The light of the mysteries will emerge upon the surface of the Earth and the consciousnesses of humanity will come to know Truth.
A Truth that has always been there, latent but silent, waiting to emerge to the surface so that the race might perceive it has never been alone in this Universe.
But when this Truth emerges, with it will arrive the awareness of each being, and they will realize the wounds that many nations have brought upon the planet.
At that moment, everything will be put into evidence and the planet will show all that it has suffered throughout times, as well as all that it had to endure in silence.
Because when the Truth emerges, the prayer of the faithful devotees will make this Truth more impactful. It will take an almost physical form so that no being becomes confounded and they may understand what they will be experiencing without the need for anyone to interpret these events.
The Truth that will emerge upon the Surface will bring many revelations with it. Humanity will realize all its faults upon becoming aware of the essence of its purpose as beings and as members of humanity.
This Truth will open the eyes of those who have always aspired to know what is beyond this world, but the impact of this Truth will have repercussions in the knowledge and the beliefs that each one has about reality.
While Truth emerges to the Surface, God will send a stronger impulse so that the whole Earth may have the Grace of being able to surrender and recognize its faults, and in this way all may be repaired.
At this moment, many inner worlds will be able to take back what they left pending in the Universe, and they will make themselves available to carry out that which the Plan of God so much expected.
The Earth will be restored from the abuses and the diseases that the human being has imposed upon it for decades.
Thus, nature will be healed and no longer lose the space that has corresponded to it since the beginning of Creation.
This moment will finally come after the planet itself has purged what causes adversity and pain to it.
When the Creator thought of the human Project, He contemplated from the start upon the possibility of His making of Himself a creature among His creatures.
The human beings were created among so many other beings and civilizations of the Universe, to express something that none of them had expressed.
They were created to unite dimensions, to express the love that overcomes the limits of all existence, and this allows beings to unite with God. They were created to express the essential likeness with the Father of all life.
The human purpose is great, and for this reason, My children, it is not attained in a simple way, although everything can occur with the awakening of consciousness and the firm decision of loving without conditions and surrendering everything for this purpose of entering the divine mysteries within one's own heart, like in the infinite Cosmos.
Living the human potential seems to be something impossible, because most beings have not opened to truly experience the Love of God, which they are capable of finding and feeling within themselves.
I have taught you to pray, so that in this way you might cross the doors of your own heart and, little by little, you might discover the possibility of uniting with God, to feel Him and experience Him.
When a being truly lives the Love of God, My children, even for an instant, this is enough to lead them to understand that any sacrifice, effort or renunciation, of things of the world and of human illusions, is small to attain the Eternity within this Divine Love.
God, knowing that His children were lost in their evolution and that they increasingly moved away from their purpose and truth, and in order not to allow humanity to again go astray, as had happened so many times, your Creator Father decided He would Himself come to the world and show them the way.
So immense and merciful was the impulse of God for humanity, an impulse never before given to any creature, neither in Heaven nor upon Earth, that the whole existence placed its eyes, heart and hope in this world.
When I cry for the world, it is to clean with My tears the indifference and the lack of love that blinds My children and do not allow them to see the Truth and the Kingdom of God.
When I cry for the world, it is so that I can, through the pain that I feel in My Heart, alleviate the pain that the Heart of Christ feels for seeing the planet and the evil that overtakes the hearts that He loves so much, since the beginning of life.
My tears are shed upon the world, as a river of pity and compassion. The tears of a mother for her children heal, repair and generate merits for the salvation of souls, no matter how sinful and lost they may be.
Therefore, My children, today, with My hands in prayer, I wash My Rosary with tears; tears that seek the awakening of humanity; tears from eyes that see a reality that only the Heart of God can reach.
My children, through prayer, through the awakening of consciousness and the sacrifices experienced for love, you will be able to heal this world and dry the tears that My Immaculate Heart sheds today in reparation for the Earth.
Infinite life awaits you. The Thought and Essence of God still await to manifest within humanity.
May the agony that so many nations experience today lead you to look within and upwards, to seek the Truth that hides within you and to know that only with Truth will you be able to overcome these times, having love triumph and not strengthening hatred and indifference.
Struggle, My children, but struggle for Peace, with the rosary in your hands and with the love of your hearts. Struggle, overcoming your human condition and establishing peace, as the greatest service that you can render today for this wounded planet.
While the consciousness of nations live their passion in this time, be imitators of My Immaculate Heart.
To those who awaken
In the Universe, there are three manifestations of God, through His three Persons: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
The divine aspect of the Holy Spirit is impelled by the Source of the Sacred Feminine Energy or Mother of the World.
This unknown manifestation of the Holy Spirit is what is carrying forward the plan of awakening to a great part of humanity. And this awakening, which is impelled by the Universe, has no religion, only has essence, and its essence is Universal Love, the Love that moves the whole Universe and leads the consciousnesses to live learnings and experiences.
The Source of the Sacred Feminine Energy, or Mother of the World, is what within the cycle of awakening is spiritually working within an important part of humanity, which is the youth. Because in the youth of this time is the potential and the inner fire for the realization and the concretion of the Divine Plan on Earth.
For this reason, the Source of the Sacred Feminine Energy is supporting the awakening of the youngest ones, because within them resistance does not prevail and, if it existed, they would have no difficulty transforming it.
In the youth of this time, the Project of peace and of consciousness must be expressed. A project that impels the manifestation of the bases of peace on the surface of the Earth in times of conflict, and the establishment of consciousness through the awakening to the life of the spirit and to awareness, through care and love for the planet and for the Kingdoms of Nature.
Therefore, this is the cycle in which the youth must be gathered so that, among the young ones, they may not only share and experience the culture of peace and fraternity, but also the inner talents may awaken in the younger ones, making them participants in the events of the end of times.
And in some plane of consciousness, to some spiritual degree, each youth has a commitment to the Source of the Sacred Feminine Energy and, being children and inheritors of this Source, they will count on its support and fortitude to carry forward the Will of God.
The light of the mystery is revealed in this time and is born from within the Sacred Centers so that the human consciousness may receive the impulse of awakening and of cosmic reality.
It is in this way that these Sacred Centers, fruits of Creation and present in various points of the planet, are the most potent powerhouses of light that attract, to the Earth and to humanity, the Grace of being able to have the Greater Knowledge radiated by the great constellations and stars.
It is in this way, My children, that the human being again remembers, and for the memory of the origin to arrive, of who they were and the reason for having emerged from a pure and supreme Fount, Founts present in various spaces of the Universe.
Each being of this planet is a star, which had once lived an experience in some place of the Universe, but for this experience to be more enriched and so that it could bear its fruits, most of My children had to arrive on this blue planet to deepen in love and in forgiveness.
But their history will not end in this life, there is something that exists beyond the sphere of the Earth which is called "macrocosm". To there they must return, with a learning fulfilled and a mission accomplished.
The Sacred Centers are within the reach of human beings to allow them to remember all these things. For this reason, the light of the Center of Figueira is the first essence of love that, with power and fortitude, will be unveiled in the heart that opens to receive it.
Let the light of the Center of Figueira be a bridge of elevation and an impulse of transcendence for all human conditions.
From each Sacred Center will emerge, not only the light of their essences, but there will also be the appearance of the Hierarchy as a member of a Greater and evolutionary Order of the entire Cosmic Universe.
It is time, children, to recognize, through these impulses, the last revealing impulses that will come to humanity to lead it toward the expansion of consciousness with the aim of someday assuming evolution, the care and the love for this planet, which is the receptacle of great and unknown Sacred Centers that God Himself created so that all of His children might be accompanied and could thus come to meet Him.
My dear children,
Today we reunite and unite again, from heart to heart, to attend to and pray for the grave world situation, an effect from the imbalance within all of the Kingdoms, especially in the Human Kingdom and for the excessive use of power.
All these events, My children, leads humanity to live and suffer a disorder that also reflects within the life of the spirit.
For this reason, beloved children, this is the time of prayer for the nations, because by praying for each one of the peoples and of the cultures, you will be praying for your planet, which also silently suffers the aggressions of the human being.
However, have faith in the awakening of consciousness, in the possibility that, through prayer and altruistic service, you will be able to relieve the mental consciousness of humanity.
In the meantime, My children, I need an army of praying souls that will accompany your Celestial Mother in the purpose of bringing peace to the world ever more, and of attaining the end of suffering.
This is the time of seeing awaken and flourish, within you, the virtues that My Son gave you so that your talents may be at the service of the Plan of Love and Redemption.
To pray for the nations also means to pray for the angels of the nations, which in this time suffer the consequences of the decisions that the peoples adopt as a model of social and spiritual life.
Today, by means of the union of our voices, let us open the Heavens, trusting and feeling the descent of Grace as a current that purifies the nations and heals the hearts in the face of all adversity.
I thank you for responding to My call!
Who blesses you,
Your Mother Mary, Rose of Peace
Dear Children:
The time of the purification of each soul, of each consciousness, refers to the moment of being consciously able to be freed from many past spiritual experiences, which compromised the walking and the evolution in degrees of love.
For that reason, to get rid of that past history means to open up without fear and leave behind any resistance that may interfere.
This is the time to make a synthesis of your life in order to close many inner doors that only lead to states of consciousness of suffering and pain.
The time of purification is so as to be able to move towards a new stage, which will place each consciousness in another step of awakening and redemption.
However, the moment for coming to know the reality of each being is like facing something that would have no solution. But through Grace and Mercy, consciousnesses can heal the past, daring to take more steps in love and in compassion.
By following in the steps of the Hierarchy, souls will achieve the peace of knowing that they are already in another school.
I thank you for responding to My call!
Who blesses you,
Your Mother Mary, Rose of Peace
Since you emerged in the Heart of God, until you reached Planet Earth to live an experience of love, a long story has been written in the Universe.
Marked in the Mirrors of the Cosmos, as the record of the learning experience of the creatures of God, your evolution will forever remain stored so that you can learn from the triumphs, as well as from the errors, and not fall again into the same difficulties that have led you into decadence, as beings and as humanity.
Just as the Mirrors of the Cosmos turn to Earth to radiate light and peace, they also place over the human consciousness, My children, the records kept in the Universe about the history and the evolution of each being. It is in this way because the time has come to remember, so that, with the degrees of love and awakening that you live today, you may heal and forgive what you lived in the past.
In the same way, all the positive and evolutionary learning experiences that you have lived as consciousnesses, spirits in evolution, will also be radiated to Earth, because you will need them in this time in order to know how to act before the difficulties that will present themselves.
Nothing that you live on Earth has its roots on the planet. You came here to consolidate a learning experience of love and to heal the records and experiences that need healing, because, although it may not seem like it, children, in this world you have everything you need for this.
As the Time of God draws closer to the time of the Earth, higher realities also gradually become visible, and what was in dimensions that were not accessible to the human consciousness before, in its current condition, begin to be revealed.
This happens, My children, because you have already experienced much in this world, and before you destroy your own lives and life on Earth, due to ignorance and human sleep, your Creator Father begins to awaken you.
The spiritual life and the life of true prayer are the keys to live these times with peace.
Dear singing and instrument-playing children,
That, for this day, with this new meeting, your voices and instruments may rise to God in order to keep imploring and crying out for the redemption of the planet.
May the Heavens descend to Earth through the inner portal that today your hearts will be able to open.
May the Heavenly Father again hear all of your musical offerings so that, by means of this impulse of love from His children of the Earth, He may pour all of His Infinite Mercy over the humanity in need.
Children, that today, in a simple but profound way, this essential union of your souls with the Creator may be established so that, through this musical meeting, the attributes of peace, harmony, love and fraternity may be present in the consciousness of all human beings.
May, in this gala night, in which your spirits will be able to shine more than hundreds of stars, your souls unite in a single brotherhood, in the same love and in the same fraternity, so that everything, which will be humbly offered today, may radiate throughout the planet, and the spiritual and internal needs of the peoples, races and nations may be supplied.
Dear children, today, once again, I will be accompanying you in unity and in good so that, with the special aid of the angels, the fruits of this special musical meeting may be placed at the feet of the Heavenly Father and the whole world may receive Mercy and atonement.
Beloved children, may your voices vibrate and rise in love before this possibility of being able to sing to God, to life and to all souls that will need to awaken from the deep sleep of this time.
Beloved children, may everything be in your heart as it has been in current times.
May each new gala be an opportunity of renewal and confirmation of your faith for the Work of the Hierarchy.
Today I leave you My Peace, knowing that, from now on, you will wholeheartedly offer everything for the healing and the redemption of this race.
I bless you and wish you a most beautiful musical gala for this special night.
I thank you for responding to My call!
Your Mother Mary, Rose of Peace
Through My Presence, God brings you His Infinite Compassion, which, approaching the Earth, will try to rescue the souls of humanity from the abysses.
Divine Compassion is capable of forgiving what is most difficult, just as it is also capable of helping maintain an absolute balance during the times of rivalries.
It is for this reason that Divine Compassion leads to the awakening of pure neutrality.
In this time, Divine Compassion will try to place souls on the path that they once lost, for different reasons.
