I earned my college degree at Brandeis University, studying European and American history and Jewish studies. During a post-graduate year as a Visiting Fulbright Scholar at the University of London I had my introduction to both Islamic history and Hebrew poetry written in Muslim Spain, and that decided my research field: the history of Jews living in Arab lands in the Middle Ages. I completed an M.A. in history at Columbia University, followed by four years of training in classical Judaica at the Jewish Theological Seminary and then my doctoral work at that same institution.
My first book, Jewish Self-Government in Medieval Egypt (1980), listed below, a study of the origins of an important institution of medieval Jewish self-government in Egypt, is based primarily on Cairo Geniza documents, and most of my scholarship since then has centered on that unique source. In 1987 I contributed a book to a new series of basic introductions to Jewish history and culture to be translated into Arabic for readers in countries like Egypt. I am particularly proud of that publication—an overview of Jewish life in Islamic Egypt through the mid-14th century—for it is, as far as I know, still the only book of its kind in Arabic written by a specialist trained in Jewish history.
Before I retired, I taught the Department's courses in medieval Jewish history, as well as graduate seminars dealing either with Near Eastern Jewish history (the dhimma system) or Judeo-Arabic and Geniza documents. I was instrumental (along with Professor Udovitch) in training graduate students to use the Geniza for Islamic social and economic history. Books resulting from these seminars are Olivia Remie Constable's Trade and Traders in Muslim Spain: The Commercial Realignment of the Iberian Peninsula, 900–1500 (Cambridge University Press, 1994); Hassan Khalilieh's Islamic Maritime Law: An Introduction (Brill, 1998); and Roxani Eleni Margariti’s Aden & the Indian Ocean Trade: 150 Years in the Life of a Medieval Arabian Port (University of North Carolina Press, 2007). Several other graduate students did a field in Jewish-Arab history for their Generals or wrote theses on Jewish history using the Geniza, among other sources. These include Arnold Franklin’s This Noble House: Jewish Descendants of King David in the Medieval Islamic East (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2013); Uriel Simonsohn’s A Common Justice: The Legal Allegiances of Christians and Jews under Early Islam (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011); and Phillip I. Ackerman-Lieberman’s The Business of Identity: Jews, Muslims, and Economic Life in Medieval Egypt (Stanford University Press, 2014). Students working on the Jews in the later period include Yaron Ayalon, who published Natural Disasters in the Ottoman Empire: Plague, Famine and Other Misfortunes (Cambridge University Press, 2015) and Jessica Marglin, author of Across Legal Lines: Jews and Muslims in Modern Morocco (Yale University Press). Lev E. Weitz, who also did some of his studies with me, recently published Between Christ and Caliph: Law: Marriage, and Christian Community in Early Islam (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018). Two Columbia University PhD students did their Judeo-Arabic and Geniza training with me: Marina Rustow, author of Heresy and the Politics of Community: The Jews of the Fatimid Empire (Cornell University Press, 2008) and Jessica L. Goldberg, who wrote Trade and Institutions in the MedievaL Mediterranean: The Geniza Merchants and their Business World (Cambridge University Press, 2012).
My book, Under Crescent and Cross (1994, 2008), listed below, a comparative study of Islamic-Jewish and Christian-Jewish relations in the Middle Ages, tries to avoid the pitfalls of tendentious writing about the Jews of Islam, emphasizing, on the one hand, the myth of a Jewish-Muslim interfaith utopia or, on the other hand, the counter-myth of relentless Islamic persecution. This book has been translated into Turkish, Hebrew, German, Arabic, French, Russian, Romanian, and Czech. In 2005 I published two related books: Poverty and Charity in the Jewish Community of Medieval Egypt and The Voice of the Poor in the Middle Ages: An Anthology of Documents from the Cairo Geniza. My most recent book is Maimonides and the Merchants: Jewish Law and Society in the Medieval Islam World, a study of Maimonides’ Code of Jewish Law in the light of Geniza documents about everyday commercial life.
Many years ago I taught an undergraduate seminar in the History Department with Natalie Zemon Davis on the Jews in Early Modern Europe; the idea for the book on the autobiography of a 17th-century Venetian Rabbi listed below arose out of teaching that course.
In 2009, I was named the Khedouri A. Zilkha Professor of Jewish Civilization in the Near East, and in 2010 I was honored to be the first winner of the Goldziher Prize, awarded by Merrimack College for scholarship promoting better understanding between Jews and Muslims. In my retirement I have been a visiting professor at Columbia University, New York University, and New York University in Abu Dhabi. When I was in Abu Dhabi I was invited to lecture on the Cairo Geniza at King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Value For Money
The WD My Passport Ultra is a promising solution to our backup needs. It is light and compact. Copying and pasting files is swift and the included software is useful, especially the security app
It has been some time when the 2 TB variant of the My Passport Ultra from WD was launched in the market. However, the current variant which is available in the market is compatible with Windows 10 and that is the reason I decided to review it.
Design And Build
The WD My Passport Ultra is quite compact for a 2 TB external hard disk. It easily fits into my palm. It is not heavy which makes it portable. The build is complete plastic and the base seems robust but the same cannot be said about the top blue colour surface. Thus, a proper handling is a must.
Then there is a notification light which turns on when the disk is attached to the computer.
The disk comes with USB 3.0 connectivity which makes for a fast file transfer operation. The upload speed (copying data to the WD My Passport Ultra) which I got on my Sony Vaio i5 laptop was 22 MB per second. The download speed was 30 MB per second. Going by the standards, this is a neat speed and I am impressed.
The amount of vibration when the WD My Passport Ultra is in operation is minimal. It is comparable with the disks with 1 TB capacity. Same goes for the heat factor and you can use it for extended hours without any worries.
The effective storage space which the user gets is 1.81 TB. The disk has some some setups of apps for Windows and Mac pre-included.
One of the apps which I like is the WD security setup. It enables the user to add password protection to the files present on the WD my passport ultra disk. A cool feature to keep data safe and maintain privacy.
The WD My Passport Ultra is a promising solution to our backup needs. It is light and compact. Copying and pasting files is swift and the included software is useful, especially the security app.

