"My business depends upon WSI Integrated Web Marketing. It's been running the Internet Marketing for my attorney business for several years now and has grown my business exponentially. Everything they do for me -- Search Engine Optimization, Pay Per Click, Social Media, Content Marketing, etc. -- ALL deliver additional revenue for my firm.
I am confident that Mr. Ruppel is always watching my account. I call him often and he always knows exactly how my campaigns are performing at that moment or has the information at his fingertips. I don't worry that a junior associate is assigned to my account. He's on top of it so I don't have to worry about it.
I rely on WSI's advice for all my marketing, not just my digital marketing. It's always good to get an experienced outside opinion from someone 'without a horse in the race'. Its advice has always been right on.
Great website design meets the needs of its visitors and the goals of the business. Your website is your digital first impression. What message do you want visitors to take away?
Aesthetics are important, but they need to meet the needs of the business AND its visitors. You would expect a graphic design company or an interior designer to have a beautiful website. After all, you're buying their sense of style. How important is it to you that your accountant's website is "pretty". Is that important to you? Or is it more important that the company lets you know how it can manage your finances?
Design can get in the way of meeting your needs. If you are visiting a divorce attorney's website, you probably have a lot of questions and need answers quickly. If you can't find the information for which you are looking because the site is "too pretty" you'll go elsewhere and the design has failed.
A great website design must balance aesthetics with functionality.
In the case study below, we had to help visitors find the information for which they were looking in a package that was aesthetically pleasing, but functional.
RESULTS: 200% Improvement in Conversion Rate. Client has doubled office staff and moved offices.
When were first approached by this client, he was a sole practitioner operating in a highly competitive industry comprised of very large multi-provider "service factories"; mid-sized firms with a number of senior and junior associates; established smaller firms; and multi-practice firms, all of which were spending significant budgets in online marketing. It was immediately apparent that it would be a challenge to cut through the clutter of providers competing for the market in the client's geographic territory.
A search for divorce attorneys in the client's market returned more than 3 million results. That's a lot of competition!
When the client contacted WSI Integrated Web Marketing to take over its online marketing, we discovered that, while we were confident we could drive more traffic to the website, a website redesign was necessary to convert that traffic into leads and sales for the business. We advised the client that a website redesign would be a prerequisite to taking him on as a client for his digital marketing business.
While the site "looked OK", it did not represent our client nor his prospect base. The first thing that was glaringly apparent was that the background of the site showed a city skyline, while the client's office and prospect base was firmly located in suburbia.
Strong differentiators that would be necessary to separate the client from the glut of other divorce attorneys in the area.
A Unique Selling Proposition to set the business apart from its competitors.
Calls to Action to encourage conversions (calls and web forms).
We ran the client's site through our proprietary WSI WebScan tool to get an objective view of where the site stood in terms of design, functionality and compliance to current web design standards. The site scored an overall 3.5 (out of 10). This became our benchmark to beat.
After our latest redesign, the site scored 7.4 – more than a 100% improvement. Note: WSI WebScan runs multiple tests in over 25 different disciplines, some of which are not applicable for this site, so a perfect score of 10 is impossible.
A website has about 3-5 seconds to capture a visitor's attention before they hit the "Back" button and move on to the next site. Thus, it is critical that visitors can quickly scan a page and find the exact information for which they're searching.
To ensure we meet this goal, we use a tool that allows us to analyze how a visitor will scan a page design before we launch it "live". This ensures that we design a page so that visitors will see the most important elements that will lead to conversions for the client first.
Looking at the "Before" and "After" Eye-Tracking Studies below we can tell that visitors to the former site did not see any important conversion elements. What do you see below that's going to make you want to learn more about this company.
How is an image of a happy family against a city skyline is going to make a suburban couple looking for a divorce lawyer feel that they have come to the right place?
When we look at the same studies for our redesigned site (below), we see that a lot of important information is now capturing their attention.
RESULTS: How Did/Does the Site Perform?
Conversions (phone calls for a consultation) from visitors to the site more than doubled. In fact, combined with our other digital marketing efforts for this client, we have helped him grow from a single man operation to a multi-attorney firm that outgrew its offices once and is looking to expand again.

How to Make Oak Leaf Compost
By: Angela Ryczkowski
Martin Poole/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Compost made from leaves, or leaf mold, is prized as a mulch or soil amendment for its excellent water retention and nutrient-rich makeup. Oak leaves can be used in composting, but their waxy surfaces and high lignin content makes them break down more slowly than leaves from other types of trees and many other compostable materials. If you're making compost using oak leaves, be sure to account for their slow breakdown if you plan to use the final product of your composting in the garden.
Rake the oak leaves into strips or long piles a few inches high, picking out and discarding all branches, twigs and other nonleaf debris that you notice.
Run a lawnmower over the piled oak leaves one or more times until they are shredded well. The smaller the pieces, the faster the leaves will break down to become usable compost. If you do not want to shred the oak leaves, they'll still break down but will take longer to decompose. In that case, it may be preferable to create separate compost piles for the intact oak leaves and other compostable materials that will break down much faster.
Compost made from leaves, or leaf mold, is prized as a mulch or soil amendment for its excellent water retention and nutrient-rich makeup.
In that case, it may be preferable to create separate compost piles for the intact oak leaves and other compostable materials that will break down much faster.
Build a pile with alternating layers of the shredded oak leaves or other "brown" or high-carbon materials and high-nitrogen or "green" materials such as grass clippings, manure and table scraps. Make each layer 3 to 4 inches thick; water the pile after you add each layer so it will be uniformly moist. The ideal carbon to nitrogen ratio for a compost pile is 30 to 1. Leaves have a 60 to 1 ratio, grass clippings have a 20 to 1 ratio, sawdust or wood has a 600 to 1 ratio and table scraps have a 15 to 1 ratio. Build up the pile so it is at least 3 feet high and 3 feet wide in all directions.
Turn the pile after about four to seven days or when it begins to cool, and water it if the materials look dry. Use the compost when it is dark brown, crumbly and fluffy, with no recognizable original material and an earthy odor.

Turn the pile after about four to seven days or when it begins to cool, and water it if the materials look dry.
It is not necessary to shred the leaves to turn them into compost or blend the oak leaves with other materials in the compost pile. These techniques will simply expedite the process, turning the leaves into usable compost within months rather than years.
Rather than use a lawnmower or leaf vacuum with a shredder or a similar machine to shred leaves, you can rake the leaves into piles and encourage children to jump around in the pile vigorously until the leaves are broken up well. Another "alternative" shredding method involves spreading the oak leaves out in a thin layer over the driveway and leaving them for a few days so they are subjected to enough vehicular and foot traffic to break them up. Then sweep up the broken leaves and add them to the compost pile.