Divine Compassion will create an inner space, within the state of eternal light, where the soul will be placed in order to find relief for its errors and its purifications.
Divine Compassion brings us hope and renewal, indispensable attributes for the healing of all humankind.
May Divine Compassion guard and protect everyone so that, being in it, all may drink from the Fount of God's Love.
I thank you for responding to My call!
Who blesses you,
Your Mother Mary, Rose of Peace
Dear Child,
Today I make the Star of the Celestial Brotherhood shine upon My Maternal Bosom in order to announce to the world that the moment of the great intervention is approaching and that consciousnesses will have the last opportunity for their awakening.
Today I make the Star of the Celestial Brotherhood shine upon My Maternal Bosom, so that the beings of the Earth come out of the hypnotism of world illusion, become aware and value the life that the Father has granted them to be present on this planet.
Today I make the Star of the Celestial Brotherhood shine upon My Maternal Bosom, so that all human beings may understand, through this symbol, that life does not end here, that after this life many more lessons will come that will be necessary to be able to uplift the spirit toward the Dwelling Places of God.
Today I make the Star of the Celestial Brotherhood shine upon My Maternal Bosom because the time has come to elevate the consciousness of plane so that universal life, which will awaken the New Human, may draw closer to human beings.
I thank you for responding to My call!
Who blesses you,
Your Mother Mary, Rose of Peace
With the Light emanated by the Mirrors, your Heavenly Mother can bring toward the planet the governing Principles of the Consciousness of God, and from the Mirrors of Light, pour out these inner attributes into the consciousness of humanity.
With the Light from the Mirrors, your Heavenly Mother can dissolve the opposing forces that impede the awakening of humanity.
With the Light from the Mirrors, your Heavenly Mother can grant a spiritual healing in souls so that afterwards, material healing may occur.
With the Light from the Mirrors, your Heavenly Mother can regenerate the consciousness of humanity and can withdraw it from spiritual illusion, so that hearts may find the Christic path.
With the Light from the Mirrors, your Heavenly Mother can encompass large regions of the planet, and from the most natural and sacred places of Creation in this world, She can help to uplift the consciousness of human beings, so that they may awaken to their inner reality.
With the Light from the Mirrors I can reflect upon the planet all the Love of God, so that souls may feel and perceive that it is time to change, so that the world may change and all of the Earth be redeemed.
I thank you for responding to My call!
Who blesses you,
Your Mother Mary, Rose of Peace
The Fraternity of the Light - Part II
In the wind of the next Spring, will be thrown the seeds of Heaven that, holding gifts, talents and graces within, will sow the New Earth.
These seeds will germinate, and from them will sprout the first principles that will some day lead them to approach the Sun in order to feel from it the Fire of Love of the Universal Father.
The moment has come, after the last storm, for the purifying rain to stop, which refreshed and cleansed the earth so that, afterwards, the great radiance of the Sun of God could come out again.
Thus, the fertile soil of consciousnesses was prepared to receive the new codes.
The Son of God, Jesus Christ, announced the moment of the great spiritual intervention of the Brothers of the Stars.
The Space Gardeners gathered so that, on the plane of the spirit, souls received, for this new cycle, the necessary impulses that will liberate them from indifference and stinginess.
With the awakening of consciousness to the universal life, doors of inner communication were opened in order to remove humanity from spiritual drowsiness and thus lead it to recognize the Truth from which it had distanced itself.
After so many crises, the planet is about to give birth to the New Human, to the consciousness that is responsible and consistent with the designs of the Spiritual Universe.
And although the Earth continues to be purified and exorcized from the influences that oppress it, the servers of the light prepare themselves, finally, to assume and carry out that which, for eras, had been foreseen to happen.
In this sense, the first flashes of the Fraternity of Light begin to appear and the appearances cease to be on the first plane so that the true brotherhood among beings may be established in consciousnesses.
Dear children:
The Three Sacred Hearts are working, more than ever before, in humanity and in its deep consciousness so that some spiritual principles may be maintained intact and protected.
For this reason, more than ever, the Spiritual Hierarchy makes all the necessary efforts to prevent human ignorance itself and the inordinate use of power on Earth from creating those degenerative conditions that will open the door to decadence and the risks that humanity, with no consciousness, will choose as its destiny.
Thus, silently, just like more than two thousand years ago, when this race was at the doorway of its great self-destruction, it was there that the Sacred Hearts gathered together to carry forward this complex mission of again placing the consciousness of humanity in the place it is supposed to be.
In this time, a spiritual mission similar to the previous one is being carried out, except that this time it is not only complex, but also difficult, since the human consciousness learned to destroy itself, as well as learned how to shed its own life, and transgress its society, its culture, and its faith.
At the doorway of the Apocalypse, the Sacred Hearts articulate broad strategies, so that the majority may wake up from the dream and the illusion in which they have placed themselves.
We are facing the challenge of the end times.
I thank you for responding to My call!
Who blesses you,
Your Mother Mary, Rose of Peace
Dear children,
My words are the poetry of Heaven,
My solace is the joy that the heart has to experience God.
My aspiration is the conversion of all hearts.
My message is the realization of the Will in My children.
My joy is the song of the choirs.
My healing is the happiness of those who smile to God.
My path is the return of My Children to the Heart of Christ.
My inner aspiration is that everyone may understand God.
My song is the prayer of all My children.
My life is the life of those who follow My paths.
My principle is the Purpose of God
My goal is the awakening of those who are asleep.
My sadness is the abandonment of those who have not lived the Will of God.
My ardor is the praying fire of My children.
My offering is the love lived among My children.
My hope is the conscious answer of the soldiers of Christ.
My agony is the lack of love, it is hatred among the hearts.
My relief is the rosary offered by My children.
My conviction is the absolute faith in the Divine Plan.
My intercession is the kindness of the meek of heart.
My joy is the consecration of the spouses of Christ.
My peace is when you, My child, dare to say "yes" to me.
I thank you for responding to My call!
Who blesses you,
Your Mother Mary, Rose of Peace
The new humanitarian mission in Colombia, in its spiritual counterpart and also through the Hierarchy, will try to establish peace in the inner worlds of that region of the planet, which for decades has experienced armed conflicts.
In this sense, the Divine Lady of Chiquinquirá will be the Patroness of that mission; She will be the aspect that will spiritually intercede for the entire humanitarian mission and for its first steps.
"Colombia Humanitaria" will be the first mission that, on the inner planes, will work with the various situations of life that have caused that nation, as well as the different peoples of that region, to experience a spiritual numbness.
The humanitarian mission will not only awaken in the Colombians the importance of helping their fellow beings, the one who suffers, the refugee, but also will give an impulse to My children from Colombia so that, on taking on that humanitarian service, they take up their mission and their purpose for these times.
Through the devotion of the Colombian people, the Lady of Chiquinquirá and Mother of Guatavita will be able to intercede for the souls that are escaping from the social and humanitarian crisis of Venezuela.
The fundamental purpose through the Humanitarian Colombia Mission will be that thousands of essences, which are in the nature of refugee consciousnesses, do not lose the codes of love, of trust in God, and especially of faith, even though certain nations, in these times, are being used as a laboratory for improper beneficial interests use of the natural resources and to generate major social crisis with certain non-evolutionary objectives.
The Humanitarian Colombia Mission will carry the impulse of building a consciousness of cooperation and of service, so that love heals the pain.
I thank you for responding to My Call!
Who blesses you,
Your Mother Mary, Rose of Peace
To the Youths of Peace
Dear children,
With joy and gratitude, we offer the youth meeting of today to the Universe, so that new seeds of Light may be sown in all beings that must awaken to a new state of consciousness, as a form of inner preparation for the times that will come.
Each activity that was offered today with enthusiasm has contributed to the spiritual manifestation of this state of consciousness that the present-day humanity needs to acquire for the current times.
For this seventh Youth Festival, the city of Buenos Aires was chosen as the host of the ecumenical youth meeting; the preparation for it, with effort, love, service and dedication, has demonstrated to all youths that it is possible to carry out the Work of the Hierarchy and make it part of your lives in this cycle.
The seventh Youth Festival represents a cycle of maturity, of learnings and of experiences for the pioneering youths that gave the first impulses for the materialization of the Youth Campaign for Peace.
In this sense, the number seven means that all youths have passed by seven cycles and seven schools of learnings, which helped strengthen the commitment of love for the Hierarchy and for humanity.
Today, an internal and spiritual synthesis has happened in the inner world of each collaborating youth of this Work of love, which goes beyond the meetings of peace, of integration, of service, of prayer and of humanitarian missions.
From this seventh Youth Festival for Peace, which has preciously taken place in the city of Buenos Aires, an integration has been established among the youths of different nations, who, together with the Hierarchy, and from this new cycle onwards, will be encouraged to spiritually rebuild the consciousness of the planetary youth by living the new patterns of conduct, of co-existence, of fraternity and of service for humanity and for the Kingdoms of Nature.
The Youth Festivals for Peace represented for the Celestial Hierarchy an opportunity of healing, of renewal and of service for a planet that suffers and agonizes day by day.
The Flower of the Youth Festival for Peace
My dear youths,
Each Festival concreted in this cycle is like a flower that is manifested to praise the Creator.
Now, through the new Festival in Belo Horizonte, your Heavenly Mother can already tell you that you are entering, as consciousnesses, in a time of greater maturity, where each one of the youths responsible for the manifestation of the Festivals will have the opportunity to take on with consciousness this mission and this spiritual task.
Until this moment, the Festivals were precious and hard-working, they were training to learn to take on with responsibility a part of the Plan which is presented to you by the Hierarchy.
For that reason, the Youth Campaign for Peace should continue expanding and it should continue being enlarged in the Festivals that will come.
Thus in the previous times I have delivered to you precious attributes that spiritually will work the consciousness of the coming Festivals. Having present what each new Festival should express, will help deepen in you your creativity and harmony with the essence of each meeting.
Each new Festival will be a goal to reach.
Each effort and the dedication that you place, as you have done lately, will help mature even further your principles and above all your consciousnesses.
The Youth Campaign for Peace, which houses one of its principles that is the Youth Festival for Peace, in this new cycle and after here, Belo Horizonte, should start to work within the universities, colleges and commercial areas so that the greatest number of youths can know the Youth Campaign for Peace.
The praying task of young is contributing for the essence of the youth of the planet to have the Grace of awakening and of protecting the new patterns of conduct that will form the consciousness of the New Humanity.
Thus the participation of the younger ones in the Youth Campaign for Peace will expand the operational field of work and, the most importantly, is that, as brothers and sisters, you will learn to awaken a consciousness of greater love for Nature and for the planet.
As in scrolls of light, God's Designs descend to the world and are delivered to the hands of men, through His Messengers.
The Creator Father told them: "Go and fulfill My Plan, without understanding, without analyzing, without resisting, go and fulfill My Plan with love, with courage, with the gratitude that is born of the spirit and manifests itself in human works and actions."
The Creator, children, invites you, at this time, to manifest a truly fraternal Work renewed by His Spirit, where the sacred can dwell and all souls find their space, their place, unique and irreplaceable.
Contemplate the Will of God for this world, as well as for each being and you will understand that I come in this time to teach you to love and to transform this world of chaos and war.
Beloved children, with the portals open to Heaven, I come to invite you to allow this Celestial Kingdom, still hidden to the human heart today, to manifest itself on Earth.
I come to call you not only to prayer and to the awakening of a superior life that for many is still invisible; I come so that you to may learn to manifest on Earth what you seek in the highest of Heavens, and so that you thus no longer spend your lives seeking something that you will never reach, but so that you may be builders of what humanity is seeking to find, and so that you, children, may be the hands that are extended before the souls so that they may see and feel that what they have so much been looking for is palpable for them.
I come to invite you to be the ones who concretize My Plans, manifesting the superior life, and so that it may not only be spiritual but also palpable and be part of your humanity, and compose the spirit of what man manifests in matter.
In a world of wars, in a world of abysses inside and outside of beings, I come to call you to be the new, and to always be willing to be others, accompanying the flow of transformation of the Universe so that in all stages of the planet souls may find in you what they need.
The Community of Mary
Dear children:
It is with supreme joy that today your Celestial Mother announces the manifestation of Her marian community, which will be integrated within the existing Communities and will welcome all souls that have just taken their first steps towards the consecration to God and to His Divine Plan.
That is the reason why your Celestial Mother will manifest the Community of Mary so that those souls, who have just awakened, can receive the accompaniment and the love they need to continue walking in the concretion of the Plan of the Creator.
This Community will not be different from the other ones and, in its lap of love, it will receive the brothers and sisters who come from the world and that need special care and instructions.
The Community of Mary will be the central heart of your Heavenly Mother, both for the pilgrims and for the first servers, which are born in these times, to the awakening of the spiritual life.
It will be a merciful, simple, orderly and true community.
It will be a community that will accompany and will adapt to the interior and material reality of each being.
Just as your Mother has accepted humanity as Her children, the spiritual Community of Mary, in a compassionate and considerate way, will welcome, with joy and love, the heart of all souls that will be entering the primary service of the Plan of God and the Work of the Divine Messengers.
Children, it is thus that we are already in other times and it will be fundamental to perceive and see the planetary reality; this will help so that the other Communities-of-Light, already founded, can continue responding to the needs of these times and not remain stationary in their own time or understanding.
It is time to open the doors of the heart even more, just as your Mother of Heaven gives you Her Heart, so that you can live in it, all the time.
Association Mary
A Christian and ecumenical religious association for the purpose of disseminating the universal message of love and of peace that Christ Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Joseph transmit to the monks of the Grace Mercy Order, stimulating spiritual growth through prayer and altruistic service.

