Irresistible Force

Alice Tym, 79, McDonald, Tennessee
Alice Tym has been known by many people for different things. Tennis fans knew her as a rising star of the '60s, challenging other rising stars like Billie Jean King and ascending to a #13 world ranking in 1969. Teammates at the University of Florida knew her as the woman who started their women's tennis team so they could all play. Scores of younger women knew her as "Coach Tym" as she carved out a hall of fame coaching career at UT-Chattanooga and Yale. Other college students knew her as their geography instructor. She's also been known as a knowledgeable writer for tennis and pickleball publications through the years.
Currently, she is known as "that lady you don't want to play" in Senior Games. Alice has always exhibited determination, courage, skill and competitiveness, and it's no different now as she gives it her all playing table tennis, pickleball and badminton at the National Senior Games level.
We wanted to know a little more about the woman behind the whirlwind on the court, and while Alice was all business in fielding questions in the following edited interview, she revealed a deeper current of caring for others, advocating for fairness in sport, and making good decisions leading to her better quality of life. She played as a pro for six years and could have continued, but the path she chose has been rewarding as she raised a family and poured her energy into coaching and teaching. She's still called on to coach others to elevate their game, and she's happy to do it for love of the sport and the people who live it.
Alice had the skill and the opportunity to chase her tennis dream but was always aware that most other girls her age did not have organized sports in school. She had to fight to start a tennis team to play her college level, and there would be many more fights as Title IX brought sweeping changes for equal access to sports. Read on to learn how she was personally impacted as a college coach.
It seems like it has been second nature for Alice Tym to pursue her own Personal Best for a lifetime, and she is enjoying the rewards for taking care of herself, keeping active and persevering through life's challenges, still ready for whatever comes next. Wanna play?
When did you start playing tennis? You were so good you were probably born with a racket!
Actually I started late, in the summer before my senior year of high school. I played baseball (not softball) and it reached a point where your father would like you to do something more 'lady like.' [Laugh] Maureen Connolly came to Illinois and gave a tennis clinic. I just took one look at her and thought, 'That's what I want to be' and I started playing tennis. Several years later in Miami, someone was needed to give a clinic with her and they asked me to do it. I was just thrilled to tell Maureen what she had meant to my life.
I learned how to play practicing on the brick wall of my next door neighbor's garage. I went on to the University of Florida and they didn't have a women's tennis team. So, I started the women's tennis team at the University of Florida.
You say that so nonchalantly. This was almost a decade before Title IX came in. You must have faced some resistance.
At that time Florida was the men's university and FSU was the women's university. Florida became co-ed shortly before I entered, and I don't think they felt particularly threatened by having a women's team because we really didn't get very much money. I'm not sure anyone saw what was coming on the horizon either. And yes, there were tremendous barriers. Our PE teacher Miss Pie drove us to matches in her station wagon. We didn't have all of the money that the men did.
It's good you had the talent and opportunity to pursue tennis to a high level. Not very many girls were fortunate to have organized sports in those days.
Title IX impacted me most as a coach after my playing career. I started coaching tennis at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga in 1974 and we won the national championships 3 consecutive years. Yet I made exactly 10% of what the men's coach made at the same university and he barely won conference championships. The woman who followed me sued them and gained parity.
I went on to Yale where the woman before me had sued and won. So, I walked from one of the lowest paid into the highest paid tennis coaching job in the country because of somebody else. So yes, I've got a Title IX attitude as well.
You are a relentless and passionate competitor, and you must have been a fierce advocate for equality.
Oh, you had to fight so hard. There were many real courageous women and there was always a fight. My daughter says that I just like to fight, and I do. But if I didn't, then what was going to happen?
Billie Jean King must be a role model for you. Did you know her back then?
[Laugh] We have the exact same birthday, and I was actually just reading her latest book All In. I have hundreds of stories about Billie Jean.
When I first started, I was chosen for the Western Junior Wightman Cup team and she roomed right across the hall. I was really a beginner and Billie Jean was already really good at 18. She treated me and all the players that were coming up really well. There are a lot of athletes that don't take the time for the lesser players. I remember at Wimbledon, Billie Jean took Cici Martinez to another court and worked with her during Wimbledon to help her. She really was classy about that. Everybody helps the stars, but she helped the lesser players.
Let's stay in those days for a moment. How did your tennis career take off?
