Vaishno Devi reduction in the number of devotees in court

स्कूलों में परीक्षा और मौसम के बिगड़े मिजाज के कारण इन दिनों माता वैष्णो देवी के दरबार में श्रद्धालुओं की संख्या कम हो गई है। हालांकि, वीरवार को मौसम साफ होने से श्रद्धालुओं ने राहत की सांस ली है। वहीं, श्रद्धालुओं की संख्या आठ से दस हजार के बीच होने के कारण प्राचीन गुफा खुली हुई है।

विदित हो कि बुधवार को आधार शिविर कटड़ा सहित वैष्णो देवी मार्ग और आसपास के क्षेत्रों में बारिश हुई थी। त्रिकुटा पर्वत की ऊपरी चोटियों पर हल्का हिमपात हुआ था। मार्च में हिमपात देखकर लोग हैरान हैं। ऐसे में ठिठुरन बढ़ गई है। मां वैष्णो देवी के दर्शनों को देशभर से आने वाले श्रद्धालुओं को गर्म कपड़े पहनकर परिवार सहित पंजीकरण करवा कर भवन की ओर रवाना हुए। नगर से जारी हेलीकॉप्टर सेवा सहित वैष्णो देवी मार्ग पर चलने वाली बैट्री कार सेवा श्रद्धालुओं को उपलब्ध रही।

संभावना जताई जारी है कि मार्च के दूसरे पखवाड़े या फिर अप्रैल में वैष्णो देवी यात्रा में वृद्धि देखने को मिल सकती है। जिसका व्यापारी वर्ग बेसब्री से इंतजार कर रहा है।

दस मार्च से फिर बिगड़ेगा मौसम का मिजाज-

वादी में ताजा बर्फबारी के बाद फिर हिमस्खलन का खतरा पैदा हो गया है। इसके चलते प्रशासन ने उच्च पर्वतीय इलाकों टंगडार, करनाह, केरन, सोनमर्ग, गुरेज, तुलैल और साधना टॉप में रहने वाले लोगों को सावधानी बरतने की सलाह दी है।

बीते चार दिनों से वादी में जारी बर्फबारी व बारिश का सिलसिला वीरवार को थम गया। मौसम विभाग ने मौसम शुष्क रहने की संभावना जताई है। विभाग की मानें तो 10 मार्च से वादी में फिर से बर्फबारी की संभावना है। मौसम विभाग के निदेशक सोनम लोट्स ने कहा कि पश्चिमी विक्षोभ 10 मार्च से वादी के वायुमंडल में फिर से सक्त्रिय होगा। इसके चलते वादी में फिर से बर्फबारी व बारिश हो सकती है। इस बीच तापमान में भी गिरावट आ सकती है। वहीं, चार दिनों से जारी बर्फबारी और बारिश का सिलसिला थमने से लोगों ने राहत की सांस ली है। दिन में हलकी धूप भी छाई रही। हालांकि, बर्फीली हवा चलने से लोगों को ठंड का अहसास हुआ। श्रीनगर में अधिकतम तापमान 10.2 डिग्री और न्यूनतम 3.0 डिग्री सेल्सियस रिकॉर्ड किया गया।

Astrology GIFs for the Week of January 13, 2014 - The Cut

The full moon in Cancer on Wednesday the 15th is a good day to purchase silver objects or to benefit from spas and healing waters. It is also a favorable time to deal with women in business or in the home, especially in connection with commodities, food, furniture and antiques, or travel.

On Thursday the 16th, Venus will form an aspect with Mars — but it’s not just about love and lust, as Venus and Mars together are known to be; this is the fuel that energizes a potent aspect called a Grand Cross, involving heavy-hitting planets, that could indicate the timing for stirring events to occur this month. People may fall madly in love under this energy, or find it deeply exciting, and because Venus is in retrograde, past lovers may come around again. Things could get rowdy, depending on your personal horoscope. (for 2014 Horoscope in Hindi.)

Capricorn (December 22–January 19)
Nurture the projects and people close to your heart from the full moon on Wednesday through the 24th. Going through the motions is a lot less satisfying than being emotionally invested in a key relationship or working toward a significant goal.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
Someone from your past still thinks fondly of you and may actually be in touch on Thursday, leaving you wondering about what prompted this person to hunt you down. It’s also possible that you’ll be flirting online. The sun moves into your sign on Sunday, bringing more energy to your life. Read more..

Mechanics behind spread of deadly leishmaniasis disease revealed

A new study has provided important information about transmission of human leishmaniasis, which is a group of infectious diseases that kills more than 100,000 people a year.

Professor Deborah Smith of the Centre for Immunology and Infection at University of York, working with colleagues at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and Charles University in Prague, has shown that Leishmania parasites reproduce sexually in the wild.

The research is a significant step forward in understanding how leishmaniasis is spread in endemic regions.

Caused by Leishmania parasites, human leishmaniasis is a serious public health problem in more than 90 countries worldwide.

There are high fatality rates among children and young people and those with suppressed immune systems. Pharmaceutical treatments are limited and there is no vaccine.

These microscopic organisms infect humans through the bite of a female blood-feeding sand fly carrying infective parasites in its gut. Read more..

US says China tested hypersonic missile vehicle

Washington: China for the first time has tested a hypersonic missile vehicle designed to travel several times the speed of sound, the Pentagon said on Wednesday.

The test makes China the second country after the United States to conduct experimental flights with hypersonic vehicles, a technology that could allow armies to rapidly strike distant targets anywhere around the globe.

"We're aware of the test of the hypersonic vehicle but we are not commenting on it," said Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Pool, a Pentagon spokesman.

The flight was conducted on January 9 and the Chinese vehicle, dubbed the WU-14, is supposed to travel at Mach 10, or 10 times the speed of sound, according to a report in The Washington Free Beacon, an online publication.

Chinese state-run broadcaster China Radio International quoted the defense ministry information office as saying: "China's planned domestic scientific research and experiments are normal and are not aimed at any country or target." Read more...

The minister then claimed that his account had been hacked and and will be not functioning for a few days before the issues are sorted out. The controversial tweets have now been deleted. Read more

    I don't expect Miss Lovely to do well in India: director Ashim Ahluwalia

Ahluwalia offered him the script of Miss Lovely? Hardly.

"I found the script very complex. There was too much detailing in the script and my character. I thought it was a difficult film and did not know how to go about it," says the actor.

Nawazuddin was right. He had to unlearn everything they taught him at the National School of Drama, as the film required him to 'not act'. "You will find my performance very raw in the film. In fact, I had to start all over again as an actor. The unlearning process is much more difficult."

"The film has an experimental narrative. The camera work is also very different," says Nawaz about the film.

Some of the critics who have watched the film at Cannes Film Festival find his acting a notch below his recent performances and the actor says he doesn't mind that at all.Read More..
