Peter Andre addresses rumours wife Emily is pregnant
The couple already have two children together
Tags: Emily MacDonagh
Aussie singer Peter Andre has been forced to deny his wife Emily MacDonagh, 27, is expecting their third tot after a photo of the couple sparked rumours amongst fans.
The photo shows the loved-up couple looking down at Emily's stomach as Pete, 44, holds her waist.
Of course fans were left wondering whether the parents, who tied the knot in 2015, were expecting a new arrival.

One fan asked the star: "@MrPeterAndre are you expecting another one hehe!!! X."
To which the reality star replied: "She's lush. No not expecting."
But fans weren't too sad about the news as one wrote: "Look at you two – everyone should experience a love like that."
Another added: "Beautiful photo of you both."
The couple have Amelia, three, and Theo, seven months, together but they don't seem to have any plans to expand their brood in the near future.
During an appearance on ITV's Lorraine the host asked Pete: "Would you have any more children?"
To which Peter replied: "ABSOLUTELY not."
He jokingly added: "Unless they invent a 24-hour coffee system."

"I'm surviving on very little sleep, coffee is my best friend, but I'm very lucky, I have an amazing family."
Peter also has two other children Junior, 11, and Princess, nine, with ex-wife Katie Price.
The dad-of-four recently opened up about how Katie's son Harvey Price, 15, taught him "how to be a dad".

Peter was a father figure to the teen during his marriage to the former glamour model between 2005 and 2009.
Speaking to Sydney's KIIS FM the reality star admitted: "The first child that taught me how to be a dad was Harvey."
This comes shortly after Pete wished Harvey a happy birthday earlier this week.
"Happy birthday to a very special boy:))) hope you like your prezzies," he wrote.
Fans were more than happy to see the two still have a close bond despite Katie and Pete's messy divorce.
One wrote: "Aww you're a great dad. Shame you're not recognised now as his dad. He will still remember you as his dad."
"Unconditional love," another said.

Thanks for the star wars hamill interview, geektwins. It was fun just listening to Hamill reminisce about the old days and the movie.
Pat Dilloway April 29, 2015 at 3:06 PM
In 1983 I would have killed to be on the set of the movie like his kid.
Maurice Mitchell April 29, 2015 at 10:15 PM
Tell me about it Pat. If I could go back in time they'd be wondering who the black guy photobombing all the photos is
It is fun Spacerguy and who knew he'd be back so many years later.
It is exciting Alex and his head peeking out is awesome
jeremy [retro] April 30, 2015 at 2:21 AM
all those images, it's like Mark knew we would still be talking about the films... his family hopefully gets the magnitude those films changed the lives of many. as it created a new fandom, much like Star Trek...we found our home in a place many will never see... the stars, planets and other races.
Karen Woodham April 30, 2015 at 8:32 AM
Amazing photos, I would loved to have been there while they were being taken, absolutely love Star Wars, I remember seeing the first one, the first time it was released, totally blew me away.