Bill, my husband-to-be, played number 1 at Florida and he had worked with a good pro and helped me with strokes and stuff. I always wanted to travel because I had never really been anywhere, so every summer after school I would go to Europe and play. That competition really helped me. I got to play all the players. In those days men and women traveled together and I played all over the world, year after year.
Alice beside her International Tennis Association Hall of Fame display.
At your peak you were ranked 13th in the world and played at Wimbledon. Must have felt like a dream.
That was in 1969. I graduated in 1964 and got my Master's in 1966. I played all those years, and then I started playing all year. In those days, you could buy an annual ticket on Pan Am for $1,200. You had 52 weeks to travel, but you had to go back to where you started so you had to progress in the same general direction. I would start in Chicago, play San Francisco, Los Angeles, Honolulu, then jump over the Tokyo or Hong Kong or Taiwan, then drop down and play the Australian circuit for two or three months, and then back up to the Indian circuit for two or three months, and then you could play the Israeli circuit in the Middle East, drop down to Africa for two or three months or you could come into Europe and there were tournaments all over. One or two every week.
Then you move to Wimbledon. I would stay after and play the Irish championships on grass before going back to the U.S. Tennis Championships. And then I would go back to Chicago, buy another ticket and then start over again. That was from '66 to '70.
Wow! Just the constant travel is challenging. Did you realize you couldn't keep it up forever?
Actually, I never realized I can't do this forever. My husband wanted to settle down. He had been hurt and couldn't play anymore so we moved to The Bahamas and I had to make the decision either to go to the women's tour or to stop and have a family. That was the time that Billie Jean and Rosie Casals decided to sign contracts and became pros.
Then, Alex Guerry, who was important in southern tennis, asked my husband to come teach his children to play so we moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee. That is where I had my children, and I did nothing but kids sports for 25 years. They played every sport and I was too busy taking them everywhere. My daughter showed horses all around the country. My son Danny had a credit card at nine years old and played soccer and ended up playing professional tennis. And Billy skied. I loved having kids, they were so much fun and they still are. The only match I ever missed while coaching was when I gave birth to my daughter, but other than that I was at every game.
You have succeeded as a coach with an elite background. Some like you find it difficult to communicate and teach what comes naturally for them. Was that a challenge for you?
That's a great question, and you are absolutely right. The USTA made that mistake when they brought in a lot of coaches right off the tour and it wasn't the same.
I really think it is an academic attitude. I was very fortunate that my husband learned from a good coach and he was very observant. I went to a lot of clinics, and then a lot of trial and error. I taught 90 hours a week for years and you learn what works if you want to be successful. As far as coaching goes, if you want to win, you gotta find a way. Frank Ryan of the Cleveland Browns was my athletic director at Yale and we were on the same wavelength. We wanted to win.
Coaching women is much more difficult than teaching men. All guys think they can do it and think that they are great. Women have to believe if they are going to be any good. You have to make them believe that they deserve to win. For example, you can have them run so they can be fit and if they are fit then they won't quit. They believe they earned it. Same with lifting weights. At Yale, I had them lift weights but I always picked the time that the cute boys, like to hockey team, would be lifting weights. One of the girls married one of the hockey players. That was when people thought that their uterus would fall out if they lifted weights, but they were willing to do it because of the guys. Coaching women is a hard job. [Laugh]
Alice partners with pickleball legend Dick Johnson in 2018.
When did you get back to playing as a senior?
I happened to be in a store one day and Yvonne Stevenson came up to me and asked me to come play at the Wyatt Recreation Center and to partner in the Tennessee Senior Olympics. We won table tennis doubles in the state together and became good friends. She was a classy lady and one of the great joys of playing. That is how I got into it. Someone just walked up to me in a store and told me about it. [Laugh]
I went to table tennis because back in those days, you couldn't play a sport if you were considered a professional in that sport. So I couldn't do tennis and started playing table tennis. There was badminton at the club so I started that, and then they brought in Pickleball.
You're in for anything with a racket. What are you playing in this year's National Senior Games?
I'm playing pickleball and table tennis – singles, doubles and mixed doubles. The difficulty for me is not everyone wants to travel to different places for meets so I have different partners all over the country.
What did you think of Pickleball when it first came out?
I think pickleball is so easy that it makes it possible for people to play who aren't able to play other sports. I think it's fabulous. I would like to see them put it in urban areas where kids can play. It has tremendous potential.
