Supporters of the former Ukrainian Prime Minister and opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko carry a giant banner a with Tymoshenko portrait on it as they shout slogans such as 'Freedom for Yulia!' during a rally in downtown Kiev, Ukraine, 27 April 2012. About 2,000 protesters demanded Ukrainian authorities to release jailed Tymoshenko and to stop political repressions in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych on 26 April had announced said his government would investigate alleged abuse suffered by jailed former Prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, as pressure mounted on Ukraine ahead of a European football tournament

Many thanks to my dear friend Fifichat (Francoise)- here you will find many informations in FRENCH and ENGLISH:

Quotation Francoise:"*I specify for those who haven't seen the Beta page;that there is NO white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations / flickr Award Counter
Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments
White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes
No sense. Hard to write comments exceeding 2 or 3 words
We can't see who faved our pictures
We can't see the groups the pictures appear in ( except only 8 )
Awards images. are not shown in comments
Admin-Invitations are not displayed ( the last ones are visible ONLY in "Recent Activity").The oldest are lost
For admins , group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible
Some groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures
They allow us to admire beautiful works and to meet with great photographers"
Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden
NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE
In fact this layout specifically targets tablets and smartphones
Unfortunately everything we can do seems absolutely useless ....
Yahoo and Flickr don't care
Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for people (mainly teens and young ) using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol
Motivated photographers still using computers (with photo-softwares) and large screens are no longer desirable customers....
( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity" Page....The oldest are lost ....and everything is done to impede their functioning)
Advertising is much much more lucrative than our Pro accounts .......
How many people know what represents the Beta Page ?? I wonder ?
Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them
Users of any other language have not been informed.... amazing No ??"
All this is very discouraging " ****End quotation Francoise***
I use frequently the English version and realized (or I'm blind) that there is NO word, discussion or forum about the upcoming change in German.
Therefore a translation in German about the upcoming changes.
DEUTSCH:
Liebe Flickr Freunde,
Seit vielen Wochen verfolgen wir die Informationen und Links von Freunden, die der neuen, bald kommenden Beta-Version als 'Tester" "ausgeliefert" waren oder Diskussionen in den Englischen Foren.
Wie ich eben festgestellt habe, findet sich keinerlei Hinweis, Erklärung oder Diskussion auf der deutschen Flickr-Version.
Aufgrund einiger Anfragen unter dem Deutschen "Black Day" - Foto deshalb hier einige Erklärungen in Deutsch für diejenigen, die die geplante auf uns zukommende Beta-Version nicht kennen.
Zunächst die Screenshots von Anuij Nair mit entsprechenden Erkärungen:

Es macht überhaupt keinen Sinn, die Augen davor zu verschliessen, dass mit der
geplanten Beta Version einschneidende Einschänkungen auf uns zukommen.
Wir hoffen, durch Protest mit "Flickr's schwarzem Tag" doch noch etwas erreichen zu können.
Bitte, ladet Euch das Foto oben auf Eure "eigenen Fotos" hoch und postet es entweder morgen als Information UND in jedem Fall am Sonntag auf Euerm Fotostream, ohne weitere Fotos an diesem Tag hochzuladen.
Die Einschränkungen sind gravierend:
Es wird keinen weißen Raum mehr unter unseren Fotos geben, der Platz für
einen Titel, eine Beschreibung des Fotos oder einen Link (Youtube etc.-Musik) zulassen wird.
Es wird nur einen schmalen shwarzen Streifen mit weissen Buchstaben neben dem Bild geben,
der den Augen wehtut. Darauf sind ALLE Möglichkeiten, zu interagieren zusammengepfercht.
Ein Kommentar wird sich auf 2-3 Worte begnügen müssen.
Maximal 4 Kommentare werden sichtbar sein,
Wir werden nicht sehen können, wer unser Foto gefavt hat.
Nur 8 von den Gruppen, in denen unsere Fotos zu sehen sind,
werden sichtbar sein.
Admin-Einladungen zu Gruppen werden nicht mehr sichtbar sein,
wir müssen sie unter "letzte Aktivität" suchen.
Sie werden nach einiger Zeit nicht mehr zu sehen sein.
Schlimm sowohl für Mitglieder als auch Moderatoren von Gruppen.
Es macht die Arbeit schier unmöglich.
Das Gruppenlogo wird nicht mehr zu sehen sein, lediglich det Text.
(auch bei Award Codes).
"Es scheint offensichtlich, dass Yahoo Flickr in ein anderes soziales Netzwerk für Tablets- and Smartphones-Nutzer
umwandeln möchte, die "Hi" oder "LOL" als Kommentar benutzen und von Foto zu Foto eilen. Werbung ist wichtiger geworden." Zitat Forum.
Protesters and Police mix it up a bit on O'Conner Street in Ottawa. Nothing serious came of it and it ended quickly. Monday April 15 2024
Midday on a rather humid Sunday, about 75-100 protestors gathered for a march on the southern edges of Elmhurst, Illinois, an overwhelmingly white suburb 10 miles west of the Chicago city limits. Spirits were high and the march proceeded 4.3 miles (7 km) north on foot through a residential area, downtown Elmhurst, and a busy commercial section of York Road. While the march progressed through the residential area, a number of protestors joined those already marching. The participants raised their voices in words of solidarity for those killed by police as well as in calls for reform. Some motorists made known their support for the protest by blowing their horns and by displaying positive hand gestures. Near the downtown and on a grassy knoll directly across from the local police department, the entire group stopped to kneel for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in memory of George Floyd. The participants of the march were mostly white and the march ended on the north side of the suburb after approximately two hours of marching.
Part of the march's Facebook page description stated the following:
"This is a visible, peaceful protest through Elmhurst, IL. The purpose of this protest is to continue the momentum of anti-racism movements such as Black Lives Matter and Say Her Name. After the public lynching of George Floyd, our white dominated town has started to open its eyes to the many forms of racism ingrained in ourselves and our town. Since the murder of George Floyd, many other Black bodies have been disrespected, abused, targeted, and murdered, and our anti-racist actions cannot end. We must look inward at ourselves and our predominantly white town to see the countless ways we perpetuate systems of oppression and white supremacy in our daily lives. With this march, we will be protesting the countless forms of systemic racism we see in our home town—in our police, schools, medical care, sports, and personal lives."

