Jai Maa Vaishnavi
Darshani Darwaaza
As per the legend, Mata Vaishno Devi met Pandit Shridhar in the form of a girl child at the spot which is today known as the Darshani Darwaza. This spot is also known because Darshani Darwaaza because from here one gets a complete view of Trikuta Mountain.
Terk To Maa Vaishno Devi Bhawan
Holy Track: Old Track
In the earlier days, there used to be an unpaved track and a few flights of stairs that used to lead the way to Bhawan. This track called the old or original track was mostly built on the traditional track of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Ji, which had been used by the pilgrims since hundreds of years. Then, after the takeover of the management of the Holy Shrine by Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board in 1986.
Holy Track: New or Alternate Track
The old track is steep and narrow at some places. Therefore it was decided to construct an alternate track to Bhawan that would have a gentler gradient and would be wider and shorter.
Ban Ganga
Situated on the bank of a small rivulet called Banganga and at a height of 2700 ft., Banganga is the first major station for a yatri when he undertakes his on-foot journey from Katra to Bhawan. As per the legend, the goddess, accompanied by Langoor-Veer was moving to her destined abode in the Trikuta Hills, when Langoor-veer felt thirsty. The goddess shot an arrow into the ground and a spring gushed out.
Charan Paduka
The ancient temple of Charun Paduka, situated at a distance of nearly one Km from Banganga, is also connected to the legend of goddess Vaishno Devi. As per the Legend, the goddess stopped at this place for a while to look back and check whether Bhairon Nath was still chasing her or not. Due to Her standing there for a while, her footprints got engraved there, hence the name.
Adhkuwari
The word Adhkuwari means Eternal virgin. At this place the Goddess is believed to have worshiped Lord Shiva in a cave for 9 months and when Bhairo Nath discovered her inside the cave She made an opening in the cave with her trident and proceeded towards Bhawan. Adkuwari also marks the midpoint of the Yatra and most pilgims like to rest here for a while and refresh themselves.
Himkoti
Himkoti is situated at a distance of 2.75 kms from Adkuwari on the new track. Himkoti is one of the most beautiful spots on this track with breathtaking scenic views of the entire valley. Although there is no traditional or religious significance associated with this point, yet the very nature of this spot and its natural splendour envelops the pilgrims in a ethereal and mysterious charm. Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has developed a view point, restaurant and a dosa counter here. Packed and cooked food including meals, hot and cold beverages and other important items including medicare and oxygen cylinders, cassettes are available here. There is adequate place to rest and relax and also enjoy the beauty of nature. Himkoti is being developed something more than a view point, with an artificial pond, a garden and a meditation centre.
Sanjhichhat
Sanjhichhat is the highest point for the pilgrims on their trek to the Holy Bhawan. The place is situated at a height of about 6,200 feet above the sea level, and presents a panoramic view of the landscape below. The final destination is about 2 km. away from this point.The Helipad is also located at this point.
Maa Vaishno Devi Temple
Reached Maa Ke Bhawan
The Holy Bhawan houses the Sanctum Sanctorum – the Holy cave which is the ultimate destination of the yatries. Inside the Holy Cave the Goddess has revealed herself in the form of Holy Pindies manifesting Mata in her three forms Maha Kali, Maha Lakshmi and Mata Saraswati.
Obtaining a Group Number
Yatries would recollect that prior to the commencement of their yatra, they had obtained a Yatra Registration Slip or Parchi from the Yatra Registration Counter (YRC) located at Katra. This slip had been checked and stamped at Banganga. The most important role of the slip is at Bhawan, where the slip is revalidated and used to issue a group number. The group number is allotted at the Yatra Slip Counter located on the left hand side immediately after the luggage check post. This group number would then determine the sequence in which the yatries would have the Holy Darshan and the time for which they would have to wait before obtaining Darshans.
Facilities available at Bhawan
The Shrine Board has provided various facilities for the yatries at Bhawan, to facilitate comfortable Darshans.
Preparing for Darshans
