Research vs. Business: "I really want to see the results of science go to patients and get into actual use!" - Laura Koivusalo
Laura Koivusalo, a co-founder and CEO of StemSight is passionate about the commercial side of things because it is the most effective way to get science to help society. She encourages researchers to come out of academia and push their innovations forward so it can get to the people.

StemSight – curing blindness with stem cells
Corneal transplants are the most common tissue transplants apart from blood transfusion. However, there are about 70 times more patients waiting for a transplant than donors. StemSight seeks to cure corneal blindness by making off-the-shelf grafts from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). HiPSCs are skin or blood cells that have been reprogrammed into an embryonic-like pluripotent state, serving as an unlimited source for the development of any type of human cells needed.
"The cornea is complex, so we are approaching it one cell type at a time" Koivusalo explains. Currently StemSight owns intellectual properties for two types of cornea cells: limbal stem cells – which regenerate the corneal surface epithelium, and the corneal endothelial cells – which make up the inner lining of the cornea.

The transition from academia to business
Laura Koivusalo graduated as a Doctor of Science from Heli Skottman's group at Tampere university where she developed biomaterial carriers for delivering cells to the cornea. During that time, she worked with the limbal stem cells as a side project. She did her Master's in Tampere University of Technology in material science, tissue engineering and Bachelor's in health biosciences at Turku University.
Even though Koivusalo enjoyed her time as an academic researcher, she had always wanted to get into business to see the results of science go to patients and get into actual use. She ended up doing a PhD because she was at the time looking for a permanent job and came across the position in Skottman's group. It was perfect timing, and the project was really interesting. It was during her PhD that she got involved in the project that later spun off into StemSight

The deeper you dive, the faster you learn to swim
"I never thought I would be the CEO of a company", Koivusalo says smiling. Laura started out going to pitching competitions, looking for someone with business skills to join the StemSight founding team of researchers. It was at one of such competitions that one of the judges told her "You're doing great, and the idea is great, but you don't need anyone else to do it. Any one of you can be the CEO." This was a light bulb moment for the team and Laura ended up as CEO!
Pitching requires a lot of work in formulating the concept of your company, business strategies, the product and the target consumers. Going to pitching competitions early on helped StemSight get good feedback and work better on their products and strategy. It also helped them think of ways to present complex biological issues in an understandable way. The better you understand science, the easier it is to pack it into an understandable form: making the complex simpler.
"Anyone starting a business should join early mentoring/incubator programs that give you opportunities to talk about your ideas and get feedback", Koivusalo advises. "You need to start talking about your ideas quite early otherwise you end up building a product nobody wants, understands or needs. So yes, go in early and the deeper you dive, the faster you learn to swim."
Busy business
Timeline appears very different between business and academia. In a company, many things are tried and those that don't work are discarded more quickly as opposed to academia. The focus in academia is quite different. "In our company, more important goals are prioritized, because at the moment we have a rather small team" Laura emphasizes.
Regarding the differences between academia research and sales/marketing, Koivusalo explains how to bridge the gap between academia and business when it comes to motivation and profit. Approaching both in a purpose driven way is the bridge. Be it in academia or business, you must have a purpose that drives you.
"If your purpose is good and you're putting in the work to achieve it, then the profits will follow. It wouldn't make sense to go in just for the profits as the risks are quite high in the biotech field; it's all hypothetical. You need to believe in what you do, to be able to convince others to join you. When you have a lot of dedicated people working for the same goal, then you have better chances of success."
Is there a balance between purpose and profit? "Of course, you should have some ideas of the potential profits. I researched other similar companies and how much they were sold for and presented that as an estimation when speaking with investors, Koivusalo explains. It is typical in the biotech space that you develop a product and, in the end, it's so attractive that someone wants to buy your company. So, to the investors the product is the company."
PhD a necessity?
"I'm a firm believer that a PhD is not mandatory," Koivusalo emphasizes. "It depends on what you want to do, if you are looking for a position in a big company you might be at a disadvantage without a PhD. You need to find the bigger goal of what you want to achieve in life and see if a PhD is a stepping stone on that path or not. For a PhD, you should be very critical on the topic you choose as it is quite defining of your career either in academia or business."
Most relevant lesson from academia
"Resilience. From the many failed experiments in research, you learn to take the lessons and move forward. This is similar to an early-stage company, you just must take the hits and bounce back up" Koivusalo expressed with certainty.

What to do if you have already filed your federal and receive your return, yet need to finish your state taxes using Turbo Tax?
I have already filed and received my federal taxes earlier this month, but have not filed for my state taxes until earlier this week. Can I still file and pay my state taxes using Turbo, or will I need to file elsewhere? If I need to file on Turbo, how can I do this or will there be any difficulties?
That's right. If the federal return has been e-filed and accepted then you may go back and complete & file the state return. TurboTax won't ask you to file your federal again. It will let you "pick up where you left off" filing.
1. Login to your TurboTax account.
2. Select Show on your Tax Home screen, then Your tax returns and documents.
3. Make sure the current tax year is highlighted, then select Add a state.
4. Select the State Taxes tab.
5. Select Continue to start or complete your state taxes.
6. Select Done with State.
7. Continue through the flow to review and file your state taxes.
I can help get your question answered. To better assist you, did you file your federal return with TurboTax?
Oh great that makes it super easy. Sign into your TurboTax account and scroll down the page look for and click the "add a state" button.
Since I had already received my federal and it has been processed, it won't think I am filing twice? I can process the state return separately or bypass processing the federal again?
OK. So I went to file my state taxes, but revcieved a "Duplicate Social Security Number" error. I'm choosing not to E-file, but paper file. If I choose this route, and I hope I'm not asking a obvious question, but I would just print the completed tax documents from Turbo, who would sign as the preparer, and since I'm paper filing would I need to cancel the documents on Turbo Tax or just print the PDFs?
Yes, print your state tax return to paper file. Your return is self prepared, so just sign where indicated on your state return. Mailing instructions will print with the return.

