Brexit Will Effect Your Business – Here's Everything You Need to Know
On Thursday 23 June, Britain voted out of the European Union winning by 52% to 48%. The referendum turnout was 71.8% with more than 30million people voting and it became the highest voter turnout in a UK-wide vote since the 1992 general election. The results were shocking leaving the whole world shaken up with most people not even sure what it meant but still shaken. But since it already happened, it's time we start dwelling on what next and what it means to the global business. The future is blurred with Davis Cameron stepping down as the Prime Minister; the ball will be in his successor's court to tackle all the Brexit quagmire and help calm the citizens' uncertainty.
The one thing that we are quite sure about is that business will not be as usual quite literally since Britain plays such a great role in the world economies. It's beyond doubt entrepreneurs will feel the impact regardless of the political side that they are on. It doesn't stop there since the UK is technically still in the EU until it ceases being a member and the process might take some time. The coming few years before everything settles are going to be hard on entrepreneurs marred with uncertainty, delayed deals or even slow-down of businesses. The UK's exit from its leading trade partner will beyond doubt spell change for entrepreneurs and the following are the things that you should worry about.
1.The sinking of the sterling pound
The most helpful tool for economic ball-gazers is the value of the sterling. Most of them predict that the value of the pound will significantly drop even up to 30%. Shortly after it emerged that Britain was leaving the EU, it dropped by 10% to the lowest it has ever been since 1985. The value of the pound has significantly decreased especially in the Asian countries up to almost 9% and 3% against the Japanese Yen. This is likely to mean that:
The imports will become more expensive resulting into hiked prices on the High Streets which will be such a blow for shoppers. In 2015, the UK imported more than $623 billion of services and goods which mainly came from the United States, Germany, France, the Netherlands and China. The most affected will be clothing and electronics which are majorly imported from overseas. The effect might not be felt immediately but later in the year. Also, supermarket prices are most likely to rise and motorists are also going to feel the pinch since the price of petrol and diesel will rise more quickly.
Holidaymakers
Foreign holidays will be more expensive since your pounds will now buy you fewer dollars or Euros. The cost of accommodation will, therefore, be higher compared to when the pound was still highly valued. On the other hand, Britain's domestic tourism industry will possibly experience a boost from the weaker pound with most people preferring to enjoy the holidays in the UK since it will be cheaper.
British expatriates
Most British expats have Ireland, France, and Spain as their destination of choice. It will be such a blow especially for those receiving the salaries or pensions in Sterling hence their purchasing power will drop in their resident countries.
The exporters may be winning on this since their products will be cheaper for the foreign market hence highly competitive, something that importers might not have the opportunity of enjoying since buying from outside will be more expensive.
2.Trade
The falling of the sterling pound might be beneficial too since the exports will be much cheaper and definitely get a boost. At the moment, the UK companies are enjoying the opportunity of trading with EU on quota free and tariff-free basis but after Brexit, that might not be the case. On the other hand, India might have easier trade with Britain but quite difficult with the rest of the European Union. India has the UK as its central hub for business to reach out to the rest of the world with almost 33% of the investments being in IT and telecom sectors. But with Brexit, India will have to re-strategize, and if the need arises, India will have to divert its investment to EU with a new set of regulations and also differential taxes.
3.Manufacturing and automobile Industries
Rolls-Royce, for instance, was quite skeptical about the UK leaving the EU and warned its employers that they would risk so much money planned for the testing plant and that will place their main rival the US at a competitive advantage. This is mostly because motor industries are interconnected throughout Europe and with Brexit, it will be a period of uncertainty, something most of these companies cannot afford.
Toyota, Vauxhall and BMW did back remaining in the EU, and so did Audi, Land Rover maker Tata and Nissan most of which worried Brexit would jeopardize their survival. The UK Automotive industry had a clear message that it was vital being in Europe since it was useful for securing jobs, growth, and investment. For a decade now, the UK Automotive has been thriving recording the highest manufacturing levels, new registrations, and car exports.
Tata Motors, the company that produces Jaguar Land Rover, will, for instance, lose about 1 billion pounds due to the split by the end of the decade. It is widely known that most of the cars produced in the UK are imported but with new tariffs possibly ensuing after the exit, these cars made in England would become less competitive.
4.Investment and savings
For savers, any rise in interest rates will be good news. Unfortunately, during the Brexit campaign, the Treasury argued that the UK shares would be less attractive to foreign investors and completely decline in value. Although still uncertain, in the long-term, the big exporters might benefit from the weakening pound making the value of their shares rise. The importers, on the other hand, might feel the shrinking of their profits. This analysis is based on the fact that shares rise with the company's profits.
5.The Impact on the Global Economy
All this trickles down to how the global economic plans will be shaken. Britain accounts for about 18% of the European Union GDP. With Brexit, the EU block could lose as much as 1/6 of its cumulative economic output. Brexit is a real test, and the world should use it as a case study and efficiently deal with the economic backlash.
Even with all the uncertainty, one thing that is very clear is both local and global businesses will face increased customs and different regulations. Businesspeople and the general public as a whole will no longer have all the freedom to travel and import into the UK through Europe. Maybe, time is ripe for any entrepreneur to start brainstorming on the strategies to counter the challenge that is underway and try look at the brighter side of things. Perhaps it's too early to tell what impact Brexit will have on business. It's likely going to take Britain several years to legally untangle itself from its connection with the European Union and only time will tell whether independence is bane or boon.

