Weird Laws

By Pamela McClintock, The Hollywood Reporter

Lionsgate

Jennifer Lawrence stars as “Katniss Everdeen” in “The Hunger Games.”

Making history, Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games” opened to an astounding $155 million at the domestic box office, the third-best debut of all time and the best for any film opening outside of summer.

“Hunger Games” — the big-screen adaptation of?Suzanne Collins’ best-selling young-adult novel starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth — also reeled in the biggest opening for a nonsequel.

“It was the perfect storm. Having the first film in a franchise to be so gigantic is amaing. We had a great book, and a great director in Gary Ross,” said Lionsgate president of marketing Tim Palen, whose team is credited with a savvy campaign.

Domestic box office revenues were up a whopping 78 percent from a year ago, thanks to the might of “Hunger Games,” which changes the fortunes of Lionsgate and gives the studio an instant tentople franchise. Lionsgate will make three more films by splitting the final book in Collins’ trilogy into two movies.

Overseas, “Hunger Games” turned in a more muted performance for a solid bow of $59.3 million from 67 markets. The foreign tally, which came in ahead of the international debut of the first “Twilight” film, puts “Hunger Games’ “?worldwide opening at $214.3 million.

“Hunger Games” is projected to place No. 1 in virtually every foreign market, but did best in English-speaking territories, and particularly Australia, where it debuted to $6.7 million. “Hunger Games” turned in $7.5 million in the U.K., despite unseasonably warm weather, which often keeps consumers outside.

In North America, the tentpole came in not far behind the $158.4 million earned by “The Dark Knight” in its July 2008 debut. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2″ holds the record for best debut with $169.2 million in summer 2011.

Among the past films that “Hunger Games” surpassed in its opening weekend were “Spider-Man 3″ ($151.1 million in 2007), “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” ($142.8 million in 2009) and “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1″ ($138.1 million last year).

“Hunger Games” drew an A CinemaScore overall on Friday night, with those under the age of 25 giving it a glowing A+ and those over 25 an A-. Tweens and teens turned out in force for the film, with 39 percent of the audience younger than 18, according to CinemaScore exit polling.

Part of the movie’s strength is that it is appealing to males as well as females, unlike the femme-heavy “Twilight” franchise, another blockbuster film property based on a young-adult book series. Males made up 39 percent of “Hunger Games’ “?Friday night audience.

“The numbers just kept growing and growing. And based on the trajectory of the weekend, we are going to have an unbelievable hold. We are going to play and play,” Lionsgate executive vice president of distribution David Spitz said. “I think that when we initially looked at this property, we thought we were going to have “Twilight” numbers in terms of females, but we didn’t.”

“Hunger Games” also played like a family film, evidenced by its strong Friday to Saturday hold. The film fell a narrow 25 percent, while the “Twilight” and “Harry Potter” films fall anywhere from 44 percent to 60 percent.

According to CinemaScore, 49 percent of those showing up to see “Hunger Games” were under the age of 25; Lionsgate’s exit polling showed that 44 percent were under the age of 25.

“Hunger Games” played in a total of 4,137 theaters at the domestic box office, including 268 IMAX theaters, which turned in a hefty $10.6 milion for a per screen average of $40,000, a record for a 2D nonsequel.

Elsewhere at the domestic box office, Sony and MGM’s Jonah Hill-Channing Tatum comedy “21 Jump Street” stayed strong its opening weekend despite “Hunger Games.” The R-rated pic fell 41 percent to $21.3 million, putting its domestic cume at a handy $71.1 million.

Universal and Illumination’s “Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax” came in No. 3 after “Hunger Games” and “21 Jump Street,” grossing $13.1 million in its fourth weekend for an enviable domestic gross of $177.3 million.

Taming the Outlook monster is something we all need help with, so here are a few easy ways to start cleaning up your Outlook inbox.

Sort by sender

This is a good first step. It allows you to easily spot and delete email from advertisers whose messages you no longer need. This also makes it easy to spot email from friends and family, which don?t have a real retention requirement.

Tip: Make a separate folder for emails that contain pictures you might want to save. Then, just like in ?olden? days, you can ?cut? them out and ?paste? them into a PowerPoint album and save that instead of the email.

Start your Outlook organizing here!

Search for old emails

If you have accumulated several years of emails, start by creating search folders for each year. Search ?folders aren?t actual folders; it?s a search criteria and a way to see all email, no matter what folder it is in. The largest unit of time allowed is months, so you?ll need to search for mail that?s older than a year by specifying 12 months, 24 months, and so on.? Drag all emails into a folder named for the year (2009, 2010). Add a task item to your list to start cleaning up one year at a time.

Check with your technology staff to see if they already retain emails for legal purposes, which would free you up to delete them from your inbox!

One solution for keeping it all organized: Keep the current year?s emails in your inbox and subfolders, the previous year?s email in its own folder and anything older on backup media (or deleted).

