The Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus suckleyi) is a common species of the Squalidae (dogfish) family of sharks and are among the most abundant species of sharks in the world. This species is closely related to Squalus acanthias and for many years they were treated as a single species. Recent research, using meristic, morphological and molecular data led to the resurrection of Pacific Spiny Dogfish as a separate species. The American Fisheries Society recommends the common name "Pacific Spiny Dogfish" for Squalus suckleyi over alternatives such as "Spotted Spiny Dogfish" and "North Pacific Spiny Dogfish" and "Spiny Dogfish" for Squalus acanthias.

The maximum length of a Pacific dogfish can be , and they can live up to 100 years. Squalus suckleyi has a slower growth rate, larger maximum size, and later maturity compared to Squalus acanthias species. The slower growth rate and time of maturity could be related to the colder temperatures these sharks face. Pacific spiny dogfish prefer to be in temperatures ranging from . Dogfish are found all over the world, but the Pacific spiny dogfish are found mostly in the North Pacific Ocean. These areas range from Korea to Japan and Russia, as well as the gulf of Alaska down to Baja, California. They are known to be piscivores, eating other fish. Additionally, they are known to consume octopus, squid, and crustaceans.

Squalus suckleyi have a slow reproduction rate compared to other sharks, with their gestation period being roughly around two years. This makes the Pacific dogfish more vulnerable to threats since they take longer to reproduce.

Anatomy

Size, growth, and age
The Pacific spiny dogfish are small and skinny members of the family Squalidae. Throughout the entire Pacific Ocean, male and female dogfish measure up to be around 100 to 130 centimeters. Female Pacific dogfish reach a weight of 15 to 20 pounds by maturity, while the males tend to be much smaller in weight. The average maturation of the sharks normally take up to around 25 years. They can even live to the age of 100 years old. This makes the Northeast Pacific spiny dogfish the longest living out of all dogfish.

Appearance

Its distinctive snout, large eyes, and flattened head are just a few of the physical characteristics that give the Pacific spiny dogfish its distinctive look. The dogfish has a cylindrical shaped body. This type of shark also contains a unique body coloring. The top half of the shark has a gray color with scattered white spots while the bottom half has a white/light gray color. The scales of the dogfish is composed of the same material of shark teeth called dermal denticles, making the skin very hard and durable. The skin of the sharks used to be used as sandpaper once dried to do woodwork or even be used as leather, once the denticles are removed. Lastly, the Pacific spiny dogfish has a set of teeth specialized for grinding instead of tearing by the teeth being flat with sharp edges. If any of the teeth are worn down or broken, new teeth replace them from the two rows that are not being used to prey on other animals.

Spines and fins
Another specific characteristic of this type of shark is the structure of their fins. Although the Pacific spiny dogfish does not have an anal fin, they have a special fin instead. Relating to their name, the spiny dogfish have two spines that are in front of each dorsal fin. The use of two spines on the outer body have been proven for the use of protection against enemies such as other sharks, humans, and even whales. The two fins are known for their venomous nature, although the nature of the venom has not been well studied. This is where the name "Spiny" comes into play due to the thorn-like spines that are in front of each dorsal fin. The shark forms into a curled up ball and then attacks its predators.
Another feature of the dorsal spines is annuli on the enamel that can be used to estimate age. The dorsal fins also give the shark advantages. The first dorsal fin helps the spiny dogfish maintain a stable body position while swimming while the second aids in generating thrust. The caudal fin is larger than normal, which helps the sharks maneuver through the water quickly and efficiently.

Gills
The Pacific spiny dogfish has a unique system of ventilation. This type of dogfish has five gills on each side of their heads, but do not have gill covers like bony fish. The shark is able to breathe with these gills by swimming or staying in a current. The Pacific spiny dogfish also has a special feature called a spiracle. These are gills that are behind the eyes of the shark that give oxygen to the eyes and brain. It is also used to breathe while resting or eating. The breathing of the dogfish happens as a two step process. First, the dogfish has water enter its mouth and exit through the parabranchial cavity, which then goes out through the five gill slits. The first three gill slits are primarily used for suction action. The fourth gill slit has the same purpose, but with a weaker activity. Finally, the fifth gill slit has water escaping while the Pacific spiny dogfish feeds on its prey.

Habitat

Location
Dogfish in general live in three main areas of the ocean: the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian ocean. While dogfish can be found all around the world, this specific type of spiny dogfish can be found in the Pacific Ocean. Spiny dogfish in the northern Pacific Ocean have recently been reevaluated and found to constitute a separate species, now known as the Pacific spiny dogfish.

Natural habitat
The Pacific dogfish's habitat consists of bays, including inshore and offshore waters. Female dogfish are usually seen in inshore waters while smalls pups are seen maneuvering in offshore waters. These animals are usually spotted at the bottom of the continental shelf at the bottom of the sea. The Pacific dogfish prefers to live mainly in saltwater, but they can live in and tolerate brackish water (a mix of salt and fresh water).

Migration
Migratory patterns of Pacific spiny dogfish are not well understood. Analyses of tagged dogfish have shown a seasonal north-south migration along the west coast of the United States and Canada as well as a seasonal pattern of dogfish tagged in the inside waters of the Puget Sound repeatedly leaving that area for outside coastal waters in the summer.