A Franchise Success Story

or copy the link
find this Thinking about starting a business, or buying a franchise, in the Houston area? If so, it's always great to hear a success story, and here is a recent one from one of our happy clients:
A FranNet Success Story
At FranNet, we love nothing more than sharing a wonderful success story from one of our valued clients. In our regular business dealings, we get to meet so many interesting people. Matching them up with a franchise opportunity that's suited just for them is what gives us the largest dose of satisfaction. This week, we're sharing the story of Will Vehrs. His story is a special one for us, because it so effectively showcases the synergy created when one arrives at the crossroads of chance and opportunity.
Will Vehrs is no stranger to the entrepreneurial business model. In fact, he coached it for over 17 years at the Virginia Business Information Center, counseling and training others on how to begin a small business of their own. And he was good at it—awfully good. His story of innovation and evolution would lead him to invest in his own franchise opportunity, as he is now the owner of an Express Employment Professionals franchise.
After achieving the rank of Captain in the US Army Reserves, Vehrs went on to work for Mobil Oil, handling marketing, operations and facilities management. He left only after the company reorganized and he accepted a leveraged severance package. From there, his skill at organization was truly actualized at his next stint, handling economic development for the Virginia Department of Business Assistance. In one of his proudest moments, he established the foundation of another sub-agency, the Virginia Business Information Center. This became a "one-stop shop" where businesses could find valuable information to assist in their continued growth. What he really did was consolidate a scattered process, bringing operations into one central business center with one phone and a toll-free number. That streamlined process Vehrs created blossomed into a center handling 20,000 calls per year.
Over time, Vehrs took note of all of the people he assisted in forming their own business and began to wonder where his future may fit in all of this. Through the newly established business center, he met FranNet consultant Heather Rosen. And this serendipitous meeting would set Vehrs on a path to achieving what he already had accomplished for so many others – starting his own business.
To Vehrs, franchising was the only way to go. He liked the fact that an established franchise was, in a way, a jumpstart on the path of small business ownership. And it didn't take long for Rosen to pinpoint just the right opportunity for Vehrs. A match developed in Express Employment Professionals, which provided not only a quick break-even business model, but solid corporate support and a focus on helping communities at the local level. In a way, Vehrs invested in a franchise where his previous experience was all but unmatched – helping other businesses.
Today, he has the satisfaction of helping others as he's always done. The only difference is that this business is all his own. "I wanted to find an opportunity that was a great fit for me," said Vehrs. "With Heather's help, I was able to focus my search into a smooth and seamless process. And I couldn't be happier with Express Employment. I've become part of the family."
Do you feel that you're ready to get started? If this article has inspired you to investigate a franchise opportunity, perhaps it's time for a free consultation with a qualified and experienced franchise consultant. As it turns out, FranNet is just the place! As a franchise consultant company with a 27-year track record of assisting individuals on their path to business ownership, make arrangements to speak with one of our consultants today.

Is Franchise Ownership Right for Me?
New Business Owner Cleaning Up, Fulfilling Dreams


