Destroyer of Worlds
Destroyer of Worlds
I don't have much doubt that the Roman Catholic Church has been corrupt since its inception, and the deeper down the rabbit hole we go, the truths keep emerging.
I've come across several clergy within the RCC, from the distant past which seem to have triggered these same responses. One of them being…Albertus Magnus.
This man not only had a strange history but his actions seemed to have embedded the fact that he was indeed a man who had many secrets.
Albertus was repeatedly charged by some of his contemporaries with holding communication with the devil, and practicing the craft of magic.
Albertus Magnus Quotes:
"A daemonibus doctuture, de daemonibus doctet, et ad daemones ducit" ("It is taught by the demons, It teaches about demons and it leads to demons.")
Albertus was a prolific writer, and in his writings, is was said to indicate the completion of a construction of a "BOX OF SECRETS".
It was said to be constructed of two sets of panels, three of gold and three of lead. Each said to represent the alchemist's duality of As Above, So Below. The lead represented, "Triangle of Knowledge of the Earth" and the gold was the "Triangle of Knowledge of the Heavens".
Supposedly, they were constructed of symbols of alchemy and the signs of planets which when arranged into "the shape of The Master's Plan" would open the "portals to the other side".
Proverbial Light Bulb of Illumination
The heart of alchemy is spiritual. Although some would have you believe is is merely the physical transformation of metals, this is simply not true. On the surface, esoteric knowledge is about illumination and a transference of the mind, body and soul.
But, the truth is one cannot transfer the soul! Your mind and body can be manipulated such as the transition of Bruce Jenner. "I Am Cait" is a documentary series focusing on the influence of the Illuminati on its puppets.
Although Bruce is outwardly changed, his DNA is the same. So, when Bruce looks in the mirror naked, he sees what GOD created, but when he looks at himself in the mirror fully clothed…it reveals a confused person who adapted to the doctrine of Satan.
So in this example given, it actually gives us a picture of Satan and his "looking glass" culture.
Fr. Longenecker describes the Baphomet:
Rising from his lap is the pagan Caduceus–the rod with two serpents entwined that the pagan god Mercury carries. According to Satanic lore, this is a phallic symbol with the earth powers of the serpent intertwined.
The winged goat headed figure not only has male genitalia, but breasts.
Furthermore, when you look closely you'll see that the beast has two arms–one male and one female.
On the arms are the Latin words "Solve" and "Coagula". These mean "Separate" and "Come Together". These are occult words for the task of the alchemist who takes what is integrated and natural–breaks it and then puts it back together in a new (and perverted) way.
This is precisely what Satan is doing at this time with human sexuality. Through feminism, homosexualism, trans genderism, gender confusion and "identifying" as whatever gender a person wants, the distinctions between male and female are being broken and coming "back" together in a perverts way.
Is this a form of alchemy? Physically, and spiritually. How so, if I said that alchemy is only spiritual? Because these people are physically and spiritually broken.
In Jesus Christ's time, demons were successful in existing inside the mind and body of individuals. Demons had the ability to bring about many forms of sickness and diseases. Demons use you to as much as they can, to convince you to commit ungodliness, but their primary goal is spiritual death!
Lasciviousness is all lustful and sexual forms of perverseness. Its the loss of reason to bridle ones desires and causing one to adventure into any and all forms of lustful desires. Its having no control of and living with no boundaries.
All Men Can Be Built Equal
"Solve" and "Coagula"…, to separate and come back together? Does this technology originate here, or is it celestial?
The technology we possess allows us the opportunities to transcend the past with great strides. In fact, the technology we currently have is far behind what the reality of what our governments actually possess.
While we pay lip service to the tenet that "all men are created equal", but one of our abiding fears is that one day, in fact, "all men can be built equal".
Albertus Magnus' writings indicated that after a thirty year long task, he was able to build an automaton which he named "Android". It is said that he constructed it with the use of "…angels from the netherworld.." Combining this with the powers of the Philosopher's Stone, he created the "metals and materials unknown to this world…" and chose them "according to the stars and planets…".
This android was instilled with the powers of speech, thought, and some speculate a "soul". Upon completion of this project, his student St. Thomas, destroyed the "diabolic being" and denounced it as "…a tool of Satan and a blasphemy to God."
This information came from:
Reports that Albertus Magnus had a head with a human voice and breath and "a certain reasoning process" bestowed by a cacodemon (DEMON) eventually gave way to stories that he had built an entire automaton who was so overly talkative that his student Thomas Aquinas destroyed it for continually interrupting his train of thought.
The site also reports:
The writings of Philip LeMarchand, in fact, speak of " The Magnus" showing him how to unlock the secrets of the world as well as how to construct " …a toy of magical properties. "
These "boxes" are what I refer to as Hellraiser Boxes! This is but one of these boxes from hell.
Many people report that Roger Bacon, a Franciscan friar…was a wizard. Yet another man who is connected with the Roman Catholic Church who was a famous alchemist.
Many strange legends repeated claim that Roger Bacon, (likened to Francis Bacon) was actually possessed by St. Germain (Ascended Master).
Now the Pope knew Friar Bacon very well. They had formed a friendship at that time which was never to be broken. The Pope was a wise and broad-minded man, and he did not object to a little magic of the kind in which Friar Bacon delighted…
Every night, until long after the midnight hour, the light of the friar's little lamp could be seen glimmering through the narrow window of his study and feebly twinkling in the darkness. The country people who saw it at a distance shook their heads, and whispered that the old wizard was busy with his magic again. And then they talked of the fearful things that had been seen and heard around the gloomy old tower. One man who had ventured quite close to it on a dark night had beheld blue flames dancing on the eaves and sheets of fire leaping from the roof. Another had heard dreadful shrieks and sharp, deafening sounds like thunder-claps issuing from the tower. A third had seen a star shoot from the friar's window and lose itself far up in the sky. Such tales filled many a simple heart with awe.
Within his room, surrounded by his books and his instruments, Friar Bacon was content to let the world think of him as it would. One day Friar Bungay brought to him an old Arabic manuscript which some wandering knight had picked up in Spain or perhaps in far-away Palestine. The two friends set to work at once to make out its meaning. It was yellow and creased and covered with many a mysterious sign, but Friar Bacon did not lay it aside until he had read almost every word of it.
"It is strange, very strange," said he to Bungay, "but I believe it can be done."
"What!" cried Bungay, "can lifeless brass be made to speak and tell secrets that have been hidden from the wisest of men?"
"So says this manuscript," answered Bacon; "and here are careful directions for making an instrument that will give the dead metal a tongue;" and he translated them again for his friend.
"The thing seems not unreasonable," said Bungay.
"Let us try it," said Bacon.
For seven years the two monks toiled in secret. Every day the furnace which they had built in the tower glowed with white flame, and from the chimney top such clouds of black smoke issued as caused the hearts of the country folk to beat again with fear. Old kettles and precious plates and ornaments gathered in foreign lands were broken up and melted. The brass hilts of old swords were thrown into the melting pot. Then came days upon days of molding and shaping and fitting. And at last the eyes of the two friends were gladdened by the sight of the object of all their labor. It was the head of an image of brass—faultlessly made, beautiful in every line, a wonder to look upon.