WC: 401

Bio: coming
Retirement isn't really something Homer Dudley is comfortable with. In fact, it's more like a four-letter word. According to Homer, starting a garden was "just something to do." His family has owned the one acre Mt. Juliet garden for over 125 years. He began work with Healing Hands International, a Nashville based 501c3 organization, which teaches sustainable food production methods. At Healing Hands Homer discovered gravity-drip irrigation. Now, sharing that information is his passion.
Homer's road to sustainable food production led him to become a certified master gardener. When the land began to bear more than he could consume, he made the decision to load up his truck and deliver his vegetables to lowincome neighborhoods near his Lebanon home. Homer gives away everything he grows. Initially, it was a door-to-door process. Homer's first forays into the neighborhood were welcomed with caution. Today, all it takes is driving his red truck into an empty parking lot and the community comes out to greet him.
Homer even mentors teachers. He introduced gravity-drip irrigation to Justin Stefanski, Horticulture Extension Agent for the University of Tennessee Extension program. Now, Justin and Homer teach multiple classes each season on the subject which has grown to be among the most popular classes in the extension program. He's a local celebrity among the master gardeners who attend the U.T. classes and a constant source of inspiration and encouragement. "What Homer does is truly a labor of love," says Stefanski. "To see someone work that hard and give away what he accomplishes is unbelievable. He gives from the heart."
Homer's work with Healing Hands International has taken him to Africa and Honduras to teach food production methods. It's a source of pride. He eagerly shares photos of his trips featuring proud men and women beaming at the bushels of vegetables they have produced. Giving people the skills they need to end famine and hunger is a gift he won't stop offering any time soon. At age 72, Homer shows no evidence of slowing down. He has increased the size of his garden, just in time for spring, with the goal of doubling the families that will receive the fruits of his work. This fall, Homer will return to Honduras to continue teaching the men and women how to grow their own vegetables; a subject that sparks his eyes when he speaks.

We welcome back Dr. Jonathan Reth, who was a cyclist on the US National Cycling Team during the 1990's, to conduct the races. Ready. Set. Strider!
Heath Johnson is an Americana Country singer/songwriter from Spearfish, SD. He organizes the South Dakota Songwriters group and activities around the Black Hills area and puts together songwriter's rounds for other local artists. His musical influences range from classic country, to modern Americana, folk, and red dirt music. Along with his solo shows, he is also the lead in an Americana Honky Tonk band named The Ruthless West.
The acoustic classic country duo of Dan Coleman and Ja'net Persche are also part of the original music group, South Highway 85. These two self-proclaimed country bumpkins from up north play some mighty fine toe-tappin' music!
We thank these fine musicians for sharing their talent on stage at Kenadi's Karnival with all of us! Without them we'd be listening to a prerecorded playlist, and it doesn't like applause nearly as much as they do!

Now Reading Breakthrough Win for Cistron in Bing Crosby Stakes
Breakthrough Win for Cistron in Bing Crosby Stakes
July 27th, 2019 by Meredith Daugherty
Cistron earned his first career Grade 1 win July 27 at Del mar in the Bing Crosby Stakes and also punched his ticket to the Nov. 2 Breeders' Cup Sprint. (Eclipse Sportswire)
For some horses, age is just a number.
In a time when many of his contemporaries have already retired, Hronis Racing's Cistron is running better than ever. With one stakes victory and two other runner-up efforts already under his belt this season, the 5-year-old son of The Factor finally earned his first Grade 1 win in the $300,000, Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes July 27 at Del Mar.
The Bing Crosby is a "Win and You're In" event for the Nov. 2 Breeders' Cup Sprint, giving Cistron an automatic berth into the championship race.

Despite initial reluctance to load into the gate, the John Sadler trainee settled into an early lead from the break. Guided by Victor Espinoza, Cistron set quarter-mile fractions of :22.10 and :45.16. Desert Law saved ground early on the rail and stalked Cistron before moving up to issue an early challenge but could not keep pace with leader who slowly inched away on the turn.
Making his first start for new owners Rockingham Ranch and David A. Bernsen — who purchased the 4-year-old for $510,000 from the Four Star Sales consignment to the July 8 Fasig-Tipton July selected horses of racing age sale — Jalen Journey made a tremendous late-running effort on the far outside. The gelding chased rivals in the four-path down the stretch but did not have enough left in reserve to threaten.
Urged forward by Espinoza, Cistron managed to hold his lead by a half-length at the finish line, completing the six-furlong race in 1:09.95 on a track rated fast.
"We were comfortable up there. He was running well on the lead," Espinoza said. "I wanted to save something for the stretch and I was able to. I didn't get a lot of pressure up front and that helped. At the finish, I still had lots of horse. He's an amazing horse."

