Starting and Growing Your Own Business with Minimal Risk

Contrary to popular belief, most entrepreneurs don't like risk. While they are not afraid to take chances, the most successful entrepreneurs do what they can to anticipate, minimize, and offset risk at every opportunity, insists Bob Reiss, who in his own flourishing entrepreneurial career has managed to turn risk reduction into a science. Now this successful self-starter, whose exploits have been featured in The Wall Street Journal and have become case studies for Harvard Business School classes, shares the lessons of a lifetime. By following his own prescription for managing risk, and using real-life success stories from experienced entrepreneurs, Reiss covers every obstacle the entrepreneur is likely to encounter. Where do ideas come from and how do you get started? Where can you find money and expert advice? How do you hire the best people and build credibility? How do you get orders and reorders? How do you develop and introduce successful products? Should you go public? Through every step in the process, Reiss emphasizes how risk can be anticipated, managed, and significantly reduced. Full of practical suggestions and insights, this easy-to-read book is an indispensable guide for anyone thinking about starting a business and particularly for those would-be entrepreneurs without experience or much capital. It is equally valuable to entrepreneurs looking for ways to make their businesses more successful.

pemeluknya harus menerimanya berdasarkan logika dan penelitian (agama itu

Money in Islam

A Study in Islamic Political Economy

This volume takes a unique and challenging look at how money has operated in Islamic society and at how Islamic theoretical frameworks have influenced perceptions of money. The author draws upon historical, data and policy analysis to present a comparative study of monetary theories, including recent treatment of money by Islamic economists. Discussion also covers the nature of joint venture, stock markets, banks and financial intermediaries, price stability and international trade. This work sheds pioneering light in this area, and will be of interest to academics, graduates and researchers internationally.

There is also no method of isolating the rate of interest from the rate of profit in the
theory of roundaboutness of production (Sraffa 1960, Bohm-Bawerk [1889] 1891)
. It is not possible to isolate the subjective elements from the exogenous
determination of time-preference rates (Robinson 1961). There is no
independent price of money as interest rate in the money market, which the
monetarists and the Keynesians would have us believe (Cagan 1989). Thus
there can then be no concept ...

The Great Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Holmes returns!—in five ingenious new novellalength tales featuring the Great Detective. Once again the game is afoot, in these highly original stories featuring Sherlock Holmes at the height of his powers. Crossing historical fact with inventive fiction, the master of pastiche Donald Thomas plunges Holmes into London’s Siege of Sidney Street, where he ratiocinates alongside Winston Churchill in obstructing an anarchist’s assassination plot led by ‘Peter the Painter.’ In the next adventure, Holmes and Watson are confounded by the Riddle of the Zimmerman Telegram during World War I, as Holmes must employ all his wits to defeat a plan for a German-led invasion of the United States. In other mystifying tales of detection, Sherlock Holmes searches for the treasures of King John, lost in 1216. Foiling a foul extortion attempt, Holmes and Watson aid in discovering Lord Byron’s epic poem evoking his secret journey to Virginia. Finally the great detective, in a bravura performance, confronts a supernatural curse in “Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime.” Donald Thomas has published forty books, including poetry, fiction, biography and true crime. A stage-play based on his work, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, was recently produced in Wales. His biography of Robert Browning was short-listed for the Whitbread Award and he received The Gregory Award from T. S. Eliot personally for his poetry collection Points of Contact. He lives in Bath.

Sherlock Holmes Handbook

Second Edition

Sherlock Holmes Handbook sums up a Canadian scholar’s lifetime expertise about Sherlock Holmes – the characters and themes, the publishers and readers, Victorian London and the Houdini connection, radio actors and cartoonists, the fans who cling to Holmes’s reality and the professors who tease out motifs from the fifty-six short stories and four novels. The first edition of Sherlock Holmes Handbook appeared in 1993. This edition catches up on new films, new books (a few with a hint of the supernatural) and the advent of the Internet, which has spread Holmes’s fame and Sherlockian fun even further worldwide. The intervening years have brought three multi-volume editions of the Sherlock Holmes stories, with hundreds of footnotes providing new insights and new amusement. They have also seen Holmes repeatedly on the amateur and professional stages, including a few Canadian productions. And there have been changes to everything from copyright rules to libraries, booksellers and audio recordings.

Misteri Gereja Setan

Kejadian-kejadian aneh mulai muncul di SMU Alexius. Pak Mamat, penjaga sekolah, tanpa alasan yang jelas tiba-tiba memaku telapak tangannya sendiri. Mereka yang telah meninggal di SMU tersebut menampakkan diri dalam wujud mengerikan, tak terlihat oleh manusia biasa. Penampakan Pak Nardiman, mantan satpam sekolah, berkeliaran dengan kepala nyaris putus. Di saat bersamaan, ada tiga anak baru kelas XI dari Manado yang berperilaku aneh—Loura, Miki, dan Dewo. Loura memiliki the Satanic Bible yang selalu dibawanya di tas. Lalu, segala kegiatan mereka memiliki makna angka 666, mengarah pada sekte Gereja Setan. Kevin, Feby, Revan, dan Tania, mencoba menyelidiki kejadian misterius yang terjadi di sekolah mereka. Dibantu Ronal—yang bisa melihat hal gaib—mereka mendapatkan banyak petunjuk. Bagi mereka, misteri harus dipecahkan, atau pilihannya murid-murid di sekolah mereka akan hancur. 'Jangan biarkan mereka menguasai murid-muridku! Jangan biarkan mereka berkumpul di sini!’ -GagasMedia-

"Vin, stop deh. Gue agak merinding nih .... Udah tadi gue ngeliat dua anjing yang
di atas pohon. Trus sama kejadian Pak Mamat kemaren. Aduuuh... sumpah gue
bisa stres kalo setiap hari kehidupan gue horrible gini," ucap Feby. Tania masih
bingung. Soalnya dia tidak melihat kejadian anjing mati hari ini karena keburu
dicegah Revan. "Eh Pak Mamat gimana kabarnya, tuh?" celetuk Revan. Ronal
menatap Revan. Matanya terbelalak. Bibirnya sedikit terbuka, sepertinya ada 20.