The incident reminded people of the dramatic and well-known Tham Luang cave rescue in Thailand.
Subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest stories and updates.
A film crew consisting of 30 people who became trapped in Gua Tempurung in Perak were safely and successfully brought out yesterday.
Perak Police Chief, Datuk Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri, said the group comprised locals and Singaporeans.
He said the Fire and Rescue Department was informed about the incident, and a joint rescue operation was carried out.
No injuries or fatalities have been reported.
30 kru perfileman warga tempatan dan Singapura terperangkap di Gua Tempurung ekoran air naik mendadak berjaya diselamatkan dan dibawa keluar 6.10 petang tadi – Ketua Polis Perak— BERNAMA (@bernamadotcom) October 26, 2022
📸 @PDRMsia pic.twitter.com/bCLUAd1wgy
Mohd Yusri said they received a notification at 4.10 pm that there were people trapped in the Gua Tempurung following a rise in water levels.
An initial investigation found that the incident started after heavy rain continued from 4 pm.
The film crews was trapped when the water rose suddenly in the cave to a depth of about 1.5 meters.
The film crew were shooting a movie called ‘Bursting Point’.
A Sense Of Deja Vu
The incident reminded people of the Tham Luang Cave rescue in northern Thailand in 2018.
All 12 boys and their coach Ekapol Chanthawong, or “Coach Ek,” were eventually rescued after being stuck in the cave for 18 days due to heavy rainfall.
Two men died in the rescue, retired Thai navy diver Saman Kunan on 5 July and Thai Navy Seal member Beirut Pakbara a year later following a blood infection he contracted in the caves.
More than 10,000 people were involved in the rescue, including more than 100 divers.
Netizens said the recent incident in Gua Tempurung is a reminder that safety is paramount.
Ya Allaahh haritu tengok Cave Rescurle Thai tu, teringat masuk Gua Tempurung pastu pikir gua tu pun possible juga jd terperangkap. Baca berita ni haa kau jd betul2 https://t.co/iYncznZ5FA— 😇✨ (@abcdayah21) October 26, 2022
In 2021, National Geographic released a documentary on the incident titled The Rescue.
On 22 September 2022, Netflix released a six-episode miniseries to chronicle the against-all-odds story.
Some Malaysians said they wanted to visit Gua Tempurung after watching the movie.
Thankfully, they could not do so as Gua Tempurung was closed to the public in October for filming.
Hari sebelum tu, aku 1 family layan thai cave rescue. Esoknya terus rasa macam eh nak lah pergi gua tempurung. Tetiba tak boleh pergi sebab ada shooting the whole month. Oh yg reply dekat tweet tu kata tak tengok cuaca ke sebelum pergi tu, dorang dah start shooting dari awal oct— 🏴Salwa Baharin🏴 (@salwahaneem93) October 26, 2022

T1 has officially settled on a Dota 2 roster after six disastrous months in the game.
That team consists of the following players:
T1’s Dota 2 roster will also work alongside League of Legends coach Choi “cCarter” Byoung-hoon, and will be coached by former MVP Phoenix player Pyo “MP” No-a.
Following The International 2019, the iconic League of Legends organization expanded into Dota 2. The initial plan was to sign Forev and build a Korean-majority roster around him.
The team has taken in and released a number of players in the months since, ranging from Dota 2 rookies to accomplished veterans such as Johan “pieliedie” Åström and Kim “Febby” Yong-min. None of the teams have had even a modest level of success thus far.
The team that competed in the ESL One Los Angeles southeast Asian open qualifier underwhelmed, but did score a number of wins. The team missed out on making the regional qualifiers by a hair after being defeated by Chai “Mushi” Yee Fung’s IO Dota2. That was apparently enough to convince T1 to sign the team to a more long-term deal.
T1’s official lineup will surely vie for a spot at the EPICENTER Major 2020. They will once again be forced to compete in the SEA open qualifiers, which will be a tough journey for the team unless it gels quickly.


In a battle between DS owners of the Autobot and Decepticon versions of the official Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen game, the good guys have the edge.
The new Transformers game, like its DS predecessor, has an online web-site-based metagame that pits its owners against each other. And, as of today, the Autobot side is winning.
A check of the official website for the so-called Battle for Earth, shows Autobots earning more than 26 million pieces of Energon compared to almost 22 million by Decepticon players, four days into a battle among all the game's web-connected owners.
Like a Pokemon or Nintendogs DS game, the Transformers DS movie games come in multiple versions. Non-rich people purchasing the DS version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen must make a choice:
Buy the Decepticon or Autobot version.
Whichever version a player has determines their faction when they connect their DS online and join to fight in the metagame battle. Players don't compete in standard competitive multiplayer matches. Instead, connecting the game online unlocks new daily challenges. The challenges are single-player snippets of action set in the 3D enviornments of the DS game. Performance in those challenges is uploaded back to the official site and points are added to a faction's tally. The battlegrounds are spread across six regions of a global map and the war continues until one faction controls the six regions. Currently, Decepticons only have a strong edge in the game's Australia region.
This morning, I bought the Decepticons version of the DS game. I connected online and decided to help the war effort in Europe. My single-player mission involved trying to defend a region for about two minutes. I was terrible at it, possibly owing to how low-powered my starter-Decepticon is. I was able to hold off for about 15 seconds, earning 450 experience points (for rank) and several hundred bits of Energon. I'm the 784th-most valuable contributor to the Decepticon effort. Our top fighter has contributed 1,218,150 pieces of Energon.
The metagame concept used in these Transformers games assumes a close to even balance between those who will buy the Autobot version of the Activision-published game and the Decepticon version. It's a safe guess, apparently. An Activision rep I interviewed about this metagame for the first Transformers DS game in 2007 told me that Hasbro has determined that Transformers fans are split 50/50 between the two factions (So nobody's for the Quintessons? Thank goodness.)
Maybe the creators of hip-hop games should divide their games into East Coast and West Coast flavors. Or Gran Turismo could be sold in Democrat and Republican editions.
Whatever the case, the Decepticons could use some help.

American McGee's Alice is easily one of my favorite PC games of all time. The game has it all: imaginative level design, solid gameplay, a unique feel, exceptional music, and a bloody butcher knife. Now, nearly a decade after the original's release, we're learning more about its sequel, Alice: Madness Returns.
Although American McGee's name no longer graces the title, he's very much involved with the project, and has been interviewed by GameTrailers about the title. According to McGee, Madness Returns will build on everything folks liked about the original: "ten years later, we've been able to listen to everyone's comments on what they liked and disliked about the first game, then basically distill all that down into the product you're seeing today." The video interview doesn't contain actual gameplay footage, but it showcases a mix of cut scenes, screenshots, and concept art that oozes with the kind of imaginative (or perhaps drug-fueled) styling that made the original such a treat to play.
Madness Returns is scheduled to hit the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 some time next year. McGee was showing the game in a pre-alpha state, so it's probably not far enough along for a release early in 2011. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going turn up Chris Vrenna's delightfully creepy soundtrack for the original. Thanks to Rock, Paper, Shotgun for the tip.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is urging the Bureau of Land Management and the Interior Department to better manage federal lands where animals graze to reduce the dangers of wildfires.
Lee made the remarks during a hearing in Washington, D.C. this week when federal land managers testified that they’re coming up with wildfire plans for each state.
“The Bureau of Land Management manages over 1,400 separate grazing allotments in Utah, covering 22 acres of land… Rangeland fires also cause a whole lot of damage in the West each year,” Lee said.
The federal government is projected to spend more than $5 billion this year on fire suppression.
Firefighters across the country are preparing for a bad wildfire season as grass and plants that grew during the past winter, which saw record levels of snow and rain, start to dry out.

