    After some researching. the one composer that caught my ear and attention was Cecile Louise Stephanie Chaminade, most commonly known as Cecile Chaminade. She was a French composer and pianist. From the years of her birth in 1857 to her death in Monte Carlo in 1944, she composed over a hundred pieces that gave her a wide range of admirers. What really caught my attention about Chaminade was the fact that her father disapproved of her musical education. With the strong passion she had, she continued forward in her musical career. At eight years old, she played her music to Georges Bizet who was extremely impressed. Chaminade continued the success and gave her first concert at eighteen. From then on, constant music from Chaminade was being published and gaining popularity.…

    | Despite celebrating his 57th birthday, Richard Branson showed no signs of flagging energy or loss of entrepreneurial vigor. During the last two weeks of January 2007, Virgin announced a slew of new initiatives. These included the creation of Virgin Bioverda—a joint venture to develop ethanol plants in the U.S.—a bid for a vacation company (First Choice) and a proposal to take over rail services between London and Edinburgh. At the same time, Branson was negotiating an alliance with Tata Group to establish Virgin Mobile in India and preparing to buy 50 acres of land in Macau to build a $3 billion casino and leisure complex. Meanwhile, Virgin America—Branson's San Francisco-based low-cost airline—was struggling to get approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Some believed that Virgin Galactic—Branson's passenger spaceship service—might be first into the air.Yet despite being lauded for his entrepreneurship, eccentricity and embodiment of “the friendly face of capitalism,” his Virgin group of companies remained a mystery to most outsiders—and to many insiders as well. At the beginning of 2007 there were 215 Virgin companies registered at Britain's Companies House, of which 20 are identified as recently dissolved. However, most operations are conducted through the 36 companies listed on the Virgin web site (see the Appendix). While a number are Virgin companies identified as “holding companies”—they exist…
