Diplomatic duel as Chavez attacks AmericaComments
The battle of wills between Venezuela and the United States has erupted into open diplomatic warfare. President Hugo Chavez is threatening to end oil shipments to America, and has told the US ambassador to leave the country.
He told the Americans to get lost, though using rather more earthy language, and warned Washington against any aggression.
Chavez acted after announcing that two Russian war planes had arrived in Venezuela. Caracas and Moscow insist they are on a training mission, but the president said their presence was another "warning" to the United States.
Chavez is also cutting the number of flights by US airlines to and from Venezuela. Just days ago the Bush administration questioned security levels at Venezuelan airports.

Therese here. Today's guest is author Sarah Pekkanen, whose debut novel, The Opposite of Me, was a Redbook Book Club Pick, and earned glowing praise from People magazine, The Washington Post, and (the very picky) Kirkus Reviews, among others. How were so many important media outlets tuned in to Sarah's novel? Was she working with an outside publicist? Turns out she was. Said Sarah of her hired publicist, Crystal Patriarche: "Crystal is smart, savvy and fun, and she helped get lots of attention for The Opposite of Me. I love working with her."
Hiring an outside publicist is something I considered for my debut but in the end did not do. Still I've always wondered: Should I have taken this step? (And quite honestly, a little voice inside of me always answers Yes.) And so I asked Sarah to write something for us today about working with Crystal. What was it like? What did she have to offer? Happily she agreed to answer those questions. Please welcome Sarah Pekkanen to Writer Unboxed, and enjoy the post.
Working with an Out-of-House Publicist
Soon after signing a publishing contract, I began to grapple with a question that seems to lurk in the mind of just about every author, from debut to seasoned pro: Should I hire an outside publicist?
I'm an anxious – possibly verging on neurotic – type (I know, shockingly rare for a writer) and in the end, that's what sealed my decision. I knew springing for outside help would also buy me peace of mind, because I'd be doing everything I could to boost the success of my novel. I'm happy with my decision, but it may not be the right one for everyone. Factors like the level of in-house support for your book, an author's own promotional abilities, and finances all need to be weighed before a writer signs a contract with a publicist.
Here are some of the things outside publicists can do for authors – and some of the trade-offs:
My outside publicist did this, and she did it well. Though some bloggers might have picked up my book up on their own, my publicist aggressively – and successfully – pursued dozens of blogs. I breathed more easily knowing she could help follow up on the mass mailing sent out by my publisher – which she did. My publicist repeatedly sent out my photo and book cover images, shipped extra galleys, and kept a spreadsheet of upcoming blog interviews and reviews. I've got three young kids and squeezing in a shower is a challenge on most days, so I knew I wouldn't be able to do it on my own – but for someone who has nights and weekends free and isn't shy about self-promotion? Truthfully, that author could probably handle this aspect of the job him or herself.
2) Brainstorm Creative Ideas
My publicist was able to round up prizes for contests that drew attention to my book. For example, I decided to have a "Spike Day" celebration a week before my novel hit stores and offer a raffle ticket to anyone who pre-ordered my book on that day. My publicist convinced companies to donate an HD video camera, luxury t-shirts and a sexy piece of lingerie for the raffle. She also came up with the idea of me doing giveaways for books on my novel's Facebook page, which meant I could promote my fellow writers while offering up something to keep folks coming back to my Facebook page. It's a win-win for everyone involved.
3) Score Big Hits
I was lucky enough to get coverage in places like The Washington Post and Redbook. While I can't say for sure my outside publicist is directly responsible, I know this: Every bit of media-coverage for a book is hard-fought, and having an extra voice chiming in, urging reviewers to take a look at my book, certainly didn't hurt.
4) Update Facebook and Twitter feeds
Some publicists offer to do this, but for me, it didn't feel right. I don't like someone else posing as me – however fleetingly or innocuously. I think if readers found out, they'd feel betrayed.
There are other things to take into account when considering the services of a publicist. First, you need to make sure you hire someone who can work in harmony with your in-house publicist. My publicist at Atria Books was happy to have the extra help – and my outside publicist was careful not to step on any toes.
Another issue is whether you plan on writing more books. I hired an outside publicist knowing it was an investment not just in my debut novel, but in my future books. If my first book did well, my advances would rise and my subsequent books would launch from a higher platform. However, someone who plans to write just one book might be less inclined to sink so much money into a paycheck for an outside publicist.
All in all, I'm thrilled with the work of my outside publicist. Would I hire her for my next book? Absolutely; I already have.
Thanks so much, Sarah, for a great and insightful post!
Readers, you can learn more about Sarah on her website; and follow her on Facebook and Twitter.

Jared Tebo had one of his strongest races for many a year, sweeping to a trifecta of victories at the 2015 Psycho Nitro Blast in Georgia – here the PNB Champ shares his story of the event.
The PNB is a race I have wanted to attend, but just never did. In 2015, I made sure I could go. The track is why I've wanted to go; super rough track with big wooden jumps, it has always intrigued me. This trip was a little unique also with JLAME coming to help and pit. We flew into Atlanta and got our rental car for the two hour drive down south to Unadilla, GA. We were pleasantly surprised with our rental ride, and we were excited for our race adventure.

