Venture capital has now become a global phenomenon. Here is the (1) status of each major region that has venture capital activity. (2) , the definition of venture capital, (3) coined 50 years ago at Harvard Business School, meant (4) capital for new or very young ventures. Over time, (5) , and especially outside the US and Canada, it has become a coverall name for any type of equity related financing for privately held companies. To make matters even more (6) , some US venture capital firms have begun delving into "transactional" finance more (7) to the investment banking community. This is, however, a limited phenomenon.
Indeed, the influx of (8) fund money into the venture capital market has been both a curse and a blessing. Firms found themselves battling to place their newly (9) funds with a (10) number of specialized hitech firms. The result was a series of losses in the early 1990s.
Venture capitalists then became immersed in transactional financing as a result of their (11) in business acquisitions. Historically, the venture capitalists had sat at the end of the table representing the company being (12) . At some point, they began to see opportunities in financing such (13) and in other investment banking type activities.
In the long (14) , however, venture capitalists will back out of investment banking type activities and focus on what they are best at, risking capital investments in (15) companies. What is required to place their capital and still realize their (16) is a ramp up in staff. In the 1980s, many of the firms were quite small and (17) on specific areas of technology where they had in (18) knowledge. In the 1990s the successful firms have (19) management staff, (20) into more than one area of technology, and outsourced more of their technological analysis to very specialized experts.

Most people who travel long distances complain of jetlag(时差反应). Jetlag makes business travelers less productive (对产的，有成效的) and more prone (51) making mistakes. It is actually caused by (52) of your "body clock"-a small cluster(串、组、群)of brain cells that controls the timing of biological (53) . The body clock is designed for a regular rhythm(节奏)of daylight and darkness, so that it is thrown out of balance when it experiences daylight and darkness at the "wrong" times in a new time zone. The (54) of jetlag often persist(持续) for days (55) the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time zone.
Now a new anti-jetlag system is available that is based on proven, (56) and pioneering scientific research. Dr. Martin Moore has devised a practical strategy to adjust the body clock much sooner to the new time zone (57) controlled exposure to bright light. The time zone shift(转换) is easy to accomplish and eliminates (消除) (58) of the discomfort of jetlag
A successful time zone shift depends on knowing the exact times to either (59) or avoid bright light. Exposure to light at the wrong time can actually make jetlag worse. The proper schedule (60) light exposure depends a great deal on (61) travel plans.
Data on a specific flight itinerary (旅行路线) and the individual’s sleep (62) are used to produce a trip guide with (63) on exactly when to be exposed to bright light.
When the trip guide calls (64) bright light you should spend time outdoors if possible. If it is dark outside, or the weather is bad, (65) you are on an air plane, you can use a special light device to provide the necessary light stimulus(刺激) for a range of activities such as reading, watching TV or working.

ActiveX is the name (66) has given to a set of object-oriented concepts, technologies, and tools. It is important to notice that ActiveX is not a (67) technology, but a brand name, what it’s applied to can vary over time. However, the main technology is COM. Used in a network with a (68) and additional support, COM becomes the DCOM. The main object that is created when writing a program to run in the ActiveX environment is a (69) , a self-sufficient program that can be run anywher6 in the ActiveX network. This component is known as an "ActiveX control". An ActiveX control is roughly equivalent to a applet. One important difference is that an ActiveX control must be (70) for a specific platform, while an applet is platform-independent.

In information theory, "information" is regarded as knowledge which reduces or removes (71) about the occurrence of a specific event from a given set of possible events. The concept "event" is to be understood as used in the theory of probability. For instance, an event may be the occurrence of a (72) character or word in a given message or in a given position of a message.
In communication theory, channel is defined as that part of a communication system that connects the message source with the message sink. An encoder may be inserted between the message source and the input to the channel, and a (73) between the output of the channel and the message sink. Generally, these two units are not considered as being parts of the channel. In certain cases, however, they may be considered as pans of the message source and message sink, (74) . In information theory (75) to Shannon, the channel can be characterized by the set of conditional probabilities of occurrence of all the messages received at the message sink when a given message emanates from the message source.
