Peuple maudit des confins pyrénéens de l’Occitanie et de l’Espagne, les Cagots sont bien connus des ancêtres des actuels Gascons et Béarnais. Parias à travers les siècles, leur origine demeure un mystère .

Jusqu’au milieu du XVIIe siècle et un édit de Louis XIV, ils furent discriminés et soumis à de nombreux interdits au sein des communautés villageoises. Victimes d’un racisme populaire systémique, ils n’ont pas le droit de résider au village, de toucher l’eau, de posséder du bétail, de marcher pied nu, d’exercer de nombreuses professions, de se marier avec des non-Cagots, d’entrer à l’église par la même porte que les Cagots, de porter une arme ou encore de combattre, leur quotidien est d’une dureté extrême.

Ils n’ont pas le droit d’avoir un nom de famille et, pour limiter la consanguinité, ils doivent parcourir des kilomètres afin de trouver un ou une partenaire qui ne soit pas de leur famille.

Les sacrements religieux leur sont également interdits et ils doivent porter, selon les endroits, des vêtements rouges, une patte d’oie ou une patte de canard sur leur veston.

Il fallut attendre les lendemains de la Révolution française pour voir disparaître définitivement les discriminations locales à l’égard de ce peuple même si, déjà, sous Louis XIV, un édit et plusieurs décisions du parlement de Bordeaux avaient demandé à ce que cesse toute discrimination à l’égard des Cagots afin, notamment, de les soumettre à l’impôt. Malgré cela, les mentalités villageoises, difficiles à changer, surtout lorsqu’elles sont aussi isolées de tout centre de pouvoir, avaient mis plusieurs siècles à évoluer. En Espagne, cette évolution est encore plus tardive, il fallut attendre le XIXe siècle pour que le parlement de Navarre se décide à voter une loi abolissant la discrimination des Cagots.

___________________________________________

Cursed people from the Pyrenean borders of Occitania and Spain, the Cagots are well known to the ancestors of today's Gascons and Béarnais. Outcasts through the centuries, their origin remains a mystery.

Until the middle of the 17th century and an edict of Louis XIV, they were discriminated against and subjected to numerous bans within village communities. Victims of systemic popular racism, they are prohibited from residing in the village, touching water, owning livestock, walking barefoot, exercising many professions, marrying non- Cagots, to enter church through the same door as the Cagots, to carry a weapon or to fight, their daily life is extremely harsh.

They are not allowed to have a last name and, to limit inbreeding, they have to travel miles to find a partner who is not related to their family.

The religious sacraments are also forbidden to them and they must wear, according to the places, red clothes, a crow's feet or a duck's feet on their jacket.

It was not until the aftermath of the French Revolution to see the definitive disappearance of local discrimination against this people even if, already, under Louis XIV, an edict and several decisions of the Parliament of Bordeaux had called for an end to all discrimination against this people. with regard to Cagots in order, in particular, to subject them to tax. Despite this, village mentalities, which are difficult to change, especially when they are so isolated from any center of power, had taken several centuries to evolve. In Spain, this development is even later, it was not until the 19th century that the Parliament of Navarre decided to pass a law abolishing discrimination against Cagots.

______________________________________________

Malditos de las fronteras pirenaicas de Occitania y España, los Cagots son bien conocidos por los antepasados ​​de los actuales gascones y bearneses. Desterrados a través de los siglos, su origen sigue siendo un misterio.

Hasta mediados del siglo XVII y un edicto de Luis XIV, fueron discriminados y sometidos a numerosas prohibiciones dentro de las comunidades del pueblo. Víctimas del racismo popular sistémico, se les prohíbe residir en el pueblo, tocar agua, poseer ganado, caminar descalzo, ejercer muchas profesiones, casarse con no cagots, entrar a la iglesia por la misma puerta que los cagots, portar un arma o lucha, su vida diaria es extremadamente dura.