Tagged dogfish released in Canadian waters off British Columbia were most often recaptured in the same area as released but 10 individuals were recaptured near Japan

Pacific spiny dogfish have been frequently captured over 1000 km from shore in salmon research gillnets in the North Pacific Ocean, suggesting that the trans-Pacific migrations from Canada to Japan could have passed through the open ocean rather than following the coast

Reproduction
The Pacific dogfish have a longer reproduction rate compared to other sharks, but have the same reproduction characteristics as Squalus acanthias . The gestation period for spiny dogfish is normally 18 to 24 months. Dogfish that live in cooler water may have an increased duration of pregnancy. Females are also known to migrate from deep to shallow water as the pregnancy continues. This migration pattern is known to influence embryonic growth. Baby dogfish, also known as pups, found near Newfoundland had an average of 1.1 cm/month and 24 month pregnancy period, while a warmer area such as Massachusetts had an average of 1.3 cm/month and 20-22 month pregnancy period. The sexual maturity of a dogfish is hard to determine because it varies anywhere from 10–30 years. Food supplies and water temperature also play a role in growth and development of the dogfish. The length of a newborn Pacific dogfish is around 22 to 23 centimeters. Females seem to be significantly larger than male dogfish. At sexual maturity the male dogfish is 60–70 cm while the female is about 70–100 cm. This length difference can be caused by the reproduction process of the female. Their bodies need to be bigger to carry and protect their eggs within their bodies. Pacific dogfish are ovoviviparous. This means that they produce eggs that hatch within the body. The size of the litter ranges from 1 to 20 newborns. Fertilization usually occurs from the beginning of October to the beginning of February.

Diet
The Pacific dogfish is an elasmobranchs or cartilaginous fish which includes sharks, skates and rays. Dogfish are carnivorous or meat eaters. Their teeth are sharp and are inclined laterally in order to cut through their prey. The Pacific dogfish usually eat mollusks or crustaceans such as squid, krill, and shrimp. They also eat other small sharks and fish. According to Jennifer Bigman, a marine scientist, there is no difference between what male dogfish eat versus what female dogfish eat. Their prey are usually found on the sea floor, so the Pacific spiny dogfish has to scan the bottom in order to invest in their prey. Elasmobranchs consume very little carbohydrates and glucose. During times of starvation, they rely on ketone bodies to give them enough energy to survive. Cartilaginous fish are able to endure severe hypoglycemia due to their ketone oxidation. Squalus suckleyi are able to eat more carbohydrates compared to other elasmobranchs. The rectal gland is activated when a dogfish consumes food. This gland helps the Pacific dogfish become glucose dependent. This means that they have the ability to break down a small amount of glucose.

Threats

Threats to humans
The Pacific dogfish poses no immediate threat to humans. It is rare to hear about this type of shark attacking and injuring humans. The only significant way that the Pacific dogfish can cause harm to a human is if a person gets near the poisonous spikes that are located at the dorsal fin.

Threats from other species
The main species of animals that threaten the Pacific dogfish population are sharks, Killer whales, seals, and larger bony fishes. The Pacific dogfish has relatively few predators, as its poisonous spines serve as a deterrent measure. The Giant Pacific Octopus has also been found to be a predator in the wild.

Human threats

The slow growth and low reproductive rates of Pacific spiny dogfish make them vulnerable to overfishing, but unlike the spiny dogfish found in other regions, which has been declared overfished in the past, stock assessments for the Pacific spiny dogfish in Alaska, British Columbia, and the West Coast of the United States have either found that the data are not informative about the stock status, or that the stock is not overfished and that overfishing is not occurring.

Dogfish have been harvested for subsistence use on the Pacific coast for centuries, but commercial fisheries first began targeting dogfish in the 1930s and commercial landings of Pacific spiny dogfish in the West Coast of the United States were highest in the 1940s, driven by a market for Vitamin A from shark liver oil. The mortality due to fishing was estimated to have peaked at over 15,000 mt in 1944 but rapidly declined in the years after that and remained below 3,000 mt for the years since 1950.

Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team drums home why vulnerability based trust and the need for the leader to go first is essential for teams to be successful.
Before I became a teacher I led many teams in business and always thought that we out performed our peers because I'd instilled a sense of fun and competitiveness in everyone who worked for me. When I retrained to be a teacher and learnt the essentials of leading a class of children, I realised that in addition to fun and a competitive edge, all my teams had trusted each other and me. It was not until I was introduced to this video by my friend Eilis Parker, who specialises in developing leadership within the NHS, that I better appreciated my teams and I had shared a naive vulnerability as we drove to out work and out play everyone around us.

Megan Adamson Sijapati and Jessica Vantine Birkenholtz, eds.
The Himalayas have long been at the crossroads of the exchange between cultures, yet the social lives of those who inhabit the region are often framed as marginal to historical narratives. And while scholars have studied religious diversity in the context of modern nation-states, such as India, Pakistan, Tibet, or Nepal, seldom has the Himalaya been the focus of examination in and of itself. Megan Adamson Sijapati, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Gettysburg College, and Jessica Vantine Birkenholtz, Assistant Professor of Religion at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, remedy this scholarly void in their new collection of essays, Religion and Modernity in the Himalaya (Routledge, 2016). The volume explores religious responses to Himalayan modernity as witnessed in the cultural encounter with new social realities, expectations, and limits. The characteristics of the Himalayan region are fluid, moving beyond geographical boundaries, or mountain and valley zones, as are the contemporary human processes of meaning-making in the face of globalization and modernization. In our conversation we discuss how modernity operates, the social and political factors shaping the Himalayan religious environment, processes of emplacement, Tibetan Buddhist media, environmentalism and development, changing pilgrimage practices, the Nepali Goddess tradition, political limits to religious education, and the dynamics of perceived margins and discourses of peripherality.

