once i consider you, my coronary heart sings a bit of love song,that make butterflies dance and that's why i cant cease smiling.
You may't tell everybody all the things. Some belongings you just should keep secret. If you're doing one thing that no one else is doing and it's working, then hold your secret. If you wish to be inventive don't allow your strategies to be revealed. Since 2006, I have written sensible articles and newsletters each week about simplifying life, lowering stress , social abilities, shallowness and improving your happiness and awesomeness. That is, while most shout to be independent, they on the same time wish to be dependent, and whereas most shout to claim themselves, they at the same time wish to be instructed what to do.
And what that is going to create in America is a special form of aristocracy that is going to be self-perpetuating, except we discover ways to break that juggernaut.. I believe what that basically reflects is the fact that assets, and not wealth necessarily, but just good middle-class sources, should purchase high quality of experience for youngsters. Just as you're being blessed with a baby, your baby might be blessed to have you as a mother or father. Congratulations. No matter how good instructing could also be, each pupil must take the duty for his own training.
I still cannot say…or spell paraproskokea…ian, but it was loads of enjoyable reading through these phrases and about their origins. And as I all the time say to individuals refuse to plans,make a to do list or even make notes – If you can bear in mind all the pieces it's worthwhile to do you aren't very busy. Motion is character, our English instructor says. I feel it signifies that if we never did anything, we would not be anybody and I by no means did anything before I met you.
MsDora, former instructor and Christian counselor is also an avid Bible student and likes to compile user-friendly Bible quotes by topics. A wise mom means that her child carry an apple to his trainer; a better mom suggests that he carry a couple of aspirins. This is a pretty lens, Sema. A good reminder that we should never forget to say thanks. Two little words imply a lot. Blessed.

Blockchain – key to our digital fabricBlog
Today, consumer technologies like Amazon Alexa can anticipate and fulfill our every need and whim.
Alexa commands connected devices around the house to deliver your every consumer need to your doorstep through Amazon's retail services. The more she learns, the more she can achieve as your digital intermediary.
Alexa is at the forefront of rapidly emerging solutions that are enabling a super smart society. The creation of robot servants, autonomous vehicles, and intelligent clothing are reshaping human to machine interaction. Without us thinking too much about it, we're embracing highly intimate and dependant relationships with these complex digital systems.
Can these systems meet our rising expectations for seamless experiences and trust? Not today. Weaknesses in conventional digital systems are compromising systems of trust.
Enter the blockchain, an entirely new weave of digital fabric.
Before we talk about what it can do, let's set out what it is.
The blockchain started as the system designed to manage bitcoin transactions. Blockchain is a decentralised, global network of computers using distributed records (called ledgers) to manage transactions. It operates as a distributed system of nodes where trust is managed across the nodes and not by any one central authority.
With each node holding a copy of the transaction ledger, cryptographic keys allow parties to only access what is relevant to them. Should an unknown party attempt to penetrate the chain, every node is required to provide permission, which is close to impossible. Because of this, blockchain security is considered much more robust than centralised systems, which are honey pots to cybercrooks.
Beyond its use to manage cybercurrencies such as bitcoin, ledger assets can be anything that is relevant to proving a record of ownership and/or a value chain. There's an explosion of blockchain innovations, which map to five broad use case scenarios:
- Verification - licences, proof of records, transactions, titles, wills, processes, and events
- Movement of assets – trade settlements, transferring payments, and supply chain tracking
- Ownership - registries, titles, and chain of custody for a physical asset, e.g. diamond trading
- Identity management - e-identities for secure digital services such as voting, tax returns, and travel documents
- Secure sharing – health records, valuable datasets, classified information, private collections, and archives
Private blockchains control who can operate a node and how the nodes are connected to one another. They have become the preferred system for businesses developing blockchain applications.
Smart contracts are blockchain-based software programs that control the transfer of assets between parties according to certain conditions. This allows the relevant assets held by each party to be shared via secure protocols. The executed smart contract becomes a ledger record. This disrupts conventional business process flows as sequential steps become simultaneous, the time to value accelerates as intermediaries are removed and fulfilment costs are reduced.
The scenario of buying a home is an example we can all appreciate. We are already seeing the use of blockchain-based real estate solutions to address the purchase contracts, mortgage and title registration steps of the cycle in Sweden and in some parts of the US.
Countries such as Georgia and Ghana have introduced blockchain-based applications to record property titles and transfers, improving investor confidence in their economies. Our diagram contrasts the conventional experience of a property purchase with a blockchain-based model.
The awareness around the potential of blockchain is growing and around 20% of enterprises are actively exploring the possibilities to innovate and transform. In the next three to five years, there are three strategic contexts where blockchain will be a game changer – as an enabler or catalyst.
Blockchain as an enabler for the Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT is a distributed network, but to be efficient at scale, intelligent processing needs to occur between the nodes. However, existing IT infrastructures remain centralised, requiring unecessary in-out flows, which is hugely inefficient, resource intensive and ultimately a constraint to achieving the grand vision of IoT solutions.
Blockchain provides a native network architecture for IoT and furthermore, provides a stronger security framework to manage a mesh of connected devices. In a world of 21 billion connected things, 5 billion connected people and 44 Zetabytes of data, that is really important.
Blockchain as a catalyst for business ecosystems
Being a distributed system of trust, blockchain requires collaboration at a sector level. This is already occurring across the finance, insurance, health, public sector and resources sectors and is creating step change as a result of the more rapid formation (or formalisation) and overhaul of ecosystems.
For example, a consortium of 14 Japanese companies – shipping, trading and insurance giants – are jointly developing a private blockchain-based platform to streamline the exchange of trade information and procedures, resulting in an industry-wide transformation. This follows a successful series of experimental blockchain applications.
Clearly, there is a willingness from existing, dominant supply chain networks to disrupt themselves in order to sustain their business value into the future.
Blockchain as a protector and liberator of our personal data
Digital business empires are being built on the monetisation of our data. Returning to Alexa, she watches, learns and predicts our behaviours. Within two weeks of Alexa becoming your digital intermediary, this converts into a 10% increase in spending with Amazon retail.