Battle Group Ops - RESDES (Rescue Destroyer. HMAS Brisbane & USS America Persian Gulf 1984.
Part of being involved with the 'Battle Group' is taking your turn as' Plane Guard' or RESDES. The same job the ill fated HMAS Voyager and USS Frank E. Evans were carrying out when they collided disastrously with aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne in 1964 and 1969 respectively. The job was simple enough, just sit off her quarter about 1 mile and be there should one of her aircraft be forced to ditch in the sea.
The carriers also fly aircraft on and off continuously, 24 hrs per day, whether a ship is alongside refuelling or not, the hiss of the steam catapult, the deafening roar of the jet fighters and bombers, and main broadcast announcements all adding to the atmosphere.
One night in 1981 whilst operating with America it was decided at midnight we would go up alongside to carry out a 'Jackstay' transfer. It was the middle of the monsoon season in the Nth West Indian Ocean and there was a huge swell running. USS America, so as to enable her to continue flying ops steamed into the wind and we were to take up station 100 feet off her starboard side from which position to commence the transfer. It was a filthy night and we had the swell from directly astern, our Chief Coxswain had been medivac ed out of the ship in Trincomalee and CPOUC Max Turner was on the wheel. Steering was difficult as the swell picked up the stern, lifted it out of the water and surfed her in whichever direction she wanted.
After a very laborious approach we finally made it alongside and commenced passing the lines. Max was wrestling hard with the helm finding it extremely difficult to keep on course as the swell drove us in its own direction, (reminiscent of a shopping trolley). As we finally 'hooked up' an extraordinary wave picked up our stern and surfed us in toward America. The distance started closing rapidly, and the entire RAS Party turned, looked up at the towering aircraft carrier, threatening to engulf them. We were moving quickly now and we could see the Yank sailors looking down upon us from the overhangs.
Memories flashed through my mind about the US Cruiser 'Belknap' getting too close and being sucked into to a carrier's vortex and being pulverized, caught beneath the carriers overhangs. It now seemed as if we were going to 'touch' and I looked at my 40 or so seamen manning the jackstay, they were recovering it as quickly as possible as the distance between the two ships closed, all the while, heads turned, eyes wide, watching this big steel monster loom over us in the pitch black night.
Captain Jim Dixon, having had enough games for one evening, calmly advised the Navigating Officer to quote 'get us out of here!' We increased revolutions on main engines and put the wheel over 20 degrees to starboard and at last finally started pulling away from America. The sailors standing down aft on the quarterdeck almost being able to reach over the guardrail and touch America's Hull as we did so.
Brisbane heeled over and we carried out an emergency breakaway. I again looked at the relieved faces of the RAS Party and could tell many had thought they were going to die this night, but never one flinched. Apart from having to make up a new Jackstay no damage was done and the new blokes would at last have a dit to spin at the next beer issue!
Below is a sketch from the HMAS Brisbane 1981 cruise book commemorating the event - it was sketched by The Webmaster.

The right to repair and the fight against planned aging
We are used to using and throwing away. Clothes are a year for us, not only because they go out of style, but because they deteriorate quickly. A mobile phone over two years old is obsolete, as is a car over five years old. This is not random, but a very calculated strategy.
This frenzy of purchases and constant renewal generates large amounts of waste, especially electronics, which European Union, more than 2500 million tons year. As he explains "Buy, Film, Buy" documentary produced by RTVE., manufacturers market products that are designed to break or become non-functional. For example, lithium batteries inevitably lose their ability to charge over time, but this should not force us to replace the entire cell phone instead of replacing the battery.
For example, in 2017, Apple was forced by US law to offer battery replacements for the iPhone 6 and later at a discounted price after it was discovered that the company was deliberately slowing down older phones with each charge. Software updates with excuses. About extending battery life.
According to one Eurobarometer survey79% of EU citizens believe that manufacturers should be required to facilitate the repair of digital devices or the replacement of their loose parts, while 77% prefer to have their devices repaired instead of buying a new one.
On 7 April, the European Parliament set priorities for the 'right to repair', which will lead to a Commission proposal scheduled for the third quarter of 2022. Achieve a circular economy model by 2050Which means sharing, renting, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as many times as possible to extend their life cycle.
The right to repair and its enemies
Planned obsolescence is present in many products today, from cars to telephones and household appliances. The origin of planned obsolescence is attributed to the US automobile industry, in the 1920s the automobile market in this country was saturated and sales began to decline. To prevent this, General Motors executive Alfred P. Sloan Jr. proposed to release new models every year.
In addition to cars, planned obsolescence affects all electronics, from computers to mobile phones, home appliances, computer software, fashion, shoes, toys, manuals or even furniture. Right to Repair is a movement that began in the early 2000s in response to the growing amount of electronic waste generated. The goal of the movement is to make it easier for consumers to repair their devices rather than replace them.
In 2012, the US state of Massachusetts became the first to pass a right-to-repair law requiring manufacturers to make diagnostic and repair information available to independent repair shops and individual consumers. In the same year, the European Union approved the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive, which requires manufacturers to provide consumers with information on how to repair their products.
The directive also set standards for the collection and recycling of e-waste. Several member states have adopted laws based on this directive, such as a program in Sweden to exchange their old appliances for new ones at a discount, or a law in Finland that introduced a law requiring manufacturers to sell spare parts for appliances.
However, this first directive was ambiguous and its implementation in different EU countries was uneven. The new parliament resolution emphasizes that the devices should be more durable, easy to repair and include parts that can be removed and replaced. In addition, it proposes harmonized rules regarding the repair of consumer information and the extension of warranties.
More time to fix, more instructions to do it
Updated this year in Spain General Law on Consumer Protection. This reform introduces changes that protect the consumer's right to repair. The first is to extend the product warranty from two to three years. This will cover any manufacturing defects that occurred during that period. In addition, manufacturers must have spare parts for their products for 10 years after they are removed from the market, instead of five as before.
Under the old law, a manufacturing defect was presumed for the first six months, but beyond that the user had to prove that the device had not been misused. According to the new law, this term will be extended to two years. The French government went further on its own Repair indexor repair index, a mark that indicates whether the product is more or less repaired.
However, there are other strategies that manufacturers use to encourage customers to replace rather than repair. One of them is software, which is much more difficult to control. This is what happens when an old computer or phone stops being compatible with a new version of the operating system. The European Parliament also considers that these updates are reversible and do not affect performance, and that it is guaranteed that older models can use them The time has not yet been determined.
The right to repair is fundamental to the environmental health of the planet. The most immediate consequence of planned obsolescence is the increase in technological waste that ends up in developing countries in the recycling process and is very polluting. In addition, increasingly shorter production cycles consume more raw materials, some of which are scarce and strategic, such as coltan for antennas or lithium for batteries. Repair is not only a right, but a necessity.

