The inside story on finding the capital your business needs to grow.

When it comes to finding capital--and the right investors for your business--entrepreneurs need all the help they can get. Brian Hill and Dee Power spent three years surveying 250 venture capital firms to find out what venture capitalists look for when putting their money in young businesses. Their results will give you all the tools you need to make smart decisions and avoid pitfalls and unnecessary risks, including:

* How to create and present a business plan to investors

* Profiles of venture capitalists in action

* Enlightening true tales in venture capital

* How to organize a quality management team to attract investors

* The truth about referrals

* Tips on valuing your company realistically

* Doing due diligence: scams, vultures, and bottom feeders

* Negotiating the best terms for you and your business

Inside Secrets to Venture Capital will show you what it takes to attract the investors and the money you need to grow. It's everything you need to know to play the venture capital game--and win . . .

From the Inside Flap:

No voodoo rituals . . . No mumbo jumbo . . . Just the facts on finding the investors and the capital your business needs to prosper
The entrepreneurial road is a tough one to follow—full of setbacks, unforeseen perils, and the fear of all-too-possible failure. Your business needs capital to grow, but finding that capital can be difficult and stressful. You need straightforward advice, sensible insight, and reassurance that the process can work for you.

For fifteen years Brian Hill and Dee Power have assisted small and mid-sized companies with strategies for finding capital. They understand the venture capital world and why it seems confusing, contrary, and frustrating. Entrepreneurs worry that they won’t be able to find the capital they need to prosper, that they will fall victim to an unfair deal with a shady partner, or that they will lose control of their business to their investors. This book addresses those concerns with straightforward advice and real answers.

The authors spent three years collecting data, opinions, and statistics from more than 250 venture capital firms, including some of the world’s largest. This book showcases those results in the actual words of the venture capitalists themselves. In Inside Secrets to Venture Capital you will find a wide range of opinions and a wealth of candid comments to help make sense of this sometimes maddening process.

You will find hundreds of tips, pieces of advice, and pitfalls to avoid, as well as comments and opinions from entrepreneurs who have successfully raised capital for their businesses. You will learn how to create and present a business plan to investors, how to organize a quality management team to attract investors, and how to do due diligence and avoid scams and rip-offs. Inside, you will find enlightening true adventures in venture capital, tips on valuing your company realistically, and advice on negotiating the best terms for your business.

So get inside the world of venture capital—and learn what it takes to attract the investors and the money you need to grow.

Is Kindle (Wi-Fi) or Kindle 3G (Free 3G + Wi-Fi) right for me?

Kindle (Wi-Fi) is a great choice if you already have a high-speed internet connection and wireless router set up in your home and do not need the added convenience of a 3G connection. 3G enables you to download books anytime, anywhere, while on the go. If you do not have Wi-Fi set up in your home, Kindle 3G may be a better option.

Kindle 3G (Free 3G + Wi-Fi) is the easiest option because there is no wireless setup—you are ready to shop, purchase, and read right out of the box. Built-in Free 3G connectivity uses the same wireless signals that cell phones use, but there are no monthly fees or commitments—Amazon pays for Kindle’s 3G wireless connectivity. The added convenience of 3G enables you to download books anytime, anywhere, while on the go—without having to find a Wi-Fi hotspot connection. With wireless coverage in over 100 countries and territories, Kindle 3G is a great option for travelers. Check 3G coverage area.

All-New Design:

Lighter & Thinner - Only 8.7 Ounces
When reading for long periods of time, we know that weight matters. That’s why we worked hard to make our newest Kindle lighter than ever – only 8.7 ounces – so you can read comfortably for hours with just one hand. Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback, and thinner than a magazine. Just a third of an inch in profile, Kindle fits perfectly in your hands.

Ergonomic Design:

Kindle is easy to hold and read. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages from any position. The new soft-touch, textured back is comfortable to hold and never gets hot in your hands.

Never Gets Hot:

Unlike a laptop or tablet, Kindle never gets hot so you can read comfortably as long as you like.

Simple to Use, No Computer Required:

Unlike most electronic devices, we wanted to keep Kindle simple. Kindle is wireless and ready to use right out of the box – no setup, no software to install, no computer required.

Long Battery Life - Up to Two Months:

Battery Life of Up to Two Months.
A single charge lasts up to two months with wireless off based upon a half-hour of daily reading time. If you read for one hour a day, you will get battery life of up to one month.

Keep wireless always on and it lasts for up to 10 days. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store, web browsing, and downloading content. In low-coverage areas or in EDGE/GPRS-only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly.

