The sun is out my friends! Vancouver has been basking in beautiful sunshine (with some rain tossed in there for good measure of course) and it has been incredible!! On the weekend I had a chance to go down to Tower Beach and bask in all of its beauty... I must say, it's good to be home!
The walk down to the beach is absolutely beautiful! Lots of stairs to come back up, but it's soooo worth it!
I actually wore bare legs for the first time this year! I wasn't even cold! (I will tell you later how I made my painfully white legs look like they had a nice bronze going on)
Now the view from the beach...
It's a great place to watch the sun set.
Or to do your warrior series =)
Hope you are basking in the sunshine wherever you are today.

We spend a few days at Quinta do Monteverde, from time to time, and it had been a while. Everytime we go there, there is something new, planned by our dear and restless hosts Fátima and Zé to enhance the marvellous comfort and quiet of the place. This time, it was the renewed dining room, installed in the centuries old "lagar" (wine or olive press). The decoration is impressive, in the line of the main house's elegant but comfortable furniture, and the food was really excellent, up to high standards of the portuguese northern cuisine.
I guess the only thing that has remained the same along these years is the wonderful hospitality of the couple. Definitely a must for anyone wanting to enjoy the living of a family "solar" and forget about *all* the problems of life. For those happy with *almost*, they do have Internet ...
In that case, I'd surf by the swimming pool :-)
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- This manor house was built in the 16th and 17th centuries by the Cunha Lobo Barbosa and Sottomayor family just 1 km from the sea. In 1820, the Genoese Judge Luigi Vital Monteverdi married the owner of the estate and the house became to be known as Quinta do Monteverde. The manor house was completely renovated but the interior retains the touch of the seventeen hundreds. Quinta de Monteverde is a walled estate between the hills and the sea and close to the river mouth. In Castelo do Neiva, the sandy beach rolls on and on; sand dunes and unspoilt stretches lend a wonderful sense of isolation to the surroundings. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Hotels.com, Travelocity, Booking.com, Orbitz, Otel, Cancelon, Hotwire, Cheap Tickets and TripOnline SA so you can book your Quinta do Monteverde reservations with confidence.

White’s Weaving: A new life for old denim
Rows and rows of jeans line every used clothing store and donation center in Indiana. The blue jean has become the standard American uniform, in part due to it’s durability and versatility. The average American owns around 7 pairs of jeans and denim represents a $15.4 billion industry, according to The NPD Group/Consumer Tracking Service.
In the US, we throw away 12.4 million tons of textiles and footwear every year by EPA estimates; that’s about 68 pounds per household. Only 1.3 million tons are recycled, as rags, paper, insulation, or even building materials.
It is encouraging to see efforts to reduce textile waste by getting more life out of America’s favorite fabric. This just what Dean and Mary Ann White are doing with their weaving. At White’s Weaving, they turn jeans bound for the landfill from Goodwill and Salvation Army into beautiful woven rugs. They cut the jeans into strips to prepare them, removing buttons and rivets, and make a variety of sizes of rugs at their business right in Paoli, Indiana. They also pick up used chenille bedspreads which wind up as attractive fuzzier rugs in a variety of soft pastels. You can get in touch with the Whites at 812-723-2326 to inquire about purchasing your own rugs or you can look for them at the Orleans Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings.
Keeping textiles out of landfills isn’t just good waste management, it also helps fight climate change: if everyone in the US recycled their clothing instead of tossing them in the trash, it would save 30.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per year. Recycling just one pair of jeans has the impact of recycling 69 plastic water bottles. And that’s an impact we’d be thrilled to stand on!

The Nug Nation Is Your New Favorite Animation
You read it here first: The Nug Nation is going to be huge. Weed and comedy (and weed and animation) are a match made in heaven.
While cannabis users and the industry at large are trying hard to change the image of the herb, sometimes we need to just sit back, relax, and have a good laugh. If you want to see a hilarious and incredibly detailed animation, you need to watch the Nug Nation.
The next big underground cult sensation
If you like irreverent, scathing comedy like South Park, the dark humor of Adult Swim, or the hilarity of great stop-motion animation favorites like “Celebrity Death Match” or “Robot Chicken”, then you have found your new obsession. With cannabis buds transformed into charismatic characters and their own unique take on the latest news and culture, these nugs might just become your new “bud-dies.”
One of the funniest things about the Nugs is their hidden plays on words and brands throughout the show, like Gnarlbro and Blazerade. Even better, each character is made to represent a different strain, and made of it too! From Afghan haze to Diesel, White Widow to OG Kush, watch your favorite smokes come alive as walking, talking weed!
A new cannabis community
You read it here first: The Nugs are going to be big. Weed and comedy (and weed and animation) are a match made in heaven. You can reminisce on your childhood days in a wake and bake daze with the cartoon show designed just for adult stoners.
The Nug Nation: A great market in the making
Mikey Peterson, creator of the Nug Nation, spoke to us about his vision for the little guys.
We wanted to create something new and fresh, and we also saw an opportunity to fill a void with content that’s completely unique. We’re excited to position ourselves as a leader in cannabis content production and creative marketing.
Rest assured, a lot of people are going to fall in love with the crazy characters of this cannabis comedy, and if you happen to have a product or service that needs some mass exposure, then marketing with Nug Nation might just be a great way to get it. Judge for yourself. Watch the pilot episode and try not to choke on a bong hit. It hurts.
Are you wanting to see more episodes of the Nug Nation as much as I am? These guys are hilarious! Share your favorite hidden jokes and strains with us on social media or in the comments below. Who knows? Maybe your suggestion might just become a new character!

HASTINGS Deering (PNG) Limited yesterday continued their commitment by donating K10,000 to the PNG Paralympics team to prepare for the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, India later this year.
PNG Paralympics Committee honourary president Dr Kefu Ma said the money would go towards the training camp of its elite squad members.
He said the PNG Paralympics team would start their training on Feb 22 at National Sports Institute (NSI) in Goroka, Eastern Highlands province, and the money would greatly help them.
Dr Ma said the company started sponsoring the PNG Paralympics in 2007 with K5,000, the following year, they gave K10,000 and last year, another K15,000 was given to support the team.
He said apart from training at the NSI, the PNG Paralympics Committee would also prepare teams to take part in the Australia championships and later send a team to World Powerlifting Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in July.
Dr Ma said on behalf of the president Bernard Chan and the patron of the PNG Paralympics Committee Dame Carol Kidu, he sincerely thanked Hastings Deering for their continued support.
The PNG Paralympics Sports had never acquired any sponsorship until Francis Kompaon proved all wrong by winning a silver medal at the Beijing Paralympics Games to raise the profile of the sport.

