As someone who studies animal behavior for a living, I've been at least as interested as anyone else in the emerging discoveries that many animals exhibit homosexual behavior. And, as it happens, I've become something of a go-to person on gay penguins (a subject for another day). But people seem to be missing the real reason the discovery is important, which has little or nothing to do with sexual orientation.
What David Featherstone and his colleagues at the University of Illinois at Chicago found is that male flies with a mutation -- a form of a gene called genderblind -- will court other males rather than females. What is exciting is that the researchers pinned down how and why.
They discovered that the gene controls transport of the neurotransmitter glutamate out of so-called glial cells, which are nervous system cells that do not conduct electrical signals but support other transmitter cells. Glutamate in turn can control the synapses, or junctions between other nerve cells, and synapse strength is important in determining many aspects of behavior. By experimenting with altering synapse strength chemically, independent of the mutation, the researchers homed in on exactly what was at work. Manipulating glutamate transmission, they discovered, allowed them to alter -- sometimes within hours -- whether the flies courted males or females. The altered males interpreted the odors of other flies (the primary come-hither signal) differently from their wild counterparts.
If what's sauce for the fly is sauce for the human, this could mean that chemicals in our own nervous systems are involved with sexual orientation too. And I'll admit that it's entertaining to imagine popping a pill to swing one way for a party, the other for a get-together at grandma's. But that dystopian possibility probably isn't in the cards. The truth is that chemicals no more control who we are sexually attracted to than they do anything else. Which is to say, they control everything and nothing.
What does that mean? Chemicals are how our genes exert their influence. We can link genes to traits like eye color, digestive speed or whether we like mangoes, and we've been able to do that for many years. We've also long known that somewhere, somehow, genes were signaling chemicals to get the job done. But until recently in genetic research, we've been stalled: What chemicals work via what genes, how and why?
What Featherstone's lab did was figure out one such transaction in its details. It joins a handful of other such work in behavioral genetics that have connected a gene to the proteins it codes for and the action of the substances those proteins in turn control. For example, we've also pinned down the chemical mechanisms behind foraging in honeybees and paternal behavior in rodents. Knowing the details is the first prerequisite to unraveling the workings of genetics.
But none of that detracts from something else we have known for many years: All behaviors are a combination of genes and the environment, even in simple organisms like flies. Finding the substance that enacts a genetic code doesn't alter the fact that that code is expressed in a particular environment, and how it is expressed will be influenced by that environment. Interestingly, the Chicago researchers assessed sexual orientation by recording how much time a treated fly spent courting either a male or female test subject -- but the test subjects were always decapitated. This presumably helped control for the inevitable variation that would have been introduced by allowing the other flies to respond. In other words, that aspect of the environment might have affected the behavior that the genes, and the chemicals they deploy, produced.
All traits are like that. They are neither 100% genetically (or chemically) determined, or 100% environmentally determined (or learned). Think of a trait as if it were violin playing. It would be hopelessly pedantic to argue about whether the sound is produced by the violinist or the instrument. It's just as impossible to tease out the exact source of a trait like homosexuality: genetic or environmental. So the straight-to-gay-and-back-again chemical dose for humans (or fruit flies) outside the lab? Highly improbable.
Here's what Featherstone's research could produce. He speculates that it might be used not to produce a sexual-orientation drug but much more narrowly to change the way insects respond to odors: For instance, making insects that usually don't respond to flower odors become pollinators.
I don't know about you, but I find the thought of a cockroach flitting from flower to flower a lot more unsettling than straight/gay flies.

A big welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Hi Bloggie Friends, Angela here to let you know that for all those people who have registered interest in the draw for my giveaway,
I have started making the journal.
The Masterboard is similar to the original, the stamps used are by Tim Holtz, either his own design or chosen by him.
I stamped and embossed onto the paper before too much ink was added which is why some areas appear white.
To prepare the masterboard for construction first I divided the A3 sheet into three sections vertically.
Then cut the paper in half horizontally.
Take the cardboard tubes and flatten them.
Press the fold with a bone folder until it's nice and flat.
Open the paper and lay the tube over it.
Stick down one side of the patterned paper and then the narrow edge.
Bring the other side over and glue into place.
I have cut away a little of the flap so that it will go easily into the tube.
The photo below shows how it should look.
Each of the tubes are completed in the same way.
I will be back later in the week to show you the next stage in making..
Happy crafting,
Angela x

