Viviane Rowland is the managing director of a small company, Tristar Laminates, which she founded with a group of fellow entrepreneurs in June 2000. Together they had successfully identified a business opportunity to produce fibreglass components for the marine industry.
Initially the three founders were the only shareholders in the company but it soon became clear that they would need extra capital. They eventually managed to convince a local businessman to invest e500,000 in exchange for 30 per cent of the company. Since then Tristar`s growth has been spectacular and Viviane now supervises a staff of 18 people and an operation with half a million pounds in sales.
Planning for the future is the immediate problem that the company has to face. At the moment production is carried out in a factory that has become too small but finding an alternative site is not an easy task.

Olympic GameS
The Beijing Olympic Games opened at 8 pm at the National Stadium "Bird Nest". A total of 205 delegations from around the world gathered under the Olympic flag. After being selected by the IOC as the host of the XXIX Olympiad meetings, China has devoted to preparing the Olympic Games to change the notion of his image before the World. The Olympic Games in Beijing - Beijing 2008, began in a superstitious society that has seen fit to start the day 8 of the month 8, 2008, that number has taken China as its number of luck, which means a lot of money for the Chinese or fortune. The date of the opening of Beijing 2008 was not by chance, but whim of the Chinese government. The Olympic Games in Beijing comenzarron actually the day 6 with the parties inaugural Cup in Shanghai, Shenyang, Qinhuangdao and Qinhuangdao, and end on August 24. There will be a total of 302 gold medals and the three most distinguished athletes get medals encrusted gold and jade.
In my view, this event is a great opportunity to demonstrate the potential for each of the athletes from all participating countries. It is sad that mexico has only a bronze medal, because I think athletes Mexicans have much ponential; only commented that as the American swimmer, all this in a positive mindset and learn to handle the pressure of competition. Espèremos than in other disciplines and skills on an individual basis even obtained medals for Mexico.