Charge Via USB:

Kindle ships with a U.S. power adapter and a micro-USB cable for charging your Kindle from a computer USB port. The U.S. power adapter supports voltages 100V-240V.

Included in the box:

Kindle wireless reader
U.S. power adapter
(supports 100V-240V)
USB 2.0 cable
(for connection to the Kindle power adapter or to connect to a computer.)

Detailed account of film's production by historian David Pierce.

Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com

Harry Pollard's epic 1927 version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's landmark novel Uncle Tom's Cabin was one of the most expensive silent films ever made. James B. Lowe, whose composure, dignity, and gentleness suggest a silent-era Danny Glover, stars as kindly Tom, the slave ripped from his family to pay his master's debt, but the film favors the more sensational melodrama of the married light-skinned couple Eliza and George and their son Harry (all played by white performers), split up and sold to the highest bidder.

Pollard, a Southerner himself, maintains an uneasy balance between a sentimental portrayal of a happy Dixie with smiling slaves and a land where humans are bought and sold like cattle to wicked, money-grubbing masters. The exaggerated performances and stereotypes have not aged well and Pollard shows a weakness for broad Victorian melodrama, but the film boasts many moving moments and nail-biting sequences, highlighted by Eliza's harrowing escape across the ice floes as hounds literally nip at her heels. (A staple of the many touring stage productions of the play, D.W. Griffith borrowed the scene for the climax of Way Down East.)

Uncle Tom's Cabin is more interesting as a product of its era than any serious attempt to explore the evils of slavery, but it's an exciting, handsomely mounted picture. Kino's restored edition features the original Movietone score by Erno Rapee, complete with sound effects and songs.

The DVD also features a detailed and informative essay by historian David Pierce, an extensive collection of stills, promotional materials, and music cue sheets, and details of cuts made to the film, including two deleted scenes that are among the best moments the film has to offer. --Sean Axmaker.

Product Description:

Thirty years before Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, the antislavery movement won its first victory in the British Parliament. On August 1, 1834, the Abolition of Slavery Bill took effect, ending colonial slavery throughout the British Empire.

Over the next three decades, "August First Day," also known as "West India Day" and "Emancipation Day," became the most important annual celebration of emancipation among people of African descent in the northern United States, the British Caribbean, Canada West, and the United Kingdom and played a critical role in popular mobilization against American slavery.

In Rites of August First, J. R. KerrRitchie provides the first detailed analysis of the origins, nature, and consequences of this important commemoration that helped to shape the age of AngloAmerican emancipation.
Combining social, cultural, and political history, KerrRitchie discusses the ideological and cultural representations of August First Day in print, oratory, and visual images.

Spanning the Western hemisphere, KerrRitchie successfully unravels the cultural politics of emancipation celebrations, analyzing the social practices informed by public ritual, symbol, and spectacle designed to elicit feelings of common identity among blacks in the Atlantic World.

Rites of August First shows how and why the commemorative events changed between British emancipation and the freeing of slaves in the United States a generation later, while also examining the connections among local, regional, and international commemorations.

While shedding light on an important black institution that has been long ignored, Rites of August First also contributes to the broader study of emancipation and black Atlantic identity. Its transnational approach challenges local and national narratives that have largely shaped previous investigations of these questions.

KerrRitchie shows how culture and community were truly political at this important historical moment and, most broadly, how politics and culture converge and profoundly influence each other. AUTHOR BIO: J. R. KerrRitchie is an associate professor of history at Howard University in Washington, D.C., and the author of Freedpeople in the Tobacco South: Virginia, 1860–1900. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Apple iPhone 4 Black Smartphone 32GB (AT&T) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I was in the computer/design/manufacturing business for 20 years, and this is by far the most amazing piece of technology I have ever seen or imagined. Even the battery life is 3x better than the previous model, and thats a good thing cause its integrated but a full charge should yield and entire days work of calls, emails, surfing the web, SMS messaging, and play. I no longer need my laptop cause there's nothing I cant do with the iPhone, and that includes sending faxes, editing Excel or Word documents, and even printing. A flash for the 5MP camera, an HD video camera, and even real time video conferencing over a wireless network, and Bluetooth that unlike the 3G model is actually compatible with everything you throw at it, including Garmin GPS....just amazing. This thing even has 2 mics with noise suppression so calls are clearer on the other end. Man, Apple hit this one out of the park.

Values-Based Financial Planning:

The Art of Creating an Inspiring Financial Strategy is an interesting tool for the financial services professional. At first glance it appears to be a "Layperson's Guide" or a "How To Book" for financial planning. However, upon further review one finds a useful organizational tool for pre-financial planning.

