I now have a much clearer vision of how my collection should look. I love all of my bears, but have simply run out of room and want to cut back a large percentage, so I can re-grow it with my current knowledge. So it’s time to call the auctioneers in, I can’t think of any safer hands to pass them onto than my teddy friend, Daniel Agnew of Special Auction Services, to send them all to their new homes. I think it would be great fun and I will enjoy seeing my beloved bears finding new owners.” “I first started collecting teddy bears because my daughter-in-law bought me a teddy bear and the Teddy Bear Encyclopaedia for a milestone birthday, which sparked an interest and I started looking at antique bears online.

Development of a Method to Estimate Mouth-Level Benzo[a]pyrene Intake by Filter Analysis Yan S. Ding, Theodore Chou, Shadeed Abdul-Salaam, Bryan Hearn, and Clifford H. Watson Division of Laboratory Sciences, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia Abstract Background—Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is one of the most potent carcinogens generated in cigarette smoke. During smoking, cigarette filters trap a significant portion of mainstream smoke benzo[a]pyrene. This trapped portion is proportional to what exits the end of the filter and is drawn into the mouth of smokers. Methods—We developed a new method to estimate mouth-level BaP intake using filter analysis. In this analysis, cigarettes are smoked by a smoking machine using a variety of conditions to yield a range of mainstream smoke deliveries, which approximate a range of human puffing characteristics. Mainstream smoke BaP collected on Cambridge filter pads and the corresponding 1-cm mouth-end cigarette filter butts is extracted, purified by solid-phase extraction, and quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a fluorescence detector. On the basis of the amount of BaP retained in cigarette butts and the amount collected on pads, we can relate them using a linear regression model. Results—Using this model and subsequently analyzing cigarette filters collected from smokers, we are able to estimate their mouth-level intakes, which smokers received when they consumed cigarettes.

  • LICENSING: from Tae-Bo to Teddy Ruxpin
    LICENSING: From Tae-Bo to Teddy Ruxpin Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprang up. -Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. Developer of the stereoscope and American writer LENDING: HOW TO BECOME A LICENSOR Becoming an inventor or licensor is the lowest-cost and least time-intensive method of becoming an entrepreneur, but it also has the lowest percentage return. In a typical licensing agreement, the inventor will receive 3-10% of the wholesale price of his product and may or may not receive an advance against royalties (cash upfront) or minimum guarantees1. There are quite a few successful examples that still make this worth the effort. Remember Tae-Bo? It seemed to come out of nowhere to the mainstream, but Billy Blanks had taught it in his Los Angeles studio for more than a decade before Thane Direct licensed it and sold more than $500-million worth of video tapes. Even at the more typical 2-4% for informercial products, how did Billy’s royalties look? Quite outstanding for a few days of filming the videos and commercials. Let Thane do the leg work and cash checks. Let’s use another example to take a closer look at the math, which can get a bit fuzzy (as can the products). Teddy Ruxpin was the first commercially-available animatronic teddy bear. It was invented by Ken Forsse, Larry Larsen and John Davies, but it was licensed to a small company called Worlds of Wonder (WOW) who brought it to market in 1985. Let’s calculate, using invented but not unrealistic numbers, how these three inventors might have done: Retail price: $50 US Wholesale price (the price that stores paid to WOW before reselling the product to end users): $30 US (40% discount) Per unit royalty: $1.50 (5% of the wholesale price) Copyright © 2007 Timothy Ferriss Royalties from 600,000 units pre-sold in 19852 $ 900,000 Royalties from 7MM units3 total sold $10,500,000 Not bad for a robotic bear.

Publication Date 2012 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 4.0 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The “Forward Russia” Flag 99 The “Forward Russia” Flag: Examining the Changing Use of the Bear as a Symbol of Russia Anne M. Platoff Introduction Viewers of international sporting events have become accustomed to seeing informal sporting flags waved by citizens of various countries. The most famil- iar of these flags, of course, are the “Boxing Kangaroo” flag used to represent Australia and the “Fighting Kiwi” flag used by fans from New Zealand. Both of these flags have become common at the Olympic Games when athletes from those nations compete. Recently a new flag of this type has been displayed at international soccer matches and the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Unlike the Kangaroo and Kiwi flags, this new flag has been constructed using a defaced national flag, the Russian tricolor flag of white, blue, and red horizontal stripes, readopted as the flag of the Russian Federation after the breakup of the Soviet Union. A number of variations of the flag design have been used, but all of them contain two elements: the Russian text Vperëd Rossiia, which means “Forward Russia”, and a bear which appears to be break- ing its way out of the flag.

    To Whom it may concern ISO Test methods for cigarette tar and nicotine content are outdated and unrepresentative of the actual yield and toxins intake due to smoker compensation - Countries should adopt the Health Canada Intense test method, like RIVM Holland The old and outdated ISO test criteria for cigarette tar and nicotine content used by the HK Government Lab is way out of date. The industry deliberately perforates the filter and paper of the tobacco rods with tiny holes to ‘cheat’ the current ISO machine test methods. What actually happens is the smokers wrap their fingers and of course mouth around the filter to compensate for the additional dilution air being sucked in through the perforations. The ISO smoking test machine is not real world, does not compensate by blocking the holes and hence reveals test results that are far, far lower than the smokers actually inhale. RIVM, the Dutch Ministry of Health, has adopted the Health Canada Intense smoking test criteria which better reveals the actual tar and nicotine in each cigarette rod since they tape over the perforated holes in the same way that the smoker compensates with fingers and mouth, to seal the holes - and then test the actual values. Attached herewith you can see the vast disparities as revealed in the RIVM test data which show the level of toxics which the smokers actually inhale versus the mythical ISO data preferred and provided by the manufacturers. Countries Kong need to switch to the Health Canada Intense method of cigarette testing asap and inform the public accordingly of the actual level of toxins they inhale when they smoke cigarettes.