Desert Law held for second, followed by Jalen Journey, Air Strike, Line Judge, Recruiting Ready, and Chief Cicatriz.
"The way we were drawn, we knew we'd have to go to the front," Sadler said. "It looked like there was a lot of speed in the race, but we didn't really have a choice to change our style. Once he got away and got in the clear he gets energy from that. He had a super work over this track, a bullet, and he showed up for the big race today. We've got so many moveable parts [versatile horses] I'm not sure what's next, but if he runs again here it will be in the Pat O'Brien."
Cistron opened 2019 with a fourth-place finish in the Jan. 1 Joe Hernandez Stakes at Santa Anita Park and his stakes efforts have improved steadily over the past six months. He took second in the March 31 San Simeon Stakes, won next out in the Grade 2 Kona Gold Stakes April 20, and was runner-up again in his most recent effort, the Grade 2 Triple Bend May 5.

I initially decided to learn more about hypnobirthing after realising (at 6 months pregnant) that I was becoming quite stressed and anxious about the thought of giving birth. Hollie's classes teach you, in a very friendly and down to earth way, what hypnobirthing is all about and how to practice the various hypnobirthing techniques – breathing techniques and visualisations - techniques that helped me feel confident and positive about birth – which in turn put a welcome stop the anxieties I had developed in the lead up to the dreaded due date! We felt so calm and positive about the impending birth that we quickly decided to plan a home (water) birth.
Unfortunately our plans were scuppered when I ended up in hospital being induced a week after my waters had broken (and still no signs of a contraction!) which was a path I had been determined not to take as I had been holding out for a natural birth. In any case, I had an amazing 7 hour labour – brought on with syntocin – using the hypnobirthing techniques I had practiced and a little gas and air towards the end. The midwife commented that in all her 14 years of experience, she had never seen someone birth a baby (after an induction of that nature) so calmly and without the need for any stronger pain relief. I firmly believe that due to hypnobirthing I was able to go within myself (my husband said I didn't open my eyes for 5 hours!) and find a place where I could feel safe and in control and to just go with my body and trust it. Hypnobirthing also made my husband feel involved from the beginning and made the pregnancy and the birth itself a wonderfully intimate experience and one that we will forever cherish.

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network Welcomes Dr. Robert Carlson as Chief Executive Officer
A Letter From the New CEO:
As the new CEO of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, the new year has special meaning, for me and NCCN, as a new beginning. Having worked with NCCN for 18 years as a panel chair, my new role already feels comfortable, but does bring with it new challenges and opportunities.
NCCN has just completed a year-long strategic planning process that has produced an energizing, forward-thinking vision of what NCCN will be in the years ahead. The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) will continue to be the core product of NCCN, with a number of surrounding products and services that increase and improve the utilization of the guidelines. Initiatives are in place to make the NCCN Guidelines more accessible at the point of care and more user-friendly for both patients and providers, in addition to linking them to treatment pathways.
The international presence of NCCN will be reorganized to better serve cancer patients and providers globally, and to fully align NCCN efforts with those international efforts of the NCCN Member Institutions.
And, it is likely that the number of NCCN Member Institutions will grow modestly over the next few years.
The success of NCCN is the direct result of the strength and quality of our members and maintaining the focus on patients with cancer and their families as the cornerstone of our efforts.
Continued communication between NCCN, NCCN Member Institutions, users of NCCN products and services, community, lay and professional organizations, providers, payers, and industry will serve us all well. Please never hesitate to contact those of us at NCCN should we be able to assist you in better serving those with cancer.
Robert W. Carlson, MD
NCCN Qualifies Community Site for Affiliate Research Project
The NCCN Affiliate Research Project (ARP), developed by the NCCN Oncology Research Project (ORP), has qualified Norton Cancer Institute, a community-based affiliate of Moffitt Cancer Center—one of the 21 NCCN Member Institutions.
Located in Louisville, Kentucky, Norton Cancer Institute is operating as an ARP site under the leadership of John Hamm, MD, Medical Director, Norton Cancer Institute Research Program.
The mission of the NCCN ARP is to improve patient outcomes and advance medical science through clinical research conducted by means of collaboration among 21 NCCN Member Institutions and their community-based affiliate networks.
Norton Cancer Institute is the 8th community-based NCCN Member Institution affiliate to qualify for the NCCN ARP, increasing the scope of potential patients for the more than 60 actively accruing ORP trials. Previously approved NCCN Member Institution affiliates include AtlantiCare Cancer Care Institute, South Jersey Healthcare, and Virtua—affiliates of Fox Chase Cancer Center; Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, MultiCare Health System, and Wenatchee Valley Medical Center—affiliates of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center/Seattle Cancer Care Alliance; and Medical Center of Central Georgia—an affiliate of University of Alabama at Birmingham Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Norton Cancer Institute will have access to new and innovative cancer drugs for patients in collaboration with NCCN Member Institutions; principal investigators of NCCN-funded studies will have access to Norton Cancer Institute as an NCCN-qualified community site.
"NCCN is pleased to announce the qualification of Norton Cancer Institute," said Diane Paul, Vice President of the NCCN ORP. "Indeed, the growth of the NCCN Affiliate Research Project will strengthen the NCCN Oncology Research Program through the expansion of an already diverse patient base and afford a growing opportunity to community patients to participate in best-in-class clinical trials."
The NCCN ORP is organized to obtain funding to support scientifically meritorious research projects at NCCN Member Institutions. Policies and standards for the program were set by the NCCN Investigator Steering Committee, a group comprised of senior research physicians appointed by each NCCN Member Institution. To date, the NCCN ORP has received nearly $40 million in research grants from pharmaceutical and biotech companies to support investigator-initiated trials including, but not limited to, evaluation of innovative regimens, mechanism of action, and exploration of extended uses for specific agents.

