In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. The Virginia Beach Fraternal Order of Police hosts this annual memorial service as a tribute to all local law enforcement officers that have died in the line of duty in service to the City of Virginia Beach.
Reminder: Flags should be flown at half-staff on May 15th
This tribute to American law enforcement officers is part of the historic crime bill that President Bill Clinton signed into law in 1994. At the request of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, Public Law 103-322 designates Peace Officers Memorial Day as one of only two days each year during which government agencies, businesses and residents are to fly their U.S. flags at half-staff.
“Just as we honor those who died in military service each Memorial Day, our nation pauses each May 15th to show its appreciation for the more than 20,000 men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting our communities and safeguarding our democracy here at home,” said Craig W. Floyd, Memorial Fund Chairman and CEO. “Lowering flags to half-staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day is also a way to remember the family members, friends and colleagues these brave American heroes left behind.”

Remember 1990, when my hair was tall?
This was some kind of experiment in first- or second-year physics, involving electromagnetism. I think. It's been decades...

Remember the time I tried to drown myself in the rain?
Well, the drainpour was not enough - nothing ever is.
i read this somewhere. i think it was the lyrics to a song, but i'm not really sure :S
i just thought it was great so i wrote it somewhere and then did this.
The cinema complex Kinepolis in the city of Leuven requested the presence of Star Wars-cosplayers for the 1st days of screening "The Force awakens" so the fans could have a picture taken. And on the last day the photographer fell ill. So I had to rush in and finish the job.

St Bartholomew the Less, London
This church is one of the City of London's best kept secrets, but the City has so many best-kept secrets that it is hard to wander around it without stumbling upon at least one of them. To find St Bartholomew the Less you will need to enter the gates of St Bartholomew's hospital, for this church is the hospital chapel. Until 2015 it was also a parish church, a unique combination in England, but the parish boundaries have been redrawn and St Bartholomew the Less now has the status of a chapel of ease within the parish of St Bartholomew the Great, whose church lies a hundred yards off.
The church had acquired parish status in the 1540s at the time of the Reformation, and was rebuilt in a pleasing Georgian octagonal shape by Thomas Hardwick in the 1820s, completing the plan and work of George Dance. The tower survives from the late medieval church.
Of all City churches, St Bartholomew the Less can be guaranteed to be open all day, every day, and so you will be able to step into its simple, pleasing and in some ways surprising interior. The floor is raised, a theatrical effect, and the sanctuary contributed by Hardwick gives the building focus. The linenfold woodwork is delightful. The jolly postwar glass (the church suffered blast damage) is by Hugh Easton, not always a safe pair of hands but here he was on top form.
Most of the memorials are to former surgeons and doctors associated with the church, but Easton's windows remember the nurses. Most unusually for the City of London churches, St Bartholomew the Less has brasses, and these contribute to the feel of a church which is quite different to any of its City compatriots.
On my last visit I was followed into the church by four Italian tourists, who quickly realised their mistake and headed back out to find St Bartholomew the Great. The only other visitor was a woman in a dressing gown who lit a candle and sobbed quietly. Sometimes you need this in the City to remind you what the churches are actually there for.

And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.

Are on Winter's Traces
"Remember God and worship HIM when you are happy. Forget yourself when you are in sorrows. Peace comes to you of its own accord. energy and enthusiasm (to act), and courage of the mind to move forward, can be acquired from serenity." --SGS
Remember Fukushima
On the third anniversary of the tragic events following the tsunami and the resulting nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Greens/EFA MEPs carried out a symbolic action to remember the disaster and its victims at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
This followed a press conference with Naoto Matsumura, the last man living in the forbidden zone of Fukushima, hosted by green MEPs Sandrine Bélier and Michele Rivasi.

#Fukushima #Nuclear
Today one year ago Thomas' favorite volcano, Mount Etna, took him away from us and his family in a tragic accident. Needless to say, he has not been and will not be forgotten, for his friendship, his magnificent images, and his adventurous and curious spirit. In his short but purposeful life, Thomas has achieved and experienced what many people never will even in 80 years of existence. He traveled the world, completed a Ph.D., and lived multiple hobbies and passions to the fullest, amongst them his beloved volcanoes.
While I never had the opportunity to meet Thomas in person, we have communicated on numerous occasions via flickr and email, at one point almost planning a trip to Etna together, which was only dropped because of Etna's lack of activity at the time. Thomas had also expressed a strong interest in visiting the Semeru volcano, alone or together, which is why I would like to dedicate the above picture to him.
Thomas, you live on in our memories and through your magnificent images!
