Places To Visit In Alwar
13 Places to Visit in Alwar—Explore the Grandiose City of Rajputs in 2019!
The City Palace and the museum are remarkable structures that elevate rambling, dusty Alwar to a worthy tourist destination. Alwar is one of the oldest Rajasthani kingdoms, its roots going as far back as 1500 B.C. It rose to prominence in the 18th century when Pratap Singh kept the Marathas at bay, and resisted armies from Jaipur and Bharatpur. Alwar was also one of the first Rajput states to form ties with the British colonists, even though the relationship was testy at best.
Alwar is a city soaking in history. The regular tourist crowd give Alwar a miss and that means you can explore the city and its surrounding attractions in peace. This gives the place a sense of quietude as you stroll through the ancient palace and soak in the charms of its colourful bazaars. The Alwar Utsav festival that takes place in November is a great time to be here.
Alwar is also the final destination for the Fairy Queen- a retro locomotive said to be the oldest in the world and constructed in 1855! The journey begins in New Delhi and comes to a halt in the City of Rajputs.
Here's the only list you need for places to visit in Alwar, its secrets tucked away from the maddening crowd.
Bala Qila City Palace City Palace Museum Sariska Tiger Reserve Vijay Mandir Palace Bhangarh Purjan Vihar Hanuman Temple Moosi Maharani ki Chattri Neelkanth Siliserh Lake and Palace Fateh Jung Gumbad Garbhaji Waterfall
1Bala Qila— The exquisite bastion that once hosted Emperors Babur and Akbar
Towering 300m above the city, Bala Qila's fortifications are on the edge of a steep incline. The massive bastion predates the rise of the Mughals and its impressive ramparts run for a good 5kms. However, Mughal emperors, Akbar and Babur spent time here. Emperor Jahangir spent his three years of exile at Salim Mahal within the walls of this fort.
You can either hire a rickshaw for a longer 7km ride or you could make the steep climb yourself and save time. Bala Qila was constructed on the foundations of a 10th century battlement and the structure is steeped in history. There are six entrances and once you're within its walls, the marble columns and exquisite latticed balconies are a joy to behold. While the name 'Bala' means young, the fort is ancient, being constructed in the 1500s.
Entry is free. All you need to do is get permission from the police superintendent's office in the City Palace complex. This is pretty easy to manage.
2City Palace— The culmination of Mughal and Rajput architecture
At the bottom of Bala Qila sits Vinay Vilas Mahal, or the City Palace, that is a geometric whirlwind of pavilions and ghats. Constructed in 1793, the City Palace has 15 large towers and 51 smaller towers that give this structure an air of regality. The marble pavilions, intricate murals, lotus flower bases and airy courtyard make this a must visit destination in Alwar. The palace now houses the offices of the District Collectorate, making it one of the most beautiful government offices in the country.
Discover the Rajput-Mughal architecture and take a stroll along the banks of Sagar Kund, the artificial lake, before you decide to move on to the next attraction. The City Palace is one of the most historically important places to visit in Alwar.
10 A.M. – 5 P.M. (closed on Mondays)
INR 5 for Indians; INR 50 for Foreigners
3The City Palace Museum— An eclectic collection of Rajputana wealth
Within the sprawling gates of the City Palace is a government-run museum that contains relics such as royal ivory slippers, taxidermied Scottish pheasants, glorious weaponry, royal attire, a 11th century Vishnu sculpture, erotic miniatures, and widescreen paintings of royal processions.
The museum is on the top floor of the City Palace and you can reach it by taking the ramp from the main courtyard. The City Palace Museum is a treasure trove of ancient coins, manuscripts, inscriptions and stone sculptures. Swords belonging to Emperor Aurangzeb and Akbar are also on display here.
Tuesday – Sunday; 9:45 A.M. – 5:15 P.M.
INR 50 for Indians; INR 100 for Foreigners
4Sariska Tiger Reserve & National Park— The natural haven for Royal Bengal tigers and a spooky fort
From jungle safaris to ancient temples, Sariska has it all. Situated across 866 sq km this National Park is home to a variety of wild animals in the midst of stunning scenery. Located within the soft folds of the Aravalli Hills, a jungle safari will help you spot the rare Indian Eagle-Owl, peacock, sambhar, nilgai, jackal, wild boars, monkey, leopard and the majestic tiger.
As of August 2018, Sariska Tiger Reserve is home to four tigers, eight tigresses and two cubs. It is the first tiger reserve in the world to have successfully completed a tiger relocation scheme. 36kms from Alwar, this reserve is the perfect destination for nature lovers. The wildlife viewing experience is phenomenal and November to March is the best time to visit this protected natural abode.
If you have time to spare, make the trip to Kankwari Fort situated deep within the Sariska National Park. The fort offers panoramic views of red mud village houses across the jungle. Historically, Kankwari Fort is where Emperor Aurangzeb imprisoned Shah Jahan's heir to the Mughal throne, before having him executed.
Make sure you sign up for a long tour if you really want to explore Sariska in all its natural beauty. The best way to explore this park is in a jeep or canter. Travellers can book a seat at the Forest Reception Office at the entrance of the park. Guides are mandatory and charge up to INR 300 for a 3-hour trip.
When it comes to wildlife places to visit in Alwar, the Sariska Tiger Reserve is as good as Ranthambore.
6 A.M. – 3 P.M. (1st October – 30th June)
INR 105 for Indians; INR 570 for Foreigners.
5Vijay Mandir Palace— A still functioning royal household
Situated on the banks of the Vijay Sagar Lake, 10kms from the main city, the architecture of this palace is what makes it a must visit destination. The Vijay Mandir Palace is still owned by the Alwar Royal Family and while you cannot explore its 105 rooms, you can take a stroll in the palace grounds and take in its beauty. Vijay Mandir Palace was constructed by Maharaja Jai Singh.
6Siliserh Lake and Palace— Tranquil waters for sailing, bird watching and water adventure sports
The Siliserh Palace, constructed in the mid-1800s, was originally a royal hunting lodge before being transformed into an exquisite palatial household. It is currently a tourist bungalow but the main reason to visit this destination, 20kms southwest of Alwar, is the Siliserh Lake and its surrounding flora.
The 10.5 sq km lake is encompassed by thick jungle cover making it the perfect destination for birdwatchers and nature lovers. You can even hire a paddle boat and view the royal hunting lodge as you paddle around this beautiful lake. If you're an avid angler, Siliserh Lake is the right destination for you. Set sail and throw in your line for a day spent away from the usual tourist attractions.
Free for Siliserh Lake; Boating charges extra.
7Fateh Jung Gumbad— A tomb of great aesthetic value
Alwar's beauty lies in the stories behind every historical structure. Fateh Jung Gumbad was built by Shah Jahan as the final resting place for a minister from the Mughal court. Fateh Jung must have been a model employee for his tomb is a five-storied architectural wonder that combines Mughal and Rajput motifs. The all-sandstone tomb includes minarets and domes that pierce the Alwar skyline. The wall carvings are still intact and if you're a history buff, this grand structure will leave you spellbound.
8Moosi Maharani ki Chattri— A finely-crafted cenotaph worthy of Alwar's heritage
Rajasthan is a land known for its glorious cenotaphs dedicated to kings and queens of old. Alwar has the Chattri of Moosi Maharani, also called the Cenotaph of Bakhtawar Singh, dedicated to Maharaja Vinay Singh's father and mistress (who self-immolated herself on Bakhtawar's funeral pyre). Situated just beyond the City Palace, this memorial structure is two stories high and rests on a sandstone platform.
Local women still visit the cenotaph and pour sacred water over the sculpted footprints of the royal couple. Make sure you remove your shoes before entering the cenotaph to explore its carved interiors and faded paintings on the ceiling. The tank, temples and ghats alongside the cenotaph adds to the beauty of the place.
9Bhangarh— Town of the supernatural
It's not surprising that Alwar, with its rich history, also contains a haunted abandoned village. The legend goes that a tantric priest fell in love with a princess and when she ignored his advances, he cursed her family and the entire village.
Whether you believe the story or not, Bhangarh was founded in the 1600s and contained around 10,000 households. Curiously, around 300 years ago the village was deserted by its inhabitants. A number of structures still stand tall amidst the untouched countryside making Bhangarh an eerily beautiful destination.
Bhangarh Fort is a three-storied bastion that stands like an Indian gothic castle with temples, a step-well and broken columns. Visitors are not allowed after sunset. Exploring the spooky remains of the fort in the daylight still manages to blend myth and fact to create an extremely satisfying experience. The Shiva temples are still intact and Bhangarh is the kind of Rajasthan town unique in more ways than one. Just make sure you don't bump into a faerie being! For those interested in local lore, Bhangarh should top your list of places to visit in Alwar.
INR 15 for Indians; INR 200 for Foreigners; Free for children below 14
10Purjan Vihar— Royal garden for the nature lover in you
In 1868, Maharaja Sheodan Singh commissioned Purjan Vihar, a garden that dares to stand up to the searing heat of the desert. Nicknamed the 'Company Bagh' or 'Simla', the sprawling greens make for the perfect picnic spot with family and friends.
Winter mornings and evenings are the best time to visit and you can stroll among the same paths used by the royalty of Alwar in the past. Purjan Vihar is aesthetically designed, and well maintained, making it one of the prettiest parks in Rajasthan.
11Garbhaji Waterfall— Cascading delights after an intense history lesson
Alwar has a number of man-made structures that have stood the test of time and are still beautiful. In the midst of all that sandstone, Garbhaji Waterfall is nature's gift to the desert of Rajasthan. Situated on the way to Siliserh Lake, this natural wonder is the perfect pit stop if you want to hear the water crash down over moss-covered rocks while you listen to the twittering of birds overhead.
Make your way carefully up a steep staircase that gives you some of the best views of the surrounding densely covered hills. If you're a photographer, make sure you visit Garbhaji Falls for its vantage points.
Preferably before sunset during the Monsoon and Winter months
12Neelkanth— Temples lost within the jungle cover
The cluster of Jain and Hindu temples at Neelkanth date back to the 6th and 9th century A.D. Situated on a tiny plateau surrounded by old hills and a crumbling defensive wall, Neelkanth is completely off the beaten track. This makes the trip to this mystical temple complex all the more exciting.
Situated in a buffer zone after Sariska Tiger Reserve, the intricate stone carvings seem one with the lush vegetation and exist in perfect harmony. Peacock sightings are common here adding to the fantastical nature of Neelkanth. This is a great destination for hikers and pilgrims alike.
Preferably before sunset
13Hanuman Temple— The Monkey God in the home of the Royal Bengal tiger
This temple is situated deep in the Sariska Tiger Reserve and if you have the time you can drop in. if you're up for a walking adventure, take the 1km walk to Pandu Pol, a massive natural arch. The hiking trail follows a sparkling stream, through thick jungle cover, that ends in a magical green pool.
According to Sariska National Park timings
For the traveller willing to explore Rajasthan differently, the places to visit in Alwar offer exactly that.

