It turns out there are lots of sharp elbows in the plush toy business. Build-A-Bear and the makers of Squishmallows are facing off in federal court. Kelly Toys and its Berkshire Hathaway-controlled parent company Jazwares have sued Build-A-Bear, saying its new “Skoosherz” toys copy the look and feel of their mega-popular Squishmallows products. The Skoosherz line, which Build-A-Bear began selling last January, has the “same distinctive trade dress” of Squishmallows, the complaint filed says, pointing to similarities in shape, face style, coloring and fabric. “If a picture is worth a thousand words, comparing the Squishmallows original products to Build-A-Bear's copycats speaks volumes,” Moez Kaba, an attorney representing Kelly Toys and Jazwares, said in a statement. The companies will “vigorously defend” their intellectual property rights, he added. Jazwares is seeking unspecified damages and for Build-A-Bear to stop selling Skoosherz products. But Build-A-Bear hit back with its own lawsuit, claiming Skoosherz does not infringe on the Squishmallows makers' rights. It wants a declaratory judgment saying that the Squishmallow maker's claimed trade dress rights are invalid and unenforceable. The St. Louis-based retailer says Skoosherz products are based on its own original plush animals, “which have been sold for a number of years.” The lawsuit notes that products from other companies using features laid out in Jazwares' complaint were around long before Squishmallows were created. “If each aspect of the claimed trade dress were in fact protected trade dress, it would be virtually impossible for competitors to create alternative designs,” Build-A-Bear added. It said Squishmallows' own line has also evolved and is not always consistent. Squishmallows were created in 2016 and have skyrocketed in popularity. According to market research firm Circana, the brand's 8-inch plush assortment was the top-selling toy in the U.S. last year. The toys also have become an online sensation. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga, for example, have shared images of their collections on social media. In a statement, Jazwares accused Build-A-Bear of going to great lengths to capitalize on Squishmallows' success. Jazwares' lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District in California, added that Skoosherz's look, name and marketing have already confused consumers — causing potential losses in sales.

this week's show is devoted to identifying which product —if any — can be called “the Furby of Xmas 2023” (actual Furbies made in 2023 are ineligible as they're substantially less popular than The Replacements ‘Tim' remixes box, currently half off at online retail because everyone knows if you get one for a kid you'll be done for child abuse). Apparently it's someone or something called a Squishmallow and learning this is not dissimilar to my reading that some alleged a-lister has just been accused or charged with something heinous. I mean, I still have no idea who Artie Hammer is.  That's the great thing about listener phone calls — aside from how 99% of you have faces made for (internet) radio — every week is an education.

#9: Finding a specific Squishmallow isn't always easy.

This week the Sad dads wonder if Binaca is still a thing and remember the Zima days.  Jon digs a drunk hole.  Watch the Bear, please, we beg you, pretty please.  Foo digs shoe shining videos.  What bothers you to watch on TV? Do you wear a mask when you do yard work?  Foo finally gets his bike legalized, street worthy and gets to riding.  Gym does a CR-V throttle body cleaning and idle relearn.  Gym's daughter is in the October issue of Costco Connection magazine as a Squishmallow collector.  Plus more!

This week Conner and Paul talk about the new tab in the Youtube Music App with Paul proceeding to explain why Youtube Music is BAD. The two also talk about spiders, Paul's new alarm clock, Snapchat, and Paul mentions how he DOESN'T have a Squishmallow problem.

Squishmallows took the world by storm at a most uncertain time. Thanks to their better form, softer materials, and relatable characteristics, these tiny plush toys overtook the market with ease. Squishmallows are so coveted even today that the company's revenue as of 2021 was $57.89 million. In 2020, Business Wire reported Kelly Toy's Squishmallow sale for the fiscal year was 50 million.   Part of their appeal is attributed to the versatility of each model, making Squishmallows the perfect gifts for every occasion. It's a little wonder everyone wants a piece for themselves. Here's a list of the rarest Squishmallow in the world and some collection tips to help you through your shopping.

