Shares of the company, which makes screen glasses and optical fiber products, rose 5.4 percent to $32.00 before the opening bell.
Telecom companies across the world have been ramping up their efforts to build high-speed next-generation 5G network, driving up demand for optical fiber.
Net sales from Corning's optical communications division surged 26 percent to $1.17 billion in the fourth quarter, as the company secured more contracts from companies upgrading their networks. The division is on track to surpass its 2020 sales goal of $5 billion, Corning said.
Corning's net sales from its specialty materials unit, which makes Gorilla Glass used in smartphones, tablets and notebook PCs, rose just 2 percent to $399 million after several quarters of rapid growth.
Smartphone makers Apple and Samsung have warned investors about weakening demand from China, with several mobile component suppliers following their suit.
Corning reported net income of $292 million, or 32 cents per share, compared with a loss of $1.41 billion, or $1.66 per share, a year earlier.

Backlog growing at information commissioner's office
D'Arcy Hande, the researcher who triggered the Pinehouse inquiry, says the backlog is a major problem.

D'Arcy Hande is worried about the files piling up on the desk of Saskatchewan's information and privacy commissioner.
Hande, a retired provincial archivist whose repeated requests for records from the Northern Village of Pinehouse triggered a sweeping government inquiry, said Ron Kruzeniski's office must be "snowed under."
Backlog growing at information commissioner's office Back to video
That appears to be the case. Earlier this year, while straining to meet the 120-calendar-day target for issuing review reports, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner received a $107,000 funding increase, bringing its annual budget to $1.97 million.
While $80,000 of that was earmarked for a new analyst, bringing the total to seven, it did not make a major dent in the growing backlog of files awaiting review. Last year, Kruzeniski's office opened 301 new files; this year, it is projecting 390 — 40 more than the record.
"Obviously, the information commissioner's office needs more staff. It's that simple," Hande said.
"It's a big problem. Transparency and accountability are the essence of democratic government. If citizens can't get answers, we're in the dark — we don't know how decisions are being made by our governing authorities."

Kruzeniski is well aware of the situation. Under ideal circumstances, he said, each of the seven analysts would have 15 files open at any given time. Some currently have more than 40 on their desks, and it's not unthinkable that the forecast of 390 new files could be low.
"For people who want that information, it's not good," Kruzeniski said, adding that the current wait time for his office to review a privacy breach or a disputed freedom of information request is around 190 days — more than six months.
"That's just not performance," he said.
Under provincial law, anyone can request records from a host of public institutions. The list of eligible "local authorities" includes the provincial government and its agencies, plus Crown corporations, universities, municipalities large and small and police forces.
Many requests are submitted by private individuals like Hande, but they are also frequently used by journalists and Opposition political parties seeking information about the inner workings of different organizations and levels of government.
Kruzeniski attributes the sharp spike in requests and reviews to multiple factors, including high-profile data breaches, journalists' efforts to obtain government records and broader public awareness inspired by Hande's Pinehouse probe.
While it is obviously good that more people are aware of their ability to access public information, Kruzeniski said, it comes with consequences, including frustration for applicants, public bodies and the general availability of information.
"If something happens in November that has a democratic implication or issue to it, my issuing a report next November — the story has come and gone and come and gone and maybe come and gone again," he said.

Hande is far from the only person worried about the implications of long wait times for information. While the Canadian Taxpayers Federation rarely advocates for more spending, it is prepared to make an exception in this case.
"Accountability saves taxpayers money in the long run," CTF Prairie Director Todd MacKay said, adding that in his view the review process should generally take "weeks and months, not months and years."
MacKay said the government should change its culture to favour proactive disclosure — putting documentation online before anyone decides to ask for it. There is an incentive to do just that, he said.
Instead of having damaging information come out one freedom of information request at a time — which in cases such as the Global Transportation Hub scandal can prolong bad news for years — it's easier just to be transparent, he said.
"It's a little bit like when I tell my kids when they break something, 'Just be honest and tell me.' It's hard for them to believe they're going to get in less trouble when they're honest, but that's the simple reality."

Hande took a slightly different view. Speaking generally, he said any government that has been in power for years accumulates "baggage," and since there is little incentive to reveal it, the tendency is to slow down the process.
Not only should the office have order-making powers — as Kruzeniski has recommended — but it needs more resources, Hande said, adding that he is "very concerned" about any organization that does not want to be accountable.
Kruzeniski is about a month away from his annual presentation to the Board of Internal Economy, the bipartisan legislative committee that controls funding for his office and those of other independent officers, such as the provincial auditor.
While he could ask for funding for seven new analysts — which would make sense given Hande's view that his office is about 100 per cent over capacity — the commissioner said he will likely ask for two more so as not to be deemed "unreasonable."
"That would certainly bring down our numbers. Would it bring it right down to the 15 (files per analyst)? I don't know. I know if I ask for funding to double the number of analysts, I just wouldn't get it," he said.
"There's a whole bunch of other good, important things that are crying out for money and you're competing for resources."

Humble Texas, and Humble Texas Hotels.
The town was named after early settler Pleasant S. Humble, who operated a ferry on the San Jacinto River before the Civil War.
Humble ran a commissary, cut timber into railroad cross ties and served as a Justice of the Peace. In 1876 the town was a flag station on the railroad.
Humble was on the Old Atascosa Road - a trade and cattle trail that crossed the San Jacinto River at Humble, the Trinity River at Liberty and the Neches at Beaumont. The terminus was Opelousas, Louisiana.
By 1880 the population of Humble was a mere 60. Mill owner Charles Bender purchased the townsite and established a commissary for the lumber mill workers. He issued trade tokens to maximize profits. A post office opened in 1886 and the next year Humble had a school, two hotels, two stores, and the sawmill. In 1894 the existing railroad was taken over by the Houston, East and West Texas Railway.
In 1904 oil was discovered in the area. The population soared to 10,000 and the following year the Humble oilfield was the largest field in Texas. In1906, however, with reduced production, the population declined to 7,500.
Ross S. Sterling, who founded Humble Oil in 1911, once operated a feed store at Humble. His company relocated to Houston in 1912. An oil well drilled in 1912 struck water and the hot sulphur artesian water has been flowing ever since. A bathhouse was set up by a Mrs. Mary Standley who charged .25 per bath (including soap).
By 1914 the population of Humble had shrunk to only 3,000.
During World War I elements of the 19th Inf from Fort Sam Houston were stationed at Moonshine Hill. The Moonshine Hill Road is ruputed to be the oldest paved road in Texas. A reminder of WWI exists today in the name of Belleau Woods Drive.
In 1918 a fire destroyed "several saloons, stores and a cafe." In the 30s the population dropped to 1,500.
Hwy 59, which was begun in 1932 as a two-lane highway, was finally opened in 1970 as the four-lane divided highway we know today. Humble passed a city ordnance prohibiting saloons in 1936.
Prosperity returned when World War II brought workers back to the oilfields. The population doubled, but increased mobility eventually drained off people who chose to commute to Houston. The old city of Humble has been preserved by antique dealers and store owners that have kept the early commercial buildings intact.
214 acre facility. Garden, arboretum, picnic areas, and nature trails.
Lake Houston - FM 1960 East. Fishing and watersports.
Humble has a very entertaining history that was published in 1976 by the James Tull Chapter of the DAR. The book introduces readers to colorful characters the type of which they just aren't making anymore. Like Constable Marvin "By-Jingo" Winters, who was known for his favorite exclamation and who died in 1937 directing traffic on the new Hwy 59. Or Ed "Danger" Dangerfield Foltz who wore a Tom Mix white Stetson and wore twin .45s. Also known as "Mr. Tough," Ed wore a blue serge suit (summer or winter) with the pantlegs tucked into hightoped boots.
In the book Friend N. Kenyon wrote of his father, an early Humble settler: "My father Thomas A. Kenyon was born in New York State. He studied McGuffy's Reader and went through the same arithmetic book over and over until he finished his schooling."
The book also mentions Vinny Baily - who was Humble's oldest resident at the time of the book's publication. Born in the Rockwell-Caldwell area in 1870, Vinny who gave birth to 11 children and outlived nine of them, was 106 when she was interviewed.

