Front and Back-End Developer/Designer to build and maintain a bespoke community based e-learning website within a niche market.
London Based Developers Only!
A little about the situation
Hi, I'm ultimately looking for someone willing to invest their sweat equity and become an equal partner in this business start-up. However, I'd also consider paying a retainer, and am open to any suggestions regarding fees and payments you may have, but I'd be reluctant to give the 50% ownership I'm otherwise willing to offer.
I appreciate that these kind of requests are a dime a dozen, so I have done my best to provide you with some facts and figures and as much verifiable information as possible.
I also appreciate the challenges that working for sweat present, and I am under no illusions as to how much work there is to complete this project, so I am pretty flexible with scheduling.
A little about the project
This is a definitive interactive learning program, set within a private community where members have access to a number of unique features and functions through a private and secure user interface arranged by icons, including a course access / progress bar.
The e-course, is a step by step, 'how to' program consisting of 9 key modules & comprising of a number of theoretical and practical assignments, which members complete successively before having free access to all sections. Thus allowing them to tailor a program specific to their needs.
The entire program has been designed to get people involved as much as possible outside, as well as within the community in both a challenging and mutually supportive ways.
I believe it successfully does this, not just through a variety of thought provoking assignments engaging tools which directly address the problem at hand, but also through a series of work related incentive schemes offering rewards ranging from attractive cash prizes to free memberships.
A little about the business model
As with most e-courses, once they have been created, minimal up-keep is required outside of general site maintenance and business admin. Any support roles such as moderators, or marketing specialists for example, will come from within the community, or outsourced.
The competition
This sector lacks serious competition. All main competitors barely fill the first Search Engine Results Page (SERP) for the majority of keyword phrases. The remaining links are predominantly long standing newspaper articles, dead blogs and links to unrelated forums which have a thread relating to a keyword.
More importantly, what help there is for people fails to address the actual everyday needs of those seeking assistance, whether it's failing to motivate people in truly engaging ways, or simply provide an all inclusive, structured, easy to follow solution to their problem.
In short, their products lack invention, provide no 'added-value', or effectiveness. In fact, most cases simply offer the visitor an abstract, one dimensional pdf download for people to work on in solitude.
The pricing policy will be set at a very affordable annual membership set in the region of £69- £89. However, members will also be able to increase their tenure by up to a further 6 months at no extra cost if certain features are activated, or work related targets are met.
This signing on fee substantially undercuts all main commercial competitors who charge as much as £400 for a years subscription.
Build it and will they come? - Competitor traffic analysis
Monthly Unique Visitor numbers for the top 7 competitors since 2010 has averaged between a low of 6500, to a high of 12,500. However, I have witnessed unique lows of 500 and a unique high of 80,000.
It's also important to stress that these figures are only based on English speaking web traffic generated in the United States. As a rule of thumb, one should double these figures to include all English speaking traffic.
In addition to this, there is also huge potential when targeting specific geographic locations, which although is unquantifiable at this stage, some professionals in the world of Gobal SEO believe localised strategies could increase traffic volume by up to 18% in each location.
If they come will they buy? - Conversion rates
Although many factors determine a sites ability to successfully convert traffic into sales. The Marketing Sherpa 2012 Website Optimization Benchmark Report, found that websites in this sector on average convert 8% of traffic into sales.
However, because of the nature of this sectors poor supply to high demand ratio, and that this is a unique specialised service which helps to solve a serious problem, along with presenting users with unparalleled offers and rewards, I believes the site has the potential to convert 12-15% and possibly more.
Marketing / SEO
Because of the uncompetitive nature of SERPs in this sector, it's not unrealistic to argue that establishing page one ranking wouldn't take as long as it would in sectors with more contested keyword phrases.
I believe it could take as little as 3 4 months to organically rank above the fold on page 1 with a focussed and aggressive marketing campaign, which is in place.
In addition to this, there will be a modest Adwords campaign which will also generate an immediate return on investment (ROI),
Risk/Opportunity and ROI
Nothing in business is without risk. However, even when calculating the lowest ratio of figures above, it's clear there is great potential in this venture.
Furthermore, the problems which this program addresses are very real, and as one leading academic in the field believes, effects up to 22 million people in North America alone. Globally this could be tenfold. This is a real problem and there is clearly a need for this service.
You will be a company Director and Co-founder receiving a wage, shares, dividends and benefits.
About your requirements
You'll be responsible for everything to do with IT from; technological performance and data security; to site development and expansion and everything that lies between that.
You will also need to be able to create and be proficient in:
- Cross-browser, cross platform pages
- Use Open source, HTML, (HTML 5), PHP, MYSQL, CMS
- Have an understanding of the internet, SEO & possibly Schema Markup (and if not then up for learning about it).
- Microsoft / Open Office word/excel
- phpBB Forums
- Wordpress
- Create an Automated league table
- Timed released locks
- And more that I am not willing to share just now
You should also:
- Have a good understanding of colors and sizing things up
- Have a willingness and ability to work closely throughout the design and build process
- Be a reliable and respectable time keeper, open-minded and willing to put in the hours when it really matters
- Have some understanding of what it takes to run your own business (helpful)
- Last but definitely not least, you should be progressively minded and an innovator of sorts. Someone who is always looking to improve upon and expand systems. If you're looking to sit back and just wait for instructions, then this is definitely not the role for you.
A little about design, features, functions and usability
I am into minimalism and pretty clear about the design. I also have excellent working examples and mock-ups for you to work from.
All aspects of the site are extremely simple and easy to use bar one challenge feature.
A little about me
I'm someone who's worked directly on all aspects of this project for the past 4 years. I've also had first hand experience in this field for nearly thirty years. During this time I've learned much about this growing, yet still little understood area, who it effects, the way it effects people and most importantly how to navigate it.
I consider myself reasonably internet savvy. I enjoy the SEO side of being a web-master and am very confident about my knowledge of competitors within this field.
I've always worked for myself, and in my previous lives, before and after completing an anthropology degree, I've run a Painting and Decorating firm, an overseas fashion shop, and until a few years ago, project managed home refurbishments before focussing on this project full-time. A also volunteer as a decorating instructor from time to time.
Need a room decorated? Maybe we can work something out there too? ;-)
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Just don't ask me what this is about. I've had people try and scam me in the past, and it's boring. I've given a lot information, so if you're interested you'll need to bring something to the table before signing a non-disclosure agreement.
At some point you'll also have to provide me with 3 solid forms of I.D. And proof of address and if you can't do any of this, then please do not waist either of our time.
Interested? Then:
Get in touch and send me some links to your work
Ask me any questions you like.
Think about your own understanding/vision of what I've just spoken about so that we can explore things together when we meet over a coffee.