Dear Friends
Our new Church Year has begun with our celebration of Advent Sunday last week. We have begun a new journey of Faith on a well travelled road; a journey of reflection and expectation. We will journey this year with the Gospel of Mark, a book built around the arresting conviction that there is no keeping God at a distance. The writer of Mark's Gospel asks us to reflect on where God is to be found, and suggests that God is not to be found in the expected places: in heaven, in church, in special and magical events. It is not that God is not in these places, but that God is not confined to these spaces, and that these may not in fact be God's favourite spaces. Now there's a thought!
Mark's Gospel, the Good News, is that God is in the ordinariness, the everydayness of life.
I am not sure I want to meet God in the everyday; I suspect I'd be more comfortable keeping God for those special moments in life, when I need God to be GOD. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with God being in the midst of a family disagreement, or in the intimacies I share with my wife. I am not comfortable with God being around when I succumb to road-rage, and share a few choice thoughts with the taxi driver who has just – suddenly – stopped in front of me. Am I comfortable with God being "around"? I'm not so sure.
But I find myself asking, "God, where are you?" Where are you when the person I love is murdered violently? Where are you when I NEED you? Where are you when my loved one is ill? Where are you when natural disasters kill thousands? Where are you when war wracks our world? Where are you when the collapses of national economies make the world sneeze and catch cold? Where are you when famine and civil war overtakes our continent? WHERE ARE YOU, GOD?!
"I am around ..."
Hope and Expectation
God is around, in our midst, incarnate, with us. Advent is lived in the expectation that God will act because God has acted. The incarnation (God born in human form in Jesus) took place over two millennia ago, and seemingly paradoxically – believing as we do that God is already with us through the presence of the Holy Spirit – we prepare for his return. Our Church Year is based around the re-enactment, the remembering of the restoring acts of God in history. It will again, but unique to the present context, remind us that God is with us. And so as we prepare this Advent: what are our expectations; what is our hope? There is always the temptation to demand that God act as we want him to act. The challenge is to allow God to truly be God, and to open our lives to that reality, and to seek God in the brokenness of our lives and society, in the everyday, in the ordinariness of life.
Christmas & New Year
If the speed with which this year has sped by is any indication, Christmas will be here in a blink of an eye! And the New Year will be in swing before we know it. Our Parish Christmas Tea was a huge success last Sunday: a little early, perhaps, but an opportunity to come together as a community before we all head off in different directions for the Christmas break. For those who will be around, please join us for our Christmas Carol Service on Sunday 18 December 2011 at 6pm where we will explore something of the history lying behind some of the better known Carols. There will be the traditional Crib Service at 6pm and Midnight Mass at 10pm on Christmas Eve, followed by a said Christmas Mass at 7am and the Christmas Family Eucharist at 9am on Christmas Day. If family or friends are visiting, please bring them along! For those travelling over this period, please drive carefully and responsibly; and return safely to us in the New Year.
A very blessed Christmas and New Year to you all!

4:19 p.m.
Midway into a Jefferson Parish School Board meeting in Kenner, the board has postponed voting on a budget cut for the Junior Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps.
The board in June voted to shorten the ROTC program from 11 months to 10 months, saving an estimated $243,000 as one item in a long string of budget cuts. Last week ROTC instructors appealed to the board to reverse the decision, saying it deprives students of opportunities to attend summer training camps.
Interim Superintendent James Meza and Chief Financial Officer Raylyn Stevens said last week they are working on a plan to keep the 11th month but reduce the portion of instructor pay that the School Board covers. The Air Force supplements the salaries of the instructors, who are Air Force retirees.
School Board member Mark Morgan, who proposed finding a way to preserve the longer program, said this afternoon that the ROTC and administration need more time to review the planned changes. The board deferred voting until its next meeting, which will be Aug. 9.
While delaying that vote, the board finally proceeded to vote for a technology contract that got caught in an argument between a board member and school executive. The $353,325 contract for AT&T to move and install technology for Ames Montessori School in Marrero was repeatedly withdrawn from consideration before now.
In private meetings, School Board member Pat Tovrea challenged Chief Technology Officer Mable Moore over the contract, accelerating the conversation into what Moore described as volatile behavior. She successfully sought a restraining order against Tovrea that bars him from intimidating her or interfering with her job.
Ames is undergoing an extensive renovation and also will be named after Lionel Collins, a judge who was the first African-American elected to public office in Jefferson Parish. The school will temporarily move to the campus of Woodmere Elementary in Harvey during construction. The AT&T contract includes moving still-current technology to the interim site for 2011-12 and reinstalling it at the home site after that.
The board voted for the contract unanimously, notably including Tovrea, and without comment as part of a package of items in its consent agenda.
Now board members are speaking with representatives of the Chicago area firm Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates, which is helping the board conduct a search for its next permanent superintendent. Consultants from the firm and board members are developing plans for approaching the search.