Then began the true work of the magician. The head was fastened upon a pedestal of marble. Clockwork was placed inside of it. Wires were attached to the tongue, the eyeballs, and other parts of the image. These were carried to mysterious jars of chemicals hidden away in a dark closet. Everything was done with care, strictly according to the directions given in the manuscript.
When at last the work was ended, the two friars took turns in watching the brazen head day and night. For more than a month there was never a minute that one of them was not sitting before it, and listening for any sound that it might utter. Then, worn out by his watching, Friar Bungay became ill and Friar Bacon watched alone. But neither friars nor philosophers can live long without sleep, and on the fifth night he was wholly exhausted.
"If I can keep awake but twelve hours longer," he muttered, "the wonderful voice will speak and the great secret will be known."
But he could not keep awake. His eyes closed in spite of himself; his head sank upon his breast; he fell gently back in his chair, and was asleep. In a moment he roused himself only to do the same thing again. Over and over this happened, until at last it lacked but three hours of midnight.
"I can hold out no longer," he sighed. "Ah, if only Friar Bungay could come!"
Then a new thought came into his mind. He rang a bell, and in a few minutes the servant Miles came sleepily in, carrying a heavy cudgel.
"Miles," said the friar, "will you do me a great favor to-night?"
"I will do anything that I can, master," answered Miles, rubbing his eyes; "but I can neither fly nor swim. What is it you would have done?"
"Do you see this brazen head?" said the friar; and as he spoke he touched a secret spring which caused sparks of light to flash from the image's eyes.
"Oh, master, you know that I see it," said Miles, stepping back in alarm.
"Well, then, you must know that for nine and thirty nights Friar Bungay and myself have watched this head. Sooner or later, yes, perhaps even before another morning dawns, its lips will utter a secret of the greatest importance to every Englishman. And sad will it be for us if we fail to hear what is said."
"Yes, master," said Miles, trembling as he glanced about the room.
"You need not be afraid of the brazen head," said the friar, as he touched another spring. "It may do strange things, but it will harm no man." A sound like rolling thunder filled the room, the image's eyes flashed again, and a cloud of blue smoke came pouring from its nostrils. Miles turned white with fear, and would have run out at the door had not the friar held him by the arm.
"Do not be afraid," he said. "The head will not hurt you. It does these things at my bidding. If you do not touch it, it will remain quiet in its place, just as it is now."
"I see, master, I see," said Miles; "and it is not myself that will be afraid of a collection of brass. Why, I have fought in forty battles in France and in Flanders, and never yet have I known fear."
"You are certainly a brave man, Miles, and that is why I have called you. The favor that I ask of you is this: Will you watch here for me for an hour or two while I get a little needed rest? You know that Brother Bungay has failed me these five nights, and I cannot keep awake longer."
"Is it to watch the house that you wish me? There is certainly nothing hard in that. I will hold my good cudgel in my hand, and keep my eyes on every door and window so that no robbers will dare to come near."
"But it is the brazen head that I wish you to watch. Keep your eyes on it, and if it should begin to speak, then call me quickly."
"The brazen head, is it? Sure, and it cannot hurt me, for you have said so. But you will let me keep the cudgel, in case the robbers might come, won't you?"
"Oh, certainly, Miles."
"Then trust me, master. Go and take your rest, and I will watch like a sentinel at his post."
"I do trust you, Miles. Good night!" And the weary friar went sleepily to his chamber and threw himself upon his bed.
Miles sat down close to the door with his cudgel in his hand. For a while he kept himself awake by looking about at the strange objects which his master used when carrying on his studies. They were not unknown to him, for he had seen them daily when serving the friar's meals; but now in the dim light of the flickering lamp they seemed to him like uncanny beings ready to pounce upon him and destroy him. He grasped his cudgel with a firmer grip, and looked at the brazen head. The face of the image seemed to be beaming with a kindly smile, and Miles felt much braver.
"The head cannot hurt me," he said to himself; "and so why should I fear those other things? No, no, I am not afraid."
In the farthest corner upon his right was the carefully closed cask in which was stored the wonderful black powder that had so frightened the Oxford professors. Miles crossed himself when he saw it, and drew a little farther away. Then his eyes rested on a strange piece of glass, round like a wagon wheel, through which the friar sometimes looked when studying the stars. On a table close by were flasks of all sizes and shapes, crucibles for melting metals, and instruments whose use was known only to magicians. While Miles was lost in thought about these strange things a slight noise caused him to look again at the brazen head. Its face still bore the smile that had braced his courage up, and he grew bold enough to speak to it.
"Ah, you head of brass," he said, "you are nothing but yellow metal. You were made of the old kettles and sword hilts that I brought to my master. How foolish for any one to waste his time in watching you! How silly of my master to starve himself and me, in order to buy brass for your making! A magician like him ought to know better. A snap of his fingers would bring us food and raiment fit for kings; but, instead, he spends his time with you, and we have nought but scraps to eat and rags to wear. Come, Master Brassy-head, out with your secret! And let it be a recipe for my master to tell him how to get rich."
Just as he spoke the last words a bright flash as of lightning lit up the brazen face, and a low sound like muttering thunder filled the room. The mouth of the image opened, its lips seemed to move, and in a voice scarcely louder than a whisper, it uttered the words—
Miles grasped his cudgel very hard and stood close by the door, ready to run. But, as the image sat bolted fast to its pedestal, and moved not, he soon grew very brave again.
"Is that all you can say, old Brassy-head?" he asked. " 'Time is,' did you say? Well, that would be fine news to carry to a scholar like Friar Bacon. You will have to tell a better secret than that before I waken him to hear it."
Again the thunder rolled, and a brighter flash of lightning filled the room. Again the mouth opened, the lips moved, and a voice like the rattling of a brass kettle muttered,—
Miles put one hand on the door latch and with the other shook the cudgel at the image.
"Only to think," he said, "that my master and Friar Bungay should spend seven years in making a head which can tell no other secret than that! Why everybody knows that TIME WAS. Fie upon you for a brazen fraud, old Brassy-head! If you would only speak a little Hebrew or Latin, I should begin to think that you really have a secret to tell, and I should waken my master to hear it."
Scarcely had he spoken when the room was lighted up with the brightness of day. The face of the image was no longer smiling, but it bore a dreadful frown. The floor swayed and trembled. The head appeared to lift itself from its pedestal, and in a voice of thunder it cried,—
Miles in his great fright fainted and fell in a senseless heap by the door. There was a dreadful crash, a blinding cloud of smoke, and then all was still. Friar Bacon, roused by the noise, rushed into the room. The brazen head lay on the floor, shattered into a thousand pieces.
"Miles! Miles!" cried the distracted friar.