No se les permite tener apellido y, para limitar la endogamia, tienen que viajar millas para encontrar una pareja que no sea pariente de su familia.

Los sacramentos religiosos también están prohibidos para ellos y deben llevar, según los lugares, ropa roja, patas de gallo o patas de pato en la chaqueta.

No fue hasta las secuelas de la Revolución Francesa para ver la desaparición definitiva de la discriminación local contra este pueblo, aunque ya, bajo Luis XIV, un edicto y varias decisiones del Parlamento de Burdeos habían pedido el fin de toda discriminación contra este pueblo. personas.con respecto a los Cagots para, en particular, someterlos a impuestos. A pesar de esto, las mentalidades de las aldeas, que son difíciles de cambiar, especialmente cuando están tan aisladas de cualquier centro de poder, habían tardado varios siglos en evolucionar. En España, este desarrollo es incluso posterior, no fue hasta el siglo XIX cuando el Parlamento de Navarra decidió aprobar una ley que aboliera la discriminación contra los Cagots.

___________________________________________

Verfluchte Menschen von den Pyrenäengrenzen von Okzitanien und Spanien, die Cagots sind den Vorfahren der heutigen Gascogne und des Béarnais gut bekannt. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte Ausgestoßene, bleibt ihr Ursprung ein Rätsel.

Bis Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts und einem Edikt Ludwigs XIV. wurden sie innerhalb der Dorfgemeinschaften diskriminiert und zahlreichen Verboten unterworfen. Als Opfer von systemischem Volksrassismus ist es ihnen untersagt, sich im Dorf aufzuhalten, Wasser zu berühren, Vieh zu besitzen, barfuß zu gehen, viele Berufe auszuüben, Nicht-Cagots zu heiraten, die Kirche durch die gleiche Tür wie die Cagots zu betreten, eine Waffe zu tragen oder kämpfen, ihr tägliches Leben ist extrem hart.

Sie dürfen keinen Nachnamen haben und müssen, um Inzucht einzuschränken, kilometerweit reisen, um einen Partner zu finden, der nicht mit ihrer Familie verwandt ist.

Auch die religiösen Sakramente sind ihnen verboten und sie müssen je nach Ort rote Kleidung, Krähenfüße oder Entenfüße an ihrer Jacke tragen.

Erst nach der Französischen Revolution konnte die lokale Diskriminierung dieses Volkes endgültig verschwinden, auch wenn bereits unter Ludwig XIV. ein Edikt und mehrere Beschlüsse des Parlaments von Bordeaux ein Ende aller diesbezüglichen Diskriminierungen gefordert hatten Personen in Bezug auf Cagots, um sie insbesondere der Besteuerung zu unterwerfen. Trotzdem hat es mehrere Jahrhunderte gedauert, bis sich die dörfliche Mentalität entwickelt hat, die sich nur schwer ändern lässt, insbesondere wenn sie so von jedem Machtzentrum isoliert ist. In Spanien ist diese Entwicklung noch später, erst im 19. Jahrhundert beschloss das Parlament von Navarra ein Gesetz zur Abschaffung der Diskriminierung von Cagots.

______________________________________________

Popolo maledetto dei confini pirenaici dell'Occitania e della Spagna, i Cagots sono ben noti agli antenati degli odierni Guasconi e Béarnais. Emarginati attraverso i secoli, la loro origine rimane un mistero.

Fino alla metà del XVII secolo e ad un editto di Luigi XIV, furono discriminati e sottoposti a numerosi divieti all'interno delle comunità dei villaggi. Vittime del razzismo popolare sistemico, è loro vietato risiedere nel villaggio, toccare l'acqua, possedere bestiame, camminare scalzi, esercitare molte professioni, sposare non Cagots, entrare in chiesa dalla stessa porta dei Cagots, portare un'arma o combattono, la loro vita quotidiana è estremamente dura.

