The crystal-clear waves gently lap the white sands of the shore. A gentle breeze rustles the coconut trees a few metres away in the thick jungle. This is Amilla Maldives – the purest definition of a tropical island paradise. And, it can now be hired in its entirety as your private exotic playground! For the first time ever, the luxury Baa atoll resort is being made available for sole use by an individual or couple and any companions they may wish to bring. They will be able to roam all 12 hectares of the exotic island and enjoy its facilities, from the contemporary minimalist Amilla Villas and Residences to the stunning pools and beaches. World class cuisine can be delivered right to their door, from ‘floating breakfasts’ in their private pool to Wellness Your Way salads picked fresh from the Mystique Garden. It’s the perfect retreat for anyone wishing to escape to a secluded spot with social distancing and reassuring hygiene measures for their protection during the pandemic. Amilla has implemented rigorous Covid-19 prevention protocols and due to this, its remote location, and restrictions on public access, there have been no coronavirus cases on the island. This makes it ideal for small groups who are ‘quaranteaming’ or couples in search of an isolated private holiday location. Amilla is available for exclusive use on a private one-week booking for up to 100 people. The price will be available upon request, and will include all kinds of incentives including full board meals, butler service, water-sports, a manta snorkelling excursion, sunset cruise, an afternoon on a sandbank, daily Pilates classes/personal trainer, cocktail masterclasses and much more. Amilla is located in the Baa Atoll UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, an area internationally-recognised for its incredible biodiversity, including reef mantas and whale sharks. In fact, manta and whale shark season is just beginning in Baa and marine biologists predict the atoll could be in for a bumper season of sightings due to the reduced amount of human activity in the area during the pandemic. Located just 30 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport, Amilla offers a choice of 59 Houses that sit gracefully over crystal clear waters, nestle among lush tree tops or hug the shores of pristine white sand; plus eight spectacular four- to eight-bedroom Beach Residences ideally suited to large families, groups of friends and VVIPs seeking the ultimate in space and privacy. Amilla’s innovative restaurants range from the diverse, informal foodie hub Baazaar to the relaxed yet sophisticated overwater dining at the signature Feeling Koi. Guests can even drop in to gourmet café and deli The Emperor General Store or The Wine Shop & Cellar Door to treat themselves to lighter snacks, a favourite bottle or a gourmet selection of artisanal cheeses. With an unrivalled range of purpose-designed multi-bedroom accommodation options, and an exciting, inspiring and active Kids’ Club The Sultan’s Village, Amilla has put the Maldives on the map as a destination not just for couples, but for families and friends.

Billions of dollars in venture capital flow every year to startups that can articulate their visions in a way that makes investors see dollar signs. Startups do this by creating pitch decks — slideshows that meld imagery, hard data, and storytelling to help investors see how their visions could come alive. For some time, Business Insider has been publishing individual pitch decks to give readers an inside look at the business strategies of startups, and the particular ways that successful young companies showcased themselves to the investors who then decided to back them. The complete collection has now been combined in a searchable database that you can access below. New pitch decks will continue to be added going forward. This trove of more than 150 pitch decks, tracked down by Business Insider reporters over a period of years, covers startups at various stages of their quest for capital, from seed stage fundraisings to later growth stage funding rounds for pre-IPO companies. Some are from hot new companies that have just locked down millions. Some come from household names like Postmates when they were at the earliest stages of their existence. You can browse the alphabetical listing, and just click the startup’s name to open its pitch deck and the Business Insider story about it. Or you can search the collection by startup name, or funding stage, or geographic region. Clear the search box to return to the full list.

To search by investment stage, type in: pre-Seed; Seed; SeriesA, SeriesB, etc; Growth; or post-IPO. The searchable regions as we launch the library are: N. America, Europe, and Middle East.

On Dec. 20, 2019, Starliner launched on an uncrewed mission called (OFT), which was designed to demonstrate the capsule’s ability to fly NASA astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Boeing has been contracted by NASA’s Commercial Crew Program to do just that, as has SpaceX. OFT was supposed to last eight days and feature an autonomous docking with the station. But Starliner suffered a shortly after liftoff and got stranded in an orbit too low to allow a rendezvous with the ISS. The reusable capsule ended up zooming around Earth by itself for 48 hours, then coming down for a picture-perfect landing in New Mexico’s White Sands Missile Range on Dec. 22. The original plan called for OFT to be followed by a crewed demonstration mission to the ISS. And that option is still on the table, despite the issues with December’s flight, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine Tuesday (Jan. 7). “NASA is evaluating the data received during the mission to determine if another uncrewed demonstration is required. This decision is not expected for several weeks as teams take the necessary time for this review,” Bridenstine wrote. “NASA’s approach will be to determine if NASA and Boeing received enough data to validate the system’s overall performance, including launch, on-orbit operations, guidance, navigation and control, docking/undocking to the space station, reentry, and landing,” he added. “Although data from the uncrewed test is important for certification, it may not be the only way that Boeing is able to demonstrate its system’s full capabilities.” Bridenstine also announced that NASA and Boeing are forming a joint team to investigate Starliner’s timing anomaly and figure out how to make sure it doesn’t happen again. “Once underway, the investigation is targeted to last about two months before the team delivers its final assessment,” the NASA head wrote. He added that Starliner is currently being transported from White Sands to Boeing’s facilities on Florida’s Space Coast, where the capsule will be examined in even greater detail. The latest big Commercial Crew contracts were awarded in 2014. Boeing got $4.2 billion to finish development work on Starliner and fly six operational, crewed ISS missions. SpaceX got $2.6 billion to do the same with its Crew Dragon capsule. Crew Dragon aced its version of OFT, the uncrewed , in March of last year. SpaceX is now gearing up for a crucial in-flight test of the capsule’s emergency-escape system, which is . If that test goes well, Crew Dragon would be pretty much cleared for Demo-2, a test mission that will fly NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to and from the ISS. Mike Wall’s book about the search for alien life, “” (Grand Central Publishing, 2018; illustrated by), is out now. Follow him on Twitter .
