in the pole vault with marks of 3.19m.
Lehigh asserted his dominance on the track with two Mountain Hawks claiming first place finishes at Moravian's meet. In the 5000m, sophomore Savanah Beavers won the event with a personal best of 17:50.29 while graduate student Lauren Powell won the 400m with a new personal best of 1:00.67. Junior Abigail Tenreiro joined Beavers in the 5000m, finishing in 18:28.30 to secure a third-place finish.
First-year Elisa Brear was the final Mountain Hawk to earn a top ten finish in Bethlehem on Saturday. Brear finished eighth in the 3000m with a time of 11:00.67.
While some Mountain Hawks excelled in Bethlehem at the Moravian Indoor Meet, others continued to shine at the Villanova Invitational at the Ocean Breeze Complex in Staten Island, NY
Sophomore Lauryn Heskin claimed Lehigh's first top ten finish at Villanova's meet, finishing tenth with a personal best of 2:58.12 in the 1000m.
Lehigh's distance runners showed no signs of slowing down as they placed three student-athletes in the top ten in the mile. Junior Christina Yakaboski was the top finisher for Lehigh, claiming a sixth-place finish with a personal best of 4:56.50. Seniors Elena Perez-Segnini (5:03.31) and Andrea Miller (5:04.42) followed suit, finishing ninth and tenth, respectively,
Seniors Ashley Struck and Ashley Griesmeyer led Lehigh's sprinters with solid performances in Staten Island, NY on Saturday. Griesmeyer finished fifth overall in the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.90 while Struck finished fifth in the 400m (57.47) and sixth in the 200m (25.39).
Lehigh earned his final top ten finish on the track in the 4×400, finishing sixth overall with a time of 3:56.03. Struck competed along with junior Simone Davey, sophomore Stephanie Webb and first-year Amber Barrios.
The Mountain Hawks brought energy into the field events, claiming four more top ten finishes. Leading the way for Lehigh was first-year Laura Reigle, who finished second in the pole vault at the Villanova Invitational. Reigle, who claimed her second Patriot League Rookie of the Week award this week, finished Saturday with a mark of 3.75m. Sophomore Randi Conroy joined Reigle in the top ten, finishing sixth overall with a mark of 3.45m.
Lehigh wrapped up Saturday with three jumpers claiming top ten finishes of their own. In the long jump, sophomore Casey Talamini-Kelemen finished seventh overall with a mark of 11.25m. Junior Kerry Perna (1.60m) was the top finisher for Lehigh in the high jump in her eighth-place finish. First-year Melanie LaCorte followed suit, finishing ninth in the high jump with a mark of 1.55m.
The Mountain Hawks will return to Bethlehem to host rival Lafayette inside Rauch Fieldhouse on Saturday, January 28 in the Rivalry presented by Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute.

US Arms Sales to Saudi Arabia for Use in Yemen 'Bilateral Issue'
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Earlier in January, UN Special Envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed told the Security Council that his office was ready to convene a meeting in Jordan.
"So far we are trying to get that meeting," Alyemany said on Monday. "Our intention is to push the Houthis to send a representative to the De-Escalation and Coordination Committee (DCC). So, hopefully if they send their representative then we can have meetings in Jordan to establish the monitoring of cessation of hostilities."
Since 2014, Yemen has been engulfed in a military conflict between the internationally recognized government of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi and Iran-allied Houthi rebels supported by forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Since March 2015, the Saudi-led coalition of Arab states started a military campaign to defeat the rebels and restore the legitimate government.

Having dipped my toe into the water, (1) I'd like to take another step or two in.
Originally I'd never have thought I'd be speaking on these matters. But Michael predicted I would (2) and recently I've felt an inner pressure to be doing so.
For anyone wanting to get involved, the galactics "really ask for human leadership in order to be not be seen as trying to in any way assume control." This is an open invitation and a clear admission that they want humans to take the lead.
Never mind that he identified the galactics as one source of unusual wealth; they want our partnership.
The Divine Mother and Michael state that the Company of Heaven is watching lightworkers who step up to the humanitarian/philanthropic plate. Those who use the money wisely will be given greater and greater responsibilities.
We have only to ask and state our willingness for them to begin to work with us. Well, that's my gut feeling.
Where's this unusual wealth coming from? In 2016 Michael talked about "the abundance programs, plural." (7) I should have twigged when I head the phrase, but I did not.
Later, once I began to realize the significance of being used as a pipeline, I asked him to confirm the sources of unusual wealth. And he did.
Steve: First of all, I want to have more understanding of where the inflow of money is coming from. Some of its coming from the Chinese elders, that's correct, right?
Steve: … And some from the prosperity packages [of the St. Germaine World Trust]?
Steve: … Some from historical assets [what used to be called "trading platforms," historical bonds]?
Off-planet gold was contributed a year ago? That's about the time when Linda Dillon reported seeing spaceships leave the Neptune mothership carrying gold to Earth. This trans-shipment may be what Michael is referring to here.
I could name several other sources not so far named but some sources desire anonymity.
Encounters with the Scarlet Pimpernel. My life is definitely getting better.
The Reval therefore is only one flow of wealth to be used to create Nova Earth.
I don't believe these words apply to me alone. The Company of Heaven is clearly intent on introducing abundance into the terrestrial equation by any and all means.
I believe he's telling lightworkers that the celestials are prepared to enter into a co-creative partnership with those boots on the ground who are prepared to reciprocate.
Just to give you a snapshot of how a person can expand by taking on a larger project, look at the difference in the next two discussions.
One occurred before I'd really grasped what he wanted from me as a pipeline. I was still just a currency holder. The second occurred after. Listen to the change in tenor.
Archangel Michael: You will have ample money, dear heart. That is not an issue.
Steve: Even for universal basic incomes for a few countries?
Steve: Okay, so I'll go ahead and try to create as many universal basic incomes as I can.
Archangel Michael: Yes, until such time as they are not needed.
Steve: If I'm going to be a pipeline, I should have the means to do this. Is that correct?
Steve: And I can rely on you to direct me to people in countries who can manage these projects?
AAM: Yes. There are already many who are fully capable, given the resources, to manage such a project. But because the political, financial, social, and institutional structure has not been there, the will has also not been there.
I've gone from thinking about doing three or four UBIs to considering as many as possible. I get bigger in the process of taking on a bigger responsibility.
I'm certain this is being said to get you to step up as one willing to be a leader in all that's being discussed here.
It isn't just the Reval that can provide the wealth. It's just one of a number of options.
Abundance will go ahead by one means or another and from one source or another like a swollen river seeking a channel.
I'm hoping that a picture is beginning to emerge – of massive flows of wealth, coming to Earth from all manner of sources and needing to be used to build Nova Earth while hydrating society.
The galactics could build a new world. But that would deprive us, its citizens, of a learning experience. The Law of Free Will says it's our planet – we messed it up and we clean it up. But the galactics have the tools to actually finish the job.
So we'll probably be working together, with us making the important decisions for the planet and them making the important decisions in galactic science and technology.
The Company of Heaven wants us to lead in the redistribution of wealth. And in putting the wealth to good use.
Those that step up to the plate will be given more and more responsibility and the wherewithal to really make a difference in the world.
From where I sit, the ball seems irrefutably in our court. This could be our time to shine if we step up to play.
Archangel Michael: But you will.
Steve: I will discuss this side?