Non possono avere un cognome e, per limitare la consanguineità, devono percorrere miglia per trovare un partner che non sia imparentato con la loro famiglia.

A loro sono vietati anche i sacramenti religiosi e devono indossare, a seconda dei luoghi, abiti rossi, zampe di gallina o zampe d'anatra sulla giacca.

Solo all'indomani della Rivoluzione francese si assistette alla definitiva scomparsa della discriminazione locale nei confronti di questo popolo anche se, già sotto Luigi XIV, un editto e diverse decisioni del Parlamento di Bordeaux avevano chiesto la fine di ogni discriminazione contro questo popolo persone nei confronti dei Cagots al fine, in particolare, di assoggettarli a tassazione. Nonostante questo, le mentalità di villaggio, difficili da cambiare, soprattutto quando sono così isolate da qualsiasi centro di potere, hanno impiegato diversi secoli per evolversi. In Spagna, questo sviluppo è ancora successivo, solo nel XIX secolo il Parlamento di Navarra decise di approvare una legge che aboliva la discriminazione contro Cagots.

We have a dream to touch the sky, to reach the higher as we can. Our lives start war & fight to achieve those dreams. This whole word is behind that run.

But she is here on the road, sitting so silently with her peaceful tiny little dreams that our life wont let us to touch her dream. We all r really alone inside a glass box that we call OUR WORLD.

A Poison Frog

Hagaparken, Sweden

From the Gallery: Sweden 2009

--

Poison dart frogs, members of the Dendrobatidae family, wear some of the most brilliant and beautiful colors on Earth. Depending on individual habitats, which extend from the tropical forests of Costa Rica to Brazil, their coloring can be yellow, gold, copper, red, green, blue, or black. Their elaborate designs and hues are deliberately ostentatious to ward off potential predators, a tactic called aposematic coloration.

Some species display unusual parenting habits, including carrying both eggs and tadpoles on their backs. Although this "backpacking" is not unique among amphibians, male poison arrow frogs are exceptional in their care, attending to the clutch, sometimes exclusively, and performing vital transportation duties.

Dendrobatids include some of the most toxic animals on Earth. The two-inch-long (five-centimeter-long) golden poison dart frog has enough venom to kill 10 grown men. Indigenous Emberá people of Colombia have used its powerful venom for centuries to tip their blowgun darts when hunting, hence the genus' common name.

Untouchable

Untouchable like a distant diamond sky

I'm reaching out and I just can't tell you why

I'm caught up in you, I'm caught up in you

Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun

And when you're close, I feel like coming undone

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

You gotta come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, little taste of heaven

It's half full and I won't wait here all day

I know you're saying that you'd be here anyway

But you're untouchable, burning brighter than the sun

Now that you're close, I feel like coming undone

I´ve been in cities for so long that today was the first time I was able to touch my camera in the last 3 days. I want to get out of the cities! Although I am in Sucre and it is gorgeous, probably one of my favorite cities Ive been to on this trip. Yesterday I was shown around La Paz and interviewed by a reporter for a local fashion magazine. It was really nice, I got to see a lot of the city that I would never have seen otherwise. I´ll go hiking and see dinosaur tracks tomorrow. Travel agencies said I´d have to pay around $15 a person, but I asked the girl working at the front desk of the place we´re staying if she knows any one and she offered to show us around for free! Ill probably break away for 15 minutes to a take a photo if I have a chance, I drew up a bunch of concepts for when the time is right.

LX Glasses V2!

Hello Everyone! i wasn't happy with my previous release and though it could have been improved and you deserved something even better. So i reworked the mesh and texture of it to give it a more luxurious feel and touch. It will also allow a better and easier fit on your head. Hope you will enjoy the update !

Something as well i have to say, like many other creators all the futurs product will only be PBR as it allow us to have results more closer of what we designed and doing both PBR and legacy is litteraly asking the double of time of work which is too much. So as pbr is the futur of SL i've decided to only work with it from now.

thank for your support!
