On one of my earliest visits to the Bay Area, where I now live, friends and coworkers urged me to check out the Mission District, a bustling Latino neighborhood famed for its oversized burritos, arts scene, and activism.

The word "hipster" may have originated in Brooklyn, but the Mission has co-opted it and taken it to a new level. The neighborhood is abundant in beards, denim shirts, artisanal cheeses, bicycles, and overpriced lattés.

The Mission hasn't always been such a spectacle. The tech boom of the 1990s brought an influx of tech workers to the Bay Area, which put a squeeze on the lower and middle-class communities already living here.

San Francisco also put provisions in place to stunt new housing developments, driving rent prices even higher. The Mission became one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the most expensive rental market in the US.

Take a look to see how the transformation is playing out.

The tech sector created more than 34,900 jobs in the Bay Area between spring 2015 and March. Many IT gurus turned to the Mission in search of cool, central housing.

Their arrival combined with the city's detrimental zoning laws is changing the fabric of the Mission, a vibrant Latino neighborhood. The hipsters have come.

I spent a day gallivanting between S. Van Ness Avenue and Dolores Street, talking to local business owners and witnessing the earthy-crunchy yuppie invasion firsthand.

Plenty of people find cold emails annoying, but it's actually one of the most tried-and-true sales tactics for generating new leads.

In fact, Dmitry Dragilev, founder of an outreach consulting service JustReachOut.io, claims he was able to help a startup called Polar get acquired by Google by helping them master the art of cold emailing.

Dragilev recently put together a bunch of cold email templates and resources on his own blog. 

We sorted through the list and narrowed it down to 9 of the most effective cold email templates that Dragilev says almost always guarantee a response — and perhaps a successful sales meeting.

Roughly a year after Tag Heuer’s chief criticized Apple’s first-generation smartwatch, the Swiss watchmaker finally introduced one of its own.

Tag Heuer announced its Connected Watch back in November, and it's been available around the globe for a few months now. It’s the result of a team effort from Tag Heuer, Intel, and Google. Intel provided the chips, Google provided the operating system (it runs on Android Wear), and Tag Heuer provided the hardware and signature look.

What you’re basically looking at is a $1,500 Android Wear smartwatch. It looks and acts similar to Motorola's Moto 360, though it’s notably six times more expensive. Google calls it"the first luxury watch powered by Android Wear."

So is it worth $1,500? It depends on who you ask — the company markets its products to wealthy individuals, and this could be a pretty good bargain for those already familiar with Tag Heuer. It is, after all, owned by LVMH, the French luxury goods conglomerate, and it comes with a nice perk: in two years, you can trade it in (plus pay an extra $1,500) to get a Tag Heuer Carrera watch, which isn't a smartwatch, but is often valued above or around $3,000. 

If you're considering buying this Connected Watch, it's best to know what you're getting into before you drop over a grand on Tag Heuer's creation. Here's what it's like to use the $1,500 Connected Watch.

The Tag Heuer Connected Watch is made from grade 2 titanium for a premium feel.

The button on the side showcases modern Tag Heuer iconography.

From the bottom, you can see it's powered by Intel — specifically, a 1.6 GHz dual-core processor. You also get a glimpse of the four-pin charging port from here.

From the biological side of things to how we're nurtured, a lot of what goes on in childhood influences how we turn out as adults.

And while there isn't a set recipe for ensuring achievement and happiness in adulthood, psychology research has pointed to a handful of factors from childhood that can predict success.

Here's some of what we know about how your childhood influences your success as an adult:

Drake Baer contributed to an earlier version of this article.

If your parents divorce when you're young, you're more likely to have poor relationships with them in adulthood.

If your parents split up when you were between 3 and 5, you'll probably have an insecure relationship with them when you're an adult, especially in the case of fathers, according to a University of Illinois study. However, it doesn't predict insecure romantic relationships. 

Your social skills as a kindergartner can determine if you go to college or get a job.

Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation between their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later.

