<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are a first-time visitor to any of this places to visit in India, then here is a complication of 10 tips:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1. Ensure You Are Medically Fit :</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of the popular religious sites are either placed on high altitudes or are located in places that have a dry climate. Your religious tour can become a slightly bad idea, if you are not fit physically. It is extremely important you should be medically fit, if you embark on a journey to any <b>pilgrimage destination in India</b>. Good physical fitness is necessary. However, now helicopter tours are being provided for those who are not physically fit and are not in a state to embark on long journeys on-foot.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2. Modest Dressing is Advised :</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is advisable that you follow modest dressing. Wearing shorts or a spaghetti or a halter-neck top is a complete no-no. It is important that one should keep his/her legs and arms covered. This way you respect the religious sentiments of the place that you are visiting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3. Stay Vigil :</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of the religious sites in India are quite crowded, like any other popular tourist destination. There are pilgrims, porters, vendors, horses, locals and so on. Therefore, it is important that you should stay vigil. Take care of your luggage and other belongings. If you have handed-over your luggage to a porter or have loaded it on a pony or a horse, keep track of them. You can need anything from your luggage any time. Things will be comfortable for you like this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>4. Choose The Right Kind of Footwear :</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keep your slippers and flip-flops at your home. Some trails comprise of sharp high and lows or you might have a walk a lot. This can be done only by wearing proper trekking shoes. You do not wish to wish to fall or to get tired anytime during the journey because of wrong choice of footwear. It is necessary that you choose the right kind of footwear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5. Carry The Right Peripherals :</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is recommended that the pilgrims should carry the right peripherals but make sure that you pack light. You will not want to feel burdened during the journey. You can pack your medicines, a hat/cap, sun shades, may a small umbrella, a water bottle, energy bars, any necessary document that may be required during the journey, a few munchies or any other item that you feel is of use to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>8. Be Friends With Your Guide :</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are taking the services of a guide during your religious journey, then it is quite important that you should be friends with them. They are those people who are helping you in knowing your destination better. You will not want your religious journey to be an unsuccessful one by behaving rudely to a local. It is advisable that you should be friendly with your guide. Nevertheless, try not be over-friendly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>9. Respect Local Religious Sentiments :</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As said earlier, Indians are extremely touchy about their religious beliefs and practices and thus, a tourist should respect local religious sentiments. Take care of things as trivial as not wearing footwear inside the temple premises or covering your head when inside the temple. It is like giving respect to the Gods and Goddesses of India, besides the sentiments of the locals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>10. Look Out For Crooks And Touts :</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like any other tourist destination, pilgrimage destinations have crooks and touts, who only wish to make money from tourists. Be careful of such kind of people. Just stay away for those locals who are trying to be too friendly with you.</div>

Most of the festivals that take place in <a href="http://www.indiapilgrimtours.com/destinations/amritsar/" target="_blank">Amritsar</a> are religious in nature. Diwali, Holi, Lohri (bonfire harvest festival), and Vaisakhi (Punjab new year in April) are all celebrated there on a grand scale. Vaisakhi is particularly boisterous, with lots of bhangra dancing, folk music, and fairs. Major celebrations are organized at the Golden Temple on this occasion, and it becomes carnival like outside. There's also a street procession. Other festivals in Amritsar include Guru Nanak Jayanti in November, and the Ram Tirath Fair, also in November a fortnight after Diwali.</div>

Amritsar is divided into old and new parts of the city. The Golden Temple is located in the old part, which is full of bazaars, only 15 minutes from the railway station.

