Eigentlich hatte ich heute etwas anderes vor, aber jetzt ist es dieses Foto geworden. Nix Dolles, aber immerhin ein Foto für Heute :))
Der Spruch ist mir wieder eingefallen und ich finde, er passt irgendwie gut.
Er ist von Sir Winston Churchill.
Wünsche allen einen schönen Sonntagabend und einen tollen Start in die nächste Woche :)
EPS shows off new Colours and crest at special ceremony
The Edmonton Police Service unveiled its new Colours and redesigned crest today at a ceremony in City Hall.
Until now, the EPS did not have battle honours, despite losing seven police officers on the front lines, who gave the ultimate sacrifice while fighting the constant war on crime.
“The Colours were created for the primary purpose to honour the memory of those members,” says EPS Staff Sgt. Adrian Marr. “Secondly, they are to provide for members of the Service, a focus of pride by tangibly representing what the Service stands for and the sacrifices its members have made.”
The EPS Colours were designed and approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority in 2004. The Colours are dark blue with a gold fringe. Inside the fringe are embroidered wild roses and maple leafs. In the centre is the new EPS crest. Around the badge are embroidered the Names in Memorial, of officers who had been killed in the line of duty. The Colours were blessed and consecrated by Chaplain Kurt Schmidlin and Lt. Gov. Norman Kwong.
The new EPS crest was also unveiled at the event. Since the formation of the Edmonton Police Service in 1892 the police flash has evolved from a simple nameplate to a symbolic emblem that represents the allegiance and pride of those who serve in the profession. The redesigned crest is the very first EPS Heraldic emblem which was granted official approval by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The motto on the crest – integrity, courage, community – express the character of the Edmonton Police Service.

A Compact Disc (also known as a CD) is an optical disc used to store digital data, originally developed for storing digital audio. The CD, available on the market since late 1982, remains the standard playback medium for commercial audio recordings to the present day.
Standard CDs have a diameter of 120 mm and can hold up to 80 minutes of audio. There is also the Mini CD, with diameters ranging from 60 to 80 mm; they are sometimes used for CD singles, storing up to 24 minutes of audio.
The technology was later adapted and expanded to include data storage CD-ROM, write-once audio and data storage CD-R, rewritable media CD-RW, Super Audio CD (SACD), Video Compact Discs (VCD), Super Video Compact Discs (SVCD), PhotoCD, PictureCD, CD-i, and Enhanced CD. CD-ROMs and CD-Rs remain widely used technologies in the computer industry. The CD and its extensions have been extremely successful: in 2004, worldwide sales of CD audio, CD-ROM, and CD-R reached about 30 billion discs. By 2007, 200 billion CDs had been sold worldwide.

Broome, on the northern coast of Western Australia, is painted in shades of blue and orange. A beautiful area of Australia, the summer is literally breathtakingly hot -especially for southerners like me!
These colours clash on many levels, and there is a mixture of textures!