The serving man slowly raised himself on his knees and groaned.
"Did the head speak?" asked the master. "Tell me quickly."
"Yes, master, he did speak," muttered Miles, shaking with terror. "But he said nothing worth remembering."
"What did he say?"
"Why, at first he said, 'Time is,' and as that is a secret which everybody knows, I urged him to say more. Presently he spoke up again and said, 'Time was'; and then, before I could run and call you, he roared out, 'Time is past,' and fell over against me with such a crash as to knock my senses out of me."
"Oh, wretched fool!" cried Friar Bacon, angrily pushing the man from the room. "Leave my sight! your foolishness has caused the wreck of all my hopes. The labor of seven years is lost. Had I been wakened, I would have set machinery in motion to prevent this ruin; and the brazen head would have told me how to do most wonderful things. It would have told me how to build a wall around England and make her the strongest of all nations. It would have told me— But now, all is lost. I will make no more experiments; I will burn my books; I will close my study. The rest of my life shall be spent, like that of any other monk, in the quiet cell of a monastery; and when I die my poor name will be forgotten."
Here's an actual NEWSPAPER ARTICLE:
Roger Bacon, "the admirable doctor," born in Somersetshire, England, in 1214 and known as "the father of experimental philosophy," was also a great student of mysticism, writing several treatises on the subject and making numerous practical experiments. One of the experiments ascribed to him, but under the name of Friar Bacon, was the fabrication of a Talking Head of bronze.
This is described in a book entitled "The Famous Historic of Friar Bacon, Conteyning the Wonderful Thinges That Hee Did in His Life." According to this authority Friar Bacon, in the seclusion of his cell in a monastery, was "reading one day of the many conquests of England when he bethought himselfe how hee might keepe it hereafter from like conquests ana so make himselfe famous hereafter to all posterities. "This, after creat study, hee found could be no way so well done as one, which was to make a Head of brasse, and if he could make this Head to speake, and be are it when it speakes, then might hee be able to wall all England about witn brasse."
To this purpose he got Friar Bun«ey to assist him. Bungty was a great scholar and magician, but not to be compared to Friar Bacon. These two, after great study and pains, so framed a Head of
brass that in the inner parts thereof there were all the parts and organs in a human head. This being done, the work was as far from perfection as before, for they knew not bow to give these parts motion, without which it was impossible that it should speak. They read many books, but not finding any clew to what they Bought, tney concluded to raise a "spirit" and to learn from him what they could not gain by their own studies.
They prepared all things necessary, and went out one evening to a wood near by and after making use of many ceremonies '•they spake the words of conjunction and the devill straight obeyed and appeared to them," asking what they would have. "Know," said Friar Bacon, "that wee have made an artificiall Head of brasse, which we would have to speake, to the furtherance of which wee have raised thee ; and being raised, wee will keepe thee here, unlesse thou tell to us the way and manner how to make this Head to speake." The "devill" told him that he had not that power of himself. "Beginner of lyes," quoth the Friar, "I know that thou dost dissemble, and the before tell it us quickly or else wee will he ; bind thee to remain during our pleasures." At this threat the "devill" relented and j told them that with a continual fume of
the six hottest simples the Head should have motion and in the space of one month would speak, the time of the month or day he knew not. Also he told them that if they heard it not before it had done speaking their labor should be lost. They then permitted the "spirit" to depart. They prepared the simples and made the fume and were inconstant attendance, waiting for the Head to speak. Thus they watched for three weeks without any rest and they became so weary and sleepy that they had to seek respite from their watch. Then Friar Bacon called his man Miles to watch the Brazen Head and told him to wake them if it spoke, else they would lose all their labor and England would have a great loss thereby. Miles promised to faithfully obey his instructions. Then Miles, to keep himself from sleeping, got a tabor and pipe and made merry with music. After some noise the Head spake these two words, "Time is." Miles, hearing it sneak no more, thought his master would be angry if he waked him for that and, therefore, he let him sleep and began to mock the Head: "Thou brazen-faced Head, hath my master tooke all t.ese paines about thee, and now does thoa requite him with these two words, Time is ? Had hee watched
"Do you tell us, copper- nose, when Time is ? I hope we schollers know our times, when to drink drunke, when to go on our hostess' score, and when to pay it — that time seldom comes." After half an hour had passed the Head again spoke two words, "Time was."
Miles respected these words as little as he did the former, and still did not wake Friar hacon and his friend, but scoffea at the Brazen Head ttiat it haa learned no better wordf, with such a tutor as bis master, and in scorn he sang this song: Time was when thou, a kettle, Went filled with better matter; But Friar Bacon did thee spoyle When he tby sides did batter.
"Time was! I know that, brazen-face, without your telling. I know Time was, and I know what things there was when Time was; and if you speake no wiser no master shall be waked by mcc."
Thus Miles talked and sang till another half hour was gone. Then the Brazen Head spoke again these words, "Time is part," and fell to the ground. Then followed a terrible noise, with strange flashes of lire, so that Miles was half dead with fear. At the noise the two Friars awoke, and wondered to see the room full of smoke, but when that vanished they perceivea the Brazen Head lying broken on the ground. At this sight they grieved, and called on Miles for explanation. Miles, half dead with fear, said it fell down of itself. Friar Bacon asked him if it did not speak. "Yes," quoth Miles, "it spoke, but to no
purpose. Ye have a parrot speake better in the time you have been teaching this Brazen Head."
"Out on thee, villiane!" said the Friar; "thou hast undone us both; hadst thou called us when it spake all England had been walled round about with brass to its glory and our eternal fames. What were the words it spake?"
"Very few," said Miles, "and those were none of the wisest I have heard, either First hee said, 'Time is.' " "Haast thou called us then, we had been made forever."
"Then halfe an houre after it spake again and said, 'Time was.' " "And wouldst thou not call us then?" said Bungey. "Alas!" said Miles, "I thought he would have told me some long tale. Then halfe an houre after he cried, 'Time ib past,' and made such a noise that hee hath waked you himself, meethinks."
At tins Fryer Bacon," concludes the nistone, "was in such a rage that hee would have beaten his man. but he was restrained by Bungey; but, neverthelesse, for his punishment, hee witb his art struct him dumbe for one whole monthe's space. Thus the great work of these learned fryers was overthrown, to their great griefes, by this simple fellow." Ham Singh.
with a lawyer so long as hee hath watched with thee, he would have given him more and better words tdan thou hast yet. If thou canst speake no wiser, they shall sleepe till doomsday for me. Time is! I know Time is, and that you shall heare, Goodman Brazen-Face:
lime is for some to eate, Time is for some to sleepe, Time is for some to laugh, Time is for some to weepe.
Time is for some to sing, Time is for some to pray, Time is for some to creepe, That nave drunken all iheday.
Time wms when conscience dwelled Witb men of occupation; Time was when lawyers did not thrive bo well by men's vexation.
Time was when kines and beggars Of one poore stuff had being; Time was when office kept no knaves— That time it was worth seeing.