Microsoft Outlook Calendars & Tasks: Tips to Improve Your Time Management Skills

Mark for handling

Now that your inbox is free of old mail and advertising, you can start sorting through what to keep and what to toss.? Create a category for emails you think you should delete. Assign that category a shortcut, so it?s quick to mark things for review. This method is only useful if you allow it to sort or filter by the category each day and either delete or folder the items.

Set up rules

If you find yourself moving the same type of email to the same folder, consider letting Outlook do that for you by creating a rule. For example, this would be a perfect solution for nightly reports or status updates that you don?t actually read, but need to reference for a period of time. You can even leave it marked unread, so you always know how many reports you haven?t seen. However, they no longer clutter up your inbox or bury urgent messages.

If you use Outlook 2010, you also have the convenience of Quick Steps, a one-click solution to multiple repeatable actions.

In this easy-to-follow Executive Summary, we?ll show you how these items are viewed and reported to make sure you stay on top of meetings, ?to-do? items and assignments ? with a ?no-miss? guarantee.

You?ll learn how to:

• Use calendar features that enable you to make clear decisions involving how you spend your time
• Utilize tasks to track and assign work
• Put Outlook to work as a project management tool
• Insert other Outlook items, such as notes, emails and tasks
• Set reminders for yourself
• Color-code information
• Keep track of it all with reminders and ?at a glance? features

Once you know how to get calendars and tasks working for you, you?ll send your efficiency skyrocketing. Get your copy today!

A new communications system for the US Navy saw its first component launch on an Atlas V rocket on Feb. 24.

Once fully implemented in 2014, the Multi User Objective System will increase bandwidth available to Navy users tenfold over current capabilities. The MUOS system uses a version of civilian cell network technology called Wide Code Division Multiple Access, or WCDMA to provide users with enhanced communications abilities across the globe.

MUOS also supports legacy technology, making sure that users with older equipment, which functioned over the UHF Follow-On (UFO) satellite constellation, will continue to operate with the new MUOS technology. This obviates the need to completely replace all older systems, and allows a slower and more natural turnover to new systems.

The MUOS satellites are built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems. They weigh 6,800 lbs and have a wingspan of 92 feet and a radio dish 46 feet in diameter.

MUOS-1 was the first of five satellites to be launched; four will be fully operational and one will be an on-orbit spare.

The Atlas V that carried MUOS-1 flew in the 551 configuration, with five solid rocket boosters, a five-meter fairing, and a single engine Centaur upper stage. This is only the third time this configuration has flow, the other two times flew for NASA.

This flight also marked the 200th flight for the venerable Centaur upper stage. The Centaur was the first rocket stage in history to use liquid hydrogen as fuel, and paved the way for the Apollo lunar landing by sending Surveyor landing probes to the Moon.

The first Centaur was launched in 1962, but failed due to the explosion of the Atlas booster. The first successful Centaur flight was not until Nov 1963.

The Centaur has not only graced the top of the Atlas rocket, but was also used on the Titan rockets, which are now retired.

We’ll be the first to admit that we don’t understand Toshiba’s tablet intentions. There are plenty of tantalizing prototypes and an abundance of confusingly branded models, but there’s no overarching reason to pay much attention. The LT170 is a case in point: it’s nominally a budget Android device, with a Freescale 1GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM and 8GB internal storage, but by now the €299 ($400) asking price could pick up something far, far nicer, like the heavily discounted 16GB HTC Flyer or 32GB BlackBerry PlayBook. Anyway, there it is. Bewilderment.

Story inspiration can come from many places, but there are days when it?s down-right impossible to find one good idea. When it comes to non-fiction writing, such as for my writers? blog, I?ve been known to hit bedrock at the bottom of the idea well.

That is, until today.

I received a review copy of Bryan Cohen?s ?1,000 Creative Writing Prompts? a few weeks ago, and I must admit I didn?t have very high expectations. Regular readers of my blog know I?m not a big fan of writing prompts. Most of them are isolated exercises that, like free-writing, are designed to ?prime the pump.? Such exercises feel wasteful of my creative energy. I want to be able to use what I write, and that isn?t always possible with the average story prompt.

Cohen?s introduction immediately dispelled my doubts. It is well-written and lays the foundation for how to use his story idea questions effectively. (Very practical!) I personally found this instructive, and I?ve been at this for a lot of years! But I?m getting ahead of myself.

When I set out to review ?1,000 Creative Writing Prompts: Ideas for Blogs, Scripts, Stories and More,? instead of reading every word in this 100-page volume, I did what I expect an average reader would do ? devour the introduction and skim through the prompts until a category, sub-category, or individual prompt caught my interest.

My evaluation: Bryan Cohen?s prompts are pure genius in their construction.

Please don?t misunderstand. I don?t mean that I liked ALL the prompts. There were many I didn?t care for, but that will be true for anyone. There were subcategories, for example, that rubbed me the wrong way. Such reactions, however, should not rule out using those prompts. On the contrary, writing about a topic you are passionately opposed to could turn out to be some of your best writing, because you?re speaking from your heart.