The trusted source for
healthcare information and
Fit isn't the only factor for HCWs
Tolerability is a major concern
The search for a better respirator continues. For health care workers, the difficulties with respiratory protection extend beyond the question of fit. They also struggle with tolerability and comfort throughout a shift.
In a study of healthcare workers who were asked to wear a respirator for the full duration of an 8-hour work shift, there was a probability as high as 59% that they would be unable to wear the respirator to the end of the shift. Their complaints included diminished speech communication, heat, pressure, and dizziness.1
The Veterans Health Administration in collaboration with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), are now collaborating with manufacturers to design a respirator specifically for health care – one that health care workers would be willing to wear throughout a shift, if necessary.
Project B.R.E.A.T.H.E. (Better Respiratory Equipment using Advanced Technologies for Healthcare Employees) aims to produce a prototype respirator within a year or two, says Lewis J. Radonovich, MD, and director of Biosecurity Programs for the Office of Program Development at the North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System in Gainesville, FL.
Meanwhile, Radonovich is also coordinating a major study that will compare the use of respirators and surgical masks to prevent the spread of influenza and influenza-like illness. They study will recruit thousands of health care workers at multiple sites who will wear respirators or masks during patient care with patients diagnosed with flu or ILI for a 12-week period. The study will run for three or four years, Radonovich says.
"A variety of professional groups are interested in how well surgical masks perform against respiratory masks with infections such as the flu," he says. "The scientific and public health community would like to see results that are more definitive than what's out there."
The H1N1 pandemic that began last year prompted a new wave of debate about respiratory protection for influenza. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised hospitals and health care providers to use NIOSH-certified respirators with the novel virus. The professional organizations of infection control practitioners insisted that surgical masks were adequate for influenza.
"N95 respirators are not superior to surgical masks in the prevention of transmission of influenza in most patient care settings," the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA), the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), and the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) said in a letter to President Obama, requesting a moratorium on U.S. Occupational Safety and Health enforcement of the CDC respiratory protection guideline.
At presstime for HEH, CDC was widely expected to alter its recommendation and allow the use of surgical masks to prevent transmission of H1N1 in hospitals – largely because of the widespread availability of a vaccine.

With nearly 20% of the population living below the poverty line, we are seeing an increase in people relying on smartphones to stay connected.
This is a critical time in their lives, and they are often relying on their cell phones to keep up with their work, socializing, or other life-sustaining activities.
Many people are taking advantage of the low cost of mobile services to save money on their mobile bills.
In a previous article, we highlighted the following tips for saving money on mobile bills: Download the free app Get your hands on the app, which is available for iOS and Android phones.
Download and install the iPhone app.
Download the Android app and install it on your phone.
Get your cell phones and find out which mobile carrier you use.
Use the calculator on the bottom of this article to see if your bills are eligible for any of these savings.
What to look for in the app: Whether you are looking to save for your next trip or are just interested in seeing how much you are saving, you will find the app lists out all the monthly and yearly data fees, as well as the monthly billing cycle.
It is also worth noting that the app will not only list the monthly fees but also the monthly credit card charge that the carrier is offering you.
If you have any questions about these charges, you can check with your carrier.
When you first download the app you will get the following screen: The screen shows the current balance, and it will also give you an option to reset your account.
It will ask you if you would like to delete any information from your account, and if you agree, you are free to do so.
The resetting screen is important to remember: if you reset your credit card, your credit will be reset too.
It is important that you do this right away because the card will not work for the rest of your life.
If the app does not help you find out what charges are included in your bill, you should use the calculator to find out.
After you click on the Reset button, the app is now sending a text message with the following message: “We have received your request and will contact you once your payment is confirmed.
Thank you for contacting us.”
If you do not receive the text, you may have left the app and it is possible that your account has not been cleared correctly.
If you are not seeing the resetting text, try sending a message to your cell provider to confirm that your cell number is in good working order.
If your cell numbers are not working, try contacting your cell carrier and asking for a refund.
If that does not work, try emailing your carrier to get a refund request.
Keep in mind that the bill you are trying to pay is not always the bill that you are actually paying.
Some bills are more complex than others, and you can save even more money by simply looking up the bill in a spreadsheet and looking for the exact charge.
How to check if you are in good credit and how to make the necessary changes to your account: When you are done with the app review, click on “Add to Cart” and then “Checkout.”
This will open a screen that will let you make any necessary changes.
You can then check out and make your next payment.
The amount you will be charged depends on how much money you have in your account and how long it will take to pay.
If this process is successful, you might have to wait for your payment to clear, or your bill to be sent to your credit bureau.
If it is not, you have to check with the credit card company to see whether they have the right information to send you the bill.
We have not been able to confirm if the app has already worked for you, but we can tell you that it does work and that it has been a very successful solution.
This app is an awesome way to save on your mobile phone and will be a great way to help people save money for travel, school, and other things.