The crowd protesting the shutdown at the Ohio Statehouse yesterday...
I went downtown planning to just walk around and take a few photos on the mostly empty streets. I knew there were protests, but I didn't realize all this was happening until I got down there. I stayed across the street and far away from them, but I felt I had to document the craziness...
These Unite Union members are protesting about the use of meat imported from Thailand, they are concerned it will drive down conditions for low paid workers in Britain and Ireland.
The union has taken their concerns to Tesco but no action has been shown to be taken so they are asking consumers to support the campaign for clear labeling of meat.

Frankfurt Corona Protest 8.08.2020
Nach der großen Coronademonstration in Berlin hat die bizarre deutsche Regierung beschlossen, hart durchzugreifen. Obwohl die Frankfurter Coronaproteste im Gegensatz zu anderen Demonstrationen bisher immer friedlich waren, hat man ein großes Polizeiaufgebot in Bewegung gesetzt und die rechtswidrige Maskenpflicht bei Demonstrationen zum Anlass genommen, den Protestspaziergang zu stoppen. Selbstverständlich war kein Teilnehmer bereit, eine Maske anzulegen. Bei extremer Hitze (bisher heißester Tag des Jahres) und trotz der zahlreichen anderen Spaziergänger, die auch keine Maske tragen mussten.
After the big corona demonstration in Berlin, the bizarre German government decided to crack down hard. Although the Frankfurt corona protests, unlike other demonstrations, have always been peaceful, a large police force has been set in motion and the illegal requirement to wear masks during demonstrations has been used as an argument to stop the protest walk. Of course, no participant was willing to put on a mask. In extreme heat (the hottest day of the year so far) and despite the numerous other walkers who also did not have to wear a mask.

These three police officers stood by while the crowd across the street protested. I don't remember why they were protesting, but I remember there was a good reason.
Not exactly sure what these guys are protesting about; there seems to be a number of issues in the mix, some local, some of wider applicability. I suspect there's a fair sweep of libertarianism in their approach, which I'm generally against, but they appear to despise Klaus Schwab and the WEF and that's cool with me. They at least have a right to have their voice heard.

A protest message written on an idyllic landscape. Anyone like to take a stab at translating it? The scenery on the right of shot looks suspiciously like the heather and glens of Scotland. I don't think China has anything remotely resembling this.

A little light entertainment when the march came to a temporary standstill on Cambie Bridge, there were too many of us..
An estimated 5,000 people turned out for the march to protest the Kinder Morgan pipeline, which will bring crude oil and refined petroleum from the oil sands in Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia, presumably to be shipped to China. This will increase tanker traffic in and is a danger to our already threatened marine life in the Inside Passage, where two recent spills in two months have already occurred this year. An estimated 5,000 protesters joined the march, from the City Hall to the downtown library.

Random protest at Syntagma metro station. The "bikers" were requesting that the transportation of bicycles be allowed in the metro trains. Actually, it is allowed, as long as the bikes can and are folded (...response to forum comment: yes, I do understand that these bikes are more expensive).
Although I cannot argue with what they were requesting, they were very loud and obnoxious. People, you should not start shouting and riding bikes at high speed in closed, confined places with a lot of people around. Take it to the square outside or the streets.
