Homage to Beatrix Potter and her roguish creation Peter Rabbit. While I love Beatrix Potters stories and wonderful illustrations it is her work as a conservationist that I admire most.
Helen Beatrix Potter 28 July 1866 – 22 December 1943) was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist. She is best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was her first commercially published work in 1902. Her books, including 23 Tales, have sold more than 250 million copies. An entrepreneur, Potter was a pioneer of character merchandising. In 1903, Peter Rabbit was the first fictional character to be made into a patented stuffed toy, making him the oldest licensed character. -- Courtesy Wikipedia

Born in 1832 to farming parents, Nar Auk, ethnic Mon, got his entrepreneurial start by launching a timber business with the help of a local boss, and he later expanded to the paddy trade, the steamship industry and money lending. Nobody would have imagined that the boy from Khare village, about 10 miles from the Mon State capital Moulmein, would earn a reputation as a national patriot, but he moved quickly, with his fight against giant British companies earning him a spot in the history textbooks of government elementary schools.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Nar Auk’s passing, but the temple he built in Kawhnat village still glows, and people there continue to sing praises to his efforts.
Traveling along the Nile, these two rowed out to our cruise vessel, threw a line around the front of our boat, so their row boat could be towed along next to us, and then proceeded to sell their wares to the passengers.I love creative entrepreneurs. 20190108AlongTheNileDxoLr63

The 25 de Abril Bridge is a suspension bridge connecting the city of Lisbon, capital of Portugal, to the municipality of Almada on the left (south) bank of the Tagus river. It has a total length of 2,277 metres, making it the 46th longest suspension bridge in the world.
From its inauguration in 6 August 1966 up to 1974, the bridge was named Salazar Bridge (Ponte Salazar), after Portuguese Prime Minister António de Oliveira Salazar, who ordered its construction. After the Carnation Revolution, which overthrew the remnants of Salazar's regime, the bridge was renamed for April 25, the date of the revolution. It is also commonly called the Tagus River Bridge.
Later changes had to be made due to the rapid increase in population. In the 1990s, a fifth car lane was added, and in 1999, a lower deck, used as a railway track, which was planned since the beginning, was finally built. Today, the upper deck carries six car lanes while the lower deck carries a double track railway, electrified at 25 kV AC.
From the late 19th century, there had been proposals to build a bridge across the Tagus. In 1929, the idea advanced when the Portuguese engineer and entrepreneur, António Bello, requested a government concession for a railway crossing between Lisbon and Montijo (where the Vasco da Gama Bridge, the second bridge serving Lisbon, was later built in 1998). As a result, the Minister of Public Works, Duarte Pacheco, created a commission in 1933 to analyse the request. The commission reported in 1934, and proposed building a road and rail bridge. Bids were obtained, but the proposal was subsequently put aside in favor of a bridge crossing the river at Vila Franca de Xira, 35 kilometres north of Lisbon.
In 1953, a new government commission started work and, in 1958, recommended building the bridge, choosing the southern anchor point adjacent to the recently built monument to Christ the King (Cristo-Rei). In 1959, the international invitation to tender for the project received four bids. In 1960, the winner was announced as a consortium headed by the United States Steel Export Company, which had also submitted a bid in 1935. The American School of Lisbon was founded largely to educate the children of the American engineers brought to Portugal to work on the construction of the bridge.
Construction began on 5 November 1962. Forty-five months later, six months ahead of schedule, the bridge was inaugurated on 6 August 1966. Presiding at the ceremony was the President of Portugal, Admiral Américo Thomaz. Also present were the Prime-Minister, António de Oliveira Salazar, and the Patriarch of Lisbon, Cardinal Manuel Gonçalves Cerejeira. The bridge was named Salazar Bridge (Ponte Salazar), after Prime Minister Salazar.
United States Steel International Inc., based in New York, was prime contractor for the bridge. Morrison-Knudsen of Portugal Ltd., an American firm based in Boise, Idaho, was U.S. Steel's principal associate. Morrison-Knudsen had previously worked on the San Francisco Bay Bridge. The bridge was designed by Steinman, Boynton, Gronquist and London of New York, and Tudor Engineering Company of San Francisco. The steel was imported from the US. Four workers lost their lives, out of a total of 3,000 who worked on the site. Construction took a total of 2,185,000 man-hours of work. The total cost of the bridge came to 2.2 billion Portuguese escudos, or US$32 million (US$225 million in 2011 adjusted for inflation).
Soon after the Carnation Revolution in 1974, the bridge was renamed the 25 de Abril Bridge, the day the revolution had occurred. A symbol of those times was captured on film, with citizens removing the large brass letters spelling "Salazar" from one of the main pillars of the bridge and painting a provisional "25 de Abril" in its place.
The upper platform, running 70 m above water, had four car lanes, two in each direction, with a dividing guardrail. On 23 July 1990, the guardrail was removed and a fifth, reversible lane was created. On 6 November 1998, the side walls were extended and reinforced to make space for the present six lanes. Cars crossing the bridge make a peculiar hum because the two inner lanes are made of metallic grating rather than asphalt to minimize aerodynamic forces by means of pressure equalization.
Since 30 June 1999, the lower platform has carried a double track railway. To accommodate that, the bridge underwent extensive structural reinforcements, including a second set of main cables, placed above the original set, and the main towers were increased in height. The railway had been part of the initial design, but was eliminated for economy, so the initial structure was lightened. The original builder American Bridge Company was called again for the job, performing the first aerial spinning of additional main cables on a loaded, fully operational suspension bridge.
Traffic soon increased well beyond predictions, and has remained at maximum capacity despite the enlargement from four to six lanes, the addition of the railway, and the building of a second bridge serving Lisbon, the Vasco da Gama Bridge. A third bridge has been on and off government plans for some time, but the idea has been dropped presently, due to Portugal's budget constraints.