Rejection of Truth is a sure loss. Life of this world is nothing but play and pastime -The abode of the Hereafter is the best for the pious.
31. "They indeed are losers who deny the meeting with Allah until, when the hour comes on them all of a sudden, they will say: 'Alas for us, for what we neglected in it!' And they shall bear their burdens on their backs; now beware, evil is that which they bear! "
Regret is for losing merits and interests, while remorse is for damages coming forth.1 However, in the Hereafter regret is useless. That is why sins will be burdens on the shoulder of the sinners. They feel their evil consequence like a heavy load on their back, especially when they see the scene of the Divine punishment.
"They indeed are losers who deny the meeting with Allah until, when the hour comes on them all of a sudden, they will say: 'Alas for us, for what we neglected in it!' And they shall bear their burdens on their back; now beware, evil is that which they bear!"
32. "And the life of the world is naught but play and pastime, and certainly the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who keep from evil; have you then no sense?"
If the life of this world does not be considered as a field for the coming world, it becomes a toy, and human beings will be busy, as children, with play things such as property, position and so on. Their status can be resembled to the scene of a theater where a person appears in the guise of a king, another one plays in the function of a servant, and the third one becomes a minister therein.
After some while, all the clothing and functions will be set aside and these persons actually find out that it has been only a play or a film wherein they had a role of playing.
A) The lifetime in this world is short as the length of the time of a game.
B) Similar to a game, which contains of pleasure and tiredness, the world is also a combination of sweetness and bitterness.
C) Some neglectful aimless persons take playing games as their businesses.
Anyhow, when the Creator of the world knows the negligence of man from the coming world and being busy with the present world as 'play and pastime', why do we not believe in it?
This world, without observing the next world, is dangerous; but if this world be used as a pass way, towards the next world, and also a preliminary field of planting the plants of goodness for the coming world, it can be a place of development.
It should be noted, of course, that the cause of development, and reaching the blesses in the Hereafter, is virtue.
"And the life of the world is naught but play and pastime, and certainly the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who keep from evil; have you then no sense?"
33. "Indeed We know that what they say surely grieves you. Yet verily it is not you (that) they belie, but the unjust deny the Signs of Allah."
It is cited in the occasion of revelation of this verse that the enemies of the Prophet (S) knew him as truthful and trustworthy person. But they said if they confirmed him, their tribe and their rank would be despised. Or, they said that Muhammad (S) was truthful, but he imagined that he was revealed to. They rejected the divine verses in such manner.
Rejecting the Prophet (S) is the same as rejecting Allah (S.w.T.). It is similar to the allegiance with the Prophet (S) that is allegiance with Allah.
The opponents of the Prophet (S) are adversaries of Allah. Thus, we should not be sorry.
The fruit of rejecting the Divine verses and the saints of Allah is being unjust both to themselves that they do not believe in the truth, and to the Messenger of Allah that they grieve him (S), and to Islam, and to generations.
"Indeed We know that what they say surely grieves you. Yet verily it is not you (that) they belie, but the unjust deny the Signs of Allah."
34. "Messengers indeed have been denied before you, but they were patient on being denied and hurt, until Our help came unto them; and there is none to change the words of Allah, and certainly there has come to you some information about the messengers."
The former prophets and their patience should be our models. The destruction of old nations such as: the people of Hud, the people of Salih, the people of Lut and some others, who belied the truth, should be taken an example of Allah's way of treatment is to send messengers, and people are free to accept them or not.
Then, He punishes the disbelievers and assists the messengers in their way of invitation.
"Messengers indeed have been denied before you, but they were patient on being denied and hurt, until Our help came unto them....."
It is certain that the opponents neglect no effort against the Truth. They belie it and hurt, but Truth is always victorious.7 Moreover, Allah's way of treatment is not changeable.
"... and there is none to change the words of Allah, and certainly there has come to you some information about the messengers."
"Most surely they shall be the assisted ones." (Surah As-Saffat No.37 verse 172).
"And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones." (Surah As-Saffat No.37. verse 173).
35. "And if their turning away is hard upon you, then if you can seek a hole into the earth, or a ladder to heaven, so that you bring them a sign (they will not believe); and had Allah willed, He would have gathered them all to the guidance; so be not you of the ignorants."
"We will by no means believe in you until you cause a fountain to gush forth from the earth for us." (Surah Al-Isra, No.17, verse 90).
Haply, the verse points to the kind of their inappropriate requests that even if he seeks a hole in the earth or climbs up a ladder unto the sky, confronting himself with difficulties, it will be useless in this regard.
There is no deficiency in the Prophet's invitation, but these people are arrogant and obstinate. So, he ought not sympathize with them so much for guiding them.
"And if their turning away is hard upon you, then if you can seek a hole into the earth, or a ladder to heaven, so that you bring them a sign (they will not believe)....."
"... and had Allah willed, He would have gathered them all to the guidance....."
But it is clear that such a forceful faith is vain. The creation of humankind is for the purpose of a development that is based on authority and free-will. It is only in the situation of free-will that the value of 'believers' comparing with 'disbelievers', and 'good doers' compared with 'evil-doers' is recognized.
"... so be not you of the ignorants."
This holy concluding phrase means that the Prophet (S) should not be restless so that he might lose patience and perseverance. He ought not to be worried about them more than the required measure because of their infidelity and polytheism, but he ought to know that the right way is the same one that he paves.
No doubt the Prophet (S) was aware of these facts, but the Lord, as a remembrance and in order to comfort His Prophet (S), tells him these matters.
36. "Only those accept who hearken, and (as for) the dead, Allah will raise them up; then unto Him they will be returned."
"Surely you do not make the dead to hear, and you do not make the deaf to hear the call when they go back retreating."
Human beings are free to choose their own path, whether it is right or wrong.
Hearing the truth and accepting it, is a sign of the existence of the spiritual life and alertness in a person. The person, who is in lack of spiritual life and does not accept the truth, is dead, because the animal life, which is usually rendered into eating and drinking to survive, is something that all living creatures possess, too.
"Only those accept who hearken, and (as for) the dead, Allah will raise them up; then unto Him they will be returned."
37. "And they say: While has not a Sign been sent down to him (Muhammad) from his Lord?' Say: 'Verily Allah is able to send down a Sign, but most of them do not know'."
Upon the occasion of revelation of the verse, it has been cited that some of the chiefs of the Quraysh, seeking for excuses, told the Prophet (S) that merely the Qur'an was not enough to work as his miracle.
The Prophet (S) who reminds people of the miracles of the former prophets, of course, can surely bring the like of those miracles himself; otherwise he might not remind people of them so that they ask him for something similar to them.
Moreover, as the Islamic literature, that he recorded by Shi'ites and Sunnites scholars denote, the Messenger of Allah had some other miracles besides the Qur'an, too.
"And they say: 'Why has not a Sign been sent down to him (Muhammad) from his Lord?' Say: Verily Allah is able to send down a Sign,'..."
"And even if We had sent down to them the angels and the dead had spoken to them and We had brought together all things before them, they would not have believed…" (Surah Al-'An'am No.6, verse 111).
"…but most of them do not know'."
38. "And there is no creature (that walks) on the earth nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but they are communities the like of you, We have not neglected anything in the Book, then unto their Lord shall they (all) be mustered."
"And there is no creature (that walks) on the earth nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but they are communities the like of you.…"
Thus, similar to human beings, each kind of animals and birds are a community by themselves. That is, they also have knowledge, awareness, and perception in their own conditions, and they know the Lord Whom they glorify and sanctify as much as they are able to, although the standard of their perception is lower than that of human beings.
"….We have not neglected anything in the Book...."
".... then unto their Lord shall they (all) be mustered."
Hence, the verse warns the polytheists that the Lord, Who has created all groups of animals and supplies their necessities and who watches whatever they do, has appointed a resurrection for them entirely. How is it possible that He does not appoint a resurrection and a gathering for you? And, as some pagans say, there would not exist anything beyond this life and death?
No doubt that the first condition of reckoning and rewards is the existence of intellect and awareness and, thereafter, duty and responsibility come forth.
The adherents of this idea believe that the life of many animals continues with an interesting and surprising regularity that denotes to their high level of perception and awareness. There are a few persons who have heard no words about ants, bees, their formicaries, their beehives and their wonderful order and their surprising system.
It is certain that we cannot simply count it as a phenomenon resulted from instinct. Natural disposition is usually the source of monotonous and constant activities. But the deeds that are not predictable in some specific conditions, done as reactions, are more similar to perception and awareness than instinct.
For example, when a lamb, which has never seen a wolf in its life, sees that savage animal for the first time, it recognizes well that this enemy is dangerous. So, the lamb tries to defend and to save itself from the danger by any means that it can find.
Apart from all of these, there are recited some meanings in a lot of verses of the Qur'an which can be counted as a considerable reason for the existence of perception and awareness in some animals.
For instance, the story of ants and their escape from the army of Solomon; the story of the hoopoe when it came into the zone of Sheba and brought some exciting news for Solomon, are a few evidences to this claim.
It is narrated from Abu thar who says: "We were at the presence of the Prophet (S) where, in front of us, two goats bunted each other.
'No, we do not know'.
'But Allah knows why, and He will judge between them soon '."
39. "And those who belied Our Signs are deaf and dumb, in darkness; whomever Allah pleases He leads astray, and whomever He pleases, He sets him on a straight path."
It is true that both guidance and misguidance are in knowledge and power of Allah, but the will of man and the abilities existed in him are effective, too. Besides, the Will of Allah is also based on Wisdom. Holy struggle on the way of Allah is a cause for the Divine guidance, while being unjust toward people is a cause for misguidance.
Therefore, infidelity and hostility are some darkness that causes separation from salvation.
"And those who belied Our Signs are deaf and dumb, in darkness; whomever Allah pleases He leads astray, and whomever He pleases, He sets him on a straight path."
However, paving the straight path needs a hearing ear, an impartial tongue and a transparent inward.
40. "Say: "Have you considered if Allah's torment comes to you (in the world) or the Hour (of Resurrection) comes to you, will you supplicate anyone other than Allah, if you are truthful?"
Once more, the Qur'an addresses the polytheists and, in front of them, reasons Divine Unity and monotheism in another way. It reminds them the extraordinary difficult and grievous moments of life, and seeks assistance from their conscience. It asks them whether they consider any shelter save Allah when they forget everything during these moments.
Concerning such people, the verse commands the Prophet (S) to tell them to answer truly that if the punishment of Allah befalls them, or the Hereafter be set up with all its horrors, excitements and terrible events, do they have anyone except Allah to remove their calamities?
"Say: "Have you considered if Allah's torment comes to you (in the world) or the Hour (of Resurrection) comes to you, will you supplicate anyone other than Allah, if you are truthful?"
The essence of the meaning of this verse is perceivable not only for pagans but also for every one when calamities and painful events come forth unto them.
In ordinary cases, and in minor events, men may eek protection from others than Allah. But, when the event is extraordinarily violent, men neglect everything. At the very circumstance they feel a kind of hope for rescue in the depth of their heart, which originates from a mysterious unknown source of power. This is the very attention to Allah and the reality of Unity.
41. "Rather upon Him you will call, and He removes that for which you supplicated Him, if He pleases, and you forget what you have associated (with Him)."
"Rather upon Him you will call, and He removes that for which you supplicated Him, if He pleases, and you forget what you have associated (with Him)."
7. We recite in some other verses of the Qur'an: "…I will most certainly prevail, I and My apostles ;...(Surah Al-Mujadilah, No, 58, verse 21), "…and helping the believers is ever incumbent on Us," (Surah Ar-Rum, No, 30, verse 47), "Most surely We help Our apostles,"… (Surah Al-Mu'min, No, 40, verse 51), "…and surely Allah will help him who helps His cause…" (Surah Al-Hajj, No.22, verse 40).
9. In the Second World War even Khrushof and Stalin, the leaders of Russia, invoked churches and priests asked for victory.