Q: Return correctly the info in a javascript function I want to use the date picker of jQuery UI but I don't know how to extract the info because I'm calling the datePickerRange() function but it's always returning object object.
Below is the function that I have created, maybe is useless, but my idea was take from here the days selected.
function datePickerRange(){

    var from = $("#from").datepicker({
      defaultDate: "+1w",
      changeMonth: true,
      numberOfMonths: 1
    })
    .on("change", function() {
      to.datepicker("option", "minDate", getDate(this));
    }),
    to = $("#to").datepicker({
      defaultDate: "+1w",
      changeMonth: true,
      numberOfMonths: 1
    })
    .on("change", function() {
      from.datepicker("option", "maxDate", getDate(this));
    });

    return from;
}

The getDate() function:
function getDate(element) {
    var dateFormat = "mm/dd/yy";
    var date;
    try {
      date = $.datepicker.parseDate(dateFormat, element.value);
    } catch (error) {
      date = null;
    }

    return date;
}

And here the code to take the info when user press a button.
$('.btn_graf').click(function() {
    if(id_btn == 'date_btn'){
        var from = datePickerRange();
        alert(from);
    }
});

Why returns object object? I think maybe I'm doing wrong the return from; because I have to add something more but I don't know how to do it correctly.
Can somebody help me? Thank you very much.

A: from is the jQuery object representing the #from element, it's not useful to alert it. If you want to get the dates that the user has selected, use the getDate method of the datepicker.
$('.btn_graf').click(function() {
    if(id_btn == 'date_btn'){
        var from = $("#from").datepicker("getDate");
        var to = $("#to").datepicker("getDate");
        alert(`From ${from} to ${to}`);
    }
});

A Blooming Success
In 1950 Ed Meyer, Jr. and Gayle Meyer purchased a one-room house and four acres of land on 47th Street in Moline, Illinois. The first items sold in the landscape business were wreaths and grave blankets at Christmas for the cemetery across the street from the house. The business was called Meyer's Flower Farm.
After renovating the house, the business was operated out of the kitchen and the showroom out of the garage. The year was 1951. Items sold were rose bushes, tulip bulbs and iris. This later blossomed into a small landscape and nursery business.
In 1974 a separate office and warehouse was built on another part of the ground. An additional 16 acres were acquired in the area on which to grow and display nursery stock. The name became Meyer's Tree Farm.
In the mid 1970's, Jack and Kurt Meyer graduated from the University of Illinois with majors in horticulture and entered the family business. Soon after a 140 acre farm in the Taylor Ridge area was purchased for the purpose of growing nursery stock for the growing landscape business.
In August of 1987, Ed Meyer married Janet Carlson. She has a passion for plants and was a wonderful salesperson. This made her a natural fit with the family business. In 1988 the Moline office expanded in 1988 to include six landscape designers and an irrigation manager. An additional farm in the Taylor Ridge area was acquired in 1992.
Continuing Growth
The Moline location was enlarged and remodeled in 1999 to create additional offices and conference rooms. The Garden Center were redesigned to create individual display areas for nursery stock and garden items. The name was changed to Meyer Landscape & Design Inc. The company continues to offer the community complete landscape design/installation, irrigation design/installation, lighting design/installation and cash and carry services for all homes, businesses and public grounds in the area.

The Dodos Tell "Fables"
Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags Fables, Frenchkiss Records, the dodos, time to die, Visiter on Thursday, July 16, 2009 by Tim Althaus
As my ex-commrade Ryan had mentioned in an earlier post, The Dodos will be coming out with a new album entitled Time To Die on September 15th. I was able to obtain a leak from Pitchfork of the track "Fables" which will be featured on the new album. I remember when Ryan told me about these guys' album Visiter, I took one listen and I was immediately hooked on their harmonies and acoustic sound. Pitchfork also said that The Dodos label, Frenchkiss Records, launched a new website so that fans could stream the new album Time To Die which you can go to here.

The Dodos – new album in September & 2009 tour dates w/ Ruby Suns
Posted in Audio, Concert Dates, Downloads, Music News with tags Concert Dates, download, live, mp3, New Album, ruby suns, the dodos, time to die, turf club on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 by Erik Burg
Good news people, two of the most enjoyable bands are touring together. Even better news, one of them is putting out a new album in the fall. The Dodos and The Ruby Suns will be touring together this fall, and on an extensive trip throughout the entire country the two groups won't stop in the midwest for too long, but do manage to squeeze in a show here in Minneapolis at the Turf Club on October 20th. I had the pleasure of seeing The Dodos perform live at last year's Pitchfork Music Festival and they absolutely blew me away, so I would usually say go on that recommendation alone, but I've been hooked on The Ruby Suns for about a year now as well. Their album Sea Lion is completely under appreciated and should have been heard by a lot more people, but too bad for all of you missing out I guess. It's shaping up to be one of the must see concerts of the fall so far, so get your tickets as soon as they go on sale. Here are a few MP3s to get acquainted with the bands if you haven't heard them yet:
MP3: The Dodos – "Fools"
MP3: The Ruby Suns – "Kenya Dig It?"
The Dodos have been working on a new studio album as well, slated to hit shelves September 15th. Time To Die is the follow up to the mesmerizing Visiter back in 2007. The album will feature a new member in the band as well, upping the number of members to three, a one Keaton Snyder will be featured on the vibraphone. As Meric Long recalls in an interview about the record and their recent touring, Snyder still has a bit to learn:
"He's a better musician than Logan and I combined. I don't even know what's going on with his music theory ideas half the time." On a similar note, Snyder-a classically-trained musician-is constantly learning what 'being in a band' entails. In fact, he didn't even know how to react when a chord was yanked during his Dodos debut. "After the show," says Long, "he was like, 'Yeah, I've never had to plug anything in before.' It was hilarious."
September 15th is the release date, October 20th is the tour date. So pencil them in, and if you didn't get enough of The Dodos on the Miller Chill commercial I'm sure you'll be hearing all about them come fall. Track listing below:
01 Small Deaths
02 Longform
03 Fables
04 The Strums