The flip side of convenience is digital entrapment. Alongside this concern is also the alarming growth of cybercrime, stemming from insecure, centralised information models, and as a result conventional systems of trust are being seriously challenged.
Blockchain is the basis of new solutions providing personal data control and protection. These solutions enable individuals to create their own personal ledger, populated with verified data (from an already trusted source such as a bank or passed through a secure vetting process).
In Canada, a group of major banks operate a service called SecureKey. This provides a national digital identity network offering a secure way for consumers to control their personal data and use it to verify identity and other details when wanting to access any government services, banking services and a range of other private sector services.
When we have the 'blockchain of me' we also have the power and choice to share and monetise our own data. For example, Datum, is a blockchain network and marketplace that allows people to securely back-up their data from social networks, wearables and smart homes and choose when and with whom they share or sell their data.
This growing movement to liberate our data will disrupt the business models of the digital giants.

The double entendre is evident….
Just Work- we can hear or say it like this "I am just a stay at home mom," "I am just a plumber," "I am just a sales person," "I am just a……" You fill in the blank
Then there is "Just" work. Just as an adjective has a very different meaning and can certainly be seen in the work of the activist who is speaking out for a group of marginalized people, or the lawyer who is fighting for the wrongly accused, or a judge who is making wise decisions in difficult matters designed to bring about justice for all parties.
But what if "Just work" is also the job on the manufacturing line offered to the man who is trying to get his life back on track after having been incarcerated? Or the waitress and single mom who is working a second job to make ends meet so that she can feed and clothe her kids? What if Just Work is our everyday work, done with excellence for the common good of the community.
This is all Just work. We need glimpses of a different way of thinking about our work that moves us from "just work- diminishing the value of our everyday work" to Just Work- thinking about our work and the work of others as God's plan A for restoring his world.

Customs testing body scanners
New Zealand Customs have been trialling body scanners at Auckland Airport and are now working on plans to implement them.
Green Party MP Keith Locke says that using such equipment is illegal as they are banned by the Aviation Crimes Act.
with respect to a person searched under subsection (1), a member of the police, an aviation officer, a Customs officer, or an agent of the carrier authorised by the carrier for the purpose may not use an aid or device that produces an unclothed image of the person.
We also had concerns about both the desirability and legality of this body scanning technology and wrote to the Minister of Customs, Maurice Williamson, earlier this year expressing our concerns. He responded (PDF) that while it was illegal to use body scanners for the purposes of aviation security, it was allowed under the Customs and Excise Act 1996 for the purpose of searching for contraband.
However, Keith Locke responds that the language used when the Aviation Crimes Act was amended in 2007 very clearly showed that Parliament's intention was to "...prevent any production of an unclothed image ... there was no hint of any exception."
Maurice Williamson says that he is not aware of any plans to further amend the Aviation Crimes Act.

- Rain sparks recovery but things remain fragile
|2014-04-22 00:00:00
Recent rain in Waikato and South Auckland has set farmers on the road to recovery from the drought but the situation remains fragile for some, a meeting today of farming leaders and central and local Government officials has heard.
The teleconference attended by Federated Farmers, DairyNZ and other farming groups, the Rural Support Trust, the Ministry for Primary Industries and Waikato Regional Council was told there had been good rain in the two regions over the past week.
There was general agreement that the drought had been "broken" by the rain but rainfall totals still weren't that much in some places, some pasture was still brown and that more rain was needed over coming weeks to ensure that recovery continued.
"The feedback I'm getting after the rain is that mentally people are in a better place and we can hopefully move on from here," said Rural Support Trust chairman Neil Bateup.
"Farmers are now in a position where they feel they can plan better for the winter. But it will be important for us to keep getting more rain over coming weeks," said Mr Bateup.
One particular concern was that not enough ongoing rain between now and winter, coupled with a cold winter, could significantly stifle pasture recovery.
Farmer representatives and officials agreed that they would continue to jointly monitor the situation closely.
"We have arranged to catch up again within the next few weeks to review how the recovery is going," said Waikato Federated Farmers president James Houghton.
"We should collectively have a better idea by mid-May how farms are recovering from this drought and can then discuss further what extra steps may be needed to help farmers manage going forwards."

What Beijing calls the Tibet Autonomous Region of China is once again smoldering, with monks in the small town of Aba in Sichuan Province and elsewhere self-immolating to protest against repression that aims to snuff out Tibetan religion, language, culture and an age-old way of life. The number of monks who have set themselves on fire is said to be more than 20 and rising. There are reports of some lay people taking to self-immolation as an act of solidarity with the monks and just out of plain frustration.
According to reports in the Guardian and Sydney Morning Herald, the town of Aba, the scene of the largest number of acts of self-immolation, is ringed by a blanket presence of police and security people.
"Heavily armed police are set up at every intersection … beside army trucks full of soldiers in riot gear," Philip Wen reported from Aba in the Sydney Morning Herald.
"Despite flooding Aba with security personnel, the protests continue," Jonathan Watts reported from Aba in the Guardian.
Watts quotes Kate Saunders of the International Campaign for Tibet, who said: "In Tibet, the monasteries serve the function of universities. What is happening now is like a military blockade of Oxford and Cambridge. It's as if the UK tried to prevent students from studying anything except what the government wanted them to study."
The unrest has also spread to the Tibetan areas of Qinghai Province.
Of course, with such a massive show of force, the Chinese authorities will succeed in crushing the unrest this time, as they have done before. However, should it not make Beijing pause and reflect on why the Tibetan issue is not going away, since Tibet was forcibly annexed in the 1950s?
That is not the way the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership operates. To reflect on policies that are not working and might require a new approach is considered a sign of weakness. In dealing with Tibet's seemingly intractable problem it is easy to simply deny that there is a problem.
The CCP leadership blames it all on Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama and his "plot" to split Tibet from China. He is a "wolf in sheep's clothing" talking of peace and reconciliation while doing just the opposite. Therefore, it is none of Beijing's fault.