A snapshot of my tour plan:
I would like to give some snapshots of my recent visit to Hubli – Badami – Pattadakal – Aihole – Hampi etc. (December, 2023). I had visited these places during a study visit along with a group of 27 Under Secretaries of Central Secretariat Service Cadre who are going to be promoted as Deputy Secretary to the Government of India (GOI). This programme was organized by the Institute of Secretariat and Training Management (ISTM), New Delhi. It is premier Training Institute for shaping the future of this great country by providing training and improving skills of the Central Secretariat Service Officers who are the backbone of the Government of India. These officers are working in different Ministries/ Departments of GOI like Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Rural Development, Department of Personnel & Training and NITI Aayog etc.
DAY– 1: New Delhi – Hubli – Badami
We arrived at Hubli Airport and proceeded to Badami which is about 110 KM from the Airport and took around 2 hours and 15 minutes.
The Badami region was settled in pre-historic times, as is evidenced by megalithic dolmens. ‘Badami’, formerly known as ‘Vatapi’, was the royal capital of the Badami Chalukyas from 540 to 757 AD. It is famous for its rock cut monuments i.e., Badami cave temples and structural temples i.e., Bhutanatha temples, Badami Shivalaya and Jambulingesvara temple. It is located in a gorge at the foot of a rugged, red sandstone ridge that surrounds Agastya Lake which is a man-made lake.
Badami has been selected as one of the heritage cities for HRIDAY – Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana scheme of Government of India.
Under the Badami Chalukyas, Badami emerged as one of the regional centres of art in the Malprabha valley – a cradle of Hindu and Jain temple architecture schools. The caves at Badami are based on themes depicting, Tandava Dance by lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, and his carnations. Both Dravida and Nagara styles of temples are found in Badami, along with those in Aihole, Pattadakal and Mahakuta.
Badami has eighteen inscriptions, with important historical information. The first Sanskrit inscription in old Kannada script, on a hillock dates back to 543 AD, from the period of Pulakeshin-I (Vallabheswara), the second is the 578 AD cave inscription of Mangalesha in Kannada language and script and the third is the Kappe Arabhatta records, the earliest available Kannada poetry in tripadi (three line) metre. One inscription near the Bhuthanatha temple also has inscriptions dating back to the 12th century in Jain rock-cut temple dedicated to the Tirtankara Adinatha.
The Badami cave temples were likely fully painted inside by the late 6th century. Most of these paintings are now lost, except for the mural fragments, bands and faded sections found in Cave 3 (Vaishnava, Hindu) and Cave 4 (Jain). The original murals are most clearly evidenced in Cave 3, where inside the Vishnu temple, there are paintings of secular art as well as murals that depict legends of Shiva and Parvati on the ceiling and in parts less exposed to the natural elements. These are among the earliest known paintings of Hindu legends in India.
DAY– 2 : Badami – Pattadakal – Aihole – Hampi
We visited Bhutanatha Group of Temples at Badami, Grand Vipruksha Temple at Pattadakal which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. We also visited 5th Century stone temples at Aihole, Anegundi village and Anjaneya Hills.
Butanatha Temple, Agastya Lake, Badami
The Bhutanatha group of temples are 7th to 12th century Hindu temples to the east of Agastya Lake in Badami, Karnataka, India. It consists of two subgroups – one called the East Bhutanatha group or Bhutanatha main group from 7th to 8th century mostly in the Dravida architecture style; the other called the Mallikarjuna group from 11th to 12th century in the Nagara architecture.
Bhutanatha Main Group of Temples:
The Bhutanatha main group (700–725 CE) is the older set of Hindu shrines to the east of the Agastya Teertha. The oldest temple in this group is the main large three storeys temple made in the Dravida-style. They are just a kilometre away from Badami Cave Temples.
Mallikarjuna Group of Temples:
The Mallikarjuna group is close to the main Bhutanatha group, but located on the north back of the man-made lake. It consists of several temples having pyramidal superstructure made in the 11th to 12th century phamsana Nagara style. The largest temple likely was a Vishnu temple. The artwork found in this group includes both Vishnu and Shiva.
We climbed the stones and reached to hilltop to see the mesmerising sunrise around 6.40 AM. It was a kind of trekking which started from the Bhutanatha Temple, Badami.
If you succeed in reaching the top of the hills, you will never forget the experience of this whole exercise throughout your life. You may feel calm environment, fresh air, fresh water streams and may feel purity and clean nature around you.
Magnificent view from Badami Hilltop
This journey will ignite your mind; keep your mind busy in finding so many answers and also about the dedication of our ancient builders for making these carvings in caves, even in and around the hilltop stones. Why they made them? What was the purpose? What they wanted to tell us about their technology or the way they tear the rocks and made monolithic structures?
Pattadakal is about 23 KM from Badami which takes around 30 minutes to reach. While, Aihole, famous for Chalukya monuments, is just 10 KM away from here.
Pattadakal is also called as Raktapura, a UNESCO World Heritage site from the 7th and 8th centuries waiting for you. It consists of Hindu and Jain temples located on the west bank of the Malaprabha River in Bagalkot district. The monument site is protected under Indian law and is managed by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
UNESCO has described Pattadakal as “a harmonious blend of architectural forms from northern and southern India” and an illustration of “eclectic art” at its height. The Hindu temples are generally dedicated to Shiva, but elements of Vaishnavism and Shaktism theology and legends are also featured. The decorations in the Hindu temples display various Vedic and Puranic concepts; depict stories from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavata Purana, Panchatantra and the Kiratarjuniya.
Chalukyas used this place for coronation ceremonies. One of the main attractions at Pattadakal is Virupaksha Temple. Unparalleled craftsmanship at Virupaksha temple showcases the sculptures of Ugra Narshimha and Nataraja. Constructed by queen Lokamahadevi in the 8th century AD to celebrate her husband and King Vikramaditya’s victory over Pallavas.
Chalukyas used this place for coronation ceremonies. One of the main attractions at Pattadakal is Virupaksha Temple. Unparalleled craftsmanship at Virupaksha temple showcases the sculptures of Ugra Narshimha and Nataraja.
The other popular temples in the complex are Papanatha temple, Galaganatha Temple, Chandrashekara temple, Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Mallikarjuna Temple, Jambu Lingeshwara Temple, and Kadasiddeshwar Temple.
One of the most attractive events at Pattadakal is the Pattadakal Festival. A mesmerizing amalgamation of music and dance with Pattadakal temples in the backdrop makes the festival a visual treat for the spectators.
Aihole, famous for Chalukya monuments, is just 10 KM away from Patadakkal and 140 km away from Hampi which takes about 2 and a half hours to reach by road. Aihole, also referred to as Aivalli, Ahivolal or Aryapura, is a historic site of ancient and medieval era Buddhist, Hindu and Jain monuments. This is a cluster of around 120 temples made from the 4th century AD, along the Malaprabha river valley in Northern Karnataka.
Aihole was the first capital of Chalukyas which is also known as the ‘cradle of Indian Rock Architecture’. A place near the Meguti hillocks has prehistoric dolmens and cave paintings which shows evidence of human settlement in the pre-historic period.
Durga Temple is the most popular one which has an art gallery and an archaeological Museum. Durga Temple is a misleading name, according to one theory; it stands near the ruins of a fort-like enclosure or durg so it was named as Durga Temple. It was originally dedicated to Hindu gods Surya and Vishnu. Its iconic apsidal layout is similar to 2nd or 1st century BCE Buddhist Chaitya halls found in Ajanta Caves.
Ravana Phadi Cave is one of the oldest rock-cut cave temples in Aihole, located less than a kilometer uphill, northeast from the Durga temple complex. The temple dates to the 6th century. It has an image of Ardhanarishvara portraying the equivalence and essential interdependence of the masculine left Shiva and feminine right Parvati. It also has Harihara portraying a fused image of Shaivism and Vaishnavism, with left Shiva and right Vishnu.
A partly rock-cut two-storeyed Buddhist temple, few steps below the crest of the hill is located on Meguti hill. In front of the temple is a damaged Buddha statue, one without a head, probably taken out from inside the temple.
Four collections of about ten Jain monuments from the 6th to 12th century CE found on the Meguti hill, Chanranthi matha, Yoginarayana complex and an early Jain cave temple. The Meghuti hill north-facing Jain temple is dedicated to Jain Tirthankara Mahavira.
The other famous temples are Hucchappayya gudi, Ambigergudi temples, Ramalingeshvara temples, Kuntigudi, Triyambakeshvara Temple, Mallikarjuna Temple, Tarabasappa temple and Jyotirlinga Temple.
In Kannada, Anegundi means Elephant Gorge. Anegundi village, previously known as Kishkindha, is older than Hampi situated on the northern bank of the Tungabhadra River in Gangavathi, Koppal district.
Maurya Mane a Stone Age colony which is thousands of years old is situated in this village and is part of the Neolithic history. This village is a living heritage site which has traces of Microlithic, Megalithic, and Neolithic Ages. Geologists say that this place is around four billion years old.
Pre-historic rock shelters and paintings are found in the Tungabhadra River valley. There is a prehistoric settlement called Onake Kindi. The boulders have rock art, with some red and white markings depicting figures of humans and bulls. On another boulder, there is a circular diagram like a sun and moon with some symbolism.
The rock paintings belonged to the Iron Age, dating back to 1500 BC; the faded circular painting is a very rare depiction of a megalithic style of burial, which includes a human body in the middle surrounded by a stone circle and burial goods.
Anjaneyadri or Anjaneya Hill, the birthplace of the monkey-god Hanuman, and the mountain Rishimuka are nearby places affiliated with Ramayana. Pampa Sarovar is related to Shiva and Parvati, both of whom were featured in Ramayana; Sabari, a devotee of Rama met here, the legends of Ramayana are pervading around Anegundi. The pilgrims consider Pampa Sarovar a holy place. Nimvapuram, a nearby village to Anegundi, has a mount of ash believed to be the cremated remains of the monkey king Baali.
Anegundi history dates back to 3rd century BC, when the city was under the Ashoka Empire. Anegundi was ruled by various dynasties like Shatavahanas, Kadambas, Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Delhi Sultanate, Vijayanagara Empire and Bahamanis.
Anegundi has a fort with many gates. There is a Ganesha cave temple. Vijayanagar kings used to pray before every battle at the Durga temple, and visited the Pampa Sarovar and Shri Lakshmi temple. Royal descendants of the Vijayanagar Empire still exist in Anegundi.
DAY– 3: Hampi
We visited Hampi which is a world heritage site declared by UNESCO. It is also the “World’s largest Open air Museum”. We visited Narsimha Temple, Stone Chariot, Virupaksha Temple and did boating in Tungabhadra River. We also visited Atal Bihari Vajpayee Zoological Park, Hampi, Karnataka.
From Aihole, we went to Hampi which is about 140 KM and we covered it in 3 hours. It is famous for Group of Monuments, its historic significance, heritage, temples, ruins, and exquisite craftsmanship. Hampi is mentioned in the Ramayana and the Puranas of Hinduism as Pampa-kshetra (Pampa is another name of the goddess Parvati) or Kishkindha-kshetra. It continues to be a religious centre, with the Virupaksha Temple, Ugranarsimha Vigraha, Vitthala Temple and other various monuments.
Hampi was the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire from 1336 to 1565. It was a fortified city. Persian, European and Portuguese travellers say that Hampi was a prosperous, wealthy and grand city near the Tungabhadra River, with numerous temples, farms and trading markets. By 1500 CE, Hampi-Vijayanagara was the world’s second-largest city, after Beijing, and probably India’s richest at that time, attracting traders from Persia and Portugal.
The site was an early medieval era pilgrimage place known as Pampakshetra. Its fame came from the Kishkindha chapters of the Hindu epic Ramayana, where Rama and Lakshmana meet Hanuman, Sugriva and the monkey army in their search for kidnapped Sita. The Hampi area has many close resemblances to the place described in the epic.
Emperor Ashoka’s Rock Edicts (269-232 BCE) found in Nittur and Udegolan, Bellary district suggest that this region was the part Maurya Empire during the 3rd century BCE. A Brahmi inscription and a terracotta seal dating to about the 2nd century CE have been found during site excavations.
The Virupaksha temple is the oldest shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva, known here as Virupaksha/ Pampa pathi. It is the principal destination for pilgrims and tourists, and remains an active Hindu worship site. The temple attracts large crowds on the occasion of an annual fête with a chariot procession to mark the marriage of Virupaksha and Pampa which is held in spring, as is the solemn festival of Maha Shivaratri.
The Vitthala temple and market complex is about 3 kilometres from the Virupaksha temple near the banks of the Tungabhadra River. It is the most artistically sophisticated Hindu temple in Hampi. The Vitthala temple has a Garuda shrine in the form of a stone chariot in the courtyard; it is an often-pictured symbol of Hampi. The iconic Stone Chariot, the image of which can be seen on a 50 rupee note in Indian Currency, is taken from here.
The Hemakuta hill lies between the Virupaksha temple complex to the north and the Krishna temple to the south. The hill has more than thirty small-to-moderate-sized temples, together with water cisterns, gateways, and secular pavilions. The Hemakuta hill also has monuments with two monolithic Ganesha; the Kadalekalu Ganesha and the Sasivekalu Ganesha.
Reliefs of Jain temples at Hampi include Hemkut Jain temples, Ratnantraykut, Parsvanath Charan and Ganagitti Jain temples. The Ganigitti Jain temple is near Bhima’s gate is dedicated to Tirthankara Kunthunatha. Some other Jain Temples dedicated to Parshvanatha and Mahavira.
DAY– 4: Hampi – Hubli.
We visited Hampi Museum, Queen’s Bath Palace, Royal Enclosure (Huge Stone Gates), Dusshera Stage (Raj Mandap), Step well (Bawdi), Hazara Ramachandra Temple, Zenana Enclosure (Queen’s Palace), Jal Mahal, Lotus Mahal and Elephant stable. You can visit Tungabhadra Dam & Park before leaving this area.
The Archaeological Museum, Hampi is situated in Kamalapura which has a rich collection of sculptures, statues, relics and artefacts collected from various locations of the Vijayanagara ruins. It is also a treasure trove of architectural pieces, artifacts, relics, coins, tools, miniature paintings, ivory items, copper plates and many more.
In 1520, Domingo Paes, a Portuguese traveller, visited Vijayanagara as a part of trade contingent from Portuguese Goa. He wrote his memoir as ‘Chronica dos reis de Bisnaga’, in which he stated Vijayanagara was “as large as Rome, and very beautiful to the sight … the best provided city in the world”.
Because of resembles of lotus flower, it is called Lotus Mahal or Kamal Mahal or Chitragani Mahal which is located within the Zanana enclosure. It was used by the women of the Vijayanagara Dynasty for recreational activities and to spend leisure time. This monument stands with minimal damage.
The other attractions include Hazara Rama temple, its walls have the carvings of entire Ramayana but some carvings belong to Krishna, Kodandarama temple and riverside monuments, Pattabhirama temple complex which has Mahanavami platform, also called the “Great Platform”, “Audience Hall”, “Dasara” or “Mahanavami Dibba” monument, the Square Water Pavilion, also called the Queen’s Bath, square-stepped well etc.
DAY–5: Hubli –Departure
Here, it is a suggestion; you can leave Hampi for Hubli on day 4 in the evening and stay in Hubli or you may also leave Hampi for Hubli Airport in the morning on day-5 which is about 170 KM.