The Bain's
Houston & El Paso
The In-laws
At the beach ... Early 1980s
Garry Jackson
Her heroes: Elisabet Ney and Janis Joplin
With Doyle
John and Jo Ann were married first in Mexico, then had a ceremony in Houston. He was 19 and she was 21. Grandma Bain made the dress.
Noni McCarson, Jo Ann's college roommate at Sul Ross, was her maid of honor. Joe Neal, whom I am named after, was the best man. Noni died of a stroke, around 1983 or 1984, when she was about 44 or 45, just after Grandpa Bain died.
Joe Neal, the best man, died around 1972.
Jo Ann's parents: Florence and Joe Bain
Joe Custer Bain: Born 1910, Ft. Reno, OK, died Sept. 1983.
Florence Nightengale Gantenbein, Born 1910, Houston, TX, died February 28, 2004.
Joe's father was likely a decendant of one of the tribes located at Ft. Reno: Arapaho, Cheyenne, or Souix. Presbyterian missionaries, of Scottish decent, lived there as well (Bain).
Both of Florence's parents emigrated from Switzerland, near Grabs, on the border with Liechtenstein. They settled in Houston, which was mainly swampland at the time.
Photo taken at an auto tradeshow in Houston around 1955.
When Joe was three, his mother left his father at Ft. Reno, Oklahoma and moved to Houston, where she remarried and had a second son. named Lynn. The family dubbed him 'Baby Lynn,' a name that stayed with him until he died. Baby Lynn was a United States Marine when he was captured on Battan, and ended up in the infamous Death March of Bataan. He was 6'5" and weighed 116 lbs. when he returned. Joe tried to enlist but was rejected for having 'flat feet.'
Joe Bain was the first president of the machinist union in Houston, a Democratic precinct chairman, and owned the oldest autoparts shop in the city of Houston at the time of his death in 1983. As a teenager, he and his younger brother made money by bare-knuckles prize fighting longshoremen on the docks in Houston. That talent didn't go to waste. In the 1930s, as the first president of the machinist union in Houston, he negotiated contracts face-to-face with Howard Hughes.
Hughes liked Joe and asked him to help start a factory in Brazil, but my Joe declined. Later, he got fed up with the union and started his own business.
For about 50 years, Canal Auto was the only place in Houston to find autoparts on the weekend, and particularly on Sunday (afternoon). The back of his shop looked like a jungle, with rows and rows of old tailpipes. Body parts for a Studebaker and a Hudson were in the back corner.
In later years, the neighborhood around Canal Street got increasingly dangerous. The Houston Police Department issued Joe a 12-guage riot gun (basically a sawed-off shotgun) to use when he opend the shop in the morning. Once, after much pleading, he let me open the case and there it was, with HPD engraved on the receiver. The muzzle ended about a half-inch past the pump.

When a fraternity of jocks force a group of underdogs and computer "nerds" out of their college dormitory, in the cult classic 1984 film, Revenge of the Nerds, the "geeky" outcasts are forced to relocate, first to the gymnasium and then to a dilapidated house off campus, where they eventually plot their revenge. A lot has changed since that time, with such nerdy stereotypes giving way to computer-savvy techies who now launch multimillion dollar startups and help reinvent the digital world as we know it.
Just as geeks are now chic, much has changed in school facilities and student housing, with mass timber and wood-frame construction helping to reinvent and transform their design. In the past, cinder-block or other forms of concrete construction were used to satisfy educational institutions' needs for quick-turn construction. Today, however, schools are placing a premium on organic materials, sustainability and brighter, more flexible, open-layout interiors—all areas where wood construction thrives.
Designing and building with wood provides a solution to some of the common challenges that come with education building projects—from tight timelines and limited budgets, to stringent safety requirements and high standards for sustainability.
Modular design is also offering some great advantages for school design. For Trinity Western University in British Columbia, accommodating a fast-growing student population was a nice problem to have but an important one to solve. When the school needed to quickly expand its student housing for the upcoming school year, modular wood construction enabled a nine-month turnaround that would have been impossible to achieve using other construction methods.
Times have changed, for the better, including the design of your next school building.

The present analysis uses the data of confirmed incidence of dengue cases in the metropolitan region of Panama from 1999 to 2017 and climatic variables (air temperature, precipitation, and relative humidity) during the same period to determine if there exists a correlation between these variables. In addition, we compare the predictive performance of two regression models (SARIMA, SARIMAX) and a recurrent neural network model (RNN-LSTM) on the dengue incidence series. For this data from 1999–2014 was used for training and the three subsequent years of incidence 2015–2017 were used for prediction. The results show a correlation coefficient between the climatic variables and the incidence of dengue were low but statistical significant. The RMSE and MAPE obtained for the SARIMAX and RNN-LSTM models were 25.76, 108.44 and 26.16, 59.68, which suggest that any of these models can be used to predict new outbreaks. Although, it can be said that there is a limited role of climatic variables in the outputs the models. The value of this work is that it helps understand the behaviour of cases in a tropical setting as is the Metropolitan Region of Panama City, and provides the basis needed for a much needed early alert system for the region.