A Look Back at Season 39 - How Vikingos Nómadas Clinched Their First RTS League Title
This season of [You must login to view link] was special - it was a season of firsts for both clans that made it all the way to the last fight of the Playoffs. One of them reached the Grand Finals for the first time in their history, the other claimed the prestigious Golden Banner for the first time in their history. And both deserve all the accolades for their achievements - it's no small feat to top all the community and become the two best clans of them all!
Season 39 yet again served as a proven way for clans and players of all skill levels to have fun in a proper competitive setting, with all the service such as live streams and social media exposure coming with it - we're glad we can show your heroic efforts to not only your clanmates who regularly populate our streams, but also to the whole wide world that can learn a thing or two from your special strategies prepared for your home maps - we have seen a marked increase in such games this past season, and that's a great thing to witness, as it means you're embracing what RTS League stands for, which is supporting the clan spirit and working together as a true team to make your time with Age of Empires even better and much more fun.
The tight battles for supremacy took a bit (well, let's face it, a lot :d) longer than anticipated due to Christmas messing with things, but nonetheless, we saw a ton of good or downwight great games and matches, and everyone could've found their favourites to cheer for amongst the multitude of clans involved. Plenty of them featured the very top experts you see regularly competing for big money prizes, or even players who are recognised community personas and skillers, but with limited time, they prefer to compete with their friends and us rather than anywhere else - Edie, FeAge, Janik, MbL, Millo, slam, Vinchester are just some of the names who find it fun to play for the prestigious RTS League banners, and it's awesome to have them here and give the very rare opportunity to play against them even to players who wouldn't otherwise get the chance - due to our community-friendly format, everyone gets a chance to play against literally anyone
Let's now have a quick look at how everything in Season 39 went along:
Group Stage
All four divisions included some heavy favourites for the Gold, and all four saw some very intriguing or unusual games. LeO's surprising success against FOX Gaming or Birras y Tapas' tense battle with Berserkers were some of the highlights of the mentioned strategy preparation, while New Chapter against Rulers of Rome with Run Forrest Run facing The Jedi Masters Z were of the expected top level quality. After quite some time we even saw Michi played by THERI in the very first match versus The New Hellhunters, but that was hardly the only occurence of non-standard maps this season - clans really are using the opportunity to prepare and play truly on their home turf, just like Villains did with Soul
Out of all the 27 participants, only CZ Clan managed to score a perfect record, and, quite frankly, you wouldn't expect any less from the Defending Champions and a clan that has a record of 3 Golds and 1 Silver of the past 4 seasons. This positioned them first going into the Playoffs, but no easy job expected them there, as all the other favourites passed as well, complemented by some well deserved advancees such as Clan Colombia and BlackForest crowning their good seasons with getting to show us more of their skills in the elimination round.
One more noteworthy clan advanced through as well though, and that was LeO - at the start of the season, possibly nobody would've guessed they had it in them, but as soon as they caught off guard FOX in the first round with their strat, they started gaining traction and it resulted in a great achievement for them, passing the bar for the big boys and for the first time tasting the thrill of Playoffs.

