Washington: Researchers have identified an aspect of brain activity which may help explain why for some cigarette smokers, strategies to aid quitting work well, while for many others no method seems to work.
Researchers from Penn State observed the brains of nicotine-deprived smokers with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and found that those who exhibited the weakest response to rewards were also the least willing to refrain from smoking, even when offered money to do so.
"We believe that our findings may help to explain why some smokers find it so difficult to quit smoking," said Stephen J Wilson, assistant professor of psychology, Penn State.
"Namely, potential sources of reinforcement for giving up smoking - for example, the prospect of saving money or improving health - may hold less value for some individuals and, accordingly, have less impact on their behaviour," Wilson said.
The researchers recruited 44 smokers to examine striatal response to monetary reward in those expecting to smoke and in those who were not, and the subsequent willingness of the smokers to forego a cigarette in an effort to earn more money.
"The striatum is part of the so-called reward system in the brain. It is the area of the brain that is important for motivation and goal-directed behaviour - functions highly relevant to addiction," said Wilson.
The participants, who were between the ages of 18 and 45, all reported that they smoked at least 10 cigarettes per day for the past 12 months.
They were instructed to abstain from smoking and from using any products containing nicotine for 12 hours prior to arriving for the experiment.
Each participant spent time in an fMRI scanner while playing a card-guessing game with the potential to win money. The participants were informed that they would have to wait approximately two hours, until the experiment was over, to smoke a cigarette.
Partway through the card-guessing task, half of the participants were informed that there had been a mistake, and they would be allowed to smoke during a 50-minute break that would occur in another 16 minutes.
However, when the time came for the cigarette break, the participant was told that for every 5 minutes he or she did not smoke, he or she would receive USD 1 - with the potential to earn up to USD 10.
Researchers found that smokers who could not resist the temptation to smoke also showed weaker responses in the ventral striatum when offered monetary rewards while in the fMRI.
The study is published in the journal Cognitive, Affective and Behavioral Neuroscience.

Real-World Review
2013 Honda Accord: Living Up to the Hype
I recently had the chance to spend a few days behind the wheel of our long-term 2013 Honda Accord. Although we've had the Accord for several months, other staff members have done most of the driving. They've raved about the Accord's many positive attributes, from its value and quality to its standard equipment.
As this is my first time in the Accord, I echo many of their sentiments. Our Accord's best trait may be its value. It's hard to believe you can now spend less than $30,000 with shipping and get features such as LaneWatch, two center-mounted screens, a reversing camera, heated leather seats, dual-zone climate control and the Accord's long list of standard safety equipment.
Build quality is also impressive. The Accord isn't a luxury car, and it doesn't feel like the best from Mercedes-Benz or BMW -- but it isn't as far off as the price difference might suggest. Some items may look a little inexpensive, but nothing feels cheap to touch. And that's a big deal for drivers choosing a car they'll want to own for a long time.
Among all the Accord's standard equipment, it's LaneWatch that impresses me most. You might think a camera that takes the place of your side mirror sounds like a gimmick. But I know it works well because when I try to change lanes in a car without LaneWatch, my first glance is to the center console. I wish more cars had this system.
Still, there are a few things I might improve on the 2013 Honda Accord. For example, it seems silly that Honda chose to fit it with so many luxury goodies but decided to leave off automatic wipers; drivers in rainy climates will notice this right away.
I'm also not entirely sold on the Accord's engine and transmission combination. My colleagues love it, but I think our 4-cylinder Accord could use a little extra power. Interestingly, I found the V6 model we tested a few months ago to be horsepower overkill. Something in the middle -- possibly a turbocharged 4-cylinder like the engines available in many rivals -- would be a great option.
Of course, most buyers won't mind trading slightly sluggish acceleration for excellent gas mileage. In that case, their only complaints will come when it rains.

1. Re: 82579LM No full/half duplex options workwinston432 Aug 3, 2011 8:58 AM (in response to winston432)
Ok, having investigated this further, I have found the following.
When "Wait for Link" is set to Off and link speed is set to anything other than auto negotiate, the NIC loses all connectivity and reports no cable is plugged in. When "Wait for Link" is set to On or Auto, there is no problem in setting link speed.
We have tested this thoroughly and are 100% sure this is a bug with the NIC. We are using the latest driver, and have tested on 3 different brand new PC's.
2. Re: 82579LM No full/half duplex options workrosiao Aug 8, 2011 9:36 PM (in response to winston432)
I have a DQ67SW board here that uses an onboard Intel 82579LM Gigabit network controller. I installed Windows 7 64bit and update the drivers from the installer CD one by one starting with the chipset drivers. I tried the different link speeds and so far I did not encounter the issue. (Try installing from scratch if you are using a new system and work your way up one by one)
Here are the details of the drivers.
Initial driver;
Original Proset version is 22.214.171.124
Original Driver Version: 220.127.116.11
tried different link speeds including 100Mbps Full Duplex, Auto-generate, etc except for the Gigabit speed since I am using only a 100Mbps switch. So far everything is working ok.
I also tried to download the 16.4 software and it also worked ok. You can try it out but I suggest checking it out with HP first. Here is the link http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=20275&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%2C%2064-bit*&DownloadType=Drivers
What is your exact system system configuration (brand and model)
What kind of switch/router are you using? you might want to check the settings too.
Are you using an add-on or onboard NIC?
Check to see if there are any conflicts in Device Manager.
Let me know if this helps.
3. Re: 82579LM No full/half duplex options workwinston432 Aug 9, 2011 2:36 AM (in response to rosiao)
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I did a fresh installation of Windows 7 when attempting to troubleshoot the problem. I have tried the original Windows driver, reinstalling the driver through the HP recovery disc, and installing the driver from the HP website (v 188.8.131.52).
It is a HP 8200 Elite Microtower with onboard Intel 82579LM. We have tried using a dumb switch (Netgear) and our usual Netgear ProSafe managed switch; however as I mentioned, when the link speed is set to 100/Full, we lose all connection, so I'm fairly sure the switch is irrelevant to our issue.
There are no conflicts in Device Manager, running the Intel Diagnostics when the card is set to 100/Full just produces a result saying that a cable is unplugged. Of course, it is not.
I will try the driver version 16.4 as you suggested and post whether I have any luck or not.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Winston432 and Rosiao -
Thank you for using Intel Ethernet! I wanted to let you know that we had identified a problem similiar to what you describe when forcing the speed and duplex from the advanced tab. The fix for this issue should be coming out this month and will be part of our 16.5 release.