Kate Middleton will be 'keeping children at home' says expert
The new picture, which was shared on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's social media channels, show Prince George and Princess Charlotte volunteering with their father Prince William. The photo was taken by Kate in April and is understood to have been taken alongside a series of pictures the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released for Princess Charlotte's fifth birthday last month.
In the pictures released for Charlotte's birthday the young Princess was photographed delivering food parcels to the most vulnerable in Sandringham.
Prince George was not in the pictures so this latest photo from the Duchess confirms the third in line to the British throne also took part in the volunteer work.
Although at the time the photos were released, eagle-eyed royal noticed Kate and Prince William featured in two of the four pictures in a very subtle and cheeky way.
As well as encouraging their children to take part in helping the community, Kate and William have also been volunteering during the lockdown.

Initially, Kensington Palace had refused to confirm whether the Queen’s grandson had followed up on his pledge to train to work on UK’s first round-the-clock text messaging service, Shout85258, but William revealed the news in a video released last night.
Volunteers chat via text message and help people sort through their feelings by asking questions, empathising and listening.
Meanwhile, Kate has been taking part in "check in and chat" calls with those self-isolating or vulnerable as part of the Royal Voluntary Service's NHS Volunteer Responders scheme.
Kate and William have not confirmed whether Princess Charlotte, who is in Reception, has returned to school in line with Boris Johnson's lockdown easing plans.
It is though the couple may choose to continue to homeschool Charlotte to keep the family together as George, who is in Year Two, and is not expected to go back until at least July under the Government's phased strategy.
In a phone call to Conscious Youth, an organisation working with young people from mainly black and other ethnic minority backgrounds in West Yorkshire, William joked about struggling with Year Two maths.
Sophie Simpson, 38, who co-founded Conscious Youth with Serena Johnson, 35, said: "The Duke and Duchess totally agreed that teaching Year Two maths was very difficult.

“I could agree with them because I teach that as well and I'm struggling."
Prince William has previously opened up about his woes with maths in a BBC documentary aired late last month.
During one segment on the Duke said: "Homeschooling is fun, now isn't it.
"You start worrying about how little you remember from your school days.
"You can't even do the maths questions at home."
The lighthearted comment suggests his wife, Kate, maybe leading the teaching of maths.
The Duchess took the subject at A Level, achieving an A grade.

J. Neurochem. (2012) 122, 1032–1046.
1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) intoxication of mice is a standard model of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, it does not reproduce functionally PD. Given the occurrence of PD during aging, symptoms might only be detected in MPTP-intoxicated mice after aging. To address this, mice injected with MPTP at 2.5 months were followed up to a maximum age of 21 months. There was no loss of dopamine cells with aging in control mice; moreover, the initial post-MPTP intoxication decrease in dopamine cell was no longer significant at 21 months. With aging, striatal dopamine level remained constant, but concentrations of the dopamine metabolites dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) were markedly reduced in both groups. There was also a late impairment of fine motor skills. After MPTP intoxication, hyperactivity was immediately detected and it became greater than in control mice from 14 months of age; fine motor skills were also more impaired; both these symptoms were correlated with striatal dopamine, DOPAC and HVA concentrations. In bothgroups, neither motor symptoms nor dopamine changes worsened with age. These findings do not support the notion that PD develops with age in mice after MPTP intoxication and that the motor deficits seen are because of an aging process.

This is our premium all-included tour, where we roam the picturesque West Iceland. The Bountiful West tour takes us to some less known natural jewels, charming waterfalls and a geothermal area. On the tour we have ample opportunities to enjoy Icelandic artisan food through visits to local farmers and food producers.
Encounter with pioneers in local food production
Exciting experience for all the senses
Natural beauties off the beaten track
After a short drive out of the city we take a short hike and fill our lungs with fresh air. We then continue to gradually make our way further inland, to the valleys of Borgarfjörður. The area is well known for it’s fertile farmlands, sheep and cows as well as all sorts of vegetables.
Along our trail we sample some of the local food production. We stop for lunch in the vicinity of Kleppjárnsreykir geothermal area, where vegetables and fruits grow very well in open fields as well as geothermal greenhouses. Geothermal areas are an interesting natural phenomenon offering a few surprises. From this natural hotspot we cross valleys and mountains to reach Erpsstaðir dairy farm where we get a good tour of the premises.
Helga and Þorgrímur at Erpsstaðir are true pioneers of artisanal food production in Iceland, where tradition meets innovation. The Erpsstadir creamery produces a unique skyr praline, made of traditional Icelandic skyr and white chocolate, a true taste bud magnet. We will certainly also try their famous ice cream called “Kjaftæði,” the most common Icelandic word for “nonsense,” literally translates as “mouth frenzy”.
Returning southwards we make a beauty stop at a picturesque waterfall before coming to Borgarnes, a lively little town by the sea. In a cozy wooden house in the heart of town we will enjoy a delicious evening meal of best local ingredients. With full stomachs and light hearts we finish the tour back in Reykjavik.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - An Alabama group will use more than $800,000 in federal funds to help provide permanent housing to low-income persons living with HIV and AIDS.
AIDS Alabama Inc. will get $879,963 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It's offered through HUD's Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program. The funding announced Tuesday will renew HUD's support of 29 local programs in 19 states. They include Georgia, where the city of Savannah will use $269,278 to help low-income persons living with HIV and AIDS.
Authorities will hand out $30.2 million in grants. During each of the next three years, the HUD funding will provide permanent supportive housing for more than 1,200 households.