Consider the Dalai Lama's role. He is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. He recently relinquished his political mantle to his elected prime minister. It would appear that the institution of the Dalai Lama might cease to exist after the present incumbent departs this world. This will effectively deprive the Chinese government of the ability to foist their own Dalai Lama on Tibetans. Beijing will still do it, but its candidate will lack legitimacy and popular acceptance among Tibetans.
Beijing, therefore, might be well advised to enter into talks with the Dalai Lama, while he is still around, for a peaceful resolution of the issue. He has publicly said a number of times that he is not for a separate Tibet. He only seeks meaningful autonomy for Tibet, with Beijing retaining control of defense, currency and foreign affairs.
The on-off talks between the two sides have been off again for some time now.
Why is China not interested? Because it does not trust the Dalai Lama. Beijing thinks it is his way of working toward a separate Tibet. It defies logic, though. For example, how will an autonomous Tibet, with real control vested in the central government, be able to defy China?

Chapter 30
Jolan stared at the older man, a look
of stunned shock crossing his face.
Jolan trembled, then staggered a bit, Justin at his side immediately.
"Jolan, you need to sit down. You're not well." he said in a soft voice, Jolan not listening, staring at the man in front of him.
"My grandfather? You are my grandfather?"
Domo's arm went forward, going to Jolan's side, wrapping around his waist, guiding the young man to the nearest chair.
Jolan sat down, Justin and Domo exchanging glances, Domo looking down into Jolan's upturned grey eyes.
Domo's eyes were glistening with tears.
"Yes, Jolan. I am your grandfather. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner. Calen's guidance gave me pause. We thought it best not to for now."
Jolan's grey eyes looked towards his uncles, the two men looking at him with concerned and compassionate eyes.
"Best? My family's reluctance to acknowledge me you thought best?"
Jennie was looking at her brother and the older man standing beside him.
"I have more family?" she said, tears blossoming in her young eyes.
Daphne got up, sitting down beside the young girl, her arm going around her gently.
Domo smiled at the young girl, and his Daphne's tenderness with her.
"Yes, Jennica. I'm your grandfather as well. Your mother was my loving daughter, my sweet Melina."
Jennie teared up, Daphne feeling the young girl snuggle deeper into her embrace.
Jolan looked up at the older man, Domo's eyes meeting his.
Domo saw a deep sadness in those staring orbs and also a look of unbelieving shock.
"Why didn't you tell me who you were? Or you, Aunt Daphne? For that's who you are, aren't you?" he said, staring at her with his sister, Justin looking at his boyfriend with concern.
Justin felt a trembling uncertainty in Jolan.
Daphne looked at her father, Domo tearfully nodding his head.
Her blue eyes returned to Jolan's gaze.
"No, Jolan. I am not your aunt."
Justin felt Jolan trembling more.
Daphne lowered her blue eyes, looking into Jennie's upturned grey eyes.
"I am your sister."
Jolan froze for a moment, then the world around him went dark.
Justin caught him as he fell forward, the young man falling into his grasping arms.
Domo was at Jolan's side in a flash, helping Justin lift the young man onto the table.
"He's fainted! Get some water, someone!" Domo said, Justin laying Jolan gently on top of the table.
They were immediately surrounded by
everyone, all their faces covered with concern.
Nathan moved forward, a glass of water in his hand.
"He's going to be okay, Justin. Let
me help him."
Justin stood by Jolan's side as Nathan dipped his fingers in the water, gently flicking the wetness onto Jolan's face, lightly patting his cheek.
Gradually Jolan moved a bit, his eyes slowly opening.
"What happened?" he said softly, Justin's blue eyes never leaving his face.
"You fainted, Jo. Just stay still." he said, worry etched in his voice.
"Everything suddenly went dark. I think I'm okay, Jus. I'm okay." he softly said, Justin not moving, his hand on top of Jolan's chest.
"No you're not, Jo. All this has shocked you. It's taken its toll on you. This is enough for now. You need to rest."
Jolan looked around, seeing everyone standing around the table he was laying upon.
Jennie was by his side, her hand in his.
"I'm okay, Jennie." he said, smiling at her, the young girl tearfully smiling back, Daphne standing beside her, her arm again around the young girl.
Jolan looked into Daphne's blue eyes.
"You are my sister?" he said, the two staring into each other's souls.
"Yes, Jolan. We have the same mother."
Jolan remained silent for a moment, his eyes turning to look into Dominoso's blue wet eyes.
"Let me up, Jus. I need to talk with my grandfather."
Justin wasn't budging, Cory's hand going to his shoulder.
"Jolan will be alright, Justin."
Justin saw a look of deep compassion in Cory's green eyes.
"I want Nathan to verify that." he said, the young doctor nodding at Justin.
Justin kept his hand on Jolan's chest, Nathan looking into his eyes, checking Jolan's chest and then taking his pulse.
"I think we can let him sit up,
Justin reluctantly removed his hand from Jolan's chest, Jolan slowly rising up, Justin and Nathan helping him off the table, Jolan returning to a chair beside the table.
Most of the others returned to their seats, all their eyes on Jolan.
Nathan quietly checked the young man over, Justin remained at his side.
"You appear to be all right, Jolan. I think it was just a fainting spell. This was too emotional for you. I think Justin's right. You need some rest."
Justin nodded, Jolan looking into his blue concerned eyes.
"I won't move again, Jus. I need to find out the rest of my past."
Justin reluctantly nodded, Nathan staring at Jolan.
"No more excitement, Jolan. If I see that happening again I'm putting an end to all of this." Nathan said, Jolan nodding.
Justin grabbed a chair, sitting down beside him.
Nathan returned to Lance's table, Lance smiling at him.
Domo stood in the center of all of them, watching Daphne sit down beside Jennie, the two looking at each other.
"I'm sorry that truth upset you, Jolan. That never was our intention." Domo said, Jolan seeing a deep look of concern in his eyes.
"I know, Grandfather. Would someone please tell me what's going on here?"
Domo nodded, tears running down his face.
He trembled, Calen walking up to him.
"Rest, Dominoso. I shall illuminate Jolan on thy daughter's truth."
Domo nodded, sitting down beside Lynn, the woman smiling at him with compassion, handing him a glass of water, Domo bowing his head and taking it.
