The first thing you need to understand when coming to Japan is that you will need to recalibrate your gaydar. Many straight Japanese men read as gay to Americans because of their grooming and fashion sense. There are several gay subcultures or communities that are common in Japan. Bars tend to identify themselves as serving one or another of these communities. Below, we will give you a brief introduction to some of these types. Our guides will be able to provide you with more details so you know where to go to find what you seek.
These men tend toward a stocky, athletic body type and tend to dress accordingly. These men tend not to appear on American gaydar.
O-ne means older sister and these men tend toward an exaggerated femininity in language and appearance.
Kuma means bear and these men tend toward the same body type and fashion as bears in Western gay culture.
These men are closest to the 'twink' category in Western gay culture and tend to be thin and dress and groom themselves carefully to maintain a certain style.
For more information on these types and others as well as which bars attract which types, please ask your TGJ gay assistant. He can also tell you about 'kanko' (tourist) bars.

Concepts Of Modern Web Design Taught At Todays Institutes
Modern internet layout is intensely a lot threat from the layout that turned into used a bunch of 10 years within the beyond. With the creation of HTML 5, many new qualities have been brought. Along with this there's the creation of responsive internet layout for which the institutes are teaching new principles. One who needs to find out about these principles have to soak up a internet-dependent designing course in Kolkata to benefit and get a foothold within the marketplace.
There are many principles within the discipline.
The responsive layout
Responsive internet layout focuses on device true categorical of the net web sites. For this rationalization why there are true frameworks that have to virtually be used. Of them virtually the most very important one is Bootstrap. It is a CSS framework with the assistance of which the net web sites in simply right shape nicely in any classification of objects be it smart phones, laptops, HD screens and so forth. The native institutes practice the preferably suited approach to include the Bootstrap aspects in each unmarried HTML and CSS to create responsive web pages for each classification of objects.
Modern Javascript frameworks:
Modern internet layout entails the use of many javascript frameworks such as Ember, Angular, React and so forth with the assistance of which every unmarried internet designing and internet advancement can take region. All of those internet frameworks are fullyyt open source. However, the net designers have to virtually have an suggestion of javascript so one can work in these frameworks. These frameworks are very dynamic in nature and may mainly perchance be used to build powerful internet purposes. The internet designing institutes are naturally imparting the sincere principles of javascript for their candidates.
Flat UIs and Material Design
With time the consumer interface of web web sites have reworked. At gift Material Design from Google and Flat color schemes are utilized to the net web sites. A internet designing course in Kolkata teaches the rules of those frameworks with which they're in a predicament to observe these designs. Also, there's great scope of innovation in these designs in which color schemes play an in reality desired role.
Typography and Fonts:
Typography and font face are two very desired components of internet site layout. Only learning the layout principles will now no longer do. One needs to benefit the a decent deal of forms of typography which may even be used in internet site trademarks. This section falls a lot no longer as much as the purview of every unmarried internet layout and portraits layout. On the alternative hand this system of fonts will play an extra very important role. Fonts are great mood setters and these institutes practice the sorts of fonts which may even be used in threat web pages. There are many principles which are practicable on the net also concerning the typography and fonts that candidates can keep on with.
Page optimization principles:
Page optimization is an in reality desired section of popular internet layout. This is as the more optimized a page is, the quicker it have to virtually load. For this the designers shall be taught to optimize the photography and the code. Today internet designers minify CSS and Javascript to decrease the length of the pages and likewise to make them quicker to load.
These are a bunch of of the rules taught in a internet-dependent designing course in Kolkata and candidates have to affix an institute which adds comprehensive course materials.

New Delhi: Telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad offered some comfort to spooked internet users in India today, voicing full-throated support for "net neutrality" days after the US scrapped rules that ensured a free and open internet. Speaking at an event in New Delhi, he said it was for the US to decide its stand on net neutrality but "our stand from day one is very clear - right of non-discriminatory access to internet is not negotiable".
- Ravi Shankar Prasad says India committed to "net neutrality"
- Says had rejected Facebook's Free Basics program due to this
- Comment comes after US regulator struck down fair internet access rules
"Internet must be available to all. From Day One that I've been handling the portfolio of communications too, I have always said in the parliament: right of access to internet is not negotiable. I don't want to go into the debate of net neutrality that is for America to decide... I have been very clear, our government has been very clear," he said at the Times Network's Digital India Summit.
The minister cited the example of denying an all-clear to Facebook's Free Basics platform, which intended to bring free access to some websites while leaving out others.
"Therefore, when Facebook came to India with their Free Basics... we examined and we found it would be "free-only-when-you-enter-through-my-gate". India does not believe in one gate... very clear about it... and I did not give any permission for that," he said.
Indian's internet regulator, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India or TRAI, had issued an order in February last year on discriminatory pricing over internet access which led to ban of platforms like Free Basics and Airtel Zero.
Last month, TRAI finalised its recommendations on net neutrality in which it prohibited internet service providers from making any discrimination in traffic while providing web access by either blocking or throttling some apps, websites and services or by offering "fast lanes" to others.
The Department of Telecom has to now take call on TRAI recommendations over net neutrality.
Mr Prasad's message today earned him positive reviews from internet rights activists. "I believe internet is one of the finest creation of mankind and must be available for all. If internet is a global platform it must have link with local," Mr Prasad said.

