Atopy refers to the genetic tendency to develop allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma and atopic dermatitis (eczema). Atopy is typically associated with immune responses to common allergens, especially inhaled allergens and food allergens.
Allergies are among the most common chronic conditions worldwide. Allergy symptoms range from making you miserable to putting you at risk for life-threatening reactions.
allergic reaction begins in the immune system. Our immune system protects us from invading organisms that can cause illness. If you have an allergy, your immune system mistakes an otherwise harmless substance as an invader. This substance is called an allergen. The immune system overreacts to the allergen by producing Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. These antibodies travel to cells that release histamine and other chemicals, causing an allergic reaction.
Allergy Symptoms
An allergic reaction typically triggers symptoms in the nose, lungs, throat, sinuses, ears, lining of the stomach or on the skin. For some people, allergies can also trigger symptoms of asthma. In the most serious cases, a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis can occur (Anaphylaxis is a serious, life-threatening allergic reaction. The most common anaphylactic reactions are to food, insect stings, medications and latex).
A number of different allergens are responsible for allergic reactions. The most common include:
- Pollen
- Dust
- Food
- Insect stings
- Animal dander
- Mold
- Medications/Drugs
- Latex
Allergy Diagnosis
Allergies: your physician may be able to help identify your allergy triggers. Several different types of allergy tests are used to do this.
1.Questions Your Doctor Will Ask
- What kinds of symptoms do you have?
- How long have you had them?
- When your symptoms happen, how long do they last?
- Do your symptoms come and go throughout the year, or do they last year-round?
- Do your symptoms hit when you're outdoors, or indoors — like when you clean your home?
- Do they get worse when you're around pets? Do you have any pets?
- Do you smoke? Does anyone in your family smoke?
- Do your symptoms keep you from doing things, or from sleeping at night?
- What makes your symptoms better? What types of treatments have you tried?
- What allergy drugs are you taking now? Do they help?
- What other medications are you taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements?
- What kind of heating system do you have? Do you have central air conditioning?
- Do you have any other health conditions, like asthma or high blood pressure?
- Do you have problems with your sense of smell or taste?
- Do you get better on the weekend and worse when you go back to work?
2.Allergy Skin Test
These tests use extracts (a concentrated liquid form) of common allergens such as pollen, mold, dust mites, animal dander, and foods. Once those get in your skin, they could trigger a rash. Your skin will get irritated and may itch, like a mosquito bite.
That reaction is how the doctor can tell you're allergic to something. When you have an allergy, your immune system will make antibodies and set off chemicals to fight off the trigger.
Scratch test, also known as a puncture or prick test: First, your doctor or nurse will look at the skin on your forearm or back and clean it with alcohol. They'll mark and label areas on your skin with a pen. Then they'll place a drop of a potential allergen on each of those spots. Next, they'll scratch the outer layer of your skin to let the allergen in. (It's not a shot, and it won't make you bleed.)
Intradermal test: After they look at and clean your skin, the doctor or nurse will inject a small amount of allergen just under your skin.
Patch test: Your doctor could put an allergen on a patch and then stick that on your arm or back.
Plan for an hour-long appointment. The pricking part of scratch and intradermal tests takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Then you'll wait about 15 minutes to see how your skin reacts.
Patch tests take more time, and two visits to your doctor. You'll have to wear a patch for about 48 hours in case you have a delayed reaction to the allergen.
3.Blood Test for Allergies
You might sniffle and sneeze as the seasons change or get itchy and teary-eyed when you dust the house or pet an animal. Perhaps you start wheezing when you eat a particular food.
Allergy blood testing can help reveal what triggers your allergy symptoms and help your doctor choose the best treatment for you.
Types of Allergy Blood Tests
Allergy blood tests detect and measure the amount of allergen-specific antibodies in your blood. When you come into contact with an allergy trigger, known as an allergen, your body makes antibodies against it.
The antibodies tell cells in your body to release certain chemicals. These chemicals are what cause allergy symptoms. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is an antibody that's strongly linked to the body's allergy response.
Allergy blood tests usually screen for at least 10 of the most common allergy triggers, including dust, pet dander, trees, grasses, weeds, and molds related to where you live. They are also particularly helpful in diagnosing food allergies.