Beauty gets a new makeover – and this time it's all green!
You may have noticed that there is a trend hitting the world. Green cars. Green homes. And yes, green beauty products. More and more, people are realizing the serious health effects of harsh chemicals, not to mention the amounts of waste these products create. But help is on the way. The beauty industry is turning over a new leaf to go green. The trend is slow-growing, but a number of cosmetics companies – and even beauty training schools – are seeing the benefits of going green.
Aveda, an Estee Lauder Company, went green in 2006 by switching its Minnesota manufacturing plant source to 100% wind energy. Aveda President Dominique Conseil said the switch has saved the company hundreds of thousands of dollars and is doing more good for the Earth, which is the philosophy of Aveda and its products. Conseil also believes that beauty companies have a responsibility to uphold the standards of beautifying the environment.
Aveda also has a group of cosmetology training schools to help educate its students about green products and practices. With over 35 schools in America, Aveda wants to encourage environmentally sound practices with its students.
The American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) also recognizes the importance of teaching cosmetology students about the impact of harsh chemicals and wasteful products have on the Earth. John Halal, AACS President, said that there is no longer a reason to put off learning more about the environment and how people can change the little things to make a big difference. It is something that Halal wants future cosmetologists to learn early; it all starts with the school they choose.
Some cosmetology schools have jumped on the green train and are sharing that philosophy with its upcoming graduates. The expansive Paul Mitchell Schools network started the Green Team, with a student-run Green Team in each school dedicated toward helping to find ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. Paul Mitchell also donates to environmental organizations, is working toward green building and construction opportunities and purchases carbon offsetts to counteract carbon emissions. Additionally, the Empire Education Group is powering green building initiatives at its schools, making them eco-friendly training facilities.
All of this has recently led to the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011 (H.R.2359), as well as the more voluntary Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, which in December announced that they had 321 personal care companies meet the pledge's goals of eliminating chemicals and disclosing all ingredients.
The next time you visit the beauty shop or are gathering information about cosmetology training, ask about their eco-friendly habits. You can be a part of the solution and start making a difference in the beauty industry.

Obviously you want to protect your investment and the people inside your building. We are uniquely qualified to help you make the right commercial roof repair choices. Call now for an inspection and free estimate.
If you need commercial roof repair, you can not afford to wait. It is only a matter of time before minor leaks, cracks and worn seams turn into major unplanned large expenses. Our inspectors have special training in scientific techniques. These technicians use masterful workmanship in every commercial roof repair job. And we do not do hasty patch jobs; we tighten loose fasteners, secure flashing and restore your commercial roofing using best practices.
Most commercial buildings have flat top roofs. Through movement, settling, age, or faulty installation, these surfaces can develop low spots. If rainwater does not evaporate in less than 48 hours, you have a problem known as ponding which will eventually turn into a major problem.
Prompt commercial roof repair is crucial because standing water works like a magnifying glass with the sun's rays. The UV damage that results will crack and weaken the surface. This can rot out building materials, destroy insulation, and lead to mold and mildew. All are extremely damaging to your facility and can threaten your tenants' health. Do you want to take that risk when there are low-cost commercial roof repair solutions? Contact us today.
Ponding damage usually isn't covered by commercial insurance policies, so you need to take care of this yourself. Let our commercial roof repair company help with high quality Duralast system and sealing. They stop leaks and extend the life of your surface. If you are nearing the end of your warranty, a Duralast system is a solution worth exploring.
Elastomeric Duralast system add a thin but resilient layer to your roofs substrate. It seals out water completely because it has no seams. It will not crack because it has the ability to stretch. It also makes your rooftop highly reflective. You save money on energy while protecting the original surface from UV damage.
Low spots and weak flashing can harm your rooftop in just a few short years if problems are not addressed. It is very difficult to spot issues on a low-sloped surface, so you need professional commercial roof repair services. We are specially trained to find cracks and leaks and address them correctly.
Commercial roof repair alone might work well, without the need to tear-off and do roof replacement. A system may also be a good investment. We will never sell you more than what you need. At the end of our inspection we will write a report with our findings and then give you choices that fit your budget.
We are well qualified to repair single-ply, built-up, modified bitumen, torch-down and many other roof types. We are a commercial roofing contractor with 35-plus years of experience, Haag certification and an A rating with the BBB. You can be sure your needs will be met and your expectations exceeded.
We always work around yours and your tenants schedule as much as possible. Additionally we will let your tenants know exactly what we will be doing and when. Plus our cleanup is A-1 and your safety is always a priority.
We perform commercial roof repair in Austin, San Antonio, Georgetown and all nearby areas.

>>1564 Turani mirza
Subject: mirza noble
Culture: Turani / Indo-Uzbek
Setting: early Mughal Empire, Uzbek revolt, Hindustan 16-17thc
* Richards 1993 p17, 19
"In 1564, trouble flared up with the Uzbek nobles, Khan Zaman and his brother Bahadur Khan, who had defeated the Afghans at Chunar. Although most of these nobles had returned with Humayun to India, Uzbek allegiance to the Timurids was not as firm as it might have been. The Uzbek nobles traced their lineage back to Shaiban, the Uzbek ruler, who had been Babur's nemesis a half century earlier and whose descendants continued to rule in Central Asia. Accustomed to a more egalitarian political tradition, these grandees resented Akbar's imperious style. Considerable friction existed between the staunch Sunni Muslim Uzbeks and the Shia Persian nobles employed in Mughal service. Not surprisingly, the Uzbek dissidents determined to test Akbar early while the young ruler was still solidifying his position.
"In 1564 Abdullah Khan, governor of Malwa, went into open revolt. Akbar marched with an army to Mandu and drove the rebel with his followers to seek refuge in the still-independent Sultanate of Gujarat. Early in 1565 Akbar's attempt to recall the senior Uzbek officer in Awadh, touched off a unified Uzbek rebellion. A confused series of battles and negotiations ended in early 1566 with Akbar's withdrawal to Agra the rebels still holding the eastern provinces. [...]
"The Uzbek revolt underscored Akbar's vulnerablility vis-a-vis his nobles. These warrior-grandees drew upon inherited positions of power, authority, and influence with their kinsmen. The amirs were heirs to bellicose martial traditions that emphasized personal honor, dignity, and bravery on the field of battle. Always armed themselves, they commanded varying numbers of personal slaves, dependent kinsmen, and paid retainers."
* Gommans 2002 p71
"... Turani pride was vested in a relatively egalitarian political style that attached great value to autonomy and the right to share in the spoils and conquests of their Mughal patron, the latter merely being the first among equals. In addition, many Turani warlords were proud of being descendants of either Chingiss Khan or Amir Timur. Being Turanis themselves, the Mughals found it extremely difficult to cope with the self-conscious behaviour of their Turani 'brothers'. In 1564 Akbar was faced with a major uprising of some of his early Turani followers, who revolted against his increasingly autocratic tendencies, also finding common cause with Akbar's half-brother and imperial shareholder at Kabul, Mirza Muhammad Hakim. The leaders of the revolt were Shaibani Uzbeks who were straight, paternal descendants of Chingiss Khan, whereas Akbar could only boast direct descent from Amir Timur, having just a maternal connection to Chinggis Khan. Almost simultaneously, a group of Timurid nobles bearing the title of Mirza also rose against Akbar. Its leader was descended from Amir Timur's second, most favoured son Jahangir, Akbar merely springing from Timur's third son Miranshah. Although Akbar crushed these revolts, they certainly may have made the Mughals wary of recruiting Turanis on a massive scale."