Bachrach's approach uses a combination of goals and values to assist clients in creating an organizational system that can be used later to seek financial planning advice. From the practitioner's stand point it is a win-win situation.

Potential clients are programmed to be organized and to seek financial planners rather than salespersons. On the other hand, practitioners may use the volume to educate clients and create an appropriate mental attitude.

A road map and case-type examples are included in the book, both of which are valuable learning techniques. Attaching values to goal setting is a reasonable and inspirational process. This is a new approach to an "Old School" style of financial planning.

This book marches the reader through the very practical issues that affect value.' (Financial Times, November 2010).

Product Description:

An accessible guide to the essential issues of corporate finance.

While you can find numerous books focused on the topic of corporate finance, few offer the type of information managers need to help them make important decisions day in and day out.

Filled with in-depth insights from experts at McKinsey & Company, this reliable resource takes a much more qualitative approach to what the authors consider a lost art.

Discusses the four foundational principles of corporate finance.
Effectively applies the theory of value creation to our economy.

Examines ways to maintain and grow value through mergers, acquisitions, and portfolio management.

Addresses how to ensure your company has the right governance, performance measurement, and internal discussions to encourage value-creating decisions.

A perfect companion to the Fifth Edition of Valuation, this book will put the various issues associated with corporate finance in perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shake and slow dance with Otis's best, June 19, 2005
By Daniel J. Hamlow (Narita, Japan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME) This review is from: The Very Best of Otis Redding (Audio CD)

Though his first hit, "These Arms of Mine" only peaked at #83 in 1963, it wasn't until 1965 that Otis Redding's career began to make headway. With his gritty soulful pipes, and soul music accompanied by a brass section and a strong rhythm section on those foot-stomping numbers, his brief impact on the music scene hinted at things to come had he not died aged 26.

The slow-dance of "I've Been Lovin' You Too Long" is simply heartwarming, nice for the last dance of the evening. His first Top 40 hit reached #21.

Redding describes "Respect" as a song taken away from him by a certain girl. While his version charted at #35 on the pop charts and #4 on the R&B, that certain girl, a Ms. Aretha Franklin, took it to #1 for two weeks (pop) and four times that long on the R&B charts. But Otis's original still has that original stomping rhythm in it.

Ditto for "I Can't Turn You Loose," a #11 R&B hit that deserved better on the pop charts. Small wonder the Chamber Bros. covered it the year after he died. And "Mr. Pitiful," which barely missed the Top 40, has a shaking funky rhythm that would presage early 70's style soul.

Though a #6 hit for Ted Lewis in 1933, Otis Redding's version of the tender "Try A Little Tenderness" made it to #25, (R&B #4), higher than the other covers of the rock & roll era, though Three Dog Night came close with it in 1969 at #29. Rod Stewart did his hand of it on his Out of Order album.

He and Carla Thomas duet and rap with each other in "Tramp," where she gives him a hard time about his clothing and haircut, about how he's too country and not cosmopolitan. But he's okay with it, and holds his own. There is a brief horn melody that the Beatles later used or may have used in the "Hey la hey la hello-a" section that closes "Hello Goodbye."

His performance at the Monterey Pop Festival (June 1967) was considered to be one of the highlights, as Michelle Phillips, one of MPF's prime organizers, saw Otis as THE reason she wanted the festival in the first place. He performed a cover of the Stones' "Satisfaction," which had reached #31 a year prior. His version featured a brass arrangements, making his version an interesting contrast to the original. He also did a rousing cover of Sam Cooke's "Shake" and reached out successfully to the flower power crowd. Seeing the footage of him at Monterey doing this song made me want to get his music.

It was thus unbelievable that he only had six months left to live after Monterey. He then recorded a song quite different from his usual oeuvre. Three days later, he and four members of the Bar-Kays died in a plane crash on 10 December 1967.

The track, the brooding and reflective "Sitting On The Dock of the Bay," became his only #1 pop hit, three months after he recorded it, and staying there for four weeks, also spending three weeks atop the R&B charts. Countless others, including the Dells, Sammy Hagar, and notorious R&B song shredder Michael Bolton have covered it, but Otis's version remains the most respected and brightest. I first heard this in Top Gun, when Tom Cruise explains to Kelly McGillis how it was his mother's favourite song.

Of his other posthumous singles, "The Happy Song" reached #25, and is a return to his usual style, while "I've Got Dreams To Remember" featuring a nice female backing chorus, fits in with his slow songs a la "I've Been Loving You Too Long" and "Try A Little Tenderness."