Time was a bowle of water Did give the face reflection: Time was when women knew no paint, Which now they call complexion.
Evidently, this is a 'play' which was written about an invention by Josef P. Freud. One of his mechanical creations was "Balsamo, the Living Skull".
Before we progress to this next amazing story, I must address the fact that Tibetan Masters (Ascended Masters/Great White Brotherhood of Light) reputed to be enlighten beings who reportedly migrated from Atlantis. One of these being, Sanat Kumara who is called, "Lord of the World".
These Ascended Masters are nothing less than demons, and fallen angels. Satan (notice the common spelling) is referred to as "King of the World". Coincidence, NO!
The Lokapannatti Legend
"The Kingdom of Rome" (Romavisaya) is taken from the Lokapannati, a collection of medieval Pali tales about the marvels of King Asoka. Rome, so the story goes, trains bahulayantakara, or "machine makers," who construct bhuta-vahana-yanta, or "spirit-bearing engines," for "commerce, agriculture, capturing, and executions." Force to write their names in a book each month, these engineers are kept under close surveillance lest they spread their technology to Rome's enemies. If they are missing form Rome, a flying execution machine follows them and beheads them. Despite the Roman king's efforts, news of his technology has spread to the East, and one young Burman decides that he will steal this information and make "as many of these machines as there are people here in Pataliputta." He arranges, somehow, to be reborn in the Kingdom of Rome where he marries the daughter of the chief engineer of the robots. She gives him the secrets of their construction, and he writes them down on a leaflet which he sews into the flesh of his thigh. He then tells his son to have his body buried in Burma when he is assassinated, as he will be, for he intends to leave the Kingdom of Rome. He does, he is beheaded, his body taken back to Pataliputta, his thigh opened, the blueprints retrieved, and the moving statues constructed by his son. the son makes for King Ajatasattu an army of moving mechanical warriors who guard the doors to his buried sacred relic. The king dies, his sanctuary is forgotten, and Asoka, Ajatasattu's grandson, finds and unearths it, only to be stopped by the mechanical vigilance of the moving statues. He pays the (incredibly long-lived) son of the engineer from Rome to dismantle the mechanism so he can secure the relic for his own status. "How is it," wonders the Roman emperor meanwhile, "that the technology of Burma resembles so closely our secret technology?" He send a gift to Asoka which the greedy king orders the engineer to open. the android emerges, cuts off the unfortunate servant's head, and flies back to Rome. [Sarah L. Higley, "Alien Intellect and the Roboticization of the Scientist," Camera Obscura 14.1-2,40-41 (1997):132-133]
Then, I found this:
According to India Today, the Indian government – stimulated to curiosity by the frequent reports from the military – dispatched a scientific expedition to a remote region on the Tibetan border:
A five-member group of geologists and glaciologists led by Dr Anil Kulkarni of the isro's Space Applications Centre in Ahmedabad were on a research trip through the barren Samudra Tapu Valley. They filmed a four-foot tall 'robot-like' figure, that 'walked' along the valley, 50 m away from them. The humanoid object then rapidly became airborne and disappeared. The encounter lasted 40 minutes. It was seen by 14 persons including the six scientists.
So, the Roman Catholic Church (Church of the Universe) is a domain which is prominent in today's media for a One World Religion. This is exactly what these Ascended Masters teach. The church also has pictures which coincide with these Master's Jesus.
What is the point to this article? Separate/Come Together! Destroy GOD'S work…transhumanism is their key to doing this. It's hidden in plain sight. Not only is it about transhumanism, but it's about bringing curiosity for the youth into subjects of witchcraft. Harry Potter? Vampire Diaries? And believe it or not….Ventriloquism! Allowing a demon to come into an inanimate object (doll) to allow communication.
As I began to rest after a long day of researching, I chose a movie on NETFLIX. It was called "The Best Offer". Little did I know it was going to be about automatons.
It was a strange movie and the plot revolved around an auctioneer. But, it was indirectly about automatons. The person it spoke of was Jacques de Vaucanson.
The 18th century was the golden age of the "philosophy toy". Automatons were all the rage in Europe. Voltaire labeled Vaucanson a "new Prometheus". Like the Greek Titan, he had the power, it seemed, to create life, to fashion men out of new materials.
Curiously, Vaucanson's early efforts were all centered around religion. He was taught by the Jesuits! Joined the religious order of the Minimes in Lyon. And went to the Catholic church with his mother. It's no coincidence that the clergy within the Roman Catholic Church were all centered around the esoteric world.
The Guardian reports it best:
Just as he was preparing to construct the automaton he had been sponsored to make, however, Vaucanson fell seriously ill. He was bedridden for four months. In his delirium, he dreamed up an android that could play the flute, in the shape of a famous marble statue by the royal sculptor Antoine Coysevox, then on display in the Tuileries Gardens. He rose from his bed and drew designs for every part, handing them out as he went along to various craftsmen and clockmakers. As soon as the pieces were joined together, the automaton could be heard to play the flute, as perfectly as any human being. It was as if the marble statue had come to life.
The Automaton Flute Player was first exhibited on February 11, 1738. The price of entry was three lives, a week's wages for a manual labourer. Vaucanson demonstrated the object himself, to groups of 10 to 15 people at a time. The show was a huge success. The figure was made of wood, and painted white to look like Coysevox's marble. It was life-size – five and a half feet tall – and was supported by a large pedestal. The flute, as Vaucanson had learned from his musical acquaintances, was considered one of the hardest instruments to play in tune – notes are produced not just by fingers and breath but by varying amounts of air blown into the flute, and different shapings of the lips. He had set himself an apparently impossible task, and emerged with a machine that could play 12 different melodies. The virtue of this flute player, and the reason it seemed an ideal Enlightenment device, was that Vaucanson had arrived at those sounds by mimicking the very means by which a man would make them. There was a mechanism to correspond to every muscle.
Nine bellows were attached to three separate pipes that led into the chest of the figure. Each set of three bellows was attached to a different weight to give out varying degrees of air, and then all pipes joined into a single one, equivalent to a trachea, continuing up through the throat, and widening to form the cavity of the mouth. The lips, which bore upon the hole of the flute, could open and close and move backwards or forwards. Inside the mouth was a moveable metal tongue, which governed the air-flow and created pauses.
This automaton breathed .
Vaucanson had designed seven levers corresponding to the fingers; but although the actions were all correct, the sound was not quite right. He discovered that wooden fingers could not play a metal flute the way a man or woman could: the machine was just not soft enough. So he looked around for a material that would accurately simulate the effect, and found it – the glovemaker's son covered his android's fingers in skin. As a later commentator put it, "What a shame the mechanician stopped so soon, when he could have gone ahead and given his machine a soul."
What's movie coincides with this message?
Robert, the Doll…
Seems we have a resurgence in the agenda. Dolls were originally created to host a spirit. And automaton's are no less threatening…the dark side of the supernatural world want nothing less than to possess your soul. Be wise and don't travel down the rabbit hole unless you are exposing this subject.