Bank of America has claimed in a lawsuit that four ex-employees copied confidential databases of its trade secrets, and executed a "co-ordinated" attack on its wealth management unit using the data.
The password-protected database was taken by the employees, it said, as they left the company.
The ex-employees had "brazenly" announced they were taking the data, which included client names, addresses, emails and phone numbers, Bank of America said in papers filed last week at the New York Supreme Court.
The four accused now work at Dynasty Financial Partners, a wealth management and financial technology firm in New York. They left resignation letters saying they were allowed to take the information under a protocol agreed on by some banks, according to Bank of America. But the bank said it had not signed up for the protocol.
Dynasty is also one of the defendants in the case. The employees and Dynasty deny the accusations.
Bank of America said in its lawsuit that the databases provide "complete, comprehensive information" on clients and potential clients' financial profile and investment preferences.
The judge in the case has temporarily barred Dynasty and the four individuals from using or sharing the database to solicit new clients, according to a Bloomberg report. But it did not bar the individuals from advising their existing clients.
Bank of America had not commented at the time of writing. A spokesperson at Dynasty Financial Partners said the team "rigorously followed" the protocol, which it said applied in this case.
Hearings are now adjourned until January.

Thank God That I am a Man and Not a Woman
By Eugene Cho
It's likely that some of you will take offense at the title of this post. But if you read through the post, it'll certainly make more sense in the larger context. But for what it's worth, I was intending to entitle this post, "Fortunate to Have a Penis" and maybe I should have, but ultimately, I just didn't want to receive too many rebukes and tense emails. Seriously, who wants emails about genitals?
Seriously, it's not my intent to be sensational or even controversial but simply to make an important point. So, what is my point?
I am fortunate to be a man. Or to put it in other words, I'm fortunate to have a penis.
As I recently preached at my church, there's great privilege and power in simply being a man. This is why I contend that the treatment of women is the oldest injustice in human history. We can talk equality and equity all day long and while we can acknowledge how far we've come, we still clearly live -- even in 2011 -- where there's great advantage in simply being a man.
How fortunate? Consider this statistic from UNICEF and United Nations:
Women do 66 percent of world's work, produce 50 percent of world's food, but earn 10 percent of world's income & only own 1 percent of world's property.
If the average distance to the moon is 394,400 km, South African women together walk the equivalent of a trip to the moon and back 16 times a day to supply their households with water.
But it's not just situations in the developing world; it's also here in the home front.
Case in point: compensation. While these numbers need to be taken in light of context and factors such as industry, maternity leave, expectations, etc., the inequity in compensation still needs to examined:
That's because U.S. women still earned only 77 cents on the male dollar in 2008, according to the latest census statistics. (That number drops to 68 percent for African-American women and 58 percent for Latinas.)
But industry doesn't tell the whole story. Women earned less than men in all 20 industries and 25 occupation groups surveyed by the Census Bureau in 2007 -- even in fields in which their numbers are overwhelming. Female secretaries, for instance, earn just 83.4 percent as much as male ones. And those who pick male-dominated fields earn less than men too: female truck drivers, for instance, earn just 76.5 percent of the weekly pay of their male counterparts. Perhaps the most compelling -- and potentially damning -- data of all to suggest that gender has an influence comes from a 2008 study in which University of Chicago sociologist Kristen Schilt and NYU economist Matthew Wiswall examined the wage trajectories of people who underwent a sex change. Their results: even when controlling for factors like education, men who transitioned to women earned, on average, 32 percent less after the surgery. Women who became men, on the other hand, earned 1.5 percent more. (Time magazine)
My point: I'm fortunate to be a man, or, to put it anatomically, to have a penis.
The mechanisms, systems, institutions -- the whole matrix -- gives clear advantage to men. Just consider some of the recent destructive news and controversy surrounding men like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Donald Trump, Dominique Strauss-Kahn (the ex-chief of the IMF), Bishop Eddie Long, and Congressman Anthony Weiner.
It's not my intent to condemn these fellow men to eternal judgment. Nope. Not at all. But I do have a point: What would have happened to these individuals had they been women? What if we were talking about Anne Schwarzenegger, Diana Trump, Dominique (?) Strauss-Kahn, Bishop Ellen Long, and Congresswoman Angelie Weiner?
Jim Wallis nailed it in one of his recent posts, titled "Zero Tolerance," about this inequity and injustice:
It's a constant storyline in the media involving powerful men in politics, sports, business, and even religion: Men behave with utter disregard for the dignity and humanity of women -- using and abusing them at will, and somehow believing that they are entitled to do so. These men seem to think that the ordinary rules of decent behavior do not apply to them. We have a never-ending cavalcade of disgusting stories about men cheating on their wives and mothers of their children; abandoning old wives for new ones; serial philandering as a way of life; sexually harassing and assaulting women; and even committing rape. But when all is said and done, the perpetrators are still playing basketball, football, and golf; they are still running for political office, and are still at the helm of the institutions of the economy, and even the church

