Villebourbon est nommé ainsi en l'honneur d'Henri de Navarre, futur Henri IV et premier roi de la lignée des Bourbon qui, durant les Guerres de Religion, a réuni deux anciens faubourgs derrière une imposante fortification, donnant naissance à un nouveau quartier. Celui-ci abrite alors de nombreuses industries, tuileries, minoteries et teintureries qui profitent de la proximité du Tarn.
Le long du quai sont alignés de grands hôtels particuliers construits au 17e et 18e siècles par de riches entrepreneurs et négociants du textile dont les salles voûtées du rez-de-chaussée abritaient ateliers et entrepôts.

There's another female entrepreneur in Lynn's LEGO City :-) This is a minifig that I built at the Build-A-Mini stand at the LEGO Store last weekend. I was very happy to find the "Trendy Girl" torso there. The face is from the Series 7 Swimmer (it was also in the Build-A-Minifig stand). After I brought this minifig home, she opened a cotton candy stand, which has been very popular with all the minifigs :-)
The set behind her is the LEGO Friends Bumper Cars. I bought it a month ago but I was using the lime green base plates for my Rio photos :-) Now that the Olympics are over, I finally built the set......
I was driving around after work, looking for birds and here I found these two sweet kids selling ...flowers....!!!

The Golden Spectral of Leadership
Leaders require their followers to possess three essential qualities: competence, reliability, and moral goodness. Those who fail to demonstrate these traits cannot gain their leaders' trust. However, when followers exhibit these qualities, they establish a foundation of trust that enables their leaders to pursue ambitious goals, make dreams a reality, and inspire others.

Sir Joseph Whitworth, 1st Baronet (21 December 1803 – 22 January 1887) was an English engineer, entrepreneur, inventor and philanthropist. In 1841, he devised the British Standard Whitworth system, which created an accepted standard for screw threads. Whitworth also created the Whitworth rifle, often called the 'sharpshooter' because of it's accuracy and is considered one of the earliest examples of a sniper rifle.
Upon his death in 1887, he bequeathed much of his fortune for the people of Manchester, with the Whitworth Art Gallery and Christie Hospital partly funded by Whitworth's money. Whitworth Street and Whitworth Hall in Manchester are named in his honour.
The Whitworth Art Gallery contains about 55,000 items in its collection. In October 1995 a Mezzanine Court in the centre of the building was opened. This new gallery, designed chiefly for the display of sculpture, won a RIBA regional award. In 2010 the art gallery received 172,000 visitors, making it one of Greater Manchester's ten most-visited tourist attractions.
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.
Frazier is my oldest nephew. He has just started his own company, Signature Clothing. His line consists of all sorts of apparel, and is pretty cool looking, so this pic was something I wanted to be a little different, cool and innovative, just like Frazier!
After Thanksgiving dinner, I did a couple of quick grab shots at the table of Frazier and his brother, Drake. Though this one wasn't bad as far as detail went, it was busy and needed some enhancement. As I looked at the image, I realized that some of the things that were popping up in the background actually played into who Frazier is. "Brawny" and "Hefty" describe his strength. He had gone through Police Academy, and trained hard, deciding afterwards that he wanted to go a different route, which may include being an Army Ranger. Frazier is a tough guy with a heart. He loves animals, and they love him, so the kitties that pop up bring that in. There are magnets on the fridge referencing faith and humor, both also are a big part of who Frazier is. So, I left the background, busy as it was, but decided to make him pop by doing a sketch effect on only him. I actually really liked it after I got done. It kind of highlights the drive my nephew has, and a good natured intensity and determination that he personifies.

Duty took me on an on-site visit to the University of Twente, located exactly between the cities of Hengelo and Enschede in the Far Northeast of The Netherlands, virtually on the German border.Twente's a very pretty area and a favorite get-away to nature and quiet for those from the hectic and heavily urbanised Randstad (more or less the area of the cities of Utrecht, Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam of the Netherlands). The pictured Autumnal calm and quiet - especially in the aftermath of a few days of rain - belies the frenetic activity of The Entrepreneurial University just a couple of hundred metres to the back of the photographer.
The University here was established in 1961, and it is the only campus university in The Netherlands. Originally geared almost entirely to engineering, it has broadened out today to the social sciences and to technology, including the philosophy of science, technology and society.
The present campus sprawls over the edges of the country estate 'Drienerloo', on which it was originally centred. "Drienerloo" was owned by the Lasonder family, which rose to local prominence in the later Middle Ages. The last Lasonder's political views were to the extreme far-right, which in The Netherlands of those days meant pro-Hitler (his party of choice was the NSB). During the Second World War, Gerrit Albertus Lasonder (1882-1944) and his German-born wife, Anne Christine Bauer, naturally sympathised with the German occupation forces in The Netherlands. After the war, their possessions were confiscated by the Dutch government. The estate "Drienerloo" was sold to the city of Enschede, who transferred it to the newly founded university of technology (the third in The Netherlands after those of Delft and Eindhoven).
Modern and ultra-modern buildings have not (yet) obliterated the rural and park-like ambiance here. There are photos of a small tea-house shaded prettily by huge trees on these grounds where the Lasonders would take their afternoon drinks. Intriguingly, this same tea-house is said to have been used to hide Albert Plesman (1889-1953) from the German forces in the Second World War. Plesman was a Dutch military aviator who was instrumental in founding the Dutch national airlines, the KLM, now part of Air France. Regrettably, that tea-house was torn down. It would have been a fitting historical monument for technological innovation and industrial entrepreneurship, described so convincingly in the university's mission statement.

Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982) was ‘Sweden's illustrious gift to Hollywood’. In the 1940s the fresh and naturally beautiful actress won three times the Oscar, twice the Emmy, and once the Tony Award for Best Actress. Little known is that before she went to Hollywood she already had a European film career.
Ingrid Bergman was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1915 to a Swedish father and a German mother. At age 17, she had a taste of acting when she played an uncredited role of a girl standing in line in the Swedish film Landskamp (Gunnar Skoglund, 1932). The next year she was accepted to the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm, but she soon decided that stage acting was not for her. During her first summer break, she was hired at a Swedish film studio to work in film full-time. Her first film part was in Munkbrogreven/The Count of the Old Town (Edvin Adolphson, 1935), where she had a speaking part as Elsa Edlund. In the following years, she made a dozen films in Sweden that established her as a class actress. Among them were Bränningar/The Surf (Ivar Johansson, 1935) and Dollar (Gustaf Mollander, 1938). Another film, En kvinnas ansikte (Gustaf Molander, 1938) would later be remade as A Woman's Face with Joan Crawford. Bergman also made a film in Germany, Die Vier Gesellen/The Four Companions (Carl Froelich, 1938).
Ingrid Bergman's breakthrough film was Intermezzo (Gustaf Molander, 1936), in which she played a pianist who has a love affair with a celebrated and married violinist, played by Gösta Ekman. Hollywood producer David O. Selznick saw it and sent a representative from MGM to gain the rights to the story and have the actress sign a contract. Ingrid went to California and starred in MGM's remake Intermezzo: A Love Story (Gregory Ratoff, 1939), reprising her original role. The film was a hit and so was Ingrid. Her beauty was unlike anything the movie industry had seen before and her acting was superb. She was under contract to go back to Sweden to film Juninatten/A Night in June (Per Lindberg, 1940). Back in the US, she appeared in three films, all well-received. In 1942 she played in only one film, but that film, Casablanca (Michael Curtiz, 1942), would make her a huge star. Bergman chose her roles well after Casablanca. In 1943, she was nominated for an Academy Award for her role in Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls (Sam Wood, 1943), the only film she made that year. The critics and public didn't forget her when she made Gaslight (George Cukor, 1944) the following year - her role as the persecuted wife of Charles Boyer got her the Oscar for Best Actress. In 1945, Ingrid played in Spellbound (Alfred Hitchcock, 1945) with Gregory Peck, Saratoga Trunk (Sam Wood, 1945), and The Bells of St. Mary's (Leo McCarey, 1945), for which she received her third Oscar nomination for her part as Sister Benedict.
Ingrid Bergman also worked with Alfred Hitchcock on another classic, Notorious (1946) with Cary Grant, and the less successful Under Capricorn (1949) with Joseph Cotten. Bergman went to Alaska during World War II in order to entertain troops. Soon after the war ended, she also went to Europe for the same purpose, where she was able to see the devastation caused by the war. It was during this time that she began a relationship with the famous photographer Robert Capa. She made no films in 1947 but bounced back with a fourth nomination for Joan of Arc (Victor Fleming, 1948). She played the part of Jeanne d'Arc three times in her career: on stage in 1946 in Maxwell Anderson's Joan of Lorraine for which she won the Tony Award, in the film version in 1948, and in 1954 in the Italian film Giovanna d'Arco al rogo/Joan of Arc at the Stake (Roberto Rossellini, 1954), based on a 1935 dramatic oratorio by Arthur Honegger. But in 1949 Saint Ingrid first would suffer a sudden and disastrous fall from grace. In 1949 Ingrid Bergman went to Italy to film Stromboli (1950), directed by Roberto Rossellini. She fell in love with him and got pregnant. The pregnancy caused a huge scandal in the United States. It even led to Bergman being denounced on the floor of the US Senate by Edwin C. Johnson, a Democratic senator, who referred to her as "a horrible example of womanhood and a powerful influence for evil." In addition, there was a floor vote, which resulted in her being made 'persona non grata'. The scandal forced Bergman to exile herself to Italy, leaving her husband, Dr. Petter Lindström, and daughter, Pia Lindström in the United States. Dr. Lindström eventually sued for desertion and waged a custody battle for their daughter.
