    Tales of Hardship, Love and Happiness in Tate & Lyle’s East End Factories. On an autumn day in 1944, Ethel Alleyne walked the short distance from her house to Tate & Lyle’s refinery on the shining curve of the Thames. Looking up at the giant gates, Ethel felt like she had been preparing for this moment all her life. She smoothed down her frizzy hair, scraped a bit of dirt off the corner of her shoe and strode through. She was quite unprepared for the sight that met her eyes …’In the years leading up to and after the Second World War thousands of women left school at fourteen to work in the bustling factories of London’s East End. Despite long hours, hard and often hazardous work, factory life afforded exciting opportunities for independence, friendship and romance. Of all the factories that lined the docks, it was at Tate and Lyle’s where you could earn the most generous wages and enjoy the best social life, and it was here where The Sugar Girls worked. Through the Blitz and on through the years of rationing The Sugar Girls kept Britain sweet. The work was back-breakingly hard, but Tate & Lyle was more than just a factory, it was a community, a calling, a place of love and support and an uproarious, tribal part of the East End. From young Ethel to love-worn Lillian, irrepressible Gladys to Miss Smith who tries to keep a workforce of flirtatious young men and women on the straight and narrow, this is an evocative, moving story of hunger, hardship and happiness. Tales of adversity, resilience and youthful high spirits are woven together to provide a moving insight into a lost way of life, as well as a timeless testament to the experience of being young and female. ungekürzt.

    Okay, this book is straightforward: How to build a Silicon Valley seed startup How to find co-founders How to give stock to team, contractors, advisors, and investors How to deal with lawyers and incorporation How to develop your idea How to get funding and deal with investors, angels, and venture capital How to calculate your startup's valuation How to sell your startup (acquisition)This book isn't a theory of startups by a university professor or a VC who has never actually built a startup. No business school blah-blah-blah, overheated Wall Street yadda-yadda, or lots of time on stuff you'll never do.  This is the reality of Silicon Valley startups: what it's like to build a startup and how to deal with problems. The book dismisses many popular ideas about startup strategies because those sound nice, but founders don't really use them. Instead, this book covers what founders have seen to actually work.  Startup is based on interviews with 26 startup founders (men and women) who are doing startups in Silicon Valley, France, Germany, Cote d’Ivoire (West Africa), China, Colombia, Denmark, Hawaii, India, Jakarta, South Korea, Spain, and the US. This is the only book that covers how startups are built in India, South America, Africa, Europe, and China. What works in Silicon Valley often doesn't work in other countries. They have to solve the problems of startups in unique, local ways. The book shows you how it's done in Silicon Valley and other places, so you can get ideas for YOUR startup in YOUR country and city.  The book also includes hundreds of comments and observations from founders. Useful ideas, warnings, and helpful tips. Some of the founders have done three or four startups, and they talk about what they've learned. That's why the book has been translated in French, Korean, Spanish, and Chinese. I want to encourage people everywhere to build ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fawn Alleyne.