5. Re: 82579LM No full/half duplex options workbzrdhd Aug 16, 2011 5:56 AM (in response to milespenner)
We are having a similar problem with the 82579LM in HP PCs and laptops and are wondering if it might also be addressed by the 16.5 driver update. Our switch ports and nics are set to 100 Full. While the nic is set to 100 Full, the actual link speed drops to 100 Half--if not immediately, then shortly, and definitely once the PC has been rebooted. At 100 Half, the speed at which we can upload large files is drastically slower than it is at 100 Full. Our short-term fix is to install the driver for the 82577 nic, which runs at 100 full and does not drop back to 100 Half. We'd appreciate any comments or suggestions you might have. Thanks.
6. Re: 82579LM No full/half duplex options workmark_h_@intel Aug 16, 2011 6:04 PM (in response to milespenner)
A zip file of the version 16.5 CD is available at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=20232. I expect that web packs by OS t to be posted later this week or next week if you want to wait for a smaller download size.
This the version that has the fix that Miles posted about.

7. Re: 82579LM No full/half duplex options workbzrdhd Aug 17, 2011 6:29 AM (in response to mark_h_@intel)
The 82579LM driver available with the 16.5 CD doesn't seem to correct our problem. In fact the driver date and version, 7/20/2011 and 188.8.131.52, respectively, appear to be the same as what we had installed before I updated the driver. Is 188.8.131.52 the driver version that is found on the 16.5 CD, or did I fail to update the nic software properly?
8. Re: 82579LM No full/half duplex options workbzrdhd Aug 17, 2011 6:42 AM (in response to bzrdhd)
Correction: previously, we tried the 82579LM driver, dated 12/21/2010, version 220.127.116.11. Regardless, version 188.8.131.52 doesn't correct the problem I outlined previously.
9. Re: 82579LM No full/half duplex options workjohn.kelsey Aug 22, 2011 9:27 AM (in response to bzrdhd)
We are also having problems with the full/half duplex options for the 82579LM and are awaiting the 16.5 version for the fix. I am just wondering if there is any ETA for the release of the Windows drivers.
10. Re: 82579LM No full/half duplex options workmark_h_@intel Aug 22, 2011 2:29 PM (in response to john.kelsey)
You can get the Windows* 7 web pack from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18713. The files just went out to the main server a short time ago, so depending on the mirror where you get your file, you might still be seeing version 16.4 instead of version 16.5. That will clear up as the caches get updated. So if you get 16.4 instead of 16.5, I would say try back later or tomorrow (August 23).
For the "not getting a connection when configuring speed or duplex other than auto negotiate" fix, if version 16.5 does not seem to resolve the issue, then try completely uninstalling the software and drivers for the network connection. Then do a clean install. Let us know how that works.

Hi Mark,
I should have been more clear, our users are still running XP and were wondering when 16.5 drivers would be released for it.
Thanks again,
12. Re: 82579LM No full/half duplex options workmark_h_@intel Aug 23, 2011 9:56 AM (in response to john.kelsey)
The Windows* webpacks work for all versions of Windows from Windows XP and Server 2003 up through Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. The pages where you download the webpacks for specific versions of Windows have different lists of adapters and controllers depending on what device supports which version of Windows.
For example, if you have a device that has drivers for Windiows 7, but not Windows Server 2008 R2, you would see that device on the list for Windows 7, but not on the list for Server 2008 R2. But, you can download from any of the "Windows" pages and get the same webpack.
PROWin32.exe is the same file for 32-bit Windows on every download center page.
PROWinx64.exe is the same file for 64-bit Windows on every download center page.
I expect that all the pages will be update to 16.5 files before today is over, but you can download 16.5 right now from the WIndows 7 link and use the file on Windows XP.
I hope this explanation is helpful instead of confusing. I hope version 16.5 meets your expectations.

I expect all of the 16.5 download center webpacks to be live by the end of the day (if they are not already live.) I am checking on them now. For those who want the Windows XP webpack, here it is: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18717. I just checked and this one is now at version 16.5.
14. Re: 82579LM switching to 100/half even when set to 100/full hardone19 Aug 26, 2011 6:29 AM (in response to mark_h_@intel)
Hi Mark,
We still continue to face the same problems.
- Hardware: Lenovo M91p and Dell T1600 with the embedded 82579LM Ethernet Controller
- Software: Windows XP SP3
- Network: PC set to 100Mbps/Full Hard. Switch set to 100Mbps/Full Hard.
Driver Versions Tested:
- Intel PROSet Version 126.96.36.199, Driver Version: 220.127.116.11 (e1c5132.sys), Driver Date: 21 Dec 2010
- Intel PROSet Version 188.8.131.52, Driver Version: 188.8.131.52, Driver Date: 23 Jun 2011
- Intel PROSet Version 126.96.36.199, Driver Version: 220.127.116.11, Driver Date: 20 Jul 2011
Scenario and Results:
PC Switch Result 100Mbps/Full Hard 100Mbps/Full Hard 100Mbps/Half (see NOTE A) Auto Negotiation Auto/Auto 100Mbps/Full (Auto) 100Mbps/Full Hard Auto/Auto 100Mbps/Full (see NOTE B) Auto Negotiation 100Mbps/Full Hard 100Mbps/Half
- NOTE A: The connection would sometimes connect at 100Mbps/Full or 100Mbps/Half. Disconnecting* and re-connecting NIC may cause a change from Full to Half (or vice-versa). Sometimes, when we reconnect, we don't get a link at all. We'll have to try several times. No consistency or clear pattern has been established. It is seemingly random. (*Disconnecting by unplugging the cable or disabling the NIC via Control Panel).
- NOTE B: This scenario seems to indicate that even when the setting on the 82579LM is set to 100Mbps/Full Hard, it still seems to "negotiate." That is why it ends up as 100Mbps/Full. Strictly speaking, if it does not negotiate, then it should fall back to 100Mbps/Half. This is just my opinion based on the test results.
Event Viewer Data: When reviewing System Event Viewer data, filtered by Source: e1cexpress, we noticed the following:
- On a PC without any issues (e.g., embedded 82567LM-3) or with the 82579LM set to auto-auto, we will only see one entry for e1cexpress (Event 33). We have hundreds of desktops in an environment set to 100/******* both ends and we've never encountered this problem.
- On the PC's we tested with the embedded 82579LM ethernet controller, we noticed that there will always be 2 e1cexpress entries in the event viewer (either 34 then 33; or 27 then 33). Again, if we set the 82579LM to auto and set the switch to auto as well, we only get 1 e1cexpress event viewer entry.
Event ID Descriptions:
- Event ID 27: Network link is disconnected.
- Event ID 33: Network link has been established at 100Mbps full duplex.
- Event ID 34: Network link has been established at 100Mbps half duplex.
Let us know if you have any suggestions on what else we can try to resolve this issue.