The 20-year study showed that socially competent children who could cooperate with their peers without prompting, be helpful to others, understand their feelings, and resolve problems on their own were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by age 25 than those with limited social skills.

Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested, binge drinking, and applying for public housing.

"This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future,"Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, said in a release.

"From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted." 

If you're a girl and your mom works, you're more likely to become the boss and make more money.

According to research from Harvard Business School, there are significant benefits for children growing up with mothers who work outside the home.

The study found that daughters of working mothers went to school longer, were more likely to have a job in a supervisory role, and had 23% more income compared with their peers who were raised by stay-at-home mothers.

The sons of working mothers also tended to pitch in more on household chores and childcare, the study found — they spent seven and a half more hours a week on childcare and 25 more minutes on housework.

"Role modeling is a way of signaling what's appropriate in terms of how you behave, what you do, the activities you engage in, and what you believe," the study's lead author, Harvard Business School professor Kathleen L. McGinn, told Business Insider.

"There are very few things, that we know of, that have such a clear effect on gender inequality as being raised by a working mother,"she told Working Knowledge.

People tend to join Costco or Sam’s Club to save money on bulk sizes of products they would be buying anyway.

But many warehouse club shoppers repeatedly find themselves splurging on something out of the ordinary, maybe justifying the purchase by telling themselves it’s a deal. Costco, in particular, is known for its "treasure hunt" strategy of tempting customers with a constant rotation of nonessential items around every corner.

Still, many of those purchases could be considered worthy, given warehouse club savings. Here are 10 things consumers don't have to feel too guilty about putting in their oversize carts.

Designer duds

Most people head to Costco thinking more about bulk garbage bags than high fashion, but a recent visit turned up Tommy Hilfiger men's button-down dress shirts for $20, and Calvin Klein women’s knit tops for $15 and denim shorts for $18. This past winter, Hunter boots were selling for $80 online. The famous rubber Wellingtons are normally around $140.

Camera bundle

Looking at the camera bundles at Sam’s Club or Costco, it’s tempting to leave behind the limitations of smartphone cameras and decide to get real about photography. A top-reviewed Nikon D3300 would cost about $550 elsewhere, but Sam’s Club throws in a zoom lens in addition to the standard lens, as well as a carrying case and a 32GB memory card for $700. Even on Amazon, a similar bundle doesn't include the memory card.

Wine

Wine is often a good deal at Costco and Sam’s Club. Some high-end wines are distributed under warehouse club labels for much lower prices when a vintner has a surplus — and why should a wine lover pass up a great find when it presents itself?

The flow of fine wines at Costco has been written about in such places as The Wall Street Journal and Money magazine, and there’s an independent blog devoted to the amazing stuff that pops up. CostcoWineBlog.com recently featured a 2013 Kirkland Signature Series Oakville cabernet sauvignon for $19 — not a cheap wine, but worth twice the price, the reviewer says.

Pizza was the first food to go online. The classic phone orders were replaced by fancy "watch as it cooks" widgets. Now Dominoes will automatically place your last order if you even open its app. 

Yet, pizza isn't the only delivery food, and there's companies warring over the rest of the market. 

Grubhub remains the largest incumbent in the space, but startups from Silicon Valley and heavyweights like Uber and Amazon are now entering the food space too. 

Morgan Stanley Research recently published a report that breaks down how big GrubHub's lead is on the rest of the competition — and where upstarts like Amazon and Uber could quickly catch up.

"Online food delivery is still in its nascency as, by our math, only 5% (or $10B) of the ~$210B core addressable restaurant spend is done through online delivery, and more than half of that is pizza," Morgan Stanley analysts noted.

Here's why so many big companies are salivating over the opportunity:

SEE ALSO: Uber just introduced a whole new way to take a ride

It's a competitive industry, but it's also still early. Some restaurants, like Pizza Hut, do their own delivery. For others, though, there's a competition about who delivers the food in the end.