I am competitive about everything, so it fit right in with me. It is much simpler than tennis, but if you want to be successful at the sport then you have to learn the strokes. You can't be a tennis player on the table tennis court and be a good player. Having tennis strokes and tennis mentality has helped, though. It is chip and charge and that is the way grass tennis is. That is how pickleball is, but it has its own nuances.
You are a fierce competitor by nature, Alice. Is there anything you do to intimidate your opponents?
No, I think you do it with your paddle or with your racket. I grew up where you wore white, you spoke multiple languages and you acted like you'd been there before. You try to be a class act. I wouldn't want to trash talk someone else because I have as much respect for my opponent as I hope they do for me. You don't always know what people are going through either. Billie Jean was classy.
I like Senior Games the most because they really respect the seniors. I have made tremendous friends through them, and some have become very dear friends. I think that is true for a lot of us.
What about tennis? Still play?
It's sad. I don't. I decided to stop because when I would play tennis, I would see how far I slipped. But when I play table tennis, I can see how far I have come. Mentally, I just couldn't handle being crappy.
That's an honest answer. Are you coaching seniors now?
I try not to, but I do that all the time because people ask. [Laugh] We have a little group that goes and gives clinics and exhibitions in pickleball, and I run drills whenever there is a club that wants me. It's not a formal thing, but it's the right thing to do. So many people don't realize that they need to drill and they need to learn. If I don't do it, who will?
You wrote about tennis for years and continue to write for Pickleball magazine. You were also a geography instructor while you were coaching in college. Do you still teach?
No, I retired about 5 years ago. I loved teaching but I tell you, I haven't been back since the day I retired. I was so busy with all the other connections that it was seamless. I know people that miss it and they come back. I just went from one life to another. I do think that happiness is a choice and I think your life is a choice.
You've made a lot of good choices, Alice. Thanks for joining the Senior Games Movement!

An interesting art piece which takes the wire crossing between the Twin Towers of New York (of course destroyed by the terrorist attack on 9/11) by Philipe Petit and the same sort of thing from a Spider-Man (aka Peter Parker) point of view. Very simple but still an interesting postcard.
Both of course have been subject of a feature film so this again reaches out to various theme collectors.
Described on the reverse side as London's newest, most exciting and extraordinary exhibition which 'brings to life' hundreds of the amazing facts and feats from the Guinness Book of Records, the world's best selling reference book.
The interesting thing about a postcard image like this is that it can fit into so many themes. Here we have space (space-craft), Transport (Aeroplane, Zeppelin, the Wright Brothers 'Wright Flyer', Concorde, land speed record craft and tractor), Animals (snake – bottom right, Whale skeleton) and you also have Mount Everest and the Grand Canyon along with Elvis Presley and other tallest and smallest to largest people. An amazing collection of record holders and a very interesting postcard.
A number of postcards were released prior to the actual opening of the Walt Disney World theme park in Florida. These are artist's impressions of the area and these image postcards are highly collected and as such reach prices between $10 and $20 dollars each on eBay.
This particular postcard depicts a woman water skiing on the lake (I believe this would have been the lake behind the Contemporary Hotel where you can still do water sports – last year I went para-gliding here).
These postcards were obviously still on sale after the park opened as this one was sent by someone staying at the Contemporary Hotel, as they mention in their message. They also write: "The Monorail goes right into the lobby". A lovely card and highly collectible.
Westminster is a company that specialize is new coin and stamp first day covers for collectors. I have bought a few covers from them myself and as a result I sometimes receive advertising material promoting their latest material for sales. They have issued several coin related postcards of which I depict four here.
Items relating to the 2012 London Olympics have become very collectible and there is a specialized Olympic Collectors Society and all stamps and postcards are eagerly sought out. This is why this particular coin advert card is so good. It is an item from before the actual games when in all honesty the games were not really sought out. It was the tremendous success of the Torch Rally and then the actual games themselves which initiated a whole enthusiasm for 2012 Olympic related material. I myself got caught up in this and as a result I have a collection of postcards of the London Games. This card is part of this collection.
This is another London Olympic Games 2012 postcard and the coin depicted has the 2012 Olympic games logo on it. The coin also has a picture of Winston Churchill on it which places it into another collecting theme. This is a very unusual London Games postcard and one worth seeking out.