For this week’s over 2.5 goals treble we are looking at a promotion-chasing Championship side and two German clubs sitting in the Champions League places to come up with the goals that will give readers a win at odds of 273/100. That means anyone using their free £25 bet from bwin would win just over £93 if the tips proved successful.
West Ham v Hull City – Over 2.5 Goals @ 3/4
West Ham need to win to stand any chance of pipping Southampton to the second automatic promotion place in the Championship and they will want to end a turbulent season on a high in front of their own fans. Their last three home matches have produced a massive six goals apiece, with the Hammers scoring all six without reply against Brighton last time out. The other two results were a 4-2 defeat and 3-3 draw and West Ham have only kept two clean sheets in their last ten home matches, meaning Hull have a good chance of getting in on the goalscoring act. With this in mind, over 2.5 looks a certainty in this one.
Schalke v Hertha Berlin – Over 2.5 Goals @ 1/2
Over to Germany for our second selection and Champions League-chasing Schalke, who need to win to hold on to third place going into the final round of fixtures. They have been strong at home all season but a recent loss to newly-confirmed champions Dortmund means they need to bounce back here. In their last 13 Bundesliga home games only two matches have produced under 2.5 goals and they average 2.68 goals per game on their own. Hertha have scored three goals in two of their last three away matches in the German top flight and they need to win here to stand any chance of avoiding relegation. Probably unlikely, but their need to score goals will certainly open up the game and hopefully see a real goalfest. Back over 2.5 goals to be scored.
Bayern Munich v Stuttgart – Over 2.5 Goals @ 21/50
Bayern Munich may be suffering from a Champions League hangover and the disappointment of finishing second to Borussia Dortmund so Stuttgart will fancy their chances at the Allianz Arena and may come out on top in a goalscoring thriller. Bayern failed to score in their last home match for the first time in nine games but during that run they scored more than once on all occasions. On average they have scored almost three goals per game at home this season while Stuttgart have scored in all of their previous ten away games and on more than one occasion in eight of those matches. The result of this match is hard to predict but goals look assured.
The treble will return at odds of 273/100 with bwin, which means new customers who sign up for a new account can use their free £25 bet to win £93.25 if it comes off.