Pancreatic cancer is a devastating disease and is predicted to become the second cause of cancer death by 2020. In pancreatic cancer, like in other solid cancers (ie breast, liver or lung), tumour cells are surrounded by a tumour microenvironment consisting of a large number of non-malignant cells, also known as stromal cells. Stromal cells play an important role in cancer progression and resistance to therapy but the molecular mechanisms by which stromal cells support cancer progression are not completely understood. My research focuses on understanding the complex interactions between tumour cells and stromal cells in order to identify new combination treatments targeting both the tumour cells and the tumour microenvironment.
I always wanted to become a researcher. I met my husband while we were PhD students and thus, we always experienced the two body challenge. My two children were born during our post-doctoral training. This brought an additional challenge to my life, but being a mum also made me become more efficient and organised and did not stop me from pursuing my career in research. I always make the most out of my time, whether I am at work, or with my family, and I always pursue my dreams and persevere if they do not become true on my first attempt.

Golfs Free Agency
"If I feel like I have the best 14 clubs in my golf bag for my game as well as the best golf ball, who knows how many shots I could save?" said Masters champion Patrick Reed. "In the long run, I'm going to earn more on the golf course than I am off the golf course from a manufacturer."
Reed won his green jacket with a Ping driver, an old fairway wood from Nike —which doesn't even make clubs anymore—and a mix of other clubs from Titleist and Callaway. Koepka won the U.S. Open with clubs from TaylorMade, Nike, Mizuno and Titleist. Molinari played mostly TaylorMade clubs at the British Open, though he wasn't paid to do so.

Cited a letter to the Board from Town resident Mr. Dave Lambert regarding visibility problems entering US RT 7 from Pinnacle Ridge Road. Mr. Faignant said a property owner can be cited as the cause of an accident if those attending block visibility and an accident results. Mr. Faignant said in the past when he asked those at the Pinnacle Ridge intersection to move back, they did. The Board will instruct Chief Dumas to visit the location and Mr. Zingale is to make the State aware of the concern.
Mr. Rhodes cited the sidewalk feasibility grant application as prepared by Mr. Hathaway. Mr. Rhodes said he would like copies of the letters in the application.
The Board considered and signed the Center Rutland Corridor Water & Sewer feasibility study.
Mr. Rhodes said the next Fire Committee meeting would be on August 28th. Mr. Hall said the meeting will be at the McKinley Station.
Mr. Rhodes said the bids for the building power washing and repairing the chimney are due on September 25th.
Mr. Hall asked Mr. Zingale to place a notice at the CenterRutland Station stating the meeting on the 28th is at the McKinley Station.
Mr. Hall said the Fire Station architects would like to meet with the Board. Mr. Rhodes said they could be on the next agenda. Mr. Hall said a decision has to be made on which building design to chose. Mr. Rhodes said the Fire committee would present their selection at the meeting.
The Board discussed scheduling the next zoning review meeting. Mr. Faignant said sometime in September after the next meeting would be good.
Mr. Zingale will get prices for a compactor box and an open top container.
The Board discussed whether to jointly or individually purchase a roadside mower or whether to continue the practice of contracting the work.
Mr. Hall said based on history he thinks the Town should purchase a new or used mower with another town with the following conditions;
The Town would do the mowing with existing town employees
The Town's purchasing partner would store the equipment
Mr. Hall said with a combined purchase the unit would pay for itself in 2 to 3 years. Mr. Rhodes said he feels the opposite. He said the work has always been subbed out and that the equipment would get limited use each year. Mr. Rhodes said it should not be used to make work for Town employees.
Mr. Rhodes said the Highway Garage should be built before purchasing equipment. He said with a garage the Town would have a place to store the equipment.
Mr. Hawley said because the Rutland Town nor the Town of Mendon have a place to store the equipment, a third town would be needed. He said the question then would be whether all three town would want to use the equipment at the same time.
Mr. Hathaway said there is a surplus in his budget to purchase a used or new mower with an adjacent town(s), however, he said the money is always rolled over into re treatment for the following year.
Mr. Rhodes said if the Board decides to purchase a mower it should set the money aside, budget for it and let the taxpayers decided rather than interrupt the re treatment (paving) plan. Mr. Hall and Mr. Hawley said they agree with Mr. Rhodes.
Mr. Hawley said he is concerned all towns involved may want the mower at the same time. Mr. Nicholson said it would take 60 hours to mow Rutland Town once and that it would take 80 hours to mow Clarendon once. He said there is enough time to mow both towns in the the month of June and again in August.
Mr. Faignant said he would like to put the work out to bid to see what price the Town receives. Mr. Hathaway said the Board could save the taxpayer some money by making a joint purchase. He said in 2008, 2009 and 2010 the Town spent $22,000.00 for mowing. Mr. Hathaway said by purchasing a used mower with another Town for $28,000.00, the Town would pay off the purchase in two years.
Mr. Faignant said Mr. Hathaway needs to figure in the employee cost to the purchase price. Mr. Hathaway said he would be able to do the mowing within his existing schedule. Mr. Hathaway said he would have to rearrange his construction schedule to get the mowing work done. Mr. Hathaway said the Highway Department could absorb 120 additional summer hours. Mr. Hawley said the Board needs to make a decision by January. Mr. Rhodes said the Board does not have the money to buy a mower at this time.
Mr. Hathaway will speak with the Clarendon Road Commissioner and will report back to the Board.
Town Listers Messrs. Howard Burgess and Dean Davis met with the Board and discussed their plan to hire a consultant to adjust the values on the Town Grand List. Mr. Burgess told the Board that currently the CLA is at 104 % and that they are estimating it will be at 111% next year.