Most pilgrims prefer to take a bath before proceeding for Darshans. In the olden days pilgrims used to take a bath at the Bathing Ghat, with the water that flows from the feet of Mata. With the passage of time, and particularly after the vesting of the management in the Shrine Board, new Bathing ghats and many toilets and bathrooms have been constructed. Attempts have been made to channelise the water from the Holy Cave to all these new Bathing areas, so that irrespective of where the pilgrim takes a bath, he receives the cleansing effect of the Holy Water.
Waiting in Queue
Immediately after a pilgrim's group number is called or displayed, he/she is ushered in through Gate No.1 into the queue complex. The queue complex is a long corridor which opens first into two large waiting halls, one after the other and finally opens at the mouth of the Holy Cave.
Coconut Prasad Counter
The traditional offering to the Goddess invariably comprises a coconut. However for reasons of time and security, coconut offerings are not allowed to be carried by the pilgrims beyond a designated point.
Shri Mata Vaishno Holy Shrine Cave
The Original Cave & New Tunnel
While on the way to the Sanctum Sanctorum, one crosses a small patio type of structure on the right hand side of which is a Cave opening. This is the original Cave leading to the Holy Pindies. In the olden days, the yatries used to reach the Sanctum Sanctorum through this cave only. Nowadays, this cave is kept closed for a large part of the year. Since this cave is quite narrow, it takes several minutes for a single person to cross it and reach the Sanctum Sanctorum.
The ornamentation of the Holy Pindies was done gradually over a period of time since the discovery of the Holy Shrine. Various devotees offered jewelry, crowns, Chhatras, idols etc, for the ornamentation of the Holy Pindies. The same ornamentation continued all these years and everything was kept practically untouched. Various idols and statues donated by the Kings and placed in the Sanctum Sanctorum were also visible immediately behind the Pindies.
Amrit Kund & Charan Ganga
Just outside the exit tunnel, towards the left hand side of the Cave is the Amrit Kund. This comprises the water taps through which flows the water of the Charan Ganga, the sacred water flowing from the feet of Mata. Pilgrims prefer to fill the Holy Water called Charanamrit in bottles and take it along with them for purification of their residences and cure of various ailments.
Outside the exit tunnel and just beyond the Amrit Kund lies the Prashad counter. The blessings of the Mother Goddess in the form of Prashad pouches are handed over to the devotees by the temple priests. Each Prashad pouch comprises the Mishri Prashad plus a blessed coin, carrying the image of the Holy Pindies. In addition, Khazaana (coins) are given to the devotees. This Khazaana Prashad is believed to be a good luck coin(s) and devotees would do well to keep it in their cash boxes, temples or other important places in their homes or establishments.
Coconut Reclaim Counter
Yatries would recollect that Coconut Prashad had been handed over by them to the temple priests in the Waiting Hall and a token had been received in lieu of it. This token is now exchange for the blessed coconut at the Coconut Prashad counter. This counter is located on the right of the exit route.
Other Darshans Inside Cave
The Holy Cave is around 98 feet long. Besides the main Darshans of the Pindies inside the Cave, there are various other Darshans, outside and inside the Holy Cave and around the Holy Pindies. It is believed that the Darshans of 33 crore (330 million) Gods and Goddesses are present in the Holy Cave. It is believed that at some given point of time, each of the 330 million gods and goddesses have worshipped the Mother Goddess in the Holy Cave and have left their symbolical marks inside.
Other Darshans at Bhawan
There are other Darshans in the Bhawan area as well. These include Darshans of Lord Shiva's Shivling in a cave, Mata Durga, Lord Shiv, Shri Ram with Sita and Lakshman, Lord Hanuman etc. These Darshans are in temples situated at different point of the Bhawan complex. Signboards have been put up at Bhawan to guide the yatries as to the location of these temples.
Bhairon Ghati
Bhairon temple is the next halt for the pilgrims after visiting the holy Shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi Ji. This old temple is significant from the point of view of a holy legend associated with the Shrine. After beheading Bhairon Nath and after his profuse repentance, the Almighty Mother Goddess forgave and blessed him and granted him the boon that the Darshans of his temple would be the final link of Her Great Pilgrimage. Thus, for the full blessings of the journey to Mata Vaisno Deviji, Yatries would have to pay obedience at Bhairon temple on their return.