In 1950, Ingrid Bergman married Rossellini and the same year their son, Renato Roberto, was born. In 1952 Ingrid had twins, Isotta and Isabella Rossellini. Isabella would later become an outstanding actress in her own right, as did her half-sister Pia.
From 1950 to 1955 Bergman and Rossellini made six films together: Stromboli (1950), Europa '51/No Greater Love (1952), a segment of Siamo donne/We, the Women (1953), Viaggio in Italia/Voyage in Italy (1954), La paura/Fear (1954) and Giovanna d'Arco al rogo/Joan of Arc at the Stake (1954). These films were ahead of their time but were generally not received well, especially in the US, where many conservative political and religious leaders still raised a hue and cry about her past. Bergman also starred in Jean Renoir's Elena et les Hommes/Elena and Her Men (1956), a romantic comedy where she played a Polish princess caught in political intrigue. Although the film wasn't a success, it has since come to be regarded as one of her best performances. Finally, after being exiled from Hollywood for seven years, Bergman returned opposite Yul Brynner in the title role in Anastasia (Anatole Litvak, 1956), which was filmed in England. For this, she won her second Academy Award. She had scarcely missed a beat. The award was accepted for her by her friend Cary Grant. Bergman would not make her first post-scandal public appearance in Hollywood until the 1958 Academy Awards when she was the presenter of the Academy Award for Best Picture. Furthermore, after being introduced by Cary Grant and walking out on stage to present, she was given a standing ovation. In 1957 she divorced Rosselini and in 1958 she married Lars Schmidt, a theatrical entrepreneur from a wealthy Swedish shipping family. After all the years she spent away from Hollywood, she still managed to maintain her status as a major star, as the success of films like Indiscreet (Stanley Donen, 1958) opposite Cary Grant and The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (Mark Robson, 1958) with Curd Jürgens showed.
In the 1960s, Ingrid Bergman concentrated on stage work and television appearances, and collaborated with her husband, theatrical producer Lars Schmidt, in such TV plays as The Turn of The Screw (John Frankenheimer, 1960) for which she won an Emmy Award and Twenty-Four Hours in a Woman's Life (Silvio Narrizano, 1961). She didn't appear in as many films as she had before, but she continued to bounce between Europe and the US making films. After a long hiatus, Bergman appeared in Cactus Flower (Gene Saks, 1968), with Walter Matthau and Goldie Hawn. In 1972, Senator Charles H. Percy entered an apology into the Congressional Record for the attack made on Bergman 22 years earlier by Edwin C. Johnson. Bergman won her third Academy Award for her role as Greta Ohlsson in Murder on the Orient Express (Sidney Lumet, 1974). Her performance is contained in a single scene: her interrogation by Poirot, captured in a single continuous take, nearly five minutes long. By 1975 Ingrid Bergman had divorced again. In her final big-screen performance in Höstsonaten/Autumn Sonata (Ingmar Bergman, 1978) she had her seventh Academy Award nomination. Bergman plays in this film a celebrity pianist who returns to Sweden to visit her neglected daughter, played by Liv Ullmann. Though she didn't win the Oscar, many felt it was the best performance of her career. In the late 1970s, Ingrid Bergman first discovered the symptoms of cancer and underwent a mastectomy. Her last role was in the television film A Woman Called Golda (Alan Gibson, 1982), about the late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. Ingrid Bergman died in 1982, in London, the day after having a small party with a few friends for her 67th birthday. At her burial a single violin played the song As Time Goes By, the theme from Casablanca, recalling her most famous role, that of Ilsa Lund. That year her daughter, Pia Lindström accepted the Emmy Award for Best Actress that Ingrid won posthumously for A Woman Called Golda. Seventeen years later, in 1999, she was ranked #4 in the American Film Institute's list of greatest female screen legends. Later she was ranked #5 in Premiere's list of 'The 50 Greatest Movie Stars of All Time'. Ingrid Bergman continues to be a cultural icon - for her films and for her innocent, natural beauty.