Coffee and Walnut Cake
Serves 8-10
180g butter, at room temperature
180g caster sugar
3 eggs
180g self-raising flour
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water (I used espresso)
60g walnut pieces
For the frosting
250g mascarpone cheese
85g icing sugar, sifted
1½ teaspoons instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1½ teaspoons hot water (I used espresso)
Walnut halves, to decorate
2 x 20cm diameter sandwich tins, greased and base-lined
Preheat the oven to 180oC/160oC fan/350oF/Gas 4.
Put the butter and sugar in a large bowl and cream together until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Sift the flour into the butter mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the walnuts and coffee. Divide the cake mixture between the two prepared tins and level out the surface of each.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and the sponge springs back when gently pressed or a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes before removing cakes from the tin. Once cooled carefully peel off the paper.
To make the frosting, beat together the mascarpone, icing sugar and coffee until smooth and creamy. Spread slightly less than half of the frosting over one of the cooled cakes, then place the second cake on top. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and decorate with walnut halves to finish.

"Unspoken" an eloquent, wordless story about the Underground Railroad
The latest picture book from artist Henry Cole is extraordinary in its silence, which conveys both the urgency of the secrecy surrounding the Underground Railroad that helped escaped slaves find freedom, and the burden of tension shared by runaways and their surreptitious hosts.
It begins with a quilt draped over a fence, then an image of a farm girl watching Confederate soldiers ride down the road. She goes on with her chores. Something in the stacked corn startles her. Do the adults know about the people hiding in the barn?

Container designer Mark Bartos likes to create maximum impact with a minimum number of plants. "Because this container was so narrow, everythying in it had to be [visually] strong," he says.
The galvanaized metal container, 16 inches wide by 28 inches tall, is from Ikea (about $18). Bartos raised it on a stack of concrete pavers.
The plants: Adenanthos sericea, Sedum morganianum, rattail cactus (Aporocactus flagelliformis).