Christian group sues after university discrimination ruling derails 75-year run
Lawyer: 'Asking religious leaders to practice what they preach isn't discrimination'
Religion_Belief
Intervarsity
Holy Bible more >
By Douglas Ernst - The Washington Times - Wednesday, March 7, 2018
A long established Christian group at Wayne State University in Michigan has filed a lawsuit in federal court after it was decertified for discrimination.
InterVarsity is a national Christian organization with over 75 years of history serving "warriors," but its Wayne State chapter was booted from campus in 2017. The reason it ran afoul of a nondiscrimination code: Anyone can join the group under its constitution, but student leaders must subscribe to its religious principles.
The group claims that university regulations are selectively enforced to undermine Christians.
"Asking religious leaders to practice what they preach isn't discrimination, it's integrity," said Lori Windham, senior legal counsel at Becket, a Washington, D.C.-based law firm representing InterVarsity, the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday. "Targeting one Christian group that's served the campus for over 75 years, while giving itself and dozens of larger groups a pass, is truly discriminatory."
The Detroit university's decertification forces the group to pay a $100 rental fee for each campus meeting.
"InterVarsity has been unable to reserve free meeting rooms, host free tables for interested students, appear on the website where students may go to learn more about student organizations, apply for funding available to recognized student groups, or receive any other benefits granted to other recognized student groups," the lawsuit, filed Tuesday, alleges.
Members fear that academic institutions across the nation will use similar codes to undermine InterVarsity's work.
A spokesman for Wayne State issued a statement late Wednesday defending its policy.
"Attaining official student organization status is a privilege rather than a right, and is conditional on compliance with our policy of nondiscrimination and equal opportunity," the statement said. "We have taken every step possible to minimize the impact of the decertification on the group, and we approached InterVarsity last December with an offer to work on a resolution to this matter. Our offer still stands. Any such solution will be guided by our desire to reinstate the group's organization status while adhering to our nondiscrimination policy."