Why? Because this rabbit hole leads to hell!
What is the fascination? To create life. But, only GOD can actually create life which has a soul. All others are counterfeits.
Transhumanism is a modern version of this same agenda. Only it has progressed further than ever before. Uploading of man's consciousness into a machine is one of the elite's goal. Is this what GOD referred to as 'abomination of desolation'?
Satan would love to destroy everything GOD created, but this will not happen. But, we will see strange happenings before the end comes. In both biblical and rabbinic Hebrew, the word "abomination" is a term used for idol. So, is this a hybrid god? Satan in the form of a machine/god?
Daniel 9 (KJV)
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Daniel 11 (KJV)
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Daniel 12 (KJV)
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Mark 13 (KJV)
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

THIS! Pee Wee Herman will be returning to the place that launched him into the pop culture stratosphere.

The 2010 revival of "The Pee-Wee Herman Show" has been updated to include current events and new characters and has been a big success on Broadway.

Philosophers, he argued, have spent enough time cogitating in their armchairs. Knobe described how he and a group of like-minded colleagues in the discipline have undertaken a more engaged approach, working with cognitive scientists and designing experiments that will "test" people's intuitions about traditional philosophic puzzlers such as the existence of God, the objectivity of ethics and the possibility of free will. The result: new, empirically-grounded insights available to philosophers and psychologists.
The Lying Down game has mushroomed in popularity. It's originators (Gary Clarkson and Christian Langdon) have described the game as "parkour, for those who can't be arsed" but in many ways this 'lying down' phenomena is absolutely antithetical to urban navigation discipline of parkour: Its not quite about the expediency of movement so much as it's complete and utter cessation, in the most sensational places possible.

Bible Reading: John 6:22-54
We should remember that the purpose of John's Gospel is "that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name" [John 20:31]. Throughout John's Gospel the deity of Jesus is the clear focus. There are seven testimonies of different people affirming the deity of Jesus Christ. There are seven signs that point to His deity, and there are seven "I am" sayings that point to the deity of Christ. The first of these sayings is "I am the bread of life" [John 6:35,48,51].
Bread is a staple food, and a basic dietary item, and therefore synonymous with food in general and necessary food. By equating Himself with bread Jesus is saying that He is essential for life. The bread that He gave to the five thousand was physical bread that perishes but Jesus is the spiritual bread that brings eternal life. In this sense it is different to the manna in the wilderness. The Israelites ate the manna but still died. Those who eat this bread shall never hunger [v.35], and those who eat it shall live forever [v.51].
The people must have thought Jesus was crazy to say that they must eat His flesh. Obviously it does not mean to physically eat His body, so what then does it mean? Here are some clues:
"But don't be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you. Believe in the one he has sent" [John 6:27,29 NLT]. "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me (in faith) will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty" [John 6:35 NLT]. "For it is my Father's will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life" [John 6:40 NLT].
"I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life" [John 6:47 NLT].
Each of these verses speaks of believing on Jesus and thus receiving eternal life. Jesus also says that unless we eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man we cannot have eternal life, and that anyone who eats His flesh and drinks His blood has eternal life [John 6:53-54]. What Jesus is saying is that eternal life is only received by believing on Him. Our faith is in His death (the sacrifice of His flesh) and in His resurrection! It is more than to believe about Him; it is to depend upon Him, to trust Him and adhere to Him. That is likened to eating His flesh and drinking His blood. We are to come to Him, believe on Him, feed on Him, and be united with Him. His life becomes our life. Through faith Christ now lives His life in us!
How would you answer someone who asked you if it is true that Christians eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus?
In what way does the phrase, "I am the bread of life" express the fact that Jesus is God?
Why was the crowd so excited by the sign when Jesus fed them with the loaves and fish but became upset when Jesus called Himself the Bread of Life and offered them spiritual bread?

Brain cells combine place and taste to make food maps
Sometimes a really good meal can make an evening unforgettable. A new study of rats, published online February 18 in the Journal of Neuroscience, may help explain why. A select group of nerve cells in rats' brains holds information about both flavors and places, becoming active when the right taste hits the tongue when the rat is in a certain location. These double-duty cells could help...

Tooth plaque shows drinking milk goes back 3,000 years in Mongolia
WASHINGTON — Ancient people living in what's now Mongolia drank milk from cows, yaks and sheep — even though, as adults, they couldn't digest lactose. That finding comes from the humblest of sources: ancient dental plaque.
Modern Mongolians are big on dairy, milking seven different animal species, including cows, yaks and camels. But how far into the past that dairying tradition extends...
Why some Georgia O'Keeffe paintings have 'art acne'
WASHINGTON — Like pubescent children, the oil paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe have been breaking out with "acne" as they age, and now scientists know why.
Tiny blisters, which can cause paint to crack and flake off like dry skin, were first spotted forming on the artist's paintings years ago. O'Keeffe, a key figure in the development of American modern art, herself had noticed these knobs...

- The German bond's 3% loss on a 12 basis point yield move shows how risky bonds are right now.
- The value of the S&P 500 should be around 1,600 but could go lower with bad economic news.
- Bonds and stocks seem very risky as they both have low yields and large downsides.
Last Friday was a pretty scary day in the financial markets. The S&P 500 lost 2.45% and bonds also lost ground due to higher yields.
Stocks and bonds are correlated and don't provide quality diversification. We have been warning about the risks inherent to bond investing for a while with warnings that the low yields mean high risk and low returns.
The magnitude of what could be lost by investing in bonds can be better understood by taking a look at the German 10-year bund price which jumped from a negative -0.11% yield to a positive 0.01% yield which represents a change of 12 basis points.
Figure 1: German 10-year bund. Source: Investing.com.
The value of the German bund fell almost 3% in a matter of two days. A FED decision to increase interest rates, any sign of inflation, or the reach of global understanding that monetary easing does not work anymore after 7 years would have a severe and quick negative effect on bond values and stock yields.
The fact that there has been no inflation and interest rates have been kept low for a long period doesn't mean that we can just exclude those factors from our risk assessment models. So, be aware of those that use models based on the 5-year data.
What's Going On In The Markets?
We aren't just going to list the latest news, but instead will try to differentiate between cause and motive. Cause is the fundamental factor behind market moves and the motive is what triggers it.
There have been plenty of motives behind last Friday's move. At the beginning of last week, it seemed like markets didn't want to see the reality and everyone was happy with low interest rates and slow economic growth. But then suddenly markets woke up as the European Central Bank (ECB) president, Mario Draghi, didn't do anything.
Markets, like addicts, were expecting increased stimulus, which didn't come. Draghi defended ECB policies and urged governments to spend more to spur growth and inflation, which is a sign that central banks may have reached their limits.