Gender Roles
This is a photographic study of gender in society. We are searching for photographs and stories about the traditional and nontraditional roles that men and women play in the community you call home.
Gender determines our destiny more than we may realize.
As babies, being a boy or a girl may determine how you are dressed, what toys you are given, and the visions your parents have for your future.
In middle childhood, we tend to segregate ourselves into single-gender peer groups. We model our play after our same-sex role models, and begin to adopt our own dreams for the future.
Elements of masculinity and femininity have solidified into our personalities by young adulthood. The gender role we adopt then affects us socially, academically, and professionally from then on.
Some believe gender is a social construction, but it has a biological basis. The ultimate expression of gender roles in society revolves around child rearing, marriage, and family. It is in this realm that gender most frequently becomes political.
For this study, show us images that portray the male and female roles in your family, community, or country. Gender roles may be traditional or modern, masculine, feminine, or androgynous. They may show the roles of husbands and wives, fathers and daughters, or groups of boys and girls.
Story submissions are strongly encouraged.

Heisey homers as Reds down Angels
Cincinnati, OH – Chris Heisey hit a two-run homer to help the Cincinnati Reds beat the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 5-4, in the rubber match of baseball's first season-opening interleague series.
Heisey is hoping to make the most of his opportunity as the Reds' everyday left fielder following the injury to Ryan Ludwick. His blast was one of three given up by offseason addition Joe Blanton (0-1), who worked five innings in his Angels debut.
Bronson Arroyo (1-0) got the starting nod in the 20,000th game in Reds history and departed after six frames with his team up 5-3.
The Angels got within a run in the seventh and were threatening for more.
Reigning AL rookie of the year Mike Trout hustled for a leadoff double against Cincinnati reliever Alfredo Simon. A tremendous defensive play by second baseman Brandon Phillips momentarily saved a run as he reeled in a ground ball and threw Erick Aybar out at first base. Trout moved to third on the play and scored on an Albert Pujols groundout.
Simon then hit Josh Hamilton with a pitch and Mark Trumbo followed with a soft liner to right for an opposite-field double, but the right-hander ended the inning by retiring Howie Kendrick on a fly ball to right.
Sam LeCure struck out the side in the eighth for Cincinnati, and Reds closer Aroldis Chapman earned the save by fanning Hamilton with the tying run on second base.
The Reds won their first series against the Angels after dropping two of three in 2002 and 2007.
Cincinnati twice built leads, only for the Angels to fight back.
"We battled back (from a four-run deficit) last night and again this afternoon and got back into a game and had some opportunities," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "One key hit last night or one key hit this afternoon could have swung the game in our favor."
The Reds led off each of the first two innings with home runs.
Blanton's first pitch as an Angel was crushed over the left-field wall by Shin-Soo Choo. Todd Frazier then lined a Blanton offering just inside the foul pole in left field.
The Angels tied things up with a two-out rally in the third. Aybar kept the inning alive with a single and advanced to third on a double by Pujols. Both men then scored on Hamilton's first hit in an Angels uniform, a single to center field. Choo's throw beat Pujols to the plate, but Cincinnati catcher Ryan Hanigan whiffed on the sweep tag.
Frazier narrowly missed a second home as his drive hit the top of the left- field wall to start the fourth. An error by Trout on the play allowed Frazier to go to third and he scored the go-ahead run on Hanigan's sacrifice fly to right.
Pujols' sac fly in the next frame scored Trout and made it a 3-3 game, but Heisey quickly restored the lead when he followed a leadoff single by Choo in the bottom of the fifth with a smash to left.
"I've proven I can play the bench. I think I can start and hopefully I prove that," Heisey said.
Game Notes
Choo registered his sixth career leadoff home run ... Cincinnati pitchers set a new club record for the most strikeouts in the first three games of a season with 36 ... Aybar collected three hits ... The Angels were 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position ... Hamilton and Pujols went a combined 2-for-23 in the series.

