1/17/2024 0 Comments Monopoly empire toys r us ukįor the first time in history, the new Monopoly Empire game features world-class brands, such as Coca-Cola, Xbox, McDonald’s and Samsung – creating a new Monopoly gaming experience where players collect, buy, and trade top brands and companies – rather than property – in a quest to “own it all” and win the game. I used Wondershare video editor to share this photo video. These are a few photos I took while I was there. We also met up with my friend Anna Marikar. Yeah who cares if transformers look realistic in movies lets give giant alien transforming robots smooth human faces that they have in comics, and give us ryhming transformers jazz, wheelie, and blaster, let's have prime die few times like he did in generatin one series, and give transformers nipples on there chest that new director did for Tim burton batman sequels give batman and robin bat nipples but bat not bat girl, let's make humans annoying this time as they where in in cartoon go to cybertron with out space suits on humans breath in space on cybertron, rumble riding on thunder cracker jousting with autobot tracks riding on top of warpath who travels through time in portal in medieval dark ages with knights and dragons.Earlier this week, I was invited to attend the Official Monopoly Empire UK Unveil at Hamleys. We were the earliest people to arrive as the staff set up the store. While we were waiting to get a peek at the game, Mr K and Ms C were each given an air guitar balloon and colouring to do. I want to enjoy good Transformers movies before I die.ĭidn't like monopoly empire like solo themes monopoly have walking dead, and others I really hope Allspark Pictures can work on getting Michael Bay the hell off of the movie franchise so they can reboot it already. Plus, Galvatron is at least using Megatron's mind. I'd rather see an army of drones be worthless canon fodder than an army of living Decepticon who should actually be capable. You mean actually having Decepticons in the films again, right? Because AoE replacing them with literal crappy knock-offs that don't even properly transform so much as melt into rubix cubes, with the one legit Transformer bad guy not being a true Decepticon at all, still kind of pisses me off.Įh, I thought the way they were handled in AOE was a lesser evil compared to ROTF and especially DOTM. Really, I don't think they can mess up the films any worse and if anything, it might mean the Transformers themselves will be handled better and the films might become more kid friendly and stop their vein effort to be serious. They'll probably just force in pointless gimmicks and characters, which the films have already done with "Stealth" Force and the "Dinobots". I dunno if Hasbro is really gonna dictate plots that much. It's not important that whoever controls the films from here on out are merely fans of Transformers, it's that they understand what makes this franchise so enduring while still making it completely fresh at the same time. Meanwhile, if you look at the last three TF movies…their plots are literally copy-pasted from G1 episodes. I say this because the most popularly cited two series in this franchise for having superior quality in comparison to everything else are Beast Wars and Animated, the two series who completely ditched then-accepted status quo and went in completely new directions. And please join with us as we bring you the best Toy Fair coverage around.įans of the franchise? Are you sure about that? Or if that really is better? Please find scans of the magazine, after the jump. Transformers is also featured as a toyline which changed the toy industry forever (we can call it “a toyline which transformed the toy industry”, right?). Stephen Davis, executive VP and Chief Content Officer of Hasbro stated that their newly established Allspark Pictures will have more control over the content of the movies. In another article, Hasbro confirmed that Transformers 5 will be out in 2017 and will continue on for an 8th movie. They have told that they will be bringing back Monopoly Empire featuring Transformers and many other brands like last time (2013). Of course Hasbro was mostly tight-lipped when it comes to specific details but gave away some minor details to the Toy News Magazing (UK) January 2016 issue. Following up to that, Hasbro has spoken to the press regarding what we will see (or rather not see although it’s there) at the event. Last weekend we brought you the news of Hasbro attending the Nuremberg (German) Toy Fair 2016.

According to the World Nuclear Association (WNA), the impact on carbon emissions of using energy derived from nuclear sources instead of fossil fuels is “roughly equivalent to removing one-third of all cars from the world’s roads”.Īfter hydropower, nuclear power is the second largest source of low-carbon energy used to generate electricity, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports. Once in operation, nuclear power plants produce very low to zero amounts of direct greenhouse gas emissions. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafeal Grossi, said that the international community was “rolling the dice” on the plant’s safety, adding: “And if we allow this to continue time after time then one day our luck will run out”. Acton, writing for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said that in the first six months of the conflict, “there were many times when a major nuclear accident – on the scale of the Fukushima disaster – may have been just one errant missile away”. There were concerns over the safety of the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear plant, where scores of staff were being held under difficult conditions by the Russian military, until the invading forces withdrew last April.įighting around Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, Zaporizhzhia in southeastern Ukraine, has alarmed nuclear specialists. The war in Ukraine has highlighted the threat nuclear power plants can pose when they are in a region that is or has become unstable. Nuclear also has a significantly higher capacity factor than hydroelectric power or solar. In the US, nuclear generators have typically operated at more than 90% capacity over the past decade, while wind power capacity has not topped 40%, according to US Energy Information Administration data. And that makes nuclear a competitive energy choice.Ĭompared with renewables, nuclear is also a highly reliable power source. “You can fuel a nuclear reactor with tonnes of fuel, rather than thousands of tonnes of fuel,” said Oliver Morton in The Economist. Generating energy using nuclear fission requires significantly less fuel – specifically, uranium – than coal or gas power plants needed to produce the equivalent level of power. But the nuclear issue is by no means clear-cut, with opponents pointing to various potential disadvantages and hazards. Many experts laud nuclear energy as a reliable power source with low to zero emissions, and one that has a vital role to play in helping governments worldwide reach decarbonisation targets. 1/16/2024 0 Comments Buy guitar standsI am proud to display my guitars in the unit.” – Bill G. “proud to display”“The workmanship and quality are masterful. “very pleased”“Very pleased is an understatement :)” – Gary L.