Mr. Burgess said adjustments need to be made to bring down the values on the Grand List. Mr. Burgess said Mr. Tom Vickery, who did the Town's 1998 reappraisal, has offered to meet with the listers and make some suggestions.
Mr. Burgess said one of Mr. Vickery's associates would work with the Town. Mr. Burgess said the job needs to be done. Mr. Rhodes asked if the work would adjust Business Personnel property. Mr. Burgess said it would not effect Business Personel property.
Mr. Burgess said because the Town has made so many adjustments to the 2009 reappraisal it is not fair to those who did not seek adjustments. Mr. Burgess said the land schedule needs to be address.
Mr. Faignant asked if the adjustment would be a flat across the board change. Mr. Burgess said the adjustment will not be flat. Mr. Burgess said the sales of the larger homes in town is a problem. He said some of the sales are way under the Town's assessment. He said the problem is not so bad with average housing.
Mr. Burgess said the change can't be across the board since a bunch have been fixed and do not now need to be adjusted. The Listers and Board members discussed the need for an adjustment to the Grand List further and Mr. Rhodes asked the Listers to keep the Board informed.
Mr. Hawley questioned Mr. Zingale regarding the status of the Rutland Rail Way Association's grant application. Mr. Zingale said the matter is still on hold.
The Board reviewed packet correspondence.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 23, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Taking blood pressure medications at bedtime rather than in the morning nearly halves the risk of dying from a heart attack, stroke or heart failure, a large, new study finds.
Researchers in Spain followed more than 19,000 adults with high blood pressure. They found that people who took all their blood pressure meds at night had lower blood pressure around the clock compared to volunteers who took their medication in the morning.
"The findings are highly consistent regardless of sex, age, presence of diabetes or kidney disease, and other major known factors of increased risk," said study lead author Ramon Hermida.
Hermida is director of bioengineering and chronobiology at the University of Vigo's Atlantic Research Center for Information and Communication Technologies.
"Conventionally, most patients ingest their medication in the morning," said Hermida, "although no single trial ever documented this to be preferable." No guidelines are currently in place regarding the best time to take the drugs, he added.
A New York City heart doctor believes consistency in taking your blood pressure pills will deliver optimal protection.
"The key here is routines," said Dr. Satjit Bhusri, a cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital. "Not missing a dose. We know one thing worse than an elevated blood pressure is swings in blood pressure due to periodic non-compliance."
To achieve compliance, it's important to stick to a routine, Bhusri said.
Besides compliance, factors such as emotions and simultaneous use of other medications can affect a drug's effectiveness, Bhusri noted.
The investigation -- called the Hygia Chronotherapy Trial -- ran between 2008 and 2018. It involved about 10,600 men and 8,500 women in northern Spain, aged 18 and older.
All had been diagnosed with high blood pressure prior to the study. The patients were tracked for a little over six years on average.
Study participants were randomly assigned to take all of their blood pressure pills just once a day, either in the morning or at bedtime.
Blood pressure was repeatedly assessed throughout the study. At least once a year, participants also wore a mobile monitor, which logged multiple blood pressure readings over two days.
In the end, the investigators found that those who always took their meds at night saw their risk of dying as a result of heart or blood vessel problems plunge by two-thirds, compared with those who always took them in the morning.
A bedtime drug regimen was also linked to a 44% drop in heart attack risk; a 40% drop in the risk for surgery to widen arterial pathways (coronary revascularization); a 42% lower risk for heart failure; and a 49% dip in stroke risk, the researchers reported.
Overall, the reduction in risk for cardiovascular-related death was 45%, the findings showed.
Why? Because of better nighttime blood pressure control, Hermida said.
"We have previously documented that asleep blood pressure is the most significant marker of cardiovascular risk," he explained. This is true whether daytime measurements taken at the doctor's office are normal or elevated.
The yearly 48-hour mobile blood pressure readings showed that patients who took their meds at night had "significantly reduced" blood pressure while asleep, compared with their peers who followed a morning medication routine.
Hermida did acknowledge a few caveats. For one, all study participants had to follow a typical sleep routine: up during the day and asleep at night. That means the study cannot speak to how medication routines might affect individuals who habitually work at night.
Also, all of the participants were white. Hermida said follow-up studies must be racially mixed. He pointed out that black Americans tend to have a higher-than-average blood pressure rate while asleep, so future research will need to focus on how medication timing affects them in particular.
Even so, he hopes the study findings may finally give clinicians some guidance when instructing blood pressure patients on best practices.
Bhusri added that patients should speak with their doctor before changing the timing of their medication.
The study results were published online Oct. 22 in the European Heart Journal.

Independence Day is an excellent opportunity to spend quality time with family, enjoy delicious food, and celebrate the independence of our great nation with a neighborhood fireworks display. With the Fourth of July just around the corner, now is an excellent time to review some safety tips. This article will help you ensure that your Independence Day celebration is memorable for all the right reasons. Let's dive in.
Fireworks Safety Tips
According to an article by the New York Times, in the month around Independence Day, an average of 230 people per day end up in emergency rooms across the U.S. with fireworks-related injuries. The good news is there are precautions you can take to protect yourself and your family members from fireworks-related injuries. Here are some suggestions.
- Do not disassemble pre-assembled fireworks, attempt to make your own fireworks, or combine fireworks products.
- Make sure your fireworks are stored correctly and according to the packaged instructions.
- Only light fireworks on flat ground, away from flammable materials, and only in a dry and fire-resistant area.