'HumanKind' Exhibition sheds new light on Calke Abbey's 'isolated' family--on until end 2020
For more than 30 years, since Calke Abbey in Derbyshire came to public attention, its story has revolved around tales of the reclusive and isolated Harpur Crewe family who had little contact with each other and the outside world. Calke's remote location and other-worldly atmosphere, with peeling paint and overgrown courtyards, has helped perpetuate the idea of a family hidden away.
Now, 200 years after the death of Sir Henry Harpur, who was dubbed 'The Isolated Baronet', new research by National Trust staff and volunteers and a team from the Research Centre for Museums and Galleries at the University of Leicester has cast new light on those who once lived and worked at Calke, revealing a more complex side to the story.
'HumanKind' draws on this new research and invites visitors to explore the lives of six inhabitants of Calke across two centuries through immersive experiences, displays, and outdoor installations.
The researchers, who studied diaries, letters and other archive material set out to interrogate the evidence that had been used to present a one-dimensional story of an isolated family who shunned the world.
Suzanne MacLeod, Professor of Museum Studies at the University of Leicester, explained: "Soon after we began our research, we realised that the story of Henry and his descendants was largely inaccurate. Rather than a deeper examination of their lives, the focus had been on gossip or quirks of people's characters which has stigmatised six generations of one family as eccentric and solitary. New evidence clearly demonstrates that the people at Calke had much more complex life experiences. They had periods of loneliness and isolation as many people do, but they depended on one another. The archive is full of diaries which document busy lives, records of holidays and visits, interests and passions. We also found stories of great love, friendship and social interaction. In every case, human relationships and human kindness were their routes out of difficulties."
The six lives featured in the HumanKind exhibition are:
The 'Isolated Baronet' Henry Harpur (1763–1819) whose reclusive reputation belied a surprisingly outgoing and passionate man of many achievements;
George Crewe, 8th Baronet (1795-1844) who felt neglected as a child but in later life was a devoted family man and a confidante to others;
Victorian mother Lady Georgiana Crewe (1824-1910), who had been labelled lonely based on a few diary entries, but who was a knowledgeable plantswoman and enjoyed deep and loving relationships, particularly with her son Vauncey;
Adventurer and independent woman Winifred Harpur Crewe (1879-1953), whose exciting life of world travel came before periods of sadness caused by the loss of her beloved husband in the First World War;
Calke's housekeeper Harriet Phillips (1823-1895) who kept up appearances in the 1860s, whilst hiding the existence of her illegitimate son, but eventually ended her days living with him;
Airmyne Jenney (1919-1999) who lost her ability to speak following a life-changing accident, but whose determination and support of her family helped her to learn to talk again.
Visitors will meet the six inhabitants through new displays and audio visual experiences in the modern Family Apartments. In the main house the 'time capsule' rooms are still jam-packed with abandoned collections amassed by the family over generations.
Outside in the landscape, three large steel-framed interpretations of the library, the boudoir and a creative merging of the entrance hall and stableyards represent how the true story of Calke is being brought to life beyond its boundaries for the first time.
Alison Thornhill, the National Trust's Community and Engagement Manager at Calke Abbey, said: "There is growing awareness of the harmful impact of social isolation on more and more lives with over 9 million people in the UK identifying as often or always lonely. Through the HumanKind project we wanted to explore how Calke could contribute to a contemporary understanding by looking at its stories of loneliness and isolation, alongside those of kindness and compassion, past and present. We hope that HumanKind, and the issues it raises about loneliness and the importance of human interaction, will stimulate conversations and even inspire people to do something different as a result."
Small interventions around the site have been designed to foster interaction. New seating created to encourage conversations has been placed in the parkland, and three new Chatty Cafés have been set up within Calke's restaurants. A HumanKind Pledge Wall will encourage visitors to pledge an act of kindness or self-care after their visit has finished.
HumanKind will be at Calke for two years. For more information and opening times visit www.nationaltrust.org.uk/calke

Q: Insert NSStrings into NSStrings I'm new to Objective C and have a pretty basic question. So I have 2 variables (IBOutlets that are UITextFields) in one UIViewController. After the user enters text into those UITextFields, s/he proceeds to a new viewcontroller. When the user enters viewcontroller #2, I want to insert the values of the IBOutlets from viewcontroller #1 into an NSString I preset. For example, 1 variable is a name and one is an interest. The NSString should read "Hello [name], thanks for your interest in [interest]. We appreciate it." So how do I pass the IBOutlets from viewcontroller 1 to viewcontroller 2, and insert them as NSStrings into the NSString that isn't variable (the thanks for your interest, etc. etc. part). I appreciate any help you can provide because I'm a total Objective C newbie. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
-Reynold

A: This is really a two part question. To put those strings together the way you want to, I'd recommend: [NSString stringWithFormat:FORMAT];
In your case, the implementation would probably be a little like this:
NSString *name = nameTextField.text;
NSString *interest = interestTextField.text;

NSString *resultString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Hello %@, thanks for your interest in %@. We appreciate it",                                                                  name,                                                               interest];
Passing this value to another view controller is a little bit more complicated. I recommend creating a property in the second view controller like so:
@interface ViewController2 : UIViewController{
    NSString *myString;
}

@property(nonatomic, retain) NSString *myString;

@end

Then, when you set up the new view controller you can configure it like this:
UIViewController *vc = [[ViewController2 alloc] initWithNibName:@"ViewController2" bundle:nil];

vc.myString = resultString;

[self.view addSubview:vc.view];
[vc release];
Good luck.