1. Tell us a bit about yourself and your business.
I'm Steph, I'm married to Doug and we have three kids - Buster, Mabel and Frank. I started Don't Buy Her Flowers in 2014 selling thoughtful gift packages. The idea came when I had my first baby and received 8 bunches of flowers - they were lovely but I was so overwhelmed and exhausted and it struck me as bizarre that the go-to gift was another thing to care for.
We started as gifts for new mums but very quickly our customers were asking to send packages for other reasons - there are so many occasions when someone could do with some TLC and people want to create something more personal that shows someone they've really thought about them. The idea is that our gifts encourage the recipient to have a sit down and take a bit of time for themselves, whether that's with a good book and a G&T, enjoying a hot cup of tea or locking themselves in the bathroom for a full head to toe recovery session.
We're about to launch a new package that is all about unwinding - whether someone is sending a package to a new mum, a birthday, someone who has been bereaved or someone who is just having a bad week, we're all pretty overwhelmed and someone saying 'here, look after yourself' is so powerful. That person is acknowledging you might need some looking after and I had totally underestimated how powerful that is. I ran the business from home for two years, and now we have a warehouse in Gloucestershire, where I'm from, and a growing team. Which feels bloody great. I'm really excited about our next phase.
2. What is your most embarrassing parenting moment?
Three kids in, I don't think I get that embarrassed anymore! I'm more likely to feel flustered - I had one of those moments the other day where I'd loaded the pram like Buckeroo and when I took a crying Frank out his foot got stuck and it tipped up and stuff was rolling across the floor... those moments would have killed me with my first but now I'm generally ok. I like to look for the pair of knowing eyes who will give you a 'yeah, we've all been there' look. Some days I can handle it, sometimes an accidental kick in the shins from one of the kids will leave me in tears but that's more down to feeling overwhelmed than embarrassed!
3. How do you juggle your business with being a Mum to three?
Hmm... sometimes I feel on top of it and sometimes - a lot of the time - I don't! Frank is in nursery three days a week and I feel that is the right balance for us at this moment in time, except I can't actually do all that I need to do with the business in three days a week so there's a bit of a gap. He usually sleeps in the afternoons he's home, and with evenings and a bit of weekends I can manage, but I had reached a point where I had more days covered and I was doing less in the evenings and weekends before Frank arrived.
I think the grass is always greener so I need to remind myself that this was a choice, I'm very lucky that I have that choice, and also this is a phase. When Frank is a bit bigger he'll probably go up to four days and I'll generally be less sleep-deprived so that'll help!
The first couple of years in business were incredibly tough - it takes a lot to get something going - and it feels much calmer than it did then. The business has grown month on month since we launched and we're at a level I couldn't have imagined two or three years ago, so it's important to stop and reflect on that as if you're always just focused on pushing forward it's exhausting. And I have Doug and three amazing kids. We're doing ok.
You can follow Steph here @steph_dontbuyherflowers, browse for Mother's Day (end of March) and all other thoughtful gifts here. Steph has also been on loads of podcasts, and inspired me when I set up We Got This (Sometimes!) - just search for her in the podcast library. I think the Scummy Mummies episodes with her are ace.
Do you have an Idea to Do Now You are a Mama?
We Got This started from thoughts of what do I do now I have two kids…as a brand manager working from home I was lucky that I didn't have to be at an office everyday, however buyers need meetings when they need them and it was when I was crying at Stowmarket train station as I'd got off a stop too early, pregnant and clock watching to pick up my daughter from nursery that I thought I can't do this with two babies! I was on the phone to my boss and I thought the station looked different but maybe it was a different side?!!?! Cue a very pregnant weeping women snotting to the train man about how long would a taxi take etc etc. Anyway.
So. Will was born. I searched for something to help his dry skin and came across a coconut brand Kokoso (which I now use myself!), and saw a pic of Mother of Daughter's lovely twins and of course found Mother Pukka and her extremely relevant and epic Flexible Working campaign then scrolled and clicked and scrolled and clicked and found a whole world of mothers parenting, earning, having fun, learning, sharing mishaps AND actually connecting in real life at events.
But not to Norwich…and that's why I said to Mike one night, maybe I could host the events here as maybe other women would like to get inspiration from each other like me.
1> Little Black Book: A Toolkit For Working Women This is a brilliant tiny book, really easy to read and its quite pragmatic, looks pretty, and I felt like I'd been given a little guide of how to own a little space and it was perfect for shifting my brain from full on baby mode to start-to-think-about-earning-again mode.
2> Podcasts. It's like going to college or listening to your mates chatting but actually you are sterilising/washing/driving (I wish I could say running). One Girl Band - I LOVE Lola's podcast. Bit like a pep talk if you are thinking about starting up a business. Cherry Healey's are really good, I especially love the one with Steph from Don't buy her Flowers, and of course Scummy Mummies make me HOOT with laughter (do NOT listen with kids though!). I have also partaken in some Side Hustle School listening, and for stuff completely unconnected with parenting, Ctrl Alt Delete makes me feel like an intelligent adult, which is nice. Please tell me what podcasts you find!
3> Running the idea past a life coach, my long suffering friends and husband and anyone who would listen! And then asking actual Norwich women if they would come. That could have been a school girl error.
My intention is run workshops / talks / supper clubs that focus on different bits of all of this...it's coming!