South Side Mustangs – Ride the Pony!
One of the most dreaded household pests are fleas. Once they get in your house, it can be difficult to get rid of them. Since they are so tiny, they could hide in your walls, floor cracks and other out of the way areas. They immediately lay eggs and end up multiplying. Many of these products which you could get over-the-counter are not effective at getting rid of them. To deal with the infestation, look through the following information.
In the US, there are many distinct species of fleas. They like humans, cats and dogs. Even though a single flea may only live for a few months, they're capable of placing as many as 50 eggs a day. They can hatch in a few days to a few weeks. A single flea can cause a whole host of problems, so you want to address it right away.
There are several things to look for to determine if your house is infested. If you notice your pet biting or scratching, it might be fleas. It might also be an indication of a different issue, so you will need to visit the vet for a proper identification. If you become aware of your ankles and legs being bitten by these small black insects jumping from the floor, you most likely have fleas in the house. They are miniature, black and with no wings, but their bites are wicked. If they are having a feast on you and your pets, you will most likely notice it quickly.
Family pets are the most frequent culprit for infestations. A flea preventative isn't capable of protecting your pet completely, so you will need to make sure that your pet is getting their preventatives when they need them. Remember, pets are not always to blame. Fleas can easily be carried in your belongings or clothing, especially if you were out in the fields. Check pant legs and socks before coming indoors. If you're the carrier, you might not realize that you gave them a free ride until they are embedded in your carpets.
The first step is making certain that you pets are properly treated for fleas. Then vacuum your floors thoroughly. Immediately empty the canister or eliminate the bag in a garbage can outside. Then, provide a pest control service a call. Despite the fact that there are lots of methods for treating the infestation by yourself, you may find the methods aren't working. Frustration sets in with the expensive treatment methods being used. We've got all the newest in technology to eliminate the fleas from your home and prevent them from hatching. Allow the team of professionals take care of your pests. Schedule your appointment today.
While I have been skating off and on for over 40 years, competed in numerous events and am currently a coach for adult skaters, I recall the very first time I stepped onto the ice. I was only nine years old and was so excited to go through the ice for the first time. Obviously, back then I was not doing it to the physical and mental advantages of the sport. I didn't know any of that stuff – I just wanted to glide around and have a terrific time, the way all those figure skaters seemed to have fun on TV. Little did I know that if I took those first wobbly steps, I was beginning a lifetime love affair with the sport of ice skating!
On this first day, I had no clue what to expect. I'd roller skated a lot around my neighborhood, but had a feeling that ice skating would be wholly different. As there are a lot of unknowns when you pick up a new sport or hobby, I want to share with you my initial experiences back then, and how much things have changed now for beginners. More importantly, I'd like to share with you what, as a new skater, you can expect when you venture on the ice for the first time.
I still remember that day, when my mother took me to the ice rink one summer afternoon. We drove up to this big old building with a sign that read,"Ballard Ice Arena" on it, in big blue letters. The ice rink was located in Seattle, Washington, in an older part of the city, so the building had that old classic look you would expect from Rocky films. As we opened the door, I remember looking into a gloomy reception and being unimpressed. It looked so much older on the inside of the building than it had been on the outside.
I approached the skate counter with my mom by my side to receive my first pair of rental skates, and almost started giggling when I was handed these gloomy and quite unattractive skates. They were nothing like the beautiful and glamorous white skates I imagined. They looked as though they'd been through a war–with many gigantic feet!
Slowly, and ever so carefully, I proceeded to wobble down the hallway to the ice with my ankles trying to balance over the very thin blade, trying to not look like the beginner that I had been. I remember how chilly the air smelled too, as I progressed into the ice, but nevertheless it had a clean and crisp quality to it, due to the cold temperature. It's still a smell I love, even now, because of all the beautiful memories I associate with it.
Yes, I understood ice was slippery but, wow, it was really slippery! I just stood there for a minute or so to get the feel of things and see how to balance on the ice surface.
As I began to get a better sense for the blades, I gradually began shuffling my feet forward, in a walking-like motion. I was still hanging on to the railing, but as I moved along, I realized that skating was very similar to moving ahead on roller skates. So, I started to push off with one foot a little as I skated. It got easier and easier as I went until I finally could let go of the railing.
While balancing on skates was initially hard, what was a surprise to me is how simple it was to maneuver. Much easier than roller skates! I could turn in a variety of directions easily and the gliding felt almost effortless.
But just like the sidewalk outside, the ice wasn't completely flat. Since the rink was old and there was a little dripping coming from the ceiling, the moisture froze, and eventually accumulated into bumps on certain parts of the ice, especially around the border. I remember going over the bumps and it seemed a bit like the moguls on skis-something to be avoided at all costs! Hey, I just learned to balance myself; anything more than that was too much!
While falling was still a distinct possibility, I seemed to have the ability to balance fairly well. So I continued skating for about 45 minutes or so before I had to sit down for a break near my mom. She asked how I liked it and I told her,"I love it!" My mom was really happy for me, because she found a new action for her daughter to keep her out of trouble for the summer!
While I rested on the sidelines, I watched slightly older skaters perform all sorts of cool spins and jumps in the center of the rink. I laughed at myself as I just struggled to stand and skate forward in these contraptions known as"ice skates," and here these kids were almost dancing on the ice! I recall thinking to myself about how much I would love to learn how to do that!
Well, that first experience may have been a very long time ago, but I can still relate to new skaters and the challenges of starting in a new sport. Needless to say, it was different for me as a kid than it is for my adult students. But I need to say that after looking back, I wouldn't have changed a thing. Skating has been a huge part of my life and a huge passion. But a lot has changed in skating and like all sports it has evolved-thank goodness!
1 huge change is that ice rinks today don't have a tendency to be dingy and old, but are typically either stand alone buildings, or are part of a sports complex, or are smaller venues in shopping malls. They're frequently preserved well and are beautiful. Back then, it was a different culture. Rinks were often family owned and there was a certain amount of prestige associated with learning to skate in a dingy place and end up in some large, glamorous competition. It was mostly about competition, and amenities beyond the principles were thought to make you soft. Hey, if you could not skate in some run-down construction with only the bare essentials, how can you stand the pressure of a huge audience in a competition?
The ice was also different. These days, many rinks have more than 1 sheet of ice and are open all year! There are even some rinks that are outdoors, like one place in Vail, Colorado. I once skated on an outdoor rink in Canada at a park surrounded by a shopping area that was quite lovely, and had a friend who skated in a rink in New York that she said is in a building high over the city! The rink was suspended on one of the floors of the building with windows all around it. That is a far cry from the rinks 40 years back.
Today, the ice is frequently equally as beautiful as the rinks. It is often cleaned every one and a half to two hours in most rinks today so there should be no lumps on the ice and the temperature is maintained so there are no drips from the ceiling creating the obstacle course which I experienced in the old Ballard Ice Rink. And surprisingly, the temperatures in many rinks are rather warm.
The one thing though that's still questionable is the skating equipment, specifically the rental ice skates.
The sport has grown so much and the environment in skating rinks has changed a lot so the experience for beginners is a great deal more fulfilling. A whole lot of rinks have games and amenities in the lobbies such as snack bars and skating stores. They are quite pleasant today and do a lot more to make the beginner feel welcomed and appreciated.
Ice skating is a wonderful sport and holds something for everyone and individuals of all ages. I did the vast majority of my skating as an adult and it kept me fit and in great shape for ages. It's great exercise! But, it's also a sport that builds character, teaches grace and makes you powerful. And, it's so much fun! I invite folks of all ages to give this game a try and see the difference it makes in your life; physically and psychologically.
They honey bee is a sophisticated insect which has developed over millions of years. The oldest bee discovered was in Myanmar enclosed in an amber resin and has been dated as 100 million years old and most likely originated from the Far East. In those early days, the bees were more like wasps, eating other insects as opposed to nectar and pollen.
When it comes to history people commonly consider things which are no longer being used. After all, if something is still in use then it wouldn't be historical. Just because something is in use today does not mean it was not around years ago. Many foods had particular meaning or importance throughout history, with honey being a prime example. Honey was so special, for example, that it's been discovered in the tombs of ancient pharaohs and edible!
1 significant reason that honey has such a historic importance comes in the sweetness. In ancient times however, this just was not an option. Anything that was naturally sweet was considered a rare, and so an expensive, treat. This naturally made it more special, and elevated it from being viewed as just a food, but also a symbol. Because of the taste, it also had significance to a lot of religious groups, together with the sweetness representing a type of purity. Another reason that it was seen as pure is because of certain medical practices.