Calen looked again at his nephew, Jolan's eyes staring at him.
"Your mother was a child of beauty and love, Jolan. Simus had discovered her and her father by the truth of his destiny."
"Discovered?" Lance said, Nathan about to say the same.
Simus stood up beside his brother, the two men looking around the silent room.
"I am the Seeker. Before Calen
illuminates the souls of the Sumsarian heritage, I seek them out. Through the
generations I have found all the lost children of the Sumsarian lineage. It was my
assigned destiny."
"Your destiny?" Jolan said, Justin staring at him.
Jolan felt Justin's concern and love.
Simus looked at the young man, a soft sigh coming to his lips.
"Vilos Dragos bestowed upon all his
children their heritage and their destiny. All four of us were destined to work
towards achieving our goal."
"And what is your goal? What is your destiny?" Justin said, Jolan looking at his uncles.
"Our destiny and responsibility was
the unification of the Sumsarian lineage. The joining of the clan once again."
Jolan stared at Simus for a moment, then his eyes fell upon Dominoso.
"And has your destiny been fulfilled?"
Simus sat back down again, looking towards Jolan and Justin.
"I am the Seeker. For over one
hundred years I have sought out all that remain of the Sumsarian blood. Calen is
the Illuminator. He knows all the histories, lineages and family trees of every
Sumsarian child born upon this earth from the moment of Dragos' own birth. With that
knowledge he and I have walked this earth, searching for all those that
"And my father? And Uncle Morgan?" Jolan said, looking directly at Simus.
"Morgan, the eldest child of Vilos
and Lava Mora, was given the title of The Warrior. He, during the finding of the
children of Sumsare, fought any and all battles for their freedom. Be they
physical, legal or spiritual. On more that one occasion it came to actually
fighting. For you see, the Sumsarian lineage are a gregarious jumble of lost
souls. Some fought against their own reality, their own heritage. Morgan made
them in the end realize who they were."
Jolan watched his uncles, seeing a reluctance in their eyes to acknowledge their brother's worth.
"The Warrior?" Jolan said, thinking of his yet unseen uncle.
"Yes, Jolan. Our brother Morgan has a strong will and an even tougher resolve. He believes in the truer meaning of our destinies. And that's why he's taken a different path than Calen and myself. We believe in the duty our father bestowed upon us. Morgan believes more in the preservation of the Dragosan rights. He is seeking that which he believes we were created for. Power and prestige. And that never sat well with your father. It was in part the reason he left us."
Jolan looked at Simus with surprise, the older man's grey eyes looking downward.
"My father left you? He walked away from his own family?"
Calen looked at his brother, then at his nephew.
"Your father is a man of deep convictions, Jolan. He is so different than either of us. Through all of his young Dragosan life, he sought something more than what he believed he was destined to do. That resolve worked well with his destiny. In the end, it worked too well."
"What was my father's destiny? What did my grandfather bestow upon him?"
Simus lifted his head, his grey eyes staring at Jolan.
"Your father was The Uniter. His destiny was to unite all the children of the Sumsarian lineage. To once again form the old alliances of Sumsarian brotherhood. And he did achieve that. And in doing so, he found something that wasn't supposed to be there. Something that shocked all of us."
Jolan trembled, Justin picking up on it.
"What did he find?" Jolan said, his voice edged with determination.
Simus looked at his nephew, as did Calen.
Jolan saw a tear fall down Simus' face, Calen's eyes already glistening.
The younger brother spoke, his voice filled with emotion.
"He found love."
Simus looked directly at his nephew, his voice adding to Calen's proclamation.
"And he found magic."
Domo sobbed behind the two men, Lynn putting her arm around him.
Jolan's eyes turned to his grandfather, seeing his emotional countenance.
Jolan rose to his feet, Justin like his shadow beside him, the young men walking over to Jolan's grandfather, Jolan kneeling in front of him.
He took the older man's hands in his, Domo raising his head and looking into Jolan's grey eyes.
"My mother had magic?" he softly said, Domo's tearful face nodding.
"Yes, Jolan. Your mother was blessed with the gift. Your grandmother and I learned of it very early. We loved her no less, that in itself making her very special. My own mother saw the greatness of her gifts, for a very special reason. The magic she possessed was that of Alveena's. Our ancient beautiful queen left a special gift to all the strong women of our lineage. She left the gift of her own magic. Through the generations that gift flowed into singularly special children. No one knows the reasoning behind who is chosen. My mother had that gift, and so did her granddaughter, Melina."
Domo looked at Daphne, the young woman smiling at him.
"My granddaughter Daphne shows no sign of it."
Jolan looked at Daphne, and then at Jennie seated beside her.
"I guess Queen Alveena had her reasoning. Alright, I'll abide by that. What did my great grandmother and mother do with those gifts?"
Domo smiled, looking into his grandson's grey eyes.
"They did good, Jolan. Always their hearts of love did good."
Jolan smiled, Domo smiling at him.
"When it was discovered that Melina was gifted, my mother took things into her own hands. It was she that moved us here to America when Melina was just an infant. She had felt it was unsafe to remain in Europe. My mother had a sense that something wasn't right in the world. That she had to remove her family from that threat. That someone was watching us. My mother took it to be the ancient sect of the Dragosans."
Jolan looked towards his uncles, Calen looking at him.
"What Domo or his mother didn't realize was that it wasn't us that they had to fear. It was something else."
Jolan stood up, looking at all three men.
"They needed to fear the evil of their times. The evil that had seeped into the Dragosan and Sumsarian clans' blood. It began with Dragos and continued with Segas. It was King Segas' doing, wasn't it?"
Simus and Calen stared in shock, the young man looking at them.
"How did you know?" Calen said, staring at him.
"I sensed you were not telling me everything about the second monarch, King Segas. You'd mentioned that Queen Alveena had found out that he was learning the magic of the Oracle. He found something more than immortality, didn't he? He found a magic to gain total control of the clans. And that was why he murdered King Dragos, his own father. That was why Queen Alveena was left with no alternative but to seek out magic herself. Magic to destroy him. But she was too late, wasn't she Uncles?"
Calen sighed, Simus looking towards
his brother.