4.Food Allergy Testing
Food allergies are becoming more and more common. There has been an increase in severe food allergy cases in the last 10 years, mostly driven by peanut and tree nut allergies.
In children, the most common food allergies are
- Cow's milk
- Hen's eggs
- Peanuts
- Tree nuts
- Soybeans
- Wheat
In adults, the most common food allergies are:
- Peanuts
- Tree nuts
- Fish
- Crustaceans (such as shrimp, crabs, and lobster)
- Mollusks (such as clams, oysters, and mussels)
- Fruits
- Symptoms tend to occur just after eating, inhaling, or coming into contact with the offending food. Symptoms may include reddening of the skin, hives, itchy skin, swollen lips or eyelids, tightness of the throat, wheezing, difficulty breathing, coughing, vomiting, or diarrhea.
5.Allergy Symptom Diary
If you have a food allergy, you may need to keep a food diary – and remove certain foods from your diet – to determine exactly what you're allergic to.
6.Elimination Diet
The elimination diet involves removing specific foods or ingredients from your diet that you and your doctor suspect may be causing your allergy symptoms (common allergy-causing foods include milk, eggs, nuts, wheat, and soy). Your doctor will supervise this diet over a few weeks.

Microweber CMS the new generation website builder
Microweber is a website builder that helps you create responsive websites without having to write a single line of code.…
Useful information about Microweber project and developers
The internet surely revolutionized communication, but its impact on business is no less profound. No one could have predicted the enormous possibilities brought by innovation that shook the market and redefined many of its rules. Businesses conclude global partnerships, hire employees and interact with customers, an all-in-one organizer powered by the sheer force the internet is. Let's take a closer look at how technology changed the nature of business.
Global recruiting, the age of outsourcing and the traveling flocks of digital nomads
There is a stunning flexibility regarding recruiting new employees for your company. Thousands of job search websites like CareerBuilder or Craigslist connect employers and employees and benefit both parties. Hiring solutions like Monster specialize further in this domain, bridging job seekers and job givers. You can profile your perfect job candidate in mere seconds, flicking through databases for a small part of the time you'd do that without the internet.
The revolution doesn't stop here.
Working from home is a viable option now as employees need only access to the
internet and minor technological equipment to do their job. This can spare
office expenses and provide a revitalizing experience due to the changed
workplace. Alternating between working in the office and from home improves
Outsourcing has become a trend now, especially in the IT sector. Some reports say that as much as 70% of the sector will follow the outsourced model by 2017. Does it matter if a company is registered and operates in USA but you're living in Eastern Europe? Not at all. Regional companies easily outsource production or services in different parts of the world powered by internet.
The internet age gave birth to a new
type of people too – the so called digital nomads. Most of them are freelancers
– developers, content creators, designers, utilizing platforms like UpWork. The digital
nomads travel around the world as there are no geographical
boundaries for them – only the need of a good internet connection.
Whether it's hanging around Spain or Thailand, staying in Canada, USA or
South Africa, designing new templates or crafting business blog posts,
this newborn profession is a creation of technology.
And we can't skip on the art of affiliate marketing that can combine all of these in one place. Of course, if you follow the precautions Forbes mentions in their illuminating article first.
Affiliate marketing can differ quite a lot depending on the niche, manufacturers and approach. Niches range from popular, 20's and 30's male audience targeted niches like tech and gadgets (think ThisIsWhyImBroke style), to something more related to a real craft - like tools for barbers and stylists.
What's common here is that you need to mix both digital marketing, web design, copywriting/content creation skills and, possibly, HR & outsourcing if you want to delegate your tasks.
Welcome to inbound marketing
Technology reinvented the way
businesses promote their services and products to customers. The old ways of
marketing involved painful activities on traditional media (TV, radio,
newspapers), including the dreaded cold calling and an all-around begging for
the consumer's attention. Internet
turned this around, introducing inbound marketing – the art of attracting
customers to your brand via quality blog content, SEO, social media utilization,
e-books, podcasts and many more.
All of these involve bringing visitors in instead of going out to hunt for them in a mostly ineffective way. Instead of interrupting their daily activities in the ways of outbound marketing, marketers now let customers design their own personal time to explore brands and get engaged with them.