Taxi owners or operators can issue taxi vehicle bonds to drivers to cover costs. Information about handling vehicle bonds and bond disputes is also available here.
A bond is a payment made in advance by a driver to the owner or operator of the vehicle to cover any costs for which the driver may be liable to pay at the expiry of the vehicle lease.
The contract is arranged by the vehicle owner and should be read carefully by the driver to ensure comprehension of the content.
A statement containing conditions about the bond and its use must be provided by the operator with a receipt for the bond amount, including the date it was received.
A clear process for handling taxi vehicle bonds is detailed below.
1. Read and be aware of the content of the contract.
The date the bond was paid.
3. Keep all receipts involved in the maintenance and any repairs for the vehicle.
4. Check that the operator has deposited the bond into a trust account maintained for a particular driver and retained in the trust account until the end of the contract.
5. Request a statement in writing from the operator whenever the operator uses the bond money or any part of it.
For details of bond disputes, refer to Section 36 of the Taxi Act 1994. The operator is required to provide statements in writing and receipts to the driver in relation to the bond.
Statements in writing should be provided at the start and end of the contract agreement. It is important to provide copies of all statements and receipts and any other documents relating to the bond or the vehicle.
Note: The Department of Transport only deals with bond disputes that breach the Taxi Act 1994 (Section 36).

Taking transit has a number of personal and environmental benefits.
Taking public transit can eliminate time spent delayed in traffic – especially during rush hour. Public transit also saves you time searching for a parking spot. Transit is a time-efficient option and will get you to your destination using the most direct route. Buses using designated High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes are able to travel more efficiently and are less likely to be stuck in traffic.
Regular public transit users can reduce costs by buying monthly passes or participating in the TTC's Volume Incentive Program. In addition, you may be eligible for a federal tax credit for the cost of buying a monthly (or longer duration) pass for commuting on buses, streetcars, subways or GO Transit.
Public transit users help reduce the amount of harmful carbon emissions that cause air pollution. Air pollution can trigger a number of human health issues such as asthma and cardiovascular diseases.
Choosing public transit can minimize the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that enter our atmosphere. Each year, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) carries more than 450 million passengers. On an average work day 1.5 million people ride the TTC, which eliminates about one million car trips. One TTC bus at capacity can take 57 vehicles off the road and keep about 50 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions out of the atmosphere each year.