So [when non-lightworkers] are assigned … or try to step up … to create and to take the leadership role, they do not have the training and insight to do it in a way that is achievable. … So there is a lack, a vacuum of leadership.

No, don't eat it! Just leave it as a display. Besides that's way too much sweet for a little girl.
hahaha... I think you're not supposed to eat gifts like that. Although maybe it was purposely created to be smashed into smaller pieces.
"How come his face looks that way?"
@Ryhen - My daughter would then ask "what's murder?" Her uncle told her because she always make mean faces so Santa is not happy.
if the thing is solid, not going to be easy to cut it up into pieces. Better to leave it as a decoration.
My first time here. Been seeing you around my friends' blog. Love to read your comments.
My name is Shakira and I would be so honoured if you would visit my blogs.
@A-Mara - He looks scary as a diplay figure. My daughter sometimes would turn him the other way around so she won't see his face.
@Dora - You know, he does look frustrated more than mean. Hmmm...not a good expression for a Santa!
Hmmm....I hate to admit it but he does look somewhat "mean". Maybe you can all share the chocolate, or melt it for a nice chocolate fondue with fruits!
@Shakira - thanks for stopping by! sure I'll visit your blog. look forward to reading them!
@Mei - lol..yeh fierce Santa!
You know what? The Santa did not look too appetizing to me, haha!

Q: Do the Maranga/Kee Berries continue to activate when Harvested? I'm considering building a Trevenant with it's Hidden Ability: Harvest, so I've been looking into different berries to use to take advantage of it.
There's obviously the Sitrus Berry for the healing, but also the Lum Berry (combined with the move Rest for some potent healing abilities).
But then I stunble across the Kee Berry:

If held by a Pokémon, this Berry will increase the Pokémon's Defense stat when hit by a physical attack

and Maranga Berry

If held by a Pokémon, this Berry will increase the Pokémon's Sp. Defense stat when hit by a special attack

Which piqued my interest. But do these berries continue to activate when Harvested? I.e. will the Defense/Special defense boosts be stacked?

A: Yes, I just tested it yesterday.
If a Trevenant holds a Kee Berry, and is hit with a physical move, the berry will activate after the move hit and if Harvest activates, the Kee Berry will be restored. Consequently, after the next physical hit, Trevenant will again have its berry activated (thus the next stat raised to now is 2 level).
I didn't test for Maranga, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work similarly.

The No Makeup No Life Beauty Box from Japan has quickly shot up to the top of my favourite subscription boxes. At just $29.99 INCLUDING worldwide delivery, with everything inside full-sized, what's not to love about this beauty box?
As I expand my Asian Beauty journey from Korea to Japan, this box is aiding me in discovering some brilliant cosmetics. It reminds me of Memebox in their heyday back in 2014, before they bit off far more than they could chew and decided that the world consisted of just the one country.
The theme for the June 2017 NMNL box is "2-in-1 beauty products". I expected a lip and cheek tint, obviously.
Scroll down for the unboxing of the No Makeup No Life Beauty Box for June 2017.
Everything is full-sized. One makeup tool, one makeup item, one nail product, one skincare and one sunscreen product. Way to divide 'em up!
The sixth product in there - on the top left corner - is a replacement product. Last month, the Melon All-In-One Gel leaked in transit, so NMNL sent me a replacement this month.
My favourite product in this box. This contains Arbutin and Vitamin C. It can be used after cleansing, as an essence + serum. I've used it since Wednesday, and loved it so much so that I've incorporated it in my nightly routine. The clear gel sinks in very quickly with mild tingling.
Summer is icumen in, so lhude stock SPF, cuccu.
A very timely inclusion. Contains SBP32+. I scratched my head over how this one was a 2-in-1 product, before turning to the product card. It turns out that this gel can be used on both the face and the body, and performs as a sunscreen as well as a moisturiser. It smells faintly of honey and lemon, and also contains royal jelly, hyaluronic acid, rosemary, jojoba, and lavender.
The product is beautifully lightweight and silky, and sinks in clear, far sooner than any SPF product I've come across.
This was the multi-tasker that I expected. Sadly, in a shade that I know will not suit me. Goes into the giveaway box.
Anyone else feels that all lip-and-cheek multitaskers work better as lip products than as cheek products?
A set of nail wraps and a mini nail file. I was super-excited about these after reading that one of the decals (the one on the extreme left below) lights up when you use an electronic device that emits NFC waves. But I've tried it at a cash point with half a dozen cards, with my phone, Android tablet, and an ID card swiping machine. I found the little chip-thing where the optic fibres must go, but nothing I do works. The thing simply does NOT light up. Boo! Hiss!
Sephora has a similar tool set. I prefer theirs to this one, because the former contains a crease brush, a brow brush and a smudger. The Japanese one contains a spoolie, a brow brush, and a lip brush. It is also less sturdy.
The All In One Essence is a huge win for me, and I also love the silky light sunscreen. A huge boo to the nail wraps, simply because they did not light up as promised, though I admit they are very pretty. After all the hype, I did want them to do what they claimed.
If they had not said that one of the decals would light up, I would have rated this an excellent box.
For those who want to see the products "in action", you'll have to wait till I've tested them out for a reasonable amount of time!
NMNL boxes cost $29.99 a month, INCLUSIVE of international delivery, which is a very good deal. Products are always full-sized, and long-term subscriptions cost a bit less. To get your NMNL box, go here.
In July, there will be a UV Shield CC Cream and a body pack, among other things. I'm excited about the latter and cannot wait to see the rest of the contents.