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
I watched an episode of "House Hunters" recently in which the lady of the house-hunting couple was especially picky (of course) about not having carpeting in her potential dining area. When her husband pointed out some positive aspects of the house (the stainless steel appliances! the granite countertops! the huge yard!), she snapped something to the effect of "OK, but are you going to pick mac and cheese out of that carpet? Because we're going to have kids in a couple of years!"
Exasperated as usual about the unrealistic demands and irrational granite-obsession (you know you have to seal granite but not quartz, right? Granite is a pain in your ass, people!) of most of the people on "House Hunters," I yelled at the TV, "Bitch, you can take the carpets out when you buy the house! And WHY is mac and cheese the first food you can imagine feeding your future child?"
Of the many terrifying responsibilities of parenthood, I consider teaching my son how to eat properly one of the most important. And despite the fact that he's only a year old and I'm still very new at this, I am very careful about what he eats and how often.
I refuse to accept the possibility that he will one day refuse to eat anything but breaded chicken fingers and bow tie pasta. For one thing, maybe I'm hopelessly naive, but if I never feed him those items how can he possibly one day refuse to eat nothing but?
I was an unbelievably picky eater as a child and grew up to be an overweight adult who loves sweets way too much and has trouble differentiating between feeling full and feeling stuffed.
But now I am in charge of the food my son will be exposed to. This is a powerful responsibility.
You should know that I'm obsessed with the book "Bringing Up Bebe."
I read "Bringing Up Bebe" when my son was around one or two months old and it had a tremendous effect on my life. It influenced every aspect of how I'm raising my son and also made me a self-important know-it-all who annoys parents everywhere I go by incessantly bringing up the lessons learned in the book whenever people start to complain about how tired and miserable they are.
But right now I want to talk about food. The food principles I try to follow (largely drawn from the book) are very good and surprisingly common sense. Here they are along with how I've dealt with any issues that might come with them.
1) A child's first food should be fruits or vegetables, not cereal.
This was an easy one. My son's first food was a pureed organic pear from back in the days when I planned to be very virtuous and make all of his purees at home.
There's no medical reason your baby needs to have cereal. Pediatricians currently advise parents to start giving solids somewhere between 4 to 6 months, usually depending on how the baby is sleeping or how much formula or breast milk they drink in any 24 hour period. It also depends on what they do with the food they are given: if they instinctively push the spoon out with their tongue, they are not quite ready for solids.
We tried a few spoonfuls of pear when he was around 4 months and he did OK with it (this event produced the most hilarious baby side-eye "WTF is THIS?" face ever caught on video), but since he was averaging less than 40 ounces of formula a day and he slept well, we waited until 6 months to officially start his food life. I generally tried to give him cereal once a day (baby oatmeal, because that rice cereal tastes like cardboard) because I wanted to make sure he got the extra iron, but my doctor said it didn't make a difference.
2) Children should have 3 solid meals a day and one snack and everyone eats at approximately the same time: 8:00am, 12:00pm, 4:00pm (snack) and 8:00pm.
It took a VERY long time for me to get baby down to only 4 bottles a day, but it hasn't been that hard to get to this specific schedule. I am concerned this will be harder to follow in day-to-day life of suburban mommyhood as baby gets more active and more vocal.
I see lots of kids doing lots of continuous snacking. Snacking while running around and playing; the HORROR! But I already know well that when baby is very hungry he is more likely to eat a solid meal that includes fruits and vegetables. He usually gets up at 7:00 or 7:30 and has a breakfast of cut up fruit (banana, ripe pear, pineapple) then toast or a multigrain waffle with butter and jam (or schmancy apple butter from Whole Foods -- a new discovery!), plus a 4 oz bottle.
He usually has a midmorning nap and eats lunch at around 11:30 or 12:00. I cut up some vegetables when I start to hear him wake up. This might be roasted sweet potatoes or carrots, blanched broccoli or cauliflower, or just raw grape tomatoes cut in quarters. He starts with those while I cut up some sort of protein (leftover chicken or steak, cheese if I have nothing cooked).
I only put a little bit of food on his tray at a time because he shovels it in and has a tendency to keep too much in his mouth and gag a bit. Dessert might be some more cut up fruit or maybe some applesauce. Then, another 4 oz bottle of milk.
He doesn't eat anything else until 3:30 or so, when I give him a snack of some fruit and cheese or fruit and some sort of organic Cheerio-type cereal, plus some more milk. Then he usually has another nap. He eats his dinner at around 7:30 and this also starts with vegetables, then protein, then usually yogurt for dessert before his milk.
I know I need to give him more to drink throughout the day and if he seems especially thirsty, he will drink water. I have no plans to give him juice, as I see no nutritional need for it. He should be getting enough vitamins from the fruits and vegetables he eats and enough fluids from water and milk.
3) Everyone sits down to eat and has a conversation.
We don't always manage to do this, but we definitely try. I eat my breakfast in front of the TV while baby plays in his play yard. I usually eat my lunch at the dining table while baby eats in his high chair. If dinner is ready on time and my husband is home early enough, we all eat together. When baby is older and can converse in actual sentences (as opposed to his current style of vaguely Portuguese-sounding jargoning), I am going to be annoyingly strict about this because I think eating together and having conversation as a family is very important.
4) Children must taste everything (Not the "clean your plate" rule most of us fat North Americans were forced to follow).
This is really hard. I want to tell you that I've been writing this article in fits and starts for about a week of baby naptimes and evenings with nothing good on TV. And in this relatively short period of time my son has suddenly and abruptly become fussy about food. The carrots he devoured yesterday for dinner are left untouched at today's lunch. Ditto broccoli. Ditto cantaloupe.
My current optimistic theory is that his teeth are bothering him, which is why he has only been eager to eat purees the past few days. I desperately hope that it isn't some magic switch that went off in his head that said, "Wait, I'm a toddler now. I am supposed to refuse to eat anything you try to feed me."
Here is the other thing I keep trying to remind myself: that we can like a lot of foods and still not be in the mood for every single one of them all the time. My parents happened to be visiting last week when baby played with some mandarins without eating them. I went to get a different type of fruit and my mother said, "He won't eat that either." But he did. He just didn't want the mandarin.
I am hoping this will get better when baby gets older and has better language skills. But the mantra that I practice in my head when I (worry) think about the future is, "You have to taste it. You have to taste everything. Just a taste. Just a taste." And I've also been trying to practice what I preach and incorporate new foods into my own diet (hello, kale?). Studies have shown that it can take 5 to 10 tastes before we like a new food, so it's important to be gently persistent about tasting.
5) Children eat in courses, with the vegetables first when they are most hungry.
This sounds like it would be hard to do, but it's actually quite easy and allows me to get lots of stuff done while baby is eating. For the past few months or so baby has been eating almost exclusively table food cut or ripped into small pieces. If I don't have something already cut up, he plays with a book or toy in the highchair while I get the first course ready. While he eats, I prep the rest of his meal and might empty the dishwasher, feed the dog, put laundry in the machine or dryer, play with my phone, and sit down to eat my own food with him.
So, yes. I've been struggling a bit to get food into him lately, but baby is happy and growing and trying to climb any and all staircases he sees.
Talk to me about feeding your babies and toddlers! If they were good eaters at 9-11 months, did they stay that way?

Finished off this neonatal that I worked on while on retreat. I found I already had a piece of flannel with numerals in the same bright colors for the backing.
This started as a Multiple Trips Around the World, but the size of the blocks were going to make it too large for the new neonatal guidelines. Therefore I stopped with nine blocks, which meant a change to a bargello setting.
This is my sixth quilt for the collection in March at our Guild.

