Guccio Gucci began his small leather goods and luggage company in Florence, Italy, in 1921. He had previously worked at the famed Savoy Hotel in London, and this experience inspired him to bring the taste of the English nobility into the goods he created.

Gucci's first big clients were, as the brand says, "horse-riding aristocrats," and they clamored for equestrian gear. This is where the brand's famed horsebit detail comes from.

When Italy was under a fascist dictatorship in the 1940s, leather was difficult to come by, so the company experimented with other materials like linen and burnished cane. The burnished cane bag, also known as the bamboo bag, became so popular that it's still produced today.

The now-famous flora-print silk scarf was first made as a personal request from none other than Grace Kelly in 1966. Gucci had artist Kris Knight reimagine the print for the Cruise 2015 collection, but its other iterations are still available.

Nightlife in the US as an International Student

The United States of America is almost like two countries depending on the time of day. By day you have a plentiful array of activities to choose from but the real fun begins after the sun sets and the street lights begin to flicker on one by one. As a college student, nightlife activities are arguably one the best thing about studying in America (apart from access to a great education).  

So you may be wondering, what is nightlife in the US as an international student like? This is a loaded question since depending on where you study, your age and personal preference, nightlife can take on a number of forms.

Dance Clubs

If you like to dance, in most cities and college towns there are 18 and older dance clubs. Going to these establishments is known as “going clubbing.” Clubbing is typically from the hours of 10PM until the club closes or when you feel like leaving. If you are over the legal drinking age of 21 then you can also partake in a couple of alcoholic beverages. Even without drinking alcohol, clubs can be a lot of fun- you can dance the night away with your friends. Clubs always have soft drinks and water available for purchase, and will often supply these for free to the designated driver.

It’s always important to be aware of your surroundings though and to use the buddy system to be safe. It’s always suggested to out with a group of friends to have a safe and fun time! Dancing is a great social activity and you may even make friends while out at the club. The key is to dance like nobody’s watching and to just be yourself!

Bars & Breweries 

So maybe dancing isn’t your scene. A relaxing alternative to the high energy club life is going to a bar or brewery. Many bars also serve some tasty food and provide a quieter environment for you and your friends to hang out at. Breweries are fun and while they typically only serve beer or wine to drink they always provide a friendly atmosphere, and people often bring their dogs to hang out! Plus, many breweries offer tours that give you a back-lot look at the inner workings and history of the company. What could be better than hanging out with your friends, gaining a bit of knowledge and playing with some cute dogs?

Concerts

Another US nightlife option to consider is attending a concert. At anytime of the year some of your favorite recording artists may be playing in your city! Someone you may have dreamed about seeing perform live could be coming to your college town or a city nearby, next year major pop stars such as Harry Styles, Lorde and Katy Perry will be going on tour. Concerts usually start around seven or eight o’clock and can go until eleven at night or much later! Seeing one of your favorite musicians with your new friends is a bonding experience that you will remember forever.

House Parties

A timeless American tradition is the “house party.” A house party usually takes place close to campus and is comprised of your peers hanging out and playing fun party games to get to know each other. While some of your peers may choose to partake in alcoholic beverages you can also have a great time sipping on water, juice, coffee or any other drink while having meaningful conversations with attendees.
Unlike at a club or bar where people tend to talk more with the friends they came with instead of socializing with the people around them, at a house party you can talk to all kinds of people and really have the chance to make new friends. If you’re having a good conversation with a new friend, ask for their phone number or to connect on your favorite social media platform. Who knows, you may be able to start a study group or intramural team with them.
Now you’re prepared to experience nightlife, the American way! Just remember to keep in mind of your surroundings and to make good choices to always have a great night out.

IQ Option Europe Ltd Review

IQ Option Europe Ltd (or also iqoption) is one of the newer binary options brokers. You can find their review on this page. IQOption may be interesting especially to more experienced traders who want to try their newly built trading pattern or method. That’s because IQOption offers, apart from a completely free binary options demo trading mode, also different types of graphs, i.e. candlestick charts and lots of useful indicators. You don’t see that often with other brokers.

It’s the fastest growing broker that, as of today (July 2016),  accounts for 11 million active traders. Another interesting fact is that the broker will start sending you emails after completing the registration. You’ll receive approx. 10, in the first month. These are emails that should teach binary options trading. You’ll find out what’s hedging,  rollover, and so on. Interesting, but some of you might find it a bit spammy.

IQ Option binary options demo

IQOption is very famous for their demo account, that can be opened in a few seconds. Simply click on the green button Visit broker below and then just press “Login With Facebook“. The trading account will be set up immediately and you are ready to trade.

IQ Option demo account is, however, slightly limited! Profit in the demo account is reduced to 50-60% and the number of trading assets is not the usual 77, but 15. Still, it’s good enough just to test the platform. And you won’t ever want to try another broker.

IQ Option Platform

IQ Option has a very interesting custom made platform, which you’ll love right from the first use. They have developed it specifically for themselves, not like most of other brokers. Meaning that no other broker can use this platform. For example broker BDSwiss or broker Banc de Binary use the identical SpotOption platform, with just a slightly different look.

Broker’s awards

This broker has received various awards from various binary options magazines. For instance, they have been given the awards: Best Binary Options Broker trading application, Most Innovative Binary Options Broker, Most Reliable Binary Options Broker and more.

Even one of the most important Stock Markets in the world Nasdaq identified the broker IQ Option as great. You can find out more, here: Interview with the IQ Option’s founder.

IQ Option Mobile App

Ever since its launch in 2013, the broker IQ Option has been undoubtedly one of the most innovative binary options brokers. With every new technology launched, IQ Option pushes binary options trading to the next level. And IQ Option’s mobile apps are not an exception. You haven’t tried any mobile application for binary options trading yet? I can assure you that this one you are going to love. Why?

• It is the best mobile application for binary options trading you can find on the market (IQ Option broker was awarded a price for its application).
• It’s platform is extremely user-friendly and has great graphics.
• The IQ Option mobile platform is extremely fast and it is not surprising that most traders use the mobile platform more that the desktop one.
• The application is very well secured so your money and personal data are safe + you can set up to log in with your fingerprint. I am sure that a lot of traders will appreciate it.
• It also offers notifications, so you are not going to miss any tournament, nor any other IQ Option event.
• The IQ Option app is available on iTunes and Google Play store.
• The app supports exactly the same functions as the desktop app (charts settings, lines drawing, etc.)
• You can log in via Facebook or Google accounts.
• You can deposit your money directly in the app. It takes just a few taps.

IQ Option’s VIP account

In IQ option, all smaller traders have the so-called standard account. This means that they are active traders, but all their deposits combined don’t give a total of $3,000. However, if one’s deposits, in single or multiple payments, exceeds $ 3,000, they’ll be assigned a VIP account. What does that mean?

What is a VIP account

Having a VIP account brings many advantages. Some of the benefits are:

• High-yield assets that can make their profit reach up to 91%! (for each correct prediction)!
• Access to the Educational Section prepared by experts from IQ Option (Lessons on money management, using indicators, a list of 21 mistakes that inexperienced traders do and so on)