This man's bottom is the wrong way around.
Nowadays, it seems that (to some musicians at least) if you play in a covers, functions or tribute band you are up there with Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot and should be shipped off to some offshore correctional facility and made to play 'Brown Eyed Girl' until you chew your own ears off. But to those musicians, the people that write their own material are bungling, deluded amateurs who just get in the way of the real talent and make them look bad.
Erm, aren't we all on the same side?
If I see one more post along the lines of 'it's all tribute and cover bands round here and no-one else can get a gig' I may cry. Speaking as a humble Bassist who's done both the covers thing and fought in the trenches playing original music, I think I have a good idea of how it works. Guys (that's the non-gender-specific use of the word) in covers and tribute bands have an advantage in the early stages of their career as Joe Public kinda knows what to expect. If you see Nearvana or Byron Adams or one of the other imaginatively named combos on the scene advertised on a poster or the Interweb, you know how your evening's entertainment will pan out. Whether they are any good or not is another thing entirely. With a band that writes their own material, you get people to gigs by sweet talking, emotional blackmail and low level bullying initially. And then you graft. And often it's the quality of grafting and the tenacity and persistence of the band that are the deciding factors in the success of the group – more than the quality of the material. I can name a dozen great songwriters and amazing musicians who have bowed out of the musical rat race because they lack the stomach for the real hustle. And who can blame them?
As a bassist in a covers/tribute band, I have effectively capped my earnings. With the exception of The Bootleg Beatles, The Australian Pink Floyd and Oasis (KIDDING!), bands like mine never rise above the 200-300 venue ceiling. If your career takes off in an original band – "Hello Wembley"… The other gripe is that 'Every local venue just puts on tributes'…well, that as we say in Halesowen, is BullPlop. There are a handful of local venues round these parts which specialise in cover/tribute bands, but by the same token, there are WAY more that may turn their noses up at By Jovy or MaltLoaf etc. And if you really are stuck in a venueless void, find a pub, community centre, leisure centre etc, hire/buy a vocal PA and put your own damn gig on. Guerrilla gigs are so 21st century right now.
The prejudice works both ways, with rather superior trib musos looking down their noses at the 'wannabees' who write their own material. To them I say that hopefully one of those 'wannabees' will hire your band to play at the celebration party for their quadruple platinum album. Right now, that band playing original material may not have 'the chops' but they may have something way more useful – potential.
What we sometimes forget is that we're all in the entertainment industry. Some people like to be entertained by something familiar. Some people like to seek out The Next Big Thing. These people pay our wages and they deserve something which doesn't insult them. Rather than wasting time bitching, I suggest we go back to the rehearsal room, the kitchen table or wherever the muse may strike and get better at what we do.

Sarawak to get RM450m in CSR contributions from Petronas
SARAWAK will receive corporate social responsibility (CSR) contributions totalling RM450 million ($162) from Petronas for 2015 to 2019.
Sarawak Chief Minister Adenan Satem said this indicated that Petronas had always been a responsible and generous corporate citizen of Malaysia.
He was speaking at a function where Petronas Chairman Sidek Hassan had announced a contribution of RM90 million ($32 million) to the state for 2015, on Wednesday.
"Petronas has always been a regular contributor to our economy and has even gone to the extent of rescuing the nation at a time of acute economic setback.
"It is also one of the foremost multinational companies of the world, as well as the country's biggest tax payer," he said.
But he added that the state would continue to pursue its negotiation with Petronas for its oil royalty to be increased to at least 20 per cent.
"It (negotiation) is essentially between the state and federal governments because if there is approval, it will come from the federal government," he said.
Adenan said he had talked to Prime Minister Najib Razak over this and hoped that he would consider this in the state's favour.
He said besides its many CSR projects and the payment of huge dividends to the state annually, Petronas had recently awarded contracts worth RM2.1 billion ($751 million) to the state.
"We are closely monitoring this through a special committee to see the contracts are really given out," he added.
Sidek, in his speech, said the RM90 million initial contribution was to kick-start Petronas' five-year (2015-2019) CSR initiatives in the state to enhance education, community development and well-being, as well as environmental conservation.
He said the initiatives include the construction of a new Mara Junior Science College (MRSM) in Bintulu and two hostels to cater for rural students, besides the adoption of five schools in Lundu under the Trust School Programme (Sekolah Amanah) in collaboration with Yayasan Amir.
Sidek said Petronas will also increase its educational scholarships under the Program Sentuhan Ilmu Petronas (PSIP) and Petronas Education Sponsorship Programme (PESP) for local students.
"This year, Petronas has awarded scholarships to 37 students to pursue their tertiary education at leading local and overseas universities."
He said the conservation of coral reefs at the 12,200ha Sibuti Reef Complex within the 186,930ha Miri-Sibuti Marine National Park is among 11 additional CSR projects involving community development and environmental conservation.
Others include the setting up of community centres, a Petrosains Playsmart centre, sponsorship of the annual Sarawak Regatta and financial contribution to deserving NGOs and to the state natural disaster relief committee.
Sidek said he hopes that Petronas's close relationship with Sarawak in the development of its oil and gas industry will continue to grow even closer.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but it looks like they made some *monster* cuts from the book's storyline. Not having seen them, I can't really comment on it, but considering how long the novel is already, it was probably necessary.
Which is my roundabount way of saying that I have a hard time viewing Sam and Frodo's relationship as sexual, but that they love each other as much as two lovers ever could.