"Yes, Jolan. As we have said, King Segas was a monster, with a devious heart. King Segas was seeking to gain control of all of the Sumsarian children. To gain control of his own family. He realized that he couldn't do it with force, so he sought to do it with magic."
"He succeeded, didn't he?"
Simus lowered his head, Calen's hand going to his shoulder.
"You are very wise, Jolan. The Dragosan blood flows in you. Your grandfather would be very taken with you."
Jolan remained still, Justin at his side.
"Tell me the truth, Uncle Calen."
Calen looked into the young man's eyes, seeing a determination of unbelievable depth.
"King Segas found an ancient blood pact of magic hidden in the tomes of the Oracle's writings. In essence, it was a pact of singular control. Whoever's blood flowed in the veins of all those infected with the magic could one day control all of them. So King Segas did an evil thing. He sentenced his own family to a lifetime of waiting. Waiting for his evil to seep into their lives."
Calen looked towards Dominoso, the older man standing up.
"In my blood, as in the blood of all my forefathers, there lays an evil, an evil begun by one man."
Calen stood up, putting his hand upon the shoulder of the elder Sumsare, looking again at Jolan.
"Through the mistakes of our ancestor we live with pain in our hearts. Such is the creed of the Sumsarian clan. King Segas tainted his own bloodline with evil. And he guaranteed his own evil immortality by raping every Sumsarian noblewoman himself."
Everyone gasped, Calen staring at them all.
"As I said, the man was a monster. He had all of the wives of all the Sumsare noblemen apprehended and brought to the castle through the weeks before the final battle against Alveena. Then he proceeded to rape every last one of them. Into each of those over three hundred women he planted his own seed, his seed of magic and evil. And from that violation, the evil entered all the children born thereafter."
Calen looked at Dominoso, his face filled with compassion.
"King Segas, in a demonic last grasp at madness, found a way to remain immortal. He spread his own seed of madness and evil into the blood of his lineage. His evil remains in all the children of those noblemen. Down through the generations it has filtered, we Dragosans able to see its mark clearly. From that mark a Sumsarian is easily shown. I see it on the face of Domo and of Daphne." Simus said, looking at the two Sumsare family members.
He then looked towards Jolan, and then Jennica.
"I do not see it in your face or thy sister's, Jolan. For some unknown reason you two do not carry the Sumsare curse. And neither did your mother."
Jennica ran up to her brother's side, Jolan putting his arm around her.
They looked at each other, Jolan's love calming her.
"Our mother was not tainted?"
"No, Jolan. She was not marked by the evil. Simus, Morgan and myself believe it was because of the magic of Alveena flowing through her. Joelius, our brother, believed it was because of her loving soul."
Jolan looked at Calen, seeing a lost look in his eyes, a look of longing for his brother.
"Tell me the story of my parents'
Calen looked at Jolan, seeing the need in his eyes.
"Alright, Jolan. But it may be hard to hear. For you father did all of it for love."
Jolan walked back to his chair, Jennie following him, Justin at both their sides.
The three sat down, Jennie snuggling against Jolan's side, his arm of protective love around his sister.
Calen looked at both, seeing their unchanged love.
His voice again filled the silent room.
"As I've already stated, Simus found Dominoso and his family in New York. They
were the last lost souls of the Sumsarian lineage."
Domo looked at Jolan, Jolan smiling at him.
"What Simus found there surprised all of us. But none were more surprised than Joel. To say that he'd been hit with the thunderbolt of love at first sight would be an understatement. Simus and I both saw the instant connection between the two when they'd first met on the snowy slopes of the Sanctuary of Snow and Truth."
"The Sanctuary of Snow and Truth? You mentioned that place before." Joey said, Calen looking towards him.
"Yes, Joe. The heart of the truth of the Sumsarian destiny. It is a hidden place deep within the Carpathian Mountains, in the heart of what once was the great kingdom of Moldavia. King Dragos called it the Heart of History."
Jolan looked at his uncle, remembering the ring called by the same name.
"Queen Alveena told our father that that place was the site of our family's destiny, and the salvation of the Sumsarian clan. She wrote in her Tome the declaration of what would one day come to pass there. For all those born under the name of Sumsare and all those of the Bloodlifer's lineage must one day unite before the Sanctuary of Snow and Truth. I shall read you her exact words later, Jolan."
Jolan nodded, Calen continuing.
"Simus' destiny was to find those lost of the Sumsarian lineage. Once found, those individuals were summoned to the Sanctuary by the One Council. Call it a pilgrimage of truth. For every Sumsarian child must walk that path of enlightenment. It was always there that they learned the truth of their existence from myself."
"The One Council? Who are they?" Jolan said, his eyes on Calen.
"The One Council is a tribunal of three souls. Three souls given over to the truth. They are Degas, Belas and Tolmar, Tolmar being the head councillor."
"Belas?" Jolan said, looking at Domo.
The old man nodded, his stance one of prideful resolve.
"Yes, Jolan. Belas, my ancestor. I learned that truth myself on that snowy mountain. Queen Alveena's trusted general, my own ancestor, is one of the three enlighteners."
Calen smiled at Domo, the man bowing his head.
"Who are the other two, and what are the three together? Are they Bloodlifers or are they perhaps their victims?" Jolan said, Simus staring at him.
Jolan saw a look of immense determination in those grey eyes.
"Do not bait me with your insinuations, Jolan. You would not like me if you test my anger."
Jolan stared at him, Justin feeling his boyfriend's simmering determination as well.
Calen saw what was happening, Cory seeing it as well.
Cory's hand went on top of Simus', the man's eyes changing.
"Now is not the time for confrontation, Simus. He's your nephew, and you love him."
Simus' eyes softened, Jolan seeing Cory's calming affect on the man.
"Alright, Cory. It's just I've heard all these untruths before. We are not monsters, we are not bloodsucking demons. No Dragosan has ever taken another life and made them Bloodlifers. Those were just untruthful myths. If it was that way my father would never have done it. His soul was too filled with love for human life. He was a man filled with a loving heart. I so wish you could have known him. You would have seen love at its best, Jolan."
