Parents face dramatic shortages of children s outdoor toys following a surge in demand since Christmas, warns a Powys business. Llanymynech-based toy retailer Rebo UK Ltd said a demand for ride on cars, bikes, quads and trucks and orders for outdoor climbing frames, slides, swings and trampolines have risen beyond expectations . Consumers have been told that they should prepare for higher-than-expected price rises as demand, product shortages and the continued rise in transport costs has its effect following Brexit. James Owen, owner, said: The stock we had delivered before December was intended for the usual high demand at Easter but a big rise in sales has taken the whole industry by surprise so shortages will no doubt follow.
Wonder Woman sequel highlights parallel political moments
By James Owen
Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman 1984” or “WW84,” as the kids call it was released in theaters and on streaming simultaneously on Christmas Day, and was lambasted by critics and fanboys alike.
Many complained that the film, a sequel to the above-average 2017 comic-book movie, was incoherent with silly dialogue and too much plot crammed into an already-long running time.
Which made me wonder: have these people forgotten what a comic-book movie looks and sounds like? Because this could describe all of them, even the really good ones.
There’s a misogynist strain to some of these critiques. Having a female lead with her own agency is a bit threatening to geeks who must adhere to the idea that men are the inherently stronger gender. Or, heaven forbid, a director infuses a feminine perspective into an action film. More on that later.
In Kansas and Missouri, critics say the “energy choice” legislation is in direct conflict with cities’ commitments to transition from fossil fuels.
Kansas and Missouri may become the next states to block cities from banning natural gas, with hearings on legislation in both states expected soon.
Although natural gas bans at this point are more of a coastal phenomenon, many Midwestern cities have adopted climate goals that will be difficult to achieve with continued reliance on natural gas. More than two dozen Missouri cities, including Kansas City and St. Louis, have established clean energy goals, along with Lawrence, Kansas. A coalition of Kansas City suburbs recently adopted a climate plan committing to providing city services using only clean energy by 2030, and for all community energy use to be sourced from renewables by 2035.
