Amazon Gold Ventures: Kleiner Perkins Hopes To Turn A Black Eye Into Black Gold hartbarley : I believe quite privileged to get used your webpages and look toward really more fabulous minutes reading here. Many thanks for many things. clawiecoxx : I have to admit that I am within the hand of luck today in any other case getting this excellent post to see wouldn't have been achievable personally, at least. emeraldruby48 : When a start-up called NEOS GeoSolutions Inc. announced last month that it raised $60 million in venture capital from Microsoft Corp. founder Bill Gates, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and others, it made no reference to its troubled predecessor. Most publications didn't either, perhaps also distracted by Gates' involvement, wondering, for instance, if the philanthropist and green investor was "hypocritical" for putting money into a company that uses data analysis and geophysical sensors to help oil and gas companies find the best place to drill. But it turns out that NEOS GeoSolutions is formerly Terralliance Technologies Inc., which Kleiner Perkins, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Passport Capital poured hundreds of millions of dollars into before the company stumbled amid controversy over its technology and spending. emeraldruby48 : When a start-up called NEOS GeoSolutions Inc. announced last month that it raised $60 million in venture capital from Microsoft Corp. founder Bill Gates, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and others, it made no reference to its troubled predecessor.

Any jaunt to this southern Colombian jungle park will start in Leticia, the lazily paced capital of the Amazonas department. The streets are lined with palm trees, shops and cafes, where you can shop for pure cocoa chocolates and handicrafts, or while a way an afternoon sipping caipirinhas. The park is 65 kms to the south of the city, and can be reached by a manic one-and-a-half hour speed-boat ride down the Amacayacu River. Situated in a large chunk of virgin rainforest, Amacayacu is brimming with wildlife and features plants that could kill you and others to bring you back. A boardwalk makes strolling through the ancient forest easy, allowing you to concentrate on the squirrel monkeys and macaws above, while avoiding the more sinister creatures that crawl and slither. Comfortable rooms with balconies overlooking the jungle can be booked through Aviatur. Houseboats complete with crew, accommodating up to eight people, can also be organized. Twenty minutes up the river from Amacayacu sits the pristine community of Puerto Narino. In this tiny jungle settlement the Nututama Foundation works with local indigenous people to protect endangered species including turtles and the pink river dolphin. Clean but modest accommodation is available for those seeking a truly unique experience. Avianca runs daily flights between Bogota and Leticia, and at under two hours, the jungle is c