The typical meal system of Americans is petrifying. We have our Cappuccino on how to work with a sausage, egg, and muffin. At lunch, we go out with the gang and indulge. Dinner time rolls around and because of our hectic lifestyles we've created for ourselves, common sense, and standard food preparation go out the window.
That part we know. However, knowing how to turn that situation into something positive is something we can all learn about. Did you know that for many people with Critter Control, it is a combination of two things. Our diets aren't conducive to maintaining a flat stomach, and our exercise amounts are not enough to reduce our caloric intake to a moderate level.
Have you ever noticed that lanky man with the enormous beer belly? It's not coincidence. It is almost elementary math, however there is something else. Certain body types and body systems process sugars otherwise. Some can metabolize it quickly. Normally though, that surplus sugar leads to bad results. Your belly can usually vouch for you.
It wasn't until I found a system that was so brain dead easy that I truly understood what was happening. Now, over 2 years later, I still revel in the simple fact of how stupid my food choices were. Worse yet, I didn't know how to alter them, for the long run, so that I could not only lose weight and fit into pants I didn't possess, but also to live a happier life, which I always wanted.
The fantastic news is that you have choices. This is America after all, the home of the free, land of the fast food. The government doesn't force us to eat anything we do not want to eat, unless we are in prison.

Over the last twenty years dermatologists have observed a gradual increase in the number of women and men experiencing problems relating to hair loss. In attempting to stop thinning hair it's important to comprehend the underlying reasons why thinning hair occurs and what external factors could be causing it. While hereditary factors play the best part in deciding if a man is going experience thinning hair in addition, there are many other factors that can play a part.
The issue of thinning hair is the most common in men, with over 40% of men under the age of 35 experiencing some hair thinning. Men who suffer from baldness typically start with a receding hairline and thinning at the crown. The hair loss slowly progresses to a bald spot at the crown and eventually complete hair on the top of the scalp. It's now universally accepted that the most common cause of thinning hair in men is attributed to a compound derived from testosterone called dyhydrotestosterone (DHT).
While generally thought of as a male problem, thinning hair now affects over 40% of women over age 40. While male hair loss displays a definite pattern, women's hair loss tends to occur as an overall thinning this is often called"diffuse thinning". There are many causes for thinning hair in woman and it's important to get a GPs diagnosis before attempting to treat the condition. Certain conditions such as pregnancy, childbirth, overactive thyroid and menopause may affect the hormone balance and these can all contribute to thinning hair. Other factors that can result in thinning hair in women are brought about by the use of extreme hair treatments such as colorants, perms and hot oil treatments. These may inflame the scalp resulting in damage to the hair follicles.
There are a now a large number of hair loss prevention and re-growth treatments available for both men and women. One of the key treatments that can stop thinning hair and stimulate growth is a topical solution containing a component called minoxidil. Additionally, there are several shampoos for thinning hair that work by taking away the damaging DHT compound from the scalp. There's also a treatment called Finasteride that is clinically proven to stop thinning hair but only works for men. Based on the precise type of hair loss a few of these treatments might have to be used regularly to prevent hair loss reoccurring.
While there are many effective treatments available to stop thinning hair it may take several months before results are noticed. In this time there are many products and techniques which may be employed to make the existing hair appear thicker and healthier. Hair loss conditioners may thicken the hair shafts by as much as 300% and blow drying hair may also be used to create thinning hair look substantially thicker. Certain hair designs are also better suited to thinning hair, generally shorter hair is better, growing hair more time to cover up thinning hair isn't recommended.
The reasons why thinning hair occurs can be diverse and complicated but it's very important to understand what the underlying problems are before proceeding with the right course of treatment. Hair loss treatments are now much more powerful than they were ten years ago and it is now possible to prevent thinning hair in the vast majority of cases.