Mutation, positive or negative, gives a very strong tension. Ingo Maurer, an industrial designer and light craftsman, believes this is necessary since it serves as instigator; a fundamental part of our daily lives, according to Maurer. If we were not intellectually challenged we would get bored in no time. Just imagine being surrounded by monotony, dullness, and constant routine every day for months or years on end. The same people, the same conversations, the same activities, the same lunch, and so on and on and on. If this sounds like your daily life, do something about it. Go out and push yourself. Walk instead of taking a cab. Run 3 miles instead of 2. Watch 5 seasons of a show in a day. Conquer France. You get my point. Being able to feel and see these deviations in the world around us is very important for our development.
My absolute favorite project by Ingo has to be "ablaze – sentimento (s)travolgente" simply because of all the ways I can imagine his thought process going. It might have gone something like "I want to build a shack. But I want it to be black. Plus it'll be orange on the inside. And I want it to be tilted and the whole thing will be on fire". The best thing is he actually went out and completed this mad dream with Axel Schmid. Now, it's not actual fire that lights up this beautiful piece of art, although Maurer makes it clear that he absolutely would have made that happen had it not been prohibited by the installation's host. They had to fake this image of a burning house and they did it with a twist. They painted it black for several reasons. They wanted the shack to represent charcoal, burnt wood, and other recognizable flammable materials, but the black paint also made it seem like a silhouette. This illusion of it being the shape of the shack combined with the distortion of the walls in unusual angles makes it (in Axel Schmid's words) a more powerful icon. They contrasted this dark outside with a colorful and intense orange on the inside. The intensity of the inside's color was emphasized with a mirror and lights, making it brighter and giving it a hotter appearance. And the smoke? Easy. Fog machine. The result of this strategy speaks for its effectiveness. Even if we can tell the house is not actually on fire, I hope you can take this piece for what it is trying to symbolize and make you feel rather than the literal, physical result you can observe.
You can imagine how a burning house might not be considered sensitive art by the general public. It might be regarded as an offensive project, but this emotional impact was Maurer's goal with this work. He wants to turn heads, raise questions, make you uncomfortable, break the chains of monotony, and punch you in the gut. In my opinion, he does a great job of it.

I have from some time a doubt, in Windows we can have software in an "portable" way, as the "portable apps" etc, this just make some modification in the programs or makes an "launcher" wich track all system/registry changes and keep in some user folder, with this we can keep the system more "clean".
by other side we have can the common "executable", wthout installers, a very common way to distribute software in windows, just we have the program with all your "dependencies" in one folder, and are "distributed" as zip, rar, etc, even full games.
Indeed almost software which I use in windows is just "extracted" in any folder and no "installed".
Some installer even have a option to "install" or "extract", and any case the software works anyway.
In linux I notice we can share software "zipped" without need of any install, however is not common this way as in Windows, in Linux you feel as if a install is mandary the 90% of times at least.
Why that?
Why Linux have this problem and no distribute the programs in simple "extract and use", In fact as we know, it's something they're facing now with flatpak, snap, etc.. But indeed is possible distribute software without install anything, without touch the terminal, "as in windows", but again, I don't understand why this is not normal in Linux :|
some programs that I have been able to use in linux without any installation are:
Telegram, Lazpaint, ZinjaI, but as I say, this is not an common way to distribuite the software in linux...
Now the new "easy" way is use flatpak, snap, etc, etc, etc
New solutions for an problem which is easy of fix?

Don't overlook the fact that the portable software for Windows that you refer to is the effort of John T. Haller and a few helpers and has been around for over a decade yet isn't wide spread by others. Basically not many are interested in doing it, for Windows or Linux. Even Porteus's USM is dying.

Cleared From One Doctor's Appointments
This has been a very busy ten months, but things are quieting down now. I'm happy to say that the dermatology surgeon gave me a clear pass today, with no more follow-up appointments with him for now. I'll continue to see the dermatologist every three months, but the most recent visit with him also gave a clear pass, with two biopsies taken and no cancer found. We're breathing easier now … still cautious, and staying on top of skin checks, but feeling more positive with each negative biopsy.
It's funny how medical visits can take over a schedule, and how easily the focus of health priorities can shift. Five years ago, seeking a cause for recurring migraines and shingles and other troubling symptoms I was given a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. That label, and its treatment, was the dominant focus for the following three years. Then depression reared up, and finding doctors to help me address that label and find its right treatment pushed my concerns with MS to the edge of the plate. With talk therapy and medications, I rediscovered my self-respect and discontinued the MS injections, pushing MS nearly off my plate altogether. But within two months of that achievement, the diagnosis of all three forms of skin cancer took center stage. Eight surgeries and more than a hundred sutures later, follow-up visits for malignant melanoma (in two separate primary sites) caused a resurgence of the depression and more adjustment of medications. Rick has patiently been at my side through all of this … he has patiently been at my side through many other challenges aside from my health as well.
The combination of MS treatment and depression ended my career. But with his steady support, and despite the additional element of cancer, I have been able to rediscover what I am capable of. I've become the Company Clerk for our local Erie 4 Fire Company … and the Vice President and Local Author Event Coordinator for our Friends of the public Library … and a wordsmith of sorts for the Alliance for Georgetown, working on communications and press releases for its sponsored Business Events … I've started my own business Terry's Thoughts and Threads, as a Quilter and Free Lance Writer and self-published author, companion to Rick's own Wooden Toy and Gift. We are both working hard to promote these small businesses in conjunction with other small businesses in town.
We haven't yet established a 'routine' of working hours, as our schedule isn't yet our own. But as the doctor visits begin to lessen in number and slow in repetition, we'll begin to see more days as our own. At some points in the past ten months we've had as many as four days each week interrupted by different doctor appointments. As the skin surgeries increased, so did the depression appointments. Both now are beginning to fall back to a level I can call 'occasional' rather than 'intense.' And that is a relief.
Thanks for staying with me here at the blog. I'm happy to say that right now I'm happy, and feeling well. February is my favorite month of the year … no heat and humidity, the amusement of Groundhog Day, the sentiment of Valentine's Day, the freedom, for many decades of my life, provided by School Vacation Week, and then my birthday. I'm happy to be the age I am, and would have no desire or reason to want to go back for a 'do-over' of any I've completed.
Next on the agenda will be working on our tax forms for this first full year of retirement income. It will be interesting…
Be well, all. I will, too.