While the patent wars continue to rage on, we've largely left them uncovered – it's just a bunch of lawyers filing briefs and arguing against each other in court, and nothing really comes out of it because the situation also changes on a day-to-day basis, and while mutually assured destruction is possible, it's more likely that money will exchange hands, designs will slightly change, and the world will keep on turning.
However, when the patent war starts to directly affect consumers, then it must be reported, and US customers are getting their first taste of the drawbacks of the war: the HTC One X and Evo 4G LTE are currently being held in US Customs while they investigate whether the devices violate US patents.
See, Apple won an exclusion order that blocked importation of HTC Android devices due to a Sense UI feature that popped up a menu when a phone number is tapped for texting or calling that number. Apple owns the patent on it, and right now US Customs is investigating to see if these new devices violate patents. Because the process is confidential – and not subject to Freedom of Information Act requests – we won't know the results unless or until HTC can sell the phone.
Of course, for the end user, this could wind up a mess if phones are blocked from import, with features removed when they do reach our shores. As well, depending on how HTC reacts to this (because Apple is violating patents themselves), if they try to block iPhones as a revenge move, or if other manufacturers try to pull the same thing, then the potential for mutually assured destruction – severely delayed and/or crippled phone releases – does exist, and that would be a poor outcome for all involved.
Of course, patents on technology have been problematic before – Apple paid a lot of money to resolve a case over a Creative patent on MP3 players' interfaces in the past decade. So money could exchange hands, and ultimately consumers won't see the brunt of it, and everything is harmony until someone else comes up with a new innovation that someone else claims violates their patent, and the world will keep on turning. We can only hope that's the case.

You've heard it at least a thousand times in the media. Now, it's time to listen to the word "credit crunch" used in office situations, too. The Daily Telegraph reports on new jargon in the UK:
Reflecting travel, favourites include "clocking real mileage", meaning a really strong idea, "reaching the blue ocean of success", or reaching a goal, and "get a helicopter view by turning 360 and then circling back to your colleagues", or taking a step back.
Other jargon includes "Down to that level of granularity" which means attention to detail, while feeling "stressurised" is a combination of being under pressure and stress at the same time.
A list of new office jargon:
The two CC's (credit crunch and current climate)
Clocking real mileage (a really strong idea)
A high altitude view (taking a step back)
Reaching the blue ocean of success (reaching a goal)
Get a helicopter view by turning 360° and then circling back to your colleagues (taking a step back)
Let's run that idea up the flag pole and see if it flies (try out an idea)
Picking the low-lying fruit (a quick win)
Down to that level of granularity (detail)
Let's touch base about that offline (have a chat face-to-face)
Feeling stressurised (under pressure and stress)
Strategic staircase (a plan for the future)
Better not let the grass grow too long on this one (act quickly).
I'm stressurised about my strategic staircase, so I'd better not let the grass grow too long on this one. Ugh.

Harvey had to lay down the law on the mid-season premiere of "Suits." Of course Mike didn't want to play by the rules -- after all, he is a lawyer who never actually passed the bar and isn't technically supposed to practice law. Harvey has gone out on a limb to protect his protege time and again, but every once in a while, he has to reestablish their relationship.
"You know what? I've had it up to here with you blaming me for every choice that comes with this job," Harvey told Mike. "The next time I have the option to cross a line to save you, I'll send you packing and not think twice."
Mike was clearly still reeling from the loss of his grandmother and his parents before that. It was clearly clouding his judgment. Harvey once again backed his unorthodox play to protect him -- this time, he had to go through with a bribe -- but he rightfully knocked some sense into the younger man.
In fact, he knocked so much sense into him that Mike went home and ended things with Tess. The two of them weren't doing one another any favors, and the future only looked dark -- and high -- if they'd stayed together any longer.
Tune in for new episodes of "Suits" every Thursday at 10 p.m. EST on USA.

From Mobile, Alabama, USA:
I have a patient with type 2 diabetes who is in the hospital right on a sliding scale insulin regimen and is being considered for Lantus. I was approached by a resident and asked how to convert her sliding scale insulin dose (Regular insulin) to a daily dose for Lantus, but I have been unsuccessful in finding the answer in primary literature. Can you provide any methods?
There is no magic formula. Usually, we take all of the total daily dose of intermediate based insulin for 24 hours and start with 80% of that dose as a single bedtime Lantus (insulin glargine) dosage. if people are already on multidose insulin intensified programs, this is too much of a cutback. If they have not been doing well beforehand, then this is a safe starting place. We do some pre and one to two hour postprandial blood glucose readings for a few days before making such a switch and begin to create algorithms with either Humalog or NovoLog as the bolus program. Using approximately 1 unit of short-acting analog to cover about 15 grams of carbs is also a good starting place.
After the first day, everything is empirical based upon continued pre and postprandial monitoring. We push the Lantus dose (or cut it) based upon overnight blood glucose readings and especially fasting blood glucose readings. We adjust the meal-time algorithms based upon pre and postprandial readings as well. Monitoring is the key while keeping amounts of food, carbs and activity as steady as possible for several days. Sometimes the Lantus does not last 24 hours and we add either a morning dose of Lantus to the bedtime dose -- or a small amount of lunchtime NPH. This would cover the late afternoon hyperglycemia as the bedtime Lantus effect wanes.
Sometimes snacks that were warranted on previous insulin programs are no longer need so that cutting back or eliminating afternoon food/snack will also prevent pre-dinner hyperglycemia. Same rule, however: use blood glucose readings as your guide and don't go by previous assumptions. In very young children, sometimes we use Lantus before breakfast and not at bedtime, but this has not been so commonly seen in adults, although it is certainly possible -- all based upon blood glucose readings.