Gurusthan is the place under the Neem tree where Sai Baba was first spotted in Shirdi. The neem leaves left their bitterness due to the presence of Sri Sai Baba in its shade. The place is revered for also being the site where Sai Baba's Guru took Samadhi. Here a huge portrait of Baba is placed in front of which are a shivling, Nandi cow and Sai Baba's padukas. At Gurusthan incense keeps on burning throughout the day and night.</div>

Situated to the right of Samadhi Mandir is the place where Sai Baba spent a major chunk of his lifetime. It is at this Mosque that Baba lit up lamps every evening. In fact the name Dwarkamayee was given by Sai Baba to the Masjid. It was here that Baba spent his days sitting on a huge stone which is preserved till date. Even the sacred dhuni (fire) which was kindled by Baba is lit to till this date.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The miraculous udhi (ash) from this fire is used by pilgrims and is considered to be immensely divine. The Masjid has a life-size portrait of Sai Baba which he himself received and said that after me the portrait would continue to live here. The Dwarkamayee Masjid in fact holds more importance for many devotees of Sai for being the place where this pure soul spent his life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today <b>Shirdi</b> being one of the most famous pilgrimage spots of the world may be for any reason. Crores of devotees from all over the world gather in Shirdi to ask for blessing and with strong hope that their wishes will be fulfilled and they are never disappointed. Shirdi is one of the places where people from all over the world seek bliss from Baba.</div>

<b>How did this take place?</b><br />
Sources, after communicating with the rescued pilgrims, report that around 6:30 am on 17th June, 2013 (Monday), when people came out of their respective lodgings to collect water, a huge boulder of rock and a chunk of ice was rushing down the mountain, behind the temple. The priests and locals informed and advised the pilgrims to relocate to higher ground as a huge stream had breached due to the breaking of the glacier. Thus, this resulted in covering various villages under water and there is no trace of almost 60 villages. This unfortunate happening has therefore, led to a high number of casualties. <br />
<br />
<b>Wide-Scale Destruction - Char Dham Yatra Cancelled:</b><br />
The heavy rains and floods have led to extensive damaged and thus, the official has reported regarding suspending of the Char Dham Yatra, i.e., Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri, for around two to three years. The officials of the Badrinath-Kedarnath shrines said that the places have been desolated and one could only see mud, destruction and death. The destruction is so intensive that Ram Bada, the area near the temple, is no more visible as it has submerged. Even the rescue choppers could not trace the entire 14km trekking route from Gaurikund to Kedarnath through Ram Bada, as it has completely been affected with the cloudburst.<br />
<br />
<b>Impact on Tourism Industry:</b><br />
The officials reported on the unfortunate news of no religious, adventure and eco-tourism in Uttrakhand, for at least 3 years. During the past decade, the state had contributed to the striking growth in the GDP of 9%. According to the recent study, this about 2.78% is contributed by this sector and about 4.59% employment is generated from the same.<br />
<br />
The situation of the state now seems to be grimmer as the surveys show about 79.1% of foreign footfall in Rishikesh, which is followed by Haridwar (61.7%), Gangotri Temple<span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_mark" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="dc3bc529-3c49-4269-87e2-9e7431db71d7" id="e70132f7-96f0-4fb8-b996-4cb49de710b7"><span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_mark" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="d89b9bba-7796-467b-a87f-cef54eafc3f0" id="8cc2a99d-6562-416b-bfda-bee04d0d9247">(</span></span>38.3%), Uttarkashi (23.9%), Kedarnath Temple (22.9%), <a href="http://indiapilgrimagetours.blogspot.in/2013/04/attraction-in-focus-badrinath-temple.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Badrinath Temple</a> (21.4%), Auli (18.9%), Nainital (11.9%) and Gaumukh (11.0%). On an average basis, it is estimated that per day expense of a tourist amounts to Rs. 1119, thus, the loss could be estimated for the coming three years. Along with tourism, sectors like agriculture, fishery, mining and forestry have also been highly affected.<br />
<br />
One could only wish and hope for the tourism economy of Uttrakhand to bounce back in shape as soon as possible, as the national economy also depends on the same.<br />