The seeds of inspiration for The B Fund grew from the experiences of parents who cared for their critically ill child in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Boston Children’s Hospital. It became clear to them that there was a need to support families who were caring for critically ill children, and that there was no better way to fulfill this need than through engaging children of all ages in acts of giving. We aim to empower kids to reflect on the needs of their community and consider how their own efforts are enough to make the world a better place.
We believe that developing compassion in children is quite similar to developing muscle strength. The more you use your muscles, the stronger they get. The same concept applies for igniting our children’s interest in becoming life-long givers. Children who participate in age-appropriate activities that teach kindness, empathy, and respect develop the “muscles” they need to become civically engaged adolescents and adults.
-Jessica Myers, Founding Member
The B Fund took flight, fueled by the desire of a group of like-minded parents who wanted to include their children in hands-on philanthropy from an early age. Together they were determined to:
Create a program designed to empower parents and educators with the necessary tools to teach children the value of philanthropy through an experiential learning program.
Grow the culture of giving and philanthropy not only in one’s home but in the community that surrounds them
Provide support and resources to local families caring for a critically ill child. Some examples of these resources: parking, travel, hotel, education, meals, and other extraordinary needs.
Today, The B Fund is committed to teaching children of all ages the values of compassion, humanity and generosity by inspiring them to give of their time, talent and treasures to help others. Our carefully crafted resources empower families with the tools they need to inspire the change the world wants to see, and to simply: Believe In The Power of Giving.
Impact on Families
12,500 Parking Vouchers
4,000 Meal Vouchers
3,750 Welcome Bags for parents, which provide both comfort and useful tools.
1,134 Be Bags for Patients activity bags which provide a welcomed distraction for kids in the hospital.
2,534 nights of family housing/hotel stays
New “Kangaroo” Chairs have been placed in the NICU to allow parents the opportunity to participate in a form of developmental care vital to a pre-term babies health.

There’s this saying by Winston Churchill “If you’re going through hell, keep going” and it could not be any truer. Every morning we wake up thankful, to whatever god or high power we believe in, if any, to be alive another day. Some of us remain more thankful that others. I, myself, am thankful for every moment I am alive for the fact that my life can be taken away from me at any moment. Being such a young lady, age 22 when diagnosed and 23 now, discovering I have cancer was not only a shocker but an eye opener.
I remember the night my OBDGY called me with the news. It was 5pm and I was driving home from work. The tremble in her voice, and her request to bring someone with me, told me something bad was coming. That night of Feb 4th, 2014 felt like it was never going to end. I got little to no sleep and couldn’t contain my emotions, though I had to because I had not mentioned to very few, not even family, what was going on.
I locked myself in my room for the night and ignored all phone calls and texts. When my boyfriend arrived to my apartment to check in on me I finally broke, he knew what was coming, we both knew. 8am on Feb 5th, 2014 we anxiously waited in the Drs Office to receive the news we had known already; I was a victim of stage 2 breast cancer. I couldn’t contain myself and started to cry, my boyfriend kept composure and got the information I needed to move forward with the process.
Fast forwarding 5 months of very aggressing chemotherapy, hair loss and sickness I had received news that I was going into remission and could start to plan my surgery for a double mastectomy. I thought to myself it was finally coming to end, but how could it have happened so quickly. In less than 1 year I was diagnosed with cancer, went thought chemotherapy and had the surgery. Why did this happen, how did this happen. It finally hit me, the entire time through this chapter of my life I kept my head above the clouds and relied on music to keep my alive, music saved my life.
People who will never go through a scare like this will find it hard to grasp an understanding of a thing as simple as music can heal. Every day and every night, music was with me, wherever I was. I am thankful to all those involved in the healing process my biggest thanks goes to the sounds that kept my mind calm, the sounds I can relate to and to the healing powers of instruments and voices.
It is so very possible to cure yourself of whatever disease you may encounter with a holistic approach. A positive outlook and the sounds that soothed my soul kept, and are still keeping, me alive.

PETALING JAYA: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) will continue to invest in overseas properties in Japan, UK, France and Germany because it has to look for a steady dividend stream for EPF contributors, which number about 14 million.
“It is more out of necessity because we have become a big fish in a small crowded pond (with Permodalan Nasional Bhd, Lembaga Tabung Haji and Retirement Fund Inc or KWAP),” said the EPF head of global real estate private markets department Kamarulzaman Hassan.
He was presenting a paper at a seminar “Positioning Malaysian Real Estate: Post GST and 11th Malaysia Plan 2015” organised by the Malaysia Property Inc yesterday.
EPF has invested more than £1bil in the UK and more than 1 bil lion euros in France and Germany since 2008/09. It can invest up to 4%-5% of its funds in domestic and foreign real estate.
It has the mandate to invest up to 26% of non-ringgit denominated assets, which include equities, bonds and real estate. It has a total fund size approaching RM700bil.
Kamarulzaman said the fund has not exceeded these perimeters.
On the volatile global situation today, he said there were challenges but there were also “opportunistic deals here and there.”
EPF has invested in the logistics sector in Japan and Europe. This is a growing sector in Europe, Japan and in Asia.
It is looking at retail sector, office sector and logistics in the UK and Europe.
On EPF’s return on investments, Kamarulzaman said its average net yields were 7.5%-8% for logistics, 6.5%-7% for retail and 6%-6.5% for the office sector.
He said EPF has to go abroad because of diversification as it is in the entire spectrum of the local real estate market.
It likes the mature market in Europe and Japan because there is more liquidity in Europe and it is a far larger market.
There is also the issue of market timing as property is cyclical.
Prior to the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2007/08 global financial crisis, EPF only invested in Malaysia.
“We were badly hit in 1997 because we put all our eggs in one basket. As we progressed, we believed that diversification is important in order to reduce risk for our contributors,” he said.
The UK offers unbreakable leases of between 20 and 30 years, Europe 10 to 20 years compared to two years in Malaysia, although there are some exceptions.
“So we basically take a longer term investment strategy because we are providing dividends to contributors,” he said. It is not directly investing in US properties because the returns are low compared to other parts of the world.
The mature markets are also deemed to be more stable although each country is different.
A huge challenge in the local real estate market is that it takes more than a year to complete a transaction, whereas in the UK, it is as short as two months.