> New device makes getting blood drawn easier for children
New device makes getting blood drawn easier for children
A new device introduced at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children (RHSC) is proving a hit with parents and children.
The new device is being used by doctors and nurses to find veins in patients. Finding a vein can sometimes be a challenge with adults but is even more difficult with children.
The device is called the AccuVein AV300 and is a small, lightweight, handheld device that "paints" veins in a high-visibility pattern using infrared light. It is held seven inches above a patient's veins, and when a button is pressed, the red light is projected over the area to conspicuously highlight veins below the skin's surface.
With this device it is much easier for children to get their blood taken and they get to see how their veins show up under the light.
Kathleen Large is mum to Ethan aged 10 from Annan. Ethan needs to undergo an endoscopy procedure and requires a needle to be inserted before the procedure begins.
His mum Kathleen said: "I think this is a great device which really helps find those smaller veins that are difficult to get in infants and babies. Anything that helps the patient is a good thing.
"Having watched it work on Ethan, it really shows the depth of the vein so it helps doctors and nurses see just how good the vein really is which is helpful for them. It means they don't need two or three goes to get the needle in which can be upsetting for any child."
Dr Graham Bell, Consultant Anaethetist at the RHSC said: "One of the most difficult things for children can be the process of taking blood or inserting a tube into the vein. It can be hard to see the veins, particularly in babies and we may have to try a number of times before being successful. "
"This device gives us more options by identifying veins invisible to the naked eye. It also helps identify which veins are the best so we hope this will mean fewer unsuccessful attempts and therefore less distress for the children and their parents."
The device at the RHSC was funded by the Yorkhill Children's Foundation but has proved so successful other hospitals in Greater Glasgow and Clyde are looking at introducing it for use with adult patients.

And Jewish secularism? What is that? Some purchase might be gained by asking: how do you say "secular" in Hebrew? The current term is hiloni. (Roughly 45 percent of Israelis characterize themselves as hiloni, while another 25 percent call themselves, intriguingly, masorti/lo-dati, traditional/nonreligious.) The term appears to have been first used by Micah Yosef Berdichevsky, the enfant terrible of modern Hebrew letters, and was intimately connected with the rise of Zionism. Yet it didn't become part of Israel's lingua franca until the 1950s; for decades, the reigning term had been hofshi, free—free, that is, of the law.

Is there any reason Ideale saddles are selling for much more than Brooks? Are they of better quality, and who rides one and your thoughts?
Just scarcity I think, Mike. Some of the prices they're asking on ebay are tres ridiculou' , however.
Wow! I'm kinda glad to hear it, since I own one.:) I took it off a '70's Sentinel Whisper.
Ideale, unlike Brooks, is totally out of business, so the supply is strictly limited. Except for the fact that they were competitive with (and some would say superior to) Brooks in the day, and share a construction style, there is no comparison. Vintage Brooks are very similar to modern Brooks, so a buyer looking for a saddle to ride can be best off buying a new Brooks, even for a vintage machine (as distinct from a classic of modern manufacture). But a vintage Ideale as a user saddle is a rarer bird, since all possibly available product are perhaps 25 or more years old.
Some Ideales are in high demand because they are the correct replacement for certain vintage (back to the 1930s) randonneuses and other sorts of French audax or distance bikes. It's a collecting fringe totally unto itself.
But the vintage French geeks will pay for the saddle model they need, because they do need it. Just supply and demand.
I have a Model 92 Daniel Rebour Diagonale that I bought new in 1984 or so, and I've seen comparables anywhere from $500 down to $25, all seemingly in similarly good condition, and few better-looking than mine. But I like it and ride it on my UO-8. Worth more than the bike, but ... so what?
Can someone make some measurements for comparison???
I will do that later tonight. Mine is an Ideale 90, I think.
I think measurements of most, well...some, models can be found on the Classic Rendezvous Ideale page, if interested. I want me one of those 92's, but can't quite swallow hard enough on the prices.
Hard to compare leather saddles because each one is a bit unique. For example I have two brooks saddles one I get along with and one I don't!
I have a few Ideale in a box, unfortunatly I have had to sell over the years. Very nice saddles which should end up one builds this winter.
This is an 80 or an 88 that was left under a saddle cover on a rusty bike. Saving it for fun old build.
The marking on the seat is the mark of daniel rebour. He tapped in the saddles to soften them up before they were used.
nice ideales, prettyshady. Unfortunately my one Ideale is a wall saddle only. A worn alloy-railed type 54, or type 59 (I can't read the embossing fully) with a fatigue crack in one rail near the nose.
Beautiful Ideales prettyshady. I especially like the Professional.
Frank Berto wrote a book about upgrading your bicycle, and in it provided measurements of a few Ideales. The 92 shared width and length with the Brooks B17, and the 90 was very similar to the Pro. There were less than a dozen other models of Brooks, and more than a dozen other models from Ideale.
What measurements would you like to see? Frank did length, width at widest point, and width at 50% length.
I've used both my 92 and a B17, and find the B17 a little flatter and a little narrower at the 50% point. I've never had a 90 or 80, which are more comparable to the Pro.
I have an Ideale Professional which I find to be extremely comfortable while I cannot say the same about the Brooks Professional as it is narrower than mine.. I have wide sit bones for a guy so really narrow saddles do not work for me.
Also have a 60 which is also extremely comfortable.
I've ridden one Ideale on my '83 Paramount quite extensively and find it rides just fine. I was able to pick up this NOS Ideale a couple of years ago for about $35 shipped. It was a bargain.
The Ideale 80 on the Paramount.
Just a couple of years ago, used Ideales were selling for less than comparable used Brooks saddles on eBay. But with the whole Velo Francais revivalist movement (which includes the requisite use of vintage or NOS TA cranks and MAFAC brakes on so many new bike builds), Ideale prices have taken off.
I had an Ideale with alloy rails (Model 80?). It was on a '75 Raleigh Gran Sport. Absolutely hated it. Someone in Japan paid stupid money and I replaced it with a garden variety Wrights. Later sold the bike to someone who had to have it because it was Nouvo Record equipped.
Currently on ebay there is a seller or two who have placed extreme prices on some Ideale saddles, and they sit there. But they do seem to push the actual sales higher than what they have been prior.
I like the 90, owned one, sold it long ago , bought another for a French bike a number of years ago. I have not bought any more as I have not been able to stomach the prices, but I will admit over time I have only periodically looked in on ebay listings.
I had a really nice Ideale 90, and she was a beauty. But, a little too wide and flat for my tastes. I prefer Brooks Pros and B17 Narrows.
They are some of the best saddles, I have them on my French bikes and can say the ride is amazing.
I have a NOS ideale 90 waiting for the right french bike to show up on my doorstep one of these days. . .
I just installed it on my Bianchi, it sat for 5 years without use. I think using it helps keep it from drying out.
The generation after the fixie hipsters are building bikes formulaically. They go online and let their peer group tell them what is kool kit, as most don't understand what is good kit, and then they buy that. This generation doesn't build a bike to ride it and appreciation it for what it is, they build it to post it on social media so that that same peer group can appreciate what they built. Once you understand that mentality it all makes sense.
As for me I hate Brooks saddles. They make my willy go numb. I sell every Brooks and Ideal that comes on bikes I buy. I love that these lemmings keep paying enough for these saddle to let me buy better ones. I'm loving Selle Anatomica right now. Perineal blood flow cutouts and the most comfortable saddles most people didn't know existed. Even though you can get them with copper rivets and they look "ideal" on a randonneur or Cannondale STish build (these were in production before Grant would start at Bridgestone let alone Riv, so I'll never all these BOBish bikes, but what they really are...Cannondale STish bikes), they are just damn comfortable saddles. Whereas I'm convinced that with Brooks many people tolerate how uncomfortable they are because they like the "look."
Cannondale on the epic '86 ST 800 bikes used both Brooks and Ideal saddles, and also on other STish builds. I never understood if they just liked both, or whether Brooks couldn't' accommodate production or what. Then again C'dale is the company that rewrote all the rules (steel…schemeal, we'll write a new paradigm!) and they would speck bikes with Superbe Pro, Nitto, Campagnolo, Shimano Dura-Ace and Ultegra, really the best kit they could find, followed by the bet price point builds they could negotiate. Who knows, maybe they used both for the mere purposes of negotiating power.
Supply and Demand. They aren't making more Ideale saddles, and you can always find a used Brooks for sale after someone visits their urologist.
I have an Ideale 90 on my Bilenky.
I was given three of these when a riding chum started to clean his shelves.
Two of them had seen very, very light use.
The third was well loved, but still had some hours of available use.
I had pictures of these saddles on my Flickr and I was contacted by a fellow in Brazil about their availability.
Yep, the one that was well worn. He put it on a Jo Routens and the pics look outstanding.
FWIW I have taken the Bilenky on trips of 650 and 250 miles this summer. The Ideale 90 was on both of these trips and was super comfy.
I used to get Ideale saddles much cheaper than Brooks. I'm particularity fond of their #42 .
Yeah I use proofide on it from time to time but agree that sitting too long is not a great thing.