Your tax invoice can be downloaded on flysaa.com under Manage & Fly 72 hours after the e-ticket has been issued.
If a Tax Invoice has been successfully generated from the South African Airways Tax Invoice System, the onus rests on the recipient to ensure that his/her mailbox has enough space to receive an e-mail - with a PDF attachment; and that his//her service provider or exchange server allows for delivery of such e-mails. South African Airways, can not take responsibility for undelivered e-mails due to any other reasons beyond our control including the above.
Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
JOHANNESBURG. 21 August 2014. South African Airways (SAA) today celebrated women's month with a flight between Johannesburg and Cape Town, which was operated by an All-Female crew.
The rest of the flight preparations were also conducted by females. On board, the commemorative flight also comprised of SAA female executives, led by Ms Zukisa Ramasia, General Manager Operations. Ms Ramasia is responsible for SAA's overall global operations portfolio, which comprises SAA's flight and cabin operations, airport operations, ground handling, lounges, on-board logistics and inventory, aviation safety and security as well as SAA's central nerve system, global operations control centre.
SA313 was captained by the airline's first black female captain, Captain Kavistha Maharaj, with First Officer, Olga Bottger as the co-pilot.
Looking after customers were cabin crew Purser: Nomvuzo Mjanyelwa, Senior Cabin Crew Member: Rene Essack, Cabin Crew Member: Sonali Bissessor, Cabin Crew Member Thilimbeli Mikosi and Cabin Crew Member: Michelle De Freitas.
Playing a key role in putting the flight together was Mathilda du Plessis, the Flight Dispatcher. Nwabisa Mbulaheni, was the Operations Controller. The load controller was Nicole Mortimer and the Ramp Controller Lucia Mcpherson.
"We are extremely proud of the achievements of the women at SAA, where we are represented throughout the company, in leadership positions as well as in key operational areas which enables SAA to run smooth and on-time operations," says Ramasia.
The All-Female operated flight is symbolic and yet a strong transformation indicator reflecting the airline's efforts to transcend the stereotypes and barriers of the past. These were manifest in the form of race and gender discrimination. Today SAA has women working as technicians, flight deck crew, cabin crew, and in key operational and support areas throughout the SAA Group.
At present SAA women make up 38.96% of all staff, (24.85% general staff; 0.83% cockpit crew and 13.29% cabin crew).
Captain Kavistha Maharaj
Captain Kavistha Maharaj (39), flies the Boeing 737-800. She joined SAA in June 1995 as a cadet pilot, and received captaincy in May 2013. Captain Maharaj who is in her own words "tenacious, hard-working, and loyal", became a pilot since childhood, she has always had a desire for adventure and travel. "Being an airline pilot fulfills that dream".
She also says: "It is an absolute privilege to be a captain flying for the national carrier. I am very proud and appreciative of this opportunity. The response from passengers has been fabulous, especially when there's an all-female flight deck crew."
Her advice to other females wanting to become pilots is: "Being an airline pilot isn't just a career – it is a very rewarding lifestyle, though it demands dedication and discipline. It takes perseverance, determination and lots of hard work to turn your dreams into reality. There will be obstacles along the way, but work hard, be strong and don't lose sight of your goal. Aviation is a dynamic environment and you need to keep up with all the changes. The day you stop learning is the day you should stop flying."
First Officer Olga Bottger
Olga, who has been flying for 18 years, is a First Officer on the Boeing 737-800 fleet, and joined SAA in February 2013. She started flying at the age of 16, and completed her Private Pilot's in 1997. In 1999 she completed her Commercial Pilot's Licence and continued to get her Flying Instructor's rating.
Olga did some flying instruction and then managed to break into the tough world of commercial flying. She flew cargo, charters and contracts in Tanzania, Pakistan and the Congo. She finally got into the domestic airline world in 2003 and flew for Comair for 9 years. The long awaited call from SAA came in 2012. She says: "After many attempts and countless CV's, SAA eventually welcomed me on board, yet another highlight in my career and a whole new adventure. So what is it that I love so much about this thing called flying? The view in my office changes every day!"
Cabin crew:
Purser: Nomvuzo Mjanyelwa joined SAA in July 2000, and says being appointed as a purser which is a senior cabin crew member was the highlight of her career.
Senior Cabin Crew Member: Rene Essack
joined SAA in September 1999. She has won the accolade as Crew Member of the month in both 2013 and this year. Customers often compliment her on her friendliness, kindness and support. She is a positive, energetic person, engaged in her work and connects with the passengers, with the understanding "that the customer is the most important person on board". Rene is motivated and an inspiration to her colleagues.
Cabin Crew Member: Sonali Bissessor joined SAA in August 2003, and has made her mark as an outstanding cabin crew member, who has an exemplary record.
Cabin Crew Member: Thilimbeli Mikosi
joined SAA on Women's Day in 2004. She recently reached her 10 year milestone this year and she will be a recipient of a Long Service Award. She has an impeccable record with SAA and is one of the most dependable Cabin Crew Members in our employ.
Cabin Crew Member: Michelle De Freitas joined SAA in July 2011 and won the Crew Member of the month accolade in April 2012. Passengers have commented on her excellent customer service. Michelle is known for her big smile, her patience and passion for flying.
Putting the flight together were:
Flight Dispatcher: Mathilda du Plessis, was in charge of putting the flight together at Flight Dispatch at 06h30.
The flight dispatcher is responsible for SAA's Aircraft Dispatch system and interprets, applies compiles and calculates flight specific operational flight plan data and supporting documentation that includes, but is not limited to: Meteorological data and the interpretation and application thereof; Route specific NOTAM data and supplementary navigational data and the interpretation and application thereof; Fuel and flight time requirements; Alternate and route alternate selection; ETOPS and EDTO flight planning and documentation; Calculation and application of operational aircraft performance minimal and operational constraints and limitations; Navigational route construction; Application of aircraft MEL and CDL limitations; Non-Normal operations or aircraft configurations.
She also provides and advises the above, as applicable, to the Captain and Co-Pilot, as service and support in the use of pre-departure planning and Flight Crew briefing, and again, as required, during flight. This is all required for the safe and orderly conduct of each flight. A Flight Dispatcher has the same ground school subjects and qualifications as an Airline Transport Pilot except for the flying aspects.
Operations Controller: Nwabisa Mbulaheni
was the Operations Controller for SA313 at the Operations Control Centre at OR Tambo International Airport.
An Operations Controller performs an important function which includes the monitoring and coordinating of service provider activities around SAA aircraft worldwide and proactively employs corrective action where necessary to ensure on-time performance. She also monitors, obtains and investigates reasons for delays/route diversions and initiate voice or data messages in order to obtain relevant information. The OCC (Operations Control Centre) facilitates abnormal operations with the least inconvenience to passengers and disruption to the schedule in their daily function.
Load Controller: Nicole Mortimer, as the Load Controller, responsible for the weight and balance of the aircraft.
The Load controller trims the aircraft and produces a load plan. She also ensures that the dangerous goods are loaded and segregated according to dangerous goods manual, while also providing flight deck crew with the final zero fuel weight. Part of the load controller's job is to also provide flight deck crew with preliminary and final load sheets and affirm that weight and balance principles are adhered to, to ensure fuel efficiency.
Ramp Operations: Lucia Mcpherson, was the Ramp Agent for the day.
Her job is to co-ordinate activities above and below the wing of the aircraft, ensures that the aircraft is loaded and offloaded according to SAA specification, and also affirms that the aircraft is cleaned accordingly. She also ensures that meals are loaded according to the number of passengers on board. Moreover, the Agent enforces precision time schedule and service level agreement, monitors boarding processes and keeps flight deck, OCC and cabin crew informed. Importantly, the Ramp Agent also ensures that high safety standards are maintained at all times, passengers and SAA equipment is safeguarded.