My daughter has a favourite toy. It's a Squishmallow called Serene. Serene is a round-ish turquoise squirrel. If you're not into soft toys, you may not know how popular Squishmallows are, but to give you an idea... the last time I was in the local toy shop, every one of the four people in the queue to pay had hold of a Squishmallow. But the popularity of Squishmallows isn't the point of this little story. Serene goes everywhere with my daughter and is her best friend - as much as a wannabe toddler can have a best friend. Given how Serene can sometimes be thrown from the buggy with the complete lack of foresight and comprehension of possible events that only a baby has, and the extreme love she has for her, we thought it best to buy a second Serene. "Let's buy a clone of Serene, a new one, just in case," I said to my wife while browsing the toy store and walking past the sizable Squishmallow display. And so it was. This new, untarnished, blemish-free squirrel sits wrapped in a plastic bag on top of the wardrobe in my bedroom. The hope, of course, is that clone Serene, imposter Serene, will never be needed. But if the worst was to happen and OG Serene went to *wink* "stay with Grandma for a while" *wink* or *wink* "went to keep Mummy company at work" *wink*, this currently lifeless squishy toy would be subbed in. She'd look the same ("Serene has had a bath, how lovely!"), but we'd know. Forever, we'd know what we'd done. I'd miss Serene, but I'd never say anything. Occasionally I'd lay awake at night thinking about her, wondering what life she's leading, "living with Grandma." Maybe I'd glance over at a pile of toys, Serene 2.0 staring at me, eyes lifeless but piercing. “Noooooo!” I'd attempt to cry out, but it would be too late. She'd attempt to suck the soul from my body. I'd resist, but she'd be too strong. I'd become trapped inside the lovable squirrel's impossibly soft body. New Serene, inhabiting my body, would glance at me now and again with a look of victory. She'd won. Then one night she'd walk downstairs into the dimly lit living room, calmly and without saying a word placing original Serene down next to me. "You never should have called me a fucking clone," she'd whisper. I can't say a word. Welcome to the VG247 Best Games Ever Podcast, Episode 13: Best game that was called a clone of another game. Please do let us know what you think of the show – and if this is your first time listening, do go back to listen to the previous episodes. If you've got suggestions for topics, we'd love to hear them. If we don't come up with some new ideas soon we'll have to go down the road of topics like, "Best game that James Billcliffe thought was wonderful but every other sentient being on the planet accepted was terrible" (not at all related to this week's podcast!). “What is VG247's Best Games Ever Podcast?” you ask while trying to imagine life inside a soft toy. You can't imagine it. It's a concept ripped straight out of what would be the best episode of The Twilight Zone ever made, such is the quality of the idea. Anyway, this podcast, which is why you're on this page (not to read my pitches for horror fiction), is essentially a 30-minute panel show where people (me and some others on VG247) decide on the best game in a specific category. That's it. It's good. We've got some details on the show's content below (if you want to get a refresher before heading to the comments to make a wonderful, considered post or don't want to listen but do want to know what games we picked), so if you want to avoid spoilers, don't scroll past this warning. W A R N I N G The Best Game that was once called a clone of another game This is the topic of Episode thirteen of VG247's Best Games Ever Podcast. Here's a rundown of who picked what. Tom – Axiom Verge Honestly, this game is so good I'm not sure why the others bothered to argue against it. Axiom Verge is an absolutely brilliant Metroid clone that mixes pin-sharp gameplay with a superb sense of adventure and discovery. Please, please, please give it a look if you've yet to. It's on all current platforms, so there's really no excuse. There's a sequel, too, although I'm yet to be sucked in by it in the same way. Alex – Mortal Kombat For my money, Mortal Kombat is the original video game clone. Everybody described this game as a Street Fighter clone back in the day, even though its core developers maintain to this day that it was primarily inspired by an even older fighting game, with Street Fighter holding little influence over the spine-ripping game that turned arcades upside down in the nineties. One thing was undeniable, however: Midway only greenlit MK due to the success of Street Fighter. The two are inexorably linked, forever. Whatever the truth of inspiration was didn't matter to the press or the public anyway. MK was Street Fighter's brasher, louder, attention-grabbing cousin. Arguably, MK was resolutely American just as Street Fighter was unabashedly Japanese. The two engaged in a war that was as potent and as divisive as Mario vs Sonic. Street Fighter launched the fighting game genre as we know it today, and MK solidified its potential for mass-market success. But even so... people continued to call MK a Street Fighter clone. It's a moniker that will follow it forever - deserved or not. James – Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade When it comes to Diablo clones it's hard to go wrong. All you need is some made-up fantasy words, tons of loot and more spiders and rats than you could fit in the world's largest, spookiest terrarium. The loop of picking up green things, then blue things, then purple things, then orange things as the loot rarity goes up is so insatiably moreish that you're good for at least 80 hours of gameplay regardless of the wrapping. A premium example of this comes in the form of 2005 PSP launch title, Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade - a rock solid Diablo clone with the added bonus of being on an awesome portable console with retro-futuristic discs that still spin inside their plastic cases as you eject them - still hot - from inside the handheld.