Top 100 Agencies 2015: Klick Health
When agency-profile assignments are dished out at the MM&M offices in late April, they're generally accepted without cheer or dismay. You get who you get, you do your research, you do the interviews and you call it an afternoon—unless, that is, you have the good fortune to be assigned Klick Health as one of your profilees, in which case you give yourself a silent high five, knowing that at least one of your calls will feel less like a chore and more like a glimpse under the hood of a really cool car.
Even so, you can't help but be taken a little aback when Leerom Segal, Klick's co-founder and CEO, kicks off his discussion of the agency's recent fortunes by talking about … the power and allure of ice cream? Yes, the power and allure of ice cream. As part of the "Getting a Taste of Klick" recruiting push, through which it hoped to locate and hire around 150 people, the company sent a Klick-branded ice-cream cart deep into the heart of enemy territory. While Segal won't venture a numerical guess as to the volume of ice cream the agency's street teams dished out, he offers that it was "a lot."
Klick pursued the employee-acquisition battle on other fronts as well, like elevator screens in buildings populated by the competition. It also coordinated a pair of events, one at Ripley's Aquarium of Canada and another at the Air Canada Centre, which allowed prospective employees to gaze into the crystal ball of a possible future with Klick. The agency didn't claim that its competitors wouldn't be able to coordinate a few laps around the rink with hockey dignitaries like Wendell Clark, but, well, that was sort of implied.
Did it work? Of course it worked. Segal reports a 220% growth in applications and that activity on Klick's LinkedIn page was "cranked up." It's not as if the company put the plan into motion and then stepped away—"we needed to train more than 40 of our people to be rapid-interviewing ambassadors, so we could get a sense of somebody's culture fit really quickly," he notes—but the approach felt entirely appropriate for Klick. To frame it another way: How many healthcare marketing holding companies would attack the problem in a similar manner?
Segal dismisses this and other recent successes with characteristic self-deprecation: "We've been consistently lucky for the last 18 years." At the same time, Klick took things to the proverbial next level in 2014, growing head count from 350 to 448 (that's before "Getting a Taste" started to work its tasty magic). It pushed revenue past the $100-million milestone, to an estimated $115 million, up 30% over 2013. (Klick won't confirm or dispute the figure; per a Klick spokesperson, "As a private organization, we don't disclose our financials beyond saying over $100 million/year [in revenue].")
With that kind of growth—insert "explosive," "volcanic" or other appropriately hyperbolic adjective here—comes the inevitable concern about continually replenishing the talent font. Admittedly, this is the kind of problem most agencies would kill to have, not unlike a logjam at the front desk prompted by hordes of would-be clients trying to get an audience with agency brass. But in dealing with the issue the way it did, Klick showed the ingenuity—and the competitiveness—that characterizes almost everything the agency does.
"To secure our future [talent] pipeline, I think we needed to make our recruiting more experiential," Segal says. "The numbers get a little crazy. You can't do what we were trying to do with traditional approaches to recruiting."
It is here we pause to note that we're approximately 570 words into a profile of Klick and we haven't yet gotten around to discussing the agency's work. And perhaps that is Klick's particular genius: That it generates so much excitement around itself that clients are drawn in even before they get an earful about the company's strategic and tactical thinking.
Once they get that earful, especially about the company's next-gen digital know-how, they tend to stick around for a bit. Klick isn't keen to discuss client/brand specifics, but the company is known to do its share of work for Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi, Novartis and AstraZeneca.
According to Klick president Lori Grant, a great majority of the agency's new business ("close to 90%") comes from existing clients. "It speaks to the strength of those partnerships," she says. "We have an entire client experience team now, which works to make sure the relationships we have stay tight and focused and generate a real impact." Segal, in fact, adds that impact alone is no longer enough: "We've been working to make sure there is a massive value-add in every interaction with Klick. That's the new standard we're holding ourselves to."
Along those lines, Klick's recent innovations have a decided mad-scientist feel to them (that's a compliment). The agency formally debuted its Sensei Labs arm in 2014, hoping to ease the often- challenging launch process for biotech companies. It invested heavily in what Grant calls "science visualization," programs and technology designed to help audiences "really experience an advancement in medicine in a way they haven't before." One of Klick's Oculus Rift installations allows the user to travel through a blood vessel in the throes of an allergic reaction. There's more where that came from: In June Klick announced a partnership with ARHT Media to use "a suite of products involving 3-D, holographic and proximity marketing technology" in the agency's programming, according to a press release.
Then there are the company's efforts in the realm of thought leadership, which expanded significantly in early 2015 with the introduction of its MUSE series of experiential events. "We realized that there were a lot of formal conferences but that they tended to skew toward purely industry people," Segal explains. "So we started to run some experiments where we'd bring in a different mix of people. The best comparison is the salons from the Age of Enlightenment, but instead of poets and philosophers and painters we invited physicians and researchers and people from academia." The first four MUSE get-togethers, held in Boston, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia, proved such a success that Klick is already working to get the next batch on the schedule.
Factor in Klick's other programming— like the inaugural Klick Ideas Exchange in June, which served as an opening event for the BIO International Convention and was keynoted by a fella you might've heard of, name of Bill Clinton—and it's clear that the company's ambition as a thought leader matches its ambition as a healthcare marketer.
"There are similarities," Segal says. "We're trying to inspire new connections. We're trying to help people contextualize the human impact of the work we do. With all these changes happening in our landscape, we're going to keep trying to inoculate ourselves against the status quo."

A technique for horse euthanasia where two ropes are looped around the lame horse and are then tied to two healthy horses. The healthy horses gallop in opposite directions at full speed. The ropes become taught and decapitate the lame horse almost instantly.
"In the mid-nineteenth century, the horse pull was the preferred way to discard a lame or sickly horse. During the peak of its popularity, the entire farm would come to watch the horse pull. Occasionally, people from nearby towns would join too."