You can read the full Certified Housing Element (PDF) document for more information. The 6th Cycle Housing Element was adopted at the September 27, 2022, City Council meeting and the HCD certified that the Element is in full compliance with the State Housing element law on October 13, 2022. The fair share is determined at a regional level by the Southern California Association of Governments and is called the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). This inventory demonstrates how cities will accommodate their fair share of projected population growth on a parcel-specific level. The HCD pays particular attention to the required inventory of adequate sites. The Housing Element is unique in that it is the only one reviewed by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to determine its compliance with state law. State law recognizes that local governments play a vital role in the supply and affordability of housing. The Housing Element provides an assessment of the current and projected housing needs for all economic segments of the population. The Signal Hill General Plan includes the following six elements. It is essentially a blueprint for future development and focuses on big-picture and long-term goals. All California cities are required to prepare and adopt a general plan to use as a guide in making land use decisions. 1/16/2024 0 Comments Toys r us locations in texasFamilies can shop for their favorite toys, take a photo with Geoffrey the Giraffe, and rediscover their love of play.

Set to open just before Thanksgiving, this marks the first flagship store in partnership with Go! Retail Group with additional flagship locations opening next year."After the success we've experienced with our first flagship at American Dream and shops inside Macy's, bringing Toys"R"Us to Mall of America was a must. flagship store at Mall of America, the largest shopping and entertainment destination in North America. WHP Global ("WHP" or the "Company"), parent company of Toys"R"Us, announced today the location of its second U.S. That is probably as close as your going to get to experiencing a TRU of old here in the US. While I can't speak to all these locations, I will note the one listed at Lakeforest Mall in MD won't be there for long being that entire mall is slated to soon be bulldozed in favor of a retail/residential model that has become much more popular than your traditional Malls in that area.Īs for stand-alone stores, Toys R' Us did open one last year as their true "Flagship" store with a two-level, 20,000 square foot location in their home state of New Jersey, specifically inside American Dream, an entertainment/retail center in Bergen County, New Jersey. Sherman Oaks Fashion Square - Sherman Oaks Walnut Creek Broadway Plaza - Walnut CreekĪnd then by the end of October of this year you should be able to find TRU Pop-Up stores at Macy's in the following loacations: San Bernardino Inland Center - San Bernardino There actually will be a total of 11 of these "Flagship" locations at the following Macy's come October:Īs of mid July of this year, these are all the Macy's stores that currently have Toys R' Us Pop Up stores in them: These will simply be pop-up stores within Macy's that will be a bit larger than most of the other Pop Up stores, but again these are not new stand-alone stores in any way. So there will be some "Flagship" locations opening up which is where some of those corporate media sites got their "9" new stores opening up for their click bait headlines. feet during the holiday season to offer an even wider assortment of products. The footprint of stores may flex up an additional 500 to3,000 sq. feet in flagship locations in Atlanta, Chicago, Honolulu, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and San Francisco. Beginning late July and rolling out through October 15th, the in-store shops will range from 1,000 sq. Macy’s expands partnership with WHP Global to bring the beloved Toys“R”Us brand to every Macy’s store in America this holiday season. These are official images released by Macy's.įor exactly what is happening, here is the exact quote from the press release put out in July by Macy's in regards to all of this: You can see images below in our GALLERY of what these Pop-up locations look like if you have yet to see one for yourselves. The new Toys R' Us is simply expanding upon what they had started to do last year by opening up much smaller pop-up stores within Macy's department stores, basically trying to capitalize on parents doing their holiday toy shopping while also shopping for other things that one might normally come to Macy's for. While no one would like to see the Toys R' Us stand-alone stores of old return than me, sadly that is not what is happening right now. Basically making folks think that the TRU of old was set to make a return here in the United States this year. Since then however, I have seen a number of corporate media sites running what I would consider to be click-bait articles like this one on Fox News with a headline proclaiming TRU will reopen in 9 states while showing off an image of an old TRU stand-alone store. Back in mid-July we told you how Toys R' Us and Macy's had put the word out that they planned to have TRU pop-up stores in every Macy's Department store by October of this year. 1/16/2024 0 Comments Optimyst electric fireplaceOverview of the Dimplex Optimyst Linear FireplaceĮxperience the Dimplex Optimyst Linear Water Vapor Fireplace, a game-changer in home comfort.

It is a little valley in which “a small brook glides through, with just murmur enough to lull you to repose, and the occasional whistle of a quail, or the tapping of a woodpecker, is almost the only sound that ever breaks in upon the uniform tranquility” (956). The glen of Sleepy Hollow itself embodies the characteristics of the fresh, new land of America. When these allegories are understood, and these opposing forces are revealed, readers will finally be able to understand a central message behind Irving’s tale-it is an allegory for the goals, the problems, and the livelihood of an adolescent America. Ichabod Crane and Brom Van Brunt are meant to be more than just two characters with a rivalry-they are actually representations of the young American nation and its “motherland,” Great Britain. Readers may benefit by understanding that the opposing forces presented here are these two characters, the victim and the victor, the underdog and the front-runner-not those of supernatural and reality-in order to understand a major significance of Irving’s tale. It is a legend of rivalry, a rivalry between the characters Ichabod Crane and Brom Van Brunt. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” can be read as a tale of opposing forces, but not in the same way as ghost story. As such, readers would expect the legend to be overflowing with superstition and opposing forces-good vs. It is this legendary phantom that grants Washington Irving’s tale the label of ghost story. When one hears the title “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” they might shiver a little and think of the infamous spectre, “the apparition of a figure on horseback without a head … known, at all the country firesides, by the name of The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow” (Irving 966). “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”: An Allegory for a Young America zip file containing this book to use offline, simply click here.