How to Enjoy an Epic City Tour of Dar es Salaam
One of the most popular cities in Africa, Dar es Salaam is a fantastic choice for visitors who are looking for a culturally immersive experience. From the capital of Tanzania, visitors will have the opportunity to savour some of eastern Africa’s most spectacular views, while taking in the monuments of African history. To make the most of your city tour of Dar es Salaam, here is some knowledge to help you plan the perfect day of sightseeing.
City Tours of Dar es Salaam
When you visit Dar es Salaam, there are a range of city tour companies committed to providing the fascinating view that is on offer. While many people associate city tours with an hours-long bus ride between a few points of interest, in Tanzania you set your own pace and book your own features.
Taking a city tour means you can conduct your own sightseeing of the places that mean something to you and have the opportunity to learn more about the history and culture – all while being guided in a comfortable and secure private studio car. This also means you don’t miss out on the natural beauty that abounds, as tours usually go further than just city limits to include national parks and nature reserves.
Take a look at GetYourGuide for a great selection of travelling packages that suit whatever itinerary you desire! You can enjoy a variety of sights and attractions, such as the State House, Makumbusho Cultural Center, Akamba Handicrafts shop, Village Museum and National Museum to name just a few.
Travelling Around Dar es Salaam
Riding in cars may be the most comfortable way to take in the sights of Dar es Salaam, but it’s not the only one. For more budget-friendly tourist transportation, buses are available too if you want to squeeze more sightseeing into the day; however, it should be noted that buses in this part of Tanzania are not air-conditioned or well-maintained so be sure to book a vehicle that suits what you’re looking for.
If walking around is more your thing, consider joining a walking tour at one of the many local parks or neighbourhoods; while walking around may take longer to see all the sites, you may get more out of actually experiencing the environment around you, like mingling with locals and taking in the smells of fragrant flowers and spices.
A popular destination for beachgoers is Dar es Salaam – and why not? With beautiful weather and some stunningly picturesque scenery, it’s no surprise that so many people flock here every year. From sailing expeditions to swimming with dolphins and indulging on fine seafood restaurants, Dar es Salaam has all the classic elements that make it ideal for a beach holiday.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful stretch of sand to relax on or an activity-filled day under the sun, there’s something here for everyone. For a secluded experience, head to Kunduchi Wet ‘n’ Wild Water Park or take part in some horseriding activities along Msasani beach. Hungry visitors should head to Coco Beach Restaurant for some delicious seafood and stunning views overlooking Msasani bay.
At night, locals flock from all around to party on Kizota beach which is Dar es Salaam’s official nightlife spot. Here you’ll find locals enjoying the nightlife with sea drums and dance floors playing music from every corner – it’s certainly worth checking out no matter what your travel style!
Dar es Salaam is a melting pot of cuisines from around the world, but Tanzanian food takes centre stage here. Savour mouth-watering dishes made with ingredients like fish and medicinal plants caught wild or cultivated locally, or sample spiced mutton sefubuti (rice). Look out for freshly caught seafood like tilapia served with nyama choma (grilled meats) and bokiti (bananas).
Dishes served in Dar es Salaam typically come with rice as well as an accompanying vegetable or side dish. Try mchicha (spinach) matured in coconuts or watchi (okra) simmered with onion paste. But if local dishes don’t tickle your fancy there’s plenty more culinary variety with foods from India like chapatti, Middle Eastern-style falafel and baklava, and flavourful Chinese delicacies.
Let Your Adventure Begin!
Living up to its name ’The Haven of Peace’, Dar es Salaam is a vibrant and hospitable city that ensures that visitors leaving have a positive experience – why not give it a try? Whether it’s an activity-filled experience or an educational journey to learn more about Tanzania’s culture, Dar es Salaam has something for everyone! Make sure you plan your day trip well so you get the best experience possible!

The blog "Debate Over Spiked Rocky Mountain News Media Column Heats Up" deals with a Jason Salzman column that the Rocky declined to publish -- so Salzman posted it on his own website, prompting Rocky editor/publisher/president John Temple (pictured) to put together a tough reply. The text from Salzman's column is accessible by clicking "More," and Temple response was as well -- until January 20, when it was removed at his request. Click here to read his take. -- Michael Roberts
My rejected Rocky column By Jason Salzman January 6th, 2009
I know I've written some bad columns for the Rocky Mountain News over the years. But I didn't think the column I submitted Thursday was so bad that it would be rejected.
In fact, I thought the column was one of my better efforts, pointing out a serious omission in local media coverage of a major story.
But Rocky Editor and Publisher John Temple thought otherwise, and he rejected the piece. It was the only time that's happened since November 2004 when I started writing the "On the Media" column every other week. My editors at the Rocky have been fair during my years of freelance service. I respect them, and Temple did not fire me.
After much thought, I decided I should publish the rejected column on my own blog. That's what any self-respecting independent media critic would do.
Also, I want to air the ideas I wrote about in my column. These ideas, from credible sources, should not be ignored at a time when any strategy to prolong the life of the Rocky, no matter how far-fetched, should be explored.
Below is the column I submitted. Its headline might have been: "Dailies Ignore Long-Shot Government Role in Saving Rocky."
When a 149-year-old institution looks like might die, you want to know what can be done about it. You count on journalists to provide this information.
But in the case of the Rocky Mountain News, which is up for sale and facing possible closure, we've seen no reporting about what the government could do to help the daily.
It turns out that even though the Rocky is owned by a private company, the federal government can conceivably play a role in saving the newspaper.
To begin with, the federal government can force the Rocky's parent company, E.W. Scripps, to keep the Rocky on the sales block for longer than the one month currently promised.
One month is not enough time to find a buyer, according to, among others, a financial expert cited in the Rocky itself Dec. 25. He was puzzled by the short time frame of the sale.
What gives the feds the right to meddle in the Rocky's business transactions?
It's called the Joint Operating Agreement, the 2001 contract between the Denver Post and the Rocky that allows them to share business operations (printing, delivery, sales), while running independent news and editorial units.
Normally, such an arrangement would be considered an illegal monopoly, a violation of federal anti-trust law. But thanks to the Newspaper Preservation Act of 1970, the Justice Department allowed the Post and Rocky to combine their business departments, to preserve two independent newspaper voices. Similar newspaper JOA monopolies are allowed in other cities.
But the joint-operating arrangement comes with a price: oversight from the Justice Department's anti-trust division. It can intervene to make sure that a JOA newspaper, like the Rocky, is not closed prematurely or unnecessarily.
In the past, the Justice Department has intervened with joint-operating newspapers to ensure that if one of the newspaper companies in a JOA wants to close its newspaper, it must make a real effort to find a buyer, before it simply shutters the newspaper. Again, the goal, as enshrined in the Newspaper Preservation Act, is to preserve two newspapers.
In 1983, for example, the owner of one of the two newspapers operating under a JOA in St. Louis wanted to close its paper. The Justice Department intervened and insisted that even though the newspaper was losing money, the company make a serious attempt to find a buyer, according to a 1999 article in the American Journalism Review. Surprisingly, a buyer emerged, and the newspaper was sold and operated for two more years.
In the past, the Justice Department's "basic standard" on this issue has been that the "newspaper be put on the market and the price be reasonable," according to Stephen Barnett, who's studied JOAs extensively. He's law professor emeritus at the University of California at Berkeley with a degree from Harvard Law.
The Department has even taken steps to make sure that buyers aren't discouraged, he said.
This view about the apparent obligation of Scripps to seek a buyer has not been reported, and it should be. It could answer the nagging question of why Scripps is putting the Rocky on the market for a time period that's so short as to make a sale nearly impossible.
Scripps could be trying to demonstrate that a sale was attempted, to deflect possible intervention by the Justice Department.
But putting the Rocky on the market for one month over the holidays looks like it's not a good-faith effort to find a buyer for the newspaper. If Scripps makes the decision in mid-January to close the Rocky, the Justice Department could intervene and insist the Rocky remain for sale longer.
"I think the Justice Department might, especially in a new Administration, require [the Rocky] to remain operating for a few months or something to see if a new buyer could be found," said Barnett.
If a buyer were found, the widely reported JOA provision giving Post owner Dean Singleton both the first right of refusal and the right to reject the buyer may be illegal, says Barnett. In a view that's not been reported locally, he believes a right of refusal in the JOA can't trump a "capable buyer."
He adds that the Justice Department has been lax in this area of enforcement, but has "a lot of discretion in these cases, and a lot would depend on who's in charge of the anti-trust division" and "whether there's time for a new team to take charge." Stephen Lacy, a professor in the Michigan State University Department of Communication and School of Journalism, agreed with Barnett.
It's a long shot that the Justice Department would force Scripps to keep the "for sale" sign hanging on the Rocky longer, and Scripps has not stated that it will definitely close the paper after one month anyway. Still, readers deserve to know what can be done if a premature decision to close the paper is made.

