There was a protest against Israel's attacks on Gaza outside the Informatics Forum today, when I happened to be eating lunch on the fourth floor.
This photo has fewer irritating reflections that the previous one, although I think i prefer the portrait orientation.

SP-justitiewoordvoerder Sharon Gesthuizen heeft vandaag samen met de in toga demonstrerende advocaten geprotesteerd tegen de bezuinigingen van het ministerie van Veiligheid en Justitie.

De Nederlandse Orde van Advocaten, initiatiefnemer van de actie ‘Recht voor iedereen’ overhandigde de aanwezige Kamerleden een petitie met duizenden handtekeningen. Gesthuizen, fel tegenstander van deze ‘aanslag op de rechtsstaat’, sprak de demonstrerende advocaten vandaag toe.

The election for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court was very close, but was won by Allison Riggs by a margin of about 800 votes. After the announcement, challenger Jefferson Griffin and his legal team disputed over 60,000 votes claiming administrative errors. It’s become a flashpoint in the state that is still smoldering. The election was in early November and the issue is still not resolved. Many of the protesters in these pictures were notified of administrative issues with their votes. A hyphen in a voter’s last name was a common “administrative issue” that caused a vote to be cancelled. The recount of votes without the 60,000 votes will certainly put Jefferson Griffon on the bench of the NC Supreme Court.
Today while the 10 to 12 thousand Tamils marched downtown to demostrate that they have not yet figured out that two wrongs do not make a right, about 70 Tamil-Canadians gathered on the pedestrian bridge over the DVP to protest against the Sri Lankan civil war AND the LTTE.

Under the directions of social worker Mr. Parhlad Kumar Aggarwal CBSE’s
daily vase worker’s protest going on under Gandhigiri with rose. There way
of protesting is not a violent act at all rather to make people realize
their importance they are presenting to them with roses. CBSE’s daily vase
worker’s are protesting peacefully since 21st June 2008 to get their
demands fulfilled. It came to notice they were fired from their work on
30th June 2008 while their term was due for first week of September. They
were demanding to give them their jobs back and provide them with their
complete wage of the whole year. Apart from this they demanded not to
treat them like slaves, like other workers they must also be provided
with basic facilities. Mr. Parhlad Kumar Aggarwal who is protesting on
behalf of these workers told that these workers are buying these flowers
from the money that they had kept for milking their children so that the
protest may go on smoothly in spite of these the government is not paying
attention towards this, may be because the government only understands the
language of violence (like recentlyk happened in Gujjar aandolan). Our
government should treat all the protest equally and understand the need
behind this. It must be understand that these workers are imparting their
services since 14 years, so rather than making new appointments on these
posts, why don’t make these workers permanent. Rather our government
system is promoting contract system of working labor; the basic reason for
this is the illegal way of getting money with the mean association of the
contractors and the concerned officers. Government need to ban this
contractual system considering it a bounded labor system and as soon as
possible apply the system of equal pay for equal work so that frequent
committing of suicides and deaths because of huger may be stopped. These
workers are not bagging rather they are demanding deserving rights and
protesting against government rules since long time by applications. Now,
finding no other way, they have to choose the way of protesting which is
again not violent rather a complete peaceful protest and for this their
way is presenting flowers to the concerned officers. In spite of being
hungry by themselves they are sending their petitions to the government
along with flowers and doing candle-march to show light to the government
which has sunk in darkness, in bright sunlight. In spite of this, Human
Resource Development Ministry and CBSE are not ready to accept our demands
and are not ready to talk which is clearly evident of the fact the our
democratic Indian government is violent rather non-violent, and this is
completely unconstitutional.

It’s objectively too late to restrain population and consumption growth so as to avert what ecologists of the 1970s called a “hard landing.”
It is the lie that human society can continue growing its population and consumption levels indefinitely on our finite planet, and never suffer consequences.
Perhaps Donald Trump succeeded because his promises spoke to what civilizations in decline tend to want to hear. It could be argued that the pluralistic, secular, cosmopolitan, tolerant, constitutional democratic nation state is a political arrangement appropriate for a growing economy buoyed by pervasive optimism. (On a scale much smaller than contemporary America, ancient Greece and Rome during their early expansionary periods provided examples of this kind of political-social arrangement). As societies contract, people turn fearful, angry, and pessimistic—and fear, anger, and pessimism fairly dripped from Trump’s inaugural address. In periods of decline, strongmen tend to arise promising to restore past glories and to defeat domestic and foreign enemies. Repressive kleptocracies are the rule rather than the exception.
Yes.. when world leaders like Trump & Erdogan visit our country, we stage protest marches.

A group of Romanians protested the use of cyanide in gold mining operations in Romania. For several hours on a brisk spring day, they gathered in front of mine company investor John Paulson, hedge fund manager, investor, and held up banners and passed out flyers.
The protest was part of a larger international movement against the Romanian government’s controversial decision to allow a Canadian firm to build Europe’s largest opencast gold mine.
Environmentalists and activists are warning that the mine, if opened, would lead to the destruction of four mountain peaks and three villages. Terrible as that would be, their greatest fear is the planned use of cyanide, a highly toxic substance, that is required for the mining process—12,000 tons of it each year.
The fear is well grounded in recent history. In 2000, a cyanide spill near the town of Baia Mare, Romania, occurred when a dam containing toxic mining waste burst, releasing 100 tons of cyanide-contaminated waste water into the Lapus, the Somes, as well as the Tisza and Danube rivers.
Considered the worst environmental disaster since the Chernobyl nuclear leak in 1986, the poisoning of the river Tisza resulted in the destruction of the river's entire ecosystem in a matter of days, everything from microbes to otters, according to the BBC.