These questions and the answers to them are intended as general guidance to the most common questions about discipline matters. The responses are not legal or practice advice and are not intended as such. For more detailed information on the subject, readers should review the relevant statutes, regulations and standards of practice and consult with legal counsel.
Who is involved in a disciplinary proceeding?
What is the purpose of a pre-hearing conference?
When can an ND whose registration was revoked or suspended apply for reinstatement?
It is considered professional misconduct when a Member breaches the expectations that guide NDs in Ontario.
Sexual abuse of a patient.
The parties include the College (represented by its legal counsel, the prosecutor) and the naturopathic doctor (generally represented by his or her own lawyer, the defence counsel).
The College is required to provide the ND and his or her lawyer with all relevant information obtained during the investigation. That includes written and documentary evidence to be introduced, the identity of any expert witnesses, summaries of the evidence they will give, and the identity of any other witnesses who will appear.
The disciplinary process can include a pre-hearing conference (where a settlement is possible) and a formal hearing. The College must disclose any information to be used in the hearing at least 10 days before.
After a case has been referred to the Discipline Committee, a first step may be to hold a pre-hearing conference. Both parties must agree to participate in this process. Through informal and unrecorded discussions, an attempt is made to determine if a settlement can be reached.
Any proposed settlement must have the support of the member of the Discipline Committee acting as chair during this conference. The agreement is then presented to a panel of the Discipline Committee, often in the form of an agreed statement of fact.
The panel considers whether the terms of the settlement will protect the public. The panel is not bound by the recommendation, even though it is made jointly by the counsel for the College and the ND. Not all cases go to or are resolved at the pre-hearing conference.
A hearing is a formal process, much like that of a court of law. The discipline process is transparent, so hearings are open to the public, with a few exceptions for public security or safety.
A panel of 3-5 members of the Discipline Committee (including at least two public members of the College Council) conducts the hearing. Generally, panels at this College include three NDs and two public members.
determine the penalty when there is a finding of guilt or incompetence.
To start, the prosecutor presents evidence to establish the College's case. The prosecutor will call witnesses who have relevant information about the allegations, and ask each a series of questions. This is known as examination-in-chief.
Once the prosecutor is finished, the defence counsel will question the witness, known as cross-examination. These questions aim to clarify information, test the witness' memory, and see if there are any contradictions in the witness' testimony.
Once the prosecutor has completed presenting the College's case, defence counsel has the opportunity to present the case on behalf of the ND. The defence counsel will call witnesses in defence of the ND. The ND will likely testify on his or her own behalf. At this stage, the defence counsel does the examination-in-chief, while the prosecutor has an opportunity to cross-examine.
At the end of the process, the panel will issue its written decision and the reasons for the decision. The registrant and/or the College may appeal the decision to the Divisional Court of Ontario.
The College is required to publish a summary of every discipline decision, and the reasons for it, in its annual report. Findings are also published on the College's website, and made available on the Public Register, indefinitely. If the ND is found not guilty, his or her name will not be publicly available, unless the ND requests publication.
In certain situations, a ND may ask the College to remove this information from the Public Register and the College's website. A panel of the Discipline Committee can consider these requests, but only if the penalty in a professional misconduct case was a fine or a reprimand, and more than six years has passed since the finding was made.
In most cases, one year after the Certificate of Registration was revoked or suspended, and then six months later if the application for reinstatement was unsuccessful.
If the revocation was ordered because of sexual abuse, the ND must wait five years to apply for reinstatement.


George "Sparky" Lyle spent parts of four NHL seasons with the Detroit Red Wings and Hartford Whalers. He was a productive scorer whose most impressive numbers came in college and the WHA.
Born in North Vancouver, BC, Lyle was selected 123rd overall in 1973 after spending a year with the junior Calumet Miners of the USHL. He then spent three years at Michigan Tech and was placed on the WCHA first all-star team after scoring 47 goal in 43 games during the 1975-76 schedule.
Lyle opted to begin his pro career with the WHA's New England Whalers in 1976-77. After scoring 39 goals for the club he was presented the Lou Kaplan Trophy as the league's top rookie. He continued to be a solid worker for another two years before the Red Wings prior to the 1979 Expansion Draft reclaimed him. He split the next two seasons between the NHL and the AHL's Adirondack Red Wings. In 1981 he scored 18 points in as many playoff games when he helped the Wings capture the Calder Cup.
After a slow start in 1981-82, Lyle was placed on waivers and picked up by Hartford. He averaged a point per game in 14 contests for his new club before he was shelved by injuries. The veteran scorer retired in 1983 after playing 16 games for Hartford and spending the rest of his time with the Binghamton Whalers of the AHL.
Lou Kaplan Trophy (Rookie of the Year - WHA) (1977) Signed as a free agent by New England (WHA), July, 1976. Reclaimed by Detroit from Hartford prior to Expansion Draft, June 9, 1979. Claimed on waivers by Hartford from Detroit, November 13, 1981.


CropWatch agroclimatic indicators (CWAIs) are a monitoring tool developed by the CropWatch global crop monitoring system in the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS; www.cropwatch.com.cn , Wu et al Int J Digital Earth 7(2):113-137, 2014, Wu et al Remote Sens 7:3907-3933, 2015). Contrary to most other environmental and agroclimatic indicators, they are "agronomic value-added", i.e. they are spatial values averaged over agricultural areas only and they include a weighting that enhances the contribution of the areas with the largest production potential. CWAIs can be computed for any time interval (starting from dekads) and yield one synthetic value per variable over a specific area and time interval, for instance a national annual value. Therefore, they are very compatible with socio-economic and other variables that are usually reported at regular time intervals over administrative units, such as national environmental or agricultural statistics. Two of the CWAIs are satellite-based (RAIN and Photosynthetically Active radiation, PAR) while the third is ground based (TEMP, air temperature); capitals are used when specifically referring to CWAIs rather than the climate variables in general. The paper first provides an overview of some common agroclimatic indicators, describing their procedural, systemic and normative features in subsequent sections, following the terminology of Binder et al Environ Impact Assess Rev 30:71–81 (2010). The discussion focuses on the systemic and normative aspects: the CWAIs are assessed in terms of their coherent description of the agroclimatic crop environment, at different spatial scales (systemic). The final section shows that the CWAIs retain key statistical properties of the underlying climate variables and that they can be compared to a reference value and used as monitoring and early warning variables (normative).