You often hear about bootleggers, but you almost never see them. Here are four residents of Seattle who had the misfortune to be apprehended and photographed. Interestingly, their names, which used to appear under the photos, have been erased. Was that an act of 1930s restorative justice?
I found it interesting that the men were hatless in their profile photos but had their hats on in the other. Could it be that hat wearing was so universal then that the hat was as integral a part of a person's identity as their eye color or the shape of their nose?

So loved this classic summer scene but instead of lemonade stand it is a snowcone stand! Yes I made a purchase to support their efforts to make spending money in the hot Texas sun! Nice and cooling and for a good cause!

The corner lemonade stand had just run out of lemonade and until more arrived, out came the hard sell for watermelon and especially gum.
We visited Cleveland's West Side Market yesterday morning for some shopping. Of course, I had my camera with me. This is a photo of a young girl who was busily making small woven baskets for sale. By far, she was the busiest and most aspiring entrepreneur at the market.
For me, the best part of this photograph is the sunlight on the girl's hair. I also liked the intense look on her face as she worked so hard.
Fellow Flickrite mpaulda was kind enough to send me some cameras to play around with this summer. Thanks Mark!

Entrepreneurs John and Peggy Dunn are not afraid of the current economic slump. While many people tightened their belts and waited during the past several years, John saw opportunity and pursued his dream. John is a plumber. He has been running his own plumbing business for twenty-three years. Peggy is a singer, a published writer, and John's wife/sidekick. While John has a love for historical arms, Peggy loves meeting people and making new friends.
In 2010 they decided to take the plunge and open up a unique enterprise. Most gun stores are bastions of masculinity and are rather intimidating to women. With John and Peggy's combined efforts Old Town Guns and Gifts was born. In this unique shop one can find anything from 1894 Winchester rifles to crystal stemware. The coffee is always strong and hot, and the conversation is lively.
One of the recent additions in John's gun rack is a custom 1894 Winchester rifle. It sports curious factory customization to make it lighter in weight and as a result has a decreased magazine capacity. On the firearm's stock is nailed a mysterious plaque on which is engraved "Buffalo Bills Wild West."
The rifle was featured and appraised by Bonhams & Butterfields on the Antiques Roadshow in July 2011. John is currently researching the rifle to determine if it is indeed a firearm that might have been handled and shot by William Cody or Annie Oakley. If so, the value would escalate enormously.
John still works four days a week as a master plumber, but on Friday and Saturday, he and Peggy open the doors to the American dream with their own business. Thank you for the coffee and conversation John, there will be more photos coming this evening on my zenfolio site.