Comments about Sabian HH Power Bell Ride Cymbal:
I've been sporting a Zildjian Ping ride for over 20 years (from back before they had the lower end liness... ya know... when the Zildjian name was enough to imply quality and you didn't have to rely on badges like Avedis, K, or A-Custom to know it was a nice cymbal). Anywho... I love it for SO many reasons, but it lacks volume and it sports a tiny little bell. So, after hearing Shannon Larkin play this HH live, I thought it might be worth the price tag. While I'm sure he gets the "best" one to come off the line any time he wants... I'm equally sure it's the same exact cymbal. They even etch the craftsman's signature under the bell... how cool is that? The bell is LOUD and clear and punishing if you so desire. And yet the "ride" quality is still amazing... the thing sings beautifully. No washy overtones or hums... really an ideal sounding ride that has the added advantage of VOLUME! Do yourself a favor and invest in a beefy stand... it's gotta be 30 pounds or more... it's a massive cymbal.
Comments about Sabian HH Power Bell Ride Cymbal:
This is a great cymbal it has a well defined ride sound without to much wash but just enough for a good metal sound. The Bell is amazing loud and cutting but with a ping sound not the "pang" like the soundcaster mega bell. This isnt as good for crashing though, but what would you expect from something as heavy. overall great buy and great sound, worth the price especialy if your looking for some great metal and rock sound.
Comments about Sabian HH Power Bell Ride Cymbal:
While Guitar Center apparently only offers the traditional finish the Brilliant finish for this ride is absolutely amazing. A distinct and cut-through ping from this ride will surf atop all other soundwaves as it's loud capabilities make the Power Bell perfect for gigging and recording (heavy styles mostly). The bell has so many timbres to it with different stick placements and contact points. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to blast.
Comments about Sabian HH Power Bell Ride Cymbal:
The BEST ride for rock/metal. Saved up my pretty pennies to buy this and it is 100% worth it. Im a huge godsmack and pantera fan and after hearing the sound of this ride from the two of them I had to get one for myself. Super cutting bell and great defined bow sound this ride is worth every penny!

Comments about Sabian HH Power Bell Ride Cymbal:
I am gigging with a 80's hair metal act, this thing sounds appropriate. weighs a ton, needs its own cymbal bag. very happy with it.