A new study from sustainable energy think tank the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) has stressed the need for encouraging walking and cycling if the transport sector is to cut its carbon emissions in line with government targets.
The report is seen as a direct response to a recent government announcement that it will encourage electric cars by providing a £5,000 subsidy per vehicle from 2011.
The report said the government had to tackle driver behaviour as well as car technology to reduce transport emissions. Cycling should be encouraged by re-allocating road space for its use and car use discouraged by such measures as taxes and levies.
Jillian Anable, head of transport research at UKERC, welcomed the idea of electric cars but said they alone were not the answer. “They’re being billed as policies to affect the low-carbon car market and that’s very one-dimensional. [The government needs] a set of policies around low-carbon transport transformation so the grants that we see need to be more widely […] targeted to low-carbon travel behaviour.”
Road transport accounts for 22 percent of the UK’s total carbon emissions, with more than half of that coming from cars. The UKERC report looked at more than 500 international studies examining different policies aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions from road transport. .
To enable really significant emissions reductions, Anable said that government should encourage people to reduce their overall dependence on cars by walking or cycling more, working from home or joining car clubs, where several people share a pool of vehicles. “In future, people need to change the types of journeys they’re making, not just the mode they’re travelling on, not just the technologies of their vehicles. That means the length and destination of journeys, and so on.”
If shorter journeys were undertaken by bike and foot to the degree they are in many Northern European countries this could reduce UK transport emissions by some 6 percent – or even more if planning policies were introduced to help reduce distances to vital services – the report stated. The report specifically criticised the government for failing to calculate the potential carbon reducing effects of pro-bike policies.
Friends of the Earth’s transport campaigner Tony Bosworth believed the UKERC report was “further evidence that we need a green transport revolution. Low carbon cars, though important, are not enough to tackle transport’s contribution to climate change — we must also change how and how much we travel. The RAC revealed this week that people use their cars for over three quarters of journeys between two and three miles long — with proper facilities in place, there’s no reason why these journeys couldn’t easily be made by bus, bicycle or on foot.”
A Department for Transport spokesperson said: “We agree that in order to tackle climate change we need to do more than support electric cars. That is why in addition to the £400m to encourage development and uptake of ultra-low emission vehicles, we also spend £2.5bn a year on buses, £140m on cycling and require local authorities to factor in the impact on the environment when developing their transport strategies.”


Blue, gery, clay-like colour that will go with anything. The finish is drier and crisper than traditional oilskins with a matt appearance. Unlike normal oilskin, there would be no oil transfer so you don’t need to line your garment or bag. This type of oilskin is water resistant, so this means that the water doesn’t completely run off it, but it won’t come through to the other side either. That being said, this is not to be used in a torrential downpour in Fiordland – although we’d like to hear back from anyone who does try this. Ideal for bags, accessories and any type of coat, jacket, parka etc.

- Care: We recommend not washing oilskin, the mill advises that it can be hand washed, but bear in mind you would lose its water-repellent finish. If you wash this cloth, you will need to re-proof it using our reproofing spray. Use a cool iron or just a finger press.