Oh Terry I am so happy to hear that you have gotten a clear book of health. I'm sure with your determination your routine will come together. I am not happy to say since the diagnosis of SPMS took center stage and leaving behind RRMS I have never been able to find my 'routine" as of yet which is very frustrating. MS along with other factors have deterred me from a routine but I do not lose hope. Very happy the melanoma is behind you. Always with a kind thought for you and Rick. ~ Liset

Hours later a man accompanied by Petra entered the room.
"Hello, Hanna! I sincerely hope you feel better. My name is Ibrahim. I am the Imam of this mosque and director of the Koranic school. I brought some tea. You think we can talk now?" I just nodded. Then Petra poured me tea, and although she was completely veiled, I recognised her straightaway.
"What happened is a disgrace to my community! We will severely penalise the boys, and it will be a void to them. But no one can relieve you from the humiliation and pain you have suffered. So what do you intend to do?"
"I do know I should report them. However, if the boys get punished and they apologise to me, I don't want to report them."
"You are very generous. You need to know that if it became official, the whole community would suffer. So you know the reports about us in the newspapers?"
"I want to become a journalist and have studied Marxloh in depth, and I dislike the way some people in Germany treated the immigrants. I have followed Petra as her behaviour suddenly has changed so dramatically that it has aroused my journalistic interest. But I never thought that she would travel to Marxloh and I would find her there deeply veiled."
"It has been late into the night, and I would ask you to stay overnight. I'll bring you back tomorrow.", Ibrahim said. There was something in me that immediately wished to go home, but I also didn't accept my strains for anything. After all, I could learn more about the people here. Probably the contacts I was able to establish here will have been useful for my future profession.
"I would like to spend the weekend here and that you show everything to me. It is a small compensation from you for my suffering." Ibrahim laughed loudly and said:
"You are damn tough. Each other woman would disappear as soon as she could. Stay as long as you want. Be my guest. Except then I must have asked you to disguise yourself for the duration of your stay here."
"All right, if I cannot avoid it. Then maybe I can get something to eat, I'm dying of hunger," she asked.
" Now Samira will take care of you. I want to go to bed now. Good night, Hanna. And then he left.
"For God's sake! I have to call my mother and Julia," I said.
"I have already informed them. Here, your mobile phone. It survived the attack on you pretty well," said Samira, Petra.
"Thank you, Petra or what is your name now?"
"Petra! Samira will be my name after my conversion to Islam when I have spoken the Shahada. Please do not be confused about my niqab. I am wearing it for the first time and only for training purposes. You should know that I spend my weekends here in the madrasah to devote myself to the study of the Koran and to get to know the Islamic way of life. But I am still Petra to you! There is only one thing I would like to ask you: do not question me in religious matters, I do not want to say anything wrong, and by the way, I practice myself in silence. Here I raise my voice only to praise Allah, so from now on answer you only in writing," Petra said.
"Madrasa, niqab and so on, what is the meaning of all this," I asked confusedly.
"It's best to eat first and get some sleep. Tomorrow morning, I'll explain everything to you," she wrote on display and handed it to me for reading. "Okay, I'm hungry and tired. I guess you're right."
I awoke from a deep, restful sleep. The pain from my injuries had disappeared. I got up to look at myself in a mirror. It was a miracle all the swellings and bruises were gone. And then Petra already entered my room. She took me in her arms in silence and rubbed her forehead against my forehead. Then it occurred to me that Petra did not want to speak.
"So, now what is going to be happening to me" I wanted to know. Petra pressed a button on her display and a second black ghost entered the room. They took me to the bathroom. They undressed me and rubbed me with an oleander-scented paste, and then I was allowed to shower. I saw my body hair flowing down the drain. When I touched my skin, a pleasant shower came down with moderate intensity. My skin felt soft and silky, and with a mischievous smile I thought:
" If this day continues so fantastically, I could convert without a hitch". Wrapped in a thick terry towel, I left the bathroom later to be dressed by the women.
They handed me black panties reaching up to my calves and over my navel. A shirt, also black, with long sleeves and reaching from the neck to the hips, followed. Next came a black headscarf, which only left my face. Then they handed me black gaze thick socks. The gloves were pulled over the gauntlets so that I was dressed entirely in black except for my face. The next garment was an overhead abaya with butterfly sleeves. To prevent the sleeves from slipping up, I had to pull the loops attached to the envelope of the abaya over the respective middle finger. This effectively stopped the sleeves from slipping up. Petra showed me a niqab. With a quiet nod, I indicated to her that I was ready for the niqab. My blue eyes disappeared forever behind a black veil. The Khimar then followed, and I was completely veiled. It got hot under all my clothing, but somehow it wasn't that strange. I felt comfortable wearing them.
"Oh dear! It feels awesome. I hope I wasn't born to be a barn owl" I thought. It was meant to be ironic but sounded like it was. I was standing with the women in front of a mirror. I saw, except for the differences in size, three completely identical black ghosts and found it all good and beautiful and exciting. Yes, I felt somehow safe and happy. Why? I was not able to explain it to myself.
"Anyway! I am going to spend a weekend among these friendly persons here, and I am deeply veiled," I thought. They handed me a display on which I read:
"Please use this display and try to be silent." So for the first time, I used a display to communicate with others.
"Thank you very much for your care. I will be silent with you," I wrote. I quickly forgot my doubts, and I shared with my sisters, because as such I now considered them confusingly, one weekend long, for the life of a devout Muslimah.
-- She couldn't know that she was permanently exposed to the gas, like all new women who stayed in the madrasah overnight. The dosage was deliberately very low. Because the rapid transformation of Anita Müller had caused quite a stir a year ago. Today, the procedure was much slower and more targeted. A permanent sprinkling also led to the goal. --

I got my partner to set up a mobile hotspot and I'm trying to activate the new SIM but it tells me 'You must enter a SIM number beginning with 8935305'. The replacement SIM I have starts with 8935302.
11-05-2018 09:47 AM - edited 11-05-2018 09:48 AM
@Fozzle, we can try one more thing. Can you log into the router > Disable 2.4ghz signal in the router setting when you log into it > Go to wlan settings and click into basic. There you'll see 5ghz and 2.4ghz. Your router could be emitting both by default, if you switch off 2.4 then you'll be using 5ghz which is faster. You may have to connect to that wired but you can also try disable the 5ghz and see if your speeds are a bit more stable.
on 11-05-2018 10:26 AM
Ok, I'll try that later. I want to use 2.4ghz because I have a wireless sound system that requires it. And again, the speed is bad but that's not the main issue. The main issue is that the internet is not available a lot of the time making it impossible to do work or watch anything without constant breaks.
Also, you didn't answer my question about replacing the SIM. Did the wrong type of SIM get sent out? Is there some step I'm missing?
Also, could it be because I'm in between two masts? My phone also loses internet access in the house but it's fine once I'm out and about. I'll reiterate, I live in Dublin 6, less than a kilometer from the masts, signal should not be a problem.
I see you've updated your post to remove the words 'before I contact the tech team'. I would suggest that given the time that has passed and all the information I've given you that you should already have contacted the tech team. Please do this now. And please ask customer services (or relevant team) to contact me in relation to redress for my lack of service this past month.
on 11-05-2018 10:52 AM
@Fozzle I contacted the tech team already and they've analysed your service but you should have received a call from them to provide you with an update. I updated that because I know I already raised the issue. but I've asked them for the analysis to view. Turning off your router can also help i.e. at night time instead of leaving it on all night if you turn it off when not using it, can improve the service. The SIM card you have received is not suitable for your plan, it's something that can help but looking at your account you only just got the SIM with the new router so I think your best bet is to try the step above and I'll let you know what the tech team have found.