Introducing BetterConnected Locks by TownSteel
BetterConnected locks aren’t just better — they’re the best.
TownSteel has the ONLY Grade 1* Interconnected Lock in the market. It’s best to go with the best.
TownSteel offers two BetterConnected Locks, interconnected tubular locks and interconnected mortise locks.
It’s best to go with the best.
Whether you are a specification writer or a major developer looking for interconnected locks, you know that quality is key. Experience shows that settling for less brings trouble in the long run.
BetterConnected Tubular Series
TownSteel’s BetterConnected Tubular Series comes with a unique patented design that provides optimal convenience to users.
Check out our patented E-Genius Tubular Locks. These are a top choice for apartment buildings, senior living communities, and student housing just to name a few. When using the E-Genius, you are able to leave the outside lever unlocked whenever the deadbolt is retracted.
BetterConnected Mortise Series
TownSteels’s BetterConnected Mortise Series offers our patented design that allows you the convenience of locking or unlocking with one single motion of the lever.
Take a look at our M-Genius Mortise Locks. This mechanical lock is ideal for residential homes, offices, and commercial spaces. This is the only model in the market that can extend the deadbolt without using a key.
What makes BetterConnected better?
Dennis Ma, CEO TownSteel, explains the innovation behind BetterConnected locks.
When asking Dennis Ma, TownSteel’s master inventor, “What makes BetterConnected locks better?”, he explains how important it is to first understand the background of interconnected locks. Dennis reflects back to 2016 when he first designed the e-Genius which revolutionized the interconnected lock and has three patents related to it.
“At the time, we thought that this product was going to be the future because of the USA’s new building code requiring a single motion egress. When the deadbolt is thrown and you want egress from the inside, you simply push down the inside lever and it will retract the latch bolt and the deadbolt.”
Today all the interconnected locks on the market are doing what the code asks for but they all operate with the hospitality function only. A good example of the hospitality function is in a hotel where the door is always locked from the outside unless you have a key or a credential to enter.
“This brings us to the BetterConnected series of TownSteel’s locks,” Dennis explains, “We have developed locks for the multi-family market that allow you to use a switch inside of the lock as a triggering point. So whenever the deadbolt is retracted, then the latch bolt stays unlocked.”
This convenient feature accommodates the practical needs of residents living in multi-family housing. For short trips to take out the trash or get the mail, you don’t need a credential or a key to re-enter. The customers using the e-Genius BetterConnected lock can leave their room and when they return, they don’t need a key, phone, or password to re-enter.
TownSteel’s BetterConnected locks are a safe, convenient, and functional answer to the hypergrowth of today’s multi-family housing.

Another North Atlantic right whale has been found dead — bringing the total up to nine whales found dead in Canadian waters so far this year.
According to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the whale was sighted on Sunday off eastern Cape Breton. The department said it will try to retrieve it and conduct a necropsy on Monday.
“Efforts to rescue the entangled whales will continue once weather permits,” Fisheries and Oceans said in a tweet.
Ship strikes and entanglement in fishing gear have been identified or suspected in the deaths of other North Atlantic right whales in recent years.