Pizza's early lead for online means it still dominates ordering today, Morgan Stanley says. GrubHub's close behind it, but a lot of the Silicon Valley startups still lag behind. Amazon doesn't even crack into the top of the charts.

Put another way, GrubHub's 23% market share still dwarfs Uber's 0% or Postmates' 2%.

This weekend, Adland once again descends on the south of France for the annual Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity: A week-long event that brings together the industry's movers and shakers and hands out awards for creative excellence.

The usual advertising celebrities, like WPP CEO Sir Martin Sorrell and Publicis boss Maurice Lévy, will be joined on the main stages by real celebrities: Usher, Gwyneth Paltrow, Channing Tatum, and even Iggy Pop.

We asked a number of seasoned Cannes veterans to give their tips about what goes on away from the main stages, the obvious parties, and the famous Carlton Hotel.

We've compiled suggestions given to us last year with some new hangouts and bashes for 2016.

Thomas Crampton, Social@Ogilvy global managing director: "While the short, drunk, and dangerous stumble between the Carlton Terrace, and The Gutter Bar may have a reputation for being an insider’s zone, the real deals take place in more sober, stunning, and exclusive circumstances, such as yachts in the harbor or over lunch at Eden-Roc restaurant in Antibes.|"

Chris Dobson, CEO at The Exchange Lab: "For a break from the hustle of the festival, take a trip to the small, leafy island of Ile Saint-Honorat. Lying around a mile off shore, the island is home to 30 wine and honey making Cistercian monks, along with their beautiful church and monastery, Lérins Abbey. Get there in style by private yacht or catch a local ferry service from Cannes. You won’t regret it.”

Alex Rahaman, VP of programmatic at Sizmek: "If the nonstop networking and free flowing rosé get too much, escape the Croisette madness for a few hours at L’Ecrin Plage, a beautiful beach, bar and restaurant just past Baoli, but less flashy with a chilled vibe. For early drinks explore the medieval, cobbled streets of ‘Le Suquet’ or ‘Vieil Antibes’, where you’ll find plenty of pretty bars to sit and watch the sunset. And if you’re lucky enough to board a friendly yacht, ask them to head to the charming Ile Sainte-Marguerite - stop for lunch at rustic al fresco restaurant La Guerite, and let its talented Greek chef wow you with his sumptuous Mediterranean cuisine."

Making time for a solid arm workout isn't always easy, especially if you're in need of weights and other equipment.

But when you're on the road or have a few minutes to spare between events, it can be nice to have some quick, virtually equipment-free arm workouts up your sleeve.

To help us out, we asked New York University physical-therapy professor Marilyn Moffat, who also wrote the book "Age Defying Fitness," for some of her favorite arm workouts that don't require weights.

Here are the nine she gave us, including modifications to help you personalize your workout. Feel free to mix and match, or just do one exercise on its own. Repeat or hold each exercise until it gets to be too much, building up at your own pace. And remember: If you have any unusual pain or problems with the exercises, stop doing them and consult a physical therapist.

Exercise #1: The dreaded plank. Keeping your arms directly under your shoulders, hold this pose for at least 30 seconds, until it gets to be too much.

Something to keep in mind while in these poses: To better distribute your weight, spread your fingers as wide as possible. You should be able to feel the difference along your arms.

For a modification, try putting your forearms on the ground. You'll still feel the stretch along your arms (not to mention torso and legs).

The first ever supercar, the Lamborghini Miura, celebrated its 50th birthday this year.

When it was first introduced in 1966, the car shocked the automotive world, and not just for its striking good looks.

Underneath the beautiful, Marcello Gandini-sculpted bodywork is a design that was then completely new to road cars and one that would initiate the entire concept of the modern "supercar"— the kind of dream machines that to this day comprise the performance automobile elite.

SEE ALSO: These are the best automobiles Jerry Seinfeld has picked for 'Comedians in Cars'

Despite being the car that would shape his company's entire future, founder Ferruccio Lamborghini never actually wanted to build the Miura. Alongside his successful farm tractor business, the few cars that Lamborghini had built so far were front-engined grand tourers like the ones Ferrari were selling. But three of his best engineers had a better idea.