People need to pump the brakes on the assumption that Evander Kane will automatically put the Vancouver Canucks at the top of his wish list should he make it to unrestricted free agency this summer.
There were plenty who figured that the lure of playing in his hometown was going to bring Milan Lucic here two off-seasons ago when he had the opportunity to pick exactly where he wanted to go. Lucic valued the chance for long playoff runs above all else, felt the Edmonton Oilers offered him the best crack at that, and opted to sign a free-agent deal there instead.
Last season it worked. This season has been something else entirely so far.
Kane, like Lucic, grew up in east Vancouver and became a star left-winger in junior with the Vancouver Giants. Kane, like Lucic, will undoubtedly chase future playoff opportunities, assuming he doesn't sign an extension with the team that the Buffalo Sabres deal him to at the trade deadline and hits the open market.
The scuttlebutt is that the Sabres, who were in town Thursday to face the Vancouver Canucks and are struggling near the bottom of the standings, will swap pending unrestricted free agent Kane, 26, to a contender by the Feb. 26 cutoff.
Athletes of his calibre are wired differently than the majority of us. They're feverishly competitive, with precious few exceptions. Kane's so competitive it can rub some people the wrong way, and he's been like that for some time.
For instance, he was a 15-year-old underage call-up for the Giants for the 2007 Memorial Cup national championship tournament. Under-age call-ups generally go out of their way to be neither seen nor heard, but Kane punched Vancouver defenceman Brendan Mikkelson in the mouth after the then-19-year-old Mikkelson got his stick into Kane's hands on a one-on-one drill in practice and the two came to a stop in front of the net.
A couple of years later, Kane was told he was ranked No. 3 among North American skaters by Central Scouting in its midseason report for the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
Most would have been thrilled about that. Kane just wanted to know who was ranked ahead of him.
Heck, Kane grimaced initially Thursday when asked about Ty Ronning closing in on his Giants single-season goal-scoring record this season. Ronning is at 42 goals with 24 games left in the WHL regular season. Kane tallied 48 times for Vancouver in 2008-09.
Is that a guy who wants to be part of a continuing Canucks rebuild? Is that a guy who wants to be part of a rebuild in his hometown, where he'd have to deal with countless requests from family and friends and then listen to the lamenting that followed if the team wasn't trending the right way soon enough?
Michael Buble doesn't hold multiple concerts a year here, and Buble concerts generally draw better reviews than the Canucks have been getting.
Rest assured, Kane will get interest from teams further along in the development cycle than the Canucks if he makes it to free agency. He's 6-foot-2, 212 pounds and can fly around the ice. He drives the puck to the net like there's a magnet there.
For some team, he could be that last-piece-of-the-puzzle guy, that hard-charging, scoring winger who rounds out their top two lines.
He does come with baggage — there's no denying that. There have been messy moments off the ice, including a June 2016 incident at a bar in Buffalo that led to charges and a court case. Kane will tell you it's old news and, whether you believe that or not, we haven't heard anything about him getting into trouble since then. The charges were dismissed last May, the result of Kane avoiding legal issues for six months.
He's had this pending trade from the Sabres and possible free agency hanging over him all season, and he's continued to perform. He went into Thursday with 36 points, including 16 goals. He's on pace for 61 points, which would be a career high.
Kane neatly danced around questions Thursday about possibly signing with the Canucks, saying he understood why it was being asked. He said, of course, that he wasn't ready to make any decisions just yet.
He did admit that he doesn't completely block out the idea of pending free agency, though.
"It's part of being a professional. It's a position that every player wants to have," explained Kane. "I realize that it's happening but, at the same time, we're in season and I'm excited about playing hockey and I enjoy playing hockey.
"I've talked to players who have gone through it before and lots of different things can happen. I guess it's good to have options.