Whatever you do, don't rush into choosing a domain name for your travel blog. You'll build your whole travel blog brand up around this so it needs at least 24 hours of thought, just so you can sleep on it. The best way to start researching an awesome travel blog domain name is to have a look around at others and see which ones you think work best. After you've read the tips and advice in this guide to choosing your travel blog domain name, obviously.
If you've already settled on your travel blog domain name I think you'll still find this article interesting. If not, scroll down to after the Dr Seuss quote if you want to know what to do next.
The reasoning behind my domain name was that I wanted to express what I did and also to have my name in there. I seem to remember reading somewhere at the time that it would be better for my SEO if I had 'travels' in it. This has led to me having a really long URL, not something I'd recommend. If I could go back I wouldn't bother with the 'travels' part, the 'flipflop' already suggests that. But in hindsight it's not too bad a URL.
People often ask me where 'flip flop' came from – it's because of my surname, Philpott. At school some of my friends would call me 'flip flop', which has worked out pretty well for my future career.
I really like being 'VickyFlipFlop'. At conferences and travel events people will shout 'Flippers' or 'FlipFlop' as it's an easy name for people to remember. Some people I've met have been upset that I don't wear flip flops 24/7 though, I guess it would be good for branding if I did, but it's too difficult in chilly England. Not dedicated enough, obviously.
Choosing a memorable domain name is a good idea. I won't pick on my fellow bloggers but for some of them I can never remember if there's a prefix like 'this' or 'the' and others I can't remember where the dashes go – you need to make it as easy as possible to be known and shared. Also, make it easy to spell! Some of the most memorable names I think are ones with the travel bloggers name and then just one word, like adventurouskate, runawayjane, aliciaexplores and wanderingearl. If you're out and about and you want to tell people about your blog they're much more likely to remember these names than some of the others in the blogosphere.
What will your main travel blogging topic be?
Will it just be you writing, or will you open it to guest posters?
Make sure your final travel blog domain name suits the answers to these questions.
The shorter your domain name, the better. I don't mean really short, like an acronym, but just don't have anything over 20 characters. It's just too long for your social media pages and for your business cards too. It's also annoying for people to type. When it comes to having posts on your site the full URLs will be so long they won't fit in the search engine results pages (SERPs), so try to keep your original blog name as short and simple as possible.
Having a short domain name is also good when it comes to claiming your social media accounts. I had to shorten mine to @VickyFlipFlop, which isn't too much of a problem, but I bet some people think that's my URL too, without the 'travels'. Other bloggers such as backpackerbanter.com have had to drop letters – Chris' Twitter account is @bckpackerbanter which once you get used to it is memorable, but he's even said to me it's not ideal.
If you're serious about your blogging it's also best to get rid of the .wordpress.com attachment. It just looks more professional. If you're willing to invest the few pounds to get rid of it the more likely companies will be to invest in your brand too. If you're unsure about making the investment wait a while and see how you feel about your domain name, how it feels, and then you can always change it before you pay out any of your hard earned cash.
If your travel blog focuses on one part of travel, for example skiing in France, then it would be good for your site SEO to include a reference in your domain name, like amyskiisfrance.com, for example. Google will always give extra credit to any domain name that's managed to claim the keywords it's attempting to rank for. For example when I worked at gapyear.com we'd usually appear first in the SERPs for our key search phrases because we had 'gap year' in our URL.
Some of the best blog URLS for SEO include aluxurytravelblog.com, ytravelblog.com aroundtheworldin80jobs.com and cheapestdestinationsblog.com.
If you're not planning on having such a focused content or audience then I wouldn't worry about trying to play SEO with your domain name. You might just end up limiting yourself for the future, or making your URL too long, like I did.
There are a few travel blog domain names out there that to the untrained eye just don't really make any sense. I'm thinking beerandbeans.com, baconismagic.com and feveredmutterings.com. Choosing such an experimental blog name depends on whether you want to start off being brandable or discoverable – all the blogs I've just listed have gone on to be some of the best in the industry. This proves you don't have to have travel related words in your domain name, if you don't want to.
And they're the ones I know about. These guys already dominate the whole 'nomadic' thing. And ashleyabroad.com, theblondeabroad.com and savoirfaireabroad.com, among others, have claimed the 'abroad'. When it comes to naming your travel blog, think unique!
The most accessible domain name extension is to have .com after your chosen brand name. There are others available such as .net, .info, .tv but this is just another roadblock for people to find you. If you're tech savvy this is ok as you can sort out all the 301 directs yourself, but if you're tech brain is as limited as mine I'd recommend you stick to .com. It also looks more trustworthy as people are familiar with it.
1. worldofwanderlust.com – good branding and has the potential to be a huge travel site, as there are no limits.
2. girltweetsworld.com – clever and memorable!
3. ytravelblog.com – short, says what it is and clearly states it's a travel blog.
4. goseewrite.com – memorable, snappy and again, says what it is / does.
5. aroundtheworldin80jobs.com – I mentioned it earlier but I think this domain name is great. You know exactly what you're going to get and it has a clear message, as well as being memorable even though it's quite long.
Before you finally decide on your domain name just do a quick Google check to see what comes up.
You don't want anything too similar to anyone else.
And definitely not any potential legality issues.
Check Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and any of the other social media sites you want to use to be sure your chosen name hasn't been taken. Claim them asap!
You can then redirect all the other domains to your main domain to make sure no one else can have them. I haven't done this though – too much work.
It's absolutely possible to change your domain name of your travel blog if you find your changing direction or want something different. If you do though you'll lose any history you've already garnered with Google around your current choice.
Here are two of travel bloggers who've changed their domain names.
You can see they've managed to move their sites over (with some help, I understand) and they've used the knowledge gained on their first blogs to make their new ones even better.
If possible it is best to avoid this as it can take timely and cost a bit, but it's always good to know you have the option if you feel you want to change. Sometimes it can even be a good idea to liven things up – depends on your attitude!
While you're looking into domain names it makes a lot of sense to secure your actualname.com while you're at it. I bought victoriaphilpott.com a while ago and a quick LinkedIn search shows me there are six other Victoria Philpotts out there, but I got in first. Haha. It's only about £20 a year to run and once you've got it, you've got it. A lot of travel bloggers use their actualname.com as a portfolio site for further work. Obviously I need to update mine a little – I'll add that to number 125 on the to-do list – but it's there and no one can take it from me. I'd suggest you do the same.
Once you've chosen your domain name you need to decide on who you're going to get to host your site. If you're just starting out I'd recommend you choose bluehost.com. I did. Almost every travel blogger I know went with bluehost as they're the best value, have the best customer service and the best reviews. As your traffic grows you can look to upgrade – like I have – but bluehost.com will be your best option for the first few years.
And that's it! Any more questions about choosing a travel blog domain name?