The 1200 year old <b>Badrinath Temple in Uttarakhand </b>continues to be an enigma for pilgrims from all over the world. Badrinath, the fourth and the last destination of Char Dham Yatra is also the most famous one. Situated in Chamoli District, Uttarakhand, it lies in between the Nar and Narayan ranges towards the east of Nilkantha mountain peaks. The pristine pilgrim of Badrinath even has a mention in the scriptures and was a prime religious site that was revived by Adi Shankaracharya.</div>

The word Badrinath is a formation of Badri and Nath - while ‘Badri’ means berry, Nath means ‘Lord’. The English translation of Badrinath equates to “Lord of the Berries”. This is perhaps a vague explanation behind the abundance of Jujube trees in Badrinath. According to mythology, this was the place where Lord Vishnu, in the incarnation of Nar and Narayan sages, had meditated for thousands of years. At that time Lakshmi ji, in the form of Berry had sheltered him from the harsh weather, and so the name Badrinath.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is common knowledge that Southern India finds a lot of favor with international and local tourists because of their varied geography. That means you get to experience the perfect vacation in the hills and at the beachside, within the span of a day. What’s relatively unknown is that south India abounds with pilgrimage destinations that date back to the 3rd century B.C. Here are top 3 pilgrimage destinations in South India.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1-<b>Tirupati</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not many know that the <b>Tirupati temple</b> is the most visited and the second richest pilgrim destination in the world. Tirupati Mandir is devoted to Lord Venkateshwara, or “The Supreme God” The temple is located on top of the 853m high Tirumala Hills town and is visited by 50,000-100,000 pilgrims daily. The temple was commissioned in the 7th century A.D. by Pallava ruler Sri Kandavan Perundevi and is today managed by its own Board of Trustees. The Temple is believed to receive more than 12 billion INR every year in aids and grants. The temple is sectioned into separate wings such as Vimanam, Bangaru Vakili, Garbha Gruha and Annamaya. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2-<b>Mahabalipuram</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Named after the famous ancient king, Mahabali, Mahabalipuram is famous for its rock cut cave temples devoted to various deities. <b>Mahabalipuram’s temples</b> are exceptionally novel in design and architecture and bear a strong influence of the Pallava dynasty which had them built in the 7th century A.D. Apart from its beautiful temples, Mamallapuram (Mahabalipuram’s other name) is equally popular for its sparkling beaches lined up with casuarinas trees. It’s a good place to shop too, is Mahabalipuram, and you can land a more than a decent bargain on antiques or souvenirs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3-<b>Thanjavur</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also called Tanjore, Thanjavur was made popular by the Chola rulers in the 11th century. The city of Thanjavur was previously the Mecca of culture and learning and is, today, the Rice Bowl of South India. The city, to its credit, is also the home to the melodious Carnatic music, beautiful silk sarees and Tanjore paintings.</div>

<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At India Pilgrim Tours, we receive a lot of queries especially for Vaishno Devi Yatra tour package. It is needless to mention that the cave temple of Vaishno <span class="GRcorrect" grcontextid="Devi:0" grmarkguid="0feb1a9e-b61f-48ee-9e04-b0b56c8e6eeb" gruiphraseguid="83fbbad0-7e8b-4d63-91a2-248668b287e1">Devi</span> has a huge popularity among the Hindu pilgrims as the tourism statistics prove it all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Planning a trip to sacred places require a lot of ground work to make it comfortable and convenient. In the context of Vaishno Devi, one requires extra care and advance planning as it is practically impossible for the management to meet the needs of such huge pilgrim population. </div>

