Freshwater aquaculture has a significant role in fish production and biodiversity conservation. Due to climate change, however, the sustenance of farms became more challenging, endangering both people natural values.

Being at the sport event or watching sports in pubs is a fulfilling experience, highly sociable, fun and relaxing. Our aim is to identify issues that are closely connected to watching sports in pubs using field studies and theory of leisure and play and to apply them on mobile TV design. In particular we concentrate on watching live sports on mobile devices.

We introduce the notion of watching systems in graphs, which is a generalization of that of identifying codes. We give some basic properties of watching systems, an upper bound on the minimum size of a watching system, and results on the graphs which achieve this bound; we also study the cases of the paths and cycles, and give complexity results.

We present a previously unreported series of five cases of acute angle closure glaucoma associated with watching the Australia soap opera "Neighbours". Two cases were bilateral and associated with watching two episodes of "Neighbours" on the same day. The pathogenesis, and possible role of watching soap operas in the causation of primary angle closure glaucoma is discussed.