No Clean Sheet in Vicente Calderon's League Finale
Three of Atletico Madrid's regular starting defenders will sit out the final round of the Spanish Primera Division so one rates both teams to score when the Mattressers host Athletic on Sunday as the best bet on the coupon.
Jose Gimenez, Diego Godin and Filipe Luis cannot feature for Atletico Madrid against Athletic and, while one expects to see the Mattressers wound up fully by their demanding boss, Diego Simeone, they may lack the defensive quality to shut out the Lions in what is a big match for the visitors.
Athletic is in the hunt for one of the Spanish Primera Division's UEFA Europa League spots and it is in control of its own destiny because it boasts a head-to-head advantage over Sociedad, which is level on 63 points with the Lions after 37 rounds. Athletic will be up for the contest and, while one cannot pull the trigger on the Lions because of their Spanish Primera Division away losses to Barcelona, Real Madrid, Sevilla and Villarreal, one can see them contributing to a game without a clean sheet.
January's reverse Spanish Primera Division fixture between Atletico Madrid and Athletic resulted in a 2-2 draw in which both sides found the back of the net before half time. With 32Red, 888Sport and Unibet offering odds of 17/20 1.85 -118 0.85 -1.18 0.85 about both Atletico and Athletic scoring on Sunday in what will be the last-ever Spanish Primera Division match at the Vicente Calderon, one makes it one's headline selection.
Backing both teams to score is the way that one wants to play Saturday's Spanish Primera Division game between Gijon and Betis, an option that is available at odds of 67/100 1.67 -149 0.67 -1.49 0.67 . Gijon cannot escape the Spanish Primera Division drop zone due to its bad head-to-head record versus Deportivo so, to all intents and purposes, there is nothing on the match.
Gijon drew 0-0 at Betis in January's reverse Spanish Primera Division fixture but that was when the result meant a lot to both sides. In what is very likely to be akin to a friendly game, one is more interested in a couple of other pieces of data. Gijon has kept just one clean sheet in its 18 Spanish Primera Division home matches and Betis has managed to shut out only one team in its 18 league road games. For the record, Las Palmas failed to score at Gijon in the Spanish Primera Division, while Betis prevented Celta from scoring in front of the Sky Blues supporters in the top flight.
Neither Gijon nor Betis has a lengthy injury list but the latter will line up without its preferred goalkeeper, Adan, following his latest Spanish Primera Division yellow card.
There is no love lost between Valencia and Villarreal and one cannot help thinking that odds of 21/10 3.10 +210 2.10 2.10 -0.48 with Betfair and Betfred about a home victory for the Bats represents value in Sunday's important local derby.
Villarreal is vying for one of Spanish Primera Division's UEFA Europa League berths and, according to one's overall collateral form analysis, the Yellow Submarine enjoy a 5-4-10 lead over Valencia. But Valencia has performed as well as Villarreal against the Spanish Primera Division's leading lights and January's reverse fixture ended 2-0 in favour of the Bats despite them being the away side.
Valencia fans are among of the Spanish Primera Division's most passionate supporters and, while a home win over Villarreal will not make up for another disappointing campaign, it will reduce the angst in no small way.

A year ago, Robin could only imagine what leaving Third Street Alliance would look like. At the time she was living here with her youngest daughter and high school-aged son. Robin's older daughter was also receiving services through the shelter program.
In the last few months, her son and older daughter have moved on from Third Street Alliance and are currently in transitional housing programs through Valley Youth House. Robin, however, had expected to stay at Third Street Alliance until December this year.
But in August she learned she was eligible for housing through the Rapid Rehousing program, allowing her and her young daughter to move into stable, affordable housing. Robin was ready to participate.
The Rapid Rehousing program is federally funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Third Street Alliance works with local landlords to connect shelter residents or people from the Coordinated Entry community queue to housing opportunities.
The program pays the first three to six months of rent, or a portion of the rent, on a sliding scale. Eventually, the tenant is responsible to pay the entire rent.
"The program really puts you in a position to succeed," Robin said. "It's less overwhelming than what it would have been if I would have done it by myself."
Clients, such as Robin, that qualify for the Rapid Rehousing program work with Housing Navigator Ellen Caban to find an apartment and ensure its affordability for them.
With Ellen's guidance, each client prepares a budget based on what they can afford and how much space they need. Ellen will work with landlords to ensure the space is habitable. Problems arising from past evictions are also dealt with to the satisfaction of the landlord.
Once a client is placed into stable housing, Ellen will continue to budget with the client or assist in finding a better employment opportunity for them.
Moving into a new apartment is the start of a new chapter for Robin and her young daughter.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time. I'm excited." Robin said. "I'm hoping this keeps me grounded and focused on my end game and on my long-term goals."
Ellen Caban works clients to help them find affordable and stable housing through the Rapid Rehousing Program.

Before, regional sales director Kannan Chettiar at background screening firm First Advantage would hire staff after three interviews but many disappointed him. They could not meet sales targets, and their writing skills were poor.
Also a believer in extensive interviews is video-conferencing tech firm Polycom. Job seekers are interviewed about four times by separate groups of staff, who can be based in various countries.
"Candidates get a glimpse of not only the role but also the overall culture," said Mr Eric Wong, who heads talent acquisition and development for the Asia-Pacific, Japan and China.
Some companies also make it a point to conduct a few rounds of interviews over a meal or a drink.
Managing director Kunalan Chakravarthy Doraisingham at integrated marketing consultancy Priority Consultants finds that candidates are more relaxed in social settings.
"I also use the opportunity to ask candidates about their family and hobbies. I get a better idea of who they are," said Mr Kunalan.
Personality tests are catching on as well.
Infineon uses online personality test 15FQ+, which offers quantitative measurements of a candidate's working style and character traits. In the future, the company plans to have staff take the test, and use the results to identify key traits that it wants in potential hires.
"With more quantitative and qualitative information, we will be able to get a better understanding of candidates and their potential. That will help us in motivating and retaining staff," said Ms Leong Siew Yin, Infineon's human resource director for talent marketing and diversity.
On the flip side, workers say they benefit as well from a more exacting hiring process.
Ms Amanda Kho, who is now senior business development manager at First Advantage, went through six rounds of interviews and tests to land her job.
She said: "I was able to interact more with my future boss. I found out about his working style, and saw that he could be my role model. That was the key reason I joined the company."