Development of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy for glioblastoma targeting epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII)

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common brain tumor, with a poor prognosis of less than 14 months after initial diagnosis. Gene amplification and mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are frequently observed in primary GBM. The most common variant of EGFR, known as EGFRvIII, is expressed in approximately 30% of GBM patients, but is absent on normal cells, making it a desirable target for cancer immunotherapy. In addition to the surge of adoptive cell immunotherapies for the treatment of advanced cancers, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have come to the forefront as a promising therapeutic strategy. We have engineered genetically modified T cells to express CARs that specifically target tumor cells expressing EGFRvIII and/or amplified EGFR for the treatment of malignant gliomas.
Our studies have focused on optimizing the EGFRvIII-CAR structural design, including the antigen-targeting domain (scFv), extracellular non-signaling linker, and intracellular co-stimulatory signaling domains, to improve overall CAR T cell specificity and efficacy. Thus, we have compared five different scFvs for targeting EGFRvIII, and four different linkers with varying lengths. CAR activity was evaluated using a variety of in vitro functional assays, including CD107a degranulation, IFN-γ production, PD-1 induction, T cell proliferation and tumor killing assays. Using these assays, we have defined CARs capable of mediating highly-specific activation and killing of target tumor cells expressing EGFRvIII and/or amplified EGFR, with minimal targeting of endogenous EGFR-expressing cells. We further validated our EGFRvIII-specific CAR T cells using preclinical human xenograft models of GBM. Our in vivo tumor studies show dose-dependent killing by locally administered EGFRvIII-CAR T cells against subcutaneous tumors expressing EGFRvIII. Combined, these studies demonstrate potent anti-tumor activity of EGFRvIII-specific CAR T cells.