- Do not light multiple fireworks at the same time.
- Do not point fireworks at yourself or others while you light them.
- Ensure the person lighting the fireworks is equipped with safety glasses and is sober. Keep all spectators at a safe distance from fireworks that are being lit.
- Do not allow young children to handle or light fireworks. Always have an adult supervise fireworks activities.
- Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, along with a hose or bucket in case of a fire or malfunction.
- If a firework malfunctions, do not relight it. Instead, soak it in water and dispose of it.
Grilling Safety Tips
Grilling goes hand-in-hand with any Independence Day celebration. That being said, the most common insurance claim on the Fourth of July is from cooking fires. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, more fires are reported on Independence Day than any other day of the year. Here are some tips to keep your home and family members safe while grilling out this holiday.
- Keep a three-foot safe zone around your grill. This means keeping your grill at least three feet away from your deck, home, landscaping, or outdoor equipment that could catch fire quickly.
- If you have a gas grill, check the grill hose for cracks, holes, and leaks before using it.
- Never grill indoors, in the garage, or in an enclosed area.
- Keep children and pets away from your grill.
- Avoid loose clothing that can catch fire while cooking.
- Open your gas grill before you light it.
- Remove grease and fat build-up on a regular basis so it cannot be ignited.
- Be sure to check out the National Fire Protection Association for additional fire safety tips.
Pool Safety Tips
Due to the typically warm weather, water sports are a very popular pastime on Independence Day; however, water sports have been linked to numerous deaths and injuries each year. The below tips will help you stay safe and keep your loved ones safe while enjoying water activities.
- Monitor young children closely. Never assume someone else is watching the children.
- Do not allow children to enter the water without proper flotation devices.
- Set water safety rules for your family.
- Keep a first aid kit near your pool deck.
- Never swim alone.
- Swim sober. Research has shown that alcohol consumption increases the risk of accidental drowning.
- Apply sunscreen frequently to avoid painful sunburn, sunstroke, or heatstroke.
- Remember to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
Additional Safety Tips
Here are some additional tips to help you experience a fun, safe, and memorable Independence Day.
- Don't skip out on applying insect repellent.
- Check you and your family members' prescriptions to make sure you will not experience a sun-sensitizing drug reaction.
- Cover your food and beverages while outdoors to prevent bees and wasps from accidentally being swallowed.
- Use alcohol responsibly. Check out MADD for some amazing drunk driving prevention tips.
- Report any illegal explosives to your local police department.
- Use good judgement when boating and always look up water and weather conditions before leaving the house.

Ambassador Hassan Taherian in Seoul said, "The presence of the Tehran Street in the Gangnam District of Seoul, as well as the Seoul Street in the North of Tehran, is the symbol and remainder of long friendship between the two countries." Speaking at a recent interview with The Korea Post slated for publication on the occasion of the Day of Proclamation of the Islamic Revolution of Iran on Feb. 11, Ambassador Taherian stated that "given the number of high-level Korean officials' visits to Iran over the past year, I hope we could correspondingly make arrangements for high-ranking Iranian officials' visits to Korea." Details of the interview follow:
Question: What are the important developments scheduled between Korea and your country, including the possible visit of your Head of Government to Korea?
Answer: Iran and Korea established the diplomatic relations in 1962. Throughout these years, the two countries maintained a relatively friendly and strong relationship. The presence of the Tehran Street in Gangnam District of Seoul, as well as the Seoul Street in North of Tehran, is the symbol and remainder of long friendship between the two countries.
The Iranian officials always expressed their positive view toward South Korea and supported the expansion of bilateral relations and underlined that such cooperation can lead to further intimacy between the two countries in political field. Fortunately, we have had a number of official meetings recently, among them and most importantly, the last year visit of Her Excellency, President Park Geun-hye to Iran.
Given that presidential visit to Iran was the first of its kind ever made at this level between the two countries, it is considered an important historic visit which opened up a new chapter in Iran-Korea relationship. It also gives momentum to the bilateral relationship, which promotes mutual cooperation in a wide range of fields, namely; political, economic, cultural, scientific, academic and people – to – people exchanges and given the number of high-level Korean officials' visits to Iran over the past year, I hope we could correspondingly make arrangements for high-ranking Iranian officials' visits to Korea, in future.
Q: What is the current volume of bilateral trade, its outlook in the next 12 months?
A: As far as the trade relation between the two countries is concerned, we always particularly value and support business relations between our two countries. Korean companies have a long record of involvement and successful activity in Iranian market and working in many infrastructure and construction projects in Iran. They enjoy a very good reputation as the reliable and confident partner and this is a valuable asset for their future activity in the Iranian market. Iran and Korea enjoy strong economic ties with bilateral trade total roughly US$.8.357 billion dollars in 2016. Iran is one of the main supplier of energy for Korea. We are fully prepared continuing our work towards further strengthening of our cooperation in many fields. By relaxation and lifting of the sanction against Iran, we already see a greater interests of Korean companies in wider presence in Iranian market.
Definitely, the dimension of economic cooperation and the volume of bilateral trade between the two countries will increase in this year of 2017 comparing with the last year.
Q: What are your competitive field of industry and products attractive to Korea and what are Korean products and services that your country might wish to import?
A: Thanks to its rich oil and gas reserves, Iran has always been considered a very cost-effective market. Considering its industrial and productive potentials in various fields especially in oil, gas, petrochemicals, steel, power and an increase in its exports of manufactured goods, Iran will be changed into a much stronger market.