<a href="http://www.indiapilgrimtours.com/packages/chardham-yatra-12-days.html" rel="nofollow">Chardham Yatra</a> is a very significant Hindu pilgrimage that comprises of four important religious sites- Yamunotri, Gangotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath. It is not only one of the most searched and planned pilgrimage tours but is also the most exhausting one too. Therefore, it is extremely important to be properly geared up for Charm Dham Yatra. Keep the following in mind:<br />
<br />
<b>Pack light</b>- Most of the packages offer clothing and comforters as a safeguard from the chill along with all the meals. Thus, one must pack light to experience the least amount of burden during long hours of traveling. Try to keep everything to the bare minimum.<br />
<br />
<b>Food</b>- The food that one gets on pilgrimage tours is completely vegetarian and that too only at the time of meals. Make sure that you carry some dry fruits which will not only keep you warm but will also prove to be a great option during long traveling hours. If need be, you can keep other munchies too. Alcohol is a complete no-no.<br />
<b><br />Clothing</b>- As far as clothing is concerned, you should pack your bare woolens. Although you get comforters in the package but if you still feel like, then you can pack one or two heavy woolens.<br />
<br />
<b>Foot-gear</b> – The Yatra takes you through tough mountain terrains, therefore, you must pack a pair or two of good hiking shoes. It will help you during strenuous walks. <br />
<br />
<b>Essentials</b> – Do not forget to pack medicines, toiletries, a torch with an extra pair of batteries, pocket-change and a first aid kit too. Though, all the documentation is done before the Yatra but you must have online scanned versions of all the necessary papers. <br />
<br />
<b>Excessive travel time</b> – <b>Charm Dham Yatra </b>includes long-hours of travel time for which you must be prepared mentally and physically.<br />
<br />
<b>Extra power back-up</b>- One rarely gets internet or mobile signals on high altitudes along with minimum electricity connection too (during travel hours). Therefore, one must not carry extra power back-up for his cell phone or laptop.<br />

are four major pilgrimage destinations, namely, Badrinath , Kedarnath, Yamunotri and Gangotri. One pays a visit to
these sites for seeking spiritual awakening. According to the scriptures and
mythology of the country, it is important that every Hindu devotee must visit
these four pilgrimages to achieve salvation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

packages is to get the darshan of the Divine being and get their blessings not
only to settle in this peace in this material birth but also in life after
death. The Hindu devotes go on such tours so that they can seek forgiveness for
every sin committed. Most of these destinations are not only famous for their
religious relevance but they also offer an amazing example of scenic beauty of
the country. Each of the above mentioned shrines are paid a visit to, by a
large number of tourists every year, not only by people from all over the
country but all over the world. Pilgrim tour packages are the best way to get a

India Pilgrim Tours offers comprehensive pilgrim tour packages for trips to the Kailash Mansarovar.

<b>Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Road over Yatra by Helicopter – Pros</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1- Longer itinerary</b> – The Yatra by road has a 13 day itinerary while the Yatra by Helicopter is an 10 day itinerary. The former’s itinerary is a lot more detailed and relaxed while that of the latter may seem a little rushed to some guests.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2- Package Rates –</b> Due to non-inclusion of any kind of air travel in the package, the overall Yatra package rates become a lot more affordable, starting from INR 94,000. This is preferable for most of our guests</div>

<b>Kailash Mansarover Yatra by Helicopter over Yatra by Road – Pros</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1- Shorter, more compact itinerary – </b>Kailash Mansarover Yatra by Helicopter involves travel for a much lesser duration due to the Simikot – Hilsa helicopter ride. Please note that the destinations for the two Yatras are somewhat different and the itineraries are differently planned.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2- Comfortable for older pilgrims – </b>The itinerary for Yatra by helicopter has been designed to minimize the physical rating for the tour so that older pilgrims find it easier to complete the Yatra. Guests must note that comfort has been optimized in the Road Yatra as well – it’s only the travel time that is little more in this case.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is comfort against cost; budget against time. If you are short on time and want to reduce travel time, go for <b><a href="https://www.indiapilgrimtours.com/packages/kailash-mansarovar-yatra-by-helicopter-kathmandu.html">Kailash Mansarovar Helicopter Yatra</a></b>; else, your best bet is on the Yatra by Road.<br />

Char Dham Yatra, along with the <a href="http://indiapilgrimagetours.blogspot.in/2012/06/amarnath-yatra-2012-india-pilgrimage.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Amarnath Yatra</b></a>, are probably the most revered pilgrimages that devout Hindus go on every year.