Jolan lowered his head, then raised it.
"I'm sorry, Uncles. I fell like everyone else, into the myths and fables of the vampire. Forgive me my ignorance. I believe your truths."
Calen and Simus both saw the truth in Jolan's eyes.
Simus nodded at Calen, the man continuing.
"We do not know the truth behind those three leaders of the One Council. For as long as we have lived they have been there. Our father told us it was the will of Alveena that they give their guidance to the Sumsare legacy. How they have lived so long and not been Bloodlifers is beyond our knowing. All we know is that they appear as if by magic, and disappear just as quickly. They summon we Dragosan by our rings of history."
Calen and Simus both raised their hands, the silver ring on each hand shown to all.
"These rings were given to us by our father. The one worn by your father was perhaps the greatest of them all, Jolan. That ring is called the Heart of History."
Trace and Cindy looked at Jolan, Justin looking as well.
They all remembered Jolan's vision of a ring.
Jolan remained silent, Calen beginning again.
"Your mother and father met upon the snowy slopes of the Sanctuary. I was present at that moment, and saw the light of love shine in both their eyes. Melina Sumsare was a vision of beauty and grace. And our brother fell under her spell immediately."
"It was no spell, Calen. It was love at its simplest. My daughter is the personification of genuine love. She shows it always. Even after the tragedy of that time she still never showed anything but love." Domo said, his head lowered, Jolan looking towards his grandfather.
"Tragedy? What tragedy?" Jolan said, Domo raising his head and looking into Jolan's grey eyes.
"The tragedy of my existence."
Jolan turned, looking into Daphne's blue eyes.
She stood up, walking over to Dominoso, sitting down beside him.
Domo looked at his now revealed granddaughter, Daphne kissing his cheek.
"Evil walks through all the lives of the Sumsarian children. My mother carried
her share. I was the result of that evil's reality."
Domo put his arm around her, looking into her blue eyes.
"No, child. You were the sign that beauty and love always shines through."
Domo turned, staring at Jolan.
"Your mother was a strong courageous child, Jolan. When she was seventeen she
was brutally attacked by someone. The police found her in a park a few blocks
from our home. My angel was brutally hurt and violated. The result of that
violation was this angel sitting here before us. Your mother became pregnant
from that assault. Your mother gave birth to our sweet Daphne, my wife and I
falling in love with her the moment she opened her eyes. From an act of horror,
an angel came to life."
Daphne smiled, Domo kissing her tear-stained cheek.
"Little Daphne became the light of love in your grandmother's and my souls. The two of us helped Melina care for the child, the pain of what she represented deep within Melina's tortured soul. Your mother never knew who the monster was that had attacked her. She carried that hurt within her soul. Your mother was just an innocent child herself, hurt, we thought, beyond redemption. Your grandmother and I felt the hurt emanating from her wounded soul. We never thought she'd ever smile again. And then a year later, your father walked into her life."
Domo looked at Jolan, seeing the tears running down his cheeks.
"On the day we walked again upon the land of our ancestors, a new hope flooded into your mother's heart. On that snowy mountainside Melina looked into the grey eyes of your father. And there she found the love to heal her soul. We all saw the instant change come over her, the lost gleam of love in those tortured blue eyes shining once again. Your father saved her, Jolan. He saved my lost angel's soul. As sure as I'm sitting here, he brought Melina back from the brink of despair to a new moment of love."
Domo was in tears, Daphne hugging him to her.
Lynn sat beside them, tears falling from her glistening eyes.
Jolan got up again, Justin rising beside him.
Jolan walked over, Domo standing up, the younger man pulling the man into a tight hug.
"It's alright, Grandfather. It's alright." he said, rubbing the crying man's back.
The two men slowly parted, Jolan looking at Daphne standing beside him.
"I have another sister. A sister of love."
Daphne teared up, Jolan hugging her tightly.
Jennie was smiling widely, walking over to her brother and new sister.
The two parted, both pulling her and Domo into their embrace.
Everyone looked on, seeing the touching scene before them.
A family united.
Jolan and Jennie's love for their new grandfather and sister showed openly.
Justin stood in silence, his eyes looking towards his mother.
Lynn smiled at her son, Justin seeing a surprising look in her eyes.
A look of acceptance and love.
Justin's gaze returned to his Jolan.
The four parted, smiling and gently touching each other.
Calen stood a few feet away, Domo turning and looking at the man.
"Your brother is a good man, great one."
"I know, Dominoso. You need not tell me of his loving heart. Sit down everyone and I shall bring this to its end."
They all returned to their chairs, Justin sitting down beside Jolan.
"You must understand, Jolan, that what next I have to say was not of my doing, or Simus'. The decision came from the One Council. Morgan, our brother, instigated the decision. For that decision created a rift between the four sons of Vilos. And the result was our brother's departure."
Jolan looked at his uncle, seeing the sadness in his eyes.
"Tell me all of it, Uncle."
Simus was staring at Jolan as well, Jolan seeing the same look in his grey eyes.
"Our father always abided by the reasoning of Queen Alveena, her word sacrilegious to him. And the One Council abided by her doctrine as well. Her written truths were just and truthful. Unfortunately, one truth was open to different interpretations. That was the truth of the purity of the Sumsarian blood."
Simus looked at his brother, a sadness washing over his face.
Simus nodded, Calen sighing.
"Alveena's wisdom stated that the Sumsarian dynasty must remain true to its original purity. That no more evil should seep into the bloodline. She knew in her heart the deceit of King Segas, and his evilness already growing in that bloodline. She told Vilos of her final decision. And our father agreed to all of it. For in his heart, he felt for her a son's love. Alveena was, in his mind, his mother. And in a sense she really was."
"What was her final decision?" Lance asked, Nathan looking at him with the same look of eagerness.
"That no Dragosan Bloodlifer would join with a Sumsarian."
Jolan stared at his uncle, Calen's face covered in sadness.
"Alveena's reasoning was that the original Bloodlifer--Vilos--was created from the
blood of King Dragos. And that was the blood of a magic-filled madman. That
blood could not mix with the already evil-infected Sumsarian blood. That a
monster would be created by that infection."