Hi, I brought my router down to Gorey in Wexford at the weekend. It worked perfectly and it had 5 signal bars. In Dublin 6 I get 1 maybe 2 signal bars, consistent dropped signal and very slow speed. And my mobile phone, also on Three, is very slow and drops internet when used in the house. I think this proves that the problem is with the Three network and not the router or SIM.
As this can't be resolved, I would like to be released from my contract for the mobile broadband. I can live with the issue on my phone as long as the internet in my house is working. I would also like some of my money back as I'm paying for a service that I'm not receiving.
on 14-05-2018 10:21 AM
Hi @Fozzle
Thanks for testing this, so this just happens in your home address of Dublin 6. Have you tried putting the modem in different parts of the house to see where the best signal is?
on 14-05-2018 01:30 PM
Yes, I've tried putting it in different parts of my house.
on 14-05-2018 05:20 PM
I'm going to get our tech team to investigate this further for you @Fozzle. Can you let me know how many signal bars are showing on the modem and whether the light on the modem is constant or fluctuating please? Can you also send me a screenshot of the speeds you're getting?

Shutting Down Hunger
January 22, 2019
*To maintain confidentiality photo is of a Feeding America client - not from story.
"I have worked in a government position for the past 13 years. My two boys, are ages 10 and 18. There are at least 600 people from my building alone that are off work currently, not including contractors who come in and out of the building for special projects, maintenance, cleaning, etc." When asked how she learned about Gleaners, she said "Oh I know all about Gleaners! My kids' school does a food drive for Gleaners every year, and I give money 3-4 times a year. I know the good work done here, but never thought I would need it myself." She said that employees have been given no information on assistance that might be available to them and are trying to work through things on their own. I mentioned assistance with utilities and she said "I didn't even think about that. I bet I could get on a monthly plan." We asked if there was anything she would want people to know about her situation or the shutdown in general. She said: "By the grace of God, I had a little bit of a cushion. I've always been good at a budget and tried to put some away over the years. I'm going into my 3rd missed check now and it is scary to watch my savings dwindle. I'm a lucky one, though. I know people who are living paycheck to paycheck. The timing of this couldn't have been worse. Right before Christmas – everyone had already bought presents and assumed this would either be short or not happen at all." We asked if there was anything she would like to say to Gleaners employees, and she said "Please tell everyone thank you. I was so scared to come here today because I didn't know what to expect. People couldn't have been nicer. I'm shocked that I could have as much milk as I needed, and with 2 boys, I go through a lot of milk. It says a lot that when I called my Congressman's office asking for help, the first place they said was 'Go to Gleaners. They will help you.'"

Tallahassee City Manager Announces Retirement
By Travis Milton
Outlook Writer
After 25 years of service to the Tallahassee community, City Manager Anita Favors Thompson has announced her retirement.
Upon coming to Tallahassee where she first served as the Assistant City Manager and later being appointed as City Manager in 1997, Anita Favors Thompson has made major strides in the Tallahassee community and ultimately helped the capital city grow to what it has become today.
During the many years under the leadership of Favors Thompson, Tallahassee has grown to a population of more than 200,000.
"We've never had a dull moment in all of the many years that I've been here. I don't remember a time where we weren't constructing something or planning for a new building, a new road, a new activity," says Favors Thompson.
Throughout her tenure, Favors Thompson has been a part of various projects such as downtown enhancements to Kleman Plaza, the new construction of Cascades Park, and the recently unveiled FAMU Way among many others.
"What Anita Favors Thompson has done is make herself an icon in the city of Tallahassee. She has ushered a countless amount of projects that have benefitted the whole community," says Leon County Commissioner Nick Maddox.
Effective November 20, 2015, Favors Thompson will leave her final mark in a city in which she has served tirelessly over the past 25 years and the title as Tallahassee's City Manager will all be a memory.
When asked the question if her upcoming retirement was a bittersweet moment, Favors Thompson replied saying, "It's exhilarating to be retiring. The bitter part of it is me leaving friends and many people that I've worked with who've done such a great job over the years."
Among others who can attest to all of the marvelous things that Favors Thompson has done in the capital city is Florida House Representative Alan Williams.
"City Manager Anita Favors Thompson has dedicated her life to this community in a way that will pay dividends for generations to come," says Representative Williams.
Williams goes on to add that with leaders in the community like City Manager Favors Thompson, some state and city officials have learned how to better suit the needs of their constituents and make Tallahassee a wonderful place to call home.
"She has been a source of support, counsel, kind of like a big sister," Rep. Williams said. In the 20 plus year span that Favors-Thompson has been serving in Leon County, the city of Tallahassee has twice been named as an All-America City in 1999 and this year in 2015, the Parks and Recreation Department was named Best in America in 2004, the city was honored as a Green City in 2008 for efforts to preserve and protect its natural resources, along with many other accolades to account for all of the hard work she has put in.
"All of those things have come to fruition over these past 20 plus years, really changing the landscape of this community significantly," Favors Thompson adds.
The city of Tallahassee will forever speak volumes for all of the hard work City Manager Anita Favors Thompson has done.
"The legacy she'll leave behind is one that will never be able to be matched nor replaced. I'm just glad I was able to work with a public servant of her caliber," Maddox stated.

