In order to advance both of these interests, the Court of International Trade (CIT) overruled previous trade cases and redefined a tariff classification in order to allow stuffed figures of E.T.

Then fill in theansweronyouranswerdocument. from Jake Drake, Teacher’s Pet by Andrew Clements 1 When I was in third grade, we got five new computers in our classroom. Mrs. Snavin was my third-grade teacher, and she acted like computers were scary, especially the new ones. She always needed to look at a how-to book and the computer at the same time. Even then, she got mixed up a lot. Then she had to call Mrs. Reed, the librarian, to come and show her what to do. 2 So it was a Monday morning in May, and Mrs. Snavin was sitting in front of a new computer at the back of the room. She was confused about a program we were supposed to use for a math project. My desk was near the computers, and I was watching her. 3 Mrs. Snavin looked at the screen, and then she looked at this book, and then back at the screen again. Then she shook her head and let out this big sigh. I could tell she was almost ready to call Mrs. Reed. 4 I’ve always liked computers, and I know how to do some stuff with them. Like turn them on and open programs, play games and type, make drawings, and build Web pages—things like that.

    Introduction .................................................................................... 2 Background and Criticism ............................................................ 5 The Books ......................................................................................12 The Movie ......................................................................................15 Winnie-the-Pooh and Friends .....................................................20 Conclusion .....................................................................................28 Works Cited ..................................................................................32 Gylfadóttir, 2 Introduction In the 1920s an English author by the name of A. A. Milne wrote two books about a bear named Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends. The former was called simply Winnie- the-Pooh (WP) and was published in 1926, and the second, The House at Pooh Corner (HPC), was published in 1928. The books contain a collection of stories that the author used to tell to his son before he went to bed in the evening and they came to be counted among the most widely known children‟s stories in literary history. Many consider the books about Winnie-the-Pooh some of the greatest literary works ever written for children. They have been lined up and compared with such classic masterpieces as Alice in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll and The Wind in the Willows (1908) by Kenneth Graham. How Milne uses poetry and prose together in his stories has earned him a place next to some of the great poets, such as E. Nesbit, Walter de la Mare and Robert Louis Stevenson (Greene). In my view, the author‟s basic purpose with writing the books was to make children, his son in particular, happy, and to give them a chance to enter an “enchanted place” (HPC 508). The books were not written to be a means of education or to be the source of constant in-depth analysis of over-zealous critics.

  • Steiff Club Magazine 02/2019 2 Editorial Editorial 3
    Steiff Club Magazine 02/2019 2 Editorial Editorial 3 Dear Steiff friends, We have found that our competitions are becoming more and more popular. The number of entrants is constantly growing. Of course, there are some significant differences. For instance, the "Pattern bear" competition in the last issue of the Club magazine was nowhere near as popular as the competition that we staged as part of the advance notice of the Margarete Steiff edition in May. What is always exciting yet hard to answer is the question of what ultimately persuades you, our Club members, to enter a competition. Is it the kind of questions, the prizes on offer, or simply the fact that there may be the occasional additional reminder for the competition? We don't know, but we are already curious to see how many of you enter the competition on page 38. You will probably have to do a little bit of research to find the answers. You could also be a winner if you are devoted to the items in the Margarete Steiff edition. Starting on page 12, you can find out how the “Margarete Steiff Elephant on wheels” came into being, and what charming details make this exclusive piece so special. And once again, I'd like to draw your attention to Steiff's co-operation with National Geographic (page 28). This is a subject that affects us all, and should not be ignored. Along with lots of other information, you'll learn that a Teddy bear once inspired a woman who was to become a best-selling writer to write and illustrate her first book (page 31), and you can immerse yourself in newly-opened "Worlds of Steiff" both at home and abroad (from page 42).