Good tips! I think VickyFlipFlop is a great name- perhaps you should change it by deed poll!
I'm trying to decide whether to get a new domain when I (hopefully) move into teaching and want to blog a bit about that, but it's so hard to think of a new one that's relevant without being cliché. Using your first name in your domain to personalise your 'brand' is a great idea, but I'm struggling to decide whether I prefer a bit of anonymity. It's so difficult to decide!
Ha, I might do that y'know! I can definitely see what you mean about anonymity – I guess it depends how out there you want to be. If you have any doubts I'd just use something else, something totally abstract.
Yeah it's so difficult to decide on something isn't it?! I'm sure there's a lot of people who'd change what they have now but you just need to pick something, stick with it and make it work. And if it doesn't, have the courage to change it. I like yours!
I was wondering what you use to publish your site?
The clearness for your post is just great and i can think you are an expert on this subject.
Thank you for sharing the tips in the 'blogging' section! Buying my domain name was the best decision in regards to my own blog! It gave me a lot more confidence and made me realise that I am now officially thedayswelivefor.com!
Would you recommend any website/tips in create a logo?
Your blog looks cool! Very slick. Just looks a bit more professional when you have the full domain doesn't it? I knew what I wanted for my logo but just didn't know how to create it so I hired someone off UpWork.com. I think I paid about £50 and got it done pretty quick.
I think both are important and you should buy your name domain, as well as the name of the blog you'd like to set up.
I think there is something wrong with this link right now. I can only see URL's and no text!
Wow, that had all gone wrong hadn't it?! All sorted now though. Thanks for letting me know about it. Hope the content helps :).
Thank you for your sharing! The above tips are just what I need. The choice of domain names is important and the blog name is equally important.
Yeah the domain is very important for any blog or any website. thanks for the information.
Thanks for this - I was just wondering what you thought of the name indigoandheather - do you think it sounds ok for a travel and lifestyle blog?
Ooo sorry I'm a bit late to reply to this one. I think that's a really pretty name for a blog, and definitely memorable. Great idea!

Princeton Review Names Gonzaga among Best On-Campus MBA Programs
An aerial view of campus. (GU photo)
SPOKANE, Wash. — The Princeton Review has named Gonzaga University's on-campus MBA program as one of the nation's 244 best. The program is included in the publication's list of the "Best Business Schools for 2021," released this week. Gonzaga's entry can be viewed online.
"We recommend Gonzaga as an excellent choice for an aspiring MBA," said Rob Franek, The Princeton Review's editor-in-chief, who notes the schools were selected based on data from its surveys of administrators at business schools during the 2019-20 academic year. The survey included more than 200 questions on topics including academic offerings, the classroom experiences of students, admission requirements, and alumni career success among others.
Franek said The Princeton Review's 80-question survey of students asked students about their school's academics, student body, and campus life as well as about themselves and their career plans.The student surveys were conducted during the 2019-20, 2018–19, and 2017–18 academic years.
The Princeton Review website profiles each school's academics, student life, admissions information, and graduates' employment data.
In its Gonzaga profile, the editors note that Gonzaga's approach to "teaching students life lessons through a Jesuit education" appeals to its MBA students. One surveyed student notes, "I cannot say enough about the flexibility and responsiveness of the MBA program team. From professors to the administrative staff, this experience has been outstanding."
The report also notes that the Graduate School of Business has a "great reputation in the business community," and a "flexible curriculum structure" designed with working individuals in mind (with evening, hybrid and online classes). Also, the program can be completed full time in three semesters (including summer, fall and spring).

Defining Love: An Assignment That Can Reveal Students' Perspective on Life
(Flickr/Shiyang Huang)
Excerpted from Personal Narrative, Revised: Writing Love and Agency in the High School Classroom by Bronwyn Clare LaMay. The following is from the section, "Love and Agency in Our Stories: Surviving 'Whole.'"
By Bronwyn Clare LaMay
Love can be hard to define. I pinpointed it as a topic that was real to my students' lives and that would hopefully become a door into the literature we would read in semester two of our second year. Love was possible to personalize as well as analyze in literary discussion, and it was a seminal theme in the novel I wanted them to read, which was Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon.
Love is salient to Morrison's writing because she identifies it as the crux of her work. In one her interviews, she explains, "actually, I think, all the time when I write, I'm writing about love or its absence . . . about love or how to survive—not to make a living, but how to survive whole in a world where all of us are, in some measure, victims of something" (Taylor-Guthrie, 1994, p. 40). This connection between love and surviving whole was relevant to my students, and it came out of our conversations that many of them struggled to process moments in their lives when they felt like victims of troubled relationships or life circumstances that were beyond their control. I noticed that they had trouble conveying these experiences without inadvertently writing themselves as victims in their larger life stories. This seemed to me a condition they shared with many of the novel's characters. Morrison maintains that "each one of us is in some way at some moment a victim and in no position to do anything about it . . . in a world like that, how does one remain whole—is it just impossible to do that?" (p. 40). Through a discussion that moved between Morrison's fiction and the complex, intimate concerns my students raised in our classroom community, we grew to realize that the answer to this question lay in a critical examination of the connection between love and agency in our own stories.
To scaffold the first day of reading, I asked my students to journal for about 10 minutes on the question, What is love? This writing session lasted much longer than I had planned. Two girls began to write and then stopped, on the verge of tears, asking if they could take a moment outside. A few students alternately wrote and stared vulnerably around the room. Several others were still writing determinedly when the 10 minutes were up and requested more time. On this and other journal topics, I always waited until almost everyone was finished and then asked if there were those who wanted to share. I also made it a point to journal each entry with my class and to share my writing with them if they wanted to hear it. This was the strategy that I used to scaffold and engage them in the first several chapters of the novel, as we journaled our way through topics that either they or I suggested could connect them to the reading. This initial topic of love, however, remained unsurpassed in the emotions that it raised. As students volunteered to read their work aloud, a spectrum of unresolved stories about relationships with parents, siblings, cousins, grandparents, boyfriends, and girlfriends—as well as conflicts within themselves—emerged and began to assume some perceptible patterns.
Our conversation lasted until the end of class. It felt unfinished, so as we delved into the novel's opening chapters, I asked them to push deeper to define love in the first personal narrative they would write.
A conceptual topic like love allowed students to choose how to respond and how personal to get. One student began with the dictionary and argued that love is hard to define, given the 11 different definitions that she found. Another wrote about how the media portrayed love in misleading ways. Some students wrote about the different loves they felt for family, friends, and significant others. Other students wrote about love as loss, love as fantasy, love as a fairy tale, love as rejection, love as security, and love as a push-pull roller coaster ride with volatile but predictable ups and downs. Several students wrote with conviction that love did not exist. Some wrote about feeling love-deprived. All of them struggled to various degrees to write these papers. As I read them, it grew apparent to me that many of their definitions of love were essentially metaphors for their outlooks on life.
In The Dialogic Curriculum (1995), Patricia Stock explores the issue of creating space in the classroom for students to raise and assess personal questions, especially those that connect to the literature they read. Many of my students struggled for perspective on problems in their lives that could take precedence over their focus in class. Stock addresses this point in her work, acknowledging:
Some educators insist that teachers should not allow students to explore their personal concerns in the talk or writing they do in classrooms, even when students' concerns match those in the readings they are assigned. . . . I hold a position on this issue that I have not reached easily or lightly: Teachers of schoolchildren are never far from the concerns their students bring with them to their studies. If they are, they do not teach students. They may teach subject matter, but they do not teach students. (p. 76)
Her view was indispensable in the context where I taught. When my students were emotionally distressed, distracted, or withdrawn due to struggles in their personal lives, they were not able to engage personally or academically in class. This was an everyday reality that created stress for me and influenced my decision to invite them to raise real dilemmas in our classroom context. However, the relationships my students built with one another and with me over our first 18 months of working together were vital to the narrative approach I describe in this book, whereby we strove to study and respect our lives as texts.

