Although Chinese turnstiles have seen great recovery since cinemas reopened last year, local movies did not perform as hoped during the July/August period. July was expected to be a blackout period for imports, and we had heard that could stretch into August, which did come to pass. The last major Hollywood title to release was Sony’s Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway in mid-June. Most notably, they include Disney/Marvel’s Black Widow, Warner Bros’ Space Jam: A New Legacy and Disney’s Jungle Cruise, as well as upcoming titles to have been submitted such as Warner’s Reminiscence and Dune, and Disney’s Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings. While Luca’s appearance on the schedule could be a harbinger of increased free-flow to come between China and Hollywood, there is a backlog of several studio movies that have yet to be dated. ![]() Luca shares his adventures with his newfound best friend, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface. Set in a seaside town on the Italian Riviera, it centers on a young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer. The coming-of-age tale is directed by Oscar nominee Enrico Casarosa ( La Luna). The well-reviewed Luca debuted theatrically in non-Disney Plus markets in mid-June and has grossed $30M to date. ‘F9’ Tops $600M WW, ’Black Widow’ Passes $300M & China Still Confounds With Hollywood Locked In Release Date Limbo - International Box Office ![]()

![]() Why should my toddler learn to use a knife? If your child is upset about the knife being removed, remind her that you can try to use it again another time soon (state a specific time like “tomorrow” or “later today”). This shouldn’t be a punishment, but a redirection. If your child is using the knife in a disrespectful way, banging, waving, or putting the knife in her mouth, calmly remind your child that knives are just for cutting food. If your child continues using it disrespectfully, tell the child that you have another cooking job you need help with (dumping ingredients into a bowl, sprinkling some salt, stirring…) then remove the knife and place it out of sight. Make learning a new skill a positive experience. Easier said than done, I know, but do the best you can. We can’t expect toddlers to use knives appropriately and perfectly right off the bat. Testing limits, learning though play, and being very active are all age appropriate behaviors. Clearly explaining, demonstrating, and reminding children about these rules and doing so often is how they will learn. Learning to use a knife safely is just like teaching our children the safety rules about other life experiences. ![]() That way, they will already be “pros” when they are grown-ups. Putting your knife down shows me that you are able to follow the rules and are ready to do more cutting.” We want kids to know that although the plastic knives are safe to use, unlike “real” knives only grown-ups touch, they need to treat them like “real’ knives. When we are done cutting, we put our knives down flat on the mat (or cutting board). That means we only use knives to cut food. Tools, not Toys: Here is the language I use when explaining this #1 safely rule: Holding a knife in my hand I explain that “These knives are not toys.Here are some tips on teaching safety rules about knives: However, it is really important that we teach children that knives are TOOLS, NOT TOYS. ![]() It would take a lot of sawing back and forth across the skin to cause harm and most children would feel discomfort and stop way before that happens. The child-safe knives I recommend can’t cut little fingers, when used properly, but are generally able to get through more foods than you’d expect. Safety is always the #1 goal for our kids. Is it safe to teach my toddler to use a knife? So, if your child occasionally causes their fingers to become sore from biting their nails too short, the pain may motivate them to stop biting their nails in the future.Demonstrate then let kids safely explore. Keep in mind that natural consequences can be good teachers. The bad taste will at least make your child more conscious of the habit. (Be careful, though, as some have acetone or cayenne pepper in them, which can hurt quite a bit if your kid rubs their eyes.) Talk to your child’s physician or a pharmacist to learn about the safest options. These taste terrible or burn a little when your child bites their nails. Not only can it become parent-child bonding time, but the compliments they will get on their nails might discourage the biting habit. Your child might be excited to get their nails painted. If your child can't make it a whole day, you may need to break the day down into smaller chunks of time, like “before breakfast” or “during dinner.” Once they collect a specific amount of stickers, give a reward-like a trip to the park for five stickers. Establish a sticker chart and mark off every day that your child doesn’t bite their nails. This will help them to become more aware of when they are doing it-after all, so many of these nervous habits are done subconsciously. When you see your child nibbling, lightly touch them on the arm or use a code word that will alert them without announcing it to everyone else. ![]() Pick a subtle signal between the two of you.This allows them to focus on the texture and feel of what’s in their hands, rather than on the sound and feel of biting their nails. They might like to gently stroke a smooth worry stone that they can keep in their pocket, squeeze a small stress ball, or fidget with Silly Putty. Find something that will keep your child’s fingers active. Give your child something else to focus on.Just make sure you don’t substitute nail-biting for sugary snacks or you'll be trading one bad habit for another. For an older child, it might be regular snacking on crunchy celery and carrot sticks. Look for something healthy your child may be able to put into their mouth. Sometimes, a snagged nail is simply too much for a child to resist. Keep a small nail file or clippers handy. ![]() Take good care of the cuticles, too bacteria can get into the skin surrounding the nail and cause infection. Cutting your child’s nails lessens the surface area under the nails-and means less dirt, grime, and bacteria can collect under the nail and get into their mouth. ![]() ![]() Woodfel has several different facets of gameplay - exploration, crafting, building, combat and character customization. Factions - Gain reputation with Woodfel’s various factions to unlock their special items, or fight their toughest champions for rare drops.“By releasing Woodfel in Early Access, I will be able to engage with people interested in playing the game, and better learn which features and content they would like me to focus on.Procedural World - Every world of Woodfel is a unique wilderness, ready for you to explore and cultivate.Boss Battles - Gather your friends to take on the toughest baddies for some epic rewards.Building - Build all the fantastic structures you can imagine, wherever you want!.Combat - Learn various magical and physical abilities to use in combat and for traversing the world.Crafting & Farming - Gather raw materials from across the land or grow them to craft gear, building parts, and even airships!.Cross Platform Multiplayer - Play with your friends on PC & Mac.Will you help the Woodfolk to survive against their new foes, or take the side of the Demons and plunder the realm?