I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines of the past seven days. we go live on social media first and then All sources linked up at diabetes dash connections dot com when this airs as a podcast. XX In the news is brought to you by T1D Exchange! T1D Exchange is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving outcomes for the entire T1D population. https://t1dexchange.org/stacey/ XX Our top story, Black children with type 1 diabetes experience disparities in health outcomes compared with other racial and ethnic groups with similar neighborhood opportunity profiles. That's according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Network Open. This was a very big study – more than 70-thousand patient encounters under the age of 21 from 2009 to 2018. They looked at something called the Child Opportunity Index. This It combines data from neighborhood-level indicators, like good schools, parks and playgrounds, clear air and safe housing. They found that the probability of readmission within a year was significantly higher among Black children with a very low COI category versus Hispanic children and White children at the same COI category. These researchers say doctors and educators need to be aware and include interventions that target racial disparities. https://www.physiciansweekly.com/outcomes-worse-for-children-with-type-1-diabetes-who-are-black XX New research suggests the people of certain racial ethnic groups should be screened for diabetes at lower body mass index than white people. A recommendation that contradicts recent guidelines from the United States Preventive Services Task Force. At a time when a lot of medicine is trying to rid itself of race-based tools this could be tricky.. but these researchers say that using a one-size-fits-all approach to screening, when diabetes is two to four times more prevalent and more deadly in Black, Hispanic, and Asian Americans, is likely to result in underdiagnosis of the disease, and widen health gaps. https://www.statnews.com/2022/05/09/race-ethnicity-bmi-diabetes-screening/ XX New partnership between JDRF, Yale University and a company called NexImmune. That company has something called Artificial Immune Modulation nanoparticles and the idea here is to if that could work with Teplizumab to delay or prevent type 1. Teplizumab is already being tested as a prevention method and is back in front of the FDA. NexImmune says it's wider plan is to use the body's own T-cells to generate a specific immune response to prevent not just diabetes but other auto immune conditions and even cancer. https://www.jdrf.org/press-releases/neximmune-yale-and-jdrf-enter-into-600k-research-partnership-for-type-1-diabetes/ XX Oramed Pharmaceuticals announced this week that it has enrolled 100% of the patients in the world's first Phase 3 study of oral insulin This is being looked at just for type 2 right now. The primary endpoint of the study is to compare the efficacy of ORMD-0801 to placebo in improving glycemic control, with a secondary endpoint of assessing the change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose at 26 weeks. They hope to announce results in January of 2023. https://www.biopharma-reporter.com/Article/2022/05/05/Oramed-hits-oral-insulin-clinical-trial-milestone XX New partnership between two diabetes heavy weights. The Diabetes Research Institute, DRI Foundation Canada (DRIFCAN) and Alberta Diabetes Institute (ADI) have announced a research partnership The CEO of DRI says "Type 1 diabetes knows no borders or boundaries; nor should the research to find a cure. There's a lot of research funded by these groups, included islet and stem cell transplantation. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/diabetes-research-institute-foundation-joins-193300513.html XX Right back to the news in a moment but first we've got a new sponsor. As I mentioned, The T1D Exchange Registry is an online research study, designed to harness the power of individuals with type 1 diabetes. It's a research study conducted online over time, designed to foster innovation and improve the lives of people with T1D. Personal information remains confidential and participation is fully voluntary. Once enrolled, participants will complete annual surveys and have the opportunity to sign up for other studies on specific topics related to T1D. By sharing opinions, experiences and data, patients can help advance meaningful T1D treatment, care and policy Sign up at T1DExchange.org slash Stacey (that's S-T-A-C-E-Y). XX Insulet's CEO is stepping down.. Shacey Petrovic has been in the role since 2019 and says she's stepping down June first for amily reasons. Petrovec will stay on as an advisor for the next year to aid in the transition and support the company's launch of the Omnipod 5. She'll replaced by Jim Hollingshead, who's been on Insulet's Board for the last three years. He's been the president of ResMed – a company that focuses on advances in sleep medicine- for the last 12 years. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/insulet-swap-ceos-amid-omnipod-5-insulin-pump-roll-out XX I feel like I haven't done a newscast in a few weeks without mentioning model Lila Moss. After being on the cover of UK Vogue and making headlines at the Met Gala, she's now showing off her Libre and Omnipod In a new Fendi and Versace ad campaign https://pagesix.com/2022/05/11/lila-moss-wears-diabetes-monitor-in-fendi-versace-ad-campaign/ XX Got an update for you on T1D The Movie. We talked about this a few months ago – Star Trek actor Noah Averbach Katz is producing a short film with type 1 at the center. He started a kick starter campaign and got a wonderful response from the start trek community which, along with the diabetes community, fully funded the project. I got an update that he is starting filming this week. He also says if you backed the project at the level where you'd get a token of appreciation, they're working on those too.. more to come. XX Interesting find on the toy front. I had never heard of Squishmallows but people say the stuffed toys are soothing while others say it's just a scam and there's nothing inherently special about the plush toys. Either way, one of the limited edition plushies is being marketed as having type 1 diabetes. There's nothing on the toy itself to show that it might use diabetes technology – this is just listed in the toy description on line. I'm trying to find out the story behind this so letme know if you know atying! XX On this week's long format episode, you'll hear about the Mental Health Plus diabetes conference.. the organizers said every conference has one session on mental health – we really need more. So they did it. Love that! Next week, as I mentioned, Dexcom's Chief Technical Officer on the G7, some interesting new info.. and I asked him all of your questions. Listen wherever you get your podcasts That's In the News for this week.. if you like it, please share it! Thanks for joining me! See you back here soon.