Our 3d timelines have always packed in a lot functionality, offering a wide range of customisation options. But they were not perfect. Our 3d timelines were, for example, restricted to displaying only the first two lines of titles. From a design perspective, shorter titles work really well on the 3d timelines. However, real life means that sometimes you need to display longer titles - so we made it happen! You can see the longer titles in action in the screenshot above. Go forth and write long titles!
Now for url hashing - you may ask what url hashing is, and that would be a very good question! By default, you can navigate to any point in time on a timeline or open any story and copy the url (the web address that displays in your browser) to share that specific time or story with someone else. In effect, the url remembers where you are on the timeline.
For example, here is a link to the 'Getting started with Tiki-Toki' story on our blog timeline: http://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/78638/Tiki-Toki-Blog/#vars!panel=3020241! Note the hash (#) that appears close to the end of the url - what follows the hash is what allows you to link directly to that particular story. While this is an incredibly useful feature, it can make for long ugly urls and make going back to the previous page difficult in the browser. We have therefore turned this feature off by default in newly created timelines.
If you would like to enable the url hashing functionality, open your timeline for editing and go to the 'Settings' tab on your admin panel. Click on the 'Advanced settings' button and go to 'Url hashing', changing the drop-down menu to 'On' as shown in the screenshot. Be sure to save before closing the panel!
Just two more updates: the viewer control panel and Slovenian language support. The viewer control panel is the little spanner (wrench) that appears in the bottom right of many timelines - it allows timeline viewers to filter by category, change the zoom and a few other things. You can find out more about it here. It now displays by default on newly created timelines, but can be turned off in the 'Advanced settings' panel by changing 'Timeline controls' to 'Disabled'.
And last, but certainly not least, you can now display your timeline in Slovenian. To see the full list of languages timelines can be displayed in, check out the 'Language options' section in the 'Advanced settings' panel. The list is already extensive, but we're always happy to add more! Get in touch with us if there's another language you'd like to use and could do the translation for.

Driver Verifier is a tool included in Microsoft Windows that replaces the default operating system subroutines with ones that are specifically developed to catch device driver bugs. Once enabled, it monitors and stresses drivers to detect illegal function calls or actions that may be causing system corruption. It acts within the kernel mode and can target specific device drivers for continual checking or make driver verifier functionality multithreaded, so that several device drivers can be stressed at the same time. It can simulate certain conditions such as low memory, I/O verification, pool tracking, IRQL checking, deadlock detection, DMA checks, IRP logging, etc. The verifier works by forcing drivers to work with minimal resources, making potential errors that might happen only rarely in a working system manifest immediately. Typically fatal system errors are generated by the stressed drivers in the test environment, producing core dumps that can be analysed and debugged immediately; without stressing, intermittent faults would occur in the field, without proper troubleshooting facilities or personnel.

Driver Verifier (Verifier.exe) was first introduced as a command-line utility in Windows 2000; in Windows XP, it gained an easy-to-use graphical user interface, called Driver Verifier Manager, that makes it possible to enable a standard or custom set of settings to select which drivers to test and verify. Each new Windows version has since introduced several new, more stringent checks for testing and verifying drivers and detecting new classes of driver defects.

Driver Verifier is not normally used on machines used in productive work. It can cause undetected and relatively harmless errors in drivers to manifest, especially ones not digitally signed by Windows Hardware Quality Labs, causing blue screen fatal system errors. It also causes resource-starved drivers to underperform and slow general operation if the constraints imposed by Verifier are not reversed after debugging. Microsoft recommends against verifying all drivers at the same time.