The kings are dead, long live the kings
It's important to note that internet brought major renovation in the business sector. Some businesses saw decline to the point of near extinction. Examples among these are the standard music industry relying on CD/DVD sales, travel agencies, video rental and traditional print media. The web introduced the harsh truth of the market – adapt or die, and those who paid no attention have descended into oblivion.
Alternatively, tech revolution led to a bold innovation spearheaded by web design agencies, developers, marketing agencies and ecommerce. Mobile apps generate millions of revenue, distributed in widely used App Stores, website creation is on the rise since swarms of new users create online shops, blogs or websites. The IT sector is blooming and is hungry for more expansion, delivering starkly rising employment for millions.
Ecommerce and its glorious victory march
Some days ago we talked about the ultimate expansion of ecommerce, a market growing unbelievably fast that is estimated to be worth $1.5 trillion in 2014.
Internet is the era of freedom for all small business owners or aspiring entrepreneurs. The ability to connect with prospective customers with the lowest amount of investment needed is invaluable. Ecommerce offers automation (in terms of checkout, billing and other required operational processes). It sustains an environment that is niche-friendly, thus expanding the variety of choice a trader can have. It also ensures better targeting, a more functional visitor-engagement via social media, 24/7 buying/selling process and many other advantages.
Website builders like Microweber are all around the corner, offering inexpensive and functional solutions for building one's own online shop or website. Due to their competition, scalability is outstanding - plug-ins, modules and other types of extensions ensure software growth corresponding to the growth of the business at hand. Brick and mortar shops have seen an alternative which has long started to devour them and establish itself as a law of modern commerce.
In a nutshell, ecommerce just made sure everyone can start an own business with astonishingly low costs, ignoring any geophysical barriers.
A brand way to connect with colleagues and customers
Solid business is a behemoth of sorts – it's big, slow, hierarchical and requires a ton of time for decision making. Internet helped to tone down this burden, improving communication and ensuring swifter decision making and action.
Different corporate teams from all around the world can communicate in an instant by e-mail or better yet – a Skype conference call or a Google Hangout. What once took hours or even days is now done in an instant. This applies not only to intracorporate communication – interaction with customers benefits too as social media company pages and profiles make it easier to receive feedback and react to it.
The web also gave birth to heaps of services that are of invaluable help to every business out there. Analytic tools like GoSquared, or CrazyEgg, or Google Analytics, mailing solutions like MailChimp, side-kicks to better social media sharing like Buffer, businesses all around the world now have access to a wide range of applications and software that lets them acquire maximum insight, precision and functionality in their work.
Last but not least, the internet led
to the emergence of business networking. Social media like LinkedIn, Q&A
platforms like Quora, colossal websites like Reddit provide a terrific
environment for both employees and CEOs to brainstorm ideas and find
inspiration from other people in their niche.
Bonus: The (sometimes happy) marriage between business advertising and internet slang
Given the fact that we discussed how internet influenced our current communication and saw its own slang come forth, it would be bad to leave out the correlation between this phenomenon and business.
The merge of internet slang and business is funny, wacky and strange at times and downright ridiculous at others. We have seen a fair amount of fails while trying to emulate the internet pop culture into an advertisement, but there have also been huge successes as many viral videos show.
Google Nexus advertisement with lolcats or Virgin Mobile using the Success Kid meme for its campaign are just a short examples of this; a symbiosis between popular internet culture, goofiness, slang and profitable business. Oh, Windows are not left out of the box too.
So there you have it – some of the ways business got completely changed by internet and its unstoppable force. Next thing we'll be focusing on the way we entertain ourselves – a broad topic that we all know a lot about.

About me
Licensed Professional Counselor and Life Coach with over 18 years experience working as an individual, family and couples therapist. I started my career in community mental health dealing with severe mental illness. I have been witness to some of the most traumatic and symptomatic individuals and know first hand that everyone requires help every now and again. You are not alone!
After completing my Master's Degree and working within the impoverished communities of North Philadelphia I accepted a position with the American Red Cross. Within this role I was fortunate enough to gain hands-on experience as a first responder to local emergencies and leading many consulting initiatives within Philadelphia. I was appointed as liaison to Chester county and became a trainer and presenter to the entire 5 county region. This has helped me to learn about trauma and dealing with devastating circumstances.