- Profile: Crazy, fangirl, member of the Visual Experience Studio, my real name is Francesca, but the web knows me as JunJun.
This nick is the transliteration of the chinese word "precious".
I'm 20, Italian, and I have been making AMVs since 2003. Even so, I consider myself to be about average as an AMV editor. This mean that most of my AMV are nice, but nothing so special. I think my style is "immature", so I'm always working to improve it.
I became interested in AMV in the spring of 2003, when I first saw a Sailor Moon video made by MeriC. I will always love that maker for this. Most of what I saw before were simple, amateur fan videos, but after that one, everything changed, and I found myself inspired to make videos on my own. In September of 2003 I finished my first video, a digimon frontier one, "Shut up". I made it with Windows Movie Maker; I've been condamned to use that "program" until 2006, because I had a very old and slow computer, and any other software simply didn't work on it. T___T;;;
I like making all type of AMVs, but my favourite ones are parodies and comic ones, while I love watching well-made action videos. I tend to stick with projects if I'm actually having fun working on them, but often I begin a project and abandon it for lack of free time. :(
In these cases, I allow you to kick me.
I usually smile or laugh when I'm making a new AMV, even if it is a sad one. No, I'm not a freak. xD But I hope you enjoy my videos as much as I enjoy making them. ^^
My favourite music/singers:
Maaya Sakamoto, Utada Hikaru, BoA, Hans Zimmer, Kawaii Kenji, Within Temptation, Apocalyptica, Linkin' park, RED, Nightmare, Ayumi Hamasaki, ES Posthumus, Wagner, Mozart, Rie Fu, Morning Musume, Ania, Emilie Autumn, Elisa, Nightwish, Limp bizkit, Blackmore's Night, Einaudi, Skillet and many others. I like j-pop, soundtracks and instrumental music in general.
My musts for making a *good* AMV:
Cool anime
Nice music
Some freakin' programs
Free time... *trucks* of free time
Fangirl mode ON

Microsoft Secretly Testing Halo 4 Streaming To PC And Windows Phone
Talking under the condition of anonymity, sources close to Microsoft told The Verge that the company is testing own cloud-based game streaming service.
The service is still in prototype stage and it hasn't been branded yet, but The Verge's sources have seen Halo 4 for Xbox 360 being streamed to Windows PC and Lumia 520 Windows Phone smartphone.
Sony has already publicized its plan to use Gaikai streaming service to make PlayStation 3 game available on PlayStation 4. In a recent interview, Microsoft senior director of product management and planning Albert Penello didn't rule out the possibility of an equivalent setup for Xbox One.
"There are so many things that the servers can do," he said of Microsoft's Azure cloud service. "Using our Azure cloud servers, sometimes it's things like voice processing. It could be more complicated things like rendering full games like a Gaikai and delivering it to the box. We just have to figure out how, over time, how much does that cost to deliver, how good is the experience."

Still have a bit of painting, but the framing, siding and trim are complete. Porch is now the storage area for the remaining siding.
Metal roof materials for the porch and roofets should arrive next week. Getting the remaining metal roofs finished is high priority because it's holding up completing the siding work and, believe it or not, the leach field. We are using a scissor lift to install the siding and roofs and it's too heavy to drive over the leach field, so we have to finish at least the south side before we can install the leach field.
In the mean time we paint siding, a lot. All weekend, every weekend. I'm also trying to find someone to install gutters, 6″ half rounds, aluminum in Tuxedo Gray, with 4″ downspouts. We're also hoping to start the sheetrock on the second floor ceiling soon so we can do our first blower door test sometime in early September.

