 and protesters and photographers scatter in a demonstration near the \'separation fence\' in the West Bank village of Bil\'in on 20 August 2010. Palestinian and international protesters tied blindfolds over their eyes and faced-off against the soldiers duplicating conditions which came to the world\'s attention recently when a former Israeli soldier posted photos on her Facebook page showing her with blindfolded and handcuffed Palestinian detainees. A rock was thrown and hit a soldier in the face and then tear gas was fired by the soldiers to disperse the crowd.',700,700);)

 pass Palestinians from the al-Ghawe family, including young daughter Sara, who holds a Palestinian flag, as the settlers leave their home, in the Shiekh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem on 02 August 2010. Two Palestinians families, the al-Ghawe and Hanoun families, today marked the one-year anniversary of their eviction from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah with a protest at the site, and a march to the United Nations compound in East Jerusalem',700,700);)
 and his wife and infant child (L) leave their home in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Arab East Jerusalem on 02 August 2010 and pass members of the al-Ghawe family, including young daughter Sara, who holds a Palestinian flag at the door to the house that they used to live in. The al-Ghawe and Hanoun families were evicted one year ago today from their homes in Sheik Jarrah, which were then occupied by Jewish settlers.',700,700);)

I didn\'t notice it. The policeman is an officer and has been in charge of watching the weekly-demos in Sheikh Jarrah since they began in October 2009. No wonder he is worried - could be he is worried if he\'ll ever get assigned another "beat."',700,700);)

, known as "El Cid", David Fandila (L), known as "El Fandi", and and Miguel Tendero, bow and wave to the \'presidente" of the bullring in Pamplona, Spain as the bullfight of July 13, 2010 begins with the opening parade or "paseo", before the first of six bulls comes into the ring to be killed. The Catalan Parliament on today voted to ban bullfighting, the first region on mainland Spain to do so. Many say the vote against bullfighting has more to do with the Catalan nationalist movement\'s sentiments than bullfighting itself, although the spectacle has been in decline for many years in this area of Spain that includes Barcelona. The only place bullfights take place in Catalonia is in barcelona and that is mainly for tourists. The ruling does not come into effect until Jan 2012, and the Catalan courts still have to uphold the ban, something they could overturn as bullfighting has to do with culture and art, and not just killing animals.<br />\r\n++++++++++<br />\r\nSo, I post this photo on this dark , ominous day for the "arte" del toreo, and for all the aficionados out there. Remember, doing away with the bullfight will take away the last remaining reason to raise the \'toro bravo\' and if bullfights are universally banned the toro will become extinct, as there will no longer be any reason in keeping and raising toros bravos. It will become a domesticated animal, through legalization. What a pity that would be - the most revered animal in all history (and prehistory - the cave art of Altamira, Lascaux, Niaux to name a few)gone after 50,000 years of worship and cult-figure status. Don\'t get me started - I could write pages on this..maybe I should.',700,700);)