Q: How to make an LED blink in Verilog? I have a FPGA board and I'm trying to make an led blink with a 30% timing margin of 60 seconds.
I have the clock set at 24 MHz
Here is the code I used from a tutorial website
reg [33:0] counter;
reg state;

assign ledg[0] = state;

always @ (posedge clock) begin
    counter <= counter + 1;
    state <= counter[24]; //
end

There are 3 concerns I have about this code:

*

*I don't understand why the counter was declared with the subscript [33:0]

*I don't understand why the state is set to unblock when counter[24]

*Upon using this code, my timing margin is off, i.e. when I timed the amount of blinks per 60 seconds, it was 0.73, which is off by .03 according to the requirements.
Thanks

A:
I don't understand why the counter was declared with the subscript [33:0]

The subscript [33:0] means that your counter has 34 bits. This means it can count from 0 to 2^(34)-1, or 0 to 17179869183 in decimal.

I don't understand why the state is set to unblock when counter[24]
  Upon using this code, my timing margin is off, i.e. when I timed the
  amount of blinks per 60 seconds, it was 0.73, which is off by .03
  according to the requirements.

state is assigned to the 24th bit of the counter. That means that whenever the 24th bit of the counter is equal to 1, the state will be '1' and the LED will turn on. Whenever the 24th bit of the counter is 0, the state will be 0 and the LED will turn off.
Note that the 24th bit of the counter toggles every 2^24 cycles, or 16,777,216 cycles. Remember that your clock is 24 MHz so that means the clock toggles 24,000,000 times per second. So if your LED state toggles every 16,777,216 cycles, that means it toggles (16,777,216/24,000,000) times per second or every 0.699 second - so it should be very close to the 0.7 that you are looking for.

A: //300MHz to 1Hz
module top(
    input clk,
    input reset,
    output led
    );
reg [27:0] counter;
reg led;
reg clkout;

always @(posedge clk) begin
    if (counter == 0) begin
        counter <= 149999999;
        clkout <= ~clkout;
    end else begin
        counter <= counter - 1;
    end
end

always @(posedge clkout) begin
        if (reset == 0) begin
            led <= 0;
        end else begin
            led <= ~led;
        end
    end

New York Times buys into ANSTO's nuclear spin about Kimba?
This New York Times author gives a fair coverage to the Kimba radioactive waste dump issue. But it's misleading in 3 important ways, as if the author completely buys the nuclear lobby's propaganda.:
States that "The country has no nuclear power plants." But fails to mention the Lucas Heights nuclear reactor [which is the source of the really important radioactive trash for Kimba]
Fails to mention the fact that South Australia has a clear law prohibiting establishment of any nuclear waste facility
Seems unaware of the huge distances (2000 km) involved, which would mean that the vast majority of medical wastes would no longer be radioactive, in transport from the main points of production and use.
A Farming Town Divided: Do We Want a Nuclear Site that Brings Jobs?, NYT, By JACQUELINE WILLIAMS, MARCH 7, 2018 "……… Now, as the federal government considers whether to build the site on one of these two farms in Kimba, this community of about 650 people finds itself divided and angry. The prospect of jobs and subsidies that the site would bring has split locals between those who want to preserve rural Australia's way of life and those who say the glory days of farming are over…..
Despite the distances, locals say Kimba always had a strong sense of community, at least until the nuclear site was proposed. Some said the allure of millions of dollars' worth of grants and subsidies that the government was offering the host community had blinded people to the risks.
"If it wasn't for the money that the government's offering, we wouldn't be where we are," Austin Eatts, 89, said on the large wheat farm just out of town where he has lived all his life.
Mr. Eatts, from one of the town's original families, is a neighboring landowner to Michelle and Brett Rayner, who have nominated their farm as a potential site for the nuclear dump.
"I share a pipeline with them; I don't want to share a nuclear waste dump with them," Mr. Eatts said. Looking at a pile of documents about the proposed facility he had collected over the past year or so, he said he worried about the effect of the radioactive waste on the town's future generations. …..
as the federal government narrows in on this tiny community as one of two potential host communities, fear and outrage about the potential effect of it on Kimba's farming land has grown. ……
The farms being considered for the proposed site are 10 to 15 miles outside town. Each year, the amount of low-level waste generated in Australia is smaller than one shipping container, according to government figures, along with intermediate-level radioactive waste the size of a Dumpster. The country has no nuclear power plants.
The site is expected to bring more than a dozen jobs, leading supporters to call it a much needed alternative to agriculture for the local economy.
Those against the facility, like Peter Woolford, a third-generation Kimba farmer, and part of the No Radioactive Waste on Agricultural Land in Kimba or South Australia group, say it will hurt the prices of crops and farmland. They also worry that Kimba will forever be known as the nuclear dump town. ……
To persuade residents to accept the site, the government has also flown some on all-expenses paid trips to Sydney to view a nearby nuclear laboratory.
The federal government has said that it will not choose any site without broad community support. In early 2016, a vote showed that Kimba was almost split down the middle. Later that year, the number in favor had increased slightly.
To end the sometimes bitter rift in the community, some politicians are urging the government to find another site.
"This has been a needless point of division in the community for more than 18 months now," Nick Xenophon, a former senator who used to represent the state of South Australia, said in a statement. "It's time for that to stop."…..https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/07/world/australia/kimba-nuclear-waste.html