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has admitted he considered his future at the Emirates after losing the Premier League title to Manchester City last season.
The Gunners almost ended their 19-year wait to win the title after staying top for over 240 days.
However, Arteta’s men suffered a late collapse, winning just three of their final nine games.
City went on to win the title for a third consecutive year.
Arteta has now spoken of his hurt at losing out to his mentor Pep Guardiola and how he almost walked away.
“The first few weeks were very tough, because I went through it.
“The first thing you have to do is look in the mirror and understand, ‘ok, is there something you should have done better, differently?’ And if that’s the case, learn from it.
“And then judge yourself: ‘Are you still the right person to drive the club, the team, forward in the way that you want and do you have that energy and that belief that you want to do it?’
“I think it took a big reflection but the answer is ‘yes’ and I feel with a lot of energy and positivity. But I don’t like losing and it takes me a while, and that was a tough moment,” he said.

Kanye West has faced many problems in the last month due to his anti-Semitic remarks and negative comments on social media and in interviews. Since then, some fans have regretted getting a tattoo inspired by the rapper.
Even though tattoos are permanent, a London-based studio offers a special deal for fans with Kanye West-inspired ink.
Tattoo removal studio NAAMA shared a post on their official Instagram account, offering fans free removal of Kanye tattoos.
They wrote in the caption:
“Yeezy come, yeezy go. Got a #kanyewest tattoo? Tag us.”
A few weeks ago, a fan named Alex Jones tweeted that he regretted getting an alternative cover art design tattoo of the rapper’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” album in 2016.
He was one of those who accepted NAAMA’s offer, telling Metro UK that it was depressing to see someone he adores start making negative comments about others.
Briony Garbett of the studio told the outlet that fans came to their studio and told them that getting a body ink dedicated to the “Donda” rapper was triggering and shameful for them.
“People with Kanye tattoos were coming to us and you could hear how triggering it was for them, how embarrassing and shameful they felt, given he’s been making the headlines for the wrong reasons.”
The offer follows West’s string of scandals in recent months, beginning with his “White Lives Matter” shirt at Paris Fashion Week during the Yeezy season 9 show.
He later posted screenshots of anti-Semitic messages on Instagram.
Since then, many brands, including Gap, The Creative Artists Agency, Balenciaga, TJ Maxx, Foot Locker, and the largest, Adidas, have ended their collaboration with hip-hop artists.
After the shoe company formally severed ties with West, Forbes estimated that the rapper is no longer a billionaire.
In an attempt to recoup his billions of dollars, the “Dark Fantasy” hitmaker set up a GoFundMe page, but according to Rolling Stone, the fundraising page was apparently taken down after only earning $5.

Hey all, I'm looking to buy some external storage which I will probably use for audio sample libraries, so I want it to be pretty speedy. How much of a difference will buffer size (2mb vs. 8mb) make for accessing audio files in complex directories? The drives I'm looking at are a Western Digital 250GB 8MB cache for around $250, and the LaCie FW800 Big Disk 320GB 2MB cache for around $350. Will having FW800 more than make up for a smaller cache? What are people's experiences with different cache sizes? (Interestingly, all the LaCie drives only seem to have 2mb caches except the 500GB big disk, and I've always pretty much understood them to be very desireable drives). Thanks!

The property has been sold. We were told new owners are closing the campground. Some sites are right along a street and get a lot of traffic noise. Our site was 24' wide some were even wider - lots of room for slides and awnings. Very close to some major attractions and restaurants. Sites were clean and well maintained. We camped at Barefoot Camping Resort in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
This is the second trip to Barefoot. We stayed creek side and it was great. Big site that was level. The staff at Barefoot gets the best rating due to an emergency with my son when he needed to go to the hospital. I could not contact my husband so I called the campsite and they found him right away and offered to give him a ride to the hospital. This shows me that they are always looking out for everyone's well being. This is a quiet campground and great for the family. You will love it as much as I do. Don't miss a great vacation, stay at Barefoot. We camped at Barefoot Camping Resort in a Travel Trailer.Undo
We arrived at our site after dark and had great difficulty trying to park our tow vehicle due to the extremely small site size. We were camping in a 30 foot Terry Dakota which is by far not the largest. On our way back out of the park to buy groceries, we stopped at the registration office to ask permission to park our truck in an empty golf cart lot across from our site for the night until we could "tweek" our trailer's position the next morning. The young lady working at the counter stated "that will be fine. I'll notify our security person that you'll be parked there." Upon returning from our grocery trip, we were confronted by a gentleman who commenced to berate me as if I were some kind of trash for parking in the golf cart area. I asked if he was the security person to which he replied very nastily: "No! I'm the General Manager!" I attempted to explain to him that we had checked with the registration office prior to parking to which he replied, "That girl had no authority to give you permission. I'll deal with her!" It became obvious that this man was a power crazy thug and had absolutely no common sense or tact in dealing with a situation that could have been resolved in a much better manner. I can understand having to be nasty with those whom the rules mean nothing but in our situation, any reasonable person could quickly see how unreasonable this guy was. I was so infuriated that I wanted to pull up stakes right then and leave but my wife convinced me to stay. We had planned too long and worked too hard to allow this jerk to be a "wet blanket." We'll never stay at this resort again and will be spreading the word of our incident. We camped at Barefoot Camping Resort in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Upon arrival we were greated by friendly management and directed to our site. We found ocean front sites to be small. You cannot see the ocean because of the high dunes you need to cross over. Beachfront sites are larger and accommodated our 40' motorhome. Each site has a sheltered picnic table. Sites to the side are better/larger than the ones in the middle. It had rained recently and the grassy areas had lots of standing water. Restrooms were clean with some sand (remember you're at the beach) and air conditioned. Dumpsters were not very well located - had to walk half way across the park to find one by the restrooms. Roads are well maintained but some turns in the front area where the semi-permanent trailer homes are located are a little snug for large rigs. The park was frequently patrolled for security. The beach was clean and we were not bothered by fireworks - you can be fined by the City of N Myrtle Beach for shooting off fireworks on the beach. The pool is small; the "lazy river" is tiny - best for little kids. We wanted to stay longer but ended up in the mandatory evacuation due to Hurricane Charley. We were VERY disappointed because management did not offer/give refunds for nights we had paid for and could not use due to the evacuation. We camped at Barefoot Camping Resort in a Motorhome.Undo
Overall, not a bad park. Getting in and out of our campsite was a little tight with our 26ft travel trailer behind crewcab duelly. Site was narrow and not level at all but looking around others seemed to be better. Indoor pool is very nice if you have kids and come in cool weather. They also have a small fitness room. If you camp in the shaded sites it is a LONG way to the beach. If you camp at the beach sites, it is a LONG way to the pool, fitness center, camp store, and office. Only $19 a night in October 2004. We camped at Barefoot Camping Resort in a Travel Trailer.Undo
We camped here in Sept 03 for four days. We were oceanfront and loved it. Quiet, clean
and friendly. We saw an ant hill near our site and the office staff were out there putting down ant killer within minutes and we did not have one problem with that. The bathrooms are very clean and air conditioned. The oceanfront sites are a little small but the other sites are big with a picnic table and shelter. Security patrols frequently and they cater to families and couples. The park is quiet at night. This is a great place to stay and we will be here again. Close to lots of eating and shopping. We camped at Barefoot Camping Resort in a Travel Trailer.
Sites are small for 40 ft. motor home and sites are all small. Check in personnel do not seem to care if you stay there or not as they will be able to rent the space. No grass just sand and if it rains lots of sand in motor home. Would most likely try another campground when we are in the area next. We camped at Barefoot Camping Resort in a camper.Undo
Our favorite beach campground. Restroom/showers are immaculate. Golf car rental is fun. Has two pools, one with lazy river. Some sites are shaded, others are ocean or marsh front. Excellent camping experience. We camped at Barefoot Camping Resort in a camper.Undo