On top of the Europeans not pushing for more easing, the rumor is that the FED will soon increase rates as the economy, and especially the markets, are heating up. A 76% probability that the FED will raise interest rates in the upcoming meeting is concerning considering what happened to German bunds when yields increased by just 12 basis points.
Figure 2: Probability of FED rate increases in next meeting. Source: CME Group.
Also on Friday, the news broke out that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) might be running out of government bonds to buy. Without bonds to buy, the current purchases just create an asset bubble and have no direct impact on the economy. The increase in BOJ's ownership share of government bonds without positive economic effects creates lots of questions.
Figure 3: BOJ's share of Japanese government bonds. Source: Wall Street Journal.
This might all be good news for the long term as central bankers are beginning to understand that their monetary policy magic works only up to a point, after which structural reforms and increases in productivity are the only options left. If this process has started, there will be severe market implications as markets will be left to themselves. As we know that the current bull market is mostly fueled by the FED, we can expect rough times ahead.
Figure 4: The FED's balance sheet and the S&P 500. Source: FRED.
The question now is "how bad can it get?"
We saw pretty sharp declines of slightly above 10% in August 2015 and January 2016, but a real bear market should be worse. By plotting a straight line through the middle of the last three bull markets, we can see an indication of where the S&P 500 could end up based on the last two bear markets.
Figure 5: S&P 500 potential in a bear market. Source: Yahoo Finance.
We shouldn't be surprised to see the S&P 500 fall to a value of 1,600 which would give it a more realistic PE ratio of 18. If panic kicks in accompanied by a recession, we could easily see the S&P 500 dive below the 1,600 mark, but such a situation would probably be very short term as it was in 2002 and 2009. If this projection comes to fruition, it will present a great buying opportunity.
If central bankers decide it's time to remove the foot from the gas pedal and put more pressure on governments that have been enjoying low interest rates without implementing much structural reforms in order to increase the potential of an economy, we could see sharp declines in asset values like the ones seen last Friday.
If central bankers decide to protect the markets by increasing stimulus, the cycle will just be postponed as the real issue lies in productivity.
There is no easy answer to the question of what to do now as a lot of things could happen. Owning assets seems like a high risk, low yield situation, therefore investors should create a portfolio that will protect themselves no matter what happens, which right now doesn't mean to diversify with bonds and stocks as those assets are correlated.
An insight into a higher level of diversification can be reached by reading our article here.

Your wedding is special, but your expenses can get out of control if you try to compete with those real elaborate weddings. There are a number of things that you can do to keep within your wedding budget. This article is packed with useful tips and tricks for planning a magical wedding on a practical budget.
When you're getting plans together for your wedding, consider the types of alcoholic beverages you're going to be serving. Also be aware of the cost. Open bars can be expensive and can be more so if they're open a long time. Speak with the people at the venue about any alcohol serving options.
It is important to practice walking down the aisle as often as possible before the ceremony. Try to practice at the wedding site so you can test your chosen shoes on the flooring at the site. It can also better the flow when the actual wedding takes place.
If you are making the food for your wedding, try shopping at stores like Costco. Shopping wholesale when it comes to food helps you get the necessary items at a much cheaper cost. Also, ask friends and family members to help cover the cost of the food.
Purchasing a wedding gown online can save a lot of money. If you decide to go this route, purchase the dress early so you will have time to get it altered. While buying a dress online may be less expensive, alterations can quickly add to the cost. The cost of an alteration should also be included in your budget.
Wedding dresses can be quite an expense. When shopping for your dress, consider dresses that may not be categorized as a wedding dress. A bridesmaid dress could fit your needs and would not be as expensive as an actual wedding dress. You can choose to alter the dress and add your own flair, while still saving plenty of money.
Have your wedding at a friend's home. For example, a large backyard could be the perfect setting, and you will save a lot of money this way. Try paying someone to come out in advance and after your event to clean the place for the only location-based cost.
Online wedding gown purchases can be easy on your wallet, but give yourself enough time for alterations as needed. Even though a gown can be fairly cheap, having it altered to fit your perfectly can sometimes be more costly. Make sure the additional costs are allowed for in the budget.
Select your makeup artist carefully. Be sure to view his or her work before hiring. Do you really like their style? Make sure you love it. You don't want your makeup to be wrong on the day of the wedding when you can't fix it.
Transportation is a key element to consider when planning your wedding. Make sure your guests will have ways to be transported back to wherever they're staying. In addition, this benefits those who drank alcohol during the festivities.
The music ranks up there with the videographer in terms of importance. Make sure the person you hire knows what type of music you do not want played. This is far more important than getting every tune you want to hear played, as a song from a genre you and your guests hate can kill the entire mood. It doesn't matter what type of music. Whatever the case may be, be sure the DJ does not play it, and avoid becoming upset at your wedding.
It could be anyone, really, but they should be able to help you carry your gear. They can assist you in getting the family together for group shots, too!
If you invite people to an exotic destination wedding, they will likely want to stay for part of your honeymoon time as well, since they are already there. By booking longer stays, money can be saved. This helps make your wedding experience more memorable for everyone!
You may decide to go with a boldly colored wedding cake which can function as the main centerpiece at the reception. In that case, consider placing a swatch of color-coordinated fabric beneath the cake. You could even select a patterned or strongly textured fabric to focus attention on the cake and its beauty.
Your guests shouldn't wait while you are having pictures taken. These pictures should be done beforehand. Having as many photographs taken as possible beforehand will help the transition between the ceremony and the reception go much smoother.
Try searching Craigslist to find a local DJ or band for your wedding. Before you hand over any money, both bride and groom should meet with them ahead of time, in person.
Share an online itinerary with your guests, especially the out-of-town ones, so that everyone can plan their schedules in advance. Let people be aware of the events, such as rehearsals and the things that they must come to, so that they could be there at the appropriate time.
Dependent on the state where the wedding is to occur, certain popular flowers, such as those that bloom in your state, might not be easily available especially if they are not in season. Call ahead or look online to determine which flowers are available in your destination country during the time your wedding will occur.
If the couple likes to travel, find decorative elements that incorporate their love for it. Invitation can be designed to resemble a travel brochure, boarding pass or vintage postcard. You could use a worn leather suitcase to display things such as your wedding program, photographs, or favors for the guest.
Inform your caterer if you're going to be having your wedding reception outdoors. Some dishes won't fair well in heat, and others might just not weigh enough to stay place in firm wind. One way to address the wind issue is to use decorative covers for the dishes. If needed, you can keep beverages cool in a small fridge.
Let the kids dress comfortably at your ceremony. Choose softer fabrics that fit loose enough to prevent discomfort. If they are going to have new shoes, you should let them wear them a few times before the ceremony to break them in. Attention to this detail will give the children a chance to focus on their role in the wedding as opposed to fidgeting with their outfit.
Do not forget a registry for gifts or to set up online registries. Let your guests know that they are not obligated to buy anything from the registry. There should be varying price ranges and a wide array of gifts to choose from. By selecting different priced items, people can find items they can comfortably afford to give.