What would Reddings' career have been like had he survived? His success at Monterey hinted at bigger things, definitive crossover potential, though among the R&B pantheon, he still would've faced stiff competition from Motown artists like the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, and the Temptations. Very Best Of is just that, a reminder of what was and what might have been. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars All the Otis Redding one could want., January 24, 2001
By Eric V. Moye (New York, by way of Dallas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: The Very Best of Otis Redding (Audio CD)
Listening to this great CD will compel one incontrovertable conclusion: Otis Redding died way too young. Heaven only knows what wonderful songs we could be enjoying today, had his plane not crashed back in 1967.
But thankfully, listen we can, to some phenominal music from that too-short career. He could burn down the house (as he did in Monterrey) with cuts like "I Can't Turn You Loose", "Satisfaction" and of course "Respect". He could also croon with some of the most deeply soulful love songs, like "Pain in my Heart", and the incomparable "I've Been Lovin' You Too Long To Stop Now". There is no need to mention "Dock of the Bay" recorded just three days before his death. Words are inadequate to describe that song.

This is a must have CD. Too many are now recorded as the "Best of", but this is one which really deserves that moniker.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!, March 24, 2000
By A Customer

This review is from: The Very Best of Otis Redding (Audio CD)
I ordered this CD after hearing and falling in love with "My Lover's Prayer". "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" had always been a favorite of mine as well, so I decided to order the CD. What an amazing voice Otis Redding has! Not only can he belt out a tune, but the feeling and emotion that he puts behind each and every lyric are inspiring. I feel his pain, his joy, his love, ETC. so clearly as a result of that beautiful voice. The music is jazzy and well performed as well. I will buy more of his stuff.

this (2) items came to me in "perfect" condition - however the delivery time was almost 21 days - a bit long for an "in stock" item.
other than that - no problem...

Focus:

Elevating the Essentials to Radically Improve Student Learning

Editorial Reviews

Review

Few writers on education ever get close to the clarity provided by Mike Schmoker. He is a pleasure to read, but always makes me angry. I keep thinking, why can't the rest of us see schools this clearly? In this book, he blows me away. He identifies the faddism that keeps killing our schools, and tells us precisely what educators must do--just a few simple things, but difficult because they contradict what the crowd thinks is right. Read it and be amazed, and frustrated, and motivated to do something to fix this mess. --Jay Mathews, education columnist for the Washington Post and author of Work Hard.

Be Nice:

How Two Inspired Teachers Created the Most Promising Schools in America

Once again, Mike Schmoker takes a wide array of complex concepts and initiatives and weaves them into a framework that is not only easily understood but translates into immediate action. --Robert J. Marzano, C.E.O. of Marzano Research Laboratory and author of The Art and Science of Teaching: A Comprehensive Framework for Effective Instruction

In an age where teachers are forced into the unrealistic pursuit of unobtainable standards, finally, a book emerges that cuts through the noise and helps us return to sensible, authentic teaching. Focus: Elevating the Essentials for Radically Improved Student Learning is insightful, practical, and, above all else, inspiring--a must read for all teachers, administrators, board members, and policymakers. Reading this book has made me a better, more reflective teacher. --Kelly Gallagher, educator and author of Readicide: How Schools Are Killing Reading and What You Can Do About It

Product Description

Bestselling author Mike Schmoker describes a plan for radically improving student learning that is built on three core elements: a focused and coherent curriculum (what we teach); clear, prioritized lessons (how we teach); and purposeful reading and writing, or authentic literacy. With this "less is more" philosophy, educators can help students learn content at a deeper level, develop greater critical thinking skills, and discover more clearly how content-area concepts affect their lives and the world around them. Both a call to action and a blueprint for creating more effective classrooms, Focus: Elevating the Essentials for Radically Improved Student Learning will challenge your assumptions about schooling and show how educators who have embraced this approach quickly achieved spectacular results.

Product Information

On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence gave America life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Drafted mainly by Thomas Jefferson and edited by Benjamin Franklin, it granted the American colonies freedom from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Some of its inspiration and wording was taken directly from the writings of English philosopher John Locke.

This high-quality art print is expertly produced to capture the vivid color and exceptional detail of the original.

The company that sold this item would not sell just one copy from their website, but through Amazon, I was able to purchase a single copy. This was a really important piece of information for a project in a college class, so I needed it to be a good-quality copy. It came in a cardboard mailing tube on the outside and was in a clear acrylic tube inside the mailer. The quality of the piece is excellent and the paper feels authentic.