Which Type of IPO Should AVG Use?
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Please go here for the relevant case:
with complete information available here:
What type of IPO should AVG use - a traditional IPO or an online auction? Based on your analysis and findings, what would you recommend to the executives of AVG? Please explain your reasoning in detail.
To answer the above question, please include responses to the following issues together with other issues that you think are important:
-The type of investors AVG is likely to attract
-The lessons learned from Google and Morningstar from their auction IPOs
-Advantages of each type of IPO
-Costs of each type of IPO (e.g., US Securities and Exchange Commission fees, stock brokers' commission, other fees, etc., but how much? Please provide numbers and ratios in the paper.)
-Risks of each type of IPO
Solution Preview
AVG should use an auction IPO to sell its 4,000,000 shares. There will be a total of 9,200,000 shares sold. AVG will sell and receive income on 4,000,000 shares. Existing shareholders of AVG will 4,000,000 shares. The existing shareholders will profit from the sale. Also, the existing shareholders will give the underwriters (investment bankers) an option to purchase 1,200,000 shares to cover fees and allotments. The investment bankers must purchase the shares within 30 days. An auction IPO will allow AVG to earn more money for the business vs. a traditional IPO. The reason for additional money is the fees charged by the investment bankers.
AVG will attract technology investors interested in investing in a multinational company. AVG offers cutting edge security technology to protect personal computers from computer threats. The company is capable of adjusting to security threats on a daily basis. One of the key factors that will attract investors is AVG's employees (The information was obtained at http://www.avg.com/us-en/avg-company-profile 'Company Profile').
Let's examine Google's dutch auction IPO. Google set the IPO price at $85 per share. The stock price range was $85 to $95 per share. Google planned to sell 19.6 million shares. Google raised $1.2 billion in capital from the IPO. Google's share price rose 18 percent to $100.34 per share on the first day of trading. The trading price was improved by the venture capital backers such as: Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sequoia Capital because the companies kept their stake to the company (The information was obtained at http://money.cnn.com/2004/08/19/technology/goog/index.htm 'Google jumps 18% in debut'). Google views the auction IPO a success because Google wanted a larger number of investors to participate in the IPO. From a financial aspect, Google would view the auction IPO a success because more capital was raised because investment bankers charged lower fees. Finally, Google's stock price increased following the IPO, which gave the public ...
Solution Summary
The solution includes a discussion of the types of IPO and which one is suitable for the case at hand given a number of factors like investors, cost and risk. 1302 words with sources linked.

Wally Westmore had a lot to say about how expertly MAE WEST kissed. In 1936, for instance, one of Wally's comments appeared in The Film Daily.
• • If all the stars kissed like Mae West • •
• • "If all the stars kissed like Mae West, my job would be comparatively easy. There's no bank, turn, or wing-over to her kisses — — so there isn't much of a lipstick smudge to repair afterwards," said Wally Westmore. Let's find out more about Mae's stalwart lip-meister.
• • Wally Westmore [13 February 1906 — 3 July 1973] • •
• • Born in England, Walter "Wally" James Westmore added to Great Britain's population on Tuesday, 13 February 1906. Wally was one of the six Westmore brothers, all of whom took the same career path and became notable make-up artists for the motion picture industry. Wally's brothers were Mont, Perc, Ern, Bud, and Frank.
• • Their father was George Westmore [1879 — 1931], born on the Isle of Wight, UK, who mastered the hairdressing trade and gradually expanded into wig-making and make-up. After George and his wife Ada wed in 1901, they had so many children that having an adequate income was always a pressing concern. Seven of their children survived into adulthood including one daughter Dorothy (who died at age 24). The large Westmore clan emigrated to the USA determined to be part of the silent screen excitement.
• • George Westmore felt his destiny should be in the movie business and established the first ever movie make-up department. He also taught his British-born sons Monte, Perc, Ern, and Wally the techniques of the trade. His two youngest American-born sons, Bud [1918 — 1973] and Frank [1923 — 1985] became make-up artists as well.
• • Alas, Ada died in 1924, after 23 years of conjugal bliss, leaving the grieving widower with several kiddies. In 1925, he wed Anita Salazar. His second marriage caused George such misery, he committed suicide in Hollywood in 1931.
• • Wally Westmore was 25 years old when his father swallowed a lethal dose of mercury. His earliest work went uncredited. Despite that, in 1931, he earned recognition. He was hired to do the special make-up effects for "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and his artistry was lauded as groundbreaking. Between 1931 — 1970, Wally Westmore did the make-up for auditions, test shots, and 430 projects for the silver screen and TV. A fatal heart attack brought things to a halt. He died in California on 3 July 1973. He was 67.
• • The Westmores earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Motion Pictures. See it at 1645 Vine Street in Hollywood, California.
• • On Saturday, 22 February 1936 • •
• • Gossip columnist Louella Parsons wrote a short piece "Mae — Studio Clash: Blonde Star Signs Contract with Cohen" and it was printed on Saturday, 22 February 1936 in the Los Angeles Herald Examiner.
• • On Saturday, 22 February 1936 • •
• • The newspaper headline read: "Exciting Racing in Mae West Picture."
• • The Mirror editors wrote: There are some grand and exciting racing sequences in the Buenos Aires scenes of "Now I'm a Lady" (at the Grand soon). And there will be intrigue and plotting and murder. The divine Mae West is stirred. Two songs by Sammy Fain and Irving Kahal, ''Love Is Love" and "He's a Bad Man (But He's Good for Me)," will linger in memory for a long time. Vocalising many will enjoy most is Mae West's rendition of the aria "My Heart Opens at the Sound of Your Voice"' from the opera ''Samson and Delilah."
• • Source: Mirror (Perth, WA) on page 17, Saturday, 22 February 1936.
• • On Saturday, 22 February 1936 • •
• • Newspaper gossip columns ran this teaser: "Mae West May Go Back to Broadway."
• • The item noted: Mae West has written a new play, and it looks as if it will bring her Hollywood career to an end — — at least for the time being. Her film contracts in Hollywood terminate shortly, and she is thinking of appearing in her own play on Broadway, where she was a famous star in the "Diamond Lil" days. Incidentally, that period included the famous prosecution for putting on an alleged indecent play.
• • Source: Mirror (Perth, WA) on page 9, Saturday, 22 February 1936.
• • On Saturday, 22 February 1947 • •
• • The show "Come On Up" starring Mae West closed at the Biltmore Theatre in Los Angeles, California on Saturday, 22 February 1947.
• • In Her Own Words • •
• • Mae West said: "You never hear about good women in history."
• • As she removed some jewelry, Mae West said: "Let me pull some of my harness off and I'll give you a few words of wisdom."
• • Quote, Unquote • •
• • The Film Daily mentioned Mae West.
• • "Musical Airways" by Universal, 10 mins.
• • Film Daily wrote: Lively short studded with novelty. Sybil Bowan takes role of publicity director for trans-Atlantic dirigible company, inviting Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Beatrice Lillie, and Mae West to appear on airship's entertainment program. When they decline, Sybil pinch-hits for them, impersonating each. She also acts as M.C. for three groups of entertainers, Cappy Barra's Harmonica Swing Ensemble; Audrey and Wesley Catri, youthful dancers; and Four Eton Boys, a smooth pop quartet. It's diverting stuff. ...

- Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner, Nick Jonas, and Priyanka Chopra went to the US Open together on Tuesday evening in New York.
- They were on hand to watch Serena Williams and Karolina Pliskova participate in the tennis tournament's quarterfinal match.
- After Nick shared a selfie of the group at the game, fans took to Twitter to gush over the couples.
Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner, Nick Jonas, and Priyanka Chopra attended the US Open together — and fans took to social media to gush over them.
The pairs were seen inside New York's Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday night as Serena Williams played Karolina Pliskova. During the match, the engaged couples showed an array of emotions, from surprise to concern.
They also took time to snap a selfie, which was later posted online.
—Nick Jonas (@nickjonas) September 5, 2018
Fans immediately commented on the photo, expressing their delight over the two relationships.

Chopra's mother, Madhu Chopra, also joined them at the tournament. Since the US Open started in late August, it has been attended by several celebrities, including Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, Ben Stiller, Michael Keaton, Hugh Jackman, and Paul Wesley.
Joe and Turner revealed their engagement in October 2017 and hosted a star-studded party to celebrate. It's unclear when Nick and Priyanka started dating, but the engagement was confirmed by the "Quantico" actress in early August. Following the news, Turner was quick to welcome Priyanka to the family.
"Wow. First I'm blessed with an incredible future brother-in-law, and now such an beautiful, inside and out, future sister-in-law," Turner wrote in the caption. "I'm so excited to welcome you into the family [Priyanka Chopra]. I love you both."
Most recently, Nick and Chopra headed to India to celebrate their engagement with their families. Neither couple has revealed details about their upcoming weddings.

This 14yr Mn DLH cat had a history of intermittent faecal bleeding, unresponsive to medical management. On ultrasound of the descending colon this mass was projecting into the lumen, with disruption of the colonic wall layering. The sub-lumbar lymph nodes were not enlarged. Further cranially there was a second smaller mass attached by a stalk, which was more consistent with a polyp.

Program closed but open trades final price is wrong
I opened a trade for bitcoin cash Saturday morning and over the day it crashed being -$3000
I charted it and knew it would climb back up to where I bought in
My program closed Sunday 7am and the price of bch was the same as what I bought it.
My program closed with -$3000 bch trade.
Crypto trades 24/7 so why is it not break even on the trade history, this doesnt show the accurate (transparency) as it doesn't reflect market price at the time.
Something need to be done to allow crypto trading all weekend or taking market value as program closes
Space trade by samz has not returned investment tokens after program has closed
Title says it all
I was finally able to get an investment accepted. At the end of the investment period my profit it showed my GVT profit but there was no breakdown of amount invested, total profit, fees deducted, net profit. Will that be coming?
Without being accepted into any programs (except for 1 with 0 trades) I now have 136 GVTs
I've only been accepted into 1 program thus far, and this manager didn't perform any trades. Still my balance shows as 135 GVTs. A small portion of the profit comes from a drop in GVT value while I held manager tokens, but this cannot account for the whole 35 GVT profit. Due to my wallet is filled up with many transactions from failed investments attempts I am struggling to see where the error is.
Internal Transfer Transaction Details (Exchange Rate)
Can you include the market QUOTE next to the rate. in parenthesis
1USDt = 0.000012345BTC (BTCUSDt 8888.50)
This would be more user friendly
Referral Program Statistics ( there are none)
There are no statistics for the Referral programs. As an affiliate we need statistics otherwise we don't know if the payouts are accurate.
Dear Client,
We really appreciate the time you took to think about it, and we find it to be very helpful. We are glad to inform you that we have decided to take into your advice and implement it. We have now added referral statistics to GM accounts. Thank you for your valuable feedback and cooperation!
Best Regards,
GV Team.
I have withdrawn some GVT from the platform to Binance and I have not received my GVT and no transaction appears when I check etherscan.
Going into USDT
as a manager trading in BTC pair - all GVT converts into BTC - however
due to this huge drop, i would of liked to have moved into USDT and then
re-buy back into BTC. however i keep getting errors when ive tried to do so, any
reason to this?
Numbers do not add upp seems like I miss some GVT
btc trade hasnt processed into manager space
did a final trade before close yesterday evening and set SL & TP.
today i can see the trade hit SL at 03:14 this morning, but underneath it is a -2727 figure??
in the manager portal the numbers are not shown??