Clickjacking was first publicized by Jeremiah Grossman and Robert "Rsnake" Hansen in 2008. Clickjacking is an attack that is possible only by the use of iframes. Iframes are the HTML components that are used to load a webpage in a frame. Their height and width can be set to any size depending on the requirements of the designers. Iframe has an attribute named opacity to make the iframe opaque or even transparent, depending on the requirement. Clickjacking is possible because of the <iframe> tag and an attribute offered by HTML, which is "opacity".
Clickjacking is a combination of two independent words: Click and Hijacking. Here, Click refers to "mouse clicks" and Hijacking refers to "forcing a victim to click". Clickjacking means forcing a victim to click on a page on which the attacker wants him to click to perform the desired malicious activity, without his willingness to click.
There are a lot of attacks discovered these days that have clickjacking working in the backend, just to raise the popularity of the site, stealing one's session, or stealing a victim's confidential information such as credit card information, etc. Now in this article we will discuss identification of a clickjacking vulnerable site, different ways to perform clickjacking, its preventions, and real world examples of clickjacking.
All of you are well familiar with the concept of stacking – here, in clickjacking, an iframe is stacked on top of the genuine site, and the iframe on top has the attacker's malicious site. As the iframe is set to be transparent with the help of the opacity feature, the victim will have no idea that instead of clicking on the site he is willing to, he is clicking on an attacker's malicious site.
In this image, you can easily visualize that on top of a genuine page there exists an iframe, i.e. partially visible for you to visualize, but in reality it will be invisible.
Whenever a victim clicks on the play button, then the event that will fire is actually the one that is in the opaque iframe. This is how a victim's clicks are hijacked to do whatever he doesn't want to do but the attacker wants him to do.
Iframe – This is a frame in HTML that frames a webpage in it.
Z-index – decides the iframe index in the stack.
Opacity – makes the iframe transparent.
Position: Absolute – lines up the iframe with the dummy page.
On clicking the Play Now!!! button, the victim will be redirected to the torrentz search page.
Frame Busting is a piece of code that is embedded in the webpage to prevent loading of any webpage in the sub frame.
Frame Busting code generally consists of a conditional-statement and a counter-action.
The parent.location parameter works well in the frame busting code if victim's page is framed by only one frame. But if the attacker encloses the victim's page by two or more frames then parent.location violates security.
This is used to bypass frame busting code in the case when frame busting code wants to destroy the iframe and loads the source defined in the iframe as an entirely new web page.
HTTP X-Frame Options are the best defence against Clickjacking attacks. HTTP X-Frame Options allow or disallow the pages of victim domain to be rendered in an iframe on an attackers site. This Option is allowed in the HTTP Response Header.
For example: Rendering the Facebook's Like button in an invisible iframe just above the Click Here button on the attaker's evil page was the most popular example of a Clickjacking attack. This is also abbrievated as Likejacking.

The promise of RNA interference based therapeutics is made evident by the recent surge of biotechnological drug companies that pursue such therapies and their progression into human clinical trials. The present technology discloses novel RNA and RNA/DNA nanoparticles including multiple siRNAs, RNA aptamers, fluorescent dyes, and proteins. The National Cancer Institute sees parties interested licensing this technology or in collaborative research to co-develop RNAi-based nanoparticle therapeutics for cancer and HIV.
Efficient Cell-Free Production of Papillomavirus Gene Transfer Vectors
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) developed cell free methods for efficiently producing high titer, papillomavirus virus-based gene transfer vectors. These vectors can potentially be used for vaccines and/or cancer therapeutic applications. NCI seeks licensing and/or co-development research collaborations for further development of these vectors.
Novel Anti-HIV Proteins from Coral Reefs
Scientists at the National Cancer Institute's Molecular Targets Laboratory have discovered that Cnidarins as a novel class of highly potent proteins capable of blocking the HIV virus from penetrating T-cells. The National Cancer Institute seeks parties interested in collaborative research to license or co-develop large-scale recombinant production of cnidarins.
Anti-bacterial Treatments Using Peptide-Based Inhibitors of the STAT3-IL10 Pathway
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that typically affects the lungs. Current therapies include a panel of antibiotics given over a range of 6-9 months. As a result of the expense of treatment, the extended timeframe needed for effective treatment, and the scarcity of medicines in some developing countries, patient compliance with TB treatment is very low and results in multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB). There remains a need for a faster, more effective treatment for TB. NCI researchers seek licensing and/or co-development of peptide inhibitors of STAT3 and IL-10 developed to treat bacterial infections such as tuberculosis. See aslo: NIH inventions E-164-2007 and E-167-2010
Functionally-Interdependent Shape-Switching Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have developed nucleic-acid-based nanoparticle that can be adapted for RNA interference (RNAi), molecular imaging, or a combination thereof. The invention nanoparticles can be used as therapeutics in the treatment of cancer, whichthe NCI seeks parties to license or co-develop.
Novel HPPK (Bacterial Protein) Inhibitors for Use as Antibacterial Agents
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have developed several novel small-molecule inhibitors directed against HPPK, a bacterial protein, as potential antimicrobial agents. The NCI seeks co-development partners or licensees to further develop these novel small-molecule HPPK inhibitors as broad-spectrum bactericidal agents.
Virus-Like Particles That Can Deliver Proteins and RNA
The present invention describes novel virus-like particles (VLPs) that are capable of binding to and replicating within a target mammalian cell, including human cells. The claimed VLPs are safer than viral delivery because they are incapable of re-infecting target cells. The National Cancer Institute's Protein Expression Laboratory seeks parties interested in licensing the novel delivery of RNA to mammalian cells using virus-like particles.