On the southeast side of the Silver River, about a mile from the Silver Springs attraction, scrub pines, saw palmettos and cabbage palms hide a treasured piece of history beneath their scruffy tangle.
Editor's note: This is another in a periodic series about the people whose lives are as much a part of the Silver Springs tradition as the crystal waters that bubble up from the earth.
On the southeast side of the Silver River, about a mile from the Silver Springs attraction, scrub pines, saw palmettos and cabbage palms hide a treasured piece of history beneath their scruffy tangle.
Underneath the sun-filtered brush lies a former resort that was popular with blacks from 1949 to 1969.
Designated "for colored people only," the property was developed by Carl Ray and W.M. "Shorty" Davidson, co-owners of Silver Springs from 1924 to 1962. They called it Paradise Park.
While making improvements in the Silver Springs area, Ray and Davidson also took the time to create a tropical setting of palm trees, flowering azaleas and multi-colored pansies, specifically for black people who, because of segregation, were barred from the main attraction.
There was a sandy beach, a pavilion with a dance floor, a concession stand and a picnic area. Visitors played softball and other sports, and they went swimming there.
"I loved it," said Mary Carolyn Williams, wife of retired Ocala Police Chief Sam Williams. A sparkle came to her eyes as she reflected on outings there with two of her brothers.
"My dad would say, 'We're going swimming,' and we knew that meant Paradise Park," she said. "We'd be scampering about, grabbing towels, and putting on our swimsuits. At the park, we would tear out of that station wagon and start running down the hill into the water."
One of three major Florida beaches that catered to black people at that time, Paradise Park drew about 100,000 visitors annually. People came, sometimes by the busload, from as far away as New York and California.
Churches held baptisms and Easter sunrise services there. They had Easter egg hunts and, in the winter, Santa would come down the river on a glass-bottom boat, passing out fruit, nuts and candy to the children. Herpetologist Ross Allen set up an exhibit there. And, on Labor Day, there was a beauty pageant, sponsored by a local American Legion post.
In 1949, Mildred Jones of Sanford was crowned the first Miss Paradise Park.
"It was just an exciting place to go on hot summer days," Mary Williams said. "The water was cool, the beach was sandy, like the bottom of the spring. There was a platform near the deep end. We referred to it as 'the float.' It had ladders on it, and we would climb right up on the float. You would run into people who were doing the same thing."
Born in 1948, Williams grew up with segregation. She knew there were places she couldn't go, but she didn't question it until she was a teenager and got involved in the civil rights movement.
But, as a child, Williams played in happy innocence at Paradise Park.
"We would go down to the edge of the spring and we could see the shops and the glass-bottom boats on the other side," she said. "I was there with my family, and I didn't need anything else. We had people dancing to music and kids jumpin' in the water. We had fun. Why would we want to go somewhere else?"
From the time it opened in 1949 until two years before it closed, Paradise Park was managed by Eddie Leroy Vereen. Born in 1897, Vereen, with only an eighth-grade education, was a self-taught "jack-of-all-trades." In addition to overseeing Paradise Park's operation, he visited schools, colleges, churches and civic groups, where he passed out brochures and promoted the park.
Vereen retired at the age of 70 in 1967, and he died in 1975.
During the park's heyday, Vereen hired several family members to work there. His son, Leroy, was a part-time driver of glass-bottom boats. Eddie's daughters, Henrietta "Chippie" Cunningham and Vivian Tillman, and his nieces, Arizona Vereen and Catherine Vereen (now Montgomery), worked in the gift shop, in the kitchen, and anywhere they were needed.
"We did everything," Montgomery said. "At that time, we only had so many people employed there. We worked from sunup to sundown, right up until the people left. Then, we had all the school groups that would come down from all these different states. So we'd go down at 4 o'clock in the morning, put on the grits and have everything ready for the children when they come in."
Henry Jones, Eddie Vereen's nephew, first visited the park with his Boy Scout troop. Later, as a teenager, he became one of the lifeguards. Except for himself and two friends, Bobby Thomas and George McCants, all the lifeguards are gone now, he said.
"Newt Perry trained 12 of us as lifeguards," Jones said. "He trained us during the off-season in the wintertime. The water was 72 degrees. It was 62 degrees outside, and we had to go in the water to get warm.
"We had to learn all of the holds and come up alongside the person who was in trouble," Jones continued. "You haven't learned how to swim until you've swum with a concrete block held in front of you to prove you could save somebody."
Jones said the crowd sometimes was a bit overwhelming down by the river.
"We'd blow everybody out of the water with a whistle, and then we'd go down to the bottom and feel around to see if anybody was down there," he said. "Nobody ever drowned at Paradise Park.
"And, there was no drinking allowed," Jones added. "I worked there six days a week, and there was not one incident. We never had to call the police."
At times, the park overflowed with visitors. One day, Arizona Vereen counted 30 buses in the parking lot. On another occasion, while placing stickers on automobile bumpers, Eddie Vereen's grandson, Reginald "Reggie" Lewis, counted 247 cars.
Lewis worked at the park from the time he was 4 years old, picking up bottles with his little red wagon for 50 cents a week, until he left at 19 to join the Air Force.
As a youngster, Lewis posed for an ink blotter advertisement with the message, "No Wonder I'm Smiling! I've Seen Silver Springs." During his teens, he was a lifeguard. He also cooked hamburgers, met the boats when they came in, and helped keep the grounds clean.
"My granddaddy was very adamant about keeping the place clean," Lewis said. "If you went down to meet the boat and there was a piece of paper on the ground, he would remind you to go pick it up on the way back. Everything was spotless."
Best of all, admission to the park was free. Lewis recalled that the swim fee, 35 cents, included a towel and a picnic basket for storing clothes. The cost to ride the glass-bottom boat was $1.25, and the jungle cruise was 65 cents, he said.
All day long, glass-bottom boats and jungle cruises carrying white people glided past Paradise Park. Lewis noticed the white people seemed fascinated with the black playground. From a distance, they could see the children splashing in the water, and they could hear the rousing music from the jukebox.
On one occasion, one of the passengers claimed she had to use the bathroom facility. So, the boat captain docked and let her off.
"She didn't use the bathroom," Lewis said, laughing. "She was out there shakin' her bootie on the dance floor. A lot of people don't believe me when I say one of my grandfather's jobs was to keep the white people from coming in."
The passing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 brought long-awaited social reforms to black Americans, particularly in the south. But, in Ocala, the achievement also brought a sense of loss with the eventual dismantling of Paradise Park.
Soon, Ross Allen began moving his reptiles to the Silver Springs area. By the time Lewis returned home from the Air Force in 1969, the park had already closed.
"Everybody was sad, because it was like home to most of the blacks," Lewis said. "Integration was good to a point, but we also lost. It was a part of the black community. When they closed it down, it took something away from everybody."
Today, Paradise Park remains buried beneath the underbrush. However, 10 years ago, Ocala photographer Cynthia Graham set out on a quest to revive memories of the long-forgotten park. She began gathering photos and data for a book to be written through a collaboration with Lucinda Vickers, a writer in Tallahassee. Graham also visited the park with Leon Cheatom, who was employed at Silver Springs at the time.
"We got in a Jeep and drove down Paradise Road, and he took me in by foot," Graham recalled. "Then, he took me on a boat down the river to show me where the park was off the river. Everything was overgrown, and there was debris from the concrete benches. There was nothing else left. You can't get to the beach area. You can't tell there ever was a park back there."
In the beginning, Graham met with disappointment when she realized very little had been written about Paradise Park.
"What I thought would take me six months to write has taken me 10 years just to gather this information," Graham said. "Some individuals may not talk to me, because they don't know me and because they have that heartfelt past they don't want to share. They have painful memories of how they were treated during the era of segregation. Others will share that information, because they want the story to be told."
Graham also expressed her sadness at how a historic and beloved landmark has been neglected for so long.
"My ultimate goal is to put a book on the shelf and to put a marker on the entrance to the road to Paradise Park," Graham said. "My goal is to show that Paradise Park existed."