Senators present plan to change member stipends
Undergraduate Student Government Senator Kate Oh and Executive Director of the Academic Culture Assembly Luis Vidalon-Suzuki presented a plan to change the way stipends are determined for USG members at the Senate meeting on Tuesday.
The stipend is the compensation students receive for serving as an elected or appointed USG official. Under Title X, all USG officials are currently paid by a predetermined stipend that is specific to their position. Oh and Vidalon-Suzuki proposed to pay all USG officials by an hourly rate, determined by the minimum wage of Los Angeles County. In 2018, minimum wage is expected to increase to $13.25 per hour.
According to Oh and Vidalon-Suzuki, the proposal is part of an effort to make USG more accessible to students, especially those who cannot afford to take an unpaid position or a position that is not at least minimum wage.
"Right now, USG boasts about being diverse and being accessible to students, but it clearly isn't," Vidalon-Suzuki said.
While next year's administration has complete discretion over how to allocate funds if the new stipend system is passed, USG Vice President Austin Dunn stressed that a joint effort between the current administration and next year's administration will be vital to its success.
The cost of the new stipend program will fluctuate per year, depending on the number of USG members elected. However, Vidalon-Suzuki estimated that the program will call for $54,489 more than the current budget. If the new stipend system is passed, the USG President's salary will decrease by about $2,000, and the USG Vice President's salary will decrease by about $845.
"During the [USG] Presidential election, accessibility and having students [in USG who] reflect the student body were hot topics," Vidalon-Suzuki said. "We think this is a perfect way to do so."
The proposal will be voted on at next week's USG meeting.

a beach cottage kitchen update
Tue 17th, Nov, 2015
Aloha from Sydney beach cottage friends, it's a lovely but windy day here on the beaches, I'm sitting in the Summer Room with a nice coffee and open windows…looking out at that blue Aussie sky which still makes me smile and its contrast against the bright green of the wisteria leaves… and a tree which I do not know the name of but it has little droopy berries falling from the bottom and hangs so nicely, almost like a tree in England I used to sit and look at when my babies were small.
I posted this pic on instagram the other day and realised that I hadn't really been very good at posting about our temporary kitchen makeover (you can see these units when they were just put in here)….I don't know why really because it's a million times better than what we were living with…anyhow this is as far as we've got, I will do a post on the floor and share the nightmares of that soon…let's just say I wouldn't be recommending to anyone using milk paint on your floor (and do NOT believe what they say on the back of the can) unless you are getting the professionals in to do it (which we didn't as this kitchen is a mini makeover until we get the plans drawn up and start knocking out walls here, adding doors and building decks etc…).
This kitchen is not as I would have chosen to put in (not digging the black marble tbh), but infinitely better than what it was like when we moved in (go here if you can stomach it and have a look)….awful was only the way to describe it and it felt so unhygienic which if you examined it it probably wasn't because it had been disinfected, bleached and steamed into within an inch of its life, but, well, if you have ever seen walls crawling alive with a cockroach infestation as we did then I don't think you'll ever really think it's clean until walls are painted, cupboards are replaced and there are new worktops and sinks…and you have exhausted Manly of its bleach supply.
The units we had made have been full of problems (sorry but won't be recommending them – from the ordering to the delivery to the actual workmanship, not impressed) but in terms of financial investment it wasn't too bad and the payoff for having this interim kitchen which is clean and somewhat better looking than what we were living with is worth it.
Other bits and bobs we've done to make it a bit more attractive and liveable – under unit lighting was fitted by my lovely husband, I clamped a clampy lamp from the Swedish Boutique to one of the units and also from that same place the pendant lights were installed and we put up white blinds…we also put up some magnetic knife racks and have some shelves waiting to go in – it's quite amazing what a difference the little bits and pieces make to a working kitchen…I've been happily in here doing lovely roast dinners, baking and trying new recipes…so that's a very good thing…you know when you are happy in a kitchen when you start to potter…
Rightio, I am off, I have a beautiful girl to get ready for formal and a beach to go exercise one's gluteus maximus on
p.s. all the posts on this kitchen from before to now are here if you missed them xo

Agents will see a stream of new product from both Travel 2 and Gold Medal ahead of 2017. Director of sales and marketing Gordon McCreadie distils the key information for Rob Gill
Travel 2 is to launch its first standalone cruise brochure later this year in response to agent demand for long-haul holidays incorporating cruise itineraries.
The trade-only operator is currently in the middle of releasing its brochures for 2017, which are being published at the rate of one brochure per month.
Sister operator Gold Medal is adopting a different strategy with all 10 brochures due to be released on December 8, followed by its upmarket brand Pure Luxury a week later.
Travel 2 has already released Florida, Middle East & Indian Ocean, Asia and Africa brochures, while the Simply Luxury brochure came out last month featuring 21 new hotels across the world.
Gordon McCreadie, director of sales and marketing, Gold Medal and Travel 2, says: "We have featured little bits of cruise in other brochures but this will be the first time we will have a standalone cruise brochure for Travel 2.
"It's down to demand from agents. We've had a dedicated cruise team in Glasgow for a couple of years and from a standing start we suddenly started making millions of pounds in sales."
Travel 2 will be featuring cruise lines such as Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean International, P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises in the brochure, which will purely focus on long-haul itineraries and will not feature any European voyages.
"It will all be long-haul with the cruise being part of a bigger itinerary, which might include a couple of nights in a city and a land-based tour," explains McCreadie. "We will offer destinations like Asia, Australia and Latin America.
"They will be bespoke experiences where a cruise of seven to 10 days could be included in an itinerary of up to four or five weeks."
Travel 2 is also adding Ryanair flights to its Simply Luxury short-haul programme, with the brochure due out in January 2017.
"There's demand for this from agents because some airports, such as Stansted and Prestwick, are only really served by Ryanair," says McCreadie.
"Customers want to fly from their local airports so are prepared to book a Ryanair flight and then spend more on better quality accommodation and maybe get a suite."
Another development, which will apply across both Travel 2 and Gold Medal programmes, is to only include hotels within brochures that have a minimum rating of at least four stars on TripAdvisor.
"Customers are using TripAdvisor and will check the ratings of any hotel their agent books for them," adds McCreadie. "We want agents to be able to recommend anything with 100% confidence and that their customers won't see horror reviews."
In Florida, Travel 2 has added more theme park options from both Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, plus the new destinations of Daytona Beach and Marco Island.
"We have a stronger offering from Disney as part of the Gold Medal and Travel 2 brands coming together," says McCreadie.
Sales to the Middle East have risen by 44% year-on-year, primarily driven by strong Dubai bookings, while the fellow emirate of Ras Al Khaimah has benefited from increased all-inclusive sales for "budget-conscious" customers.
Travel 2's Asia programme is being bolstered by the addition of 30 new hotels – mostly in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. While eight properties have been added to the Africa brochure, which are primarily in South Africa and east Africa.
The US & Canada brochure will be released this month, followed by Australia & New Zealand in November, and Caribbean & Latin America in December.
McCreadie does not buy into the idea the end of the brochure is nigh, adding the two brands plan to "print as many brochures as last year".
"There's always talk about the death of the brochure but we don't see that happening," he says. "Brochures are evolving in their look and feel – they are becoming more image-led and selling the destination.
"Customers still like to have something tangible to take away with them and agents still use them to close the sale."
Extra agent booking incentives for both Travel 2 and Gold Medal are running through September to the end of October, giving agents the chance to secure more rewards through their respective loyalty schemes, T2 Rewards and Gold Medal's Farebank.