  • Collecting Old Teddy Bears Part II: Bears from Outside the UK by Jill Byron
    Teddy Bears Collecting Old Teddy Bears Part II: Bears from outside the UK by Jill Byron Margarete Steiff started her now famous company, making soft toys in 1880 but the teddy bears would not be a part of it until 1903, when her nephew, Richard, took some soft toys and a large bear to a showroom in New York, to promote Steiff goods. There, an American buyer, Hermann Berg, saw one of the Steiff bears, ‘Bar 55 PB’ and ordered 3,000 of them and the rest, as they say, is history. Steiff’s wonderful old bears are recog- nised as the ‘Rolls-Royces’ of the bear world and as such, are highly sought after by 1940s-50s pink musical Tara 1905 small Ideal bear. (Old collectors, with fabulous sums of money changing hands for several well-known bears Bear Scene) £395. Toys bear. such as ‘Happy’, who was bought for £55,000 by Paul and Rosemary Volpp in 1989 and ‘Teddy Girl’, purchased for £110,000 by Yoshihiro Sekiguchi, President of the Japanese toy company ‘Sun Arrow’ in 1994. In the year 2000, an old black Steiff, made as a mourning bear when the Titanic sank in 1912, was sold for £91,750 and ‘Elliot’ a unique blue Steiff, went to a Canadian buyer for £49,500. Christie’s held the first ever auction of teddy bears in 1993 and were the sellers of Happy, Teddy Girl, Elliot and the black Titanic Steiff but as the years have gone past, even old Steiffs, which would have commanded a high price a few years ago, have dropped in value, so that it is possible to buy some of them now for a very reasonable price.

  • Beanie Babies + Myspace = Webkinz
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by eScholarShare at Drake University Creating Consumer Value through Physical and Digital Product Bundles: One Firm‟s Approach Michael Dinger Henderson State University Richard Klein Clemson University Jason Bennett Thatcher Clemson University ABSTRACT In recent years, firms have bundled digital products and physical products to create value and gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. In this commentary, we discuss one such approach to value creation. We present the case of Ganz, who developed and marketed the Webkinz brand of plush toy collectibles. These Webkinz toys create unique value through bundling a physical collectible toy with digital services accessed through the Internet. In this article, we analyze the elements of the Ganz business model that contribute to creating consumer value. We conclude with implications for managers and suggestions for future research. Subject Areas: Electronic Commerce; Marketing Article Type: Peer-Reviewed Journal Article INTRODUCTION Picture a business model that integrates the Beanie Baby craze of the 1990s with the power of Facebook‟s online social network. Not only would kids want the collectible toy, but an entire online software backend awaits young users, offering games, educational activities, and social opportunities. As a desirable collectible enabling a product-specific “marketspace” experience (Kim & Mauborgne, 1999), Webkinz represents this unique bundle of offline and online value. The plush toy is paired with a yearlong subscription to games and interactive play in a strictly regulated community inhabited by children. Ganz, the manufacturer of Webkinz, has developed a unique business model that bundles online and offline products to generate stakeholder value.

  • Winnie the Pooh Study Guide
    PLAZA THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS Winnie the Pooh Study Guide Dear Teacher: We have created the following study guide to help make your students’ theater experience with Winnie the Pooh as meaningful as possible. For many, it will be their first time viewing a live theatrical production. We have learned that when teachers discuss the play with their students before and after the production, the experience is more significant and long-lasting. Our study guide provides pre- and post-performance discussion topics, as well as related activity sheets. These are just suggestions. Please feel free to create your own activities and areas for discussion. We hope you and your class enjoy the show! Background In 1926, A.A. Milne wrote Winnie-the-Pooh for his son, Christopher Robin Milne. On his first birthday, Christopher received a stuffed toy he called Edward, and who was later re-named Winnie (after a black bear at the London zoo), and Pooh (after a swan, as mentioned in a poem in Milne’s When We Were Very Young.) Other characters in the story were based on Christopher’s other stuffed animals, including the donkey Eeyore, Kanga and Baby Roo, and Piglet. Owl and Rabbit were inspired by animals who lived in the forest nearby. Illustrator Ernest H. Shepard based the look of his drawings on Christopher Robin Milne and his toys. The original stuffed animals are currently on display at New York City’s Donnell Public Library. Pre-Performance Discussion 1. Read A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh with your students. Much of the dialogue (and many of the songs’ lyrics) come directly from Milne’s writing, and children will enjoy hearing the familiar words and turns of phrase.