From there I began working with a group practice and branched into a private practice. I continue to complete research, publish articles and author presentations on many different psycho-educational topics including overcoming interpersonal and relationship issues, anxiety, self-confidence, infidelity, abuse related trauma and PTSD type reactions. In addition to my private therapeutic practice my current clinical work involves completing data analysis for clinical research. I have successfully completed many years of rigorous training and calibration exercises, by assessment experts and scale authors. I am able to confidently determine appropriate diagnosis and identify best practices for the most appropriate and customized therapies.
As a seasoned therapist my toolbox consists of varied behavioral techniques always accompanied by a humanistic and mindfulness approach. I am fiercely committed to my patients and will not rest until we find your correct path. My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive and compassionate, with an ability to add humor when appropriate. I work from a strengths-based perspective to assist you in maximizing what works for you and overcome your life's challenges. I'm here to help you and offer you a safe space to be open and honest. As a professional I am trained to leave my personal feelings and biases aside and to attend only to you and your unique situation.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristy Wolanski. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Kristy is very compassionate, I feel comfortable sharing with her the deeper sides of myself. I am grateful for her help.
A genuinely lovely human being and incredibly effective therapist whose compassion and professionalism are second-to-none.
My counselor is awesome and the service is awesome.
Kristy has a remarkable way of distilling my gibberish into logical, directional and helpful next steps.
I appreciate the feedback from Kristy, she assigns homework, which really helps to look differently at different situations. I really respect Kristy's knowledge and insight.
I am very happy to be working with Kristy, she is always very sweet and very helpful, always knows how to spark up the conversation and makes me feel better after every session. If I start a session feeling down I am always sure it will end with a smile. She's the best therapist I could have ever asked for, I am very glad to have been assigned to her. Highly recommended.
Kristy Wolanski has been my counselor since April 2018. At that time my anxiety was so severe due to traumatic situations that I never fully processed. Based on our first session, it was evident that Kristy is truly passionate about her career as a counselor. She's genuine, compassionate, understanding and very trusting, which are important qualities for a successful counselor/client relationship. Since working with Kristy, I've grown tremendously and have been able to deal with anxiety producing situations in a much more healthy and confident manner. Kristy has taught me that anxiety doesn't define me, it's just a part of my life and that I have the ability to face it, deal with it and move on with the beautiful life and gifts that God has provided me with. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Kristy Wolanski.
Kristy has been instrumental in helping me make powerful life changes. I know I had to do the work, but she helped me see things differently and approach life in new and powerful ways.
Kirsty is a good listener and has great empathy; Kirsty takes time to listen and gives you a constructive way of moving forward, really taking the time to explore your thought processes.
Kristy is patient and supportive, yet also willing to challenge her patients for growth and learning. She's friendly and professional and is willing to get on her patients' individual levels of understanding and provide fresh perspectives and strategies to help unpack their issues, problem solve and progress. I have been enjoying our sessions.
I really like my counselor. It's not easy to open up, and many things that I'm sure still bug me from my past I haven't shared. She's not pushy, but really seems to listen. Sometimes I give her lots and I feel like she really takes the time to read everything or I give so little and she never seems annoyed. She's very easy to talk to and meets me where I'm at. I don't feel pressured to share but I do because I know she's here to help. This is the first time I've sought for help and I'm very happy BetterHelp is around and happy with who they picked for me.
She listens well and give a good guidance as to how to go about the problem. She is good at coming to root cause of the problem taking life stories as case studies.
Kristy helped me tremendously in just a very short period. She is a very gentle, intelligent and non-judgemental therapist. She challenged me a lot. Thanks to her I could look at my thinking and behavioural patterns from a different angle and take distance from them.
I immediately felt at ease talking to Kristy. She made me feel comfortable talking about stuff I've been bottling up for a very long time.
Kirsty is responsive and professional.
Kirsty has been helpful during a time of major transition - both in my personal life and professional life. She is consistent, kind and encouraging.
I like the way she takes the time to break things down into specific areas. It is helping me see where I need to work.
Kristy is an amazing therapist-she is adept at helping her clients identify problems & tailors her help to most effectively solve issues. I love how straightforward she is & I can be just the same with my communication-no judgment. She is helping tremendously with my relationship & work issues-I feel so lucky to be working with her! She has a talent, she has the knowledge/understanding/skills to really strengthen her clients to handle problems on their own. THANK YOU, KRISTI!!!