Bariis surbiyan is a beautiful looking dish when placed on the table and it is tastes great too. I love the mix of spices and the crunchiness of caramelised onions that we use to decorate this dish.
Somalis make bariis surbiyan using various kinds of meat. In this recipe I have not used meat, which makes it a great option for vegetarians.
Serve on a plate and garnish with the caramelised onions. Bariis surbiyan goes well with any kind of meat or vegetable curry.
- 2 large onions cut into thin strips
- 1 kg of basmati rice
- 3 cardamoms
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tablespoon of cumin seeds
- ½ jalapeno chilli, diced with the seeds removed
- 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander
- 3 cloves of garlic, smashed
- Water – about three cups or enough to cover the rice
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 cube of Maggi or Knorr for stock (optional and don’t include if cooking for vegetarians!)
- Wash the rice and soak in water
- Fry the onions in the olive oil until brown and caramelised. Set aside.
- Blend or grind the cardamom, cinnamon and cumin to a fine powder
- Blend or grind the jalapeno chilli and coriander
- Cook the spices, jalapeno chilli and coriander in the remaining oil for a minute.
- Add the soaked rice, stock cube and add water, covering the rice three inches over.
- Cover the pot and simmer on medium heat until the water is reduced.
- Cook for a further 10 minutes on low heat or until the rice is cooked.

The Andrews Labor Government has confirmed the return of one of Victoria’s most popular cultural events, White Night Melbourne.
Premier Daniel Andrews and Minister for Tourism and Major Events John Eren today joined Lord Mayor Robert Doyle to announce that Melbourne will dazzle thanks to spectacular illuminations, theatre, special dining experiences and performances from dusk to dawn on February 20.
The all-night festival attracts hundreds of thousands to Melbourne’s CBD, as lights and lasers beam striking images and captivating colours across landmark buildings and city facades. Street performers and artists keep crowds entertained, and city retailers trade well into the night.
Some 1.3 million people have attended White Night Melbourne over three spectacular years, making it one of the most popular dates on Victoria’s impressive calendar of events. The 2015 instalment generated $16.8 million for Victoria’s economy – supporting jobs and growth.
White Night Melbourne is Australia’s contribution to the global phenomenon, Nuit Blanche, and Victoria is the only Australian state that offers the all-night event. Melbourne joins 23 cities worldwide, including Paris, Toronto and Sao Paolo.
Mr Andrews also launched an Expression of Interest period for artists, performers and the creative community to be involved in White Night Melbourne 2016.
It’s a great chance for local artists to showcase their talents to a global audience. More than 1600 creative industries artists took part this year, and more than 1500 were Victorians.
Quotes attributable to Premier of Victoria Daniel Andrews
“White Night shows what our city is all about, and we’re making sure it’s here to stay for families and friends to enjoy.”
“Victoria is the major events capital and next year’s festival will be a spectacular like no other.”
Quotes attributable to Minister for Tourism and Major Events John Eren
“There’s simply no place like Melbourne for a world-renowned festival and no place like Victoria for major events.”
“White Night helps keep our businesses busy, our economy strong and our city on the must visit map of millions.”

Love makes us all feel funny. That sense of giddy disorientation, unsinkable bliss and complete fixation with a new love can be so overwhelming, that it's difficult to envision it's all about feeling. While the results barely make love less mysterious, they do begin to shed light on why it can make people feel so funny.
Helen Fisher, a research study professor of sociology at Rutgers University, is among many researchers who believe the flush of a brand-new love is enhanced by natural stimulants in the dopamine, brain and norepinphrine . She explains that high levels of these natural chemicals can make people lose their appetites and their desire for sleep, simply by believing about their new infatuations. "These are fundamental qualities commonly connected with romantic love and with these natural stimulants," she says. "What else could describe the way you constantly consider a individual, about the way you desire to read them your bad poetry?"
"When a individual is passionately in love, it is intriguing and incredibly interesting , and if the liked one is not there, traumatic," states Volkow. "The reality that drug addiction and enthusiastic love may activate the same reactions, signals to Volkow that drug dependency is particularly dangerous since it taps into a natural experience.
STIRRING THE BRAIN
She mentions that current research studies reveal the exact same regions of the brain consisting of the frontal cortex which is triggered when a druggie is high and when someone in love is looking at a photo of a liked one. Researchers at University College in London just recently tape-recorded modifications in the brains of individuals who explained themselves as " really and madly" in love. The researchers, Andreas Bartels you could check here and Semir Zeki used a functional magnetic resonance imager to scan the brains of 17 lovehappy volunteers. When the team revealed volunteers images of their fans, the outcomes were remarkable. Four little areas of the brain illuminated immediately the exact same locations that have been shown to react to euphoria-inducing drugs.
Old good friends, apparently, do not quite trigger the exact same stir. Fisher is conducting comparable studies and is scanning the brain activity of individuals recently in love.
3 STAGES OF LOVE
As a lot of know; however, the rush individuals feel from new love generally does not last permanently. And Fisher is also thinking about understanding the biological stimulants and anthropological explanations for all phases of love.
She argues that there are three main phases to a love relationship: desire, romantic love and attachment. The very first, she says, is "to get you looking for anything" and is driven by hormones like testosterone.
The romantic love stage, which develops the brain chemical responses described by the London researchers, serves to " require you to focus your breeding energy on one person at a time."
And more the fmal, less steamy stage of attachment is to guarantee that any kids produced by a love match has moms and dads at least through its early years.
Research reveals there might also be chemicals connected with sensations of attachment. When researchers injected a natural chemical called oxytocin into the mice, the animals right away formed attachments. When they injected chemicals that block the result of oxytocin, Fisher says; the mice "avoided their partners and acted like cads."
Recent research studies have actually zeroed in on the chemistry of love, revealing what kind of chemical and neurological activities happen at different phases of animal and human relationships.
Love is boosted by natural stimulants to the brain, noreinphrine and dopamine .
Gushy romantic sensations comparable to the high of drug dependency.