HOLLYWOOD/LOLLYWOOD: Saba Qamar is always full of surprises. The actor never fails to impress us or make us feel proud of her achievements. Latest news on the block is that Saba is now heading to Hollywood and has signed a film with Oscar-winning actor, Ben Affleck.
While Saba herself has not commented on this development, inside sources have claimed that this news is indeed true and that she will be addressing this news soon.
However, Saba posted a picture Monday afternoon in her Instagram stories in which she totally looks Hollywood ready. Is this Saba's build-up to the big news?
Saba has already won hearts and awards for her excellent portrayal of slain social media star Qandeel Baloch in the television serial Baaghi. She has also received a lot of critical acclaim for her performance in her Bollywood debut film, Hindi Medium.
Last week, Saba set the ramp on fire when she walked for Padmaavat costume designers, Rimple and Harpeet Narula as they showcased their collection for the Shan-e-Pakistan event being held in Karachi.


Rep. Ed Garner, the Republican sales and income tax deadbeat from Maumelle, grabs a headline by getting to the front of the legislation-filing queue with another run at completely exempting capital gains from income tax.
I am sure this is pure happenstance and not the result of Rep. Garner whining to the publisher of AllBusiness.com to take the article down. After all, it's not like Rep. Garner has shown other signs of being thin-skinned and extra sensitive to any and all criticism, no matter how factual it might have been.
Because I am sure Rep. Garner would not want to appear to be hiding from such things, I thought I would try to find the same article at a different link. Luckily, dear reader, I was able to track down the Google cached copy, which you can view here. Also, in case that happens to disappear — you never know when those pesky internet articles will just up and vanish, right Ed? — I have pasted the relevant parts of the article below the jump.
Rep. Ed Garner, R-Maumelle, a member of the state House Revenue and Taxation Committee, owes more than $50,000 in delinquent state sales and income taxes, according to the Department of Finance and Administration.
Garner's business is Mama's Manna bakery in Little Rock.
He said Tuesday he's arranged a payment plan with the department to satisfy the debt.
"We're current," Garner said. "That was cumulative for troubles we had years and years ago. The company barely lived." The two liens were filed Nov. 19, in Pulaski County Circuit Court by state Revenue Commissioner Tim Leathers. According to the liens, he owes: $47,769 for sales tax liabilities from August 1998 to July 2007. This is from tax his business is supposed to charge customers for buying items. Of this, he still owes $45,921, said Assistant Revenue Commissioner John Theis.
$17,033 for failing to turn over income tax withholdings from employee paychecks for tax years 1995, 1996, 1997 and an audit covering July 2002 to June 2008. Of this, he still owes $5,955, Theis said.
In January 2007, Mama's Manna was on a department list of establishments at risk of being closed by the state for failure to turn over sales tax to the state.
Theis said the business is no longer on the list. He said he couldn't give details, citing taxpayer confidentiality rules, but businesses in such situations often work out payments to pay the tax owed.
Theis said he knows of no other legislator with tax liens filed against them. He said the department files about 9,000 liens a year.
In 2007, Mama's Manna was on the delinquency list at the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau for failing to pay the tourism sales tax of 2 percent, commonly referred to as the "hamburger tax." Lisa Spence, a tax collector with the bureau, said Tuesday that Garner has paid his delinquent tax, including penalties of $434 and interest of $253.
But she said he hasn't paid any tax since October. Taxes are paid monthly, she said.


I recently saw an advertisement that I found kinda alarming. I wonder if anyone else did a double take when they first saw a picture of the iPotty?
Now, thanks to the iPotty, toddlers can use their wi-fi devices hands free in the bathroom. It would be awful if children got their tablets messy while using the bathroom, right?
So, what should we do since the high-tech potties, toasters, cars, fridges, helmets, dolls, toothbrushes (and who knows what else) all have wi-fi capabilities and are emitting EMFs? What are the health implications for our little and big people?
Wireless Education is the new training portal for Wireless Tech Safety. Our core business is focused on education, training and safety. We have researched medical and scientific information so you don't have to.
How'd you do on the quiz?
I'm sure Jeromy Johnson, an EMF expert, would have scored 100% on the wi-fi safety quiz. He gave a TEDx Talk in February of 2016 on the issue. I recommend you check it out, if you haven't already.
TEDx talks have become a popular way to reach a large audience on various topics (once videos are online they can go viral). Live talks, operas, musicals, and plays have always been an important tool for passing along ideas. Your brain will most likely remember something better that it has seen and heard. I think a live performance can be a very memorable experience for your brain.
We understand the "controversial" nature of this subject. Our aim is not to create or add to any existing conflicts. We are telling the story we have lived with the aim of prevention. Given our experience with electrosmog (ie, becoming seriously ill from it), we have decided not to wait for every scientist in the world to come to an agreement before taking action.
Not everyone is in consensus about the ill effects of wireless technology, but I agree that is is safer to take action now than to "wait and see." It is encouraging that playwrights and web developers are doing their part to spread the word on how to be safe.
How about your readers? What do you think should be done to further protects consumers from electrosmog? Have you seen Innocenzo?

Well today my churches monthly operating board meeting happened, it was not that bad, it is not that bad usually since it happens every month there is not much to have to do. I was also set to be one of the delegates for my church to the PALM meeting today.