Methods of Producing Thymic Emigrants from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Pluripotent stem cells are a promising source of T cells for a variety of clinical applications. However, current in vitro methods of T cell differentiation result in the generation of cells with aberrant phenotypes. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have now developed methodology for generating induced pluripotent stem cell thymic emigrants (iTE). Antigen-specific CD8αβ+ iTEs exhibited functional properties in vitro that were almost indistinguishable from natural naïve CD8αβ+ T cells, including vigorous expansion and robust anti-tumor activity. iTEs recapitulated many of the transcriptional programs of naïve T cells in vivo and revealed a striking capacity for engraftment, memory formation, and efficient tumor destruction. The NCI seeks licensing and/or co-development research collaborations for this invention.
Micro-Dose Calibrator for Pre-clinical Radiotracer Assays
Pre-clinical radiotracer biomedical research involves the use of compounds labeled with radioisotopes, including radio-ligand bio-distribution studies, cell binding studies, immune cell labeling techniques, and α-based therapies. Before this Micro-Dose Calibrator, measurement of pre-clinical level dosage for small animal studies was inaccurate and unreliable. This dose calibrator is a prototype ready for customer testing and scale-up. It is designed to accurately measure radioactive doses in the range of 50 nCi (1.8 kBq) to 100 µCi (3.7 MBq) with 99% precision. The NCI seeks co-development or licensing to commercialize it. Alternative uses will be considered.
Methods of analyzing virus-derived therapeutics
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute's Biopharmaceutical Development Program recently developed massively parallel sequencing methods for virus-derived therapeutics such as viral vaccines and oncolytic immunotherapies, for which the NCI seeks licensees or co-development collaborations.
Diagnostic Marker for Improving Treatment Outcomes of Hepatitis C
NCI Researchers have discovered Interferon-lambda 4 (IFNL4), a protein found through analysis of genomic data. Preliminary studies indicate that this protein may play a role in the clearance of HCV and may be a new target for diagnosing and treating HCV infection. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) Immunoepidemiology Branch is seeking statements of capability or interest from parties interested in in-licensing or collaborative research to further co-develop a gene-based diagnostic for Hepatitis C virus (HepC, HCV).

Chris Pratt Defends Church After Ellen Page's Anti-LGBTQ Accusation
WENN/Joe Pepler/PinPep
The 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' actor denies that his church hates LGBTQ people, writing on Instagram Stories, 'Nothing could be further from the truth.'
AceShowbiz - Chris Pratt has responded to Ellen Page's claim that he attends an "anti-LGBTQ" church. Taking to his Instagram Stories on Monday, February 11, the actor denied that his church hates people with certain sexual orientation and claimed that the church embraces people from all backgrounds.
"It has recently been suggested that i belong to a church which 'hates a certain group of people' and is 'infamously anti-LGBTQ'. Nothing could be further from the truth," he wrote. "I go to a church that opens their doors to absolutely everyone."
Revealing how the church reacted to his divorce from Anna Faris, Chris continued, "Despite what the Bible says about divorce my church community was there for me every step of the way, never judging, just gracefully accompanying me on my walk. They helped me tremendously offering love and support. It is what I have seen them do for others on countless occasions regardless of sexual orientation, race or gender."
He added, "My faith is important to me but no church defines me or my life, and I am not a spokesman for any church or any group of people. My values define who I am. We need less hate in this world, not more. I am a man who believes that everyone is entitled to love who they want free from the judgment of their fellow man."
The "Guardians of the Galaxy" hunk quoted a passage from the Bible, "Jesus said 'I give you a new command, love one another.' " He explained, "This is what guides me in my life. He is a God of Love, Acceptance and Forgiveness. Hate has no place in my or this world."
Chris Pratt posted an elaborate statement explaining that his church doesn't hate LGBTQ people.
Ellen previously raised question about Chris' support for the church following his interview on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert". The "Inception" actress asked on Twitter, "Oh. K. Um. But his church is infamously anti lgbtq so maybe address that too?"
She added in another post, "If you are a famous actor and you belong to an organization that hates a certain group of people, don't be surprised if someone simply wonders why it's not addressed. Being anti LGBTQ is wrong, there aren't two sides. The damage it causes is severe. Full stop. Sending love to all."
Ellen's accusation was perhaps based on reports surfacing in January that the religious institution was "anti-gay." It was unearthed that senior pastor Carl Lentz said in a 2015 GQ interview that he considers homosexuality a sin and would never allow an openly gay member to hold a church leadership position.
The church has not responded to the anti-LGBTQ accusation.

"This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babve, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie?

"Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars... Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
"I've seen too much hate to want to hate, myself, and every time I see it, I say to myself, hate is too great a burden to bear. Somehow we must be able to stand up against our most bitter opponents and say: We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will and we will still love you.... But be assured that we'll wear you down by our capacity to suffer, and one day we will win our freedom. We will not only win freedom for ourselves; we will appeal to your heart and conscience that we will win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory."
"You can't connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path."

Surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, Cyprus has proven itself to be a top holiday destination that holds enough wonder and attraction to keep visitors coming back year after year.
This European island offers everything you could wish for during a holiday, rightfully earning its status as a favourite holiday destination with its fine climate, interesting attractions and warm local hospitality. Its prime geographic location means that visitors staying in South Cyprus holiday homes benefit from a wonderful climate which attracts holidaymakers from all over the world, much the same as that of Greece and Turkey, countries which surround Cyprus and with which it shares the same weather patterns. This is the reason why it is the third most populated island in the Mediterranean, and why it continues to be one of the most visited islands in the region.
Villas in South Cyprus are a particular draw for tourists, as the southern coast of the island has some of the finest beaches in the whole of the Mediterranean. The resorts that are located all along the coast are designed to help tourists make the most of the beaches, whether for the purposes of relaxation or sporting fitness and adventure. One such region is Ayia Napa, which has an international reputation as a lively party spot to rival Ibiza, and is a strong magnet for DJs and music fans. Visitors flock to the island to dance the night away. Of course, people also come to South Cyprus to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, as there are many South Cyprus holiday rentals located in the smaller quieter resorts of the island. Coral Bay, for example, offers a tranquil retreat for families and a range of family friendly activities can be enjoyed.
A South Cyprus villa in this region will give a visitor the freedom to explore the country at their leisure. Several villages on the south coast of Cyprus are more traditional , which will help travelers gain an insight into life on the island before the age of the tourist swarm. In Polis or Peyia, visitors can indulge in a slower pace of life as they take in the rustic charm of the forests and countryside. To really get off the beaten tourist track, a trip to the Troodos Mountains will offer breathtaking views and welcome relief from the high temperatures. Why not step outside of your comfort zone this year and do something completely new and different? Have you ever considered trying your hand at skiing? Why not take a look at Le Corbier Chalets and discover one of France's lesser known ski resorts?


MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., is the $1.6 billion state-of-the-art home for the Giants and Jets. The architectural masterpiece seats 82,500 and offers fans the chance to experience modern technology and amenities not seen at many other NFL venues. Unlike Giants Stadium in which the Jets were a junior partner, the new stadium is a 50/50 partnership between both teams. That meant that any design features had to be approved by both clubs. This created a "design by committee style" that is neither mind-blowing, nor particularly disappointing. The seats in the upper deck are slightly closer to the field. Four giant corner video screens provide everybody a good view of replays. But there is a blandness and definite grayness to the stadium. And it appears to be covered in Venetian blinds.
MetLife Stadium features four 30' x 118' HD video display boards in each of the stadium's four corners. In addition, MetLife Stadium is equipped with a 48″ x 2200′ ribbon board which circles in the interior seating bowl. Whether riding the elevator, grabbing a bite to eat, or enjoying the game from your seat, you will never miss a second of action. There are 2,018 HDTV's in and around MetLife Stadium ranging from 20 inch screens in the elevators to the aforementioned video boards, which are equivalent to four 110 foot HDTV's. The area around the stadium is notable for the 20 giant LED pylons along the perimeter. These display videos and statistics of Giants players, along with lots of advertising. If you arrive early, you can study these for a few minutes while waiting for gates to open, which happens two hours before kickoff.

Veteran director discusses the difficulty of interviewing the evasive former U.S. SecDef
By Norman Wilner
THE UNKNOWN KNOWN directed by Errol Morris. An Entertainment One release. 102 minutes. Opens Friday (April 4). For venues and times, see Movies.
Talking to Errol Morris about Donald Rumsfeld isn't easy, but I get the sense that talking to Rumsfeld wasn't exactly a walk in the park for Morris either.
His new documentary, The Unknown Known, is a feature-length interview with George W. Bush's first secretary of defence, the man responsible for the sanctioning of torture at Guantánamo Bay and Abu Ghraib, among other terrible things.
But although Morris spends the whole picture confronting Rumsfeld with the awful consequences of his decisions, much as the filmmaker did with Robert S. McNamara in 2003's Oscar-winning The Fog Of War, this time the results are different.
Rumsfeld never cracks, maintaining a level of pissy confidence in his own bullshit that would impress Doug Ford.
In the movie, Morris's disbelief and anger at Rumsfeld's evasions can be heard in his voice. That couldn't have been easy, I say.
"There's this desire, certainly on the part of people watching this film, for me to act out for them," he says. "That I should jump out of my chair and grab him by the neck."
I admit I had that same impulse. But in the face of such stunning self-deception, what other response is possible?
Morris says it was the evasiveness that drew him to Rumsfeld in the first place. That he could set up the conditions at Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib – and other sites that have yet to be exposed – and then blame the torture and abuse on "a few bad apples."
"They made it stick with both the left and the right, which I find amazing," Morris says. "When Sabrina Harman took her first pictures – pictures of people standing in their own urine, people in stress positions, people with women's underwear over their heads, nudity – he tells you how appalled he was. 'Wait a second. You just read the Haynes memo where you authorized all of that.'"
Rumsfeld seems like a textbook sociopath to me – he depersonalized an entire subcontinent in order to wage war in the Middle East – but Morris isn't willing to say the word.
"I think that's too easy," he says. "I don't think he's depersonalized an entire subcontinent I think he's depersonalized the whole universe. Whatever the medical term is, it's not a lack of caring for [individual] people. I think he clearly cares for Joyce [his wife], don't you think? I think he clearly cares about his children.
"Also, in fairness to him, I don't know what you have to do to your head in order to actually do this kind of job. I don't know what it actually means to be SecDef. It doesn't seem to be a touchy-feely job."
But, I suggest, it's a job that comes with responsibilities, and he's avoided those.
"I think he has a remarkable ability to deflect blame away from himself, yes," Morris says. "I don't think he worries about a moment of reckoning."
Isn't that… well, isn't that what we'd define as evil?
"You can capture the absence of something," he says. "I hate to bring Hannah Arendt into this, but here's the one line. I researched 'the banality of evil' because I got into an argument with a journalist friend of mine, and the best explanation from Arendt of the banality of evil is, she said it was the absence – not the presence – of thought. So there you go. Apply it in this instance as you will."