I have a specific RMS TITANIC collection (of which I will post items from in the future) and any new or different postcard I eagerly snap up. This one was a very unusual one. This coin is from Jersey and the coin has a smashing image of the RMS Titanic upon it. This coin was issued for the centenary which occurred in 2012. The actual centenary of the sinking fell on a Saturday and knowing this in advance I set out to reproduce the final meal served on board in its entirety. It took months of planning and days of pre-preparation but on the night we served 18 people with the menu options. It was a cracking night and one I will long remember.
Railway is one of the top transport collected themes and any type of postcard which in anyway depicts a train will be snapped up. This is a nice example of a coloured coin. These have become quite popular over the past few years and more and more of them have been issued. This is the first of the new range of coloured coins that I found depicted on postcard.
This Russian issued postcard depicts a drawing by Alexi Leonov of himself during the very first space-walk. Classed as an 'Extravehicular Activity' Leonov's spacewalk lasted for 12 minutes. A highly decorated cosmonaut Lenov is now a celebrity and has been to the UK and has attended signing events.
INTOURIST issued this postcard and they were the official state Russian (Soviet Union) travel agency. The organization was founded in 1929 and was staffed by NKVD and later KGB officials.
Having posted the Apollo card earlier it seemed only right to immediately post a Russian space postcard, after all they were the first to place a man into space.
This is a single postcard from a series issued to coincide with the Apollo 11 space mission to the Moon. This was the first manned mission to successfully land men on the moon's surface and here you can see an official photograph of Buzz Aldrin on the moon's surface taken by astronaut Neil Armstrong. Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the moon followed by Aldrin. This was back in 1969 when this postcard was issued.
This particular copy of the postcard depicted above was used in 1973 to receive a MACCLESFIELD, CHESHIRE single ring cancel dated 16 NOV 73. This was the date of the SKYLAB 4 LAUNCH and there is a straight line text cachet explaining this with the date. Above this is a larger cachet for the 'UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER' explaining that this card was 'POSTED AT JODRELL BANK'. The large dish located at Jodrell Bank is pictured within this large cachet.
Skylab 4 was the third manned mission and it placed the final crew aboard the first American space station. The launch took place at Kennedy Space Centre, Florida and the mission lasted 84 days. The astronauts orbited the Earth 1214 times. The three-man crew consisted of Gerald P. Carr, Edward G. Gibson and William R. Pogue.
Another card with cachets and markings which fits into my philatelic collection but it also has a nice space theme connection as well. I am not a massive space collector but I do specialize in the 1969 Moon Landing cards and the Space Shuttle.
This fits nicely into my wildlife collection which does have a very strong bird selection in it. This particular card was posted out in late 1958 (cancelled 13th Aug – message hand dated as 12th Aug) from St Albans. Royal Publications Ltd published a range of paintings on postcard including many bird images but also landscapes and other subjects.
A superb early military postcard depicting a painting by the well-known military artist Harry Payne who had a large number of his paintings published as postcards.
This postcard was published by the famous postcard issuing company 'Raphael Tuck & Sons' who produced huge numbers of postcards in the early years of the 20th century. This is one of their 'Oilette' produced postcards and is numbered 8761.
This postcard was published by special request and was sold entirely in aid of The Prince of Wales National Relief Fund.
This rather unusual piece of art was published on this Boomerang rack card some years ago now and at first glance it would perhaps escape any great interest. For me it was the inclusion of the Thunderbird crafts, Thunderbird 1 and Thunderbird 2, which made this a very interesting addition to my television collection. I also suspect that this is a card missing from many Thunderbird collections. I love these unusual postcards.
Boomerang issued postcard from 1996 promoting the BBC CHILDREN IN NEED charity TV night – Friday 22nd November 1996.

To melt the coconut butter, add it to a safe microwavable bowl and microwave for 1 minute, stir and repeat if needed, in 30 seconds increments.
To melt the coconut oil, add it to a safe microwavable bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stir and repeat if needed, in 30 seconds increments.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients: coconut flakes, melted coconut butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract, stir with a spatula until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Using a measuring cup (or with your fingers) press it evenly into the pan.
Add dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl, microwave for 1 minute, stir and microwave for another 30 seconds if needed, until chocolate has melted. Stir well with a spatula, until smooth and combined.
Poor chocolate glaze over the coconut mixture. Garnish with shredded coconut.
Refrigerate for at least 1.5 hours before serving.
Cut into bars, store in a container in the fridge at all times as coconut oil and butter start melting at room temperature.