<br />
The <b>Char Dham Yatra</b> has an 11 night, 12 day itinerary during which visitors are taken to the 4 most revered pilgrim destinations in India Gangotri, Yamunotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath.

<div align="justify">
A lot, actually. The <b><a href="http://www.indiapilgrimtours.com/package2012/vaishnodevi-yatra-with-exotic-kashmir-7days" rel="nofollow">Vaishnodevi Yatra</a></b> is one of the most revered pilgrimages to various spiritual destinations across India. The sacred Vaishno Devi temple near Katra is rooted inside cavernous mountains that reek of spirituality and tranquility.<br />
<br />
Most of our guests appreciate the hospitable accommodation and comfortable travel plans that Indian Pilgrim Tours affords to them. But a clean room and a cleaner cab are not the only reasons for the popularity of Pilgrimage Tour Packages.<br />
<br />
For guests with limited time, we facilitate helicopter rides to the Temple. These rides are integrated into the package rates for an additional discounted price.</div>
<br />

The best thing about Vaishnodevi Yatra packages by India Pilgrim Tours is that they are largely customizable. So, you can easily plan and book spiritual tours to Vaishnodevi Temple in accordance to your budget and without timely constraints. </div>
<div align="justify" class="MsoNormal">

<div align="justify" class="MsoNormal">
While longer itineraries spanning 8-14 days include tours to major tourist destinations in the Kashmir Valley – such as Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Srinagar and Sonmarg – those with smaller itineraries of 3-5 days consist of day excursions to the Temple after which guests are dropped back at the Srinagar bus stand/airport.</div>

Every year, Hindu pilgrims from the world over set off for the Kailash Mansarover Yatra to pay their reverences to Lord Shiva. The great Lord is believed to dwell inside Mount Kailash in a perennially meditative state. Of late, <b>Kailash Mansarover Yatra by helicopter </b>tours have started being organized by a few selected tour operators.<br />
<br />
The 11 day Yatra features visits to some of the most revered temples of Lord Shiva and of other Hindu gods & goddesses in and around the Mansarovar. Some of these attractions include Pashupatinath Temple, Nepalgunj, Simikot and Nepal’s capital city, Kathmandu. Given below is a day by day breakdown of the itinerary of the entire trip.<br />

<br />
India is a country where religion is deeply engraved into the culture and is a part of the day to day life. Hindus believe that the existence of divine power can be felt in living and non-living alike. It is this belief that compels thousands of devotees to throng Himalayan trail to the abode of Vaishnodevi Mata. It is believed that whosoever wishes for a boon from the goddess hardly gets disappointed. Various legends are associated with Mata Vaishnodevi and her shrine.
<br />
<br />
According to Hindu epics, Maa Vaisno Devi was born in South India. Born to childless parents, the night before her birth her father prayed to the gods and was blessed. When she was 9 years old, Trikuta as she was named, sought her father's permission for doing penance on the seashore.<br />
<br />
She prayed to Lord Vishnu in the form of Lord Rama. Pleased by her devotion, Lord Rama renamed her Vaishnavi (a devotee) and asked to meditate in the Trikuta mountain range in North India. Promising her that the entire world would be singing her praise, Lord Rama also said Trikuta was to become famous as Vaishno Devi and would become immortal forever.<br />
<br />
Bahironath, a tantric came to know about it and he decided to see her. Smitten by her beauty and grace, he forced her to marry him. Somehow evading him, the goddess confronted the tantric on the mouth of her cave and beheaded him. Bhaironath's head flung up the mountain by force of the blow and fell at the place where the Bhairon Temple is now built.<br />
<br />
It is certainly a divine power that gives mental and physical strength to the pilgrims to trudge for miles after miles on the pathways cut across the hillside to reach the sacred shrine of Vaishnodevi. This shrine signifies the victory of goodness over evil and light over darkness.
<br />
<br />

<br />
The sacred shrine of Mata Vaishnodevi can be reached in a number of means. Vaishno Devi Temple can be reached after making a steep 13-km trek from Katra, the town at the foot of the Trikuta hills. Though the route is craggy and demands physical and mental strength of the pilgrims, the scenic beauty all around makes the travelers walk through mile and miles.