Cheap energy, highly qualified labor force, ample natural resources and the protection and promotion of foreign investment are advantageous for foreign investors in Iran.
With those economic opportunity and privilege, Iran invites the Korean business jaebeol or SME to be more active in various fields in Iran, like South Pars projects, petrochemical projects, vessels, tankers, pharmaceutical projects, auto industries, iron and steel, power plants and electric projects. We believe that Korean long and continuous presence in Iranian market and on the other hand, the satisfaction of Iranian from Korean product is a good and valuable asset in which to be protected by Korean government and people.
Q: What are the areas in your country where you want Korean companies to invest and what are the areas where you wish your businessmen to invest in Korea?
A: With Iran and Korea, both being dynamic countries in their respective regions, it is strongly believed that the prospects for further development of fruitful bilateral relations are bright and promising.
The direct participation and investment from Korea in the economic and trade sector of Iran, is considered little but taking into account the fact that trade and investment, especially in oil-related items, will be growing day by day after removing and lifting of sanction because for Iran, ROK is a reliable economic partner therefore, Iran is seeking more investors from this country.
Existing free trade zones in different parts of Iran allow foreign companies to take advantage of the geographical position of Iran.
The free trade zones, as centers of trade activities, play an important role in absorbing FDI and re-exporting goods. Now there is no barrier in the way of technical and industrial development and the country is moving towards economic progress and prosperity.
Q: Would your please introduce in detail the National Day of you esteemed country?
A: The national day in Iran is celebrated on 11th of February every year to mark the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979. The Islamic Revolution emerged victorious under the wise leadership of Imam Khomeini with massive and popular support and backing of the people. The day marks events involving the overthrow of the Pahlavi Dynasty under Mohammad Reza Shah, who was supported by the foreign powers and used the secret police, the Savak, to control the country by dictatorship. Demonstrations against the Shah commenced in Oct.1977, developing to civil resistance that include all strata of the society. The main slogan of the people was freedom, independence and Islamic Republic. The Shah was forced to flee from the country on January 16, 1979 as the last Persian monarch and then Ayatollah Khomeini returned back from exile to Tehran to a greeting by several millions Iranians. The royal absolute reign collapsed shortly on February 11 and the people celebrated the victory of their own Islamic Revolution on the same day.
Shortly after the victory of revolution, the people in a national referendum on March 30 and 31, 1979, voted by a large margin to select the system of the government and Iran officially became an Islamic Republic.
Q: Would you please introduce your Head of Government in detail, including his major achievements?
A: H.E. Dr. Hassan Rouhani is the head of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. He is the seventh and current President of Iran since 2013. He is also a member of the Expediency Council, the Assembly of Experts and the Supreme National Security Council of Iran. During 2013 presidential campaign, he pledged that if elected, he would uphold civic rights and the rights of ethnic and religious minorities. He also made some momentous vows; to bring by then complicated country's nuclear issue to a peaceful conclusion underlying the principal interests of the nation inter alia getting country rid of unjust international economic and financial sanctions and to promote international relationship with world countries especially, neighboring countries in the region based on mutual trust and respect. The most remarkable achievement of his government, undoubtedly, is the landmark nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1 in 14th of July, 2015 whereby an extensive array of sanctions against Iran were lifted and country's train of international economy and trade got back on track and resumed its normal course.
Q: What are the attractive tourist destinations of your country?
A: Iran is an incredible place to visit. If for no other reason than its continuous history of some 7000 years it would be well worth seeing for its diversity of landscapes, monuments, customs and lifestyles that make Iran attractive in all seasons. There are one million historical sites in Iran. It is obvious that even the most interesting of these can be visited only by making numerous trips to the country. These trips are all the more pleasant because visitors to Iran never leave it without memories of its wonderful hospitable people.
One of the most impressive elements which would make trips to Iran very extraordinary and delightful is being welcome and served by the hospitable Iranians. The etiquettes and behaviors towards travelers by Iranians are rooted in their cultural beliefs. Iranian hospitality makes the journey memorable and encourages tourists to want to revisit this great land of glory and wonders.
Iran has seen an increase in the number of annual visitors over the past few years, and the recent lifting of economic sanctions is sure to attract even more. Home to one of the oldest civilizations, Iran has no shortage of sites to see. When it comes to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, it boasts an impressive 19 registered cultural sites. Palaces, bazaars, places of worship, ancient water systems, and remnants of the great Persian Empire dominate this list.
Persepolis: One of the first three sites to join UNESCO in 1979, Persepolis, known locally as Takhte Jamshid, was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire in the 5th century B.C. The site was chosen and constructed under Cyrus the Great, Darius I, and King Xerxes. What remains of this pinnacle of Persian civilization are massive columns and former palaces, innumerable reliefs depicting nationalities that once walked through there, and three humbling sepulchres on the hillside behind the ruins. Climbing the steps to enter the Gate of All Nations will enlighten visitors to the magnitude of this once magnificent empire.
Meidan Emam, Isfahan: It is easy to spend an entire day meandering in Meidan Emam, alternating between marveling at jaw-dropping architecture and haggling with business-savvy bazaar keepers. It is no wonder that the city of Isfahan is known as nesfe jahan (half the world). One of the first sites in Iran to be registered with UNESCO in 1979, this square was built by Shah Abbas in the 17th century. One major monument stands on each side of this grand square, and they are all connected by two-story arcades. Imam Mosque has the largest dome in the city, while Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque dazzles visitors with its splendid tile work. Ali Qapu Palace is most notable for its music room, mosaic stairs, and views of the square, and the gate of the Imperial Bazaar will take you through one of the oldest bazaars in the region. At the end of the day, you will truly feel as though you have seen half of the world.