Jolan stood, Justin sensing his boyfriend's reaction.
Simus stood, walking up to the silent Jolan.
"Our father stood by Alveena's decision. He became the guardian of the Sumsarian
dynasty, walking through history at their side. In us, his four sons, he bestowed
the destiny of our lives. We have followed by their side as well. And now, the
clan is united again. Your father was a large part of that happening. But,
unfortunately, Morgan did not see it in that light. He instigated a meeting with
the One Council, bringing his own Dragosan brother to stand before them. To stop
him from uniting with Melina Sumsare. Even their obvious love for each
other could not soften my elder brother's heart. He held on to the belief of Alveena's truth."
Jolan stared into Simus' grey eyes of compassion.
Simus' hand went to his shoulder, looking back into Jolan's silent eyes.
"Calen and I never shared our brother Morgan's interpretation. We sided with our
loving brother Joel and his angel of love, Melina."
Calen walked up to the two men, his grey eyes tearing.
"Our interpretation of that truth is this, Jolan. Our father Vilos was created of Sumsarian blood. Regardless of whom that blood came from, he was--and we all are--of Sumsarian blood. How can you taint something you are already a part of?"
Jolan looked into both of their eyes, Justin standing beside him.
"We are Sumsarian. As much as Dominoso is. We were named after Dragos Sumsare. We have his blood in our veins. We tried to show our brother that truth. It fell on deaf ears. He had Tolmar summon our youngest brother to the One Council. And there they gave him an ultimatum." Simus said, tears now flowing from his silvery eyes.
"They told him he had to choose between Melina and his destiny." Justin said, the two Dragosan looking at the young man.
Jolan remained silent, his eyes looking at Justin.
"Yes, Justin. Joel had to choose between love and family. He chose love." Calen said, Simus putting his arm around his younger brother.
"Joel left the One Council giving no answer to their decision. He sought out Melina here in New York, coming to her father's home." Simus said, Domo walking up to the men.
"I was here that day, the day Joel came for my daughter's heart. He told us all
that had been decided. And the truth of all that he was. Melina, my loving
daughter, showed no change in her love for him. I sat in silence and watched
their love unite before me. Melina went with her heart as well. She chose his
love. And the two of them walked away from all of us. Melina asked of me and my
wife our continuing love and caring for little Daphne. She left her own angel in
our loving care. She felt in her heart that she needed a fresh start in life and
love. She did love Daphne, never doubt that. She was her angel. But she felt in
her heart that she would have more love wrapped in my and my Regina's loving
embrace. I agreed naturally, she is my granddaughter, she'll always have my
Daphne teared up, Domo smiling towards her.
"And I saw in Melina's now healed heart her need to walk away from her past pain. I cannot judge her, I can only love her."
Calen and Simus nodded, Domo looking at Jolan.
"And so, my daughter and your father walked away from all of us. >From the Sumsarian and Dragosan clans. And now you know the truth of your history. I only wish you--and we--knew all of what happened after that."
Jolan's eyes teared, Justin looking at him with concern.
Jolan moved away from Justin, his grey eyes staring at his uncles and
"And so I now know the truth of my existence. And it's all becoming clear to me now."
Justin stared at Jolan, sensing the distress emanating off of those troubled grey eyes.
"What is becoming clear, Jo?" he said, Jolan's eyes turning to look into his blue pools of love.
Justin saw the pain in Jolan's silvery eyes.
The pain of some hidden truth.
"Don't you see, Jus? Don't you all see? Queen Alveena was right after all. My father and mother's love uniting did bring about her greatest fears. Their love created a monster. Their love created me!"
"You are not a monster, Jo! Never!" Justin said, moving towards him.
"Stop, Justin! Don't touch me! For to touch me would be to touch a great evil. I see it all clearly now. The visions I've seen of blood. Of their blood. There was blood everywhere! I must have. . .I must have. . .oh God! What I must have done to them!"
Jolan was sobbing, his body trembling.
Justin was in tears, Simus walking past him.
Simus put both arms around his young nephew, pulling him against him.
"No, my child. Never! I refuse to believe that! The mark of the Sumsarian evil is not upon you. There is no evil in you, Jolan."
Jolan sobbed, his realized truth finally taking its toll on him.
He suddenly collapsed, the darkness again closing in on him.
Simus lifted him into his arms, staring at his tear-stained face.
Jolan's grey eyes were closed, Justin looking at him with deep concern.
Lynn wrapped her arms around her son, everyone looking at the man in Simus' strong arms.
Simus hugged the young man against him, Cory's arm going around both of them.
Simus' emotional voice filled the silent room.
"The truth marks you as pure love, Jolan. For you are the loving son of my brother Joelius, and loving Melina. For their great love flows from you."
Simus stared into Justin's eyes, the two feeling each other's love for this man.
Erasmus stood in silence, his shadowy form standing across the street from the Casa Dora.
He felt the truth ruminating through his soul, his link with the Dragosan and Sumsarian giving him full access to all their thoughts and words.
His own thoughts flooded his mind.
Very good, Simus.
You've filled his heart with the known truth.
Now I can lead him down the path of his destiny.
It is time to begin the quest.
The quest for his salvation.
Erasmus' form faded into nothing in an instant.
Moments later he opened his eyes again, his body forming again into its shape.
He smiled, his grey eyes sparkling.
He stood in silence again in the shadows of another secluded street.
He eyes moved around, seeing a young man walking down the street across from him.
The man was vision of walking maleness, with a rugged handsome face etched with Hispanic masculinity.
Erasmus smiled, momentarily lost in the beauty of this walking Adonis.
The young man stopped across the street from Erasmus, staring up at an older stone building.
Two floors up a shadow moved in front of an open window, a face pushing through the curtains.
Erasmus looked up at that face, seeing another young beautiful man, this man handsome but not as beautiful as the man standing below him.
He saw the look in the young man's eyes at the window.
The look of desire and longing.
The young man on the street walked up a few stone steps, waiting at the building's front locked door.
Momentarily, the other young man appeared at the front door, Erasmus listening to every word spoken between them, even though they were being fairly quiet.
"Thanks for coming so quickly. I've been waiting for you."