When you eat carbohydrates, your body breaks them down into sugars, like glucose, which can be then used to fuel the muscles and organs in your body, particularly the brain. Hypoglycemia is a condition where your body secretes too much insulin and as a result sends your blood glucose too low for your body to perform normal functions. When this happens and your body becomes starved for energy, you will see the physical and psychological side effects of hypoglycemia. This problem is very treatable and may even be treated naturally if you recognize how it works.
When hypoglycemia isn't treated properly there are many possible symptoms that you might see.
Lots of people who believe they have hypoglycemia don't know why they have it or who's very likely to get it. Hypoglycemia is common in teens which are taking blood sugar lowering medication for diabetes. It is also possible for overdoses of alcohol, insulin, or other diabetes medication to cause hypoglycemia in people that are otherwise healthy.
Hypoglycemia is otherwise quite rare in teens and adults and yet many men and women are under the mistaken belief that they might have hypoglycemia. Since hypoglycemia has so many distinct symptoms that overlap with numerous other health problems it is very possible for someone to recognize symptoms that they have and relate them to hypoglycemia, when in fact it can be something else. If you are concerned that you might have hypoglycemia or something with the very same symptoms, it is recommended that you visit palm bay, fl squirrel control services to get a definitive opinion on what may be wrong.
If you do have hypoglycemia, do not panic. There are lots of manageable ways to treat it, including naturally via your diet. When attempting to treat hypoglycemia naturally, you need to be careful not to introduce too much sugar into your system as this could send your blood glucose too high and cause another set of problems. If you feel you are suffering from hypoglycemia, the overall treatment is to eat 15g of carbohydrates. There are glucose pills available that are 15 g of glucose, or you can attempt 15ml (3tsp) of sugar blended into water, 175ml of juice or soft drink, or 15ml of honey. If your symptoms persist you should be sure to see your doctor because these methods of naturally treating hypoglycemia aren't fool proof.
While being able to treat hypoglycemia naturally is fine, it is not to be taken lightly. Hypoglycemia is a serious illness and it is recommended that you talk with your physician before going ahead with treating yourself naturally.