Im already in love with this just by the name, Coconut is so yummy! I can't wait to make this! also can't go wrong with no bake! Love it!
Thank you very much Mary, these are so unbelievably good!
Oh my, this looks toooo good. It might become my next favorite go to treat. I am thinking about using heated coconut manna instead of the heated conconut butter oil. Thanks for a great way to bring together chocolate & coconut.
These look amazing! I'm sure my vegan friends would be super happy with this snack!
Looks really easy, healthy, and delicious!
Microwaves being so unhealthy, I will try just melting on the stove. Do you think that will be ok?
I must try these! They sound so good. However, where would one find coconut butter? I have never seen that in our stores. (I live in the area of Edmonton Alberta Canada) I must make these asap,my mouth is watering just thinking about them. I wounder if they taste like my favorite chocolate bar: Bounty? Yum yum! Thanks for the receipt. I can't wait to make it. I just hope I can find coconut butter. One recipe I wanted to try a long time ago required coconut cream NOT coconut milk, so it said. Never did find it. I wounder if they are indeed the same thing???
Thanks Catalina (not sure which spelling of your name is correct. I see it spelled both Catalina and Katalina on this page).
The Coconut butter was very hard to find. I finally found it at Superstore in the natural foods section. I made these bars last night. I have to say, when deciding to add 1 or 2 tbsp of the maple syrup I tried a little bit of the coconut mixture to see. It tasted terrible, it was just greasy coconut, had no sweetness to it at all. So I decided to add the full 2 tbsp of the maple syrup and completed the recipe as I had already completed the chocolate mixture. I hoped once the chocolate was added and was refrigerated it would taste better. BOY DID EVER!!! I am so glad I decide to finish the recipe, I was real close to throwing it out. This is such a great recipe for coconut lovers! It was so easy to make, well, except for trying to dig out the one cup of coconut butter from the jar. That stuff is hard. Lol Easy clean up and oh so tasty!
Catalina, this is a really great recipe, thank you. I do have a couple questions. Does this need to be kept in the fridge? I think it should be ok covered and left on the counter, right? Secondly, as this was not an inexpensive recipe to make, I wonder, have you tried freezing any? I would think this would freeze good, but sure would appreciate your opinion on it.
Hi Jennifer, I have no idea how I missed this comment but THANK YOU very much for taking the time to share your feedback. First, sorry for the name confusion lol the right spelling is Catalina 🙂 but I dont mind Katalina either.
I agree, that is a great recipe and the bars taste so good, I am so happy that you took the time to finish it!
To answer your questions: better keep the bars in the refrigerator, the coconut cream tends to melt at room temperature, hence the bars will become softer or if its too warm, they will melt.
Hi, I have a question it may seem silly. Can I meet the coconut butter with the oil at the same time or,is it going to cause something weird to happen? Thanks!
I made these Keto by using Lilly's stevia sweetened chocolate chips and Choco Love's Maple flavored sugar-free syrup. They were fantastic!!! Thanks so much for such a delicious treat!
Such a great idea, thank you for sharing the substitutions with us, I am sure it will help other readers.
I added extra coconut oil in the chocolate glaze and extra coconut butter on the base which helped make it a little less crumbly. Make sure you press in the pan well!

Fostering innovation and invention J'pura University celebrates diamond jubilee
Published : 12:01 am February 9, 2019 | No comments so far | |
The winners of RB Global Challenge 2018 – L to R: Mr. Madusha de Silva, Ms. Virgin Fernando , Mr. Umendra Abeynayeke
The University of Sri Jayewardenepura (USJP) celebrated the diamond jubilee since its establishment as the Vidyodya University in 1959, though it harbours a much longer history dating back to 1873 when the erudite monk, Ven. Hikkaduwe Sri Sumangala Thera, established the Vidyodaya Pirivena.
Marking this milestone, the university together with its Innovation, Invention and Venture Creation Council (IIVCC), celebrated the institution's fruitful results and decorative awards.
The university celebrates the research, breakthrough discoveries and inventions produced by the institution with the purpose of highlighting timely social necessities. The IIVCC promotes these novelties integrating them with educational, socio-cultural, environmental and economic needs and challenges of the 21st century.
"We have surpassed expectations and established our own research laboratories. Even universities like Oxford and Cambridge have collaborated with us on new research," Vice Chancellor Prof. Sampath Amaratunge said.
The IIVCC, while producing social solutions to relevant issues, also produces young entrepreneurs and patent holders, creating employment opportunities for the masses.