A digital collage made for the Art Journal Caravan 2013. This month's stop on our around the world tour is Japan. I'm not a huge fan of Japanese art, culture, food, etc. Don't dislike it, it just isn't a country on my bucket list.
However, it has a lot of neat things going for it such as cranes, mountains, cherry blossoms, and haiku.
For this collage, I used 3 background papers from the March kit layered and blended in a variety of ways, then added the various elements.
I wrote the haiku which reads:
cherry blossom pink
sparrows soar in aqua sky
nature sighs softly

Better’s platform moves the mortgage process completely online and makes intelligent recommendations on the right type of mortgage products for their customers. The platform also creates time and cost efficiencies, which Better passes directly back to the consumers, resulting in low rates and closing in as little as 14 days -- 10 days faster than the industry average!


MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama House of Representatives has voted to decriminalize non-high inducing marijuana oil in a bid to help people coping with debilitating seizures.
House members on Wednesday voted 103-0 for the bill. It now goes to the Alabama Senate.
Cannabidiol, which doesn’t cause a high like marijuana, is being explored as a treatment for seizures. The bill would give people a defense from drug possession charges if they are using the oil to help with seizures.
The legislation is named “Leni’s Law for 4-year-old Leni Young. Her family moved from Alabama to Oregon to get cannabidiol.
Lawmakers previously approved access to the oil through a University of Alabama at Birmingham study. However, some patients, like Young, were unable to get into the study.

Former Marine from Flint released after imprisonment in Iran
WASHINGTON – Speaking from the White House, President Barack Obama on Sunday credited "smart, patient and disciplined" diplomacy for reaching a deal to reduce Iran's nuclear program and secure the release of four Americans unjustly held in that nation, including a former U.S. Marine from Flint, Amir Hekmati.
"This is a good day because once again we're seeing what is possible with strong American diplomacy," said Obama, who added that he and Secretary of State John Kerry used every opportunity in meetings with Iranian officials over the lifting of sanctions against that country to press for the release of Hekmati, Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian and the others.
Hekmati, who has been held in an Iranian prison for more than four years on what his family and American officials maintained was a false charge of espionage, flew out of Iran on Sunday, headed to Germany on a Swiss aircraft, according to officials. Hekmati's sister, Sarah; her husband, Dr. Ramy Kurdi, and U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Flint Township, were to travel to Germany later Sunday to meet him.
The aircraft carrying Hekmati and the others landed in Geneva, Switzerland, en route to its final destination in Germany before noon eastern U.S. time.
"I gave these families my word, a vow, that we would do everything in our power to obtain their release," Obama said in a statement from the White House. "Yesterday, these families finally got the news they had been waiting for."
Mentioning Hekmati by name and saying he and the others "endured an absolute nightmare," Obama said of the four prisoners, "At long last they can stand tall and breathe deep the air of freedom."
Hekmati, Rezaian and possibly other Americans released as part of a swap with Iran were also on the flight headed to Landstuhl, Germany, an official with knowledge of the flight told the Free Press, speaking on background because the information hadn't been made pubic yet. But it was believed that not all of the Americans had left Iran.
Earlier Sunday, a senior Obama administration official confirmed that at least some of the four detainees who had been released Saturday in advance of the formal lifting of international sanctions on Iran under terms of a multilateral nuclear agreement had left the country. But in that confirmation, the administration official said only detained U.S. citizens "who wished to depart Iran" had left, suggesting some may not have gone.
An Idaho pastor, Saeed Abedini, and a businessman, Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari, were also among those released in the swap with the U.S. Another official with knowledge of the flight confirmed for the Free Press that Hekmati and Rezaian were on the plane to Germany, where they would undergo medical evaluations.
There was no immediate word yet on Hekmati's condition after some 4 1/2 years in an Iranian prison.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, in Vienna, Austria, made the announcement of the prisoner releases official on Saturday evening only moments after a United Nations agency watchdog group certified Iran's compliance with the nuclear deal.
Hekmati was taken into custody in 2011 while visiting relatives in Iran. Initially charged with espionage, he was sentenced to death. His term was later reduced after the charges were changed, but both the U.S. government and the Hekmati family have resolutely denied that Amir was a spy.
Hekmati's family, who were not available by phone or at their home to comment Saturday, posted a statement on their Facebook page Saturday afternoon saying, 'We thank everyone for your thoughts during this time. There are still many unknowns. At this point, we are hoping and praying for Amir’s long-awaited return.”
Kildee's office on Sunday morning announced a media availability at 10:45 a.m. Sunday in advance of flying with Sarah Hekmati and her husband overseas "to be with Amir and bring him home."
"Amir, I cannot wait to meet you for the first time, give you a big hug and welcome you home," said Kildee, who has continuously pushed Congress, the White House and others to work toward Hekmati's release.
During negotiations over a deal to lift longstanding sanctions on Iran in exchange for the country greatly reducing its nuclear program, Obama administration officials pointedly noted they would not make the release of the prisoners a condition in the agreement, which they believed could be seen as giving legitimacy to their incarceration.
But Obama said Sunday he and other officials used every meeting to push Iran to release the incarcerated Americans.
He also said the nuclear deal is working and that, under its regime of inspections and requirements, Iran doesn't have enough material for a single nuclear bomb and that the core of a nuclear reactor has been pulled out and filled with concrete.
"Under the nuclear deal," Obama said, "Iran will not get its hands on a nuclear bomb."
But he said there remain stark differences between the two nations, and he again called on the nation and its leaders to cease taking a threatening stance toward Israel and sowing unrest in the region.