Bam Citadel and its Cultural Landscape: This ancient desert city of the southern Kerman province was registered with UNESCO in 2004. An overview of Bam immediately gives visitors the impression of being in a life-sized sand castle. The most recognized monument, Arg-e Bam, dates back over 2,000 years to the Parthian Empire. This citadel was built out of khesht (sun-dried mud bricks) in the 6th to 4th centuries B.C. and served as the governor's quarters. Reconstruction of this landmark began after a devastating earthquake nearly flattened this mud brick city, killing over 26,000 people in 2003. Dates, a particularly special export of Bam, flourish especially well thanks to the vast system of qanats (an ancient underground water system) still used today.
Kish Island:
Kish Island is a 91.5-square-Kilometre (35.3sq/m) resort island in the Persian Gulf. It is part of the Hormozgan Province of Iran. Owing to its free trade zones status, it is touted as a consumer's paradise, with numerous malls and shopping centers, hotels, tourist attractions and beautiful beaches ideal for swimming and other water entertainments. It has an estimated population of 26,000 residents and about 1 million people visiting the island annually. Kish Island was ranked among the world's 10 most beautiful islands by the New York Times in 2010. Foreign nationals wishing to enter Kish Island from legal ports are not required to obtain Visas prior to travel. Valid travel permits are stamped for 14 days upon arrival at Kish airport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find a selection of the most commonly asked questions. We have a free 8 page booklet available for all new and exisiting clients going into further detail on who we are and how we clean. All new customers are given a booklet unless they request otherwise. If you have a question that is not listed then please contact us.
Regular Cleaning
We pride ourselves on being reliable. We soon learned that customers require a reliable service as this was their biggest complaint with their last cleaner. Each cleaner uses their own personal dedicated window cleaning planner to manage their own jobs. 95% of our customers are cleaned on a 5 to 6 weekly basis & we do offer other cycles as well however 5 to 6 weeks is the best value. With the invention of the water fed pole system windows naturally stay cleaner longer so if we are running late by a few days customers don't notice because windows are not filthy. If we are going to be exceptionally late we will contact where possible customers who are going to affected.
All Round Year Cleaning (Excluding Holidays & Bank Holidays)
We clean all year round including during the winter months. Unless pre arranged we generally do not clean on bank holidays and over the last week in December. Our last working day of the year is usually December 24th and we finish earlier, returning to work at the beginning of January the next year.
Will I Need An Outside Tap ?
We can only use pure water to wash and rinse window units. This water is transported inside our vans in Grippatank Crash Tested Systems and delivered via the same system with ultra light weight carbon poles.
Why Are My Windows All Wet ?
The windows on your property have been cleaned with pure water. The water left is 100% pure as the dirt has been rinsed away and your windows/uPVC frames will dry to a spotless finish.
How Do We Know You Have Cleaned Our Property ?
Lgb Vision will always leave a payment slip for you, this slip contains information on how to pay your bill. You can also pay at the end of the clean if you're present.
Oh yes! British weather! We can if we wanted clean in torrential rain, wind, snow and sub zero conditions. The water fed pole system is a completely different method to traditional window cleaning. We have full information on our website of our rain guarantee but here is a brief explanation. Rain does not make your windows dirty, dirt does! When we are cleaning and it's raining. The dirt has been scrubbed off and rinsed away. The water used for cleaning is pure water (000ppm). Rain water has a general reading of between 001 to 007ppm but the rain water does not contain chlorine or added chemicals from the water board. So any rain hitting the glass will just dry normally as the dirt has already been scrubbed away. We are that confident we offer a 24hr rain guarantee. No questions, no quibbles, no worries.
Text Reminder
We can if you wish send an automated text the night before at 7pm for access issues or to simply inform you we are coming to clean the windows, this text comes from a computer so replies are not possible. Please save your window cleaners number for any direct contact. Please note the text message is not an invitation to cancel the clean for the following day as per our terms and conditions we require 48 hrs notice to cancel a clean except in emergencies.
Locked Gates
Sometimes you may forget to leave the gate open for us. We will do our best to clean all the windows still as each window cleaner carries special ladders to gain access over gates safely. Sometimes it may not be possible to climb over for various reasons so we will charge a percentage of your normal price depending on what has been cleaned.
Skylights / Velux Windows
Where possible we will always clean these for the customer. However due to the angle and the design we cannot guarantee the results. The main issue is getting enough pressure at the brush head to clean the window not the height or distance.
On very rare occasions some windows and doors can leak. Usually it's older windows, dirty seals or worn hinges on the windows. Usually the window cleaner will spot leaks straight away and will inform the customer. If you have any suppositions then please inform your cleaner. As mentioned though its a very rare occasion.
Georgian Bars
Most new build developments will incorporate georgian style windows. The plastic georgian bars are stuck to the glass using either tape or glue. Construction dust, debris and even poorly fitted bars can all contribute to them falling off. Where possible we refit free of charge for our customers if any happen to come adrift.
Open Windows
We can normally safely close most windows and clean as normal and some windows we can even clean whilst still open. Sometimes it may not be possible to close or clean an open window so we will charge a percentage of your normal price depending on what has been cleaned.