Hey Boston, the 2015 edition of the Red Sox have finally taken to the pristine fields of the Grapefruit League, kicking off what will be another season of either finishing first place or last. Since the Sox have already spent $234,987,322,555 so far this off-season, the general belief is that it's their turn to finish first again. Let's take a closer look at this years team to see if we can prognosticate any further.
Red Sox fans have been licking their chops ever since the November signings of the Kung-Foo Panda and the Kung-Foo Injured Guy, and with the acquisitions of Wade Miley, Rick Porcello and Justin Masterson to round out the rotation, there is reason for optimism. This offense has the potential to be the best in the majors, and the pitching, if all goes well, which it won't, has a chance to be very serviceable. Another comforting fact for Sox fans is that the wildly entertaining John Farrell, the genius mastermind who engineered last season's .438 winning percentage, is once again here to take the helm of this team.
Personally though, I'm not completely sold on the 2015 version of the Idiot Cowboy Up Fried Chicken Eating Etc's Etc's. Last season ended with a flurry of trades and the transactions have continued through the off-season so far.
The Red Sox have done a nice job of filling some holes this off-season, so let's take a look at where they stand in four major areas.
If this team can stay healthy they might just have the best offense in the Major Leagues. But as we all know, staying healthy isn't something that happens very often anymore, and I have some real concerns about the likelihood of having all nine starters in the lineup at the same time. Consider this, Pedroia started to break down a bit last year, and the fact that he's only 3'11'' is a concern considering he plays the game harder than anyone in the league who's not named Reed Johnson. Ortiz is now 56 years old and he can't seem to stay healthy despite the fact that he doesn't actually have to put on a glove or throw a baseball. Hanley Ramirez has a hard time playing 20 consecutive games without sustaining an injury, and even though playing left field should be easier on his body in theory, the first time he crashes into the monster may send him to the disabled list. Shane Victorino has been injured so often that if he goes down one more time they might just put him out of his misery. Allen Craig hasn't been the same since his foot blew up, and Mike Napoli sustains such a magical assortment of injuries he might be mistaken for the local daredevil. The good news is that the Sox will be carrying an incredible amount of depth in case some guys go down. The likes of Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., Allen Craig, Daniel Nava and Brock Holt are all very good major leaguers that won't even have a spot in the starting line-up, but can fill in for injuries, and will make for a plethora of nice pinch-hitting options. Even if there are some injuries, this offense has the potential to make up for any shortcomings in the pitching department.
Here's where things may get a bit dicey. You've got your usual stalwarts in Pedroia, Sandoval, Hanigan and Victorino, but the rest of the team might be looking at late inning defensive substitutions. Castillo in centre field shouldn't be a problem but we won't know until we see him play a full year at Fenway. Bogaerts has all the flash and potential, but suffered from numerous brain cramps last year leading to 20 errors. Napoli is proving to be a decent first baseman but it still isn't his natural position. And speaking of natural positions, Hanley will be switching from SS to LF. He's an athlete though, so he should be able to handle it. Right? Last year the Sox made 92 errors, good for 1oth in the Majors, but I certainly don't see them getting any better this year. The good news is that they have a few nice defensive replacements on the bench which might save them in the later innings. Another bit of good news is that the double play combo of Pedroia and Bogaerts should be one of the finer tandems out there.
Thank heavens someone realized in December that the Red Sox only had two starting pitchers. Since then GM Ben Cherington has done a nice job filling out the other three slots. Trading Cespedes for the up and coming Rick Porcello worked out nicely for the team, what with them having 29 outfielders and only two pitchers. There's still some concerns though, and a lot of things will have to go right for this staff to lead the Sox to a division title. Porcello actually had better numbers than Verlander and Sanchez last year, and will hope to carry that momentum into 2015. Beyond that though, we have some serious issues. The only real familiar face coming back this year is Clay Buchholz, who really isn't a familiar face because he manages to miss huge portions of every season due a variety of ailments, most notably neck and back issues. He also has a difficult time pitching without 4 pounds of grease and vasoline in his dirty old mullet. Wade Miley is considered to be a nice piece, but also consider this: he has made 33 starts 3 years in a row, but his ERA, WHIP, walks, and HR's allowed have increased in each of the last two seasons. The same could be said for Justin Masterson, who has only had two good seasons in his career, and last years season bordered on absolute shite. Joe Kelly is another young and unproven performer trending in the wrong direction. So as you can see, although this rotation looks pretty good on paper, a lot of things are going to have to go right for this group to have any success.
Unless the Sox make some moves between now and the start of the season, this bullpen would make me a little nervous. Koji Uehara is now officially an old man, and the fact that he sputtered badly down the stretch might be a bit of a concern, despite the fact that he has been almost untouchable for five years now. Mujica and Tazawa had ok years but I don't think they wrote their mother to tell them all about it. Craig Breslow couldn't pitch his way out of a little league game last year, and Drake Britton and Matt Barnes are unknown quantities. The only good news for the Sox is that bullpens and relievers are sort of like the Red Sox. They can be awesome one year, garbage the next, then awesome again. So we'll wait and see.
My bold prediction is that the 2015 Boston Red Sox will finish 3rd in the A.L. East this year behind the Orioles and Blue Jays.

