Play and Repeat: Why We Watch the Same Shows Over and Over (Psychology Today)

Rewatching a movie, series or single episode enhances our well-being. Repeated viewing fulfills emotional needs, gives us comfort, provides a sense of ...

In fact, the unfolding scenes can seem like music, with familiar melodies, engaging rhythms, and appealing harmonies, capable of giving us the cognitive and emotional responses we want and expect. Many of us listen to the same songs over and over without questioning ourselves or the reasons for doing so. And now, when I watch it–after nearly two decades of wine collecting–I understand more about the details of wine and changes in myself while still enjoying the story. In addition, we may also connect with communities of people who watch the same show. Once we are familiar with the overall plot and the key scenes, we can detect and appreciate the details and subtleties of personal interactions we overlooked earlier. And this feeling of directing the people and their actions can bring about abundant satisfaction. With shows we enjoy, repetition is the mother of affection. We get involved in the movie while remembering our lives associated with that movie. We get obvious constancy, with a little something new–due to the selectivity of We have the same experience when listening to radio stations that play songs from a particular decade. When rewatching familiar shows, we receive the stories and emotions we expect. We see novel locations, learn unfamiliar perspectives, and vicariously experience the lives of other people.

Greece: Migrant Rescue Trial to Begin (Human Rights Watch)

Greek prosecutors should request the acquittal of humanitarians on trial for search-and-rescue efforts that are protected under international human rights ...

The Greek authorities have [unlawfully pushed back](https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/07/08/european-court-slams-greece-over-deadly-migrant-pushback) thousands of would-be asylum seekers and migrants to Turkey from the Aegean Sea. [her preliminary findings](https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ohchr.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2F2022-06%2FEOM-Statement-Greece-SR-Defenders.docx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK) at the end of a 10-day mission in Greece, described an environment of fear and insecurity for human rights defenders in the country, particularly those defending the rights of migrants. The case was referred to the Appeals Court of the Northern Aegean, also on Lesbos. The espionage charge is based on humanitarians’ efforts to identify migrant boats in distress, including by monitoring Greek Coast Guard and Frontex radio channels and vessels. A separate felony case misrepresents the search-and-rescue group’s humanitarian operations as human smuggling by a criminal organization. The report also cites communications between humanitarians that police surveilled on dates outside the time frame of their warrant. But the report does not include any evidence that they tried to enter restricted areas. (Athens) – Greek prosecutors should request the acquittal of humanitarians on trial for search-and-rescue efforts that are protected under international human rights law and Greek law, Human Rights Watch said today. The maximum prison sentence that can be served for convictions on misdemeanor charges is eight years. It is not clear if she will be allowed to enter for the trial on January 10, her lawyers said. The indictments are missing pages and were not translated for defendants who do not know Greek into a language they understand. When the engine failed, she and her younger sister Yusra, who swam for the Refugee team at the 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympics, helped save others on board by swimming and keeping the boat afloat.

[sustainability](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/tags/sustainability) is a loaded word.

Blancpain also partners with the Ocean Photography Awards and Festisub (the Swiss festival of underwater images, in no way NSFW). However, with a [sustainability revolution](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/watches/gallery/best-sustainable-watches) happening throughout the luxury world, many brands are committed to making a [positive impact](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/politics/article/50-most-influential-britain-2020) on the planet.