BetterHelp.com is an amazing platform as well-no need to bottle up all your thoughts/emotions until your next clinical visit, use it as much or as little as you need. The phone sessions are definitely worth it as well-use this tool!
I came here looking for help because I was completely overwhelmed with LIFE - grad school, parenting, marriage, caregiving... Kristy has been extremely helpful in helping me start to get on top of out of control situations and stress. I'm glad that I found her here and can work with her on a flexible schedule. It's been a blessing!
Kristy Has helped me through depression, a job loss, family issues, a new job, budgeting, and much more. It is great to be able to type out what I am feeling when it's happening. She helps me work through my anxiety and create a plan rather than watch it happen. Thank You.

Tag: "Jeffery Liberman"

Most Talk Radio Programmers are Avoiding Use of the Term "Shithole" in Wake of Presidential Sh*tstorm. Once again, President Donald J. Trump – for better or worse – has shaken up the standards of traditional broadcasting and journalism. This time, with his controversial remark about immigration using the term "shithole" to describe countries from which he considers immigration particularly undesirable. The controversial racist aspect of this story notwithstanding, FCC-regulated broadcasters have had to make the quick decision to directly utter the term on the airwaves or buffer it with less offensive and non-potentially rule-breaking words. This decision has been made more difficult by the fact that many traditional, so-called mainstream cable outlets and online/print news media have chosen to use the word as the President said it. In conversations around the industry this morning TALKERS has learned that the prevailing tact on terrestrial talk radio has been NOT to use the word directly. Cumulus Media/Westwood One EVP Mike McVay tells TALKERS, "Despite cable television taking great joy in saying the 'S' word on TV, we are not saying the actual word on over the air radio. We recognize it as one of the seven words we cannot say. That has not stopped us from using it on our digital platforms." Salem Radio Network senior VP, Phil Boyce says, "The word 'shit' is one of the FCC-banned words and our hosts should never use it, no matter if the president did or didn't. My morning guy in Los Angeles, Brian Whitman, will be using the word "BLANK hole." We want our shows to be safe for the whole family. No need to have listeners turn off the radio because kids are in the car." Bold Gold Media Group CEO Vince Benedetto – owner of a number of stations in Pennsylvania and upstate New York – adds, "We haven't changed our policy – we still do not say anything on air that violates George Carlin's 'Seven words you can't say on television.'" ABC Radio VP/GM Steve Jones tells TALKERS, "ABC News Radio anchors and reporters are not speaking that word on air as it could be considered an FCC violation and it also might offend local community standards. Instead, we are referring to the phrase as an 'expletive' or 'profanity.' We have 1,650 affiliates and the majority use our ABC 'Newscall' service – which provides on-demand audio of reporters and actualities. We are more permissive in what we provide on that service because it is the decision of the station whether to run the audio – whereas as we control the newscast content and therefore have unilateral decision-making. If audio existed of any president using a profanity, we would put it on 'Newscall' and let stations decide its usage. If we determined language was so newsworthy we felt obligated to include it in a newscast, we would probably warn stations in advance. But, that's hard to effectively control and I don't recall it being done in many years." Although the consensus is to avoid using the word directly on the airwaves, not everyone in talk radio fully agrees that the way to go. Nationally-famous, station owner/operator (and industry maverick) Michael Zwerling of KSCO/KOME, Santa Cruz tells TALKERS that he will use the word on his own show ("The Saturday Special") but respects the rights of his air personalities to make their own decisions, "My position is to use the word on the air since it is a bona fide news story – but I just checked with the 'Good Morning Monterey Bay' staff [the station's morning show] and was told they opted to say 's-hole' and to play the Haitian national anthem." Zwerling continues, "Trump apparently has denied using that word (which is one of my favorites) but even if he was falsely accused of using it by the news media almost universally out to get him – it has nonetheless become a legitimate news story and therefore would fall into my category of okay to use on the air. Besides, it moves our industry in the direction of parity with the 'paid' services that have been and are allowed to use profanity with impunity!" Media consultant/TALKERS columnist/and RT America host Holland Cooke says, "It is a big topic with heavy phones at my client stations this morning. My advice: Ask listeners, 'If he said that word, should we, here on the radio?'" TALKERS legal editor and Bentley University law professor Steven JJ Weisman says, "It is my opinion that the use of the word 'shithole' in the context of discussing the president's comments would be allowed." For Weisman's full comments, please read the story below.