The next stage was down to the best of the best, and it was, of course, showing - we saw no surprises in the Round of 16, which meant the top 8 featured pretty much the clans you would expect at the start of the season - but that doesn't mean group stage would be just for fun (as if there was something wrong with that :d), these first-stage fights decided who's going to be battling whom when the time comes, and it has just come.
The biggest Quarterfinal battle took place amongst Run Forrest Run and Berserkers, which took all five games to decide - such close encounter it was, and it was also that good, as with the clans' line-ups, you couldn't expect anything less. Another real intriguing match-up was then between always-with-a-banner New Chapter and veteran Vikingos Nómadas - the Spanish-Mexican mix is a clan that possesses many a talent, but lately they had troubles turning that into a success, as opposed to exactly the German equipe - in Season 39 though, they put a lot of effort into preparing for their match-ups, and it paid of royally, resulting in their, quite frankly, surprising, yet convincing victory over one of the top team game clans in AoC, even though nC confirmed their skill in a curiously short Black Forest.
VN's run continued also in the Semis where they handily dispatched Berserkers, supporting their strong performances and securing only their second Grand Finals in history, while their opponents came from a very expected match-up featuring the OP (as in "overpowered" :d) CZ Clan and strong Nomad players The Jedi Masters Z. Due to all kinds of scheduling issues, the match unusually ended up as a 2v2, but that didn't mean any less fun, as we still saw a nail-biter with close games and cool plays. CZ were undoubtedly the top favourites for the Title, but TheJedi performed amazingly well and especially the fifth battle was a rare one with a brave cheeky strat that simply worked out, and an unexpected final duo was therefore born.