The New Wave Essay
Many of the New Wave filmmakers were anti-mainstream and this was visible in their films. For example, in Jules et Jim (Frani?? ois Truffaut, FR, 1962), Truffaut is clearly venting his feelings of resentment towards the government. With some the filmic techniques and themes present, Easy Rider is very similar to films like Jules et Jim. Location filming and natural light was favoured amongst the directors of the Nouvelle Vague. This gave the films their organic, casual look. In both day and night, Easy Rider utilises these elements in its journey scenes on the road.
The New Wave also introduced a number of innovative editing strategies. This transpires several times in Easy Rider when scenes are connected through a series of jump cuts. This transitional device indicates a voyage from one scene to the next, augmenting the theme of journey. Moreover, the French films recurrently violated Hollywood conventions and mainstream principles regarding film making. Easy Rider does this by disregarding the laws of classical editing – the 180i?? rule is ignored innumerably.
Furthermore, the film's representation of non-stereotypical female roles, such as the bohemian Lisa and Sarah, further aids the films anti-Hollywood perspective. The films of the Nouvelle Vague contained numerous moments of casual, and sometimes, anarchic humour. This can be located in Easy Rider whenever Jack Nicholson's character, the intoxicated George, takes a drink. He follows up his mouthful with an eccentric arm and head movement whilst emitting a loud indiscriminate noise. He completes the routine with a random word such as 'Indians', 'swamp' or 'firecracker'.
Another facet of the French New Wave was its sudden shifts in tone and unpredictable constituents. The final sequence of Easy Rider conveys this as the mood alters from being content and relaxed to shocking and distressing in a matter of moments. The deaths of Wyatt and Billy come as more of an astonishment as seconds earlier the audience are led to believe that the film will hold a happy ending. Whilst the film makers of the New Wave did not approve of Hollywood and its customs, they were appreciative of its auteurs (as this reinforced the idea of authorship) and consistently made reference to them within their productions.
In Easy Rider, respect is paid to the work of John Ford through the use of Monument Valley and other Western references. Additionally, the French aimed their films at young, intellectual audiences. Easy Rider reflects the collapse of the idealistic 60's that revolved around youth. Therefore, it was the youth of America that related to the film on its release. Countless educated remarks are made on the social situation within USA, intensifying its intellect. Furthermore, the Nouvelle Vague continually reminded the audience that they were watching a film.
Hopper achieves this with his drug trip sequence in New Orleans. A brilliant montage of weird camera angles, psychedelic bursts of light and inane murmurings successfully interpret an LSD experience, whilst recapping to the audience that it's a movie. The New Wave also implanted certain qualities into its characters. They were often young, marginalized anti-heroes – a perfect description of Wyatt and Billy. They are outlaws who do what they want and take orders from nobody. The characters of the Nouvelle Vague behaved spontaneously, insubordinate to society.
Wyatt and Billy do this throughout the film, such as when they "paraded without a permit". Similarly to their creators, the French characters were anti-authoritarian. The characters of Easy Rider adhere to this attitude as they frequently discuss how they are against the 'system'. Finally, the characters in the New Wave films had a tendency to act immorally. Wyatt and Billy gain their funding for their journey by drug dealing and they spend some of that money at a brothel – two things considered particularly debauched.
In all forms of art cinema, themes of freedom are often employed. Firstly, art films possess the freedom to be low budget and break rules. Easy Rider only cost $340, 000 to produce and I have already exemplified the films insurgent desires. The freedom of Wyatt and Billy is symbolised in the films Western imagery. To begin with, their names are references to the cowboys Wyatt Earp and Billy the Kid. Instead of horses, they ride through the vast landscapes on motorbikes – modern day steeds. This is intensified during a scene when they're repairing Wyatt's flat tyre.
Through the operation of cross-cutting, a visual parallel exists between Wyatt restoring his bike and a farmer fixing a horseshoe onto a horse. This juxtaposition is another link to the Western outlaws who were also known for their uninhibited way of life. Furthermore, when Wyatt notices indications of freedom within someone else, he shows great admiration towards them, further strengthening the importance of the theme. When they have dinner with the farmer's family, Wyatt comments: "You've got a nice place. It's not every man that can live off the land, you know.

Magic Lost now on Kickstarter

Post subject: Magic Lost now on Kickstarter
Shorah, gang. My name is Bryan, and I'm a would-be indie game developer. The game I'm working on is called Magic Lost. It's a point-and-click adventure. It's about a witch who uses magic spells and potions to battle wizards. But it's all based on story and puzzles. It's honestly not at all similar to Uru, or any of the Myst games. I couldn't make a Myst clone if I wanted to. But to say it's inspired by Myst is an understatement.
Playing the Myst games, reading the books, as a young high school student, it was hugely influential to me to read about "The Art". About creating worlds with a very specifically disciplined form of writing. It's probably the main reason I went into computer programming. That idea was so special to me.
Then I very nearly died. Got into a bad car wreck, broke my neck in 3 places. They had to scrape asphalt off of my brain. They couldn't even get it all, they just got as much as they could. (If you watch my pitch video, you'll notice I'm wearing a hat. This is to cover up damage from the wreck.) Video games became a big part of my cognitive and physical therapy. Which was fine with me, because I loved games already. But my appreciation of them deepened.
My love of games and fascination with The Art led me to pursue a career in game development. It took 4 years of college and 8 years of rejection to land my first game dev job. And 3 months after I started, the company closed its doors. That's when I decided to do something I loved. A point-and-click adventure. Came up with a concept with my artist friend Michaela, and for the past 2 years, we've been working on it as a spare time project.
Sorry, this is life-story long, and I normally don't go into this much detail. This is just a place where I feel like I'm among friends. And I know this crowd doesn't mind a bit of reading. This is shameless self-promotion. I hate talking about myself. Hate it with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. But it has to happen. I feel like my whole life has led up to this one thing. And if we don't get our funding, it'll probably never be finished. And that's ok, maybe it doesn't deserve to be finished. But I have to try. I need a mighty force, and you guys are a mighty force. I've seen what we were able to do for Rand and the team to make Obduction a reality. They absolutely earned and deserved that. I haven't earned and don't deserve anything. But I hope you guys will take a look at my project and see if you feel like being a part of it.

Your story is inspirational, Bryan and the game looks like it's going to be great.
You should post a copy of this thread on the Cyan forums, Creativity section.
Thanks for the kind words and the suggestion, Tai'lahr. I did just that.


Denver ABC focuses on the contribution to self-defense in the movements for liberation and self-determination that we are a part of. We have several ongoing projects that people can use and contribute to.
The ABCF Warchest is a collection of money distributed monthly among a select number of political prisoners and prisoners of the war held in the United States that are in need of economic assistance. Although Denver ABC is no longer a member organization of the Anarchist Black Cross Federation, we still support the ABCF's work and attempt to donate to the ABCF Warchest when we can.
Aside from contributing to ABCF's Warchest, Denver ABC also maintains our own Warchest with the funds raised from our annual Running Down The Walls 5k run! Currently our Warchest provides monthly stipends to Dr. Mutulu Shakur, Siddique Abdullah Hasan, and Christopher Monfort. We were formerly sending stipends to Sekou Kambui, but we're happy to again announce that he was released on June 30th, 2014! We intend to add another prisoner to our Warchest after next years Running Down The Walls!
The DABC Mutual Aid fund is a pool of money made available to members of social movements in need of emergency economic relief for any number of needs, including but not limited to rent or utility assistance, legal support, childcare, medical bills, or other extentuating circumstances.