Save the Date! Talkers 2018 Set for Friday, June 8, 2018 in New York City. The editorial board of TALKERS magazine is pleased to announce the date and location of the 21st annual installment of the talk media industry's longest-running and most important national convention. Titled TALKERS 2018: Full Speed Ahead!, the power-packed, one-day event will take place on Friday, June 8, 2018 at the ultra-modern Helen Mills Event Space and Theater located in the colorful Chelsea district of Manhattan in New York City. This marks the second year in a row that the convention will be held at this very popular venue. The conference will feature top speakers from all aspects of the spoken-word media industry with a focus on talk radio and its role in the new digital age and dawn of a rapidly accelerating era. This will include programming, sales, marketing, and technology – the full spectrum of concerns, challenges and opportunities facing the modern day talk broadcaster and broadcasting organization. It will feature keynote addresses, panel discussions, fireside chats, and exhibits of the latest services and equipment available to broadcasting professionals. The event will also provide its attendees with unparalleled networking opportunities and social mixers including breakfast, lunch and a closing cocktail reception. TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison states, "As has always been the case with this annual gathering, all the way back to its days as 'The New Media Seminar,' TALKERS 2018: Full Speed Ahead! will focus on the future. There is no doubt about it; we are at the dawn of an exciting new era – full of both daunting challenges and fabulous opportunities. Good things happen at this convention. We pack three days' worth of content and activity into one dynamic day and comfortable space. It is not to be missed!" Complete agenda and hotel details will be posted in the coming days and weeks. As is customary with TALKERS conventions, TALKERS 2018: Full Speed Ahead! is only open to members of the professional media industry and communications students.

However, an early bird special ($279 per person) is available for those who register before 5:00 pm ET on Friday, February 2.

Gwiazdon Goes to Beasley Media Group Las Vegas as VP/MM. Most recently vice president and market manager of Midwest Communications' Nashville adult contemporary WJXA "Mix 92.9"; adult hits WCJK "96.3 Jack FM"; and CHR WNFN "i106.7," Dennis Gwiazdon began similar duties yesterday (1/11) for Beasley Media Group Las Vegas. According to Beasley Media Group executive vice president and chief operating officer Brian Beasley, "It is a privilege to welcome Dennis to the Beasley Media Group family. His proven track record and leadership skills are the perfect fit for our Las Vegas cluster as we continue to grow and expand our business in the market." Gwiazdon, who was president of the Nashville Area Radio Association, states, "I am absolutely thrilled about joining the Beasley team. There is tremendous potential for us in Las Vegas and I'm grateful [to be given] the opportunity to make a difference." Prior to his Nashville duties, Gwiazdon was president of San Diego-based Sales Insights. He previously held the vice president/general manager title at Seattle's KRWM; San Diego's KGB-FM and KPOP-AM; San Diego's KMCG and KXGL; and Salt Lake City's KKAT. With their Nielsen Audio December 2017 6+ AQH share and market rank in parentheses, Beasley Media Group's Las Vegas cluster includes classic hits-oldies KKLZ "96.3 70s, 80s, and More" (6.3, #2); urban-rhythmic oldies KOAS "Old School 105.7" (4.0, #6); country KCYE "102.7 The Coyote" (3.7, #9); hot AC KVGS "Star 107.9" (2.8, #15); news/talk KDWN "AM 720" (.7, #26); and KCYE-HD2, which did not appear in the December 2017 sweep.

WBUR, Reddit Debut "Endless Thread." That's the name of the weekly Ben Brock Johnson-hosted podcast done in partnership with Boston University-owned news/talk WBUR and Reddit, "the front page of the internet." Starting today (1/12), weekly installments will be available every Friday to stream or download. According to Johnson, "Reddit is one of the most formidable communities online. Its lifeblood is people from all over the world sharing and organizing around every imaginable topic, making it an incredibly valuable resource for anyone trying to understand our world. As a journalist, I've been fascinated by Reddit for years, but I've also become an avid 'redditor.' I'm always surprised at what a mystery Reddit is to people who don't use it. I'm looking forward to solving that mystery for the uninitiated, and helping 'redditors' share their incredible, real life stories with the world." Reddit creative development manager Michael Pope remarks, "Reddit is home to the most authentic conversations on the internet and we know there is a massive opportunity to host thoughtful conversations about these stories in audio form. As one of the leading NPR affiliates in the country, we can't wait to see what happens when we pair the production polish and talent at WBUR with the most compelling stories online." The first episode, "No No No No Yes," explores harrowing tales through first-hand interviews with 'redditors' who lived to tell their stories.