Audre Geraldine Lorde was the third child of Linda Belmar and Frederic Lorde born on February 18, 1943. Born Audrey, she dropped the "y" from her name while still a child, explaining in Zami: A New Spelling of My Name, that she was attracted to the symmetry of the "e" at the end of each name. Influenced by her mother's love for words and storytelling, Lorde was drawn to poetry and language from a young age. Her schooling began at a Catholic grammar school where she experienced racism and hostility. It was during this time that Lorde first began to develop her literary voice; as a teen she was an active contributor to her school arts magazine and published her first poem in Seventeen magazine. Lorde attended Hunter College (1954-1959) studying Library Science and went on to earn a Master's degree in that subject from Columbia University in 1961. There she met Edwin Ashley Rollins, an attorney, whom she married in 1962. Lorde and Rollins wedding reception took place at Roosevelt House. The couple had two children, Elizabeth and Jonathan; they divorced in 1970. In 1968, Lorde was a writer in residence at Tougaloo College in Mississippi where she met Frances Clayton, a professor of psychology, who was her partner until 1989.

These octal flip-flops are designed specifically for low-voltage (3.3-V) VCC operation, but with the capability to provide a TTL interface to a 5-V system environment.
The eight flip-flops of the 'LVTH574 devices are edge-triggered D-type flip-flops. On the positive transition of the clock (CLK) input, the Q outputs are set to the logic levels set up at the data (D) inputs.
A buffered output-enable (OE) input can be used to place the eight outputs in either a normal logic state (high or low logic levels) or a high-impedance state. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the bus lines significantly. The high-impedance state and increased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines without need for interface or pullup components.
OE does not affect the internal operations of the flip-flops. Old data can be retained or new data can be entered while the outputs are in the high-impedance state.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level. Use of pullup or pulldown resistors with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.
These devices are fully specified for hot-insertion applications using Ioff and power-up 3-state. The Ioff circuitry disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the devices when they are powered down. The power-up 3-state circuitry places the outputs in the high-impedance state during power up and power down, which prevents driver conflict.

These folks in Lincoln know how to do things right
Lincoln, Neb.
There are even ushers in the parking garages near Pinnacle Bank Arena. They smile. They hold doors for patrons. They ask how your day is going. Sort of makes you smirk, especially if you've ever experienced those yellow-jacketed puppets at Gampel Pavilion (where it's four dollars more to park, by the way). They're less likely to hold doors than to suggest they not leave a lasting impression, if they're not barking other missives.
They are nice people here in mid-America, further underscoring what a bunch of uptight, impatient nincompoops we are in the northeast. No, really. These people do polite as a habit.
And they know how to run a basketball tournament.
Note to the NCAA: If there's ever another occasion to play regionals at neutral sites, you should do some serious thinkin' about Lincoln.
Maybe by now in Connecticut, women's basketball headquarters, we've grown weary of all the "growth of the game" parables. You become immune. And then you miss when growth actually happens.
The game grew here this weekend.
The home team, the fighting Kelsey Griffins of Nebraska, didn't participate in the Lincoln Regional. And the crowds were still great. So was local media coverage. No provincialism, just professionalism.
"In football country, this is basketball country," Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said. "Congratulations to Nebraska, congratulations to this arena. This arena can hold national championships. It is well done. The game is so much better than what it used to be. That's how far this game has come."
Indeed. Add Lincoln to the growing list of pockets that have helped legitimize the women's game. They are still pockets, sure. But they're growing. A whole pant leg isn't far behind.
The regional semifinals drew 9,585 fans, the largest to date in the 2014 women's tournament. The previous high was 8,774 at Notre Dame earlier Saturday afternoon. The only other time women's basketball drew more at Pinnacle Bank Arena was the day it opened at the Cornhuskers played UCLA.
It was an enlightening weekend. Aside from the UConn women's accomplishment � Final Four No. 15 Monday night � we learned that Connecticut isn't the world's lone outpost for the women's sports revolution.
"Husker fans support women's athletics like no other," wrote Darnell Dickson of the Journal Star of Lincoln. "Nebraska was No. 1 nationally in women's volleyball attendance this year, unseating perennial champion Hawaii. The Devaney Center averaged 8,175 fans for every home game, for a total of 155,325. Nebraska was No. 3 in Big Ten women's basketball attendance at 6,161 fans per game. In 18 home games, 110,892 fans (UConn drew 149,625 in 18 home games, too) came to watch Husker women's hoops."
"Here's how special that is," Dickson wrote: "A study released in 2013 showed that of the 343 women's teams in Division I, 205 averaged fewer than 1,000 spectators and 90 averaged fewer than 500."
Such evidence suggests women's basketball remains a niche. But growth rarely happens exponentially. And while instant gratification is all the rage, progressive gratification is more enduring.
That's the word. Progressive.
Consider that in a week, UConn coach Geno Auriemma might win his ninth national championship. In fewer than 20 years. There aren't enough hosannas, really. Think, too, about the game in the last 20 years. It has blossomed from Knoxville, Ruston and far fewer pockets than today. ESPN has turned it more national than ever. UConn has become a national brand. They keep shoveling dirt on the WNBA and the WNBA keeps generating corporate sponsorships and Magic Johnson's money.
So what happens in the next 20 years with the same progressive growth?
And it happens one Lincoln at a time.
Here's hoping Nashville does as well with the Final Four as Lincoln did with the regional. A fun college town, nice people and an affinity for a growing game. Take note, skeptics. Another convert.
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.