Transaction Error
We use a dedicated window cleaning software program to plan, track and record our cleaning. Sometimes we may miss a payment in the bank account and put a bill through informing you that the last clean is outstanding, if this does happen don't worry simply drop your cleaner a message and he/she can investigate.
Method Of Payment
Our preferred method of payment is Gocardless as it's an ideal payment system for window cleaning. In a nut shell we simply turn up, clean the windows, leave a payment slip and then payment is collected 5-7 days later via Direct Debit. The advantage of this system is the payment is ONLY authorised if we have cleaned the windows! We also accept BACS payments, cash, cheque, card, pingit and paypal although some methods incur an additional fee. Gocardless has reduced administration which is reflected in the price we charge to clean your house.
Terms & Conditions
The world is changing and so has window cleaning. Do you have to sign a contract, NO! Will you ever have to sign one from us, NO! We will turn up, clean the windows on a regular basis to an excellent standard and at a competitive price. We clean all year round and we do clean in the rain. In return we ask you to try to remember to leave gates open, call or text your window cleaner with any relevant new information and of course pay in a reasonable time frame.
We are confident that you will find the standard of our work exceptional and customer satisfaction is our priority. If you do feel that you need to complain please contact your window cleaner directly as soon as possible. To avoid any embarrassment and wasted time (For both parties) please ensure that any marks in question are not on the inside of the glass. Your window cleaner will handle complaints directly but he/she may also ask Lgb Vision for advice if it's a problem they haven't encountered before. If you wish to cancel then we simply ask for it in writing and with at least 48 hrs notice. An email, letter or even a text message is perfectly acceptable as long as there is a date and address.
Recommend Us
We offer a simple reward scheme which always goes down well with our customers. Simply recommend us to a friend, family member or neighbour and you will receive a free clean when they become a regular customer.
Terms and conditions do apply.

7 Warning Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes
Print • Free eBook: 35 Gut Recovery Recipes
We've all heard that diabetes is a major issue in the US, yet do you know what it really is? Very simply put, it's a group of diseases that now includes prediabetes, gestational, type 1, type 2, and type 3 that result in chronically elevated blood sugar levels. The type of diabetes, the elevation of the blood sugar, and the length of time the levels have gone unchecked all impact where you are on the spectrum of this disease, from prediabetes at the low end to type 3 at the far end.
Currently, there are 30.3 million people in the US with diabetes.1 Add in the number of Americans the Centers for Disease Control believes are prediabetic, and the number jumps to more than 100 million people affected in the US alone. 100 million! This is serious. However, despite the daunting numbers, there is good news. There are steps you and your loved ones can take right now to halt and even reverse diabetes naturally. You can take the first step with this free training.
Let's take a closer look at what diabetes is, the types, and the warning signs and symptoms of this widespread condition, so you can analyze your risk and take action now.
What is Diabetes?
Each type is a chronic condition that develops over time and has everything to do with how your body manufactures or processes insulin. To help you better understand diabetes, let me explain the insulin connection. Many people don't realize that insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas, a small organ behind your stomach. Insulin is the key that helps the glucose in your blood enter cells in your muscles, fat, and liver, where it's used for energy to power your body.
As soon as you eat, your blood sugar levels, also called blood glucose levels, begin to rise. This stimulates your pancreas to produce insulin so that you can use the glucose. When everything is functioning optimally, insulin and another hormone called glucagon keep blood glucose levels balanced. They are neither too high (hyperglycemia) nor too low (hypoglycemia).
All forms of diabetes are characterized by higher-than-normal blood sugar levels. This can be because your pancreas is damaged and simply can't make enough insulin to balance the sugar in your blood. It could also be because the insulin receptors in your body are not working properly. This is called "insulin resistance." Regardless of why it happens, persistent high blood sugar is detrimental to your health.
What is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance is when cells in your muscles, fat, and liver don't respond well to insulin. They can't easily take glucose from your blood. Excess weight gain, too much belly fat, a lack of exercise, smoking, and too little sleep can all cause your receptors to begin to fail.2 As a result, your pancreas makes more and more insulin to help glucose enter your cells. Over time, these overworked pancreas cells get worn out and just can't keep up with the demand.
What Happens When Diabetes is Not Controlled?
Diabetes causes 1.6 million deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization. The global rate of diabetes has almost doubled since 1980.3 If uncontrolled, diabetes damages blood vessels all over the body, and causes complications including lack of circulation in legs and feet. It doubles the risk of heart attack and stroke, and impacts the eyes, kidneys, and nerves. As you can see, it impacts virtually your entire body! It is worth your effort to assess your risk factors, adjust your diet and lifestyle, and avoid diabetes altogether. Let's take a look at the types of diabetes in more detail and where the symptoms place you on the diabetes spectrum.
What are the Types of Diabetes?
Type 1:
This type, formerly called juvenile or insulin-resistant diabetes, is a condition in which the pancreas produces little to no insulin. It affects 1.25 million people in the US alone. This chronic condition, in the middle of the diabetes spectrum, is the result of the immune system attacking the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, and it is usually diagnosed in childhood or early teen years.4
Type 1 diabetes is not at all associated with being overweight like type 2 diabetes often is. Rather this type of diabetes has a hereditary component, and can be caused by autoimmunity. Like all autoimmune diseases, diet and environment have a huge impact on the condition. Leaky gut is also a path to autoimmunity. It's also worth noting that the damage to the pancreas can even be the result of a type of virus called enteroviruses, such as congenital rubella syndrome.5 Recent research suggests that your body may be able to regain its ability to produce insulin.6
Type 2:
If you have type 2 diabetes, your body resists insulin or it doesn't make enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels. There are 24 million cases of people with type 2 diabetes in the US.