The story goes that the engineers worked on the design at night in their own free time, hoping to first show Mr. Lamborghini that the concept was financially possible before he ever had the chance to say no.

In automotive engineering terms, the 'P400' concept, which would become the Miura, was a radical idea. The engine would be mounted in the middle of the car, a proven idea in racing cars but something that had never before been done in a road-going sports car. To keep things compact, the long V12 engine was positioned sideways, or transversely, and the gearbox and differential were combined into a single casing.

To be fair, both of those ideas were borrowed by a more humble car: the British-made Mini. But in the Miura, they meant the car could be shorter and therefore sportier, while putting the heavy engine in the middle provided exceptional balance. 

Lamborghini brought the bare chassis and drivetrain to the Turin auto show in 1965, and though all customers had seen was the skeleton of a potential (though clearly innovative) car, orders flooded in.

The actual chassis that went to Turin — the very genesis of the supercar — was rediscovered in 2008 on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, and by the last account it is undergoing restoration work in the United States. It is an essential object in the history of automobiles.

Mr. Lamborghini would name the final car the Miura, after a special type of bull bred in Spain for fighting. The car was the first Lamborghini to wear the now iconic badge, and every Lamborghini road car that followed the Miura was also named for a fighting bull.

Kroger has some of the best bargains in the business. But, savvy shoppers know that there are ways to save even more at the grocery chain. 

Even as Kroger increases its organic offerings, Kroger is working to maintain its position as a value-centric retail chain. The company has invested $3.6 billion in beating out the competition when it comes to prices, Kroger said in an earnings call on Thursday.

While the company is investing to keep price low for all shoppers, there are some secrets to saving more money than the average customer. 

Here's how to get the most out of every Kroger shopping trip.

SEE ALSO: 16 shopping tips to save big at Costco

Sign up for a digital account

Linking a digital account to a Shopper's Card (Kroger's loyalty card) means you can load online coupons on the card, instead of bringing your clipped coupons to the store. The digital account also lets you keep track of your fuel points, shopping lists, and prescriptions, so it's a convenient (and free) way to shop more efficiently.

Go online on Fridays

Every Friday, shoppers with Kroger.com accounts can visit the Free Friday Download website to get a coupon for a free item. Past offers have included bread, yogurt, pet food, and candy, reports the Krazy Coupon Lady.

While you can only claim the coupon on Friday, you can use it while shopping any time for the next two weeks.

Keep track of your fuel points

For every $1 customers with Shopper's Cards spend at Kroger, they earn 1 fuel point. One hundred fuel point is equal to 10 cents off each gallon of gas.

Be sure to check your current fuel point count, which resets every month, at the bottom of your receipt or online, so you can be strategic in your fuel point strategy — if you have 1,000 fuel points, and you're filling up your tank with 35 gallons of gas (the limit for a fuel points fill-up), you can save $35.

There's evidence that tripping on magic mushrooms could actually free the mind.

Several small studies have linked the psychoactive ingredient in shrooms (which are illegal) with several purported health benefits, including the potential to help relieve anxiety and depression.

But, as with any drug, shrooms also come with risks. And because they're classified as Schedule 1— meaning they have "no accepted medical use"— it's been pretty tough for scientists to tease out exactly what they can and can't do.

Here are a few of the ways we know shrooms can affect your brain and body:

SEE ALSO: What marijuana does to your body and brain

Shrooms can make you feel good.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, magic mushrooms can lead to feelings of relaxation that are similar to the effects of low doses of marijuana.

Like other hallucinogenic drugs, such as LSD or peyote, shrooms are thought to produce most of their effects by acting on neural highways in the brain that use the neurotransmitter serotonin, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. More specifically, magic mushrooms affect the brain's prefrontal cortex, part of the brain that regulates abstract thinking, thought analysis, and plays a key role in mood and perception. 