The Oyster Sloop Priscilla
Priscilla - A Brief History
On Saturday, April 7, 1888, Elisha Saxton launched his brand new working sloop Priscilla into the Patchogue River. Saxton had built Priscilla for George Rhinehart of Lawrence, New York, who named the boat after his wife Priscilla. From 1888 to 1963, Priscilla was owned and operated by several oystermen from Connecticut and New York. During these many years, she experienced many changes. The oystermen spoke of "Pris" as a fast, able, "smart" boat and a "money maker" because, unlike other boats, she could dredge as well in light and heavy winds.
By 1963, the oyster beds were completely exhausted or covered with silt from storms and hurricanes of the previous decades. Priscilla was one of the last working sailboats to dredge the oyster beds north of the Chesapeake Bay.
From 1963 to 1976, Priscilla became a cruising sailboat, after much hull and interior restoration. Her owner John Woodside sailed Priscilla several times to the Bahamas and to Maine. In the early 1970's, he schooner rigged her, copying the sail plan of the famous schooner America.
In 1976, John Woodside donated her to the Suffolk Marine Museum, which is known today as The Long Island Maritime Museum. As the largest vessel in our small craft collection, Priscilla has served as an effective goodwill ambassador. Since coming to the museum Priscilla has traveled the Great South Bay visiting various ports of call, and has participated in special regattas held for classic vessels. In 1986, she participated in the Parade of Tall Ships at the Salute to the Statute of Liberty Fourth of July Celebration in New York Harbor receiving featured television coverage by WABC-TV.
The restoration of the sixty-foot, 1888 oyster dredge Priscilla began in 2002 and was the largest restoration project to date at the Long Island Maritime Museum. Priscilla has been returned to her original design, a gaff-rig sloop. This vessel is the oldest and only sailing workboat to survive from the Great South Bay oyster fleet. Her hull is traditionally built in wood, which had been fiberglassed over during a restoration in the late 1960s when she also was given a schooner rig.
Her dimensions are 60 feet in length overall, 40 feet on deck, with a 14 foot beam, and 4 foot 3 inch draft. In 2006 Priscilla was designated as a National Historic Landmark.

* India plans to raise nearly $6 bln from stake sales by end-March
* Banks shy away from some deals due to limited resources * Govt extends bid deadline to manage MMTC divestment By Sumeet Chatterjee
MUMBAI, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Wall Street banks have had enough of heavy work for puny paychecks on Indian government share sales - at least when it comes to smaller or difficult deals.
That choosiness comes at a bad time for India, which may struggle to hit its goal of raising nearly $6 billion from share sales in state companies by the end of March with investor demand for new shares expected to remain modest.
Just three banks, all local, bid to run a roughly $300 million stake sale in National Aluminium Co Ltd , said bankers with direct knowledge of the matter.
Two years ago, by comparison, 10 banks - four of them global heavyweights - bid to manage a $275 million initial public offering by state manganese ore producer MOIL Ltd .
That was despite a payday of $3 split among three winning banks with no reimbursement for expenses. That is a standard setup for state deals in India, where investment banks can lose $1 million or more on costs but have played along for league table credit and the hope of future business.
Now, global banks, weakened after rounds of job cuts, are shying away from state deals that are too small or difficult to do purely for credit in industry rankings.
"A couple of years ago, we would bid aggressively for all the government deals, hoping to win some of them. Today, we spend a lot of time in deciding the ones we would like to bid for the mandate," said the equity market head at a leading U.S. bank.
"The reason is simple - why take on additional costs when the business itself is bad?" said the executive, who like several other bankers declined to be identified for fear of losing future government business.
Banks lose money on even the biggest Indian state deals.
Coal India Ltd , which raised $3.5 billion two years ago in India's largest IPO, paid fees to its six banks that were not enough to cover a night's stay in a hotel during the investor roadshow to places like Singapore and Hong Kong.
By comparison, fees for private sector IPOs in India are between 2 percent and 4 percent of the money raised, while for secondary share deals they range from 1.5 to 3 percent, banking sources said. In China, state companies pay about 2.5 percent for IPOs in Hong Kong, and 1 to 1.5 percent for follow-on sales.
"It's tough to build a sustainable investment banking business or indeed a sustainable disinvestment process based on no fees while also bearing all the costs of the offering," said Tarun Kataria, CEO of India's Religare Capital Markets, who was previously HSBC's India head of global banking and markets.
<^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Graphic on divestment and proceeds, fiscal deficit: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^> LOW FEES, LOW EFFORT?
Bankers have long grumbled in private about New Delhi's miserly fees. The downside for the government is that it may not get the best effort from banks, and deals sometimes fizzle.
"There's got to be some incentive to do these deals. If the banks are losing money on these deals, they won't put in their best effort," said a banker with an Indian investment bank.
State investors led by Life Insurance Corp of India (LIC) have ended up bailing out several big share sales that failed to generate sufficient market demand.
In a botched deal in March, LIC ended up with most of the shares in a $2.6 billion stock auction in Oil and Natural Gas Corp that led to finger-pointing over its handling, with the government coming in for a big part of the blame.
New Delhi can be a difficult client, sometimes ignoring advice from banks on pricing and timing. The floor price for the ONGC auction was set at a 2.3 percent premium to its trading price, giving little incentive to buy.
Many state deals are long in coming to market.
The lowest-ever winning bid was on a share sale by Steel Authority of India - one-hundredth of a rupee split among six banks including JPMorgan , Deutsche Bank
and HSBC . That mandate was awarded in 2010 and the deal, worth over $1.5 billion then, is still pending.
"The government is not as flexible as the private companies. They call us to New Delhi at the drop of a hat for meetings and despite that some deals take years to get executed, if at all," said the equity market head at a big foreign bank in Mumbai.
India is in the process of appointing banks to manage share offerings in four firms - National Aluminium, MMTC Ltd , Oil India Ltd and NMDC Ltd .
Last month, Credit Suisse was the only foreign bank among six to pitch for a share sale in Neyveli Lignite
to raise up to roughly $150 million. It is one of the three banks short-listed for the deal.
The deadline to run the sale of 9.33 percent of trading firm MMTC was extended last month after drawing a muted response, a government source said.
Global banks have shied away from MMTC, which is 99.33 percent state-owned and has a price-to-earnings ratio of over 600 times, making it tough to price.
Major banks still covet the bigger state deals.
Last week, India short-listed five banks including Goldman Sachs , Citigroup and Bank of America-Merrill Lynch
to sell 10 percent of iron ore miner NMDC for roughly $1.5 billion.
The winners were chosen from 16 bidders including Credit Suisse, Barclays and Deutsche Bank.
The short list for Oil India's $550 million share sale is expected next week, and it may see more interest from banks due to its size and hopes of getting follow-up business, including M&A advisory, from the cash-rich company, banking sources said.

