TURKISH REBEL IN 90 SECONDS! on Vimeo
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/06/01/a-stunning-90-second-video-of-turkeys-protests/
Protesters and riot police are clashing for a second day in Istanbul, after Friday's demonstrations injured 1,000 people, according to a Turkish doctors' association, apparently intensifying the already deep outrage against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government.
The protests started over the government's plan to turn a park into a mall but have since, according to the New York Times, "become a broad rebuke to the 10-year leadership of Mr. Erdogan and his Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party, which the protesters say has adopted authoritarian tactics."
Seda Erdam, a U.K.-based Turkish health researcher, explained the protests against Erdogan succinctly on Twitter: "Turks elected this government to get rid of military influence, thus for more democracy. People are disappointed now."
The harsh police response to the protests, as displayed clearly in the video above, are likely to further fuel the disillusionment with Erdogan's rule and the fear that he may not be delivering the democracy that he and his party had promised. It also shows the struggle of the protesters themselves, who have massed in the thousands. The man, 23 seconds in, who is coughing so hard he doubles over in pain appears to be suffering from the effects of tear gas.
There are a number of interesting frames in this short video. One comes at about 1:00, when protesters drag makeshift metal barricades along a promenade, presumably to block off police. Another is about 50 seconds in, when some men casually wander the streets as a large fire burns in the background. As the recent protest movements in places such as Egypt, Greece and Spain have shown, demonstrators tend to gain broader public support when they are the peaceful victims of police abuse (this shocking photo has circulated widely on Turkish social media) and to lose it when they begin threatening public order.
We're not there yet, but watch for the inevitable tension between those two narratives as the protests continue. Check back, as we'll be covering them all week.

Join the Clan / [color=green]Accepted[/color] Hello You Incredible Beasts
May 07, 2013, 09:58:43 AM
About You and Your Account
I'm applying to the Wilderness Guardians clan
1. What is your current RuneScape username, and what are your past usernames, if any?
Currently: Sit_Silly
Original: Wizard Storm
I will be changing it back to the original after the full 28 wait days are over, as I miss it and this being the first time I changed it, I do not want anything but my original.
2. Tell us about your RuneScape account and history (e.g. when you started, what your RSN means, favourite activities, etc.):
I started playing runescape in the summer of 2001, I met two kids at the courthouse ( I don't know why I was there I think I was walking around ) and they showed me what they were playing as I had shown interest in it. They set me up with a few items, and I haven't heard from them since and wish I did though :( MY RSN is nothing, Sit Silly was me being bored and random and Wizard Storm was me like storms and wizards at the time lol. I only play runescape nowadays since 07 is back, I don't really do anything IRL but drink, and bar hop tbh.
3. Tell us about yourself (Name (if you are comfortable), gender, age, country, hobbies, music, talents, likes and dislikes):
My name is Randy, I know you already have one here, and I remember him from when I use to be here as an FA I think many years ago. I'm male obviously, females have an I like Randi. :) I'm 25 and I live in Colorado USA. I just moved here from KY. I don't really have any hobbies but runescape and drinking. I love all music, I'm listening to some now :)I have no talents. None. I like and dislike everything at the same time. I use to have a farm but now it's just sitting there because I moved here, but the reasons why are a story for another time.
4. How did you hear about us, and what makes you want to join WG?
I use to be some type of WG, either FA or a new member. I think I was here for about 2 months? Give or take. Thats when things were really bad with runescape and everyone was inactive and I was losing my mind, literally, one reason for my move :), I AC'd your fight with ER the other day and I was quite surprised to see the activity in which you've grown to already. As I remember there being an event where only 1 person showed up to, and I was quite annoyed. I would love to rejoin this community that as I can recall is probably the best one I've seen in terms of Runescape, though THE do run pretty close :P
Your PvP Experience
5. What multi-combat PvP experience do you have? Be sure to mention any recent or past F2P or P2P PvP clans you have been in.
I can give you a list, but I can't give you reasons as most have been over the last 7-8 years and I cannot remember them. Otherwise I would tell you.
I was Solar Angels to start with, I know all there is to know about this one. I was there from 06 to about late 08 to 09. Give or take. Whenever the original died.
WG.
DF - FA.
DI - FA.
Dragonwood.
RSD - FA.
Envy.
Exalt.
The.
COR - FA - HATED IT, LEFT.
Gladz.
Reckoning Day - Friend had me join to help them be active, but it wasn't and they died.
Chivalry Legions - Was fun to pvp with, just I was in the wrong timezone at the time.
Crimson Raiders.
Golden Sun.
The Rising - I think? I don't remember honestly.
Genesis. - Didn't like the community at the time, got recruited to EOS.
EOS. - I lost my internet and was gone from October 2012 to April 2013. Did not rejoin when I came back as I got recruited to ER first.
ER - There fun, there all my friends, just, I can't be in a clan that doesn't know what there doing, even when people try to help. There learning, but they have no clue.
And here I am... Again.. Don't hate :( I know it's a long list.
6. Our warring times are usually between 4PM EST/9PM GMT and 6PM EST/11PM GMT on weekends, and sometimes weekdays. Can you regularly be active at these times?
I'm 24/7 active so Yes.
7. Do you agree to keep your PvP gear well stocked? Can you stock up on the required gear found as a sticky in the 'Join the Clan' forum?
I need to do a few more quests but thats expected being so new to 07 servers, but yes I should be able to get the best possible gear according to the 'Join the Clan' forum stickies.
Until then I'll have the best I can wear that's cost effective. Red Dhide instead of Black, etc. 9 more range lvls >.>
8. Do you understand that all PvP events are mandatory if you are online, and that you face removal from the clan should you blatantly skip these events?
Of course I understand.
Your Activity and Availability
9. Do you agree to check our forums daily, be on IRC at all times while you are in game, and to be on TeamSpeak for all wars and raids? (Please note, these are third party programs, but clans have been using them for years and are crucial to our success, as such they ARE a requirement. Further details can be provided on request.)
I'll be on the forums from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep, as well as teamspeak and IRC.
10. Is there anything in the near future that may impact your activity or ability to attend events?
Nothing. I am Runescape No Lifer with nothing to do but that, for a long time coming.