Beer lovers, this one's for you. About half of the beer sold in Ireland is a Guinness product. They brew over three million pints a day, but visiting the Guinness Storehouse completely changes the way you view this brewing behemoth. Located in one of the original Guinness buildings, the storehouse is beautifully restored. It's a G-Ticket to Disneyland for those who drink beer.
Pre-order your tickets online well in advance. This allows you to skip the ticket line, which can wrap around the building during warmer weather. We take the Guinness connoisseur tour, which ran us an extra thirty euro (yes, Ireland is on the euro, Great Britain is not) per person. It is worth it.
In your own private bar that seats sixteen, you taste four Guinness beers, (about 8 ounce pours) and if you are lucky, you will get a fifth beer. Ours was a new IPA they are testing. One of our beers is Foreign Extra, not available in the United States. It's 7.5% and intended for the African markets. Yes, we are bringing some home.
The bartender knows his Guinness, and you learn so much about Sir Arthur, the history of the brewery and the quality control that goes into their beer.
There are people in Ireland who go to bars just to make sure the Guinness is being poured correctly. How do I get that job?
Every day, each employee starts their shift with a glass of beer to make sure it has the correct taste. Then they rate it and all scores are compiled to make sure the product is consistent. How do you get ANY job there?
After all that beer, you are not even close to being done. Next, you learn how to pour the perfect pint of Guinness.
I've seen a lot of Guinness poured in the United States, and can assure you that nobody pours it like they do in Ireland. You get to drink your perfect pint, and you get a certificate to prove that you poured it. There's a bottle of Guinness to take home, and then you get another pint, which you should enjoy in the Gravity Bar on the seventh floor. Here you get a great view of Dublin. Ours was fog-shrouded. There is a lot of rain in Ireland in February.
We each drink 56 ounces of beer during our visit. Fortunately, most of it is low gravity, and we don't feel it much the next day.
If you are in Dublin, put the Guinness Storehouse on your must-visit list. Cheers!
Margaret and I visited 3-4 years ago and had a great time touring this piece of history. Funny story; we got to the top floor that is basically a round, glassed room with great city views. In the center of the room is a round bar where you get your complimentary glass of traditional Guinness. We notice everyone is getting full pints but for some reason they pour us each half pints….they must have known what a lightweight drinker I am….Margaret ordered another full pint though!