JKU-Pods ignite the sound stage in the rear of all 4-door '07-'18 JK Unlimited Wranglers, essentially replacing the anemic factory sound bar. The pods accept 6.5" or 6.75" speakers and coaxial or component systems.
While the pods can be used in any modified audio system, they're also easily integrated into your factory sound system by tapping into your Jeep's rear speaker wires for signal. There's any easy access point to do this along the floor by the passenger seat which is fully explained in the installation instructions. An amplifier can then power the pods, which are properly angled for listening and protection from the elements. Your fader control operates both the pods and the sound bar simultaneously, but the dialed-down factory output to the sound bar has been remedied by the JKU-Pods. The entire sound stage is vastly improved throughout the vehicle and your rear passengers can finally hear the music too!
JKU-Pods mount easily to the factory sport cage with included specialty screws. No modifications are needed because the pods mount directly over the cloth and padding. Each pod has a concealed wire-lead hole to hide speaker wires as they exit the pod and slip under the roll bar cover.
Version 1: The pods and mounting hardware only. You supply your own speakers, amplifier, wiring and connectors. The pods will arrive with the tweeter holes uncut, allowing you to cut the correct sized holes for your specific component tweeters, or leave them uncut to use coaxial speakers without separate tweeters.
Version 2: You can get the pods with Kicker® 6.75" Component speakers included. The tweeter holes are pre-cut and ready for the Kicker Component System. You will need to supply your own amplifier and its' wiring and connectors with this version.
Version 3: You can get the pods with the Kicker 6.75" Component speakers, a Kicker 2-channel amplifier, an 8-gauge amplifier wiring kit and all necessary connectors and hardware to incorporate the pods into your current sound system whether it's factory or modified.
All versions arrive with pre-cut woofer mounting holes ready to accept either 6.5" or 6.75" speakers. JKU-Pods purchased with Kicker equipment will arrive with pre-cut tweeter holes since their cut-out diameter is known.
The Kicker Component speakers are rated at 100 watts RMS per side. The polypropylene woofers have ribbed, UV treated surrounds, and the titanium dome tweeters have three level selections for dialing in the perfect amount of higher frequencies. The system crossovers can be mounted inside the pods or elsewhere in the vehicle. The Kicker amplifier sends a true 30 watts RMS to each pod for a total of 60 watts of continuous power at 4 ohms and it's more than enough; you'll likely set the gain control on the amp at about 30%.
JKU-Pods fit all '07-'18 Wrangler JK Unlimited models with hard and/or soft tops. Self-tapping screws with Climaseal® finish, black hex caps, rubber grommets, poly-fill and detailed instructions with photos are included with every pair of pods. JKU-Pods will not fit any of the 2-door JK Wranglers.
JKU-Pods fit only 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited (4-door Wranglers).

US responsible for death of Omar Torrijos, - former militar
The United States was responsible for the death of Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos to frustrate his moves towards a peaceful solution to the conflicts in Central America at the time, says a former military commander.
"What happened to Omar was a criminal conspiracy" says retired Colonel Roberto Diaz Herrera, cousin and secretary of Torrijos during his rule in the soon to be published book that the AFP agency has access to.
Diaz, 74, was Panama's Ambassador to Lima (2004-2009).
"For unclear geopolitical reasons the operation had to be conducted by the CIA and other military establishments and American security, " says Diaz.
In his work, to be published in late February, Diaz includes anecdotes, testimonies and documents related to the general who led the Panamanian regime from the coup of 1968 until his death.
Torrijos died on July 31, 1981 when the plane he was traveling in was lost and fell to the ground because of an accident, according to the official version, but Diaz says the device was subjected to an attack using explosives.
The Panamanian nationalist leader in 1977, sat next to U.S. President Jimmy Carter and signed the treaties that ceded sovereignty of the Canal to Panama in late 1999.
According to Diaz, Torrijos intended to use his influence with both governments and guerrillas in Central America, to prevent radicalism leading to civil and political armed clashes that were taking place in the region, something that Washington opposed, preferring a military defeat of the left. "Torrijos sought peace, not war," he says in the book.
The ex militar says Torrijos's death and the coming to power of General Manuel Antonio Noriega was sought by the the United States. Noriega was then serving as chief of intelligence, presumably on the CIA payroll. The Reagan administration required "a man controllable and obedient" and Noriega, who came to power in 1983, "fully met these requirements," says the retired officer. "They knew in detail his ties to drug trafficking and criminal adventures, which he had grabbed by the testicles," he added.
According to Diaz, the U.S. used to Noriega in its plan to deliver weapons financed by selling drugs to the opponents of the Sandinista government of Daniel Ortega, a scandal known as the Iran-Contra connection.
In 1989, the United States invaded Panama and overthrew Noriega, who is now serving his sentence in a Panamanian prison for the disappearance of opponents.
Before being extradited to Panama in December 2011, Noriega served 21 years in prison in the United States and France for drug trafficking and money laundering.
Diaz, who was imprisoned and exiled in Venezuela by the Noriega regime, said there was "no doubt" that the former dictator "participated in the conspiracy" gainst Torrijos. "Among all the secrets in the mind" of Noriega the plot that ended the life of General Torrijos must be one of the greatest," says the book.

Wright, Jaime Jo. The Curse of Misty Wayfair. Bloomington, MN: Bethany House Publishers. 2019.
Set in the vast woods of northern Wisconsin and fluctuating between the early 1900's and present day, The Curse of Misty Wayfair follows two women, Thea Reed and Heidi Lane, as they strive to discover their identities in different time periods yet with a connected thread surrounding a legend. Intrigue, mystery, suspense, and a bit of history combine into a flawless story by Christy Award winning author, Jaime Jo Wright.
Having read this author's previous novel, The House on Foster Hill, I knew what I was expecting to read. A uniquely suspenseful thriller, not scary but definitely eerie, The Curse of Misty Wayfair may have started out slowly but decidedly picked up the pace. Finding parts of it interesting (postmortem photography was actually an occupation), and parts of it a bit spooky (an image floating through the woods), this book certainly earned its place on my book shelf. Perhaps just a bit confusing in the beginning due to the switching of time periods and following the family lineage, sticking with the story straightened that out, making it a non-issue. A must-read!