They can also make you hallucinate.

Many users describe things like seeing sounds or hearing colors. A 2014 study was one of the first to attribute this effect to the way psilocybin affects communication across brain networks.

In people injected with 2 milligrams of the drug, researchers saw new, stronger activity across several regions of the brain that normally rarely or never engage in such "cross-talk." To visualize what they were seeing in the people given the drug (as opposed to those given a placebo), the researchers created the representation above.

These hallucinations may be key to understanding how shrooms could help ease depression.

Imperial College London neuroscientist David Nutt, who authored a 2012 study on psilocybin, also found changes in the brain activity patterns of people on the drug. While some areas became more pronounced, others were muted — including in a region of the brain thought to play a role in maintaining our sense of self.

In depressed people, Nutt believes, the connections between brain circuits in this sense-of-self region are too strong. "People who get into depressive thinking, their brains are overconnected," Nutt told Psychology Today. But loosening those connections and creating new ones, the thinking goes, could provide intense relief.

We all strive to be memorable. But leaving a lasting impression on someone we've just met isn't always easy.

It also isn't impossible.

As it turns out, with the right words and actions almost anyone can create a captivating presence.

To help you figure out how to do this, we looked at the answers posted on Quora in response to the question, "How do I become more memorable when meeting someone for the first time?" 

Here were some of our favorite tips for making yourself memorable when you first meet someone new:

DON'T MISS: The 27 jobs that are most damaging to your health

1. Put on your talking hat

It's easy to stand there and let other people carry on the conversation, but you will never stick out in people's minds if you just listen, writes Julian Reisinger, dating expert and founder of Lovelifesolved.com.

Don't let the fear of looking like a fool keep you from speaking up and asking questions, telling your own stories, and sharing your own opinions. Go for it, and make a lasting impression. 

2. Be blunt, slightly controversial, and completely honest

Most people avoid saying anything controversial — especially when meeting someone for the first time — because they want to play it safe to ensure everyone likes them.

But if you really want to be memorable, you may want to make a statement ... without insulting anyone or saying something offensive, of course.

"People remember extremes, not mediocrity," writes Reisinger.

He recommends speaking up and stating your opinion firmly and clearly, even if it makes some people slightly uncomfortable or mad. This will make you more interesting — and thus more memorable.

3. Be a little bit unusual

Breaking out of the cultural norm is an easy way to stick out, Reisinger writes, but try to stick out in a positive way. 

For example, he suggests coming up with humorous and unusual answers to the typical introductory questions such as, "How are you?" or "What do you do?"

While coming up with scripted answers may seem like a pain, he points out that you will have to answer these questions thousands of times throughout your life anyway, so it's well worth the effort.

With summer comes the possibility for myriad outdoor activities, including music festivals. 

Every season, people flood to these open grassy areas, ready to spend a day or an entire weekend enjoying music with friends and a bunch of other music lovers.

If you want to produce your best work, you'll need a well thought out work area to match. Here are some suggestions for desk items that will keep you well organized and tidy.

A reliable USB hub

With companies like Apple ditching USB ports, having a USB hub is becoming more and more necessary, especially if you have a lot of peripherals you need to fit in one or two ports.

A well-designed 4-port hub, like this one from Anker, runs for just under $10. 

A set of good headphones

For quiet office environments, you'll need a reliable set of headphones.

Audio Technica's M40x headphones have a detachable and replaceable cable and decent sound quality. At $90, they're a good investment if you're preparing for Apple's rumored onslaught against the 3.5mm headphone jack. 

Cable management

Cables are long, messy, and hard to manage. Bundling them all up under one massive sleeve, like this one from Omnimount, will keep them well managed and give you peace of mind knowing you're less likely to trip on one.

Don't waste time, because that's "the stuff life is made of."

It was good advice when Ben Franklin said it, and it's good advice now, no matter your age.

But your 20s are a particularly crucial time in life. Many call these the "formative" years, and the habits you form can carry you through the rest of your life.