However this is another hard question to answer as I really want players to influence the direction of the game.” Ideally I would also be able to make a bigger feature of the airships which can be built, allowing them to be customized and have a combat role. “I would like at a minimum for the full version of Woodfel to contain a much more active world, with more event & boss-fight diversity, and a greater selection of vanity and buildable structures. I expect it will be in Early Access for at least the rest of 2021.” “It's hard to give an estimate for how long Woodfel will be in Early Access, as based on community input I might need to implement major features and content. ![]() Each of these facets can be built upon and it would be great to allow players to guide that, and contribute ideas for new equipment, building parts and boss fights.Īs a multiplayer game there are also networking and balance issues which are difficult to resolve without input from a larger player base.” “By releasing Woodfel in Early Access, I will be able to engage with people interested in playing the game, and better learn which features and content they would like me to focus on. ![]() ![]() ![]() There is a great aha moment when I finally recognize the character on my paper. Her appearance and personality have drawn much comparison between her and one of the preceding Disney Princesses, Ariel from The Little Mermaid (1989), by whom she was inspired. Rapunzel is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation. He is named for the playwright Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare’s great contemporary and rival. There are instances where you might have that aha moment, and there may actually be a lot of them. Chandler’s exemplar of that paradigmthe hero of half a dozen novels, beginning in 1939 with The Big Sleep is Philip Marlowe, private investigator. It may have been something that was a surprise to you, or it was something that you weren’t expecting. Aha moments are emotional and impactful, creating a powerful impression that keeps users coming back for more. So you recognize that an aha moment is when you realize something. In software, it’s the pivotal moment when a new user first realizes the value of your product and why they need it. The tenth Disney Princess, Rapunzel was officially inducted into the line-up on October 2, 2011, becoming the franchise's first computer-animated member and the first European princess in 20 years, the last being Belle from Beauty and the Beast (1991). The aha moment is a moment of sudden insight or discovery. ![]() The character was adapted into a less passive heroine for the film.Ĭritical reception of Rapunzel has been generally positive, with critics complimenting her spirited, lively personality and independence.