In the event you recognize the following scenarios, your "owner" standing in your house might have been changed without even being aware of it.
The Cat Eats Anything She Wants to You have probably introduced your feline pet with a variety of cat foods, yet he's turned his nose away from them. Humans that cats own are aware that when you discover the food they enjoy, you have to stick with it. This might be a particular taste on a strange day, and some other flavor on an even day, which can be set in the microwave for eight minutes and presented on beautiful china. Is this not letting him eat with pleasure?
You're positive your cat owns you when you often work near your cat wherever that could be. This could include folding laundry at a later time when you see him sleeping inside the basket, going over him to prepare lunch when he's lying on the floor of the kitchen, refraining from using the vacuum cleaner when he's near, or choosing another chair when he's occupying your usual seat.
Throughout the years, you have purchased lots of balls, small mice and bouncy or squeaky cat toys. After playing with them for a few minutes, he becomes tired, but you continue to bring home toys for a brief moment of happiness. Even if you're aware of this, you don't mind at all.
When you bring out your own phone, check the amount of cat pictures in comparison with the number of pictures of human relatives. Just how far should you go through photographs of your furry pet to attain your jolly spouse or kid? There's nothing more to say.
There isn't any reason for your cat to go downstairs merely to drink. This question is extremely reasonable when you are owned by your cat. You may have water dishes and cups of water in many different rooms in the house. When your cat sticks his nose within your water glass, do you scold him or let him drink to his heart's desire, and get some other glass? When the latter is the answer, your cat owns you.
Even when you say that you are the boss, when it comes to this, are you? Even with of your best efforts to oppose this, it would be better to resign from your position and let yourself be a human. This is since you will never win this battle.
Everyone has become a fight with a friend. This is extremely common among us. We fight due to West Melbourne Wildlife Removal disagreements. We fight because of conflict of interests. We fight because we believe we know better. We say things we don't really mean and we end up hurting the person we care about.
But often times, people who fight become even better friends in the process. Losing a friend can be very hard. It's never easy to let go of someone whom you have trusted, someone whom you've shared all of your secrets and dreams with, and somebody whom you've learned to love. If you think your friend is a truly fantastic person, then it is always right to give that friend a second chance. Everyone deserves a second chance. And that includes you.
So what's the secret to get a friend back? Apologize. Cliche as it might sound but it is the one thing that you can do in order to win your buddy back. Do not waste time waiting for your buddy to apologize first just because you think you're the person who deserves an apology. Fights have both wrong and right sides but that really does not matter. Apologizing is the most effective strategy to win a friend back. If you don't want to lose your friend, decrease your pride and apologize.
This is highly effective because when someone apologizes to them, it makes them feel that you've done something nice to them and they will feel an immediate need to return the favor. Most likely, your friend will apologize to you in the procedure.
Funny thing is, the less at fault you are, the more your friend will feel the need to apologize to you because he will feel that you're the one who deserves an apology.
But whoever apologizes first doesn't really matter. What matters is you understand that true friends are hard to find and you're not prepared to give up a beautiful friendship with your friend just because of a one time argument.
Marriage proposals are extremely romantic. Even though the man asking the Melbourne Beach Wildlife Removal woman to get married is very nervous, the entire thought of being proposed to could be quite dreamy. Couples seclude themselves to build a moment until the guy finds the right time to pop the question. For sure, when love is strong, the woman won't hesitate to say yes. However, following this romantic moment, a good deal of things are waiting to happen and needs to be considered.
Build a checklist or a schedule for your wedding to make it more organized.
If you have no idea what sort of wedding you want, you can catch wedding favors and check out things that could possibly motivate you to create a theme.
Speak to your partner concerning the budget. Try to think about the maximum limit.
Start thinking about the different services you'll be hiring. Including the caterer, transportation, wedding videography, photography, or even the designer to your own clothes.
Create a tentative guests record so you can have an eye view of the maximum people expected to come.
As soon as you've set the date, reserve the wedding location as early as possible. Occasionally, it can be cheaper when done on off-peak seasons.
Do not forget the flowers. A wedding is not complete without it. Talk with the florist as soon as possible so that they can secure the amount of flowers you want to be present in your wedding day.
This is the ideal way to break the news to them and announce that you have a date.
Ask some of your friends to help out, likely your sisters or your closest friends. It is possible to run to them for information. Even better, if you want to have a lesser load to your wedding, hire a wedding planner and they will carry out what you want for your wedding.
Planning should not be difficult for weddings. You will need to start the general items like hamburgers, transportations, wedding videographies or even clothes. As soon as you have identified all of the general items, go into the specifics and this is where you tag these items so you will know where to go and what to want. As soon as you've established all these things, you are on your way to plan a great wedding regardless of what the budget will be.
It is normal to be confused about how to begin planning for your wedding day. Take these tips and it will pave a way to getting into the details of the wedding.
People love big, protective and loving dogs and that is why there are a lot of german sheperd breeders.
The German Shepherd is sometimes called Titusville Opossum Removal an Alsatian because that is where they originated in Germany. Many Germans still called them Deutscher Schaferhund because of their original sheepdog function but the strain is not very old and was really developed from many different sheep herding farm dogs in the late 1800s. In 1899 Max von Stephanitz, a German cavalry officer, was president of the first German Shepherd association in Germany. Since that time German Shepherds have turned up all over the world and they came to the USA as early as 1908 where they were popular with the Red Cross, the police and as guard dogs.
This was partly as they're incredibly loyal and courageous dogs and they are very intelligent and retain specialized training for a long time. Temperament is what ensures that the usefulness of the German Shepherd and because this comes from good breeding it is vital to find a good and reputable breeder. With a poor temperament these dogs are a disaster. They are highly territorial and will know and recognize their people and place by about six months old. That is when their protective devotion begins to show itself!
There are many german sheperd breeders and you should have no problem finding a good one, but just bear in mind that they come in a array of colours and will protect you no matter what!
Sleep eight hours a day. Exercise.
There are several truisms about staying healthy that we sometimes don't use due diligence in determining whether West Melbourne Squirrel Removal the advice given to us is even true. Then there are the old wives' tales, passed down from one generation to the next, that often disregard the difference between fiction and fact. Below, you'll get a list of 10 of the most common health clichés out there.
Weighing in at just over 1.4 kilograms (3 lb), the human brain is home to almost 100 billion neurons. They transmit information to each other across gaps called synapses, where the brain has almost one quadrillion.
The brain is sectioned into three primary parts-the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem. The cerebrum composes roughly 85 percent of the organ and is responsible for a lot of the higher-level functioning we associate with being human. Seated below it, you will discover that the cerebellum, which controls basic coordination and balance. And finally, you have the brain stem.
Wouldn't it be amazing if all of this processing is just making use of 10 percent of the brain's bandwidth?
Alas, this "fact" is utterly wrong. We're not sure where the claim that we only use 10 percent of our brains came out, but it seemed to percolate from the late Victorian age. In the late 1890s, Harvard psychologists William James and Boris Sidis used the latter's wunderkind (his IQ was almost 300) as proof that all humans must have the capability to be smart. We just need to try harder.
Further research at the start of the 20th century found that rats with cerebral damage could be retaught certain tasks. This was used to reinforce the already weak case that our mind is full of untapped potential. Regrettably, this factoid is completely ridiculous with no basis in modern science. Just reading this paragraph uses over 10 percent of your brain. Oh well.
After swallowing a particularly large piece of bubblegum, a lot of you may remember being horrified to hear that your digestive tract would spend the next seven years trying to digest it. If your seven years isn't up yet, you might be relieved to learn that this "fact" is complete crap.
While it's not advisable to swallow your chewing gum, what happens to it is not all that exciting. Excess ingredients like sweeteners may be digested, but the bulk of the gum is an elastomer which gets moved through your digestive tract without being broken down. Then the gum comes out the other end through the excretory system and is usually unscathed.
Otherwise, they leak like junk down a stream, right out the other end.
As if puberty, high school, and those teenage years aren't hard enough, many of us grew up learning that our chocolate ingestion had a causal connection with breakouts. Pretty awful that chocolate, the one thing that makes adolescence bearable, lights up your face with ugly zits.
Eating chocolate will not allow you to break out. However, eating foods high in fat and sugar can increase your body's natural sebum production, making your skin oilier. Furthermore, those unhealthy foods lead to high levels of skin inflammation.
However, will chocolate-or any food for that matter-make your skin break out? The answer to that is a resounding no. Eating high levels of fatty foods will definitely trip up your blood sugar, which can indirectly affect breakout levels. However, no single food item is the golden ticket to avoiding teenage pimples.
The fantasy that carrots will improve your eyesight is wrapped up in a twisted history of wartime propaganda. To be fair, carrots are great sources of beta-carotene, an inactive retinol that is transformed into vitamin A during digestion. Vitamin A provides all sorts of benefits to the body, including the protection of eyesight.
But does it really enhance one's nighttime vision?
No. The British Ministry of Information conducted a campaign during World War II that suggested pilots in the Royal Air Force were eating huge amounts of carrots, explaining their uncanny ability to shoot down German fighter pilots under the veil of darkness. Truth is, all the carrots in the world couldn't give you the gift of nocturnal sight.
British troops were warding off German bombers with novel technology in the time-airborne interception radar. It's unlikely that German intelligence bought into the notion that British pilots were fueled by high-octane carrots.
Yet, in the almost century since, the Western world's overall public has stayed firm believers that if they eat enough of the orange stuff, their eyes will thank them. We hate to be the ones to break it to you, but you're not likely to get night vision anytime soon.
This one should be easy, right? The belief that we have five senses dates back to the time of Greek philosopher Aristotle, who was the first to discern the five distinct senses of the human body.
Yes, these are five of your senses. But they aren't the only ones.
Let's start with the basics. What is a "sense"? Well, it is something with a detector that can perceive a given stimulus. Every sense is activated by a unique phenomenon.
In fact, the sense of touch is actually much more complex than just a single sensation. Many neurologists break down "touch" into divergent sensations, including perceptions of stress, temperature, and pain.
Based on whom you ask, people have as many as 33 senses. These include some senses, like blood pressure and equilibrium that you knew you had but did not count as a "sense" So, next time someone says they have a sixth sense, you could respond by saying you've 33. They might not know exactly what you mean by that, but you'll know!
A lot people can remember being taught, by a biology teacher no less, our ability to roll up our tongues was simple genetic fate. Nearly all people can roll their tongues, and societal wisdom held that tongue rolling was a dominant genetic trait. If either of your parents could do it, so could you.
In reality, it is not that easy. Unlike many of these human body myths, we have a fantastic idea from where this one came. In 1940, American geneticist Alfred Sturtevant published a study that concluded that your tongue-rolling ability was a hereditary characteristic based on a dominant gene.
However, Sturtevant's exuberance over his finding was short-lived. People realized quickly that there were identical twins where one could roll his tongue and the other could not. Because of this, Sturtevant's findings were swiftly debunked, with the man at the helm conceding defeat.
And yet, decades later in classrooms throughout the world, this falsehood is being spread anew. Now you know the truth, you can stop the madness from spreading the next time somebody unveils this unique parlor trick.
Between the fantasy that we only use 10 percent of our brains and the prevailing belief that we lose the majority of our body heat through our heads, it seems like our craniums can not catch a break. A prevailing hypothesis on the origin of this myth: Scientists conducted research in the 1950s in which subjects were exposed to low temperatures and lost a solid chunk of the heat through their noggins.
The problem with this study is that the subjects were bundled up in coats and only their heads were exposed to the elements. So yes, if each part of your body is insulated and your mind is not, you'll lose a disproportionate quantity of body heat through your head.
So, treat your head like every other part of the body. When it's cold, package it up and everything will be fine.
This "reality" about the human body is sort of creepy, is not it? The idea that protein shards of keratin keep growing at our extremities in the days and weeks after we die is freaky. Well, we're here to let you know that it's not really correct.
Our bodies dehydrate rather rapidly once we die. At these times, our skin starts wrinkling and pulls inward. This gives the illusion that our hair and nails are still growing. To the contrary, the rest of the body is merely shrinking. Because of this, morticians will often lather corpses in moisturizer to keep them from pruning up.
Arthritis isn't a single condition but instead a catchall term for a group of pain disorders characterized by joint aches, swelling, and inflammation. Arthritis can be mild or debilitating.
Obviously, if you're able to stay away from activities linked to arthritis, you should. For many health-conscious people, this includes a seemingly simple request-don't crack your knuckles. However, we are here to tell you that cracking your knuckles does not make the list in your fight to prevent arthritis.
That popping sound is associated with bubbles bursting on your synovial fluid (the substance that greases your joints). As bad as that sounds, a cross-study analysis by doctors at Harvard Medical School found no evidence that cracking one's knuckles has a causal link to arthritis.
That said, you still may want to give up the habit. Chronic knuckle cracking is connected to poorer grip power.
Who hasn't heard this one? Not only will the hair grow back, we're told, but it will grow back faster and darker than before.
This is absolutely false. In fact, we've known this is not true for quite some time. One of the first contemporary studies on the issue took place in 1928. The engaging men all shaved in the exact same manner with the identical brand of shaving cream. Then their subsequent new hairs have been examined for increased rates of growth.
A whole lot of this myth comes down to perception. As our hair grows back, we may be influenced by our preexisting biases. Additionally, when you wax or shave off hair, it is like chopping down a tree and leaving the stump.
Alas, any changes in growth speed could result from underlying hormonal changes. But otherwise, it is all in your head!