Not many things look better in the garden than a beautifully manicured hedge.
Hedge trimming is our specialty. No matter the size, we've got all the equipment we need to get the job done and to the highest of standards.
A light tip prune on a semi-regular basis is what we recommend for most hedges to keep them looking their best, but we can also take care of overgrown beasts which need pulling back in to line!
Rose care and pruning are also a staple for us, and if it's a regular job of ours, we will make sure your gardens get the right fertilisers at the right time of year too, which will see your plants and flowers flourish in colour!

Scholarship Winner for 2016-2017
Erika Gutierrez
Public Policy and Administration major | Psychology minor
"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place". –Nora Roberts
"I am a first generation student with two immigrant parents who have instilled in me the importance of having an education from a very young age. They have always encouraged and supported my decision on what I've wanted to study as long as it was something that I truly wanted. I was able to learn and expand my interests through this program. From my very first political science class, I was convinced that Public Policy and Administration was the right major for me. Every professor inspired and motivated me to do well in class. I am very appreciative to the Politics, Policy, and Administration Department for offering this scholarship and picking me to be a recipient. Thank you."
Timothy DeMichele, current student
Public Policy and Administration major | Philosophy minor
"Studying primarily in Political Science then Public Policy and Administration disciplines, my journey through Western Oregon University can be summarized in three paradoxes. First, while narrowing my learning from broad political states and world peace to administrative procedures and collective bargaining agreements, my approach to problem solving has broadened. Second, while challenging my faith in God in the classroom, the faculty in the Liberal Arts Departments have absolutely supported me and mentored me toward my goals. Third, as opinionated as I am, WOU gave me opportunities to voice my views in many formats and the faculty has graciously listened to and engaged me.
Immediately after Winter Term 2016, I will be entering full time employment in Oregon in local government or an education field. My goals are to teach English in Laos, earn a Master's in Education, teach and administrate in a Hawaii school, and serve as a public official someday.
To all of the WOU faculty and staff who have made my education possible: thank you all for your selfless service and sense of responsibility to teach people. I am very grateful to you. To students who are contemplating which major to choose: I encourage you to commit to the Political Science and/or Public Policy and Administration majors because you will hear of the need for good civic leaders in many fields and you will be equipped to fulfill such roles."
Scholarship Winner for 2014-2015:
Jill Gentry
Previous scholarship winner for 2013-14:
Anthony Medina, WOU alumnus
Public Policy and Administration major | Sociology minor
"I grew up in a small rural farm-working town that was predominantly Latino. I, along with many of my other classmates, were first in our families to go to college. Through the Public Policy and Administration program at Western, I have been able to grow personally and professionally."
Following his time at Western Oregon University, Anthony obtained a MA from Stanford University in 2015. He has now started working for the Department of Administrative Services in the Chief Financial Office as an Assistant Budget and Policy Analyst. His main job duties involve the drafting of the Governor's Recommended Budget and presenting agency budgets in his portfolio to the legislature.

29th of May, 2017 – Vienna – The Vienna-based hardware startup Robo Wunderkind, which develops modular programmable robots for young children, is partnering with Chinook's Edge Division School in Alberta to introduce coding and robotics workshops for children in this area. The company's objective is to give Canadian kids a chance to learn coding and robotics in a fun and simple way.
Early childhood, which spans the period up to 8 years of age, is critical for cognitive, social, emotional and physical development. The skills kids will learn in this age will to a great extent determine their lives. This is why Rustem, founder of Robo Wunderkind, decided that kids should grow up building and programming robots.
"We need to prepare our kids for this future and give them the tools to learn about new technologies. As forecasted by the Canadian Information and Communications Technology Council, over 182,000 critical ICT positions in Canada will be left unfilled by 2019, with the number growing year by year. Now is the time to train children for the digital jobs of the future, and we see an enormous potential in the young Canadian generation." – Rustem Akishbekov, CEO and founder of Robo Wunderkind.
Robo Wunderkind will begin its presence in Canada from the Chinook's Edge Division School in Alberta: the school will be the first milestone in spreading into the Canadian market. Later this year, Robo Wunderkind will be used in schools in Ontario and British Columbia to teach children the world of technology, robots and coding.
With Robo Wunderkind, kids can just snap the modules together in different configurations to build their creation. Once the robot is built, it can be programmed in an app, which uses a graphical drag and drop style programming. No prior coding or even reading knowledge is necessary. Kids will easily create personalized virtual dashboards and control their creations to solve mazes, go on treasure hunts, play music, navigate around obstacles – the possibilities are endless.
What is special about Robo Wunderkind:
There is already a huge following in the educators community watching the launch of this innovative new product for early coders:
"Robo Wunderkind introduces the younger students to authentic 21st-century skills."
Ken Willers, Principal of the Madeleine School, Berkeley, California
The beautifully designed robotics kits were already pre-ordered from more than 60 countries, including Canada, and demand is growing. They are available for pre-orders on their website with shipping planned for later this year.
Images and video can be found here.
About Robo Wunderkind
Rustem Akishbekov founded Robo Wunderkind and brought Anna Iarotska and Yuri Levin on board in 2013. The company is based in Vienna, Austria, and maintains an office in Shenzhen, China. In the last three years, the founders have gathered a team of passionate engineers and designers dedicated to the vision of making coding and robotics accessible to everyone. Their first product is an educational robot that syncs with intuitive mobile applications to help children understand the basics of programming. Robo Wunderkind was part of the world's first and largest hardware accelerator HAX in 2014 and Finalist of TechCrunch Disrupt SF Startup Battlefield in 2015.