Alison is a seven-year-old girl living in York in the United Kingdom. Alison wanted a popular toy called Squishmallow. (It is a stuffed toy rabbit.) So, Alison saved up her money. She finally had enough, so her mom took her to the Aldi store to buy one. However, the store had sold out of the toy. This brought tears of disappointment to Alison.  The store manager then phoned several other stores, but could not locate a toy. So, he offered to bring in the toy he had purchased for his baby. Alison and her mom returned to the store on another day to purchase the toy. But the store manager refused to accept payment. Alison received the toy and named it Jamie, after the store manager.* This story shows  an act of kindness.  We are focusing this week on kindness, one of the fruit of the Spirit. It is usually easy to be kind to innocent children like Alison. It is harder to be kind to selfish or evil people. But that is what God does. Luke 6:35 tells us that God “is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.”(NIV) God's example of kindness is also the reason we are told to love our enemies. Doing good to those who don't deserve it is how we demonstrate that we are the children of God. Our challenge today is to be kind to someone who doesn't deserve it. *Megan Shaw and Bradley Jolly, "Aldi worker's amazing kindness after little girl, 7, saw her toy was out of stock," Daily Express, April 6, 2021, https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1419435/Aldi-supermarkets-Squishmallow-rabbit-toy-little-girl-tears-York-Easter Please provide feedback and suggestions at: https://www.sparkingfaith.com/feedback/ Bumper music “Landing Place” performed by Mark July, used under license from Shutterstock.

Brooke and Katie discuss our latest Squishmallow finds and one of us recounts our first night out on the town since the pandemic started, which was almost thwarted by a bad reaction to a sweet treat with a little extra something thrown in. We also discuss the Diz Knee College Program returning in a month, and all of the... interesting changes being made in the selection process. We take a walk down memory lane and reminisce over our own experiences doing the program, and how ultimately they changed our lives for the better. We talk about people with cushy jobs overreacting to Kacey Musgraves being an essential worker for a day, the excellence of M*chael K*y's opening day vlogs, and read some of our favorite tweets from a notorious vlogger's account. For our NTBABBs we discuss eyelash extensions, people who tell girls that they look like their dads, and debate whether Beetlejuice is good at eating girls out.