"Though you could be tempted with heroin, I wasn't. "What we were doing in those days were stolen pharmaceuticals," says DeVito. Some people I went to school with, you could tell they were dirt poor." Drugs were all around. "My parents worked their tails off, but we weren't the poorest people in town. In a tough neighbourhood in New Jersey, his father ran various businesses, including a sweetshop and a drycleaning firm. I've always been working on two or three things at a time whether it was in the early days, or whatever, I was always working on something."īorn into a family of second-generation Italian-Americans, DeVito loved movies but never dreamed that he would end up working in them. ![]() It was like, when friends of mine said, 'You're going to make a movie called what – Erin Brockovich? What the fuck is that? Nobody is going to see that movie!' I said, 'It's the woman's name, what are you going to do – change it?'"ĭeVito is starting to strike me as a personality who needs to have lots of things going on – is he someone who gets bored easily? He looks surprised. I hadn't even seen Reservoir Dogs when I bought his next project, which wasn't even written. Producing-wise, DeVito proved he had good instincts when he bought Quentin Tarantino's script for Pulp Fiction sight unseen. "He's a Republican and he's a governor – who needed that? " It cost me a lot of money in more ways than one, believe me. I was depressed when Arnie became governor for all those years. This time, Eddie Murphy is down to play their unlikely long-lost sibling. Now there is the prospect of Twins 2, which DeVito confirms they are discussing with the former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's also directed films such as Throw Momma From the Train, The War of the Roses, and Hoffa, while being a hugely successful producer, through his company, Jersey Films, of the likes of Pulp Fiction, Erin Brockovich, Matilda, Garden State and Get Shorty. Since leaving the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York in 1966, DeVito has played scores of film and TV roles, from his career-forging turn in Taxi to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, LA Confidential and Twins. He certainly cannot be doing it for the money. Photograph: Everett Collection / Rex Feature Saying that, he admits that taking on the role was daunting – his main theatre work was at the start of his career, before he moved to Los Angeles: "So, it was like, yeah, I loved the project, I loved the people involved, but I did think to myself, 'Are you out of your mind?'"ĭeVito with Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. "I just went to revisit and it's so beautiful, a wonderful stage. But no, it's a gorgeous theatre."ĭeVito says he was at the Savoy almost three decades ago to see a production of Michael Frayn's Noises Off with his wife, Rhea Perlman (who played Carla in Cheers). ![]() People would say to me, 'Why don't you do Broadway?' and my big joke was, nah, the dressing rooms are too small." He laughs: "Which certainly goes for the Savoy. ![]() "It's something that I always thought about doing. It's also DeVito's first time in a West End production. The timing for The Sunshine Boys chimed perfectly with the filming breaks for DeVito's TV show, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. He and Richard Griffiths play a vaudevillian double act reluctantly reuniting for a television special. In response to a question about younger actors, he muses: "Someone coming up who reminds me of me – you mean like Ashton Kutcher and Brad Pitt?"ĭeVito is in London, rehearsing for the Neil Simon play The Sunshine Boys at the Savoy theatre, directed by Thea Sharrock. He's fast-talking, bright and, as might be expected, imbued with natural comic delivery. During our conversation, there are points where you can see flashes of characters he's played: the theatrically belligerent Louie De Palma in his early hit sitcom, Taxi the tragicomic Penguin in Batman Returns the bumptious menace of Mr Wormwood in Matilda. ![]() ![]() ![]() Contestants, as stated above, will then be divided into two teams of six and compete in various investigation mission games in order to obtain clues about the Master Key owners, while each trying to individually win the votes from other players by claiming himself/herself as the Angel Master Key owner.

Add in calf raises if you’re already running too-and a dedicated calf workout to really give them some attention won’t hurt, either.Īdditionally, core and hip-stabilizing exercises improve your running alignment, and can help prevent the drop in your hips that can contribute to shin splints, Moran says. “That will make your muscles stronger, and also condition the bone underneath,” increasing your resistance to both shin splints and stress fractures. “If you’re looking to start a running program, one of the best things you can do for the month to six weeks beforehand is to start doing some calf raises,” Dr. What are the best ways to prevent shin splints? Change in shoe style: Switching from shoes with a high drop-the difference between how much foam sits under your heel and how much is under your toe-to a lower drop could amplify the strain on your shins, Moran says.Still, it’s possible that worn-out shoes could transfer more force up into your leg, contributing to your pain, she says. Worn-out shoes: Running shoes are commonly blamed for shin splints, but they’re rarely the sole cause of these or other running injuries, Moran says.There’s also research linking a slower cadence, or number of steps per minute, to shin splints. People with weak or unstable hips may also be at greater risk, since that can cause increased stress on the shin as their feet land across the midline of their body with their strides, Moran says. Inherent muscle and stride factors: Runners with flat feet, whose arches have already collapsed, may also be more predisposed.For instance, postpartum runners getting back into the sport after childbirth may develop shin splints even if they’ve never had them before, Dr. Break from training: Returning to high-impact activities after time off also increases your risk.Your leg muscles, especially in your calves, might not yet be strong enough to absorb the shock from the increased amount of pounding, Moran says. This can happen when you’re new to your activity, ramping up the amount or intensity of your training, or making another abrupt change (for instance, suddenly running all your miles on much harder terrain than you’re used to). Overuse: Shin splints are an overuse injury they occur when you increase the demands on your musculoskeletal system faster than your body can adapt to meet them.Knowing what’s involved in their development can play key roles in prevention: Why do I get shin splints so easily?Ī predilection for shin splints can occur due to your training, your gear, something more intrinsic about the way you move or are built-or a combination of several of these factors. That extra strain and traction causes swelling and pain in your periosteum, Dr. ![]() The tendon then pulls harder on the bone.