The young man on the steps smiled, his blue eyes sparkling with lust.
"I'm sure you have, Carlos."
Carlos smiled, staring into the blue eyes of the man staring back at him, seeing the deep need in those beautiful eyes.
'Let's go inside. I have my image to protect. And I need you so much."
Carlos beamed, a flush of desire flooding him.
He opened the door wider, the other young man smiling widely at him.
Brandon Diablo walked past him, Carlos staring at his tight, jean-clothed butt.
In Carlos' lustful mind, he thought it was going to be the best day of his young life.
Carlos closed the door, both men disappearing into the building.
Neither man had noticed two glowing grey eyes staring at them from across the street, or the smiling face disappearing into a soft mist.
End of Chapter 30
And so the truth of Jolan's past has now been revealed.
And those revealed truths may have been too much for Jolan to handle.
What has happened to his parents?
Erasmus seems like a conflicting individual.
Is he good or is he something more?
Why is he watching everyone?
What are Brandon and Carlos doing together?
And how will that union affect our heroic couple?
Read on, dear friends, it only gets more intriguing.
Up next: The reality of The Shadowing.

None of my Sonos speakers have ever seen an ethernet cable, […] I think it only creates a mesh if you use the boost feature with a cable.
It's just a bit of a mystery how they got onto a WPA-protected network with just, as far as I remember, the press of a button. It's a dark magic, for sure.
Oh, I don't understand. I think we've reached the point where technology is so advanced that it's magic to me.
Boy Wunja has a Sonos one. I agree with the excellent sound and connectivity functionality.However, like a lot of IoT stuff the security stinks. I may have downloaded the app on to MY phone and I may have played Val Doonican or Max Bygraves (Spotify doesn't seem to have The Cheeky Girls) in his room when I felt it necessary.
Quote from: ian on January 23, 2019, 08:14:30 pmOh, I don't understand. I think we've reached the point where technology is so advanced that it's magic to me.I think that's exactly as it should be.Indistinguishable from magic.But it's also right that there should be wizards who at least understand the magic, even if they have limited power to control it.

"House Fancy" is the first segment of the 102nd episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, and the first episode of the show's sixth season.
It's a fine day, and Squidward is watching House Fancy, hosted by Nicholas Whithers. However, he found out that his nemesis, Squilliam Fancyson, is on that show. After seeing this, he accidentally spills his tea on the floor. On Squilliam's House Fancy episode, he gives Nick a tour of his house. Squidward is not amused. While seeing Squilliam's television appearance, he sees the mess he made earlier, tries to cover it, but has a problem. SpongeBob sees the whole thing and tries to help him, with disastrous results (one of them involving Squidward's toenail being ripped out from moving a sofa). Soon, Squidward hears the doorbell ring, and tells SpongeBob to clean up the mess with a vacuum. However, he ends up sucking up everything in the house, causing the vacuum to explode and destroying the house. However, when Nicholas Whithers sees Squidward's destroyed house, he views it as a work of abstract art, and proclaims that his house is better than Squilliam's. The end leads to Squilliam crying because he has lost and Squidward happy with the help of SpongeBob.
- When SpongeBob rips Squidward's toenail out of his foot with the couch, a small amount of blood is shown. This is one of the few times blood appears.
- For many individuals, Squidward losing his toenail has become one of the most gruesome scenes in the show, thus making this episode infamous like "The Splinter."
- Squilliam displays his "rooftop garden", but his house is initially shown to have a tower instead of a flat roof.
- After Squidward's house is destroyed by the vacuum, for a split second you can see nothing at the house, not even SpongeBob and Squidward before the House Fancy logo comes up. However, when Nicholas Withers and Squilliam get to Squidward's house, everything is back at the house again.
- Squidward says there is a stain on the rug, but the stain is actually on the floor.
- Squidward could have easily cleaned up the stain in 2 hours.
- Squidward said to SpongeBob that he would call the cops "again" if SpongeBob did not go away. This could possibly represent "Fiasco!" in which Squidward called them on SpongeBob for making a lot of noise. However, they then arrest Squidward for no reason. In this episode, Squidward probably got out of jail as the police realized that he did not do anything.
- Squilliam cries after Nick claims Squidward's house is far fancier than Squilliam's house, and the sound of his crying sounds like Waluigi's from the Mario series.
- Twice, Squilliam's phone rings while Nicholas Withers is talking. This action resembles it, when on TV, people use "bad words" and they censor them.
- Nicholas would appear again in the episode "Patrick-Man!"
- In "To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants" Squidward is seen reading a House Fancy magazine. He also reads one in "The Inside Job."
- Originally, Nick was supposed to hate Squidward's house, and still love Squilliam's.
- This episode, along with "Krabby Road," air less often in the Netherlands.
- This is the first time Squilliam's house is shown.
- When Patrick is going to Squidward's toilet, he has nothing, but when he came out from the toilet, he is holding a newspaper. It is possible that Squidward keeps a newspaper in his bathroom.
- Whenever Squilliam's last name is shown throughout the episode, it is spelled as "Fancy son".
- In the elevator, the right image of Squilliam does not have a unibrow.
- In the ending scene where Nicholas Withers visits Squidward's house, SpongeBob's house is missing.
- Squidward said "I haven't even got time to wash my hair." When he doesn't even have hair.
- When Squidward's couch was whole, the paint was all over the couch. However, when the couch is split in half some of the paint disappeared.

Monica Lewinsky would like for Beyoncé to change one of the lyrics in her new single "Partition."
In a rare interview with Vanity Fair, the most infamous woman in the world takes issue with the song.
"Partition," which is about Beyoncé and Jay-Z having sex in the back of a limo on the way to a party, suggests that the couple is engaged in an activity that was heavily detailed in the Starr Report.
"And [Lewinsky] requests one correction of Beyoncé, regarding the lyrics to her recent hit "Partition": "Thanks, Beyoncé, but if we're verbing, I think you meant 'Bill Clinton'd all on my gown,' not Monica Lewinsky'd!"
While Lewinsky does have a point here, Beyoncé needed five syllables for that phrase instead of three.