I took my newly-minted eight year-old to the park yesterday to ride her bike. The snow had melted, the sun was shining and she was eager to be reunited with her bike after such a long, hard winter.
Teaching her to ride her bike and riding with her has always been her father's job (I'm not a confident biker and I'd always rather walk on my own two feet than balance on two wheels.) As I wrote here, if it wasn't for him, she'd have never learned for I was always too fearful, terrified she'd fall, scared she'd hurt not just her knees but also her confidence.
Oh, I was so wrong.
It wasn't her who needed to conquer her fears, it was me.
She set off on her bike yesterday, pumping those pedals, the wind in her hair. "Be careful, don't go too far out of my sight," I cried out. But it was already too late. Her hair was streaming out behind her, her helmet getting smaller as she accelerated away from me down the path, picking up speed. Though I couldn't see her face, I knew she was smiling from ear to ear.
She rounded the corner. I could still see her flying like the wind. And then, she was out of sight, around another corner.
I listened acutely for for the high-pitched wail that I would surely hear as she'd crash off the bike and hurtle to the ground. I hastened my already speedy pace, desperate to catch up to her or at least spot her in the distance.
A glimmer of stranger danger dangled on the edge of my nervous system, taunting my imagination with every parent's worst fears. Yes, there were lots of people at this park but maybe among them, there might be one with ill intent, looking at her that way?
What if she gets scared when she realizes she can't see me, I worried? I picked up the pace even more, blisters forming on my sockless-in-shoes-for-the-first-time-since-winter feet.
Panting and sweating and on the brink of panic, I rounded the corner and stared into the distance, squinting to make her out among the swarm of adults and kids walking, biking and skateboarding on this beautiful spring day.
Suddenly in the distance, I spotted the shape of her helmet, her long hair, her knees moving fast up and down, zooming towards me. Triumphant, happy, cheeks aglow. "Mama!" she cried. "I was pedalling so far, so fast. It was so cool." She grabbed a sip of water and took off once again, yelling that she'd meet me back at the park entrance.
And it was then I realized.
She's now a confident bike rider. There was no fall, no wail, no grazed knees.
She knows how to get out of a stranger's grip. She's a blue belt in karate – she can punch and kick and shout, really loudly.
She knows my cell number, we've talked about what to do if she's lost, what kind of adult to find.
For parents, fear is a constant. Fear that we don't know what we are doing, fear that we'll screw up, screw them up. Fear they'll get hurt. Fear they'll get lost. Fear of strangers. Fear they won't accomplish what we – and they – want to achieve.
Yesterday, for me, was a solid lesson in letting go of some of that fear and replacing it with confidence in my child. Confidence in her abilities and smarts. Confident that her father and I have equipped her with many of the tools to succeed. Fear will always be there, but as I learned yesterday, it's my problem, not hers.