Aaron Falzon, Aaron McLean take leading roles for St. Mark's School basketball
SOUTHBOROUGH — By the way Aaron Falzon
and Aaron McLean
interact, it would be impossible to tell that the hopes of one of the most successful preparatory school basketball programs in New England has been heaped on the shoulders of the sophomore forwards.
After the tandem led the Lions to a 62-45 season-opening win against Buckingham Browne & Nichols on Wednesday, they joked and hassled one another, as 16-year-olds do, appearing to be concerned with little more than who was going to win the next time they faced off in a video game back at their shared dorm room.
On the court, though, they've had to grow up quickly.
Falzon, a 6-foot-8 forward from Newton, and McLean, a 6-foot-6 forward from Watertown, are the only two St. Mark's players returning this season who saw significant time on the court during the team's run last year to the New England Prep Class AA championship.
Along with head coach Greg Snyder,
in his first year at the helm after serving as an assistant to predecessor
Dave Lubick
last season, they make up the foundation of a new-look program that hopes to be back among New England's elite very soon.
"I look at it as a challenge,'' said Snyder, who lives in Milford. "I look at it as a fun experience to grow with a group of young guys and get better over the next three years. When I first got the job, me and Falzon and McLean sat down to talk about it and I said, 'Listen, us core three guys are gonna build us back to where we just left off.'
"Are we gonna have some bumps? Yeah. Are we gonna have some games where maybe an older team hands it to us? Yeah. But what's important is how we respond, and that we make sure we grow from those experiences,'' Snyder said.
Falzon's size, and his ability to shoot from the outside combine to make him one of the most promising players in the class of 2015. Last month, he received his first Division 1 college scholarship offer, from Loyola University Maryland. He's also received interest from Providence College, Boston College, and Ohio State.
McLean is a versatile player for his size who continues to hone his skills. Quick enough to guard players on the perimeter and big enough to rebound with taller forwards, he has been looked at by a number of colleges, such as Davidson, Vermont, Siena, and Bucknell.
Both were role players off the bench for St. Mark's last season, when they backed up one of the most talent-laden senior classes in the country on a 27-2 squad.
Seven-footer Kaleb Tarczweski
is now a starter at the University of Arizona. Nik Stauskas
has already been named Big 10 Freshman of the Week twice while playing for the University of Michigan. Forward Eric Green
went to Holy Cross, and guard Eli Lubick
is playing for Hobart College. Jaymie Spears
just finished his freshman football season at Amherst College.
For Falzon, who emerged two years ago as a talented freshman at Newton North High, and McLean, who dominated for Hudson High's freshman team as an eighth-grader, sitting on the bench was a humbling experience.
"It was a new role because I was always used to having the ball in my hand and being able to shoot most of the time,'' Falzon said. "Even last year, I'd come in the game and I'd shoot the first two times I caught the ball — and then I'd come right out.''
Falzon eventually earned minutes by the end of last season for his abilities beyond the arc, while McLean was more of a defensive stopper.
They'll both be expected to play nearly every minute of every game this season, and the team's high-low offensive sets will revolve around them and sophomore point guard Marcos Echevarria
, who transferred from St. John's Prep.
"You can't replace those guys we had last year,'' McLean said. "There's a lot of pressure, but at the same time, we have nothing to lose. Not a lot of people are expecting us to do much this year. Our job is to go out and prove them wrong each game. We can't replace guys like Kaleb and Nik, but we can do our part for this program.''
Falzon and McLean have also added "captain'' to their list of new roles this season. Neither has ever captained a basketball team before, but they're learning together, and following the lead of fellow captain Zach Twitchell
, a senior guard from Shrewsbury.
"Knowing that they were going to be the cornerstones of this program for the next three years, I wanted to get them young and teach them how to be leaders,'' Snyder said.
"By the time they're juniors and seniors, I won't have to teach them how to lead anymore. It's already ingrained in them as far as what I want, what I expect and then we can just go out and execute.
"You don't make sophomores captains very often,'' he added, "but that speaks to the character of the kids.''
Snyder takes the reins of a program that was built into a powerhouse by Lubick. The Lions won five New England championships during his tenure, and haven't had a losing season since his first year, 1996.
With Falzon and McLean leading the way on the floor, and with a focus on improving, not necessarily winning, Snyder said, he believes St. Mark's will maintain its standing as one of the region's most respected programs.
"You wanna keep the name where it's at, and I think the way you keep the name where it's at is you play the right way,'' Snyder said. "You play hard. Anybody who knows anything about basketball can look at our roster and realize we're extremely young and it's a rebuilding process where we graduated five seniors . . .
There's gonna be some ups and downs this year. The main thing is we need to stay together, stay focused and continue to get better. Our goal this year is to get better every single day, whether that be in a practice or a game, so at the end of the year, we're the best team we can possibly be.''

Arm chairs and sofas are often what people have, and there is very good reason for that. They have worked well and there is no need to change, though they do change in style and comfort as time goes on. A good chair is worth its weight in gold for many reasons.
Some guests strongly prefer the arm chair to the sofa because it allows them to sit alone. Some like this, and others do not, but those who are not close friends or family often don't like to be too close to someone they don't know right away. Many gravitate towards the arm chair for that very reason, even if they don't really realize what they are doing. It is an unconscious and completely understandable need to have personal space. There are many times when family members need this personal space as well. That is why most family rooms have a sofa and a few chairs rather than just two sofas.
The best thing about arm chairs is that they are often more comfortable than they look. If you look at them in the store, you can never tell how they are going to feel until you have sat down to try it out for yourself. Some of the ones that look rather stiff and unforgiving actually end up being the best. They may have great support for the back while still leaving the sitter feeling as if they are sitting on a cloud of softness. You should never judge an arm chair on looks alone. Some that look comfy or stylish are not as well.
The price of arm chairs will vary, and the price usually has a lot to do with how they look, but more importantly it might reflect how comfortable they are to sit in. The sole purpose of the chair is to have somewhere to sit, and no one wants to sit on something that is hard on the body and is not relaxing. This is why children don't sit in arm chairs are school. If they were too comfortable they would not be paying attention in class. We'd have a nation of sleeping children if they got extremely comfortable chairs for school. However, when they get home, the comfort of a good chair might be just what they need to unwind.
The word Wooden Beach Chairs Design is also used in the broader sense of any two-dimensional figure such as a map, a graph, a pie chart, or a painting. In this wider sense, Wooden Beach Chairs Designs can also be rendered manually, such as by drawing, the art of painting, carving, rendered automatically by printing or computer graphics technology, or developed by a combination of methods, especially in a pseudo-photograph.
A still Wooden Beach Chairs Design is a single static Wooden Beach Chairs Design, as distinguished from a kinetic Wooden Beach Chairs Design (see below). This phrase is used in photography, visual media and the computer industry to emphasize that one is not talking about movies, or in very precise or pedantic technical writing such as a standard.
Wooden Beach Chairs Design graphics are visual elements often used to point readers and viewers to particular information. They are also used to supplement text in an effort to aid readers in their understanding of a particular concept or make the concept more clear or interesting. Popular magazines, usually contain graphic material in abundance to attract readers, unlike the majority of scholarly journals. In computing, they are used to create a graphical interface for the user; and graphics are one of the five key elements of multimedia technology.
A volatile Wooden Beach Chairs Design is one that exists only for a short period of time. This may be a reflection of an object by a mirror, a projection of a camera obscura, or a scene displayed on a cathode ray tube. A fixed Wooden Beach Chairs Design, also called a hard copy, is one that has been recorded on a material object, such as paper or textile by photography or any other digital process.
A mental Wooden Beach Chairs Design exists in an individual's mind, as something one remembers or imagines. The subject of an Wooden Beach Chairs Design need not be real; it may be an abstract concept, such as a graph, function, or "imaginary" entity. The development of synthetic acoustic technologies and the creation of sound art have led to a consideration of the possibilities of a sound-Wooden Beach Chairs Design made up of irreducible phonic substance beyond linguistic or musicological analysis.
Wooden Beach Chairs Design have a finite set of digital values, called picture elements or pixels. The digital image contains a fixed number of rows and columns of pixels. Pixels are the smallest individual element in an image, holding antiquated values that represent the brightness of a given color at any specific point.
Wooden Beach Chairs Design vector is the use of polygons to represent images in computer graphics. Vector graphics are based on vectors, which lead through locations called control points or nodes. Each of these points has a definite position on the x and y axes of the work plane and determines the direction of the path; further, each path may be assigned various attributes, including such values as stroke color, shape, curve, thickness, and fill.