WATCH: Another dog on Vancouver Island has been accidentally poisoned after eating cannabis. Eddy was exploring her favourite park in Saanich when she got into some discarded cannabis and very quickly started showing symptoms of an overdose. As Kori Sidaway tells us, her owner's now warning others to pay extra attention to their pets.
Judy James and her two and a half-year-old pup, Eddy, are back in their favourite park.
It's their first visit back to Cedar Hill Corner since Eddy became gravely ill.
"She's always sniffing and picking things up and by the time you've seen that she has something in her mouth it's too late to try and stop it," said James.
The rambunctious double doodle is like any other dog her age. But last week, curiosity nearly killed the pooch.
James saw Eddy with something in her mouth, but before getting to her, Eddy had gulped it down.
"About two hours later… I noticed that she was very, very, sensitive to any stimulus and was almost having a seizure," said James.
She rushed her dog to a nearby animal hospital where she found out Eddy was suffering from marijuana toxicity.
"She wouldn't eat a cigarette end, why would she eat a marijuana end?" asked James.
An emergency veterinarian at Central Victoria Veterinary Hospital told James they have been seeing an increasing number of pets suffering from cannabis toxicity through their doors.
In just September of 2018, we reported on Leon, a french bulldog puppy who started having seizures on a B.C. Ferry after consuming marijuana left in the designated pet area.
And it's not just here on the Island. Pet Poison Helpline says they've experienced a 448 per cent increase in pet marijuana toxicity cases.
And depending on the dose, it can be deadly.
"I just really want people to be aware of the implications," said James.
Meanwhile, Judy will likely be walking her best friend with extra supervision from now on.

State Smart Transportation Initiative
Focus Areas Expand Collapse
Innovative DOTs
Multimodal Access
Connecting Sacramento
New tools and data sources have begun to change the way we think about and plan for meeting people's transportation needs. Accessibility analysis lets us measure transportation performance in terms of people's ability to reach destinations instead of simply how fast cars move or whether transit runs on time. Trip-making data, which come from smartphones, navigation devices, and GPS-enabled vehicles, let us understand people's travel patterns and trip characteristics in detail without relying on costly travel surveys or complex travel demand models.
Connecting Sacramento is the first study to incorporate both technologies, including data from multiple sources, and assess how they can be used together to guide transportation- and land use-related decisions. This study focused specifically on opportunities to improve first- and last-mile connections to light rail transit in Sacramento, but its findings are widely applicable.
Major Findings
This is an accordion element with a series of buttons that open and close related content panels.
Vehicle trips
Using StreetLight Data, this study identifies personal vehicle trips that run along light rail lines, many of which could instead be made by transit. Many of those trips begin Downtown, just south of Downtown along the Blue Line, and near several stations along the Gold Line.
Light rail trips and mode share
Using data from Teralytics, this study reveals the origins, destinations, and mode share of light rail trips. As with StreetLight Data, this study only considers trips that begin and end near transit stations (precluding many park-and-ride trips). For example, only 1.4% of trips beginning just south of Butterfield station are made by light rail (compared to 5% in other nearby areas). This area includes several large office buildings served by abundant parking, which likely encourages driving and makes walking to the station less appealing.
Pedestrian trips
Using StreetLight Data, this study reveals the origins and destinations of walking trips to and from light rail stations. At the time of this study these methods were still in a trial phase, but trip metrics based on those methods are incorporated into the study on that basis.
Transit accessibility metrics
To evaluate transit accessibility, we measure the number of jobs accessible by transit during the morning period (7-10 AM) based on the existing transit schedules. In this case, the reported number of jobs is decay-weighted, meaning that nearby jobs are assigned more utility than jobs further away, based on decay functions derived from the 2009 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) in the state of California. For example, a job within 10 minutes counts 100 percent; a job within 30 minutes counts 70 percent; and a job within 60 minutes counts 40 percent. This measure lets us evaluate existing accessibility and quantify the impacts of accessibility improvements.
Accessibility impact scores
Accessibility impact scores are developed to identify blocks that could benefit the most from improved connections to existing transit stations. This measure suggests that impactful connections could be added near Zinfandel station, Swanston station, Meadowview station, and others. A direct connection is not always possible, so the actual achievable travel time reduction must be calculated separately, based on project-specific details.
Several other important applications are highlighted in this study, including:
• Using StreetLight Data to analyze vehicle trips to and from light rail parking lots. In many cases, people drive short distances suggesting they might be able to walk or bike.
In other cases, shuttles and ridesharing services might be reasonable alternatives.
• Using accessibility metrics identify transportation equity issues.