Why Richard Anuszkiewicz Was a Major Force of Op Art
Art movements never die. They just nap until some new genius wakes them up again so they can pick up where their past masters left off. Or sometimes, as in the rare case of Op Art, thanks to one of its most enduring pioneers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, an art movement is allowed the privilege of moving forward uninterrupted, generation after generation. Op Art emerged in the 1960s, and it has never really gone away. Along with Bridget Riley, Anuszkiewicz was, until 2020, one of its living legends. A former pupil of Josef Albers at Yale, Anuszkiewicz was on the vanguard of a trend away from personal emotion and drama in art, and toward the investigation of objective formal relationships, and the effect those relationships have on our eyes and minds. What made Anuszkiewicz stand out among his contemporaries, and what kept him relevant long after most of them have quit, is not only the brilliance of his work, but the seriousness and humility with which it was made.
Discovering Color
One of the most endearing stories about Richard Anuszkiewicz is that of his first solo show in New York City. The story begins back in Ohio, where Anuszkiewicz earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at the Cleveland Institute of Art. In his fifth and final year at that school, he earned a fellowship to go study art in Europe. But after expressing to his advisor that he had no interest in Europe, he was encouraged instead to pursue graduate studies at either Cranbrook, a progressive art school outside of Detroit, or Yale. After learning that Josef Albers, the famous colorist with roots in the Bauhaus, was at Yale, Anuszkiewicz chose to go there. Regarding his choice, he later explained that he felt color was the biggest thing missing from his work.
Though Albers was, and still is, considered a genius, he was not a universally beloved teacher. Many found his lessons arbitrary, boring—even useless. But Albers did not care what his students thought. He believed in the inherent worth of understanding color relationships, so that is all he taught. If a student did not understand or show interest, it was all the same to Albers. But Anuszkiewicz happened to be that rare student who fully understood the importance of what Albers taught. He excelled in his classes. He even became convinced by Albers to abandon figuration, accepting that the only way to truly explore the power of color is to make it the central subject of the work. But there remained one central problem for Anuszkiewicz, and that is that under the weight of the powerful personality Albers wielded, it was nearly impossible for his students to develop an individual style.

Last Minute Success
After completing his Masters at Yale, Anuszkiewicz took the unusual step of returning to Ohio to earn an additional degree in education in case he ever wanted to teach. It was there, finally free from the influence of Albers, that he arrived at a style of his own. It was an exploration of how the relationships between colors and shapes could fool the eye and make the mind see things that are not there. He found this experience transcendent and contemplative, and its paradox poetic. After completing his education degree, Anuszkiewicz felt that for the first time he had a strong, idiosyncratic idea, and plenty of good examples of his work. So he moved to New York and began showing his work to gallerists. But despite many who thought the work intriguing, no gallerists wanted to take a chance on showing it. It was 1957. Abstract Expressionism was still the rage. Dealers just were not sure whether the flat, colorful, hard-edge works Anuszkiewicz was making would sell.
It took two years before Anuszkiewicz was finally signed by Karl Lunde, at The Contemporaries Gallery. Lunde offered him a solo show in March of 1960. That show ended up being fabulously well attended. Many critics and collectors buzzed happily about the work. But as all of the other dealers had predicted, nobody was buying. In fact, almost the entire show went by without a single sale until, on nearly its last day, one buyer finally walked in: Alfred F. Barr, Jr., who happened to be the Director of the Museum of Modern Art. Barr purchased a painting called Fluorescent Complement, and exhibited it later that year at MoMA with other recent acquisitions. Like clockwork other collectors began acquiring works by Anuszkiewicz, including some of the wealthiest collectors in the city, such as Nelson Rockefeller.

The MoMA Effect
The presence of Fluorescent Complement at MoMA signaled to the public that it was time for Abstract Expressionism to take a nap. The following year, the Whitney hosted Geometric Abstraction in America, which included an Anuszkiewicz painting, and then MoMA announced a major upcoming exhibition dedicated to "a primarily visual emphasis." When that major exhibition, which was called The Responsive Eye, finally occurred, it included the work of scores of artists and solidified the meaning of the term Op Art. And along with Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley, Anuszkiewicz emerged as one of the most important artists in the show.
It is said what separated Vasarely was his mastery of light and darkness, what separates Riley is her master of line, and what separated Anuszkiewicz was his mastery of color relationships. But there is something else about all three sets them apart—their seriousness. They all three possess intrinsic curiosity and dedication. And Anuszkiewicz was also special for his humility. While writers gush about his achievements, he makes comments like, "Something does happen when you put two colors together. It has an effect." He played down the brilliance and power of his work, simply referring back to the notion that colors and shapes change in different situations, and contemplating such changes can remind humans that we are never quite sure whether what we are looking at is real.