Sheriff Chris Blair has admonished one of his senior commanders for a derogatory comment aimed at the County Commission, a Sheriff's Office spokesman said.
Sheriff Chris Blair has admonished one of his senior commanders for a derogatory comment aimed at the County Commission, a Sheriff's Office spokesman said.
Blair, according to Capt. Jimmy Pogue, "counseled" Maj. Don Maines for recently telling a citizens' group that the board members were "arrogant sons of (expletive)."
Maines made the remark during a meeting of the Sheriff's Office's Citizens Academy and Partnership program, a free 12-week course designed to educate the public about the agency's operations.
One of the meetings attendees alerted the board about the comment in an email on Sept. 5, saying he was "shocked" by Maines' behavior during the gathering at On Top of the World.
Pogue said in an email to the Star-Banner that Maines was updating the group as to how the commission had "arrogantly" denied Blair's request for budget transfers.
The board did so on Sept. 3, unanimously declining Blair's request to shift about $1.2 million in his budget to buy vehicles and other items.
"Speaking out of frustration, the passionate-speaking Maj. Maines had a lapse of judgment and uttered out his own personal opinions on the topic," Pogue said.
"Sheriff Blair has counseled Maj. Maines concerning the incident and Maj. Maines will address the issue with the Sheriff's Academy attendees during their next meeting."
Pogue declined to relate what Blair specifically told Maines about the incident or whether any additional discipline was handed down.
Pogue also declined to comment on Blair's response to Maines' remarks, or offer a statement from the sheriff about it.
Pogue also did not address whether Maines would apologize to the commissioners, all of whom received a copy of the email from the person who attended the meeting.
"As written in our previous response in reference to this issue, the Sheriff has counseled Maj. Maines concerning the statements made and the appropriate disciplinary action was taken," Pogue added in a subsequent statement.
"We pride ourselves as being a professional organization and taking swift action to ensure this status."
Commission Chairman Kathy Bryant said the comments were in "poor taste."
"For me personally, I think it was unprofessional, especially coming from senior staff. I know if one of our senior staff had made such a comment, it (the response) would have been quick and would have been a little more than counseling. But the sheriff has to handle his employees," Bryant said.
"I would've expected that he would have counseled Maj. Maines to apologize."
Bryant added, "We obviously disagree (about the budget) but I think we have a responsibility to handle our differences in an appropriate manner. We have tried to handle the sheriff in a professional manner and treated him with respect. That would be my hope for his staff as well."
The County Commission and Blair have been bickering over the budget since early June, when Blair submitted a 2014 spending plan that included a $17 million increase over the agency's current funding level.
Commissioners balked because the proposal meant jacking up property tax rates countywide, and because Blair, alone among the other county-level elected officials, had opted to not keep spending flat for next year, as the commission requested.
Blair challenged the board to find the cuts, and a staff committee led by Commissioner Stan McClain and Clerk of the Circuit Court David Ellspermann has been reviewing the Sheriff's Office's proposed budget to do that.
The findings are expected to be announced soon.
As for the recent budget transfers that apparently triggered Maines' comments, commission Chairwoman Kathy Bryant said recently that she will urge the board to reconsider the denial of about $498,000 of the funding after learning that state law mandates county commissions to approve a sheriff's request to redirect money set aside for contingencies, provided the sheriff asks for that in writing.
Maines' purported frustration over the budget has aired in other public venues.
Last week, Maines told local talk radio host Bob Rose that he and the sheriff would take a pay cut in order to save money — if the county commissioners would do likewise.
Maines' point was that the starting pay for Marion County deputies ranked near the bottom among Florida's 67 counties, and he argued that the County Commission should reduce its pay to reflect a similar ranking.

Chalkwork Adoption Fund DriveApril 01, 2009
If we hang out in the same online joints, and I think that we do, you probably also caught word of Jonathan Snook's adoption headache last month, and the fundraising campaign he has been running to get some help.
I donated when he first put up the page, but noticed that things have tapered off a little since then. They're getting much closer to the adoption date and he's still only a third of the way to his original goal.
So I decided to help more:
For the next two weeks, every dollar that comes in from any Chalkwork icon purchase will go to the Snook Adoption Fund. I think what Jon and Michelle are doing is great, and I hope by deciding to donate the full amount to their fund you might consider helping us get the word out too, be it by blog, tweet, Facebook, or anything else. I've got banners on the explanation page, or you can just link there.
(And I was almost going to leave this post till tomorrow owing to the annual Internet Annoyance Day, but let's just agree to overlook the date, okay?)
Update: Jon's got the details, but the adoption has unfortunately been cancelled, so the fund drive is now over.