Premsela again brought a full program of events to Milan's Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2012 by staging Spring, their inaugural exhibition in Milan, and by reprising 2011's popular Milan Breakfasts, as well as organising a mini-symposium with Vitra at the Triennale Design Museum.
Curator Miriam van der Lubbe selected 15 established designers who represent the breadth of the field – all of whom got their start at the Design Academy Eindhoven .
The three breakfasts resulted in interesting discussions between critic designers, developers, researchers and professionals. The audience could participate in these discussions by raising their hand or using Twitter.
Studio Zeta also hosted the exhibition 50, showcasing outstanding projects by recent bachelor's and master's graduates of the Design Academy Eindhoven and curated by Ilse Crawford.
The selection criterion is the project conformance with the existence of people and with the issues of real life. This exhibition presented a clear philosophy "Design is at its best when it addresses real needs." In this manner she indicates that the current design projects reflect the needs of society.
The designers of the future make a connection with economic, social and cultural aspects in our society and shape real matters.
The exhibition is composed of six sections: time, water, weather, care, magic, food, accurately interpreted by works that starting from real needs are apt to perform a new reality open to life and what life brings in, also giving the opportunity to visualize how could our life be better in a very near future.
We are practical intellectuals," says designer and educator Ilse Crawford, who was also the show's curator.
Design Academy Eindhoven is a school for industrial design in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
In 1999, Li Edelkoort, was elected chairwoman of the Academy.
In 2009 she left the Design Academy to pursue personal projects and was replaced by Anne Mieke Eggenkamp as chair.
At the mobile Nano Supermarket, resident at Studio Zeta during design week, visitors tested futuristic products – medicinal candy, interactive wall paint, a Twitter implant – that could hit shop shelves within a decade.
In a series of morning discussions, the Design Academy Eindhoven's Danielle Arets and Saskia van Stein and Premsela's Tim Vermeulen talked about new developments and directions in design with designers, experts, students and the audience over coffee and croissants.
With the urgent need for design output to have sustainable, responsible and integral production at its core, it is crucial to re-anchor ethical and meaningful parameters within this new context with the ultimate aim of creating values beyond the economic.
Which skills, tools and technologies can be fruitful in designing for contemporary needs in a meaningful manner?
During this Milan Breakfast, Premsela looked at the potential, the paradoxes and the desires implicit in these notions, reassessing terms such as authenticity as well as functionality and involvement, keeping the realistic possibilities and potential of the practice in perspective.
Jan Boelen started the Milan Breakfast by introducing an exhibition about The Machine, where designers designed a new industrial revolution.
Every designer built their own machine, which could be an alternative for mass production. Systems for distribution use, developed like an alternative for mass productions.
In addition, Maya Ben David told one of her secrets and explained her love and dependence of digital technology. She basically had to deal with everything on an emotional level online, because her family lives in Israel, while she studied in Eindhoven.
Designers operate more and more in social, cultural and economical domains where they have to cooperate with different disciplines and stakeholders.
If all disciplines are effectively deployed in multidisciplinary teams, different visions, qualities and talents will result in innovative ideas. What is the added value of designers in these teams, and how can they fulfil their role successfully?
What are the natural alliances, and where does friction arise? During this talk, we zoomed in on the subject of strategic creativity.
After a short introduction by Johan Kramer, Danielle Arets started with the question if someone could give a fresh example of a really successful collaborative project, where designers teamed up with the industry or with scientific institutes.
The guests gave some examples they recently worked on by themselves. The discussion was ended with the final question about future perspectives.
Our world is in crisis. In the face of pressing questions about the distribution of wealth and how our excesses are affecting the world around us, we should seize the current crisis as an opportunity to do things differently in the future.
This idea seems to be catching on in the design world. But is it just hollow rhetoric, or are things really going to change?
At this Milan Breakfast, Premsela talked about the contemporary face of design engagement and how we should activate design's new future.
What can designers do with their idealism in these days of crises?
The economic troubles that began in 2008 are still making their effects felt.
Tamar Shafir started with an introduction about the future in which she is interested in and engaged in.
Later during this Breakfast, Zuzanna Skalska emphasized that there is no end user. Also she highlighted the point of view that people have to unlearn things.
Premsela and the Vitra Design Museum's mini-symposium Never Mind the Mainstream: Experiment and Industry took place on Wednesday 18 April in the Triennale Design Museum.
Designers Konstantin Grcic, Hella Jongerius and Rogier van der Heide and the critic Aaron Betsky discussed the roles of experiment and industry in design.