British Talk Show Host and TalkersRadio Personality Graham Mack Forced to Apologize for On Air Statement that PM Theresa May "Has No Balls." It is always fascinating to compare and contrast American radio with broadcasting in other English-speaking countries when it comes to tolerance, freedom of speech and political controversy. Well-known English talk show host Graham Mack, host of the popular BOB-FM, Herfordshire (greater London) breakfast show got himself into a sticky situation on Wednesday (1/10) by boldly stating that British Prime Minister Theresa May "has no balls." According to a report in the Hertfordshire Mercury, The comment came on yesterday's (January 10) breakfast show during a lengthy rant about May's recent Cabinet reshuffle, in which he also claimed that she was the "weakest Prime Minister" the country had ever seen. Mack went on to berate the reshuffle, saying that not enough women and ethnic minority MPs had been promoted to justify promises made by the Prime Minister in the preceding days. However, the maverick radio host appeared to backtrack on his claims this morning (January 11), telling listeners that he had to "correct" his comments. Mr. Mack said that although his remark about Mrs. May's lack of balls was "anatomically correct," he should not have made it. He also clarified that he could not be sure that May was the weakest Prime Minister the country had ever seen, as Clement Attlee or William the Younger could conceivably be weaker. In a statement, Mr. Mack said: "We received a serious complaint yesterday about what I'd said on the air. "Someone in a very senior position told me to make an apology. "I cannot reveal who made the complaint. The seriousness of the complaint did take me by surprise because a regular listener would realise that I take a swipe at all politicians regardless of which political party they represent." Mr. Mack concluded his on-air correction by issuing an apology directly to the Prime Minister, saying that as the leader of the nation she must be respected.

TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison describes Mack as "one of the best radio talk show aahosts in the English-speaking world."

Will I make It On a Kayak?
This is the question most people have posed on the best fishing kayak reviews on Amazon. Don't be intimidated by the thought of fishing in kayaks as kayak fishing is a lot safer and easier than it might seem. In the past, manufacturers have started manufacturing kayaks which are specifically for fishermen and most of these kayaks can pass for best fishing kayaks on the market as they are remarkably comfortable and stable as they come with at least a couple of rod holders, and some other features tackle hatches, live-wells an even anchor systems. There are several best kayaks for fishing available in the current market for one to choose from. Just make sure you choose one that fully fits your needs.
Which is The Right Kayak For You?
There is no one size fit all kayaks so best rated fishing kayak for someone else might not necessarily mean it is good for you. Before making a decision to make a purchase for fishing, it is best to take stock of how and where you want to use your kayak and how you plan to do your fishing and paddling. It is equally important that you identify your needs first before you remove any money to buy a kayak. Ask yourself if you will be fishing in freshwater ponds or large mouth base; will you be navigating in streams and rivers to catch small mouth bass or trout; will you be poking around salt water harbors, flats or estuaries for bluefish or striped bass; are you planning to venture out into the open ocean and launch through the surf; or finally,will this kayak be strictly a fishing vessel or you plan to make it a tool for recreation and relaxation with your family?
Answer the aforementioned questions and once you have the answers to them, then you should be on your way to selecting the best fishing kayak for use on your mission. At this point, using the fishing kayak reviews, do demos for kayaks of all sorts until you get the one that matches your criteria.
What To Look For In A fishing Kayak
Before you go to your local point to purchase the best kayak for fishing, it is good if you understood some of the important characteristics of a fishing kayak. Most of this fishing kayaks can be used for various activities but something to put in mind is that, no one kayak can excel in all the activities. Choosing a kayak is like choose a car or a boat, it means you have to go through a long list of deciding what features and specifications which you think are a must have in your kayak and which ones you can do without. Once you understand this and you have your options, you can go ahead and choose best rated kayak for your particular needs.