Alwaght- Afghanistan's capital Kabul was rocked by a deadly blast earlier this week. According to the media sources, the suicide attack on the voter registration center in Kabul killed at least 60 and injured 120 more.
Kabul's police chief Davoud Amin said that the victims went to the center to receive their identity cards for the ballot when a bomb ripped through the center in Dashte Barchi district.
Children were standing in line with their parents waiting to register when the bomb went off on Sunday morning. The dead include 21 women and five children.
ISIS terrorist group issued a short statement in which it claimed the responsibility for the carnage.
Despite the fact that the attack targeted a government center distributing voter registration papers, it should be taken into account that the targeted neighborhood is a region heavily populated by the Shiite Muslims, who have been targeted by ISIS for their religion in the past.
Since starting its operations in Afghanistan nearly two years ago, the terrorist group focused on the Shiite centers across the county comes with the aim of broadening the religious chasms in the war-ravaged state.
The attack on the registration center, opened this month for legislative elections which are due to take place in October, sent a clear message to the vote organizers in the county. Earlier, the Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan had warned that insecurity will pose the greatest challenge to its duty of organizing the process, asking the government of President Ashraf Ghani to do its best to provide the best possible security climate for the elections.
The upcoming elections are the first in the county in eight years and are the first since Ghani, along with the Abdullah Abdullah, the nation's chief executive, formed a national unity government in 2014. However, it seems that the elections will fall victim to security weakness, and the recent attack bears all the reasons for this claim.
With regard to the vital significance of the security for the successful organization of the October elections, will the government of President Ashraf show adequate will to secure the process and repel the terrorist plots?
How much is security provision important for Ghani's administration?
As a living human being needs blood, Afghanistan needs security and without it the nation against the terror risks, the government cannot peruse the simplest plans, let alone such a demanding process as the parliamentary elections.
Afghanistan can achieve security only through putting an end to the civil war and decisively fighting terrorism, which is growing fast across the country as ISIS expands its spheres of influence and recruits further fighters. But how serious the Afghan government is to terminate the domestic conflict and battle growing terrorism risk remains a question.
The president regularly maneuvers with the so-called efforts of the government to end the home struggle through negotiation with the armed groups, on top of them Taliban. However, some contradictions in the approach of the government to the peace process raise serious questions about its true will to end the decades-long conflict.
In the case of the home peace efforts, one of the key parties is Taliban militant group, which holds vast tracts of the country's territory. But Taliban were absent at least in the three peace talks rounds in Oman, and also recently in Uzbekistan despite the presence of the foreign actors as guarantors of the peace overtures.
Whereas the government regularly argues that it invites the Taliban to the dialogue sessions, Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman to the militant organization, denies that the government invitation was sent to them, even for Oman and Tashkent conferences. It appears that Kabul only reaches out to the smaller and less effective factions of Taliban to seal a peace deal with them. This means that the major a head of establishing security in the country is failure of peace talks.
But the deadlock is only a factor in a circle of factors distancing the county from enjoying peace. A larger part of security risks is posed by the freshly-rising terrorist groups like ISIS. The recent suicide bombing shows that ISIS is mobilizing its resources to disrupt the parliamentary elections.
The voter center attack, however, was not the first blast in the new year by the fundamentalist group. A month ago, an attack, also a suicide one, in the capital took lives of at least 40 people and injured 70. Before that in January, a suicide attack rocking a Shiite cultural center in Kabul killed at least 45. These assaults are aside from the clashes and advances of the group regularly reported about in various regions.
Despite ISIS expansion, news of the government security forces and the army's military actions against the extremist group hardly come out. The last anti-ISIS move of the Afghan armed forces was in December last year when the troops clashed with militant fighters in Darzab district in Jowzjan province.
Such postures exhibit Ghani's negligence of the seriousness of ISIS perils for the county. But no matter how much the president turns a blind eye, the ISIS hostility against the people and government proves that it is out there and moving ahead.
When last week the Shiite passengers in Ghor province were massacred, the government officials rushed to hold Taliban accountable for the incident. But shortly after, ISIS claimed it was behind the attack. Taliban denied involvement at the same time. The government officials, showing consistency with Ghani's mindset, are leaning towards highlighting the dangers of Taliban than those of ISIS as they attribute ISIS actions to Taliban.
The unity government's disregard of ISIS jeopardy has roots in the internal political competition and its hope to impair Taliban exploiting a rival organization like ISIS.
Since its formation in 2014, the government pledged to bring peace back to the country, fight corruption, absorb foreign aids, and cultivate economic growth in the county which is the world's largest refugee origin. But as of now, not only the economy saw no rejuvenation but also the security circumstances worsened compared to 2014.
According to the World Bank's figures, Afghanistan's economic growth in 2018 will not grow any better than the year before which was 2.2 percent. The World Bank's Country Director for Afghanistan Shubham Chaudhuri has said that if the security conditions do not deteriorate, the growth can touch the 3.2 percent. So, although the economy begins to slowly recover, the growth rate remains way below that 2003-2012 period which was near 10 percent, hence providing no prospects for considerable improvement in the security situation. This largely drives Kabul government to downplay ISIS hazards to repel the rivals' criticism as the elections draw close.
Still, from another perspective, ISIS is becoming a rival to Taliban in Afghanistan, managing over the past year to recruit members and attract resources. Therefore, Kabul finds interest in the vying of the two militant organizations that could erode the strength of Taliban whom the Afghan leaders regard as the main threat to the nation's stability.


I've got the body of the tank finally finished. I've been going between knitting this and doing house projects, so it took a bit longer than anticipated. Now I get to do the fun part...grafting on the lengthways pink and green stripes!
PS I'll be doing the Nike Run Hit Wonder on Sunday morning. I can't wait to see Devo!


My Friend Kim is Gettin' Married!! Her and her Bob have set the date, picked the gown and set the colors!! I'm helping her with her Invitations, place cards, favors and such... they selected the colors from our Idea Book and several stamp sets... here I played with some ideas and their desires.. What do you think??
BAM.. OK, so this MAY be my favorite... I think it captures her style, the dress (so stunning) with elegance and sparkle!
I really like the look of the Rhinestones on this card... it fits well into the embossed image on the Very Vanilla paper.. using my handles of my snipps - I pushed it into the embossed image to insure that it'll stay exactly where I want it - I dooo love being the boss of paper!!
Our Perfect Details Embossing Plate allows for this more 'formal', geometric pattern... the peaking of the Always Elegant swirl inside and Rhinestones adds a lil whimsey, doesn't it??
Jamie, you have come up with some great ideas for the invitations. I can hardly wait to see which card Kim and her Bob choose.
Aww Gloria - thanks for this and the comment... xoxo - will let you know!!