If you plan to have an outdoor ceremony, be sure to take weather (sun or rain) into account to ensure happy guests. You can rent some large tents, or book a outdoor venue that includes a hall that is available in case of bad weather. Planks can also be installed to prevent your guests from getting mud all over the their shoes and clothes.
The photographer you choose for your wedding should not simply take photos; instead they ought to be creating memories. When you interview your photographer, ask them how they think the day should progress. Ask how they will capture those precious moments. You want their style to mesh with what you have planned and your vision.
Wedding Planner
Always take into consideration whether or not you want children invited to your wedding. Not allowing children may reduce headaches and costs. You may find that some guests will not be able to make it because of no one to watch their children.
Get more out of your wedding planner with research done ahead of time. Follow the lead of fashion designers and stylists who create "look books" and mood boards comprised of fabric swatches, imagery and other inspirational tidbits that can serve as a starting point for the finished product. You can clip magazine photos, song lyrics, or photos that help you convey what you want to your wedding planner.
It is vital that your wedding lives up to the bride's expectations so that she can be happy during the wedding. She will not be happy if she must do the planning or there is something wrong. In order to avoid a potentially catastrophic situation, you should make certain that every decision is reviewed by her.
Always look into legal requirements and restrictions when planning to get married abroad. There may be fees to pay or other red tape to get through. You do not want to book a hotel or pay for a flight until these are taken care of.
Compose your very own wedding vows. Of course, copying vows from another source is easier, but keep in mind that your partner knows you well. Doing so adds a personal touch to your big day. You can gather inspiration from other sources; however, make them your own.
Gift registries are part of a wedding. Make sure your guests know that they don't have to bring a large gift if they're unable to. Additionally, choose items with a wide price range. Make sure that you put a lot of thought into your wedding registry.
It really is possible to plan a wedding with a shoestring budget. A wedding should not put you into serious debt. Creating invitations yourself, asking loved ones to contribute and making flower arrangements on your own can lead to massive savings.
Make your flowers stand out by using centerpieces of varying heights. Different types of vases should be included in the design. Put hydrangeas or other flowers with volume around these vases. The shorter flowers should have more prominent blooms and be more lightly colored.
When looking for music for your wedding, be sure to research the DJ or band that you are considering using. Ask for contacts and references before you hire them. Once you make a decision, you want to make sure the date is well known, and that a contract is signed to confirm the agreement. This will help that there is great music on the day of the wedding.
So that you and your fiance are prepared for the first dance at your wedding, you should both spend some time practicing a dance with you wearing a long skirt. Your skirt might be something you are used to walking or dancing in, but your soon-to-be husband might not. You might feel better about dancing in a very fancy dress.
Your wedding planning should take weather into account. An outdoor wedding may not be the best choice for a hot, humid day, since many of those you invite may not stay long. In the same vein, people may ditch your wedding if the heat isn't turned up high enough, during a winter event. Make small accommodations to ensure the comfort of your guests, like providing fans for a hot summer wedding.
Plan your wedding well in advance. A year might seem like quite a long time, but there are many things that must be done. The earlier you get started, the better your wedding will be.
Maximize your spending by using a reward program credit card for your major expenses. When planning your wedding, you will likely accumulate numerous expenses. You may not be able to avoid the expenses, but you might as well try to make them work to your advantage! All of these charges add up quickly when paying for a wedding, allowing you to rack up some great rewards in the process.
Consider what the weather may be like on your wedding day. For example, don't hold an outdoor wedding during a heat wave–people might not stay too long, if they are uncomfortable. They also may not have a good experience if it is very cold out and you plan a winter celebration. Make small accommodations to ensure the comfort of your guests, like providing fans for a hot summer wedding.
Instead of shopping for an engagement ring, look for a different way. Many times jewelry has been passed down through the generations. Using such a beautiful piece of vintage jewelry can help you feel that you really belong to the family.
It's very possible to have a great wedding that doesn't cause bankruptcy. If you follow the advice you just read, you can plan the ideal wedding for you without going into debt to pay for it.
You'll want to take pictures with many different guests at your wedding. If you don't have a professional photographer and an appropriate schedule, you may end up wasting a good deal of time hunting these people down for the pictures. Tell your guests before your wedding where and when you would like to take your picture with them, and ask you photographer to put a few hours aside for this.

After a year, I finally had my hair cut yesterday. At the Spa, no less! The hair stylist told me that Scarlett was lovely, but her hair style wouldn't work with my hair (which wants to be curly/wavy) and further that bleached blonde hair acted entirely different than my brunette, with the odd sprinkle of grey hair.
So, my hair is cut, and I'm loving it. This morning I'm thinking it's actually a bit more Chrissy Hynde than Scarlett Johansson. Chrissy is actually brunette, and closer to my age bracket too.
Yesterday was great. The morning I spent at work yesterday was entirely unproductive, with happy birthday phone calls, emails and deliveries to the door. I was overwhelmed – in a good way. As I was heading out the door to the Spa, the phone rang. The call display said it was my bank branch. I figured I should pick it up, in the event there was some urgency.
The familiar voice of the Branch Manager said "Tracy, we just drew your name – you won our Breast Cancer Awareness gift basket!" How cool is that? My branch of the CIBC had this beautiful basket of goodies by the tellers for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A raffle ticket for $1 was all it took to win it in their draw. I'll pick it up on Friday.
"Come for cookies on Friday" said the Branch Manager, "it's customer appreciation day!" I have the best bank branch in the world – honestly. What Bank Manager calls you up and invites you for cookies?

Thanks for that silence...I appreciate you putting that on here. I have delayed my "suicidal actions" because of my dog...but things are just not getting any better and if anything they're just getting worse...I just can't handle things for much longer... My only method of coping is cutting and that's not making things any better...if anything it's making things worse cuz I'm having to hide it and deal with the scars afterwards.
I guess I just want to get away...is all. But my parents don't understand that at all. They think they understand but they don't!
I just don't know what to do anymore...I'm at a loss of what to do...how to cope...etc etc.
Sry for posting this. i'm sure you don't need to hear it.

Chaynal , or Chay , is a fictional character in Melanie Rawn's fantasy novels of the Dragon Prince Trilogy and Dragon Star Trilogy.
Lord of Radzyn Keep, Battle Commander of the Desert
Chay was born in 668, the only son of the Lord of Radzyn Keep, one of the Desert's most prominent athr'im, or Lords. He was fostered at Stronghold, the seat of the Desert, where he quickly proved to be a strong and capable warrior. His spirit for horses and a good battle or dragonhunt impressed Prince Zehava, whose demeanor was much the same. Chay became the son they had always wanted; his own heir, Rohan was a mystery to Zehava. Chay also wondered about Rohan and doubted his talk of peace and laws; the sword and rule through strength were all Chay had ever known.
