| History of Blemya - Luiz Pagano & Mauricio Bozzi - importing vodkas from Russia Веда – русская водка |
In the year 1271, Marco Polo a Venetian merchant made an extent 24 year journey into central Asia, he spent 17 years alone in Mongol-controlled China and served as a special foreign envoy for the great Kublai Khan – He probably, had no idea that his adventures would change the world.
When returning, Marco did not bring great personal riches, only a few knickknacks, a handful of pearls and gifts for family and friends. But the great treasure was not limited on that material goods – it was much bigger than that, he brought 'Il Milione'.
'Il Milione' the Italian for Million, was the name of the book detailing the events of the voyage. Among his tales readers will encounter accurate accounts of that unknown land, such as the idea of paper money, the pasta, a great success in Italian cuisine to date, among other things.
But there we can also find some preposterous supernatural events and an astonishing bestiary, including men with the features of dogs, eagles capable to fly carrying elephants and 'the blemies' – faceless creatures with their facial features on their chest.
In the present day the surface of the planet no longer represents great mystery, on average, more than 8 million people are flying troughout the planet, we have mapped every square inch of land - globalization, which grew massively in the 70s and 80s brought us great benefits, but still, some big monsters are on the loose - xenophobia, racism, discrimination between the sexes, among others.
Ignorance seems to be the leader of those monsters, it is the worst of the all together - we need a good one, a bigger one, stronger one, capable to overcome ignorance and all other monsters.
So in with the presence of this effective monster, named ignorance, we have created a more effective hero: Blemya.
Blemyas belongs to a race that had evolved from humans, there is only asexual beings in the tribe, and they are individuals of bright intellect and elevated moral.
They are so smart that they managed to survive in secret from the rest of humanity for millennia, they helped humanity to achieve the end of the world wars and to get rid of a nuclear Armageddon, but the work that lies ahead is huge ....
Blemyas have only one weak point, as asexual beings the only way to make the Blemyas population grow is:
Keep all situations peaceful;
Strive to know yourself - find out what is the best version of you, and be that person;
There is no way to change the past, but from now on, only make decisions that make you have a happy Karma;
Do not judge people and situations;
See things from the other person's perspective - practice empathy;
Rise above;

In 1997, I joined the Mauricio Bozzi, a great salesman and a great friend to create a international business company specialized in new product introduction, with some kind of difficulty in the market, named Bozzi & Pagano.

In the initial years, business was really prosperous, Dynamic Cooking Systems industrial line, American competitor of Viking ranges had a representation agreement with us, and we also outsourced the sales team of Austrian energy drink Flash Power, while this category had not yet specific legislation in Brazilian territory. Our businesses were performing outstandingly at that point.
We felt privileged to have this big luck in business, we travel; we were always at parties, and on top of such great happiness we were always conjecturing how could we have a better world.
Mauricio was a very enterprising guy, focused on making money, but also was really dedicated to help friends in their needs. It was frequent for us to make a massive shopping in a supermarket for unemployed friends, or collecting some old clothing for donations. In 2008 we lived the boom of energy drink, we earned more money than we needed and we start to devote a relatively small portion of our earnings to help needy friends.

| Blemyas over the years |
Due to some of our own immature moments at the time, we were omitting from our wives these little 'spending with friends' and every time they asked about where was some given sum of money that we had won, we said that a 'little female monster' had eaten it, giving them the impression that we were spending money with an extramarital love affair.
Later, Mauricio started working as an employee of Flash Power and I tried to keep Bozzi & Pagano Company alive on my own. In April 2000 we tried to introduce a multi distilled cachaça in Brazil, and to export it to some countries that we had contact, but the business were not going well. One day I went to show this cachaça to a French chef of cuisine, friend of mine here in São Paulo... he made a frustrating assessment:
"Are you only working with this cachaça?" Asked the chef, I said yes and then he retorted "that cachaça is horrible, you'll have no future with her. I’ll introduce you to some friends of mine, who are behind a cool business here in Brazil."
And so, on a Monday, May 8th, 2000 I started working as an employee in the introduction of Veuve Clicquot in Brazilian market. On Thursday of the same week, I went for a beer with Mauricio to celebrate.
He was delighted to see me working with this brand and also with the help that such a great chef had given me. In the bar table, we spoke also about the cachaça company, which had little chance of success in the format it adopted and which one of the partners was a relative of Antoninho da Rocha Marmo, a holy child, responsible for numerous miracles in the city of São Paulo.
We recall the many people who we had helped in our prosperous times and we decided that if one day we return to prosper again, we would dedicate part of our earnings to research and development of intelligent mechanisms of humanitarian aid, and thus, our ‘little female monster’ would live again.
At that moment I remembered a dream I had, it was about a trip I’ve made with the family of Marco Polo, in which we’ve found a futuristic city of Blemias, headless monsters that had their faces on the chest.
The Blemias were part of a race that had evolved from humans, there were only women in the tribe, and they were individuals of bright intellect. In my dream, they were so smart that they managed to survive in secret from the rest of humanity for millennia, in a city on the heights with an ingenious holograms projector that disguise the whole city as a mountain.

| Dream of Blemyas - Luiz Pagano's Agenda May 11th, 2000 |
These beings were helping humanity to achieve the end of the world wars, and to get rid of the Cold War in the 80s and 90s - the reproduction of the blemias, even in my dream, were a mystery too.
We decided that the name of this great social welfare company would be blemia, nothing more appropriate for a company dedicated to foreign trade, such as Marco Polo was, having a blemia as an institutional mascot. The blemia or Blemya, as we wrote, would be the company whose mysticism and kindness toward our society would be as big as the holy child, Antoninho da Rocha Marmo.
In 2007 I created a blog for the company Bozzi & Pagano and also for Blemya, once we could not have Blemya as a real company, we would make it live virtually.
My partner passed away in December 2010 and we never managed to revive the Blemya in its full form, at least in the design we had create that Thursday afternoon. But Blemya lives - the blog has had nearly 200 thousand accesses and much of our ideas, some pioneers, are widely discussed on the Internet.

| As we've seen, Blemyas exists in only one gender, feminine. The reproduction of the Blemias is no longer a mystery, it happens when one man (the masculine form for mankind) helps another in a very genuine spirit. |
For me it is a great pride go through with this project, I'm sure that someday we will live in a post-scarcity society, in which religions will respect each other, within the omnism principle, that we will understand that the concept of waste does not exist, and that our maximum proposal, that we are individuals that must interconnect, one to another, on this planet, with the spirit of fraternity and mutual help.