Eustress is one of the Motivational factors that are associated with sports event attendance

Motivational factors that are associated with sports event attendance:
In the words of Daniel et al. (2008), there are several types of motivations that attract the individual to watch sports. The author has raised the issue of motivational factors that drive an individual to watch sport. In today's world, consuming the sport is becoming a trend for entertainment. The specific focus of the author in this article is to describe the motivational profile factors of sports lovers and fans. Apart from that, the author wants to define factors such as self-esteem, escape, entertainment, economic, and many more which drive a person to consume sports. The author defines the major concepts of the findings of the motivational factors that drive a person to watch or consume sports (Wann et al., 2008). The major highlights define that motivation can differ and vary from a person to another person to way of consuming the sport. There are many examples of motivation to consume sports and eustress is one of the most common factors to consume the sport. The eustress refers to the desire to achieve stimulation and excitement through sport. Eustress is considered a way to become entertainment and motivation through sport. The people who love to watch sports generally have the desire to gain excitement. They feel happy and motivated by watching the sport and it is the best way to feel motivated as consuming the sport to feel motivated is considered a good way.
In light of the evidence to Schroy et al. (2016), the author believes that eustress is a positive force and stress to gain enthusiasm while watching the sport. The eustress is the feeling every fan wants to feel while watching the game and this is the way to become motivated and excited. Generally, the fans become excited and stimulated when the game is serious and at that moment of stress, the team plays well this is the moment when fans become excitement and stimulation. Eustress is known as the key motivating factor for the people at every stream whether they are watching the sport, working in the organisation, and anywhere. The eustress can differ in various streams to become motivation and enthusiasm such as in sport the motivation comes when the team performs well, in the organization eustress is gained when the employees perform well in the organization, and many more ways to obtain the eustress motivation. The above two authors believe that eustress is the best way of being the stimulation and motivation in every field whether it is a sport or anything (Liu et al., 2019). There are several benefits of the eustress such as the emotional benefit of the eustress is a feeling of satisfaction, motivation, inspiration, and flow. The psychological benefit of the eustress is that it helps to build autonomy, self-efficacy, and resilience. The physical benefit of the eustress is that it helps to build the body through the intense workout.
As there is some difference between eustress and distress. The eustress is the feeling and desire of gaining motivation and stimulation and on the other hand, distress is a feeling of sadness, loneliness, depression, and many other factors that bring distress. There are several other ways to become the motivation to consume sport such as entertainment, aesthetics, economic, entertainment, family, and group affiliation (Yim et al., 2020). Entertainment refers to consuming the sport just for the entertainment purpose and feeling relaxed. The aesthetics factor of motivation is concerned with fulfilment and interest of the spectators of the sports, the main focus of the aesthetics people is that they prefer to be the witness of the sport instead of witnessing those who are playing that particular sport. Economic factors of motivation refer to the motivation which comes with the intention of economic gains from that particular sport. The family factor of motivation includes the aspects or situations where the family is being benefited by consuming the sport. From all of these factors, the eustress factor is considered as the better way to obtain the motivation by consuming the sport (Sung, Son & Choi, 2017). The eustress motivates the individual in a positive aspect by providing them the stimulation and enthusiasm that helps them to feel motivated. Some motivational patterns affect eustress motivation.
The very first set of examinations of the eustress involves a Multivariate Analysis of Variance in which the particular sport serves as the combination motivational variable subscale scores are set up as the various dependent measures (MANOVA). The MANOVA is a hypothetical test of the effects of single or multiple independent capricious. The MANOVA has an important role in expanding the capability of eustress as the motivation factors of eustress are being enhanced by comparing it by other motivational factors. The eustress plays a vital role in an individual's life by providing them the stimulation and motivation. This has various positive impacts on an individual's life as the motivation and stimulation source is positive. The reason behind positively obtaining the stimulation and excitement is because it is coming from watching a sport. The author has strongly stated that stress from sport is the best source to become enthusiastic and stimulation. There are several motivational differences for different sports as the study shows that different motives drive the person to watch different sports. Different sports drive both males and females to consume that particular sport and these factors provide motivation and stimulation (Malchrowicz-Mośko & Chlebosz, 2019). Two types of people segment their choices regarding sports and consume that particular sport to become the excitement level high. Some people like to watch basketball, some like to watch football; and so on the individual's motivation level is decided by the sport they choose to consume.
According to the study that was conducted by the Wann in which some candidates were asked to list the sport they like to watch, they had been asked to list the sport in the order of most likely to less likely. In the study, Wann found that the motivation of consuming sport is higher stress levels and lower aesthetic level. The result from that study described that the eustress level is the most influencing factor for driving an individual for consuming the sport (Gossmann, 2019). The study has found that eustress is a positive feeling of arousal and fulfilment. The eustress increases the level of attention, skill level, and focus on an individual while the individual is consuming the sport. Many sports actively strive to gain a stressful situation to obtain stimulation and motivation to perform well. There are several benefits of the eustress such as it increases the level of concentration, helps in improving the mindset, helps to maintain the control in inner-self, and most importantly it helps to find the true meaning of life. Apart from that, there are several disadvantages of the eustress such as eustress have a bad impact on speech ability; it increases depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship troubles (Schroy et al., 2016). Apart from the benefits and limitations of the eustress, it is the ultimate source of obtaining the stimulation and motivation through consuming the sport.
The major contribution of eustress is that it helps the individual to feel happy and satisfied along with the motivation in their life. The eustress has a very vital role in the life of a sports person also as it makes them feel stress as energy and helps them to perform well. The report concludes that eustress is beneficial for the individual to consume the sport as it provides them a sense of fulfilment and satisfaction along with the stimulation. The main conclusion of the eustress is that it gives motivation, confidence, increases focus, and energy in individuals but the other finding of the eustress study is that all of the feelings and sense of motivations are short terms (Chacón Cuberos et al., 2018). All of the effects of the eustress that stimulates and motivates the individual have a short period and these effects vanish very quickly after returning from watching the sport.
The main conclusion of the eustress is that it gives motivation, confidence, increases focus, and energy in individuals but the other finding of the eustress study is that all of the feelings and sense of motivations are short terms (Chacón Cuberos et al., 2018).
The significance of the eustress in this review is that there are several factors and reasons for consuming the sport but apart from all of that the eustress is the factor that influences an individual the most. Hence the conclusion of the report defines that eustress is the most influencing factor among aesthetics, entertainment, economic, and others. Eustress has been a big influencer to gain motivation through consuming the sport not just for the person who is watching but to give a sense of fulfilment to those who are playing it. The author concludes that eustress is a positive feeling and it provides confidence in individuals along with a higher level of satisfaction.