The 11th studio album "Generation 13" was originally released 1995 and saw SAGA release their first concept album. Inspired by the book ´13 Gen Abort Retry Ignore Fail` by Neill Howe and Bill Strauss keyboardist Jim Crichton developed the (fictitious) story of young Jeremy, a member of what is known as the 13th Gen, whose future prospects were full of uncertainties such as unemployment or homelessness despite the nation's huge wealth. As a result, Generation 13 turned out as a very complex musical album with great rock songs and a truly creative and interesting story full of social criticism. The album is considered as a one of the best concept albums in prog rock history by many.
For this re-release, the album was completely remastered (2015). The tracklist is completed by one additional bonus tracks (never released before), newly recorded during their European Touring 2015 at Fabrik, Hamburg.
"Steel Umbrellas" is one of the second round of earMUSIC's SAGA Reissue Series and is best known for featuring a more popish side of SAGA. The album was originally composed as a soundtrack for a TV series called ´Cobra`. Mixed by Mike Ging (Michael Jackson, Toto, Nazareth) in L.A., Steel Umbrellas takes you straight back to a more popish 80's sound. While the opener "Why Not" is a great rock tune in all SAGA's tradition, some very nice flowing ballads such as "I Walk With You" or "Say Goodbye To Hollywood" are featured here; "Steamroller" comes along with quite a funky attitude and "Shake That Tree" got a real groove on. Overall, Steel Umbrellas definitely features a softer SAGA than its preceders but doesn't neglect the signature SAGA sound.

Having a Credit Score is admittedly confusing in nature. If you carry more debt, your credit score comes across as low. But you will have more chances of having a good credit score. If you clear all your payments on time and have no debt, it comes across as good credit but the score will still be poor. India's First Free Online Financial Advisory, Moneymindz. Lenders use credit score to determine how reliable you are and how soon/late are you likely to repay your loans. That's why having a credit score is crucial. It's all about having great financial habits and maintaining a good credit score.
Being moderate is what is required here. If you are also struggling with credit cards or are thinking of getting one, make sure you don't go to the extremes. Just follow these steps.
A budget contains your income, expenses, savings, investments, financial aims and the time frame by which you want to achieve each financial goal. India's First Free On call Financial Advisory, Moneymindz. Then start tracking your expenses and reduce them so that you have some extra money which you can put for investments or clearing any debt you might have. Budgets let you know where your money is going and let you decide where your money should go.
Check your credit score on a monthly basis (or at least once a month). This way you can know if something is wrong and take action immediately. See how much you use. Better note down each time you use a credit card so that you know how much you have used and how much you have to repay now.
Instant gratification is the norm today and that what lands more people into more debt and fewer savings. Free Online Financial Advisory, Kuber Mindz. If you practice delay gratification, you can reduce debt and perchance increase your savings as well! Be content with what you have, swell all those useless items which only bought you more debt and stop buying something unless it is very important or you really need it.