So what's the best way to spend this time?

We sifted through a number of Quora threads and TED talks to find out.

Work on important life skills

There are a number of life skills people need to master, and your 20s is the time to start practicing. Without the pressure of parents or school to motivate you, you'll need to exercise discipline and motivate yourself to learn the essentials.

These skills can range from patience and dealing with rejection to living within your means and good table manners.

Ask yourself daily questions

Benjamin Franklin began and ended each day with a question: "What good shall I do this day?" in the morning, and "What good have I done this day?" in the evening.

In fact, many great thinkers embraced the idea of constantly questioning things.

As Albert Einstein reportedly said, "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."

Of course, getting into the habit of self-reflection is easier said than done, as we often prefer to avoid asking ourselves the tough questions. As philosopher and psychologist John Dewey explained in his 1910 book, "How We Think," reflective thinking involves overcoming our predisposition to accept things at face value and the willingness to endure mental unrest.

But enduring this discomfort is well worth the effort, as it can result in the confidence boost necessary to perform better in our work and daily lives.

Questions could include Steve Jobs' "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?"Quora user Michael Hopkins' "How are you doing?" and Quora user Soham Banerjee's "Why so serious?" 

Read

"There is nothing that will help you more than reading,"says Deepak Mehta.

He suggests a wide variety of books, from young-adult fiction and law to Dickens and Tzu, to learn more about contrasting viewpoints. "Do not be afraid of coming across a convincing viewpoint that is totally antithetical to yours," he says.

Reading is also a great way to exercise your mind, says Jereme Allison, because it activates almost all areas of it. "The mind is a muscle. If you don't use it, you lose it," he says.

The ESPN documentary "O.J.: Made in America" is full of interesting behind-the-scenes insight on O.J. Simpson's incredible rise to fame and sudden infamy. 

One of the most reveling sections of the documentary is a two-minute breakdown in part four about how Simpson generated money while in prison during his trial for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman.

In a recording that plays during this section of the documentary, an interviewer asks Simpson if he ever thought what would happen under the same circumstances if he was just a middle-class guy instead of a rich, ex-NFL star.

"I would have no chance," Simpson said.

As it turns out, Simpson was allowed to keep generating memorabilia during his trial, which allowed to afford the "Dream Team" of lawyers — which the doc notes cost him an estimated $50,000 a day.

Here's how he did it.

The entire "O.J.: Made In America" documentary is available on the Watch ESPN app and iTunes.

While Simpson was awaiting trial, as well as during it, he was allowed to continue generating income for himself, mainly through memorabilia.

Simpson's former agent, Mike Gilbert, said in the doc that by the third day Simpson was in prison, he got his reps to start getting together a marketing and merchandising plan to generate a lot of money.

Memorabilia dealer Bruce Fromong explained that Simpson would be given numbers to sign his autograph to in his jail cell.

"Warcraft's" paltry domestic box office return of $24 million over its opening weekend would lead you to believe that the Duncan Jones helmed blockbuster was the latest in a long line of video-game adaptations to have faltered, but that only tells 1/16th of the story. Because while "Warcraft" has floundered in the US, it has grossed $280.5 million internationally, and in China alone it has brought in $156.8 million in just five days. "Warcraft" is now even expected to seriously challenge the $390 million amassed by "Furious 7" in the territory, which made it the highest grossing Hollywood movie ever in China.

China has firmly become a key market for Hollywood studios. Currently it's the second largest box office in the world, but it's expected that the country's revenue will surpass that of the United States at some point in 2017 to make it numero uno. Still, that doesn't mean that their audiences actually have good taste. Because several Hollywood blockbusters that were critically savaged and rejected by US audiences have prospered amongst the nation's 1.3 million inhabitants, and we've gathered up the heavy hitters.