Q: Formatting What's returned from LINQ So, I currently have a LINQ query
BStops.JPPlatforms.Platform
  .Where(Stop => Stop.Name.ToLower().Contains(SearchBox.Text.ToLower()))
  .Select(Stop => new { Stop.Name, Stop.PlatformNo })
  .ToList();

Which is returning the data I expect it to, the property Platform contains a list of stops that hold another class with properties I want to access to such as Name, PlatformNo and PlatforTag, now the killer for me is two things, one is less important at the moment but if you can help it would be great!
So I want to format this output so when you search it doesn't have all this garbled stuff around it, I would prefer it to be like
Annex Rd near Railway (50643)

I've tried adjusting my query to be like
BStops.JPPlatforms.Platform
  .Where(Stop => Stop.Name.ToLower().ToString().Contains(SearchBox.Text.ToLower().ToString()))
  .Select(Stop => String.Format("{0} ({1})",new { Stop.Name, Stop.PlatformNo }))
  .ToList();

But that causes it to crash back to a unhanded exception, for the life of me I can't seem to figure this out, as for the second part. I'd also like my LINQ query to search both the Name and PlatformNo properties I've already tried the logical || but it crashes back to an unhanded exception and I don't know enough about LINQ to figure out why, any help at this point would be great :).

A: Changing your LINQ query to this would solve the problem.
BStops.JPPlatforms.Platform.Where(Stop => Stop.Name.ToLower()
                                                   .Contains(SearchBox.Text.ToLower()))
                           .Select(Stop => new
                                           {
                                               StopAddress = $"{Stop.Name} {Stop.PlatformNo}"
                                           })
                           .ToList();

A: The Where clause is not performant.  The Text.ToLower should be done outside of the Linq.  Also ToLower returns a string, so there is no need go call ToString
The Select should not create a new object.
var text = SearchBox.Text.ToLower();
BStops.JPPlatforms.Platform
  .Where(stop => stop.Name.ToLower().Contains(text))
  .Select(stop => String.Format("{0} ({1})", stop.Name, stop.PlatformNo))
  .ToList();

Basra FEED contract awarded to Technip and HQC
Submitted by Paddy Harris on Thu, 2014-04-10 09:26
The contract to supply front-end engineering design (FEED) services has been awarded to a partnership between French firm Technip and China HuanQiu Contracting and Engineering Corporation.
Technip, in partnership with China HuanQiu Contracting and Engineering Corporation (HQC), was awarded by Basra Gas Company, a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for Ar Ratawi Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) train1 project at North Rumaila in Basra Province, Iraq.
The project is the first of the new greenfield associated gas processing facilities that will significantly minimize gas flaring in Iraq and make more energy resources available for power and domestic use– an NGL train with nominal feed gas capacity of 530 million standard cubic feet per day. The standalone facilities will produce liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), NGL and condensate for domestic markets.
The scope of work covers the basic engineering design package of the NGL process units, utilities and the submission of an engineering procurement and construction (EPC) package.
Technip's operating center in Abu Dhabi will execute the project, scheduled to be completed by the end of 2014.
Vaseem Khan, president of Technip in the Middle East, declared: "This award reflects Technip's strengthened position in the Middle-East market, following several previous awards. We are proud to bring our specific technological edge and licensed innovative solutions to the downstream industry, while leveraging our 30 years presence in the region."
BGC is a joint venture between the Iraq South Gas Company (51 per cent), Shell (44 per cent) and Mitsubishi (5 per cent)

From ancient times, the primordial man witnessed the wonderful spectacles in the sky. The curiosity of what is beyond our planet which is the space or outer space has driven mankind to create poetry and explore the scientific principles that govern the motions of the stars and planets apart from seeking answers to a multitude of questions.
It was only a little over 50 years ago, that man actually went into space. The progress has been spectacular since the. Man has reached the Moon and the Mars; whereas the spacecrafts have travelled much longer distances. Thanks to powerful cameras and other sensing technologies, we have a much better understanding of the universe and the outer space than we ever had. The boundaries of our understanding of the outer space are expanding each day.
Khula Aasmaan urges children and young adults to explore the fascinating world of Outer Space through their creative expression. They can paint the stars, planets, galaxies, the space missions, the rockets and go beyond the current understanding. After all, the artist sees what the others will not.
Children (5 to 15 years) can submit their artworks in the form of Sketches & Drawings, Paintings, Cartoons, Collage, whereas young adults (15 to 25 years) can submit their artworks in the form of Sketches & Drawings, Paintings, Cartoons, Comic Art, Posters, Doodles, 3D Art on paper, Photographs (camera and cellphone), Digital Art (any artwork created using digital tools).


Personality:There are some that may only see her as stern and serious, but that's only the shallow end of the deep pool of emotion that defines Quistis' personality. To her close friends, Quistis is a guardian, a confidant, a sister, and a loyal friend even through the toughest of times. Quistis is always cordial when meeting new people, but she'll remain guarded until she fully trusts you. Friendship is something Quistis takes seriously, and it shows.
History: Quistis was raised at the Kramer's orphanage along with Squall, Seifer and crew. At the age of 15 she became a SeeD, and then an instructor shortly after. Her youth allows her to relate to her students better than most instructors, making her one of the most popular teachers at Balamb. One group of students even started a fan club devoted to her, affectionately calling themselves "Treppies." Many instructors would often look down on her due to her age, but what she lacks in years she makes up in experience. Quistis' knowledge of battle theory and whip-slinging is un-matched.