SDCC: Archie Forever: Life, Afterlife and Beyond
Fans of the Riverdale gang packed the hall at 2014 Comic-Con International in San Diego Thursday morning. Though recent years have seen publisher Archie Comics expand beyond the generally squeaky-clean antics of the girl-crazy Archie, and the past twelve months have continued to expand the company's experimentaton. The Eisner-nominated zombie horror series "Afterlife With Archie" and the headline-grabbing "Death of Archie" story arc proved just the start of where Archie's panel would go.
An all-star panel of Archie alum featuring Archie Comics Publisher/Co-CEO Jon Goldwater, Co-President/Editor-in-Chief Victor Gorelick, President Mike Pellerito, Chief Creative Officer and writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, "Afterlife with Archie" artist Francesco Francavilla, "Kevin Keller" writer/artist Dan Parent, and "Life with Archie" writer Michael Uslan dished on what's next for Riverdale, with moderator Alex Segura overseeing it all.
The panel began in celebratory form with Goldwater acknowledging the decades-long commitment of Gorelick to Archie Comics. "He's been with Archie for 56 years! He has been in the comic book business, which is such a volatile business, and has stayed with one company the entire time. I think it's time that Comic-Con honors Victor!" Goldwater said, prompting a standing ovation from the audience. "So if you guys would, when you have a moment after Comic-Con is over and the dust has settled, send Comic-Con an e-mail and let's get Victor the award from Comic-Con that he deserves next year. Can we do that?" he asked to more applause.
The panel then moved to discuss the perhaps the biggest order of business: the recently-completed "Death of Archie" storyline in the publisher's "Life With Archie" magazine — the mere mention of which elicited a mix of applause and audible boos. "He's okay!" Goldwater assured the crowd. "He went to school today, actually, and he has a date tonight. I promise you, he's okay."
"'The Death of Archie' has been a long, long process," Segura continued, "and it's the culmination of 'Life with Archie,' but really it all goes back to Jon. I vividly remember that meeting, Jon, where you said, 'this is the perfect way to end this series.'"
Goldwater gave the credit to Uslan, who started the "Life with Archie" series which allowed the company to explore new storylines with the Archie characters, and who thought that Archie's death would be a poignant way to wrap it up. "Really we've been talking about this for a little over two years, and we're here now at this moment. I know that in the 'Life with Archie' book Archie passes away, he meets his end. But he meets his end in a way which I think is heroic. Archie did end up taking the bullet for Kevin Keller. But he would take the bullet for me, for all these guys on the panel, for any of you. That's the kind of person he is. So this was our way to show what kind of a man Archie has been for the last nearly 75 years. It's a celebration of who he is and what he means to Riverdale and to all of us," Goldwater said.
"But teenage Archie is still fine, and he will be for another 75 plus years at least. He's not going anywhere," the CEO assured.
"Life with Archie" #36 featured the fatal moment of Archie's sacrifice, and the current issue #37 returns to Riverdale one year later as Archie's friends and the rest of the world still grapple with his loss. Goldwater assured the crowd that it was an inspiring story that would make them proud to be Archie fans. The panel took a moment to show off some of the variant covers for issue #37 from a roster of comics stars that included Fiona Staples, Walt Simonson, Alex Ross, and Francavilla.
From there talk moved to the growing Archie horror line, which found surprising success with the zombie book "Afterlife with Archie." Segura introduced the newest addition to the line, "Sabrina." Sabrina the Teenage Witch was, after all, the unwitting catalyst for the zombie apocalypse seen in "Afterlife with Archie," and the new series hopes to flesh out some of the character's backstory in an all-new setting. Writer Aguirre-Sacasa is working on the book with artist Robert Hack, and said that it was influenced by '70s horror like "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Exorcist."
"Sabrina is a character that is very, very dear to my heart," Aguirre-Sacasa said. "She's such a kind of epic character with one foot in the mortal world dating Harvey and one foot in the Dynasty of Witches. Francisco had introduced me to the work of Robert Hack, who has a real retro style. We wanted to do homage to the 'Chilling Adventures in Sorcery' book that Archie put out years ago (in the 1970s). We wanted to bring Sabrina from her birth up through her teenage years, and really delve into that mythology. It is a scary book, but it's also a fun book and we really explore every facet of her personality. It comes out the first week of October."
Sabrina will gets some time to shine ahead of her leading debut in "Afterlife with Archie" #6, which went on sale last week. The panel presented some of the book's interior pages by Francavilla, with Sabrina diving into a rich blue sea, only to be attacked by a giant tentacled monster. "It's probably the creepiest thing I've read, ever," Segura said.
"I have to give Francisco full props," said Aguirre-Sacasa. "The whole reason there is an 'Afterlife with Archie' is because Francisco did a 'Life with Archie' variant cover with Archie in the graveyard and zombies coming after him, and Jon Goldwater and I were having breakfast and we had a Eureka moment that came from that cover. (Issue #6) is a big book for us because a lot of people thought that 'Afterlife' was a 5-issue limited series, but this issue opens the world. We'll catch back up in issue #7 with the kids."
"Sabrina is my favorite character to draw," added Francavilla. "I guess I'm on the wrong book."
Despite the success of these offbeat concepts, the panelists assured fans that the company does not plan to take Archie too far from his roots. "There's zombie apocalypse and Archie is dying and various versions, but the bread and butter is the Archie teen stories that fans of every age seem to connect with," Segura said. The panel teased a couple upcoming issues of "Archie," including one in which Sabrina's mischievous cat Salem turns the gang into animals during a visit to the zoo, and one in which Archie tries to go on dates with four different girls simultaneously. "Mike is a great springboard for some of these teen Archie and he came up with the idea, what if Archie had four dates in one night, kind of exploding the usual story where he's got two," Segura added.
They moved on to introduce Dark Circle, the company's re-launched superhero line. "We had a bit of a re-branding a few weeks ago and are reviving our superhero circle of characters. You may have known them as Red Circle characters; they are Dark Circle characters now. And that's a mission statement. We are trying to restart these characters in unique ways. We're not trying to make them similar to what you see out there already at DC, Marvel, or Image. We're taking more of a cinematic approach with them," Segura said.
The first character revealed was a dark, noir-feeling Black Hood, featured in covers by Michael Gaydos and David Mack. The panel promised that the Duane Swierczynski-penned title would be a dark crime comic for adults and readers interested in superhero comics. The second was a revamped Shield, which Pellerito described as "an empowered and strong female character that represents the country today." "The Shield" is written by Adam Christopher with art by Chuck Wendig.
"We're going to be competing with Marvel and DC, so it's a really important initiative for this company," Goldwater continued. The line is due to re-launch in early 2015.
Pellerito also announced some new comics based on their video game licensed comics, including "Sonic Boom" featuring characters from Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog universe and tied to a new game and cartoon, and Capcom's Mega Man. In addition to new solo comics, the two characters are set to cross over in an upcoming limited series.
The final piece of news is set to answer the question: "What would happen if Betty and Veronica bailed?" The incoming "Farewell Betty and Veronica" story launches next month and runs into next year. "Betty and Veronica have been the heart and soul of Archie comics, respectively, for 73 and 72 years. I love shaking up the dynamics in Riverdale, and finding a way to jar everybody's sensibilities," Uslan said. This story offers the chance to do that by sending the pair on a foreign exchange trip to Europe, Asia, and different parts of the world. On the home front, "all the energy is going to be sucked out of Riverdale. What is going to happen, for the first time in all these years, with them not being there? It gives everyone a chance to reevaluate themselves and who they are. Everything seems just lifeless… until the two other foreign exchange students replacing them show up in Riverdale," he teased. The multicultural duo — one girl is from India and one is from France — will change Riverdale and Archie forever.
"Meanwhile we are going to follow Betty and Veronica overseas. It's almost miraculous that any woman or girl can easily, quickly identify themselves as either a Betty or a Veronica," Uslan noted. He polled the room to see how the women there identified themselves (Bettys outnumbered Veronicas 2-to-1). He went on to reveal that at one point in the story, the two will actually trade identities for the first time in 73 years and "learn exactly what it means to be a Betty and exactly what it means to be a Veronica."
As the panel drew to a close, it was clear that despite his death, Archie seems to be doing better than ever. With a GLAAD media award win, a Harvey nomination, a new slate of titles, and a new $5.99 subscription service offering unlimited digital access to the company's entire history called "Archie Unlimited," Archie Comics is working hard to serve a wide range of readers in new ways, and with exciting new stories. And based on the temperature of that room in San Diego, they are succeeding.