Philosophy is hard, but it is sometimes unavoidable. We have to make philosophical choices all the time. While you may not come across trolley problems in real life all that much, you will be forced to make choices. You will vote or you won't. You will eat meat today or you won't. You will give all your money to charity or you won't. You will walk around town naked or you won't.
It is not hard to find ideologues these days. I mean, YouTube videos with titles like 'Watch Jordan Peterson DESTROY Leftist Host on Her own Show' or 'Talk show host Destroys Conservative' hardly inspire confidence in the neutrality of their channels! However, sometimes it is more subtle. The key question is how to spot an Ideologue and and then find the flaws in their thinking.
We often view truth and falsity as a binary choice. When you make a precise statement about the world, it presumably is either true or false. While this may be true, there is an example which made me think twice.

Gyro Gearloose is a cartoon character created in 1952 by Carl Barks for Disney comics. An anthropomorphic chicken, he is part of the Donald Duck universe, appearing in comic book stories as a friend of Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck, and anyone who is associated with them. He was also a heroic creator star of the animated DuckTales. He first appeared in the Carl Barks comic "Gladstone's Terrible Secret" (Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #140, May 1952), and was the regular lead character in 4-page backup stories in Barks' issues of Uncle Scrooge, starting with issue #13 (March 1956) and continuing through #41 (March 1963).

Biography
Gyro is Duckburg's most genius inventor, even though his inventions sometimes do not work the way he wants them to. His outrageous productivity is presented as a factor in the quality of his inventions. Because Gyro is always coming up with new ideas, the fact that his inventions often lack an important feature will often cause trouble for both Scrooge and Donald, who are known to have frequently bought his inventions. He is known for being good-natured towards others. Gyro is often assisted by his Little Helper (or just "Helper"), who is a small anthropomorphic robot with a light bulb for a head. Besides Little Helper, he also has a "thinking cap", a hat shaped like a combination of a roof-top and a nest, with three black birds living inside it. Wearing this thinking cap helps Gyro figure out particularly difficult problems, but it only works if the birds are currently nesting in the cap. Some stories have involved the birds leaving Gyro's thinking cap, resulting in the cap becoming ineffective.

Some of Gyro's relatives include his father Fulton Gearloose, his grandfather Ratchet Gearloose, and Newton Gearloose, his nephew. Occasionally there have been stories about Gyro's girlfriend Matilda. In some stories, Gyro's primary rival is Emil Eagle, although he is also antagonized by the Beagle Boys and Magica De Spell. With his inventions, he is also a very important ally of Donald Duck's alter ego, Paperinik, in the Italian Disney comics. Consistent with the two "G's" in his name, he had bins on his shelves containing odds and ends, which he labeled "Gewgaws", "Gimcracks", "Gadgets", and "Gizmos".

Appearances in other media
Gyro made his first animated appearance in a 1980s full-length movie, the Sport Goofy in Soccermania television special, with only one line of dialogue, voiced by Will Ryan: "Scrooge parting with a million dollars?" In the subsequent 1987 animated series DuckTales, Gyro became a regular character, with Hal Smith supplying his voice while Barry Gordon records it in several episodes. Among Gyro's noteworthy inventions in the series was the creation of the GizmoDuck suit, intended to be worn by a security guard for Scrooge McDuck's Money Bin. Although Gyro's shop and house are on the south side of Duckburg, he was born on the north side; a sign marks his birthplace and mentions one of his inventions: topless hats.

In high school, young Gyro was a baseball pitcher with his "madball" pitch — actually only a straight-ball pitch. When Gyro is forced to pitch for the Northside, pitting an "unhittable" baseball against another of his inventions, an "unmissable" baseball bat made for the Southside team, the result is total chaos.

Gyro is a classic example of an eccentric genius. Once he persuaded the citizens of Duckburg to rebuild their metropolis into a climate-controlled "City of the Future". Unfortunately for Gyro, his idea worked too well. Donald Duck worked only 1 hour a day and spent 23 hours sleeping, which left him more grouchy than normal, while Uncle Scrooge's robot made him so much money that it filled up his money bin to the point where he could not even burrow into it. The final straw came when Gyro's Robot Helper makes a robot to replace Gyro as an inventor. Realizing Duckburg is not ready for the future, Gyro returns the city back to its old self.

Contrary to his entry in Don Markstein's Toonopedia, Gyro never appeared on House of Mouse. Gyro, in his usual role as an inventor, is replaced with Ludwig Von Drake in House of Mouse and many other cartoons.

In the Toontown universe, Gyro created a robot that, when Scrooge accidentally wired it incorrectly, made the Cogs, the main antagonists of the game. They were grim businessmen-like robots who could not take a joke. So, to take care of the infestation, the Toons (the main protagonists of the game) destroyed them with gags such as squirting seltzer water and throwing pies at them.