We decided to start our European travels in Norway because of the remarkably cheap flight we found. A friend of ours mentioned that Norwegian Airlines has inexpensive flights from the U.S. to Europe so we gave it a look. We found the most incredible flight direct from Oakland to Oslo for only $250!! This is going to be our new go to flight when coming to Europe. Not only does Norwegian airlines fly from the US it also has many flights around Europe. After exploring Norway for a week we used Norwegian Airlines to fly from Oslo to Dubrovnik, Croatia. Pretty rad.
The best thing we did while in Norway was go on the Norway in a Nutshell tour from Oslo to Bergen. It was $200 per person but was totally worth it, especially since it includes a boat cruise through the one of Norway's most famous fjords. The tour takes a whole day but there is an option for an overnight stay in the small village of Flam. This tour is a MUST DO while visiting Norway.
The wine and liquor policy in Norway can be a bit tricky so it is good to plan ahead if you would like to have a glass of vino before you head out for the night. Wine and liquor are only sold at a specific store that are tightly controlled by the government. These stores have some weird hours and close early around 3pm and are closed on Sundays. And if you want beer it must be purchased at a grocery store, and if the beer is over 4.7% alcohol you will need to get it at the wine/liquor store. In our experiences the wine shops tended to be located in the train stations. We suggest you find these stores and check the hours so you aren't stuck without any wine for your picnic. This all might sound a little over the top but when a glass of wine cost $15 USD and a beer cost $10 USD it makes it hard to enjoy yourself as you feel your pockets being emptied. Bottles of wine at the liquor store were about 90 krone or about $10 and beer was also heavily discounted. Smart traveling involves saving money, and drinking wine.
Something we found that was very useful while we were traveling around Norway is that free wifi is everywhere, on the trains, buses, cafes, restaurants, airports, and sometimes even on the streets. It was great being able to use our phones for directions when we needed.
We love to use Air BnB everywhere we go but we found that in Norway it is one of the cheaper options and had some really clean and unique apartments to choose from. We like to have a kitchen so that we can buy local food at markets and cook ourselves, it's a cheap way to enjoylocal ingredients and better integrate yourself into the town.
In Norway seafood is a big part of their cuisine and you can see small seafood stalls everywhere selling all types of fresh seafood at a reasonable price. Local mussels, shrimp, and fish sold from these stalls are a cheaper option for a meal than at a restaurant. We really love street food and Norway's was surprisingly good, it was just really fresh sea food with mild seasoning. We often had better meals on the streets than we did in fancy restaurants.
We hope these tips help, Norway is often skipped over by travelers and we get why, its not in one of the main destinations in Europe like France, Italy, and Germany but if you have been to those places or are looking for a place that is much less hectic, head north to Norway for a very different travel experience. Norway is beautiful and relaxing.

Q: I am trying to get simple jquery code to iterate I am trying to assign text to a sudoku puzzle (made with a table) using jquery and can do it by indvidual cell using the following code:
$('#popSud').click(function(){
$('#1').text('1');
});

but I want to apply it to the entire 81 cell table and am trying the following code but no success:
function popSud(sudName) {
  for (var i = 0; i<81; i++) {
    $('#i').text(sudName[i-1]);
  }
}
$('#popSud').click(function(){
     popSud(easy);
  });

I managed to get all my errors to disappear using the dev tools so I am hitting a wall.  I am using an 81 number array for the code.

A: This part does not work:
 $('#i').text(sudName[i-1]);

jQuery is literally looking for the element with id "i", not with the number you are looking for.
Try this code:
 $('#' + i).text(sudName[i-1]);

Note that i starts counting with 0, so your element ids have to start with 0 as well. Looks like you will have a couple off-by-one errors in your code as it is now.
Besides that, I would recommend to reconsider your the names you give your functions and variables. Right now, you might know what popSud means, but if you have to touch the code again in 6 months? Probably not so much. Why don't you just call it populateSudoku? Considering the fact that pretty much all modern development environments have a code completion feature, the additional legibility comes completely free!

    <p:growl id="messages"></p:growl>
    <p:dataTable var="e" value="#{employees.eList}" id="elist1"
        editable="true">
        <f:facet name="header">
        In-Cell Editing
    </f:facet>
        <p:ajax event="rowEdit" listener="#{employees.onEdit}" update=":form:messages"/>

        <p:ajax event="rowEditCancel" listener="#{employees.onCancel}" />

        <p:column headerText="name" style="width:30%">
            <p:cellEditor>
                <f:facet name="output">
                    <h:outputText value="#{e.name}" />
                </f:facet>
                <f:facet name="input">
                    <h:inputText value="#{e.name}" style="width:100%" />
                </f:facet>
            </p:cellEditor>
        </p:column>
..........   ...........
</p:datatable>

i want to update messages(growl) from datatable component why i have to use colon update=":form:messages"

A: All relative client IDs (the ones not starting with :) are searched relative to the parent component which implements the NamingContainer interface. As you can see in the linked javadoc, that are at least all UIForm and UIData components. The <h:form> is such one. The <p:dataTable> is another one.
In your particular case, the <p:ajax> is enclosed in <p:dataTable>. So, the <p:ajax update="messages"> would look for a child component with ID messages inside the context of <p:dataTable>. However, since there is none, it won't find anything. You actually need to use an absolute client ID instead because it's outside the context of the current NamingContainer parent.

Gnomedad, The High Breaks, The Sun Parade, And The Kids at The Precipice August 1, 2015 Leave a comment
Radio Bean picture by Tim Lewis
After working on July 31st, then seeing some of the music at The Precipice: A Vermont Music Festival that night, I got a good night's sleep and woke up to a Saturday off. I still had moms car from seeing The Decemberists show at Shelburne Museum on Thursday. Around 11, I hopped into the car, drove over to Elmwood ave to pick up my cousins Matt and Jessica Pearson, and their mom Joyce. We drove to New Haven VT and met up with the rest of our family. My uncle David, Matt and Jess' grandfather, passed away on Memorial Day, and while there was a service for him in his church in New Hampshire back in June, this was the day we were interning his ashes in his home town. The service was brief, but nice, then a couple of us, including Craig Pearson and Kook Cheney Pearson and Aunt Gail Pearson drove over to the farm where Uncle David and my Mom grew up. We ran into a neighbor who let us into the old barn then showed us the house, just down the road a few feet, that Uncle David and Aunt Gail built and lived in. It was a nice remembrance. We drove back into town and I dropped off Matt, Jess and Joyce, then stopped at home for a minute or two. I walked downtown to Radio Bean to see where the Precipice was at. Not a lot was happening but soon enough, Gnomedad hit the stage in Radio Bean. They played as a four-piece with guitar, bass, drums, and keys. Their discordant jazz, with rock drums, was interesting, but did not really catch my attention. I headed out to the yard in the back, and Johnnie Day Durand was seated in the performing space playing her saw. I love the haunting melodies she can evoke from the tool and was enchanted for the brief beautiful set. When she wrapped up, I headed back to the Bean and Gnomedad were playing some smoother mellower music that I kind of liked.
After they wrapped up, I looked outside and saw my cousin Michael Pearson, who had said he might stop by. I met him at the entrance to Light Club Lamp Shop and we headed to the back yard for a beer. The singer for Smooth Antics began a set with a guitar player. The guitar had a mellow jazz feel and Steph Heaghney's voice was gorgeous. Unfortunately, I was mostly chatting with Mike and did not catch a lot. We then headed back into the Bean and The High Breaks were set to go on. They unleashed several surf rock noir songs and were as great as always. The last time I saw them they were a three-piece but this time the added a sax player who fit in perfectly. As always, Kevin Lynam's bass was locked in, Todd Gevry's drumming was fast and powerful and Matthew Bryan Hagen's guitar was super sharp. Matt's song introductions were really fun and gave the show an extra bounce. We caught several of their songs, but then a loud sound washed in from the Lamp Shop, so we headed over and caught a bunch of songs from The Sun Parade. They are a four-piece with two guitars, bass, and drums and played some high energy indie rock. The songs were good and fun and kept me riveted. I kind of wanted to check back in with the Breaks, but just couldn't leave. A few songs in found Mike at the end of his day and feeling wiped out. He took off, but was very impressed with the quality of the music. I hung out until the end of their set and was quite pleased.
I headed back to the Bean and the High Breaks were loading out. I waited for a bit, and watched some of the aquatic play that was happening on the street outside, and soon enough And The Kids hit the stage. I seemed to have missed them since they added Taliana Katz on bass, since Megan has had immigration issues, but they were just as perfectly on as always. The three piece lit into the set playing lots of great songs from their now classic debut album. The room was packed and everyone was dancing and having a great time. The band rocked hard and their music happily filled my tired soul. I loved every moment of their majestic set. When they wrapped it up, I said a quick goodbye to Todd, who was quite impressed with ATK, then took the long walk home. It's so nice to know, that when you have a long intensely emotional day, that there is usually music about to help you fall into joy. Thanks everyone.