The identity of the person in the grave has been hanging over this season of Arrow, but it's also haunting for members of cast, who have been left just as much in the dark as the fans regarding the unknown victim. TVGuide.com spoke to star David Ramsey about who he thinks is in the grave, who he thinks is safe and Wednesday's episode, which puts the spotlight on Diggle's tumultuous relationship with his brother Andy (Eugene Byrd) and their connection to the clandestine organization Shadowspire. Check out everything Ramsey revealed below.
Wednesday'sepisode is another big Diggle-centric hour. What's it been like for you getting to get to explore so much of Diggle's life outside of Team Arrow and his past?
David Ramsey: It feels great. Diggle's married again for the second time, has a child, is probably the most evolved and adjusted character on the show. He has a uniform, so to speak. He's come in contact with his once thought dead brother. There's a rich, rich character that four seasons in that we can really sink our teeth into. We see that he can lead Team Arrow in the absence of Oliver (Stephen Amell). His wife is intimately involved in A.R.G.U.S. There's a lot of story to tell with this character.
How would you describe where Diggle and Andy's relationship stands before this episode and where it goes from there?
Ramsey: Going into the episode we see just one more example of how opposite these guys are. He's not the same person that he knew. He's not the person that he mourned. But this episode is the first time we really get to see the man he did love. When we met Diggle, he was mourning the death of his brother. That really affected his life. And we see no virtuous elements to this guy up to this point. But I think by the end of this episode we really do see the man Diggle loved. We really see a different side of Andy. And there's a ray of sunshine in terms of what he can offer, in terms of helping us take Damien Dahrk (Neil McDonough) down.
How Legends of Tomorrow will intersect with Arrow and The Flash
Diggle obviously feels very conflicted toward Andy, but how would you say Andy feels towards Diggle?
Ramsey: Andy says very profoundly that he never took to the military the way Diggle did. He just wasn't wired, didn't have that circuitry. So there's always been a sense of "You're the good guy, I'm the bad guy," even when they were young. And we see some of that in the flashbacks. But there's a courageousness and a bravery and a heart that just seems to be in the nature of the Diggle family in general. We're going to see that in this episode: They both share the same heart at the core. They both are incredibly brave. They both are incredibly courageous. They both have a strong sense of right. It's just that Andy kind of went his own way... I think he regretted that, but as he went through life, Andy probably just accepted that they were different and this is just the way he'll be.
What do you think is the best case scenario for Diggle and Andy's relationship? Could they ever become as close as they once were and truly rebuild the trust between them?
Ramsey: Just knowing the characters in that universe, John isn't accepting or forgiving enough to accept Andy back in the fold. I don't think Andy is that person. I don't think Andy is far gone, but he's gone enough to the dark side that he accepts that that's who he is. For the most part, he's the bad seed and he's OK with that. The conflict in Oliver doesn't really exist in Andy, I don't think. The conflict that exists in Diggle with playing with shades of wrong, doesn't exist in Andy. Like Amanda Waller, Andy is OK if 30 percent of the hostages die in order to save the other seventy. And that's just the philosophy that he has.
We get to explore Diggle and Andy's past in the Army together. What can you say about that and how they were tied to Shadowspire?
Ramsey: We see some of that in this episode, how they got tied into Shadowspire. And we spend a good portion of time on that, but really this is about Shadowspire's involvement with Andy because of his involvement with H.I.V.E. and H.I.V.E.'s involvement with Damien Dahrk. And we get back to that pretty quickly because that's really where we want our focus to shift back to: how this all connects to Damien Dahrk, because he's ultimately the baddie. It's H.I.V.E. and Shadowspire but all of it is connected to this magical force that is connected to Damien Dahrk.
How long before Diggle and Oliver connect the dots between their shared encounters with Shadowspire and Baron?
Ramsey: I think there's still some story left to be told about that. I can't say how long it's going to take. I don't know the full arc of the season, but the dots will get connected. There's still a lot of story left to tell in terms of how that happens. What happens to Felicity [Emily Bett Rickards] is part of that, how that affects the team is part of that. So every single part of this affects our response to this mystical force that is Damien Dahrk, including Felicity's physical trial right now.
We know it's not Felicity, but who else do you think is the least likely to be in the grave?
Ramsey: I think we all have a bull's-eye on our backs, so to speak. It could be any of us. I've got to tell you, that really helps the morale on the show on set every day when we go to work. We're on our best behavior! The least likely I would guess would be Capt. Lance (Paul Blackthorne), only because of the reaction. To get our sweet Felicity to say to Oliver, "You know what you have to do. You've got to kill this son of a bitch." I was like wow! She's talking like Lyla, Amanda Waller or even Oliver. So to get her to say that would have to be a very, very meaningful death. And not to say that Lance wouldn't be meaningful, but it would have to mean something to the team. And Lance, even though he's been a great ally, I don't think she would be affected that way by Capt. Lance's death. So, it has to be someone closer to the team. And I hate to say it but, you know, I'm right there. I'm on the chopping block. So, we'll see.
Arrow airs Wednesday at 8/7c on The CW.

School's out (side) for Spring!
In a school in Hungary, the bell rings the start of a noisy week day. Like in many schools, the grounds fill with happy laughter, the bouncing of balls, children running and playing. But this spring a new noise rang through the air of the Ady Endre Primary in Gyál: the chirrrps and tseeps of House Martins on their arrival from Africa. Rather than distracting from studies, the children go outside in their lessons to see what it's all about! They say there are at least 10 nests under the eaves of the school building, not too far from each other.
Art teacher Ms Viktória Szabó says: "The House Martins have kept busy ever since they arrived, lately by feeding their chicks. We've tried taking photos of them but it's not an easy task because they fly really fast!"
Viktória is sharing her enthusiasm for nature with her classes through the Spring Alive programme, which this year has encouraged children to celebrate the return of swallows to their neighborhoods.
Spring Alive is a BirdLife International educational conservation initiative organised by OTOP (BirdLife in Poland) that encourages children to take action for the conservation of the migratory birds they learn about. Intimately associated with humans, swallows and martins are a species that anyone, almost anywhere can help with.
The 30 pupils of Viktória's class have learnt loads about swallows and martins! Through music, literature, writing, and environmental studies, Class 3/a now knows about their migration, nesting and feeding habits.
"They've looked at pictures, listened to presentations, and created drawings and photographs for the Spring Alive competitions of the small colony living on the school grounds," says Viktória.
They've become 'House Martin Scientists' and monitored the stages of nest building and chick development, using the material on the Spring Alive website and going outside to see the birds.
Despite all the noises of the school, it is clear the House Martins are not disturbed. Instead, these local birds are perhaps these children's first window into nature conservation, or even an understanding that the birds they are seeing are shared with other children in Africa.
As the European season of Spring Alive has come to a close, the project will move with the migratory birds into Africa.
10 reasons for your child to celebrate spring with Spring Alive!
"Recognising the arrival of migratory birds also brings a broader understanding of nature," says Karolina Kalinowska, Spring Alive coordinator. "Some bird migrations are so huge, they are almost beyond comprehension. For local children, Spring Alive brings an opportunity to think globally."
Thinking back to when you were at school – wasn't it great to go outside and explore? Thanks to Spring Alive these lucky children in Hungary got to do it as part of their lessons!