A reimagined Gyro appears in the 2017 reboot of DuckTales (voiced by Jim Rash), in which he maintains a lab below Scrooge's Money Bin. This Gyro merges characteristics of his harsher, early comic book self with those of his original DuckTales counterpart along with adlibbing by Rash; the result being an eccentric who struggles with social graces and has a short temper, yet still retains a good nature and makes efforts to stop his inventions from harming people. He also has a track record of inventions gaining sentience and becoming evil, though he argues that some of them are merely misunderstood (a trait that the show creators have also attributed to Gyro himself). In his debut episode, "The Great Dime Chase!", he unveils Little Bulb (this show's version of Little Helper), who goes out of control under Louie's supervision (though Gyro manages to fix the problem by replacing his invention's head with a lower-watt bulb). He later begins brainstorming the creation of the Gizmoduck suit under the codename "Project Blatherskite". In season one's subsequent episodes, he took on Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera as an intern, clashed with Scrooge's rival Mark Beaks, and forced Donald Duck to swallow a voice modulator. In the season 2 premiere, he uses a modified shrink ray invention to communicate with a microscopic civilizations in the McDuck household, only to be taken hostage when he attempted to become their god-king. Later in season 2, his oxy-chew gum (used by Della and Donald Duck to survive on the moon), Time Teaser (used by Flintheart Glomgold in a scheme against Scrooge McDuck), and Time Tub (used by Gyro himself to travel back to the Old West and by Louie as part of a get-rich-quick scheme) make appearances. In the season 2 finale, he developed a clone spray that he used on himself and produced a small army of Little Bulbs with walkie-talkie functions. In season three, Gyro's past is explored further. Decades prior to the series, he worked as an optimistic young intern under roboticist, Dr. Akita. Gyro built a child-like defense drone named 2-BO and treated him like a real boy, but Akita tampered with his programming before using him to terrorize the city of Tokyolk. Having lost his creation, Gyro became embittered and repressed his memories of the android. When Huey brought 2-BO, now B.O.Y.D., to him to be fixed, Gyro was forced to return to Tokyolk and confront his past as well as Akita. Once he learned what happened and defeated his former mentor, Gyro reconciled with B.O.Y.D.

Gearloose family members

Ratchet Gearloose
Ratchet Gearloose is Gyro's paternal grandfather, created by Carl Barks. He knew Scrooge McDuck: he first met him during his Mississippi riverboat days. They later met on the island of Krakatoa. Nothing was known about Ratchet since then but it is assumed that he wound up in Duckburg since his son Fulton Gearloose is one of the first three Junior Woodchucks.

Fulton Gearloose
Fulton Gearloose is the son of Ratchet Gearloose and the father of Gyro Gearloose. Created by Don Rosa, he was first mentioned in Guardians of The Library in Uncle Scrooge Adventures #27 as the inventor of The Junior Woodchucks Merit Badge, as well as the first person it was awarded to (for inventing it). He first appeared in person in The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Part 10 as a young child and one of the first three Junior Woodchucks.  He appears as an elderly man in the story Gyro's First Invention.

Newton Gearloose
Newton Gearloose is Gyro's nephew. He first appeared in 1960 in the Gyro Gearloose story titled 'Ting-A-Ling Trouble', written by Vic Lockman and drawn by Phil DeLara, in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #308. Newton was a fan of his uncle's work and wanted to be an inventor like him when he grew up. Newton is also a Junior Woodchuck, as well as a friend of Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Newton went by the nickname "Giggy". After the early 1970s, Newton ceased appearing in new North American Disney comics. He continued to be used in some Brazilian and Danish-produced Disney comics into the 1990s, while he still appears in Dutch and Italian-produced comics. There was a similar character in the DuckTales episode "Superdoo". Like Newton, he was also in the Junior Woodchucks. Though his name is never spoken, he does bear a physical resemblance to Newton Gearloose.

Other relatives
Italian Disney comics, which have not been translated into English, and the Gearloose family tree drawn by Marco Gervasio, have introduced other members of Gyro's family, such as his mother Sonia, his grandmother Martha Bird, his great-grandfather Copernico and great-great-uncle Cartesio.

Als Amateur gewann er unter anderem die Goldmedaille im Halbmittelgewicht bei den Olympischen Sommerspielen 1996.

Amateurkarriere
David Reid boxte anfangs im Weltergewicht und gewann 1993 die National Golden Gloves und 1994 die US-Meisterschaften. Er startete daraufhin bei den Panamerikanischen Spielen 1995 in Mar del Plata, besiegte Guillermo Saputo, Hercules Kyvelos und Daniel Santos, womit er neben dem Halbschwergewichtler Antonio Tarver, die einzige US-Goldmedaille gewinnen konnte. Im Finalkampf gegen Santos erlitt er durch Schlagwirkung eine bleibende Verletzung des linken Augenlides.

Anschließend boxte er im Halbmittelgewicht und gewann 1996 jeweils die US-Meisterschaften, die US Olympic Trials sowie die US Olympic Box-offs.

Er konnte daraufhin an den Olympischen Sommerspielen 1996 in Atlanta teilnehmen und erreichte mit Siegen gegen Lee Wan-Kyun, Pavol Polakovič, Mohamed Marmouri und Karim Toʻlaganov als einziger US-Boxer das Finale, wo er beim Kampf um die Goldmedaille Alfredo Duvergel durch KO bezwang.

Profikarriere
David Reid boxte als Profi von März 1997 bis November 2001. Er wurde von Al Mitchell trainiert und von Dan Goossen promotet. Er war der erste Profiboxer, dessen Debütkampf bereits von HBO übertragen wurde.

Er schlug zu Beginn seiner Karriere starke Gegner, darunter Robert Koon (WM-Herausforderer der WBA 2001), Jorge Vaca (WBC-Weltmeister 1987/88), Robert Frazier (WM-Herausforderer der IBF 2001), Fidel Avendaño (WM-Herausforderer der WBO 1995), Nick Rupa (WM-Herausforderer der WBC 1997) und Simon Brown (IBF-Weltmeister 1988–1991, WBC-Weltmeister 1991 und 1993–1994).