Margaret Sampson is a local poet and lyricist.
Margaret Sampson is a local poet and lyricist.
1. Margaret, you've had a wide range of occupations, including writer, music lyricist and nurse. Has writing been your favorite area and how did you transition from one area to another?
I was not able to make a living as a writer. I had a creative writing scholarship to school and went into being an RN and never had a lack of materal. Writing poems is not fun to me, it's a gift I didn't ask for. Thinking is hard and sad.
Lyrics were fun because I had met the blues artists that needed "words" as they said. The subject matter was often out of my area of thought - bawdy, brawling, broken hearts, sex.
2. Can you tell us about having one of your poems included in an anthology which also included the poetry of the famous poet Gwendolyn Brooks?
Thrill of a life but just luck. A local group wrote a small poetry journal called Chicago Literati. I was in the first volume. I won a poetry contest at Northwestern University and second runner-up for a short story, Amazing Adventures. The journalism department was snooty and I was an RN with a psychology major.
3. You write a poem a day. What sort of events inspire your work and what have you been focusing on recently?
I started writing again in Leavenworth because of the Carroll House Museum Everhardt glass negative photo collection. It literally moved my soul. They published it in their historical society newsletter, then I could not, not write poetry.
I wrote one a day for six months, then stopped for a while as I was reporting too many rivers, too many Kansas stars, too many Border Wars, so much.
Now I've had to write when my heart is broken - on Sui Kei from Burma, being freed and elected to office, Syria, genocide and more. Life is full of material, too full, not always dark and deep. I send these to publishers.
4. Was the segue into song lyrics a natural extension of your love of writing poetry and what sort of lyrics were you most interested in exploring?
Lyrics are part of another form melded to music. Without an arranger or an artist, I don't exist.
Poetry is all mine and the last stand in individual expression.
There is no success in poetry, only do it if you can't help it.
5. What would be your best advice for a young person who hopes to be a successful poet?
Our culture doesn't support art. Move to Europe, get a grant, write screenplays, etc., use your poetry in other forms.
Dream a broader dream.
— Rimsie McConiga

Infrastructure Slideshow: Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure: Is Yours Fully Leveraged?
Despite growing corporate adoption of cloud computing, many organizations are not fully leveraging the cloud infrastructure they have implemented, according to a survey of 100 senior-level IT professionals. The survey was conducted in December 2010 by Electric Cloud, a provider of cloud development products, and Osterman Research, an IT research firm. The results show that slightly more than half of respondents using private or public cloud computing have cloud infrastructure resources that are rarely or never used. Many respondents report some or lots of excess capacity. Even so, companies will continue to increase spending on cloud computing, according to the survey. Among respondents that have implemented cloud computing, spending on cloud-based infrastructure averaged $23.31 per employee in 2010, and that amount is expected to increase in the next 12 months. "Cloud computing is increasingly an essential component of many organizations' computing resources, and it will become more important in the future," says Michael Osterman, founder of Osterman Research. "However, a variety of barriers need to be overcome for use of the cloud in software development environments if the cloud is to reach its full potential and provide a better, faster and less expensive environment in which to develop and test software."

Reddish egret
(Egretta rufescens)
Facts about this animal
The reddish egret is a medium-sized heron, with a body length of 76 cm and a body-weight of 500 g. cm. It is slender, and has a long bill and a long, slender neck. The plumage is characterized by lanceolate shaggy feathers on the neck. There are two colour phases: in the dark phase, the body is grey, head and neck are cinnamon to dull rufous. In the white phase, the plumage is entirely white. The iris is pale yellow, and the bill is flesh coloured with a blackish tip, and the legs are blackish.
Reddish egrets live in coastal areas, where are fairly solitary although they may form loose parties or associate with other herons, such as snowy egrets or little blue herons. They forage singly and congregate for roosting. They nest either on the ground, or in mangroves, 1-5 m above water level. A clutch consists of usually 3 rather pale sea-green coloured eggs.
Did you know?
that, during the late 1800s and early 1900s, this species was hunted extensively for its plumes, which were then used in women's hats? This persecution resulted in a severe population decline, and although the species it is now fully protected from hunting in most of its range, it is still recovering from the decimation of 100 years ago. The greatest threat to reddish egrets now is habitat degradation and destruction.

Weight loss surgery helps manage diabetes without medication
Bariatric weight loss surgery on obese patients with type 2 diabetes helped many to get their blood sugar to healthy levels and to no longer require any diabetes medicines, including insulin, three years after the procedure, according to data presented at a major medical meeting on Monday.
The surgery also helped patients reduce the need for high blood pressure and cholesterol medicines and led to quality of life improvements compared with those who received medical weight-loss therapy, researchers found.
The study called Stampede, which involved 150 obese patients who had poorly controlled type 2 diabetes for at least eight years, was conducted by Cleveland Clinic researchers.
It compared two types of weight loss surgery against weight loss attained by diet and exercise along with nutrition counseling and, for some, additional diabetes medicines that can help promote weight loss, such as Victoza from Novo Nordisk. All patients were already taking at least three diabetes drugs and at least three heart medicines.
More than a third - 37.5 percent - of patients who underwent gastric bypass surgery and a quarter of those who had a sleeve gastrectomy procedure achieved blood sugar levels below the American Diabetes Association target and no longer needed diabetes medicines, researchers said. That compared with just 5 percent of patients in the medical therapy group who got their A1c blood sugar levels down to 6 percent or less. ADA recommendations call for A1c levels of 7 or less.
At three years, only 5 to 10 percent of the surgery patients were still using insulin compared with 55 percent in the medical therapy group.
"Initially we thought diabetes was a disease you could not reverse or end. We do realize now that there may be a treatment that could end diabetes for some people and that's exciting," said Dr. Sangeeta Kashyap, one of the study's lead investigators.
Results of the study were presented at the American College of Cardiology scientific meeting in Washington and published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
An estimated one third of Americans are considered obese and obesity is the leading contributor to the growing type 2 diabetes epidemic.
While bariatric surgery is a drastic measure and not without potential complications, such as infections or blood clots, for some obese patients it may be worthwhile if it can stave off the toll of advanced diabetes that can include heart and kidney disease and vascular problems that may lead to amputations or blindness.
"The fact that the surgeries can reverse the path of physiology of the disease is pretty remarkable," said Kashyap, a Cleveland Clinic endocrinologist.
Should the findings lead to a surge in weight loss surgery, it could be a boon to companies that make products used in the procedures, such as Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon unit, a study sponsor, Stryker Corp, Intuitive Surgical Inc and Covidien, among others.
Data from the study was presented in 2012 showing the effect of the surgery on diabetes after one year. The latest data answers questions of whether the effect could be lasting.
"The results were durable and they were far better than the people in the medical arm," said Kashyap. "It's effect is persistent for three years, which we think is very encouraging."
On average, gastric bypass patients lost 24 percent of their body weight and sleeve gastrectomy led to a 21 percent weight reduction, about five or six times more weight than the medical group, and more than has been demonstrated by new weight loss drugs that were not used in the study. The medical therapy group on average lost about 12 pounds each (5.4 kg), researchers said.
Gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy are both methods that restrict the food capacity of the stomach. Bypass also involves connecting a new gastric pouch directly into the intestine, bypassing the stomach and part of the intestines.