Holiday in IndiaA Spiritual Escape with Exotic Holiday in Indiadsfsdfsdfsfsfsdfsdf<span style="font-family:verdana;">India is a country where religion is deeply engraved into the culture and is a part of the day to day life. Hindus believe that the existence of divine power can be felt in living and non-living alike. It is this belief that compels thousands of devotees to throng Himalayan trail to the abode of Vaishnodevi Mata. It is believed that whosoever wishes for a boon from the goddess hardly gets disappointed. Various legends are associated with Mata Vaishnodevi and her shrine.<br /><br />According to Hindu epics, Maa Vaisno Devi was born in South India. Born to childless parents, the night before her birth her father prayed to the gods and was blessed. When she was 9 years old, Trikuta as she was named, sought her father's permission for doing penance on the seashore. She prayed to Lord Vishnu in the form of Lord Rama. Pleased by her devotion, Lord Rama renamed her Vaishnavi (a devotee) and asked to meditate in the Trikuta mountain range in North India. Promising her that the entire world would be singing her praise, Lord Rama also said Trikuta was to become famous as Vaishno Devi and would become immortal forever. Bahironath, a tantric came to know about it and he decided to see her. Smitten by her beauty and grace, he forced her to marry him. Somehow evading him, the goddess confronted the tantric on the mouth of her cave and beheaded him. Bhaironath's head flung up the mountain by force of the blow and fell at the place where the Bhairon Temple is now built. It is certainly a divine power that gives mental and physical strength to the pilgrims to trudge for miles after miles on the pathways cut across the hillside to reach the sacred shrine of Vaishnodevi. This shrine signifies the victory of goodness over evil and light over darkness.<br /><br />The sacred shrine of Mata Vaishnodevi can be reached in a number of means. Vaishno Devi Temple can be reached after making a steep 13-km trek from Katra, the town at the foot of the Trikuta hills. Though the route is craggy and demands physical and mental strength of the pilgrims, the scenic beauty all around makes the travelers walk through mile and miles. For the aged pilgrims and people who are running short of time, Vaishnodevi Yatra by helicopter is the best option to opt for.<br /><br />Those who want to savor the beauty of the Kashmir valley they can spend some time in Gulmarg, Sonmarg, Pahalgam and Srinagar on their way back from Vaishnodevi. The white snowland of Gulmarg is just 50 kilometers from Srinagar. For the adventure enthusiasts, the place is a heaven as it offers scopes for various adventure sports and activities. While staying in Srinagar, a romantic Shikara ride on the Dal Lake can be an ultimate romantic vacationing idea for the love birds.<br /><br />Whether it is for the spiritual enlightenment of the self or for enjoying the scorching summer days in the tranquil landscape of Jammu & Kashmir Valley, the Vaishnodevi Yatra is the best answer to the globetrotters all around the world. Self-enlightening, thrilling, adventurous and romantic- a walk to the sacred shrine of Vaishnodevi in India is a journey worth to be treasured for lifetime.</span></style></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:latentstyles></xml></m:defjc></m:rmargin></m:lmargin></m:dispdef></m:smallfrac></m:brkbinsub></m:brkbin></m:mathfont></m:mathpr></w:word11kerningpairs></w:dontvertalignintxbx></w:dontbreakconstrainedforcedtables></w:dontvertaligncellwithsp></w:splitpgbreakandparamark></w:dontgrowautofit></w:useasianbreakrules></w:wraptextwithpunct></w:snaptogridincell></w:breakwrappedtables></w:compatibility></w:donotpromoteqf></w:validateagainstschemas></w:punctuationkerning></w:trackformatting></w:trackmoves></w:worddocument></xml></div>