Radio Bean Birthday Party Part 1 with Dino Bravo, Jeremy Gilchrist, Smooth Antics and Enemy Self November 8, 2014 Leave a comment
I just got back from seeing music at Radio Bean. Yes, I know it's not even 10am yet, so you know what day it is. Happy Birthday Radio Bean! I caught a ride downtown with Mike Luoma, got in and settled and got some coffee, but soon it was time for some rock and roll. Dino Bravo VT said they were going to try and wake up Jason Cooley and opened with the heaviest rock version of Wake Up Little Suzy, with Cooley swapped into the lyric instead of Suzy, that you've ever heard. They followed with another killer cover, the T.Rex classic 20th Century Boy. It was blisteringly loud and rocked hard. They followed with a new one called Past The Mark (sp?) and closed the set with a blistering Sugar Coated Candy Sticks. It's so great to hear some wonderful heavy rock first thing in the morning. Thanks guys!
Up next, Jeremy Gilchrist played three gentle, yet strong, songs on his acoustic guitar. His voice was lovely to listen to and the songs nicely structured. It's a bit hard to go from something so loud to something so gentle, but his set had me swaying all the way through.
Up next, I went in search of free pancakes and happily ate my way through the first song by Smooth Antics. I've heard a lot of good things about them and I can see why. The guitar, bass, drums, sax, keys, and vocalist band played some smooth jazzy funky grooves. Singer Steph Heaghney has a strong voice, but used it pretty gently. The first couple of songs were nicely mellow but the third picked up the pace a bit. Steph has a great stage presence and I can see why there is a lot of buzz about her and the band. I really enjoyed their set.
Up next, Enemy Self turned out to be Mike from Manifest Nextome. He rapped to three pre-recorded hip hop songs. The sound was nicely filled out, and his words were pretty cool.
I could have happily stayed all day, but I do have to work. I took the chilly walk home with thoughts of coming back as soon as I can!

Q: Get photo in telegram bot through pyTelegramBotAPI I'm trying to develop a simple bot, that can retrieve photo from user and then do several operations with media file.
I'm using telebot (https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI) for design.
As far as I can see from the wiki, I can divide income messages by content_type using special handlers.
However, when I wrote such simple method:
#main.py
@bot.message_handler(content_types= ["photo"])
def verifyUser(message):
    print ("Got photo")
    percent = userFace.verify(message.photo, config.photoToCompare)
    bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "Percentage: " + str(percent))

def getData(json_string):
    updates = telebot.types.Update.de_json(json_string)
    bot.process_new_updates([updates])

#server.py
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/", methods=["POST", "GET"])
def hello():
    json_string = request.get_data()
    getData(json_string)
    print("....")
    print(request.data)
    return 'test is runing'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0')

I get such mistake which I can't classify whether I'm doing something wrong or there is a problem with API
obj = cls.check_json(json_type)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/telebot/types.py", line 77, in check_json
return json.loads(json_type)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 339, in loads
return _default_decoder.decode(s)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 364, in decode
obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 382, in raw_decode
raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

I'm new to bot design, so I don't know, whether I'm following the right way. I will be glad to hear the common practice of working with photo media files.

A: In case you want to download the photo you can use this piece of code:
@bot.message_handler(content_types=['photo'])
def photo(message):
    print 'message.photo =', message.photo
    fileID = message.photo[-1].file_id
    print 'fileID =', fileID
    file_info = bot.get_file(fileID)
    print 'file.file_path =', file_info.file_path
    downloaded_file = bot.download_file(file_info.file_path)

    with open("image.jpg", 'wb') as new_file:
        new_file.write(downloaded_file)

After running this code,a file named "image.jpg" will appear next to the script which is the photo you were asking.