"Once dubbed as the 'university of the penniless,' we have always borne the responsibility of social welfare. Accordingly, we have made it a point to develop our medical, engineering and technology faculties along with our already prospering arts faculty. As a result, we have produced an array of new creations," said IIVCC Co-Chairperson Prof. Shirantha Heenkenda.
As evidence to the social crises the university's research addresses, the scientists at USJP's Centre for Dengue Research presented their groundbreaking findings.
A team of scientists set out to find why only 10% of Dengue patients suffer from severe haemorrhagic fever. They were able to discover that the anti-bodily response to the Dengue NS1 protein was quite different within the 90% of mild cases as compared to the 10%. Having constructed the necessary assays to measure such antibodies, the team was able to aid the development of Dengue vaccination through their work. Their research, conducted wholly within the university, was published in the globally-renowned scientific journal 'Nature Communications.'
Cancers are grave crises in Sri Lanka and colorectal cancer alone is the fourth most common. Taking this into account, Dr. Bawantha Gamage, senior lecturer of the USJP Medical Sciences' Department of Surgery, spearheaded the modified Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (mERAS) protocol to enable faster recovery for patients with colorectal cancer in the country. Replacing traditional methods, this system is able to discharge patients following 4 to 5 days of treatment.
"Currently, colorectal cancer patients experience the fruits of our research. Since 2014, we have treated over 100 patients successfully. Our next step is to globalise this initiative," said Dr. Gamage, whose teams' efforts made history and won the title 'Best Surgical Team of the Year 2018' at the BMJ South Asia awards ceremony. Furthermore, numerous success stories from among the students at USJP were declared.
Dulan Dias who won the Gold Award for the Tertiary Student Project at APICTA 2018 was able to bring glory to both his university and country. His invention, 'Komposer – Automated Musical Note Generation based on Lyrics with Recurrent Neural Networks' employed artificial intelligence to confer human creativity to a machine. His programme designs suitable melodies for input lyrics. He credits the university for pushing his project to reach international heights.
Yet another student achievement esteemed by the university was the victory at RB Global Challenge 2018 by three USJP management undergraduates. (Ms) Virgin Fernando, Madusha de Silva and Umendra Abeynayeke introduced a special mobile vaporizer against mosquitoes carrying the Dengue virus. They reined number one from among 19 participant countries representing 80% of the world population. Not only was it the first time a Sri Lankan team won this competition, but also the first time it participated. The three victors were invited to participate in the 'One Young World 2019' youth summit held in London. The myriad of fruits borne by IIVCC predominantly tackle socio-economic issues within the nation. Prof. Pradeep Jayweera presented the discovery of a low-cost Li-ion/S rechargeable battery for energy storage devices using Ilmenite — utilising Ilmenite resources of Pulmudai ensuring cost relieving local manufacture. The discussed venture received world recognition at the 2018 Lithium Conference held in Australia.
Exploring the objective of alleviating poverty through science, Prof. Nilwala Kottegoda introduced the university's successful attempt to produce a novel type of fertilizer using nanotechnology.
"When we mix fertilizers like Urea and Phosphate in soil, only 30% go towards reaping fruit while the remainder is released to the environment," she said.
Their cheap and efficient alternative has shown a yield improvement of up to 15% and a 25-50% reduction in the fertilizer usage. The endeavour received the national award for the "best innovation with commercial potential" in 2011, won the approval of four patents and nominated Prof. Kottegoda as one of the world's top nine inventive women scientists by the World Intellectual Property Organisation in 2018.
From digestives which eradicate micro-sleep – a leading cause of road accidents to bacteria based non-toxic dyes promoting the local textile industry – the university has published its countless discoveries and innovations in their website.
"The engineering and technology faculties were our latest additions. We have integrated 60 postgraduates from around the world to these faculties during the past two years. My vision is to attach 40 more this year," Vice Chancellor Prof. Sampath Amaratunge announced when talking about the way forward.
Believing that the youth possesses the answers to solve the world's problems, Prof. Amaratunge elaborated on the institution's efforts to nurture its students both physically and mentally.
Concluding on a note of ambitious hope, the USJP commemorated over a century of growth with the promise of continuing this stride and guiding the curious mind to better the world of tomorrow.

Middle Eastern jewel with a perfect combination of unbelievable desert landscape, surreal mountain scenery and welcoming hospitality of locals. Oman is a matter of the heart.