Some of the characteristics you should be keen to check include:
SOK or SIK
SOK stands for sit on top kayaks and SIK is an acronym for sit inside kayaks. SOK is preferred by fishermen who are fishing in salt water as they are inherently safe as they can roll over without filling in water and they give the angler more room to move around and even throw a leg on the side to boost stability when dealing with a fish. SIK are preferred for moving water and in situations where light weight craft is desirable. It provides a drier ride than the SOK.
The longer the kayak the easier it becomes to cover the distances. The trade off is a loss of maneuverability in tight spaces and difficulty in transporting the kayak to launch sites.
Most of the kayaks on the market are propelled by paddle power, but the Hobie Mirage Drive Line has an option of pedals, thus making them popular with anglers because they make them to have free hands for fishing. Also growing popularity are the electric motor powered kayaks.
The wider the Kayak, model, the more stable thus supporting more capacity. However, there is more to stability than the width of the kayak.
Storage and Extras
Depending on what you want to carry on board, storage is important. If you will be carrying fish and change of cloth on the kayak, then more space is required for storage purposes. If live bait storage is important to you, consider it when purchasing a kayak.
Consider your car top capacity and what you can carry when choosing a kayak. A heavy kayak might require a wheeled cart to move it down.
Stand and Fish Capability
For extra wide and stable kayaks, they allow anglers to stand and sight cast to fish in the shallows.
It is good to go a kayak with more adjustable seats with firm back support
Stealth, Health and Fashion
When it comes to fishing, color is not very important in order to be successful. Fish don't see as many colors as humans and they pay much attention to shadows than colors and since shadows don't have colors, color isn't important, though some will go for blue so that they blend with the sky or sand color to blend with the beach or camouflage to blend with wooded areas. According to best fishing kayak review, some just choose the color of their kayak based on ability to be seen by others on the water and safety precautions. White, green or blue will be seen to blend well with the waters or surf while yellow is the most visible color followed closely by red and orange.

The Book of the Week is the first paperback edition (with dust jacket) of The Hampdenshire Wonder by J.D. Beresford. First published in hardback in 1911, The Hampdenshire Wonder is the story of a super-intelligent child. This was an important early treatment of the question of what the next phase of human evolution will be, yet has been neglected over the years, as Beresford never realized the fame of his contemporaries H.G. Wells and Olaf Stapledon (whose 1935 classic Odd John was influenced by The Hampdenshire Wonder).
This first paperback edition of The Hampdenshire Wonder was published by Penguin Books in 1937. It was among the first one hundred mass-market paperback books ever printed, all released in England by Penguin between 1935 and 1937, all before Penguin's American counterpart Pocket Books got into the act in 1938. By my reckoning, The Hampdenshire Wonder was the first science fiction book ever published in mass-market paperback. Like all early Penguin paperbacks, The Hampdenshire Wonder lacks cover art, but makes up for that with its dust jacket. Dust jackets on paperback books are a rarity, and vintage paperbacks with intact dust jackets are always collectible.
Penguin and Pocket began to create the market for mass-market paperbacks in the late 1930's, and they took a few years to catch on. But that does not mean readers had to buy hardcover books before that. In fact, there was another inexpensive format available to readers, a format that dominated the fiction market for a half-century before being squeezed out in the 1940's and 50's by paperbacks (and comic books, for younger readers). You will see the first of many examples of that format next week.

Latest news coming from Nigeria is that the Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has been handed a new two-year deal.
The Nigerian Football Federation has showed faith in the Franco-German mentor after leading the West Africans to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
According to OwnGoalNigeria, Rohr has confirmed that he has secured a two-year contract extension.
It is reported that Rohr's contract carried a clause that triggers a two year extension if he qualifies Nigeria for the World Cup, a feat he achieved following their 1-0 win over Zambia in Uyo early this month.
Rohr said he has been told by NFF boss Amaju Pinnick that his contract has been extended and will be officially signed before the Eagles campaign in Russia net year.
"The (NFF) president has already told me that my contract will be extended for another two years," the coach told French newspaper L'Equipe.
However, he downplayed the tag given to him as saviour of Nigerian football, insisting that the quality of the players at his disposal helped him to qualify for the World Cup in Russia.