Grand Finals
Vikingos Nómadas. The Jedi Masters Z. Two Finalists probably no one would've guessed just a few months ago. And yet, it happened, and it was damn well deserved.
The last battle of the season started on pre-set Double Migration, which is an unusual map where you start with two TCs - RTS League Playoffs are a high-level affair, and we need to test the clans' skills properly to determine who deserves the prestigious Banners VN yet again proved they took this season very seriously and their strategical preparation yielded the much-needed results, as even though TheJedi for a long time looked like they could actually pull things off with their good main island control, when everyone was finally camped there, the tactics kicked in and almost double the eco with double the Huns prevailed.
We continued with TheJedi's home map, which couldn't have been anything else but Nomad. The undoubted skillz the Aussies (plus a few guys around the world :d) possess on this tricky map are just amazing, and yet again resulted in a funny economical advantage that can usually carry them right down to the victory lane. This time, however, with a bit of luck on the map spawn VN used perfectly, their opponents were able to withstand the oft-crushing initial push and sell their abilities in a controlled defense until they had enough to go for the kill.
With VN's home map coming up, TheJedi were in trouble, as overcoming 0-2 against such a top-level foe is not a small mountain to climb. The battlefield of choice were Islands, a water map where the leading team felt comfortable, and decided, after another careful strategical preparation, to unleash a very unusual and daring gameplan - an early landing. What a surprise it must've been when they learnt TheJedi had the exact same idea. Literally. The same exact idea on a map where everyone just Galley Rushes or Fast Castles. And the two players executing it were poised against each other, therefore landing each other. Wow. What are the odds, right? :d Well, as you would expect, it pretty much resulted into better execution and also a bit of skill in scouting deciding the match-up, and so, after a long season and exceptional performances along the way, the Champions of RTS League's Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Clan League, Season 39 are:

Bronze Banner Battle
CZ Clan, who've been ruling over RTS League almost completely for the past few years, were in a position they're not really accustomed to at the end of the season - having to win to have a new Banner to their vitrine. On the other hand, Berserkers reached a stage they haven't reached before - this was their first opportunity ever to claim a prestigious Banner for their impressive team game efforts. This combination of influences promised a thrilling battle with both clans giving it their very best to succeed, and who saw the live stream, you remember how heroic were Vinchester's efforts on all the maps, looking like they could, together with the indispensable contribution of his teammates, secure the win for their side (well, the third game played out pretty funny for him :d). However, CZ were in no mood for any surprise, and even though they truly had to work for it, they did not falter and after some good plays claimed yet another banner to their name:

In SL Claimants v Tesco plc [2019] EWHC 3315 (Ch), the High Court has held that a solicitor's attendance note did not lose privilege despite the note being disclosed to the SFO and then referred to in open court. The SL Claimants sought to obtain an order for specific disclosure of an attendance note taken at a meeting between a senior in-house lawyer at Tesco and their solicitors, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP. Tesco refused consent to disclosure of the document and instead asserted that legal professional privilege continued to exist over the note despite the fact that references to information contained therein had been made in open court.
Orders for disclosure
The SL Claimants argued that the note had been publicly disclosed during the course of a related set of criminal proceedings, and confidentiality and privilege had therefore been waived on the note in its entirety.
During the related criminal proceedings, several extracts from the note - including the first 3 pages in full - were either read out, paraphrased or reviewed by the judge.
Consequently, the SL Claimants argued that the threshold for determining when privilege to a document elapses had been met when the note was discussed in open court in the related proceedings. Accordingly, they submitted that the note was now no longer confidential and that disclosure of it should be ordered as a relevant document in these proceedings.
There was no argument in relation to waiver of privilege as Tesco had not sought to rely on the document, and the only question was therefore whether privilege had been lost by the document ceasing to be confidential. The relevant test for identifying when confidentiality over a document is lost was applied by Hildyard J in considering this application. A document can "destroy its confidentiality" in two ways1. Specifically this occurs if:
- Sufficient publicity is given to the contents of the relevant document so that the information contained cannot be regarded as confidential2; or
- the document is referred to publicly so as to engage the principle of 'open justice' whereby the full document must be disclosed to enable the public to understand the judicial determination of the case3.
The extent to which the publicity given to a specific document will destroy its confidentiality is a question of "fact and degree" which the court will assess on a case-by-case basis having regard to the importance of public policy considerations. The court is concerned with providing transparent access to justice for the public through the disclosure of the information considered by the court when determining cases. The importance of these considerations was recently stressed by the UK Supreme Court4.
Distinction between a document and the information contained therein
Hildyard J also considered the distinction between a document itself and its contents when considering issues of confidentiality and privilege. He agreed with the arguments advanced on behalf of Tesco that a document could be partially disclosed causing only the disclosed information to lose privilege whilst the document as a whole retained privilege.
It was found that references to, and the judge's reading of, the notes in the criminal proceedings did not require the disclosure of the entirety of the notes to enable the public to understand the decision that was made by the criminal court as the note was not significant enough in informing the judge's decision on the matter before him5. Therefore, the continuation of privilege over the relevant document did not infringe the principle of open justice and disclosure was not required.
The judgment in SL Claimants v Tesco plc serves as an important reminder of the extent that privileged documents will remain confidential when referred to in part in open court, or where they are otherwise partially publicly disclosed. This decision should provide comfort to in-house counsel when documenting privileged conversations as the court will be reluctant to order disclosure of a privileged document in its entirety unless 1) substantially the whole of the relevant part of the document has been made public, or 2) disclosure is truly necessary to enable the public to understand the reasons for the Court's determination. Accordingly, the threshold for the disclosure of privileged material will be relatively high.

2 Serdar Mohammed v Ministry of Defence [2013] EWHC 4478 (QB)
3 Gotha City v Sotheby's and Another [1998] 1 WLR 114

If you're throwing a springtime wedding, check out this design from online stationer, Minted. Your names are digitally printed in a lovely calligraphed script (this font is one of our all-time favorites!) and surrounded by a romantic wreath of flowers and leaves. We especially love the subtle striped backdrop. It adds a touch of preppiness to a very elegant design. We think this is the perfect choice if you're hosting an outdoor wedding, maybe at a botanical garden or a historic estate.

A Hand-Painted Save-The-Date
If you're looking for completely one-of-a-kind wedding stationery, consider the beautiful hand-illustrated designs by Jolly Edition. Husband-and-wife team, Laura and Tom, are the duo behind Jolly Edition. The artistic couple met in New York City before moving to Cambridge, England, where they are currently based.
Each piece of stationery, like the lovely spring-themed save-the-date pictured above, is entirely drawn and painted from scratch. To get to know your love story and understand your wedding's aesthetic, Laura and Tom often hold video conference calls with couples over Skype to brainstorm ideas and designs. We love the warm, vintage feel of this one, and we're sure every wedding guest would be compelled to mark his or her calendar for the romantic wedding that's sure to come.
"Spring Floral" save-the-date, $550 for 100, Jolly Edition*
A Bright, Colorful Floral Save-The-Date
If you're on a tight stationery budget, it's a good idea to consider one of the myriad stationers offering designs as a print-ready PDF. More and more online companies are offering this service, and it's a very wallet-friendly option if you're willing to roll up your sleeves and print your invites at home. How it usually works: after you choose a design, the stationer will customize the text with your wedding information, then email you a proof. Upon approval, you'll be emailed a print-ready file (usually a PDF), along with paper/cardstock guidelines. Then, you take the PDF and print the stationery directly from your home computer and printer.
This design—by one of our favorite online stationers, Up Up Creative, costs just $40 for the print-ready file (you need to purchase your own cardstock separately). The design was inspired by old book covers but is spiced up with bold, bright colors and modern type. If you're pressed for time and would rather have Up Up Creative print it for you, the price is $1 per save-the-date (includes envelopes).

For a modern take on a spring save-the-date, we love this black-and-white option by stationer Love vs. Design.

A Bold Floral Save-The-Date
If you're as partial to bold florals as we are, you'll appreciate this design by Smitten on Paper. Black-centered flowers (they're sort of anemone-like, or maybe they're poppies?) are front and center, but the best part is that the card is actually double-sided. The backside can be printed with a full-bleed photograph, making it ideal for showing off your engagement photos or a favorite snapshot from a recent vacation.
"Southern Peach" save-the-date, $158 for 100, Smitten on Paper

"Garden Party" save-the-date, $24 for a print-ready PDF, E.M. Papers
A Yellow Floral Save-The-Date
For spring weddings, we love this sweet design by Jennifer Wick for Minted—it's like a vintage handkerchief. The wreath of flowers and fruit encircling the couple's names is so pretty, and the splashes of lemon yellow would nicely complement an outdoor reception at a farm or fruit orchard, or even in someone's backyard.
"Summer Celandine" save-the-date, $136 for 100, Jennifer Wick for Minted
A Spring Terrarium Save-The-Date
We're obsessed with terrariums, which means we pretty much flipped out when we saw this whimsical save-the-date by Oregon-based stationer Quill & Fox. The hand-painted design features an illustrated glass cloche filled with moss and springtime blooms growing inside, paired with a chalkboard sign sweetly announcing the couple's wedding date and location. Proprietor Yas Imamura, together with her husband, Andrew, set up their small stationery studio two years ago, and we're a big fan of their wonderfully creative work.
Custom design, price upon request, Quill & Fox
A Botanical Save-The-Date
If you're looking for a spring save-the-date that's equal parts elegant and whimsical, check out this design from Paperless Post. Available in a printed card as well as an electronically mailed version, it has a wonderful botanical quality and reminds us of vintage specimen prints. We love the pairing of very minimalist fonts; the combination feels perfectly balanced and fresh. It's the perfect save-the-date for a wedding held at a botanical garden or floral/garden shop like Terrain (located in Pennsylvania and Connecticut).
"Willowmarsh" save-the-date, $115 for 100, Paperless Post