Gonzalez Struggles, Leaves Early in 5-2 Loss
By Scott Bline

Gio Gonzalez (3-4) followed up his shortest outing of the season last Sunday with one of the shortest outings of his career, lasting only three innings Saturday afternoon in a 5-2 loss to the New York Mets.
In Oakland last Sunday Gonzalez completed only 4 1/3 innings, surrendering seven earned on nine hits. Saturday Gonzalez fell behind quickly to the Mets, allowing five straight batters to reach base in the first and ultimately giving up three quick runs. In the third inning, the Mets tacked on two more on a Juan Lagares home run.
Gonzalez has struggled all season through the first three innings. In fact, his ERA of 6.75 through the first three is his worst by far, and he carries with him an ERA of 10.12 in the first frame. Saturday only added to his misery. For the day, Gonzalez finished with a line of three innings pitched with seven hits and five earned runs.
Opposing Gonzalez was the 40 year old Bartolo Colon (3-5). Colon, with a heavy dose of fastballs, challenged the Nationals hitters all afternoon and ultimately completed eight innings, striking out five while allowing two earned runs on five hits.
The two Nats runs came courtesy of Ian Desmond's sixth home run of the season. Desmond now has 24 RBIs on the season, tying him with Anthony Rendon for the Nats lead. Desmond has now driven in runs in four of his last five contests, which is the first time he's done that since early April. Desmond also finished the day with two hits, securing multiple hits in two of his last three games. Both are encouraging signs that Desmond is beginning to climb out of the offensive black cloud he's been under all season long.
Relieving Gonzalez, Craig Stammen completed his longest outing of the season, allowing one hit in four innings while striking out two. Stammen also recorded his first hit of the season, doubling to deep right in the fifth.
The Nats received good news Friday when first baseman Adam LaRoche tested his strained quad and found no lingering pain. He hopes to return as soon as his stay on the disabled list is completed on May 25th.
With an Atlanta Braves loss earlier in the day, the Nationals briefly were tied for first place in the East. The Nats look to get back to their winning ways Sunday afternoon in the rubber match of the series as Jordan Zimmerman faces off against Zack Wheeler.

Shrimp Parasite Causing Mass Die-Off In Georgia, South Carolina As Black Gill Disease Spreads
By Harriet McLeod
CHARLESTON, S.C., Nov 3 (Reuters) - The size of wild shrimp hauls off the southern Atlantic coast have plunged in recent months as a parasite has made it harder for the creatures to breathe, according to state wildlife officials in Georgia and South Carolina.
Experts said they believe black gill disease, caused by a tiny parasite, contributed to a die-off of white shrimp between August and October, typically the prime catch season.
The disease does not kill shrimp directly but hurts their endurance and makes them more vulnerable to predators.
"It's like the shrimp are smoking three packs of cigarettes a day, and now they're having to go run a marathon," said Mel Bell, director of South Carolina's Office of Fisheries Management.
"Shrimpers are reporting to us that they dump the bag on the deck, and the shrimp are just dead."
South Carolina shrimpers hauled in 44,000 pounds of shrimp in September, less than 6 percent of the September, 2012 catch of more than 750,000 pounds, Bell said.
The August take was down nearly 75 percent from the same month the previous year, he said.
Georgia shrimpers have caught fewer than half the number they usually catch in August, September and October, said Patrick Geer, chief of marine fisheries for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
Wild-caught shrimp generate $6 million to $8-million in annual revenue in South Carolina and about $12 million a year in Georgia, officials said.
Bell said the shrimp is safe to eat as long as it has not spoiled. The parasite is only on its gills, which come off when the head is removed for human consumption.
A shrimp company operator in Florida said she had not seen black gill disease there this year.
"We have seen it in the past in Florida, but it's when the shrimp in Georgia have moved down," said Marilyn Solorzano, who operates Miss Marilyn Louise Shrimp Co. on the St. Johns River in Jacksonville.
"There haven't been enough shrimp in Georgia this year to move down to Florida," she said.
Researchers in Georgia are studying the life cycle of the parasite that causes black gill disease in hopes of finding a way to combat it, Geer said.
Officials blamed drought for earlier outbreaks in the last decade, but this year the U.S. Southeast saw record rainfall.
Too much rain changed water salinity and upset the delicate balance of salt and fresh water in the creeks where shrimp grow up, Bell said.
"When the shrimp are stressed, they're susceptible to being infected with the parasite," he said.
Wildlife agency officials in Georgia will meet with the state's shrimp association this month to determine just how bad the crop has been.
If data indicate a major decline, Georgia will apply for relief funds from the National Marine Fisheries Service, Geer said.
South Carolina officials have not determined whether to seek disaster relief, Bell said.
Tommy Edwards, a veteran shrimper in Charleston, said he is barely getting by.
"I'm not making any money," said Edwards, 52. "Normally, we have enough money where we're set for the winter and repairs and so forth, but we don't have enough for a month's worth of bills."
Black gill disease tends to taper off as waters get colder in November, officials said. (Editing by Colleen Jenkins and Ellen Wulfhorst)