An Arab country located on the south-eastern part of Arabian Peninsula in the Middle East – that is Oman, a country with strategical location by the Persian Gulf and an access to the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman.
The Sultanate of Oman share borders with United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Yemen (plus also the maritime borders with Pakistan and Iran). The country covers the total area of 309 thousand square kilometres and has a population of more than 4.4 million people. The official language is Arabic and the national religion is Islam.
The capital city of Oman and also the largest city is Muscat.
Muscat is also an important political and economic centre of the country. Mostly thanks to the rich oil reserves, Oman belongs to a high income economies with fast development over last 40 years, today focusing on tourism and international trade of for example dates or fish.
Historically, the territory where the nation is situated has belonged to a powerful empire (the Omani Sultanate) with great influence. That lasted till the 20th century when the United Kingdom took over the power and started influencing the area. Thanks to the strategical position, the capital city of Muscat always served as a trading port for the Middle East, the Indian Ocean and especially the region of the Persian Gulf.
Oman's unexpected beauty is hidden mainly in the warm Arab hospitality, the culture of the Middle East and the fascinating natural beauty. The landscape of Oman is full of stunning mountains and incredibly varied terrain, inducing a feeling like being on a completely different planet.
The nation, apart from its neighbours, is not that crowded and feels less touristy. However, the spectacular desert surrounding, modern capital and wonderful coastline make Oman a top choice in terms of holiday destinations which will stay close to your heart forever.

Q: Who qualifies as a federal contractor?
Q: Are federal subcontractors exempt from these requirements?
Q: What are the stakes for not complying with posting requirements for federal contractors?
Q: What posters are required for every new or long-term federal contractor?
Q: Is there a simple solution for posting compliance for a federal contractor?
Q: Are there special posting requirements for some situations?
Q: Are there other posters that may be required for federal contractors?
Q: Can we display federal contractor posters at just one location, such as our corporate office?
Q: Are there other compliance requirements for federal contractors?
Q: How will we know when one of the federal contractor posting requirements changes?
Posting and compliance requirements for federal contractors are extensive and can be confusing. That's because federal contractors must meet many of the same standards as federal government agencies, in addition to all the state and federal requirements for private companies. Fortunately there are simple solutions to poster requirements and resources for more complex aspects of compliance.
A. Many different types of companies are covered under these requirements including a company that performs $10,000 or more total on one or more federal contracts in a 12-month period, and a company that holds a federal contract for $10,000 or more. Companies with a federally assisted construction contract exceeding $10,000 are also federal contractors, as are some other types of companies. Even small companies that do business with the federal government are likely to be classified as federal contractors or federal subcontractors.
A: No. Federal subcontractors must meet the same posting and compliance regulations as the federal contractor. That means if your company is performing work under a federal contract held by another firm, you may very well be a federal subcontractor.
A: The stakes are high for a federal contractor or subcontractor – even higher than for most companies. Failure to comply with posting standards could result in loss of a federal contract generating thousands of dollars in revenue, as well as the usual fines and penalties that all companies face.
A: US regulations require that all federal contractors display 11 labor law posters. Many are the same as required for any company, but some are unique to federal contractors.
A: Yes! The convenient Federal Contractor poster, combined with a Complete State, Federal and OSHA labor law poster, meets all these requirements. Purchasing and displaying just a few posters is a simple, cost-effective solution.
Q: Are there special posting requirements for special situations like telecommuters or employees whose first language is not English?
A. Yes. When an employee works from home, the federal contractor should provide both both state and federal posters electronically.. Some employers are required to display posters in an additional language, when a significant number of employees speak a first language other than English. An employer may be required to display Braille posters when one or more workers are sight impaired.
A: Yes. Because every federal contract is different, some will include additional posting requirements related to that project. This website has an excellent reference for additional compliance items.
A: No. Posters must be displayed at every building where employees work on a federal contract, preferably in highly visible areas such as near the time clock or in an employee break room. Large buildings with workers scattered across a wide area will need multiple postings to ensure that every employee is exposed to them. The employee handbook should also refer employees to the labor law posters as an up-to-date resource.
A: Yes, there are a number of other compliance requirements for federal contractors. They are listed below. Click on the program name for more information and resources.
A: Subscribe to our email newsletter or check your posters for updates here.
A: The Federal Office of Contract Compliance Programs or OFCCP, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or EEOC and the US Department of Labor have more information.