Optical fibers have been employed in a large number of applications including communications and sensors. One property of optical fibers that has been used in the various applications is that of total internal reflection whereby light is guided along optical fibers. Total internal reflection occurs when light in a transparent medium strikes the boundary of a material with a lower refractive index at a shallow enough angle and is totally reflected back into the material with the higher refractive index. Otherwise, the light passes through the boundary. Cladding has been employed to control the refractive index of the material contacting the surface of the fiber as well as to provide a reflecting surface. As the diameter of a fiber is quite small, the light entering the fiber at a proper angle for passage through the fiber is in a very narrow beam and might be considered as a quasi-coherent. As such, the light will pass through a straight section of unclad fiber with no significant losses due to the lack of cladding. Bends and loops are the source of the major losses.
Thus, as long as a fiber is surrounded by a medium, such as air, with a low refractive index, it reflects light. When a higher index liquid contacts it, it destroys the condition necessary for total internal reflection and light leaks out. This condition of light leakage is most significant at a bend or loop. One conventional application is liquid level sensing where the liquid level raises up to or drops below the fiber and, thereby, changes the light transmission through the fiber. Another application is refractive index determination where a reference probe is used in addition to the monitoring probe and the outputs are compared to determine the refractive index determination. The refractive indices of some materials such as liquid refrigerants are temperature dependent and, additionally, the liquid refrigerants are volatile.
A fiberoptic sensor is made in the form of a probe which is generally cylindrical and has a diameter of one-half inch, or less. The probe contains two U-shaped or hairpinned fibers with one fiber located entirely within a sealed chamber containing a reference fluid and the other fiber extending through the sealed chamber into a shielded area where it can be exposed to the environment to be tested. The light source is an LED and the detectors are photomultipliers, all of which are located in the probe so that all of the components are located in the environment to be tested and are, therefore, at the same temperature. Because the reference of fluid can be contaminated by exposure and, in the case of liquid refrigerant is volatile, the reference liquid must be sealed.
In making the probe a fiberglass tube having an outside diameter of about one-half inch is used as the sheath. The electronic components and optical fibers are located within the sheath such that the electronic components are sealed from the environment, the reference fiber is sealed within a chamber and the monitoring fiber extends through the sealed chamber to a portion of the tube which permits exposure to the environment but affords a shield from mechanical hazards such as are likely to damage the sensor. A small hole is then made through the sheath into the sealed chamber, or was made previously, and chilled reference fluid is injected into the chamber with a hypodermic syringe and, while the reference fluid is still cold, the hole is sealed with epoxy. The reference fluid is chilled so that the fluid vapor pressure is below one atmosphere. The probe is then calibrated.
It is an object of this invention to provide a probe suitable for sensing liquid level, concentration and phase change.
It is another object of this invention to provide a probe and the method of making it such that all of the components are maintained at the same temperature.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a probe with temperature compensation and hardware variation compensation.
It is another object of this invention to provide a probe which is not position sensitive for monitoring the concentration of a liquid.
It is an additional object of this invention to provide a probe suitable for determining concentration or the presence of a substance and for providing an output for controlling the concentration or presence of the substance.
It is another object of this invention to provide a sensor suitable for determining concentration to within ±0.25%. These objects, and others as will become apparent hereinafter, are accomplished by the present invention.
Basically, an optical-electronic light guide sensing system is located within a tubular sheath. All of the components are protected from the environment with the exception of the curved portion of the monitoring fiber. Reference fluid is sealed within the probe such that the reference fiber is exposed to the reference fluid. A single LED and two photomultipliers are located within the probe such that all of the components are at the same temperature. The outputs of the photomultipliers are compared to determine concentration and the resultant output can be used as a measure or used as a control signal to adjust the concentration.
For a fuller understanding of the present invention, reference should now be made to the following detailed description thereof taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a pictorial view of the probe;
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section of the probe showing the charging of the sealed chamber;
FIG. 3 is an exploded view of a portion of the probe; and
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a second embodiment of the probe;
FIG. 5 is a chart showing the signal output in volts for various concentrations of lithium bromide;
FIG. 6 is a graph of LiBr concentration vs. voltage output; and
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the invention when used to monitor and control LiBr concentration.
In FIGS. 1 and 2, the numeral 10 generally designates the probe. Probe 10 includes a tubular fiberglass sheath 12 having a plurality of holes 13 formed therein and an epoxy patch 14 thereon. Located within sheath 12 are U- or hairpin shaped optical fibers 16 and 17 with fiber 16 being shorter and serving as a reference. The fibers are preferably quartz with a 2 mm. diameter with a 3-4 mm. bend radius. An LED 20 is located within sheath 12 and is bonded to fibers 16 and 17 such that it can supply light to the ends of legs 16a and 17a respectively of fibers 16 and 17. LED is secured to the fibers by an epoxy bond with the epoxy having a refractive index equal to or greater than that of the fibers 16 and 17 to avoid light loss. At the ends of legs 16b and 17b are located photomultipliers 22 and 23, respectively, which are bonded thereto with epoxy bonds 19 having the same optical properties as bonds 18 and which detect the light transmitted through fibers 16 and 17, respectively. Holding the components in place within the sheath 12 and sealing the components from contacting the test medium are epoxy seal 26 and fiberglass disks 27 and 28 which are epoxy sealed in place. The epoxy used for seal 26 and to seal disks 27 and 28 is Epo-Tek 320, or its equivalent, which is resistant to most halocarbon refrigerants. Thus, epoxy seal 26 and disk 27 together with sheath 12 seal LED 20 and photomultipliers 22 and 23 from the environment. Similarly, epoxy seal 27 and 28 together with sheath 12 define a sealed chamber 32 containing reference fluid 34. Reference fluid may be a mixture such as a 54% LiBr solution, a refrigerant such as R11, an ethylene glycol brine solution or any other suitable reference fluid.
Referring now specifically to FIG. 2, it will be seen that a hole 12a is either formed in sheath 12 prior to assembly of the probe 10 or after its assembly. Preferably, as best shown in FIG. 3, a subassembly 11 is put together and placed in sheath 12. Specifically, legs 16a and b of fiber 16 are inserted through holes 27b and a of disk 27. Legs 17a and b of fiber 17 are inserted through holes 28a and b of disk 28 which is slid down the legs for the proper distance. Legs 17a and b are then inserted through holes 27c and d, respectively of disk 27. The holes 28a and b and 27a-d are then sealed with epoxy to prevent leakage therethrough. LED 20 is secured in place on disk 27 with epoxy bond 18 so as to supply light to the ends of legs 16a and 17a. Photomultipliers 22 and 23 are secured in place on seal 27 with epoxy bonds 19 so as to receive the light passing from legs 16b and 17b, respectively. Subassembly 11 is then positioned in sheath 12. Seals 27 and 28 are sealed to the sheath 12 by epoxy. The ends of sheathed wires 20a and b, 22a and b and 23a and b and LED, and photomultipliers 22 and 23 to which they are attached are sealed from the environment and in sheath 12 by epoxy seal 26.
The fibers 16 and 17 and the reference fluid 34 are selected such that the refractive index of the fluid is less than that of the fiber but the closer the indices are, the better, since it produced a more linear response. Assuming that a volatile fluid such as the refrigerant R11 is to be placed in chamber 34, the R11 is chilled below room temperature and hypodermic syringe 40 is filled with the chilled R11. The needle 41 of hypodermic syringe 40 is inserted through hole 12a and the R11 is injected into chamber 32 until it is filled with the R11. Hole 12a is then sealed with epoxy patch 14. Chamber 32 is then isolated from the surrounding medium as are LED 20 and photomultipliers 22 and 23. Within normal manufacturing tolerances, variation from probe to probe should be expected, requiring that calibration curves be generated for each probe. For non-aqueous solutions of volatile organic materials, calibration is obtained by insertion of the probe into an infrared flow cell connected to a computer-operated data station in which a Lambert-Beer matrix inversion has been programmed.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a modified probe 100 is illustrated which differs from probe 10 in its method of assembly. The fiberglass sheath 112 is formed in three sections 112b, c and d, respectively. LED 120 is epoxied to legs 116a and 117a of fibers 116 and 117 by epoxy bond 118 and photomultipliers 122 and 123 are epoxied to legs 116b and 117b by epoxy bonds 119. Epoxy bonds 118 and 119 have a refraction index equal to or greater than that of fibers 116 and 117 to avoid light loss. The LED 120, photomultipliers 122 and 123 and fibers 116 and 117 are epoxied in place in section 112b by epoxy seal 126. Fibers 116 and 117 are additionally sealed to sheath section 112b by epoxy seal 127 which also serves to bond sheath section 112c to sheath section 112b. Fiber 117 is sealed to sheath 112c by epoxy seal 128 which defines a portion of chamber 132 as well as sealing sheath section 112d to section 112c. Chamber 132 will be filled with reference fluid 134 via hole 112a which will be subsequently sealed by epoxy patch 114.
When the probe 10 or 100 has been calibrated, it can then be placed in a circuit such as that illustrated in FIG. 7 which illustrates an absorption machine 60. The fluid 34, which is the fluid in chamber 32, may, for example, be 54% lithium bromide solution, as illustrated, a refrigerant such as R11, a mixture such as an ethylene glycol brine solution or any other suitable reference fluid. The fluid to be tested, 36, can be the LiBr solution for the absorber or evaporator of an absorption machine, as illustrated, an ethylene glycol brine solution of a thermal storage system or some other suitable fluid. A single probe can be used for determining concentration and phase change assuming that the probe location is representative of the whole system. The thin tubular configuration of the probes 10 and 100 make them particularly suitable for insertion in refrigeration systems and makes them position insensitive for concentration monitoring. For liquid level determination, however, multiple probes are ordinarily used since an individual probe provides no information as to how far below or above the probe the liquid level is located. A probe at the extremes of the acceptable liquid level range would ordinarily be the minimum number of probes used for liquid level monitoring. Within the probe 10 is located all of the probe structure which is in, and therefore at this same temperature as, the fluid to be tested 36.
FIG. 6 is a graph of the measured LiBr concentration vs. voltage output shown in the chart of FIG. 5. Assuming that liquid 36 represents the LiBr solution in an absorber of an absorption machine 60 and solenoid valve 50 controls the water line 52 leading to the absorber for controlling the concentration of the LiBr, the present invention provides a more accurate control. Conventionally, two sets of level float controls indirectly estimate the LiBr concentration by high and low refrigerant sensing in the evaporator. At high refrigerant levels which corresponds to high solution concentration, a float with a magnet moves over a reed switch closing its contacts and energizing a solenoid valve that allows refrigerant to be pumped back to the LiBr solution and diluting it. Because of the indirect detection, there is a considerable safety factor built in relative to LiBr crystallization margin. Since for each pound of non-useful water added to the LiBr by this system requires approximately 1,000 BTU's of energy expanded in the generator to remove it, a smaller margin is desirable.
The output of LED 20 enters the ends of legs 16a and 17a of fibers 16 and 17, respectively. Depending upon the indices of refraction of liquids 34 and 36 relative to the index of refraction of fibers 16 and 17, respectively, there will be some loss of light in passing through fibers 16 and 17. The light passing through fibers 16 and 17 will strike photomultipliers or detectors 22 and 23, respectively. The pulsing light striking detectors 22 and 23 results in electrical outputs VREF and VMEAS, respectively, which are supplied to processor 54. Processor 54 determines the differences in voltages VMEAS and VREF and provides a control signal to control solenoid valve 50. Because, as shown in FIG. 6, the concentration vs. voltage output for LiBr is essentially linear, it is possible to more accurately control the LiBr concentration to increase the efficiency of the system.
Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, other changes will occur to those skilled in the art. For example, thermal storage fluids or cooling tower water can be monitored and/or controlled. It is, therefore, intended that the present invention is to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.