Since the invention of chainsaws, they've grown in popularity among wood workers and non-wood workers. These days, even households own small chainsaws for a few family-specific tasks that need it. The tough old days when wood workers need to sweat it out with their axes and cutlasses cutting through the core of trees for hours and sometimes days is gone. Today, with a chainsaw, you can fell a tree of cut logs to your desired sizes in just a short while.
When felling trees, however, you need to be prepared for the unexpected. The more prepared you are, the better for you. In fact, sufficient preparation might just be the key to getting the job done effectively. Here, let's look at a few tools and accessories that you need to own while using your chainsaw. Bear in mind that they are so many that we might not be able to exhaust all. AbleOaks.com will try to cover the basic and most popular ones in this article – Take a look:
- Logger Belt: As the name signifies, this is a complete tool belt for every logger. It is flexible for use with different other tools like lifting hook, axe, wedges, measuring tapes, and first aid kit.
- Filling Equipment and Vice: Most times while mentioning important tools every chainsaw owner should own, it us easy to overlook the filing equipment and vice, but these tools are very important and might save your say. Especially when you need to reshape the wood.
- Felling Tools: How do you mention these stuff without including the breaking bars and wedges, knowing how important they are. These breaking bars and wedges come in different sizes and you should go to the field with the different sizes. A turning strap should be available too, because it is useful when you accidentally fell a tree against another tree. Sometimes, when the felling seems difficult and sensitive, tools like the rope, winch and pulley comes into play. These tools will not only help you fell the tree, but the will also add direction to it.
- Lifting Hook and Lifting Tongs: You need to lift and turn the logs after felling and this is where the importance of these tools come into play. As the names signify, lifting tongs are used basically for lifting smaller logs and pieces of woods off their location to a waiting vehicle or to another close location. Please note that it is important to ensure that the tongs and hook are pointed and sharp to ensure easy and great grip of the logs.
- Axe: Yes, the invention of chainsaws have reduced the need for axes, but that doesn't mean that they are not completely needed. Make use of the axe for removing the tree bark, sand and soil that might have accumulated on the log. This will help reduce wear on the chain and on the guide var. You can also make use of the axe for knocking the felling wedges.
- Extra Cutting Equipment: You will need to carry an extra chain and guide bar, especially if you are going into the field. Going with these will help you not to stop work at any point where the chain or the bar gets damaged. Simply pick the extra you've gone with to replace.
- Clippers: this is a practical tool for measuring the diameter of wood. Getting them would help you get the right measurement for each cut.
- Spare Parts: We all know how important spare parts can be, especially if you are working in areas that are pretty remote. It's a good idea to go along with am assortment of basic spare parts to keep your chainsaw running.
The above mentioned are some of the most basic tools needed for tree feeling. As you purchase your chainsaw, it is quite important to get them with these tools, since their present

Variations on the same theme: Environmental objectives of the Water Framework Directive in environmental permitting in the Nordic countries
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
The Court of Justice of the European Union's (CJEU) interpretations on the normativity of the Water Framework Directive's (WFD) environmental objectives and derogation for new, important activities clarified certain long‐standing discussions on these matters in the Nordic countries. The WFD's legal narrative formally changed from a planning framework for gradual improvement of water quality in the European Union to one of legally binding character for the environmental objectives. This simultaneously increased the interest for the circumstances under which a derogation from the environmental objectives is applicable for certain new activities. Both of these matters are integrally connected to the authorization of activities under national environmental permitting legislation. This article explores how and to what extent the WFD's environmental objectives are given legal effect in national environmental permitting in Sweden, Finland and Denmark. Although the Nordic countries have chosen different approaches when implementing the WFD, they have all largely kept these legal frameworks separate; legislation establishing a system of river basin management planning pursuant to the WFD on the one hand, and environmental permitting legislation on the other. The article points out certain crucial questions on the reconciliation of these legal frameworks and the development of national legislation as triggered by the CJEU case law. Regarding the provisions implementing the possibility to derogate for new and important activities, the article discusses certain lacking and flawed legal linkages between river basin management planning and environmental permitting in the three countries.

Winter tires vs All season tires - A Comparison
The winter tires versus all season tires debate has been hotly contested for decades. While both types of tires have their advantages and disadvantages, how can a driver decide which solution is best for their situation?
Winter presents some of the harshest and most challenging weather conditions a motorist will ever face. Cold temperatures, packed snow and ice reduce traction and increase stopping distances, while blowing snow can lower visibility to almost zero. Winter driving requires special attention and the ability to adapt to weather and road conditions that can change in a matter of moments.
Naturally, not everyone lives in such a harsh climate. In many parts of the world, the worst parts of a winter can be summed up as cold snaps and occasional dustings of light snow. If this is the case in your area, all season tires could be your best choice. Designed to provide a balance between dry pavement, warm weather performance and cold weather traction, all season tires are perfect for most driving conditions. While not possessing the stickier rubber compounds of high performance tires, nor the sub-zero safety of winter tires, all seasons are a compromise. They allow for a good wearing tire that will provide a reasonable level of safety in inclement winter conditions. A further benefit of all season tires is that your tire costs are cut in half, as you only need to buy one set of tires per vehicle.
If you happen to dwell where temperatures regularly drop below freezing, however, all season tires are no longer a safe option. The rubber compound in all season tires is not designed to be operated at temperatures that are regularly below the freezing point - it becomes hard and stiff and no longer possesses adequate traction on either tarmac or snow and ice. It is in these conditions that winter tires shine. Specially formulated rubber allows winter tires to remain supple and grip into ice and frozen pavement. Winter tires also possess a much more aggressive tread pattern that cuts into packed snow.
As with any specialized tire, there are of course, trade offs. One noticeable difference between winter tires and all seasons are slightly rougher ride and a persistent loud hum at highway speeds on dry pavement for the former. It is also expensive to purchase a second set of tires for your vehicle that only see use for part of the year - winter tires cannot be used all year or the special rubber compounds harden and wear down, rendering them useless in colder weather.
While the expense of outfitting your vehicle for winter might at first make you want to settle for the compromise of all season tires, it's important to remember that safety shouldn't take second place to economy. If you live in an area that is hit hard by winter weather and truly do require the special capabilities of winter tires, it is important to equip your car or truck with them. And you can always look on the bright side - having 2 different sets of tires for your car means that they will each last 'twice' as long.