Family-based obesity treatment, then and now: twenty-five years of pediatric obesity treatment.
Epstein LH1, Paluch RA, Roemmich JN, Beecher MD.
Family-based treatments for pediatric obesity were developed over 25 years ago. Over that time, youth have become more obese and the environment more obesiogenic, which may influence efficacy of pediatric weight control. Mixed-effects regression models were used to compare the efficacy of programs initiated 20 to 25 years ago to current programs through 24-month follow-up, as well as to reanalyze 10-year outcomes of previous research using contemporary measures and analytic strategies.
Results showed significant reductions over time, with no differences in z-BMI change for older versus contemporary studies. Age was a predictor of z-BMI up to 24 months, with younger children showing larger change. Mixed-effects regression models replicated previous long-term effects of family-based interventions. Gender was a predictor of long-term z-BMI change, with girls benefiting more over time than did boys.
The efficacy of the family-based behavioral approach to treating pediatric obesity replicates over a 25-year period. Challenges in evaluating treatment effects over time are discussed. Ideas for studying choice of treatments that vary in effect size and for strengthening family-based behavioral treatments are noted.
z-body mass index (z-BMI) change (M ± SEM) for younger (≤ 10.33 years of age) or older (> 10.33 years of age) children in Studies 1–8.
z-body mass index (z-BMI) change (M ± SEM) for boys and girls in Studies 1–4.

Tech Investors Favor 'IoT and AI' Over 'Blockchain'
HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / April 17, 2019 / Blockchain was the tech buzzword investors favored, but according to a new survey reported by Cointelegraph of 1,050 IT, security, and engineering decision makers at $1 billion firms, most of them are now investing in either AI, augmented reality, blockchain, or Internet-of-Things as part of their "digital transformation strategy." Ninety percent said they were investing in at least one of the above technologies as part of their "digital transformation strategy." Of that 90 %, 61 % of respondents claimed their firm invests in blockchain. The company has followed that up this past week announcing it successfully completed testing on their Alpha version of its global mesh network technology platform GopherInsight™, which is the company's IoT component.

I've been in many different places around the world, yet I don't know where my heart truly lies in this world. I've made so many wonderful friends, and lost most of them. I don't even know if they remember me after I left, or if they're talking about me when I'm gone. To me, they're like images of gods that will live forever, but to them, I bet I'm a temporary ketchup stain on a polo shirt to them. It's hard to be a military child, with the smiles and tears, mixed emotions, the feeling of relief and despair at the same time. It can have pros- It could prove that you're strong, cool, and get to explore more places, but it also has its setbacks, with leaving your beloved back at one of the many homes you've been to. Parents seem numb to the changes on the outside, but within the dense bark of the tree lies the vulnerable soft sap that'll melt down when exposed.

This all-through school offering an American-style education opened in Bangkok in September 2019. Located in the Rama II area, BASIS International School Bangkok (BISB) is currently a pre-school through to Grade 5, and it will add one extra grade every year up until Grade 12.
STEM will be taught in the BISB design kitchen
This new international school is part of the US-based network of BASIS schools, which all follow a unique, college-prep BASIS curriculum. As well as being focused on science, technology, engineering and maths, this curriculum includes humanities, fine arts, PE and interdisciplinary studies designed to foster critical thinking skills. Also, BASIS Bangkok teaches Mandarin from kindergarten and then gives middle school students the option of Mandarin or another language.
"BASIS is not a purely STEM school. The curriculum also provides a very strong liberal arts programme where students are well-rounded in all subjects, from AP calculus to AP history as well as many extra-curricular activities including sports , clubs, and student-led initiatives."
The proposed sports block
The school delivers an early years' programme that "fosters an exposure to a thematic, hands-on, comprehensive, and content-rich curriculum." Students in Grades 1-3 have a weekly Connections Class when they have to use creative and critical thinking skills to complete a group challenge. At high school level, BISB will eventually follow the Advanced Placement (AP) programme and offer AP exams. All senior students will also work towards graduating with a BASIS Diploma.
The BISB kindergarten
BISB is the group's fifth international school; its other schools outside the US are located in China. In line with all BASIS schools, it teaches chemistry, physics and biology as separate courses in Grade 6; looking ahead, all students are expected to graduate with all three sciences at Honors level, and at least one AP science and one AP maths course.
Like many schools, BISB promises to "meet the individual needs of their students", and students receive two hours' every week of dedicated support in small groups or one-on-one. Also, the school promises to offer a well-rounded programme of extra-curricular activities to develop academia, business, technology and engineering, leadership, the arts and sport.
Sports facilities will include an indoor pool
The school opened with a large, brand new campus equipped with classrooms, a 25m pool, gym, 'design kitchen' with 3D printing, woodwork, engineering and robotics facilities, theatre, ceramics studio, dance studio, library, cafeteria and more than 19,000 sqm of sports fields.
Admission to a BASIS school follows a multi-step selective process to "ensure we spend time getting to know our applicants, their families, and vice-versa".
A full review will be posted once the school opens.