SEE ALSO: HOLLYWOOD'S BIG PROBLEM: Here are the sequels that are bombing this year

"Warcraft"

U.S. Box Office Total: $24.3 million

China Box Office Total: $156 million

Rotten Tomato Score: 29%

"Warcraft's" success in China shouldn't come as much of a surprise. While American audiences were nonplussed by its release, the fact that half of "Warcraft's" five million players were based in China meant that it was always going to garner interest. Especially since the majority of these players are aged between 18-35, a demographic that usually has plenty of money to spend especially on such cinematic frivolities. Its release was also timed to coincide with the Dragon Boat Festival, which is a public holiday held in China.

"Transformers: Age Of Extinction"

U.S. Box Office Total: $245 million

China Box Office Total: $320 million

Rotten Tomato Score: 18%

The "Transformers" franchise has always appealed to Chinese audiences. Over the course of four films, its China box office has made up $588.1 million of its $3.7 billion total. With "Age Of Extinction," Paramount firmly aimed the film towards China. Not only did they set the final third of it in the country and Hong Kong (shooting some sequences there but Chicago and Detroit were mostly used as stand-ins, respectively), but Olympic wrestler Zou Shiming, singer and actor Han Geng and Li Bingbing were added to the cast, too. Plus, there was Chinese product placement, most laughably when Mark Wahlbeg tried to use a China Construction Bank ATM in Texas, while the Communist regime's officials are shown to be much more competent than their American counterparts, too.

"Terminator Genisys"

U.S. Box Office Total: $89 million

China Box Office Total: $113 million

Rotten Tomato Score: 26%

Most moviegoers were disappointed with the fourth installment to the "Terminator" franchise, which was released last summer to paltry domestic numbers. However, its international figures, especially in China, still means there is life in the franchise, yet. The appeal of both the "Terminator" brand, as well as the popularity of a returning Arnold Schwarzenegger, were seen as the biggest reasons for "Genisys'" triumph. "Genisys'" receipts were also boosted because it was the first film to be released following China's two-month "blackout period," which sees foreign films banned to assist local releases.

If you've decided to take advantage of warm and sunny weather by getting outside and getting in shape, good for you.

And if you've decided to sign up for some sort of race to do so — a triathlon, a 10K, a mud-and-obstacle run, or something else fun — even better.

Training for a competition is an excellent way to stay motivated.

But especially if it's your first time preparing for a physical challenge you're going to have to work your way up to, there are going to be a few surprises along the way.

Tech Insider spoke with Dan Arnett, a professional triathlon coach, to see what surprises people might encounter while training for a race. While we spoke about triathlon specifically, these answers apply to just about any serious training program.

1. "You do not need a coach," says Arnett.

If you've just signed up for a competitive event, especially something like a triathlon, you may ask yourself if you need a professional coach to get you going.

But Arnett says you really don't need to pay a professional if you're just getting started. What you need instead is a good training plan — and you can usually find one for free online. 

Save your money and focus on having fun and finishing your first couple of races. If you want to get real serious after that, look into a coach.

2. You'll gain weight.

With daily (or almost-daily) workouts, those extra pounds should just melt off, right?

Not exactly. Arnett says most people, men especially, put on some weight initially. This happens quickly too, within the first two to four weeks.

Your body adds muscle mass at the start, which makes you weigh more, even if you lose that extra flab around the waist. If you've got significant weight to lose it should start to come off eventually, but don't look for an immediate decrease on the scale, especially if you haven't also altered your diet.

Focus on how your clothes fit instead, says Arnett.

3. You can't actually eat whatever you want — sorry.

It's easy to view the fact that you're burning a few hundred more calories a day as a license to indulge in all the cheeseburgers and ice cream you want.

But most of us can't eat whatever we want all the time even if we are working out. We usually are getting basically enough calories anyway. (Those training for an ultra race like an Ironman may actually need some additional calories, but they still need to eat healthy — and the person getting started with training isn't starting at that level or even close to it.)

"People expect to be able to change their diet" and eat more, says Arnett. But for most people, there's no need to suddenly start carbo-loading. Go ahead and enjoy the occasional cheeseburger or ice cream — but keep it occasional.