The thing I love most is that his technique for creating these 1,000 prompts is truly inspired. They are written as questions.

What?s inspired about that? Our brains, when presented with a question, immediately begin to find an answer. Cohen has organized these question-prompts into 12 categories that should resonate with nearly everyone. From holidays to seasons, from memories to ?the weird,? there is something for even the pickiest writer.

So you?ll have to excuse me now. I?m heading back over to his mystery and fantasy prompts, hoping to find some story inspiration of my own. You could be writing up a storm within a few minutes yourself.

If you?re a writer who needs a boost in the creativity department at least occasionally, don?t pass up this bargain of a book! It should be on every writer?s Kindle.

When it comes to decoding the term ?healthy living?, there are endless interpretations. Contrary to popular belief, getting healthy is not about aspiring to reach an impossible body type.

The truth is a lot easier. Healthy living is within your reach, but it is definitely a long-term commitment. There are steps, which one needs to take to be healthier and pave the way for living a full and healthy life tomorrow. Here?s your to-do list for the top 10 tips for healthy living.

Make appointments with your doctor. Have open channels of communication with your doctor. Make sure that you are not over weight. Get casual check ups with your doctor every year or every six months, depending on your age and health. Start by getting a check up from your primary family doctor. Use this check up to determine nutrition and exercise requirements. Ask the doctor to refer you to fitness experts like trainers and nutritionists, if needed. Many times, people are unaware of their nutrition requirements. Consulting the right experts helps solve this dilemma.

Gauge your girth. With the help of a BMI calculator, check if you are overweight and how much weight you need to reduce. According to experts, if you have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or more, you are overweight by approximately 50 kilograms (for men) and about 40 kilograms (for women). This is considered severely obese.

Assess your activity. Try to get up and move around more frequently. Start gradually if you aren?t in good shape or aren?t used to exercising. Even a 10-minute daily walk can help. You will note that good fitness levels positively impact your spiritual and mental level as much as your physical well being. Thus, the benefits of physical activity are aplenty. If you have any health conditions, are over-weight and have never exercised before, or if you?re above 50 years of age, talk to your doctor before you start a new exercise program.

Keep a food diary. Maintaining a food diary gives you a solid record of your health success, which would work as a boosting factor in order to maintain your lost weight in the future. It helps you understand which points in the day lead to diet sabotage through unhealthy food cravings and indulgences. It also helps you pin point the portions you eat at every meal time.

Check your mood and energy. Binge eating depicts a lack of control over one?s eating habits, a feeling where one has no control over how much or how many times one is eating. Blame it on your lifestyle choices or lack of exercise routine. If you overeat when you are not even hungry, then there?s no escape from weight gain. Additionally, if you tend to overeat more when dining outside, especially on unhealthy food and drink, then the empty calories will end up harming you in the long run. Focus on your moods and you?ll be able to control the triggers that cause these binges and unhealthy eating episodes.

Consider your social network. If one person becomes obese, those closely connected to them have a greater chance of becoming obese themselves. Interestingly, it is observed that if obesity runs in your family it becomes even more difficult to break the obesity rut and follow a healthy lifestyle. Do understand that if your social circle comprises of unhealthy people, you are more impacted by negative and unhealthy factors in your life.

Sleep well. A lack of sleep results in a feeling of being overworked, which leads to unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as eating junk food, addictions to coffee and the so called ?energy boosting drinks?. Good sleep hygiene will help in timing your sleep schedule effectively. Make sure you are not drinking alcohol within three hours of bedtime. If you don?t get sleep, try to dim the lights, drink some herbal tea, listen to some light music and read a book, after taking a long shower or a combination of the above.

Strength training and cardio are crucial. Extremely overweight people who lift heavy weights, still manage to lose weight. As a matter of fact, nowadays most fitness experts will tell you that strength training is even more crucial than cardio training for healthy weight management. The concept is simple ? weight lifiting helps build muscle. Muscle metabolises energy at a higher rate than fat. And it helps you avoid injury and wear and tear as you grow older. Importantly, gaining muscle is not the same as bodybuilding. The average person does not bulk up by simply following one hour workout routines 3-5 times a week.

Reducing salt content is a must. Too much sodium intake can lead to water retention in the blood increasing blood pressure. Normally, the kidney flushes this excess water from the body. However, sometimes, kidneys are unable to function properly and find it difficult to expel the excess fluid sufficiently out of the body, thereby leading to fluid retention. This increases the volume of blood being pumped through the blood vessels and can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).

Pay attention to chronic conditions. The unhealthy diets and sedentary lifestyles of today have contributed to an alarming increase in obesity in both children and adults. More than a cosmetic problem, obesity has emerged as a major health problem causing a number of ailments and complications, such as osteoarthritis, gallstones, liver problems, heart attacks, diabetes, high bp and so on. Therefore, controlling and avoiding obesity will help you avoid several life and lifestyle-threatening diseases.