About Jonathan Wroot
Jonathan Wroot is a Lecturer and Academic Researcher based in the UK. He is constantly working to get his research published, especially within the areas of Asian and world cinema, film and media distribution and marketing, and new media developments. Alongside these pursuits, he enjoys reviewing films, and has done so as part of the Norwich Film Festival website and through his own blog. He also enjoys teaching many subjects concerning films – from cult cinema, to introductory film theory, audience research, and film history – which he has done at both the University of Worcester and the University of East Anglia. In addition to being awarded his PhD from UEA in 2014, Jonathan has also presented his research at several conferences across the UK.
Confessions (Japan, 2010)
Tetsuya Nakashima is a director who has long been associated with a colourful and stylish mode of Japanese filmmaking, where slapstick comedy and bizarre visuals are fused with dramatic stories and themes. This has been the case ever since Kamikaze Girls (2004), Memories of Matsuko (2006), and even in his foray into child-centred magical stories, Paco and The Magical Book (2008). It might seem bizarre that he would switch from this critically and commercially successful formula to a much more downbeat story in Confessions (2010). However, Nakashima had previously made black comedies, such as Natsu Jikan no Otonatachi (Happy-Go-Lucky) (1997) and Beautiful Sunday (1998), before including bright visuals and comedic supporting characters in his later productions. Confessions is similarly colourful, though it is much darker and more dramatic. While this is not a return to Nakashima's earlier black comedies, the story of Confessions perfectly fits his filmmaking style.
The film tells the story of Yuko Moriguchi (Takako Matsu), a teacher at a high school whose child was the victim of a tragic drowning. After finding out that the likely culprits are pupils in her class, and that they are protected by being classed as minors according to Japanese law, Yuko decides to inform her students of her suspicions. Added to this is the fact that her husband is HIV positive, and that his blood is in the milk drunk by the two students she suspects. This is only the beginning of her psychological mind games that are devised as vengeance against the suspects. Yuko calls the culprits Student A and Student B at first, but then they are identified as Shuya (Yukito Nishii) and Naoki (Kaoru Fujiwara). Their lives and stories before the drowning are revealed, as well as the consequences of Yuko's accusations following her resignation from the school.
Confessions was misleadingly marketed as a thriller in the style of Battle Royale (2000) on its release. While it does centre on the plight of students in high school, it has none of the outlandish violence found in the earlier film. Yuko's vengeance is more about ruining the pupils' lives in the long-term. Naoki's plight is revealed earlier and has a bloody ending. However, Shuya's is arguably darker and results in more emotionally devastation for him. His interactions with other students, a short-lived love interest, and Naoki, establish him as a cold and calculating sociopath. Yuko's vengeance ultimately cracks this tough exterior. While this summation may make the film seem predictable, the morals of Yuko's actions are always questioned as her efforts to enact justice are slowly revealed.
A one hour and forty minute guilt trip may sound like an incredibly depressing premise for a film, but Nakashima's direction saves this from becoming devastating or boring for the audience. Yuko's initial monologue is intercut with flashbacks, and cutaways to the actions of delinquent students who are skipping the class. The scenes are depicted with a blue hue, which heightens the mood in the classroom as Yuko's grim tale is told. It is also emphasised by haunting electric guitars from the songs of bands like Boris and Radiohead, which appear throughout the film. Silence would have stalled the film's pace very quickly. Nakashima has a keen ear as well as a keen eye, and he is determined to make the viewers experience the emotions of the central characters both visually and aurally. Thankfully, he succeeds.
Nakashima has decided to keep to his vibrant style in his subsequent feature, The World of Kanako (2014), which deals with many similar subjects. It will be interesting to see if he continues to apply his colourful eye to further dark tales, or if his career will take another sudden turn in a different direction. Nakashima's brighter films have won him acclaim from across the world, but so has Confessions, which won several international awards. He has shown how his style can be used to portray a variety of stories, and will hopefully continue to demonstrate this talent in his future work.

Parents dread having to run around town to several stores several weeks in a row to pick up more than 40 different school items for their children. Now they don't have to.
By California Business Journal staff.
The beginning of every school year starts with parents running and rushing around town trying to find, collect and purchase all the right items for each of their children's school supply list.
The task is daunting – not to mention aggravating.
Long lists, accompanied by longer lines with lots of children, makes this annual shopping spree less than pleasurable – and more of a hassle.
Enter My School's Kit, a new online service that enables parents, teachers and students to get all school supply shopping done easily and painlessly.
"We do all the hassling and haggling for you," says Meir Hecht, co-owner of My School's Kit, which serves schools nationally from New York to Chicago to California.
As a bonus, school's that sign up to My School's Kit receive a 10% commission of all kit orders.
With My School's Kit online store, parents order their children's supplies from anyplace — the comfort of their own home or office — without having to wait in long lines at stores.
For some parents, it takes more than three trips to stores, over the course of several weeks, to find all the school supplies for their children – sometimes nearly 40 different items for each child.
But now, thanks to Hecht and his partner, Meir Cohen, parents can kiss Staples, Walmart and Target goodbye – as well as all the long lines, the crowds and screaming kids.
"For the last few years we have been trying to come up with a way to get all the school supplies in one place and have the parents buy it from us," Lederman says.
Just as that process was about start all over again just a few weeks ago, parents exhaustedly fell back into their chairs, dreading the thought of having to run from store to store to gather school supplies all over again.
Then Hecht contacted the school and voila! Life has changed forever for Lederman and parents from Boston to Los Angeles – and everyplace in between.
What a contrast from the past.
And one of the best things about it is that Hecht's prices are less expensive than Staples, Target and Walmart.
Lederman's school kits for her three children just arrived the other day by mail.
The order process is ridiculously easy. Simply go to the website, choose a school and grade of your child, and the appropriate supply list will promptly appear. Checkout is simple, and shipping is free on all kits.
Can't find your school? No worries. Just let Hecht know and the company will promptly add it to the site.
How funny — I was searching for a school supply service just like this and found it through your article. Thanks so much! Boy, this company is going to be quite happy when I contact them for my order. It'll make their day. And you made my day!

Q: Convert Eigen::PermutationMatrix.indices() to array/vector I would like to to store the return of Eigen::PermutationMatrix's public method indices() as an array (for example to extract some value of interest later).
How should I convert that to an array (Eigen::Array or C++ STL vector) ?

Eigen::FullPivLU<Eigen::MatrixXf> lu(LU_A); //LU_A is of type  Eigen::MatrixXf
    Eigen::ArrayXXf lins;
    lins = lu.permutationP().indices().cast<int>().array(); //trows an error

Born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China in 1964, Jack Ma Yun is the co-founder and executive chairman of mighty Alibaba, China's leading e-commerce enterprise. He is also one of the richest not only in China but also in the world. No wonder his primary ideology is for an open and market-driven economy.
Recently, it was revealed that he has been a member of the Communist Party of China, or CPC. He must have been very busy organizing his schedule and priorities as having been fulfilling the member's duties while leading and managing the fast-growing Internet enterprise.
But it might have been one of the reasons the company has been growing without interfered by the ruling party, government or authorities, at least on the surface. If you look at what happened to Tencent, Alibaba's archrival, or Wanda Group, a multinational conglomerate, it is obviously essential to build and maintain a good relationship with the absolute ruler in China.