Leading a Best Website Designing Company in Mumbai
Good Website Design attracts visitors, visitors increase conversion, conversion ensures your business growth in Khopoli. In short, the growth of your business depends upon the Website Designing as it plays the most important role in making or breaking your brand image. As we all know every great journey starts with a single step and building your own website is your first step to cover the journey of miles.
Best Website Developer
The Difference Between Web Designers and Web Developers
If you've ever worked in, on, with, or around the Internet, you've undoubtedly heard the terms "Web Designer" and "Web Developer". Oftentimes, the two phrases are used interchangeably by someone who is not familiar with the industry. Perhaps the concept is irrelevant to a client who just wants to get their website up and running. Or to a server administrator who has his concerns in the silicon, steel and software that power your website. And what about the nice lady over in Human Resources who blotches up the job posting during the hiring process? I mean — designer and developer — they're the same thing, right?
Let's face it, if you have the word "Web" in your euphemism, you've probably been hammered with questions from both sides of the playing field. Designers will hear things like "how can we add a database to the website?", while developers struggle to answer questions about layout, color selection, image placement, and font styles.
This is why many underfunded, poorly planned Web-based projects fail. Most of the blame can usually be attributed to the fact that not a lot of people actually understand what the difference is between a Web Designer and a Web Developer. This includes everything from skill sets to the actual role each position plays in the formation of a Web-based project.
Perhaps the most effective way to differentiate between the two positions is to establish a clear line that separates the roles and responsibilities of each position in the context of a Web-based project. This will, of course, vary from project to project and from person to person, but we can define a reasonable boundary which the average Web Designer and Web Developer will be comfortable with.
What Exactly is a Web Designer?
The best Web Designers are of the creative type. They have a knack for getting inside of their clients' heads and realizing their clients' vision. They take this vision and masterfully convert it into an aesthetically pleasing, artistic design that aims to impress millions of potential viewers. Some designers study typography, user interface design, and usability. Most include tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and DreamWeaver in their arsenal and frequent sites such as iStockPhoto, Kuler, and a long list of CSS galleries.
It is common, albeit arguable, that a designer's role should also include slicing images, writing (X)HTML, coding CSS, and drafting or editing copy. For the most part, you can think of a Web Designer as a creative expert.
What Exactly is a Web Developer?
Although Web Developers are sometimes referred to as programmers, their skills usually exceed those of a conventional software developer. Think of a Web Developer as more of a technical expert with programming skills.
What About People That Do Both?
As suggested earlier, it is actually quite common for Web Designers and Web Developers to be expected to take on tasks that are outside of their personal skill sets. In my experience, I would only consider a very small number of people that I've worked with to be proficient in both design and development. In most cases, you'll find a cocky developer that thinks his designs are the greatest thing that ever hit the Internet when, in reality, they're mediocre at best. It's far less common to find a designer who thinks he can code up an entire Web application.
So, Which One Should I Choose?
Which one you choose depends on what exactly you are trying to do, but in many cases your project will require skills from both. If you're looking to start a new website or to redesign your old one, you'll want to look for someone with design talent. If you're looking for some kind of database, E-Commerce solution, or integration with another application, you'll want to look for someone with strong development skills.

Which is the Top Website Designing Company in Khopoli Mumbai ?
However, there are certain things that a client needs to work on, for getting clarity of the exact requirements of web designing. This involves creation of a sitemap by the client. A sitemap is like a rough estimate of the pages and links that are to be included in the website. This can be better understood with the reference of a company's website, which includes different pages like- company's profile, products and services offered, contact us page etc. The client can create a brief of company's background including the pictures of company, its products etc. In order to have a better understanding of your preferences and for the website designer to know your taste, creating a list of sites that you like is of utmost importance. Professionalism- Another important factor to be considered while choosing a website designer is his professional attitude. He should be able to stand to his commitments and must deliver the project timely. Delay in work is not a good sign! • Affordability- The cost involved in the process of website designing should be in accordance with the standard and fair prices set for this task. It's a long term investment, so spend wisely! We hope the above information helps you in future projects.
It works as a mirror that reflects your personality to the customers and gives them a reason to get connected with your brand. However, just to save some penny, people take the risk and create their website at own and lack of professionalism may actually cost them the way higher than they even think. Some Website Designing Traps in which people get trapped and simple tips to avoid them. No Optimization Means, No Growth: Search Engine Optimization or SEO is crucial and people who think they don't need to invest their precious money into it are the one who are in the dicey situation.
Top Best Dynamic Website Designing Company
As if your website is not optimized for search engines that mean it has no presence in the eyes of Google and if anything not visible on Google's first page means there is no way to grow. So, you should start it right away in an order to save your brand value. So, now you know what are the major slip ups – don't you? Make your path and focus on avoiding them, so, you can attain the goal you want to.
Web Design And Development Services
Despite the fact that this writing strives to define the difference between Web Designers and Web Developers, the reality is that you're bound to find designers who know at least a little bit about development and developers who know at least a little bit about design.

Which is Best Website Developer in Khopoli Mumbai?
Although both are very different positions which provide entirely different skillsets, the fact of the matter is that most designers and developers have, or will at some point, become factotums — at least to a certain degree. Some may never bother to differentiate themselves as one or the other.
Perhaps the most important aspect of managing a Web-based project is being able to determine what skills a particular project requires, and who is the right person for the job. In this industry it is very clear that, despite a reasonable separation of roles and responsibilities, an individual's job title is not always a reflection of their personal expertise. It is, alas, more often an indication of their position in terms of demand and naivety.