Why diversity and inclusion matter in menopause support
ArticlesMenopause at Work
We live in a multicultural, non-binary world. Which is why menopause support at work needs to have a strong diversity and inclusion focus.
At Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace, our focus is on menopause.
There are so many reasons why it's urgent and important for employers to take it seriously. It can cause symptoms that happen as a result of significant hormonal change.
And hormonal changes can also be experienced during other times of life, such as when undergoing fertility treatment, hormonal treatments, or caused by certain illnesses. It's a much wider community than we often realise. We need to make sure we're fully inclusive in all our conversations around menopause.
Trans and non-binary people can experience menopausal symptoms due to changes in hormones. These can fluctuate, as treatments can often stop and start again. And it's important for employers to understand that for those undergoing a medical transition, the whole process takes up to seven years.
"We know that language can often be a barrier to conversations, and organisations that start with this tend to struggle," says Rachel Reese, founder of Global Butterflies, a company which brings awareness of trans and non-binary issues to the business sector. "It's important for organisations to get to know their people simply as human beings, know their name, then their pronouns. That's when people will start to open up.
"Not every trans or non-binary takes hormones. A person can change their gender expression – the way they publicly express or present their gender – without any type of medical intervention. Those undergoing a medical transition will need to take hormones, and come off them regularly for procedures.
"This can cause symptoms similar to those experienced during menopause, such as sleeplessness, fatigue, lack of concentration, mood swings and hot sweats. It's a rollercoaster, with hormone treatments stopping and starting creating a cycle of symptoms."
Supporting the wider community
For the University of Bradford, diversity and inclusion was a huge part of their considerations when writing their menopause support guidance. They wanted to make sure everyone across the whole organisation had the tools to start a conversation. As a result they're shortlisted for a Diversity and Inclusion award from CIPD this September. We hope they win!
"Around 60% of our staff are over 40. And everybody is affected by menopause in some way, whether directly or supporting others," says senior HR business partner Kate Rogers. In raising awareness, we wanted this to be about how we could offer support to all our staff, as well as the wider community."
The University developed documentation for supporting menopause and hormonal changes in the workplace, with a symptom checklist for added guidance. They involved a wide range of stakeholders, including the equality forums – particularly the gender forum and n-able, the disability forum – as well as trade unions.
"We were conscious that we hadn't been able to include all groups in our initial training, and decided to continue the conversations," says Kate. "We had a group of around 120 cleaners from a range of communities and cultures, and we wanted to make sure our support extended properly to them.
"One of the group helped to engage the others so we could find the right way to hold discussions. We held an early-morning session, with small groups on tables. It was women only – culturally many would not discuss these issues with men in the room. They could speak in the language of their choice and sit where they were most comfortable.
"These can be very intimate issues and we wanted everyone to get the most from the conversations."
But we also include men in our campaign.
The University also amended their documentation for with English as a second language. They also provided written material and resources, to support people who didn't have online access.
Better engagement
For organisations seeking to reach wider communities, diversity and inclusion is a key focus. Engaging groups, talking to people, asking what they'd like in terms of support are all good ways to ensure the support is as far-reaching as possible.
"These aren't written in tablets of stone," adds Kate. "We might make mistakes along the way, but we recognise them and amend. Support for menopause and hormonal symptoms can evolve as we learn."

Ginger and lemongrass meatballs float in a bok choy miso broth for a warm, satisfying soup that will keep you cozy without weighing you down.
Italian wedding soup is always a winter favorite, because of the meatballs! So I wanted to do an Asian twist on one of my favs, and in my humble opinion, this soup gives the classic a run for its money. There is still the perfect marriage of meatballs and greens in a piping hot broth, just sans the Italian flavor.
The ginger lemongrass chicken meatballs are tender, juicy and packed with savory Asian flavor. Honestly the meatballs are fabulous on their own, so I highly recommend you make double and freeze half of them to have on hand for a rainy day.
The baby bok choy adds a subtle bitterness and slight sweetness. It also adds a ton of nutrients to the soup.
While the meatballs and the bok choy are fabulous, it is the miso broth that makes this soup stellar. It is slightly spicy, a smidgen salty, and explodes with umami flavor. It is healthy, light and seriously slurp-tastic. My tastebuds were definitely doing a happy dance with each loud gulp.
If you love meatballs, next be sure to make Jack Daniels Glazed Chicken Meatballs.
In a large bowl combine the chicken, panko, minced garlic, soy sauce, grated ginger, half the scallions, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, lemon grass, cilantro and 2 tablespoons of broth. Use your hands or a rubber spatula to gently mix, just until combined. Use your hands to scoop out about a tablespoon and form mixture into (1''-diameter) meatballs. Transfer to a plate or clean work surface lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all meatballs are formed.
In a medium pot over medium heat, combine remaining broth, water, Thai chili, smashed garlic, shallot, sliced ginger, 1 tablespoon fish sauce and remaining scallions. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove solids and discard. In a small bowl combine miso with 2 tablespoons of the broth and whisk to combine. Add the miso mixture to the pot of broth. Stir to combine.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add meatballs to skillet (in batches if necessary to not overcrowd the pan) and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and transfer to a clean plate.
Add the bok choy and crushed red pepper flakes to the broth. Simmer until bok choy is almost tender, about 3 minutes.
Add in the meatballs and bring broth back to a simmer. Simmer until meatballs are cooked through, about 5-8 minutes. Taste broth and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve garnished with scallions and crushed red pepper flakes.

