It was a long-term deal so I don't think we have to confront that yet, but it's gone terrifically for us, actually. If you don't want to compete, don't come in. Can you talk about the synergy with the Whitney Houston movie — she was a Sony Music artist — or "Gran Turismo," a Playstation game? Do you wish HBO Max's "The Last of Us," which is also based on a Sony Playstation game, had been a movie? A lot of big movies come out of it.

☆ How the boom in sports documentaries on streaming is opening up a new path for athletes as content creators
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-02 | by ( Elaine Low | Ashley Rodriguez | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

A boom in sports documentaries has offered athletes more ways to be on screen and build their brands. Players and their agents are looking for hits like Netflix Formula 1 doc series "Drive to Survive." Being featured in a sports doc can dramatically raise an athlete's profile, giving them more fans and more branding power. Netflix's "Drive to Survive" was credited with doing wonders for F1 fandom, particularly stateside, where American interest has historically been scarce. "These people can go on the air and broadcast their own content and they can capture and keep their own content," said Octagon VP of content and development Jason Weichelt.

Willie Walsh, outspoken head of the world's biggest airline trade body, IATA, joined the European Union's top permanent transport official Henrik Hololei on stage at the Airline Economics conference in the world's aviation finance capital. But Walsh wanted to know what could be done to lift that closure, which threatens to penalise some Western airlines at the expense of Chinese and other carriers that continue to fly over Russia. He added there would be no "business as usual" if Russian airspace did reopen. Airlines accuse airports of overcharging carriers, while airports say they have to fund huge capital investments. "We allowed those who wanted to find the poster child for environmental damage to pick on aviation," he said.

☆ I'm a psychologist who helped cast 'Survivor' for years. I weeded out people who might be dangerous or unstable under pressure — here's what I looked for in contestants.

Survivor producer Mark Burnett paired with clinical psychologist Richard Levak to design a psychological screening program for "Survivor," and then most of the other reality TV shows too. That's where psychology got its toehold in reality TV. Through this, we get a really good sense for who they are. In my opinion, good 'Survivor' contestants have enough energy to be interesting and exciting on TVIt's not exciting to watch somebody who is fatigued and needs to lay down and rest the whole time. Being on any reality TV show is something you can't prepare for.

Currently, about 2% of its production is through additive manufacturing and more integration into the mix is in sight. 3-D printing is not for every job. Prices for industrial 3-D printing machines can vary from $25,000 to $500,000 and up to $1 million for huge systems. But stock market reception of 3-D printing as a pure-play investment theme has not been good in recent years. Pivoting to 3-D printing was the company's "Kodak moment," said owner and president Mark Lamoncha.

☆ Harvard psychologist to parents: Do these 7 things if you want to raise kids with flexible, resilient brains
▼ + stars: | 2020-12-08 | by ( Lisa Feldman Barrett | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

And it's up to parents to create a world — both physical and social — that is rich with wiring instructions. Based on years of research in neuroscience and psychology, here are seven parenting rules to help your kid build a brain that is flexible and therefore resilient. Likewise, parents can sculpt their child into something specific, say, a concert violinist. Research shows that, even when children are just a few months old and don’t understand the meanings of words, their brains still make use of them. When someone fails to tell the truth, don't say, "Sam is a liar," which is about the person.