A: So if anyone ever has problems with receiving photos on a Telegram bot, here's the code that can retreive a relative file path to the photo:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

        update = telebot.types.Update.de_json(json_string)
        bot.process_new_messages([update.message])
        return ''
    else:
        flask.abort(403)

@bot.message_handler(content_types=['text'])
def echo(message):
    bot.send_message(message.chat.id, message.text)

@errLog
def processPhotoMessage(message):
    print 'message.photo =', message.photo
    fileID = message.photo[-1].file_id
    print 'fileID =', fileID
    file = bot.get_file(fileID)
    print 'file.file_path =', file.file_path

@bot.message_handler(content_types=['photo'])
def photo(message):
    processPhotoMessage(message)

def main():

Priest Message
Feast date: Jan 21
On Jan. 21, the Roman Catholic Church honors the virgin and martyr St. Agnes, who suffered death for her consecration to Christ.
Although the details of Agnes' life are mostly unknown, the story of her martyrdom has been passed on with reverence since the fourth century. On the feast day of the young martyr – whose name means "lamb" in Latin – the Pope traditionally blesses lambs, whose wool will be used to make the white pallium worn by archbishops.
Born into a wealthy family during the last decade of the third century, Agnes lived in Rome during the last major persecution of the early Church under the Emperor Diocletian. Though he was lenient toward believers for much of his rule, Diocletian changed course in 302, resolving to wipe out the Church in the empire.
Agnes came of age as the Church was beginning to suffer under a set of new laws decreed by Diocletian, and his co-ruler Galerius, in 303. The emperor and his subordinate called for churches to be destroyed and their books burned. Subsequent orders led to the imprisonment and torture of clergy and laypersons, for the sake of compelling them to worship the emperor instead of Christ.
Meanwhile, Agnes had become a young woman of great beauty and charm, drawing the attention of suitors from the first ranks of the Roman aristocracy. But in keeping with the words of Christ and Saint Paul, she had already decided on a life of celibacy for the sake of God's kingdom. To all interested men, she explained that she had already promised herself to a heavenly and unseen spouse.
These suitors both understood Agnes' meaning, and resented her resolution. Some of the men, possibly looking to change her mind, reported her to the state as a believer in Christ. Agnes was brought before a judge who tried first to persuade her, and then to threaten her, into renouncing her choice not to marry for the Lord's sake.
When the judge showed her the various punishments he could inflict – including fire, iron hooks, or the rack that destroyed the limbs by stretching – Agnes smiled and indicated she would suffer them willingly. But she was brought before a pagan altar instead, and asked to make an act of worship in accordance with the Roman state religion.
When Agnes refused, the judge ordered that she should be sent to a house of prostitution, where the virginity she had offered to God would be violated. Agnes predicted that God would not allow this to occur, and her statement proved true. Legends say that the first man to approach her in the brothel was struck blind by a sudden flash of light, and others opted not to repeat his mistake.
But one of the men who had at first sought to make Agnes his own, now lobbied the judge for her execution. In this respect, the suitor obtained his desire, when the public official sentenced her to die by beheading. The executioner gave her one last chance to spare her life, by renouncing her consecration to Christ – but Agnes refused, made a short prayer, and courageously submitted to death.
St. Agnes, who died in 304, was venerated as a holy martyr from the fourth century onward. She is mentioned in the Latin Church's most traditional Eucharistic prayer, the Roman Canon.

Thank you for that acknowledgement. Every time I try to talk to explain my views to people about about Lincoln and the Civil War, I am treated as badly as I would if I tried to defend Hitler.
One should be careful about any book that engages a national figure. Some are meant to demolish them, others to glorify them. All presidents are creatures of their times and elicit propaganda in later periods. Very few writers are capable of balanced assessments; few use all the archival materials available.
Hobsbawn's description of why the Civil War was really fought (unification of the states under an industrialist northern capitalism) is precisely the same as I recently read in a book called "Lincoln Unmasked". Unfortunately, because of the slavery issue, the real Lincoln has been obscured in favor of a corny myth.
And Richard Hofstadter in his The American Political Tradition, characterized Lincoln as an opportunist Northern capitalist, reduced to a lawyer for the railroads.

News by Matt S.
She Dreams Elsewhere bills itself as a surreal adventure RPG that "explores dreams and the extent to which they can mirror reality." It's coming to Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC (via Steam) in early 2021… and yes, the last of a PlayStation 4 release is conspicuous in that context.
From the press release: "Unfortunately, some nightmares are harder to confront than others… It's a deeply personal narrative dealing with real world themes such as mental health and self-identity combined with strategic turn-based combat, mind-bending levels, and a surreal, visually-striking world ripe for exploration."
It sounds like there might be a hard edge to the game that will make it difficult to play at points, then. But that's okay. Games need to address challenging subjects, and as long as She Dreams Elsewhere does it in an appropriate and sincere manner, this could be one of the standout indie titles of the year.
We'll keep an eye on this one and share more information as it comes to light.

Whether you live in a huge metropolitan area, or somewhere way out in rural Japan, you can always find local grocers. I think of them as Japanese bodegas (sometimes even coming with a cat), as they are locally owned and integral parts of the community.
From my walk to and from work I pass two of these shops. Near my home there are a few more. When I first moved to Japan, I admit that I was a bit intimidated by places like these. My Japanese wasn't very good at the time (it arguably hasn't improved much, hence my 2019 resolution) and it was so much easier to throw money at the cashier at a supermarket than trying to make conversation with the local obaachan.
Now, after getting over my fear of speaking to strangers who don't use "kiddie Japanese" with me, I actively seek these kinds of places out. And not only do they support the local economy, but they are also much better for the environment.
Not only can you get good deals, but the produce supplied at these places are locally sourced, too. So, rather than chain grocers shipping products from across the country, leaving a large carbon footprint, you can buy from places that get produce from local farmers in your area.
That's not to say that these types of stalls are going to be a perfect solution. You can see that they also use plastic to package their items, in the same way that normal grocery stores do. And, they don't always stock only local produce. Sometimes, the famous Aomori apples have better brand recognition and quality than the local ones do. But, if you're like me and can't much taste the difference between the famous prefectural foods and the regularly produced ones, you can just opt to buy locally grown ones.
As I mentioned, the groceries at the street stalls generally use less packaging than the ones you find at the grocery stores. (I do say generally because sometimes it's just more convenient to use a plastic bag to sell a bag of mikan.) But, for the most part, I can buy loose fruits and have them placed in my own eco bag, rather than have to deal with unnecessary packaging.
I bought an apple from a regular grocery store. This kind of wrapping probably overkill, as most grocery stores don't go overboard with plastic like this, but it's such a waste! It was a discounted item, but there was no need to wrap it up like this to make that clear.
Compared to an apple that I purchased from a local shop, it was obvious how much wastefulness there was going on. Now, that I know about an alternative, I feel guilty whenever I shop at a grocery store.
Another benefit is they can sell older produce. In the mornings, I often see the owner of the shop cutting the old or rotting pieces from vegetables. Then, they end up on this discount table. If you're looking for produce to use for that night's dinner, these groceries are perfect. They won't last much longer, but using them the day of purchase prevents them from going to waste.
As I mentioned, you can also sometimes see cats around these kinds of shops, too. Rats and other pests aren't good for business, so the cats are generally welcome. And I love seeing them every time.
So, next time you're shopping for groceries, instead of heading to your neighborhood grocery store, try to look for one of these street grocers. You'll be helping yourself by getting fresh, cheap produce, and you'll be helping the environment too. It's a win-win situation, no matter how you look at it.
Mel too, I find I can reduce a lot of waste by shopping at the grocer instead of the supermarket. The grocer in my neighborhood doesn't pack the eggs in cartons, so I bring my own box. They also have big barrels of pickled veggies. Customers can bring their own containers to pack them home.