Elio Marchegiani - La Verifica Certa
Doing to make people think
The CPH | Pevero Hotel in Porto Cervo is pleased to announce the second and eagerly awaited event of the exhibition "ESTATE D'ARTE 2010": Saturday, August 7, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. will take place the vernissage of "LA VERIFICA CERTA", with the exhibition of paintings by Maestro Elio Marchegiani. A range of about 40 works selected from the entire artistic heritage of the artist. The works will remain on display at the Colonna Pevero Arte gallery until September 30 (with the Artistic Direction of the architect Demetrio Marrosu).
"Art is an exact science that has been lucky not to be."
PEVERO ART COLUMN - CURATOR OF THE EXHIBITION
Located in Porto Cervo, in the wonderful bay of Pevero, the CPH | Pevero Hotel opened in 2007 and is one of the newest and already most prestigious five star hotels of the Costa Smeralda. In 2008 the Hotel inaugurates an art gallery called "Colonna Pevero Arte". With the expertise of the Artistic Director Arch. Demetrio Marrosu, in a sort of homage to Sardinia, the selection of artists provides, in addition to the most representative names to which pay due homage, the presentation of new names, new expressions of young artists ranging from photography to painting to sculpture, to which offer visibility in a prestigious scenario. The matrix common to all artists who are presented, regardless of their age is to belong to forms of expression "contemporary". Artists such as Giovanni Campus, who in 2008 inaugurated the Gallery and exhibited his paintings in the convivial areas of the Hotel, fit into this context. Considering the success of the initiative, in 2009, Colonna Pevero Arte organizes a real review of different artistic events called "ESTATE D'ARTE", thanks also to a new room that is entirely dedicated to the exhibition gallery. During the 2009 season Colonna Pevero Arte hosted young emerging artists such as Francesca Randi and established masters such as Angelo Liberati and Antonio Secci. Unforgettable then "Marilyn Twelve", the photographic exhibition of 12 rare masterpieces in which Marilyn Monroe is portrayed by her photographer - Lawrence Schiller - just before her death.The Colonna Pevero Arte, for 2010 prefers again the contemporary art inaugurating the first event of this summer with "Hollywood Legends". On display the photographs of Frank Worth who portrays timeless Hollywood stars such as Monroe - Elizabeth Taylor - James Dean. The photographic works, after having been hidden in the artist's photographic archive for 50 years, can finally be admired by the public at CPH | Pevero Hotel, where the exhibition will remain until August 3rd inclusive. In addition to Worth's main exhibition and in contrast to the black and white of his photographs, in the Pevero Arte Room until August 3 you can admire the photographic works of another wonderful artist: Jeannette Handler with "The Flower Collection". A former advertising photographer, Handler experiments with the wide range of technical possibilities of today's photography in her works. Saturday, August 7, the Colonna Pevero Arte, thanks to the collaboration with the Giraldi Gallery of Livorno, will open the exhibition of the works of the master Elio Marchegiani. A range of about 40 paintings selected from the entire artistic heritage of the artist. The works will be exhibited at the Colonna Pevero Arte gallery until September 30 (with the Artistic Direction of the architect Demetrio Marrosu).
MASTER MARCHEGIANI SAYS:
"The informal works of the fifties, exhibited here, belong to the beginning of my artistic work. When I was little more than twenty years old, that fantastic-manual predisposition, which I had been living since childhood, had turned into the determination that my future life would be that of Art. I would have thus allowed myself a freedom of communication and a "doing to make people think" that would have obliged me, presumptuously, wanting to make others think, to a constant careful evaluation of the idea, for its consequent realization.
This often implies long executive times even in the need for constant experimentation of various subjects, in that "unique faith that is a religion of progress" in the fundamental thought of a topicality where technology can decant itself, turning into Poetry. I can summarize it all by saying: constant research and not just the repetitiveness of a single idea.
My works always have a title.
In the informal period we can find intimist ones (Gestation, My vortex) or referred to the technologies of the time (Construction - Structure), where the lamination of the material in gold and silver became a metaphor for what was happening around us: the economic miracle, the knowledge of technology, electronics, the new management of political power, money, superpowers: Forty Degrees Above Tristan Zara of 1964 relates to the cry of Critic Pierre Restany who in Piazza del Duomo in Milan, for the Nouveau Réalisme festival, incited the artists to a New Avant-Garde even beyond Dadaism of which Zara was a proponent. Zipper is the closure-opening that gives light inside the work: there are many possible meanings... with a reference to the cutting of Lucio Fontana's canvases. The Black Star of 63' is an almost prophetic anticipation of the Black Holes... at the time they were talking about the conquest of celestial space.
My Locks placed on gold or silver material are always a symbol of closure, of incommunicability, they are old or ancient as old and ancient is the "Civilization of the door and human selfishness with all its sad consequences.
Erasers: rubber has the "special virtue" of living and aging like human skin: ending, dying, pulverizing or mummifying. They are works dedicated to time, to the ephemeral; they live with us in the No to the eternity of Art, but in the Yes to its transformation, its mutation. The Skin Mirror: is an invitation to caress art: or a tribute to the mirror in its impossibility to become the skin of the one it reflects. The Grams of color are a reference to the Renaissance fresco that is only Italian, in geometric rods, are followed by the artist "returned as a child", as a rebirth after the death of the Erasers. On Plaster they are a symbol of freedom; on Blackboard of coercion and codified culture.
Piercing 2003... so even Art is a fashion!
There is little to laugh about, the mouths of upturned "sharks" always laugh.
My China belongs to a series of works for a 2001 exhibition that highlighted the feelings I had during my trip and stay in Beijing in 1980. That old China we all had in our heads was drastically changing.
Little or nothing would remain of the dying Old Man. I thought of that little bit of sanctioning in my "making".
The works of the series Nature and Grammature contain what is disappearing or changing in nature, also considering their imminent unavailability (see rare shells). Crystals and Grammatures: a series of works reveal the impossibility of artistic colors to compete with those promised by the Light of its composition. All to highlight once again our littleness towards the greatness of Nature in all its supreme extrinsications."
THE GIRALDI GALLERY OF LIVORNO
The Giraldi Gallery founded in 1951, is located in a nineteenth-century building overlooking Piazza della Repubblica, in the historic center of Livorno. At the beginning, the Gallery's activity was characterized by the promotion of the avant-garde, searching even in apparently marginal territories, such as Livorno, for the most innovative ferments of the culture of the time. The initial enthusiasm with which the gallery participated in the process of discovery of the new (which locally meant the opposition to the post-macchiaiola tradition, still alive today) was then applied to an investigation of the artistic experimentation of the second half of the twentieth century, free from those unique references to "fashion" chronicles and handbooks; hence the activity of valorization of artists who, because of the process of homologation that had taken place, were forgotten and for some of whom a just reconsideration began, with serious delay. The reference, among the latter, is to artists such as Bonalumi, Corpora, Crippa, Dorazio, Dova, Reggiani, Santomaso, Scanavino, Turcato. The strong commitment exercised in the national field and the conviction that there is still much to investigate in order to discover true talents and to re-establish more equitable values, has not allowed, if not marginally, international level experiences. The way in which the gallery has practiced the activity of supporting artistic experimentation and the subsequent valorization of the artistic qualities identified can be found only in part in the numerous exhibitions dedicated both to the most daring local artistic group and to Tuscan and national artists (the personal exhibitions of Fontana, held before his death, are worth mentioning); for the most part, support and valorization have been identified (and are still identified today, as the best response, we believe, to the current period of crisis) with the practice and dissemination of collecting, conceived as a cultural and economic investment. Since 1957, Galleria Giraldi has represented Maestro Elio Marchegiani. "We are honored to host the works of an artist of the caliber of Elio Marchegiani, a true protagonist of contemporary art" - says Silvia Nordio, Head of Public Relations of CPH | Pevero Hotel - "Just think that while some of his creations are exhibited at our gallery in Costa Smeralda, others are in Ischia, in an exhibition set up at the sixteenth-century Torre di Guevara, in an anthological exhibition organized by the City of Ischia and the Circolo Georges Sadoul. As further confirmation of the talent of this incredible artist, in 2011 Marchegiani will be the guest of an anthological exhibition at the Pecci Museum in Prato".