When not at his Prince's side, Chay ruled the port city of Radzyn, which was the largest port in the Desert. During his rule, Chay obtained the sole shipping rights of the silk trade. This and the quality of Radzyn horses - Chay's biggest passion - made the Lord of Radzyn one of the richest and most powerful athr'im on the Continent.
|Dragon Prince Character
|Lord Chaynal of Radzyn Keep
|668, Radzyn, The Desert
|ruby, emerald, and sapphire
|Lord of Radzyn Keep, Battle Commander of the Desert
|The Desert
When Chay returned to Stronghold as the new Lord of Radzyn Keep, he earned the regard of Prince Zehava's daughter, Tobin. With the aid of Rohan, her younger brother, Chay and Tobin met in secret and fell in love. They were married a year later. They had twin sons, Maarken and Jahni in 693, and two years after that, Chay became Battle Commander of the Desert.
Dragon Prince TrilogyEdit
In 698 Prince Zehava received mortal wounds during a dragon hunt. Chay was able to reach his Prince before a death blow landed, but the man died a few days later. Rohan, Chay's brother-in-law, became Prince of the Desert. Chay remained Battle Commander and aided Rohan in his endeavors at the Rialla, which included a plan to bring peace to the Continent. At first Chay was somewhat wary of the new Prince's dream of peace. He was a warrior and knew no other life; however, under Rohan's reign Chay came to see the benefits of a peaceful land and supported his Prince unfaillingly.
A year later Chay and Tobin had another set of twin sons, Andry and Sorin. Two years after that the plague struck; it claimed Jahni's life. Not long after a war broke out between the Desert and Princemarch, and Chay was called to lead the Desert army in the south, while Rohan was held captive in Feruche. During this time, Chay's heir, Maarken, was sent to squire for him. Maarken was faradhi gifted, something that bothered Chay, though he loved his son dearly. Ever since Tobin had nearly been shadow-lost at Zehava's funeral, Chay had been wary of Sunrunner gifts. He was also deeply concerned for the choices his sons would one day have to make, as was illustrated when Maarken first offered to burn the Faolain RIver bridges with Sunruner's Fire - while the enemy was still on them.
After Rohan was released from Feruche, Chay continued to fight and strategize for his Prince, but he was the person to whom Rohan unburdened his soul. Chay was able to snap Rohan into focusing on the war, and then later to pull Rohan out of the impassive shell the Prince had created. By seeing Rohan's doubts, seeing how the Prince questioned everything and always tried to make the right choices, Chay stopped comparing Rohan to Zehava; he did not see Rohan as lacking any longer. In fact, Chay began to believe in Rohan's dreams of peace and law. He did not want his other sons or grandsons to go to war, when they were barely twelve as Maarken had.
The war ended in a duel between Rohan and High Prince Roelstra. Rohan won and became High Prince and his Sunrunner wife, Sioned, the High Princess. After the long absence, Rohan also had an heir, Pol, who would become Prince of Princemarch once he grew to manhood. Chay was one of the few to know Pol's true heritage: he was Roelstra's grandson.
Over the years there were various attacks, one of which claimed the life of his son, Sorin, but for the main there was peace, and Chay stood by his Prince, protecting the Desert and relishing in the newfound peace.
Dragon Star TrilogyEdit
In 737 the peace was shattered. The Vellant'im, a new, outside threat attacked the Continent intent on destroying the Desert. Chay was called once more to fight a war at his Prince's side as the Battle Commander, this time with his son and heir, Maarken, at his side. Chay had to watch as Radzyn was burned and the Desert forces retreated to Stronghold. There, his beloved Prince and brother died. Sioned set the mighty keep ablaze for his pyre. Grief stricken, Chay followed his new Prince, Pol, but retired his position as Battle Commander to Maarken.
Chay survived the war, fighting by his Prince's side, but lost another son, Andry. After the gruelling victory and the restoration of order and peace, he and Tobin were going to return to Radzyn Keep and restore it to the home and grand port it had once been.
Role in the BooksEdit
Chay is Rohan's 'rock.' He is steady, unwavering in his loyalty, and always there to depend on. This does not mean that he is a flat or boring character; on the contrary, Chay is a full of contradictions and complexities. He is a great warrior and strategist and thrives in battle, yet he loves to breed horses and train them to respond to the gentlest touch. He holds the richest and most powerful port on the Continent and could easily form his own princedom, yet he has only ever wanted Radzyn for himself and his sons. Chay often is the one who knocks Rohan off his high horse, yet when it comes down to the line, there is no one Rohan trusts more (with the possible exception of Sioned).
Throughout the series Chay is a pillar of strength to everyone around him. He does have moments of weakness, usually when one of his family is suffering from faradhi or diarmadhi arts, but the one thing readers can count on in the Dragon Prince Trilogy and Dragon Star Trilogy is Chay.
Maarken, Chay's heir, is made of the same mold.

Chicago Cubs (14-13) at Milwaukee Brewers (9-20)
|Date & Time
|Saturday May 9, 2015, 7:10 PM (EDT)
|The Line
The Line: Milwaukee Brewers -112 / Chicago Cubs +102 --- Over/Under: 8.5
|TV Channel
CSN-Chicago, FS-Wisconsin
The Chicago Cubs battle the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park in NL Central action Saturday.
The Chicago Cubs have been fading the last few weeks and need to get their confidence back with a few wins. The Cubs took the first step with a series opening 7-6 win at Milwaukee. Jason Hammel gave up two runs on five hits and a trio of walks over seven frames before Hector Rondon nearly gave the game away with three runs plated in the 9th. The bats produced ten hits an two BB with Dexter Fowler, Anthony Rizzo, Jorge Soler and Starlin Castro slamming long balls and accounting for six runs knocked in. Left hander Travis Wood draws the starting assignment at Milwaukee Saturday. Wood is coming off his poorest start of 2015 with six runs scored on six hits and two BB over five frames of a 10-9 loss at St Louis.
The Milwaukee Brewers are struggling in a big way as they can't get their pitching and hitting on the same page. That didn't change in Friday's series opening defeat to the visiting Cubs. Starter Jimmy Nelson was charged with four runs on five hits but three of those hits were homers which negated his eleven strikeouts. The Brewers did their damage on ten hits and seven walks with Khris Davis going 4-5 with a homer and three RBI's. Ryan Braun was 2-3 with a long ball and three runs knocked in and three scored. Veteran Kyle Lohse looks for a victory versus visiting Chicago on Saturday. Lohse held the Dodgers off in a 4-3 win last time out with all three runs scored on four hits and a trio of walks in five innings.
The over is 19-7-2 in Chicago's last 28 road games and the Cubs are 6-15 in their last 21 Saturday games while the over is 12-5-1 in their last 18 Saturday games. Milwaukee are 5-13 in their last 18 home games and are 18-42 in their last 60 overall while going 18-42 in their last 60 games on grass. The Cubs are 9-27 in the last 36 meetings in Milwaukee and the under is 20-8 in the last 28 meetings. I find it difficult to back the Brewers nowadays but it's even more difficult backing the Cubs because I just can't figure them out so I will sit this out…