My Next Post Will be from the Other Side, An Open Letter to My Readers
Dear Visitor,
By the time you read this, I may be dead.
Oh, there are many reasons I may be dead. For example, God may smite me for my active distaste for his messengers and angels.
For example, I can't even stand the look of this guy. I think this guy's a murderer. I think this guy's a charlatan, and I think this guy's disgusting.
Why do I think he's disgusting? Well, because he once said:
"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good ... if a Christian voted for Clinton, he sinned against God. It's that simple. Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a biblical duty; we are called by God to conquer this country..."
I don't like this insider-trading, M.D..
I don't like this moron.
I don't like this crook (although, to be fair, I'm not sure he's a God squad guy – he may align himself with the devil if the K-Street money was right. Unlike this evil overlord who uses God for political gain – he's the opiate dopeman…smoke up!).
But I really like this guy. So clearly I'm not on the right team.
And those others are the God squad (just ask 'em), so I may be smote for not following their every word. If I am dead, and there is a Christian Coalition/Moral Majority/Operation Rescue/700 Club/Pro-life-pro-death-penalty-pro-Iraq-war pamphlet in my pocket, then God struck me down.
I may also be dead for eating a cherry tomato and spraying tomato guts on my laptop keyboard. If you find me dead, and there is a note in my pocket which reads "it's not your computer, it's Wernham Hogg's computer!" then it was our Network Administrator who done me in.
But mainly I may be dead because I made a fatal error. Yesterday I was drinking water out of a 22 ounce plastic cup that I keep on my desk. The problem is: I didn't add the water yesterday. I added it some day (or two or three) before yesterday (I really have no idea when). The water tasted fine, but it was room temperature. When I got to the bottom of the cup, having enjoyed 10 ounces or so, there was a cloudy white mass floating in the water…it looked like a pea-sized piece of ice, only flattened.
I saw it just before I took it in – right to my belly. And it weren't no ice. I'm pretty sure it was a nice blobby mass of bacteria or germs or anthrax or sputum or iocane powder.
So anyway, it was nice knowing you, and we'll see you on the next lap (see what I mean that reincarnation thing is going to get me smote),

Whether you find yourself or a relative dealing with asthma, it is definitely a trying and scary experience. Know all that you can about your asthma so that you know what to expect in all situations. These tips should be helpful to you in figuring out what to expect from your asthma and when.
Can you identify the exact type of asthma you're dealing with? If you identify your specific causes, you can be prepared to treat the symptoms when they appear during your daily routines. If people who have asthma suffer attacks triggered by exercise, they should bring an inhaler with them when they work out. You can avoid a crisis by knowing your symptoms' patterns.
Certain prescription medications have the potential to cause asthma symptoms. Among these medications are aspirin and other NSAIDs. There are some beta blockers that are given to those trying to control their heart disease or who have high blood pressure that may be harmful to an asthmatic, as well. Make sure your physician is aware of all of your chronic conditions and any medications you are on so they can treat your asthma appropriately.
If you are having an attack that is not severe, push as much air out of the lungs as possible. Exhale quickly and hard. Try hard to push the air out from your lungs! Breathe in by taking three quick breaths, followed by one very deep breath. Doing this will fill your lungs completely, and allow you to expel the air forcefully again. This gives your breathing a rhythm and makes you focus on your breathing. It also expels air from your lungs so more can enter. Do not be alarmed if you cough or generate excess mucous; this is perfectly normal. Your only concern is to return your breathing to normal.
Avoid using a fan in any room that has excessive dust. The wind will move dust around and get into your airways causing an attack. Open a window instead to get the air flowing.
If you have asthma, it might be helpful for you to buy a dehumidifier. By decreasing the humidity you have in your home, it will decrease the dust mites, which will then decrease your asthma from flaring up. Dehumidifiers cause the air in your home to become dry, which means less humidity.
Stay away from cigarette smoke, even if it's secondhand. When you inhale tobacco smoke, the lung's function can be decreased, and you will increase the chance you have an asthma attack. Smaller areas without proper ventilation make you even more susceptible to an attack.
Make sure you get a flu shot once a year if you suffer from asthma. Getting vaccinated yearly can help keep many of these illnesses at bay.
If you are asthmatic, it may be a good idea to use a pillow that is not filled with feathers. Pillow feathers force the lungs to work harder and can exacerbate asthma problems. Your other bedding, such as sheets, blankets and comforters, should be hypoallergenic, too.
When you are traveling, make sure you have a rescue inhaler with you. Traveling can make you more likely to suffer from attacks due to the extra strain and stress on your body. Influencing the environment around you is nearly impossible while on the road, which is another opportunity for deteriorating symptoms or attack triggers.
Many of the most common asthma triggers are found in the home. These causes can include dust, spores and mold. To ensure health and reduce the potential for asthma attacks, have a yearly inspection for the presence and removal of these hazards. On top of that, doing housecleaning regularly can prevent build up of these particles.
If the air in your home is humid, it provides an ideal incubator for mold or mildew. Mold and mildew can easily cause severe asthma attacks. It is best if you keep the air in your home as dry as possible. A dehumidifier can be used in the winter, and in the summer, many air conditioner models also help strip moisture from the air.
Avoid cold-induced asthma attacks by protecting your mouth and nose with a scarf. This will warm the air before it gets in your lungs. Breathing in cold air tends to start asthma attacks, especially with younger children that have severe or moderate asthma.
Know the right way to use any asthma medication you are taking, in particular your rescue medication. Typical asthma treatment includes regular medicine supplemented by a rescue inhaler. Because you will have asthma for the rest of your life, it is important that you take your maintenance medication properly, and that you use your emergency medication correctly.
Asthma typically develops over a long time, and sometimes the symptoms aren't very obvious. People can even die from their very first asthma attack as they're not prepared for it! Always consult with a doctor to see if a persistent cough or difficulty breathing is a sign that you require treatment for asthma. There may even be things you can do to prevent it from getting worse.
You may want to consider having numerous doctors treat your asthma. While your asthma treatment should start with your primary care doctor, visiting one or two asthma specialists can make a real difference in how well you understand and manage your condition. Pulmonologists, allergists, asthma centers and also nutritionists can assist you in exploring every avenue of treatment for your asthma.
If you have asthma, don't smoke. Most people know how dangerous smoking is, but for someone afflicted with asthma, the dangers are ten times more serious. Smoke irritates the lungs of an asthma sufferer, so avoid the presence of people who smoke if you have asthma.
As the article mentioned previously, it is important to know as much about asthma as possible. This article contains just a sampling of hints that are helpful for managing asthma, or to help a friend or family member with the disease. With the sound advice above, you can work with your doctor to create a plan that is right for you.

Today the US Justice Department announced that the largest dark web marketplace, AlphaBay, has been shut down following an international law enforcement investigation.
The AlphaBay site was widely used by criminals to trade in illicit items such as drugs, weapons, malware and stolen data. It was the 'go site' for cyber criminals to trade stolen data and malware.
Around the time of takedown, there were over 100,000 listings on AlphaBay for stolen and fraudulent identification documents and access devices, counterfeit goods, malware and other computer hacking tools, firearms and fraudulent services.
The AlphaBay shut down coincides with the successful take down of the Hansa Market by Dutch law enforcement. Like AlphaBay, Hansa Market was used to facilitate the sale of illegal drugs, toxic chemicals, malware, counterfeit identification documents, and illegal services.
Both marketplaces operated in the dark web, only accessible via the "Tor" network, and using cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum in order to hide the locations of its underlying servers and the identities of those administering and using the site.
While this is great news for the fight against cyber crime undoubtedly new services will simply pop up to replace them.