Disaster Day simulation sets example for interprofessional education at UTMB
Nov 20, 2017, 11:15 AM by Stephen Hadley
UTMB's Interprofessional Scholars Program recently hosted its first Disaster Day, a student-led, large-scale simulation aimed at preparing and educating health care professional students on responding to a crisis.
School of Nursing students Casey Schneider, Sophia Hashemi and Madison Lankford collaborated with other schools at UTMB to gather about 200 students and faculty volunteers for the Nov. 4 simulation at Moody Methodist Church in Galveston.
The goal of Disaster Day was to foster interprofessional teamwork and provide the opportunity for the next generation of health professionals to practice skills learned in the classroom and apply them in a simulation of a potentially catastrophic event they could face in the future, said Shelley Smith, UTMB director of Interprofessional Education and Practice. Smith said Disaster Day is an example of interprofessional education espoused in the new IPE2Practice Quality Enhancement Plan underway at UTMB.
In this instance, the simulation was a hydrofluoric acid release caused by the landfall of a tropical storm.
Student organizers of the event worked with the UTMB Hydrofluoric Acid Symposium and UTMB's Office of Interprofessional Education and Practice to review 40 case studies to make the simulation as realistic as possible.
As part of the event, third- and fourth-year medical and nursing students teamed up as volunteer first responders who "treated" patients affected by the acid release. The patients were student volunteers from all four UTMB schools.
During the simulation, there were four waves of patients with a large variety of diagnoses, such as mental illness, burns, abrasions, a woman in labor and more. As students worked together to treat the patients, faculty members provided instruction and assistance.
Afterward, responders discussed lessons learned during the simulation and faculty provided feedback on the students' performance.
"During this simulation, students learned about interprofessional communication, the triage system and how to effectively organize their team and prioritize to provide effective health care in the event of an emergency," Smith said. "The students hope to continue this simulation each year to foster the culture of interprofessionalism at UTMB."

Contactor Unit BC-608-A of RC-96A System Pipsqueak
Here is an excellent example of the WWII-era Contactor Unit BC-608-A, a component of the US Army Air Force's RC-96-A Contactor System intended to work with the the British RAF "Pipsqueak" system.
Pipsqueak was a simple radio navigation system used by the British during the early part of World War II. Pipsqueak used an aircraft's voice radio set to periodically send out a 1 kHz tone which was picked up by ground-based high-frequency direction finding (HFDF, "huff-duff") receivers. Using three HFDF measurements, observers could determine the location of friendly aircraft using triangulation. An excellent overview of the system can be read at the Duxford Radio Society website.
RC-96-A was designed for use in US Army Air Force aircraft to control a radio transmitter so that it will automatically transmit a predetermined type of signal on a predetermined carrier frequency for a period of approximately 14 seconds of each minute. The control circuit in the contactor unit consists of a cam-driven set of contacts. The system was used in early versions of US Army Air Corps/Air Force fighters such as the P-38, P-39, P-40, P-47, and P-51, typically with radio command sets SCR-274 and SCR-522.
According to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum website:
The "pipsqueak" identification unit contactors like this one were the solution before the advent of dedicated IFF transponders. They were essentially timers for communications radios that broadcast a fourteen second carrier wave every minute, which allowed the RDF stations to determine a fix (but also prevented the pilot transmitting during a period indicated by the arc on the dial). The BC-608 "Pipsqueak" was an American variant of a British unit developed in 1939 that entered production in January 1942. As the Chain Home system grew in capability and coverage, the need for the contactor disappeared and true IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) transponders took their place. Production was only about 500 units.
Once wound, the Contactor is ready to go. Flipping the toggle marked "Contactor" to "In" connects the aircraft radio to the contactor. Flipping the toggle marked "Clock" to "Run" starts the clock, which will continue to run until flipped to "Stop" and the clock hand reaches 12 o'clock position.
This example has been installed in an aircraft during its service life, as evidenced by the trace of zinc oxide paint near its screw mounts. The clock runs as it should, and all toggles operate as they should. Measures ~3.25 inches diameter and ~4 inches deep.


I'm so glad you're here. I'm Hannah Toldt, the photographer, visionary, heart + eyes behind 'Hannah Toldt Photography.' You found yourself here because you have an amazing story, whether you realize it yet or not. The chapter you are currently in may be one of love, family, change, waiting, or growth …. no matter where you're at, it's an irreplaceable story, and it's worth capturing.
On top of her genuine kindness and care for her clients, Hannah is an incredibly talented woman. Her creativity goes far beyond her camera, but Hannah has a way incorporating her many gifts within photography: inviting, artistic, flexible, professional and did I mention so good at what she does?! Her experience and creativity combine to not only produce amazing work, but made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Alex and I believed we were bringing her a serious challenge photographing us, especially when our wedding day turned out to be cloudy, rainy and mud-filled. When we received our photo album, tears filled my eyes as I looked through all the moments of our amazing day. She captured every detail and all the joy that surrounded that day remarkably. Of all the decisions involved in wedding planning, Alex and I agree hands down that the best one was having Hannah Toldt as our photographer! --Kezi L.
Hannah was our photographer for our wedding in January and words cannot express how wonderful it was to have her by our side on our special day! She is one of the sweetest people I have gotten to know and you know..you really need someone you can feel comfortable around if you want to get some really good pictures of yourself truly "in the moment" on your special day. She was so comforting and calming. The pictures that she took starting at the salon, to the church, to the actual service and the reception were incredible. So beautiful, so gorgeous, so intimate. Exactly what my husband and I were looking for. -- Katie K.
Hannah is an amazing photographer and person! Her style is unique, vintage-like, and timeless. Hannah captured both our family pictures as well as pictures for my husband and I to use to announce our adoption. When the day arrived for the picture session Hannah was accommodating as we moved the location. Hannah is outgoing and gets along easily with everyone, which makes the session more fun and relaxing. I really enjoyed how she mixed in casual pictures with all of the family and couple pictures. One of my favorite pictures is one she captured of me holding my new nephew, it's beautiful. Thank you Hannah for taking the time and patience to spend with us. Thank you for your creative style which brought life and love to our pictures. We look forward to having you capture more memories of our family as it grows! --Megan B.

A nearly monospecific stand of Lehmann lovegrass (Eragrostis lehmanniana Nees.) was grazed by cattle during two summer growing seasons to simulate short duration grazing. Grazing treatments were timed to coincide with preboot, boot to early inflorescence and hard seed phenological stages. During each treatment, grazing intensity on individual plants included heavy, moderate or light intensities. In 1990 maximum regrowth occurred when plants were grazed during boot to early inflorescence and at a light grazing intensity. In 1991, plants grazed during preboot or boot to early inflorescence and at a light or moderate intensity produced higher regrowth amounts than the other treatments. Plants grazed during boot to early inflorescence recovered significantly faster than plants grazed during preboot in 1990 and 1991. In 1990 lightly grazed plants recovered biomass faster than plants grazed at heavier intensities. In 1991 plants grazed at light and moderate grazing intensities recovered significantly faster than heavily grazed plants. Heavily grazed plants never produced enough regrowth to resemble moderately or lightly grazed plants within one growing season.