Stranded in Gaza
Twelve-year-olds like Odai Abu Hassan usually love going on exciting trips – except, of course, when they have to dodge bombs on their way to the airport, which is what happened to Odai and his relatives in Damascus.
If the start of their journey was harrowing, the final stage of their escape from the Syrian Civil War was certainly not for the faint-hearted. After landing in Cairo and making an exhausting journey in a rickety taxi that rattled and bumped them across the Sinai, Odai, his brother and his aunt had to muster their last ounce of courage to crawl several kilometres through an airless tunnel to reach Gaza. When asked what it was like, Odai, a shy, slender boy whispers "terrible" before falling silent.
His aunt Amna relates all the dreadful things that Odai has experienced in his young life: the loss of his father, who died of a heart attack, and the departure of his mother, who left him and his brother Ahmed, four years his senior, to start a new life with another man. Then came the news of the death of his grandmother, who was killed by shell fire in Yarmouk, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Syria.
They all grew up in Yarmouk: Odai, Ahmed, Aunt Amna, and the other relatives who now share a cheap flat in an unfinished building in Rafah at the southern border of the Gaza Strip. Today, Yarmouk lies in ruins. Ever since heavy fighting broke out last winter between Syrian rebels, who hid out in the refugee camp, and the troops of the Assad regime, most of Yarmouk's 160,000 inhabitants have fled.
Refuge for the poorest of the poor
Only the poorest of the poor stayed behind. The situation in the other eight camps is barely any better; almost all of them have been turned into war zones. Half a million Palestinian refugees were registered in Syria. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) estimates that half of them no longer have a roof over their heads and that 70,000 Palestinians have fled Syria. Unlike Syrian civil war refugees, the Palestinian refugees are not welcome anywhere – except in Gaza.
Hamas is at least making a show of welcoming them with open arms. "Our brothers should feel at home here with us," said Ghazi Hamad, deputy foreign minister, setting the tone. Odai and the other refugee children are now attending school again. "The people are really nice; they don't have much, but they help us to the best of their ability," says 52-year-old Kamilia Abu Schkaim, who fled to Gaza with her six children in the summer of 2012 when the fighting started in Yarmouk. In her case it was easy: the Egyptians allowed them to cross the border to Rafah without asking too many questions. It's the same the world over: countries are quite happy to offload refugees onto other countries.
They were heading for Gaza because the UNRWA is active there, as it is in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. The UNRWA gave them mattresses, blankets, saucepans and 125 dollars housing benefit per month. In short, they were given the bare necessities.
Nevertheless, Kamilia Abu Schkaim is having great difficulty adjusting to life in Rafah. She is an emancipated, divorced woman who worked as a journalist in Syria and likes to speak her mind. She is anything but an Islamist.
Gaza: the end of the line
She certainly doesn't want to complain; after all, Hamas got her a job in a hospital on a job creation scheme where she earns €180 a month. "It's just that everything is so foreign here," she says, "even the food is different." The irony is that she has never been closer to the old Palestinian homeland. The village from which her parents fled in 1948 – the year Israel declared independence and the year of al-nakba (Palestine's catastrophe) – is only a few kilometres away as the crow flies in the Negev, the desert bordering the Gaza Strip. She sighs: "Gaza is the end of the line for us."
Although the Gaza Strip is overpopulated and lacks supplies, the roughly one thousand Palestinians who have fled there from Syria are better off in Gaza than other Palestinian refugees elsewhere. Many of the 50,000 Palestinians who were able to flee the Syrian civil war to Lebanon don't know where to go. UNRWA staff report that the infamous Sabra and Shatila refugee camps are so catastrophically overcrowded that some dormitories have to be used in shifts.
The 9,000 Palestinians from Syria who made it across the Jordanian border are right at the bottom of the refugee hierarchy. They were not even admitted to the Zaatari refugee camp, where 120,000 Syrians currently live in tents; they were put in special separate camps that are even more restrictive. It is said that the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has even sent some Palestinian refugees back to Syria because it is worried about its "demographic balance".
The reality of life as a refugee
This raises the question as to why the moderate autonomous authority in Ramallah is not doing more to help these people. It at least says that it is willing to take them in. The authority says that it asked Israel to allow Palestinians from Syria over the Allenby Bridge into the West Bank, says Mohammed Shtayyeh, one of the peace negotiators. However, the Israelis only wanted to let these needy people pass if they agreed to officially renounce their refugee status. "We completely reject this condition," says Shtayyeh.
This is all about the so-called "right of return", one of the thorniest subjects in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Although everyone knows that there will only be a pragmatic solution and no mass return of people to Israel, no one dares to call the principle into question; not even when lives are at stake.
So far, 1,377 Palestinians have lost their lives in the Syrian civil war and dozens have drowned while attempting to make the crossing from Libya to Malta. The refugees from Syria who are stranded in Gaza also say that no one would accept Ramallah giving way to the Israelis on the subject of the right of return even though many refugees would benefit from an opening of the West Bank.
This ideologically charged debate completely ignores how individuals want to live their lives. "When the civil war is over and I have enough money for the tickets," says Odai's aunt, Amna Abu Hassan, "we have only one goal: to return to Syria. We were born there; we feel at home there." The feisty Kamilia Abu Schkaim puts it in more drastic terms: "When that time comes, I won't stay another day in Gaza."

PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) a simple cost effective way to buy your new or nearly new
You choose the car, the deposit, how long you want the contract to run for and the mileage you intend to do. You will then receive a quote for fixed cost motoring for the length of the contract. At the end of the contract you have a choice to either buy the car outright for an agreed lump sum (the GFV or final balloon payment), or hand the vehicle back to the lender.
Hire Purchase allows you to take ownership of a car once all payments are made.
This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the car is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on
monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.
Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for
private individuals. This
is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a car for a contractual period - usually referred to as the 'lease period'. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract - when the contract expires you will simply return the car and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your car.