OUR ENDANGERED EARTH
WHAT WE CAN DO TO SAVE IT
by John Langone ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 1, 1992
A sobering attempt to present a more ``balanced'' view of the dangers to life on Earth than environmentalists' accounts: Langone recognizes the seriousness of problems but presents basically industrial-oriented perspectives and partial solutions. His central argument is that ``economic needs and a country's best interests must be balanced with the need to protect the environment.'' He covers most of the big issues: chemicals, noise, air and water pollution, solid waste, nuclear waste, heat pollution, deforestation, threatened wildlife, poverty and overpopulation, energy. In most cases he fairly represents the conflict between economic interests and environmental protection (aside from a few red herrings like environmentalist ``violence''). But the problem here is lack of vision: the suggested solutions derive from the policies that got us where we are, and, given the magnitude of the problems, most of them seem like grasping at straws; few of Langone's proposals involve people living differently in the future. He does recognize vital concepts like the ``web of life'' that makes a forest more than the sum of its parts; reflecting on these may lead readers to come up with more imaginative and effective solutions. The ``Opposing Viewpoints'' series presents the debates better, but this does give an overall view in digestible form. Just be sure to provide more stimulating viewpoints for those who want to know more. Detailed source notes; glossary; index. (Nonfiction. 12+)

SPREADING POISON
BETWEEN TWO FIRES
BLACK SOLDIERS IN THE CIVIL WAR
by Joyce Hansen ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 1, 1993
Brought together in what novelist Hansen (Which Way Freedom?, 1986) calls a ``great experiment,'' black troops in the Civil War faced not only enemy armies but their own side's vicious racism while proving their ability. They had already fought in every previous American war, but never in permanent units; faced with a manpower shortage, Lincoln overcame his reluctance and allowed black companies to form—though some had to assemble and march in secret to avoid civilian riots. Quoting frequently from contemporary sources, Hansen describes their recruitment, their struggle for proper pay, supplies, and training, and their heroic performance in dozens of actions. She contends that, for them, the war had no complex causes: first, last and always, it was a crusade against slavery. Her methodical, well-documented study is ranges wider than Cox's Undying Glory (about the Massachusetts 54th Regiment). Murky b&w photos and reproductions; notes; substantial bibliography; index. (Nonfiction. 12+)

FUTUREDAZE
AN ANTHOLOGY OF YA SCIENCE FICTION
edited by Hannah Strom-Martin ; Erin Underwood ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 12, 2013
A low-wattage collection of original stories and poems, as unmemorable as it is unappealingly titled.
The collection was inspired by a perceived paucity of short science fiction for teen readers, and its production costs were covered by a Kickstarter campaign. The editors gather a dozen poems and 21 stories from a stable of contributors who, after headliners Jack McDevitt and Nancy Holder, will be largely unknown even to widely read fans of the genre. The tales place their characters aboard spacecraft or space stations, on other worlds or in future dystopias, but only rarely do the writers capture a credibly adolescent voice or sensibility. Standouts in this department are the Heinlein-esque "The Stars Beneath Our Feet," by Stephen D. Covey & Sandra McDonald, about a first date/joyride in space gone wrong, and Camille Alexa's portrait of a teen traumatized by a cyberspace assault ("Over It"). Along with a few attempts to craft futuristic slang, only Lavie Tidhar's fragmentary tale of Tel Aviv invaded by successive waves of aliens, doppelgangers, zombies and carnivorous plants ("The Myriad Dangers") effectively lightens the overall earnest tone. Aside from fictional aliens and modified humans, occasional references to dark skin ("Out of the Silent Sea," Dale Lucas) are the only signs of ethnic diversity. Most of the free-verse poetry makes only oblique, at best, references to science-fictional themes.

During a Fox News Channel town hall on Monday, Sanders said that he'd increased his income by publishing a book — he's written two with campaign themes — and that he wouldn't apologize for that.
Warren, who has also already released her 2018 tax returns, made public 10 years of tax information last year. Harris released 15 years of tax returns over the weekend. Klobuchar released her 2018 tax return on Monday.


In addition to serving the intended purpose of finding treasured books, I loved rummaging through the cards to see their history: Beautiful handwritten scripts, penciled in notes, vintage typewriter imprints and curious abstracts. The act of searching the physical assets was a different kind of discovery – many times a serendipitous one. Think about it – catalog cards themselves have a long and storied history.
According to Wikipedia, in 1789, the French began collecting the books from churches. They used them to build a system of public libraries and began creating an inventory. In 1815, an English inventor began using a similar system to manage his sprawling book collection. His methodology with the catalog cards has been recorded as the first practical use of the system. Kind of like an early search engine.
By the turn of the 21st century, nearly all libraries converted to a digital system. With shelf and storage space at a minimum, along with the tedious process of updating the cards, a virtual option was much more practical.
Original catalog cards are available on Etsy, Ebay and through estate sales while reproductions such as postcards, note cards, magnets sets and the like abound. The card cabinets are now expensive collectors' items and have been repurposed in many creative ways.
Nothing will replace the tactile search for books or resources in a dingy corner of a your local library, but if you love to search, there's always the behemoth database that is WorldCat.
For fans of the old card catalog system, at least its components live on.