Millennials are the coolest kids on the consumer block. Companies are trampling over each other in the race to figure out what they want. And that includes TV networks.

In May, The CW announced that it was creating a digital channel called CW Good. It's meant to tap into the millennial generation's desire for content around social causes. CW Good will feature the causes its stars and fans support, as well as original series meant to inspire.

The CW, which targets a younger audience than the other broadcast networks, has long used its digital arm to experiment with content. But could it already be on the wrong track with CW Good?

"Anybody who's going to lean into [the social causes], saying it's good for you, are not going to win," Linda Ong, CEO and founder of the cultural research and branding company TruthCo., told Business Insider.

Ong — who said The CW is a TruthCo. client, though her company wasn't part of developing CW Good — argues that it's too early to judge how effective the digital platform will be with millennials.

"It will all depend on the execution," she said.

Ong told Business Insider what TV shows millennials are most engaged with, according to TruthCo.'s brand analysis:

Millennials, like all of us, are making their way through a 'fire hose of content.'

Millennials can seem awfully abstract, but it's worth noting that they're not actually so young, nor are they so separated from other generations.

Under the framework established by generation researchers Neil Howe and William Strauss, millennials were born between 1982 and 2004. So currently, the bulk of millennials are older than age 20 to about 34 years old.

"We need to stop talking about millennials like Donald Trump speaks about Mexicans," Ong said. "They're not a horrible, invading species. They're people, and they're very influential in our culture. Millennial ideas radiate to everybody. There are more non-millennials than millennials on Facebook now."

And their TV viewing behaviors and tastes can align with older generations in that they are looking for ways to filter through the incredible amount of content that's available; at least 400 scripted shows were on TV in 2015.

"Right now, there is an abundance, a fire hose of content, and consumers have to use very different kinds of filters to determine what it is they’re actually going to invest their time in," Ong said.

Millennials want entertaining content that also changes the world.

It used to be about quality entertainment and social traction, but now, in the golden age of TV, there's too much quality entertainment for that to be an effective filter. The next filter has to do with how we believe and how we were raised.

"Some of the basic underpinning of the millennial culture was that everybody got a trophy," Ong said. "We can laugh at that, but they were brought up valuing equality. They were raised with a sense of fairness, and that’s what they’re trying to enact now. Everything they do has to align with those values."

And so one way for content creators to capture millennial audiences is to lead with quality entertainment that has an underlying social element to it.

"I think what we’re starting to see are shows like ‘Making a Murderer’ and ‘American Crime’ springing from an idea that program or content with social value can be entertaining," Ong said. "But now, content comes from a place where the very act of investing your time to watch it helps make the world a better place because you become more aware of things or even sometimes you can act on things."

Ong and her team put together a list of shows that best exemplify what millennials would invest their time in.

Here are the TV shows that most reflect millennial values according to their research:

Cannabis is a serious business. 

Currently, medical marijuana is legal in 25 states, with several more considering bills. The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan research group, estimates that it's a $45 billion industry in the US alone. 

This year, the International Cannabis Association hosted the second-annual Cannabis World Congress and Business Exposition in New York City, where cannabis businesses from around the world can network, show off their products, and attend seminars and panel discussions about the burgeoning industry.

Take a look at what went down inside the three-day conference.

The event took place at the Jacob K. Javits convention center in midtown Manhattan. Huge signs with the words "Cannabis means businesses" showed the attendees they were in the right place.

A range of products made from cannabis plants were scattered across the exposition floor. Businesses that directly served the marijuana industry — everything from grow lights to product packaging and financial services — also set up shop.

Because recreational marijuana remains illegal in New York State, none of the products on the expo floor contained THC, a psychoactive ingredient in the plant. Instead, products were made from other chemical extracts, like cannabidiol, also known as CBD. It's often used for both therapeutic and medicinal purposes but doesn't actually get people high. Under certain restrictions, CBD is legal in all 50 states.