Volleyball Heads to Baton Rouge for Tiger Classic
Field also features Virginia and UConn
HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- The Southern Miss volleyball team will leave town for the first time this season when it takes on Virginia (12 p.m.) and UConn (5:30 p.m.) on Friday and LSU (1 p.m.) on Saturday at the 2016 Tiger Classic.
"We are excited to get back and playing again this weekend," head coach Amanda Berkley said. "I'm excited to play some really tough competition from the SEC, ACC and American that will prepare us for the conference season. We get to see where our team stands. I think we learned from last weekend that we can't take points off and we have to always be ready."
The Golden Eagles (3-1) rank second in Conference USA for service aces with 2.2 per set, including 11 against Tulane and Grambling in the Southern Miss Invitational. Their last time out was a 3-0 win over Southern, which included new marks for attack efficiency.
Stephany Purdue (.583 hitting percentage on 12 attempts) and Kylie Grandy's (12 att., .611 pct.) marked the fifth time in seven matches that a Golden Eagle accomplished the feat (at least 10 att., .500 or better). Catherine Repsher also did so against Tulane and McNeese State and earned league Freshman of the Week honors for those efforts.
Repsher ranks first in C-USA hitting percentage (.528) and second in blocks (1.62 per set). Sarah Bell (11.77 per set) is second in assists.
Grandy against the Jaguars also recorded a service ace for the seventh consecutive match and led the team with 12 kills.
Live stats will be available via the tournament web site and updates will also be posted on Twitter (@SouthernMissVB).
About the Opponents
Southern Miss has not played LSU since 2000 and is looking for its first win in the all-time series (sixth match). The Golden Eagles have never faced Virginia or UConn.
Virginia (2-1) swept Buffalo and George Washington during its season-opening Fairfield Inn & Suites Cavalier Classic, but fell 3-1 to Northwestern in the final match. The squad's attack is led by Haley Kole, a senior who is also a member of the school's 1,000-kill club. Freshman Kylie Banker has been the team's top blocker, totaling 12 in nine sets.
UConn has just two matches under its belt, defeating Syracuse and Colgate 3-1. Jade Strawberry, daughter of nine-time MLB All-Star Darryl Strawberry, leads the Huskies with 3.88 kills per set. They have a diverse setter attack in Emma Turner (62) and Rebecca Rivera (47) pacing the team.
LSU (2-1) was just in North Carolina for the Duke Invitational, where it knocked off Eastern Kentucky and UNC Greensboro before falling 3-0 to the host. Anna Zwiebel's 108 assists leads the club, and Gina Tillis boasts the same honor in kills (37). Head coach Fran Flory has taken the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament eight times in her 19 years.

Most of us walk through life never having to think about the fact that we can see clearly. But for many Australians, loss of vision is a real problem – and it can be especially scary when it comes out of the blue.
Advanced macular disease is the leading cause of legal blindness and vision loss in Australia, affecting around one in seven Australians over the age of 50. While there are some treatments available for certain types of macular disease, there are no treatments for dry macular disease, and currently no cure. But researchers at the University of Sydney’s Save Sight Institute are working to change this.
A generous donation of $100,000 to the Save Sight Institute will establish a scholarship for a PhD student to work with the Macular Research Group, directed by Professor Mark Gillies, who are on the frontline of research into new treatments for macular disease. The gift comes as the University celebrates its 24 hour giving day, Pave the Way.
“Advanced macular disease robs people of their central vision”, Professor Gillies says. “They may lose much of their independence, be unable to read the numbers on buses or train platforms, and they may not recognise their friends in the street”.
Despite the urgency of research into these issues, all of the research undertaken by the institute is reliant on grants and the generosity of donors and benefactors who believe in the cause.
This means that gifts like this one will have more than just a personal impact on the academic career of a deserving student – it will have a real and lasting impact on the research being conducted, and the lives that the research affects.
“The donation will support a PhD student working in our lab for three to four years, which would not otherwise have been possible”, says Professor Gillies. The PhD student will engage directly with the testing of new treatments, one of which involves testing compounds like curcumin, an active ingredient in turmeric, to see if they can boost the macula’s defences against oxidative stress.
Everyone working at the Save Sight Institute is passionate about this cause. When you consider that this disease affects 1.5 million Australians, it becomes clear that research into this area is incredibly important, and people like this donor make all the difference.