Get to know one local business through which the simple act of booking a hotel room can change lives.
Hotels for Hope Founder and CEO Neil Goldman.
All businesses have a platform, and Hotels for Hope is using its for good. HFH Founder and CEO Neil Goldman was inspired after listening to a speaker at a business conference. He approached the speaker, Toms Shoes Founder Blake Mycoskie, after his presentation and talked in detail about using business for social good and Mycoskie's famous one-for-one business model, one that's transforming the lives of those in need with each purchase.
It was only six short months later when Goldman transformed his pre-existing business in the hospitality industry into what HFH is today.
HFH is a for-profit social enterprise that brokers hotel inventory for events of all shapes and sizes. Clients who use HFH can expect to build and extend their brand, deliver better customer experiences and support meaningful causes. Rather than sending event guests to choose a hotel at random, the organization keeps guests immersed within client brands. From logos and fonts to pictures and sponsors, HFH integrates a business into each guest's overnight stay.
So, how does Hotels for Hope actually work? HFH can do what it does thanks to technology, which allows the company to fully customize booking portals for seamless booking experiences, providing brokerage services that reduce client cost and mitigate risks, as well as "roomfunding," a critical component of HFH's business model touted as a new way of giving back. With 6,000-plus hotel partnerships the company can align with hotels on a local, regional, national and global basis. Through roomfunding, clients have the ability to extend their corporate impact and build cause marketing that resonates with stakeholders. At no cost to their clients, HFH donates $2 per night to its nonprofit partners, including local music nonprofit Kids in a New Groove.
Presently, a total of $774,108 has been donated to children-focused nonprofits through HFH. Goldman chose to have HFH benefit such nonprofits because he knows children are our future and believes we need to impact them in a positive way. It is the hope of Goldman and the rest of the HFH family that the business can inspire others to use companies as a platform for social good.

Q: How to get JSON response from a teiid REST service I am issuing a SQL SELECT query against a MySQL data source from teiid and trying to get the SQL response in the JSON format. I was able to get the response in the XML format but having trouble when I'am trying to get the response in JSON format. it seems that there are not equivalent JSON functions to XMLELEMENT, XMLAGG, XMLFOREST XML functions. I have posted the XML version of my query bellow. What are the equivalent JSON version of this query.

CREATE VIRTUAL PROCEDURE GetFlightRecordsByAirDelay1(IN p1 integer, IN
  p2 integer) RETURNS (xml_out xml) OPTIONS (UPDATECOUNT 0,
  "REST:METHOD" 'GET', "REST:URI" 'GetFlightRecordsByAirDelay1')
              AS
              /*+ cache(pref_mem ttl:14400000) */
              BEGIN
                  SELECT  XMLELEMENT("FlightDelayRecords",
                  XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT("FlightDelayRecord",
                  XMLFOREST(UniqueCarrier,FlightNum, CRSDepTime, DepTime,
                  CRSArrTime, ArrDelay) )) ) as xml_out     FROM    (SELECT UniqueCarrier,FlightNum, CRSDepTime, DepTime, CRSArrTime,
  ArrDelay FROM flight_records_mod1 WHERE flight_records_mod1.ArrDelay <
  p1 AND flight_records_mod1.YEAR = p2 LIMIT 10) A;
              END

A: It can be simpler to return json.  To produce a result like:
{"FlightDelayRecords":[{"UniqueCarrier":...},...]}

Use
CREATE VIRTUAL PROCEDURE GetFlightRecordsByAirDelay1(IN p1 integer, IN p2 integer)
RETURNS (clob json) OPTIONS (UPDATECOUNT 0, "REST:METHOD" 'GET', "REST:URI" 'GetFlightRecordsByAirDelay1') AS /*+ cache(pref_mem ttl:14400000) */
BEGIN
SELECT JSONOBJECT(JSONARRAY_AGG(JSONOBJECT(UniqueCarrier,FlightNum, CRSDepTime, DepTime, CRSArrTime, ArrDelay)) as "FlightDelayRecords") as json FROM (SELECT UniqueCarrier,FlightNum, CRSDepTime, DepTime, CRSArrTime,
ArrDelay FROM flight_records_mod1 WHERE flight_records_mod1.ArrDelay < p1 AND flight_records_mod1.YEAR = p2 LIMIT 10) A;
END

Q: Laravel Multiple Sessions I have got the following problem. I have got an site developed in Anuglar + Laravel. We have got two types of profiles. User and Fanpage. We want the user to be able to switch between these two users like on Facebook with the normal user and his fan page.
We wanted to use multiple sessions for this. The user logs in and gets his session. when going to his fanpage he gets a new session for this fanpage. When leavin it we use the normal user session again.
We cannot find a way to use multiple sessions inside Laravel though.
Is there any way to do this?
P.S. We use Laravel 5 if this is important.