Gatorade Created a Shop With a Secret Room Full of Tech-Driven Training Equipment
Inside the brand's SXSW activation
SXSW attendees could try their hand at some quarterback drills at Gatorade's pop-up store. Gatorade
Gatorade made its SXSW activation slightly deceptive. When attendees walk into the space they enter into the G-Store—a somewhat small pop-up shop filled to the brim with any and every possible Gatorade product you could imagine, from protein powder to classic Gatorade drinks.
Attendees are given iPads as soon as they enter the store and are asked to find products that fit in four different categories—hydration, energy, recovery and endurance—as part of an augmented reality experience. When the iPad is held up to the correct category, it displays some of the products in those categories. After unlocking all four categories, Gatorade then takes participants to the next stage of the activation.
At the back of the pop-up store, there's a wall of refrigerators filled with different colors of Gatorade. It may look like any regular convenience store display, but when visitors pull open the doors to one of the refrigerators, they open up into a massive back room with some lovely neon lighting.
While the front of the pop-up is designed to show off the wide variety of Gatorade products, the back is all about introducing SXSW attendees to how the brand is using technology to help athletes hone their skills. Overall, the whole activation is aimed at showing people that Gatorade is more than just a hydration company.
"The G-Store SXSW pop-up is a way for us to showcase how broad the Gatorade product portfolio really is—hydration, energy, recovery, endurance products and more—with a twist. While the retail shop spotlights innovative ways Gatorade is fueling athletes, the stockroom is a competitive playground that showcases how evolving technology is fueling athletes training," Gina Hardy, head of consumer and athlete engagement for Gatorade, said.
Tucked away in the back of the pop-up, Gatorade set up a number of tech-driven programs that are designed with athletes in mind. There's a station for basketball players where the Handles Hero machine uses Lazer 900 to dish out ball-handling drills. The Handless Hero is used by several NBA teams as a training tool that tracks how closely the player is dribbling to the moves that are being depicted on the screen in front of them.
Additionally, Gatorade set up several VR stations (called Beat the Blitz) where attendees can strap on a headset and run some quarterback drills with guidance from Peyton Manning. Once they've got the basics down, participants can run the drills, hitting moving and stationary targets while also trying to dodge some oncoming blitzes. The more you miss the targets and the more you get tackled, the more dehydrated you get. When your Gatorade bottles run out of fuel, you're out of the game.
There's also a RE/ACT Attack station that uses an interactive LED light training system to test and improve an athlete's reaction time, agility, speed and coordination.
"You can't be all things to all people, so I think the key to being successful, no matter where you are, is staying authentic to your brand. Gatorade is a sports fuel company. When you come to the G-Store SXSW pop-up, you're going to experience the different ways we fuel athletes—whether that's G ESSNTL, our new line of products made with minimal ingredients, or new technology like Beat the Blitz," Hardy added.
Gatorade is no stranger to SXSW. Last year, the brand had a similar tech-focused experience, but this year Gatorade took things to a new level.
"Our primary mission is the same," Hardy explained. "Reinforce that Gatorade has a more than 50-year history of studying the best athletes in the world, in the lab and on the field, and no one knows their fueling needs better. Similar to our previous activations here, we're demonstrating that through innovation that spans both products and tech."

Q: How to select MIN and MAX from another table I have two tables in postgresql: ITEM (ID, TYPE) and ITEM_DATA (TS, ITEM_ID) in 1:n relation. The first table is small and the second is huge. I would like to know the best way to select min and max from the table ITEM_DATA for each row of a select from the table ITEM. At this moment I have this select, but it's too slow:
SELECT
  I.*,
  (SELECT MIN(ID.TS) FROM ITEM_DATA ID WHERE ID.ITEM_ID=I.ID) AS MIN_TS,
  (SELECT MAX(ID.TS) FROM ITEM_DATA ID WHERE ID.ITEM_ID=I.ID) AS MAX_TS
FROM ITEM I
WHERE I.TYPE = 'X';

There is a primary key in the table ITEM_DATA which has two segments: TS and ITEM_ID and there is also an index on the table ITEM which has one segment: TYPE.
Is there a way how to make this query faster?

A: I think you should reverse the order of the columns of the PK on ITEM_DATA.

A: SELECT i.*, mima.mi, mima.ma
FROM item i
JOIN (
        SELECT DISTINCT item_id
        , MIN(ts) as mi
        , MAX(ts) as ma
        FROM item_data
        GROUP BY item_id
        ) mima ON mima.item_id = i.id
WHERE i.type = 'X'
        ;

And, yes: your query will benefit from an index
    CREATE INDEX ON item_data(item_id,ts);

Don't dash off – check out our Public Service Data Dashboards!
Sophie Davies
Categories: Data, ONS, Public Policy
Each year the ONS and government departments publish data which provide insight into the efficiency of public services. When these datasets are viewed separately, however, it can be hard to understand the bigger picture. Now the ONS Efficiency Measurement Unit has developed interactive dashboards on the Government Statistical Service website which aim to bring together a range of data in one place. Here Sophie Davies talks us through the new dashboards and explains how they fit in to the wider work ONS is doing on public service efficiency.
Dashboards are quickly becoming a widely-used tool for many analysts and organisations. With more data available than ever before, a dashboard can be a great way to analyse and present data quickly, in an interactive and accessible format. A huge array of data exists to help build the picture of public service efficiency, released in separate publications by a range of public service bodies. As a result, conversations tend to be about which data to use as opposed to what messages we can take from the data.
At the Office for National Statistics, we are helping to build a firm evidence base for assessing the efficiency of public service delivery; to inform Government policy and decision-making.
As a result, we have produced four dashboards which bring together a range of existing public service data covering: education, health, criminal justice and work and pensions. Each includes information on spend, inputs, outputs and outcomes. By bringing it together in one place into an interactive tool, we hope to enable users, from departments and HM Treasury through to the public, to have a shared understanding of the efficiency story.
As National Statistician, John Pullinger, has said "there is real value in this work; bringing data together to cut through the noise and make sense of the world around us".
To add value, we have also included extra information to help users understand the data used, by highlighting caveats and linking to underlying sources. We have attempted to provide an overview and starting point for those who wish to undertake further analysis but depending on the specific efficiency question, other data not included in the dashboard may be more appropriate.
Examples of what you might expect to find in the dashboards include teacher numbers, healthcare waiting times, housing benefit caseloads and criminal reoffending rates.
By drawing on wider sources of data, we are also developing a series of stories covering a range of efficiency related topics. The first two of these provide information on the characteristics of public sector workers and the productivity of the Fire and Rescue Services in the UK.
The dashboards are available here as experimental Beta versions.
Power BI's performance varies across web browsers. We suggest trying an alternative browser if the dashboard does not load
To continue improving these Beta products, we invite users of the dashboards to provide us with feedback to inform the next stage of development.[1] We are continuously striving to improve the quality of these dashboards and would welcome feedback on how they are being used and what improvements we should consider for future iterations. We will use feedback from users to determine the frequency with which these dashboards will be updated. If you have any queries or would like to provide feedback, please contact: efficiencymeasurementunit@ons.gov.uk
[1] A beta test is the second phase of software testing in which users from the intended audience try the product out.

This questionnaire is especially useful for people with some work experience. It is mostly used in career coaching situations.
Other interest questionnaires in the Test-Toolkit are the Interest H and the Interest L questionnaires. Interest H is a questionnaire to map interests in degree courses and related sectors. Interest L is a questionnaire specifically targeting lower secondary school education.
The ITS reports on three different levels.
Research has indicated that the Holland model is stable but can be complemented with a seventh factor, namely interest in ICT. This is not surprising, because – when the model was developed in 1958 – the ICT sector did not have its ubiquitous presence that it now has.
Realistic, Intellectual, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional, ICT.
Additionaly, the ITS reports on 40 sectors in which the above mentioned fields of interest are reflected. These sectors are areas of work that are also included in werk.nl, whereby suitable jobs and job vacancies can be found easily. Reference is made to the manual for a comprehensive description of all sectors.
Social tasks: Assisting, Solving conflicts, Convincing people, Motivating, Maintaining contact, Coaching people, Helping customers, Negotiating, Collaborating with colleagues, Influencing people, Advising people, Teaching, Management, Giving training and courses.
Motorised tasks: Working with your hands, Operating large machinery, Driving vehicles, Working with machinery, Repairing machinery, Working with electronic devices, Working with computers, Physical effort, Repairing electronic devices.