Historically, type 2 diabetes has not been considered an autoimmune condition, yet new research points to autoimmunity impacting this condition. It tends to develop after age thirty, so it is often called "adult-onset" diabetes. However, more and more young people are being diagnosed due to the increase in childhood obesity.
Type 2 diabetes is associated with being overweight, having large amounts of belly fat, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. New research indicates that the insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes is the result of B cells (the cells that work by producing antibodies to fight antigens or "invaders") and other immune cells attacking your body's own tissue.7 This is also considered in the middle of the diabetes spectrum, with the ability to progress if symptoms are not controlled.
Type 3: Alzheimer's
It has long been known that being overweight and having type 2 diabetes can increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's. In fact, if you have type 2 diabetes, you have quadrupled your risk for Alzheimer's. Globally, this disease that negatively affects the neurons in the brain impacts 40 million people. Furthermore, two out of three cases of Alzheimer's, a type of dementia, are women.
Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disease that affects memory and thinking skills. It primarily occurs in those over 65. Early onset is very rare, yet can occur between the mid 30s and early 60s. It is the result of nerve cells getting tangled, called neurofibrillary tangles. Another factor is protein deposits called beta-amyloid plaques which build up in the brain. The disease originates in the hippocampus, the part of the brain that controls memory, yet as neurons die, and the disease progresses, the brain tissue significantly shrinks. In advanced stages, brain function continues to decline dramatically.8 This is the far end of the diabetes spectrum.
Recent research shows that Alzheimer's occurs when neurons in the brain become unable to respond to insulin, which is essential for basic tasks, including memory and learning. This is due to a process called glycation, which is caused by elevated blood sugar that is not metabolized by insulin. I will explain this process further in my next article on diabetes, but suffice it to say that high blood sugar "breaks down" all of your body, including your brain.9
Prediabetes is high blood sugar that is not high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes.
If your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, yet have not crossed the threshold to warrant a diabetes diagnosis, you are considered prediabetic. 84 million American adults — more than one out of three — have prediabetes. Of those with prediabetes, 90% don't even know they have it.
And although you may not know it, the long-term damage to your kidneys, blood vessels, and heart may already be starting. Prediabetes, considered the beginning of the diabetes spectrum, is a warning sign that you need to act now to preserve your health. Without appropriate diet and lifestyle changes, people with prediabetes tend to progress to type 2 diabetes within five years.10,11
As its name suggests, this form of diabetes occurs only during gestation, or pregnancy. Women with gestational diabetes not only urinate frequently (that's pretty typical during pregnancy!), they may also pass greater quantities of urine at those times.12
It is usually diagnosed between weeks 24 and 28 by an OB/GYN. Roughly 10% of women have gestational diabetes. In this condition, hormones from the placenta block insulin receptors, preventing a pregnant woman from balancing the high blood sugars common in pregnancy. It is usually controlled with diet, but in severe cases, insulin injections are necessary.
This condition is dangerous for the baby. Pregnant women with unmanaged gestational diabetes, or any of the other forms of diabetes, may have a baby that's too large. This makes delivery more difficult and a C-section more likely. They are also at risk for preeclampsia — a dangerous condition marked by high blood pressure — and stillbirth. Gestational diabetes generally corrects itself naturally after your baby is born. However, women who have had this condition are at greater risk, 5% – 10% to be exact, of developing type 2 diabetes later in life,13 so it is also considered to be at the low end of the spectrum.
Warning Signs and Symptoms of Types 1, 2, and 3 Diabetes
Let me be very clear: prediabetes and gestational are warning signs! These conditions place you on the low end of the spectrum and if you currently have either of them, or have had them in the past, you need to take action now. They are your body's alarm system which, if ignored, could push you farther down the diabetes spectrum. Here are some of the most common signs and symptoms of diabetes:
- Hunger and fatigue
- Thirst and increased urination frequency
- Dry mouth and itchy skin
- Blurred vision
- Yeast infections
- Slow-healing cuts
- Pain/numbness in feet and in legs
If you have type 2 diabetes, you may also experience tingling, pain, or numbness in your hands and feet. Those with type 1 diabetes can experience weight loss even when they are eating more than normal.14 Symptoms of type 1 diabetes appear quickly and are often the reason for checking blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes comes on gradually, so make sure you get screened for diabetes if the following apply to you:
- BMI higher than 25 with additional risk factors
- Over 45
- Had gestational diabetes
- Have one or more of the symptoms listed above
People with Type 2 diabetes are 50–65% more likely to develop type 3 diabetes, than people with normal blood sugars. People at risk for type 3, or in the early stages of it will likely have one of these warning signs:
- Memory loss that disrupts daily life
- Difficulty planning and/or problem solving
- Confusion about dates, names, and/or places
- Visual problems, often first apparent while driving
- Forgetting common words or losing the train of thought in the middle of a sentence
- Misplacing objects
- Withdrawal from social activities
- Mood or personality changes15
While any of these changes can come with normal aging, or with other health problems including drug or alcohol abuse, if these symptoms persist, a blood screening is in order.
My next article in this three-part series will deal with how to check your own blood testing and how to get to the root cause to reverse the symptoms of diabetes naturally. In the meantime, check out this free training that can get you started on your journey to optimal health.