Ketamine, which has been called "the most important discovery in half a century," just got a step closer to becoming the first new depression drug in 35 years.
Johnson & Johnson, one of the pharmaceutical companies pursuing the drug's fast-acting antidepressant qualities, presented some promising new research on Saturday that could raise the drug's profile as a potential treatment for the condition.
It's a dramatic departure for a compound that most people know either as a surgical anesthetic or a party drug. And it's a seemingly welcome one, according to physicians and psychiatrists who say they've grown tired of giving patients the same mediocre drugs for the past four decades.
Johnson & Johnson isn't the only drugmaker that's hot on the ketamine trail. Allergan is in the last phase of clinical trials with a drug that acts on the same receptor as ketamine, and San Francisco drugmaker VistaGen is studying a similar ketamine-inspired drug.
J&J's version of ketamine is a nasal spray made with a compound called esketamine, the chemical mirror image of ketamine. In its latest clinical trial, the company's neuroscience partner, Janssen Research, wanted to show that the spray was safe, well tolerated, and superior to both a placebo and a traditional antidepressant.
To do it, the researchers had 236 adults with treatment resistant depression — known as one of the hardest forms to treat — take a traditional antidepressant for four weeks alongside a nasal spray. Only half of them got a spray with J&J's drug in it; the other half got a placebo.
Their results were promising: The people who got the real spray saw significantly better improvements in their depressive symptoms than those who got the placebo, over the course of 28 days. More importantly, it is also the first time a novel treatment has come out on top even when compared to a traditional antidepressant drug.
The findings come roughly a month after J&J published the results of a small, preliminary version of this study which suggested that over the course of a single day, the spray and traditional antidepressant combo was better than a placebo and traditional antidepressant combo. That study, however, suggested the results diminished over the course of four weeks, while the longer and larger study suggests they might not.
Depression is one of the world's leading causes of death. Current treatments for depression, which take roughly five weeks to begin to take effect, may not work well in up to 80% of the people who get them.
Most existing antidepressants, from Abilify to Zoloft, work by plugging up the places where our brain takes up serotonin, a chemical messenger that plays a key role in mood. The result is more free-floating serotonin and, in some people, relief from a dark curtain of depressive symptoms.
Ketamine doesn't work this way. It capitalizes on a different mechanism in the brain and affects key switches called NMDA receptors.
Like serotonin receptors, those for NMDA play an important role in our mood and help keep our emotions in check. But NMDA receptors also keep our brain's synapses — the delicate branches that serve as the ecosystem for our thoughts — flexible and resilient.
Potentially because of depression's damaging effects on these brain switches, it appears to cause our synaptic branches to shrivel up and in some cases even to die. Scientists think existing antidepressants send help to those branches indirectly over time by way of serotonin. Ketamine, by contrast, delivers its aid directly to the source, plugging up NMDA receptors like a cork in a bottle, and nipping depressive symptoms within hours.
A 2012 study published in the journal Science analyzed ketamine's rapid ability to reduce depressive symptoms in people who'd failed to respond to other drugs. The authors called ketamine "the most important discovery in half a century." Five years later, researchers concluded in a study in the American Journal of Psychiatry that the drug's antidepressant effects appeared to last at least a month.
Still, like any drug, ketamine has a range of unpleasant side effects, the most troublesome of which appears to be its tendency to produce what are known as dissociative, or "out of body," experiences.
Experts worry those effects could lead patients to either react negatively to the experience and not want to repeat it, or react positively and want to repeatedly use, potentially leading to a drug-use disorder.
In J&J's most recent study, patients reported other side effects as well, including dizziness, headache, blurred vision, and nausea.
Besides its immediate side-effects, some researchers approach ketamine with hopeful caution for another reason.
Without a good number of long term studies on ketamine for depression, it's tough to know what the drug's effects might look like over the course of several months or years. Its beneficial effects, for example, could wear off; other negative side effects could emerge as well.
Allergan and VistaGen are currently doing long term studies of their new drug candidates, which act on the same pathway as ketamine but appear to have substantially fewer side effects; results from those trials are expected in the next two years.
J&J is also pursuing more research on its nasal spray ketamine formula, some of which will include longer trials. Company representatives told Business Insider that in addition to the research they've presented so far, they also have plans to study the nasal spray formula in teens with major depression who are at imminent risk for suicide.
The company is expecting to file for approval of their drug with the US Food and Drug Administration later this year.


The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has instituted proceedings in the Federal Court against Coles and Woolworths for allegedly breaching the court enforceable undertakings each provided to the ACCC in relation to their fuel shopper dockets.
"The ACCC takes alleged breaches of undertakings extremely seriously. Such undertakings are generally accepted by the ACCC as an alternative to the ACCC taking court enforcement action," ACCC Chairman Rod Sims said.
On 6 December 2013, the ACCC accepted court enforceable undertakings from Coles and Woolworths to voluntarily limit fuel discounts that are linked to supermarket purchases to a maximum of 4 cents per litre. The undertakings took full effect on 1 January 2014.
The ACCC alleges that Woolworths' current offer of a bundled discount of 8 cents per litre (4 + 4 cents) is a breach of its undertaking because the discount is only available to a customer who has made a qualifying supermarket purchase.
The ACCC alleges that Coles is offering and allowing a bundled discount of 14 cents per litre (10 + 4 cents). As the discount of 14 cents per litre is only available to a customer who has made a qualifying supermarket purchase and because it exceeds 4 cents per litre, the ACCC alleges that it is a breach of Coles' undertaking.
"Following an extensive investigation, the ACCC had been concerned that fuel savings offers could have longer-term effects on the structure of the retail fuel markets and also short term effects of increasing general pump prices in those markets," Mr Sims said.
"It is pleasing that Coles and Woolworths advise that they are honouring their undertakings to fund all fuel discounts from their fuel operations, but we are concerned that the bundled discount offerings in excess of 4 cents per litre are contrary to the terms of the undertakings," Mr Sims said.
The ACCC is seeking declarations, costs and other orders.
In separate proceedings, Woolworths has sought a declaration in relation to a proposed future fuel discount offer, which the ACCC also considers would breach Woolworths' undertaking.
Directions hearings for the ACCC action against Coles and Woolworths are set for 3 April 2014 in the Federal Court Sydney.
Woolworths currently offers a bundled fuel discount of 8 cents per litre. To obtain the bundled discount, a consumer must first purchase $30 worth of groceries in a Woolworths supermarket to obtain a 4 cents per litre shopper docket discount. The consumer can then receive an additional 4 cents per litre discount by purchasing $5 worth of convenience items at the Woolworths petrol station. In this way, Woolworths gives a total discount of 8 cent per litre on a single acquisition of fuel to customers who have qualified for the initial discount on the basis of their supermarket purchases.
Since 6 February 2014, Coles Express petrol stations have offered a fuel saving of 10 cents per litre when consumers spend $20 or more on groceries at the petrol station. Consumers are able to obtain a further 4 cent per litre discount in the same transaction if they present a Coles shopper docket obtained by having purchased $30 worth of groceries in a Coles supermarket. The total discount available on a single acquisition of fuel at a Coles Express petrol station is 14 cents per litre and is advertised as such.