Nigerian economy expected to expand by less than 1 percent following an oil-related recession.
March 31 (UPI) -- Without a change in focus, the Nigerian economy will expand less than 1 percent even with a recovery in crude oil prices, the International Monetary Fund said.
The Nigerian economy sank into recession last year, with a contraction of 1.6 percent. With oil production centers in the Niger Delta the target of rebels, production faltered last year and the economy has "hard hit" by the strains of weaker crude oil prices.
According to the Central Bank of Nigeria, the rate of annual inflation is about 18 percent. In its latest assessment, the IMF said that, if Nigeria does nothing on the economic front, growth will be around 0.8 percent this year, which would mostly come from some recovery in crude oil production.
Secondary sources told economists at the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries that member state Nigeria produced 1.6 million barrels of oil per day in February, a gain of 3.7 percent from the previous month. Nigeria is exempt from an OPEC agreement to establish a ceiling on production because of the economic challenges presented by national security and sector-related issues.
OPEC economists noted that Nigeria's non-oil private sector was showing some of its strongest gains in more than a year. Directors at the IMF added that Nigerian economic planners have taken steps to reduce vulnerabilities and enhance resilience.
"However, in light of the persisting internal and external challenges, they emphasized that stronger macroeconomic policies are urgently needed to rebuild confidence and foster an economic recovery," the IMF's latest country report read.
The Central Bank noted that second quarter GDP was better than the previous two quarters and some gains were emerging on the domestic front. Outside of Nigeria, however, the bank said it was concerned by protectionist policies emerging in the wake of the British decision to leave the European Union.
"The protectionist stance of the new U.S. administration could impact negatively on global trade and economic recovery," it added.
Though U.S. oil production is expanding, the world's No. 1 economy is still relying on imports from Canada, Mexico and mostly OPEC members. The four-week moving average for Nigeria crude oil imports was up nearly 10 percent year-on-year.

Lucey, who was indicted yesterday, is still collecting the workers' comp and disability pay. A T spokesman said the agency has "initiated appropriate disciplinary actions" against him. His last listed pay was $41,675 two years ago, according to payroll records obtained by the Herald.
Police say they responded to the Cedar Grove Station on the Mattapan trolley line on Oct. 30, 2016, to find Lucey, who claimed a man in dark clothing, wearing a "Michael Myers" Halloween mask and carrying a plastic pumpkin had boarded his trolley and began attacking him.
Lucey told police he was pulled from the train and pummeled on the ground before the attacker ran off, leaving behind the plastic pumpkin.
Lucey went to the hospital and filed paperwork to begin collecting workers' compensation. He also claimed to have post-traumatic stress from the attack and began receiving long-term disability insurance, according to prosecutors.
But the alleged assault wasn't what it seemed, according to authorities. Lucey's acquaintance eventually told investigators that Lucey paid him $2,000 to orchestrate the attack.
Police say they later found bank and phone records showing the two had communicated both before and after the supposed attack, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley's office.
The friend, who police didn't identify, cooperated with the investigation.
Lucey is also facing perjury charges for lying on the paperwork to begin collecting the benefits, police said.
He's expected to be arraigned on March 20 in Suffolk Superior Court.

The new 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HDs are designed to be much more assured than ever before, and stronger, smarter.
"Heavyduty pickups are tools which folks use to tow large trailers and haul huge loads," said Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer. "A superb tool such as the brand new Silverado HD pick-up does not only get the job done, it makes the task easier, and enables you feel a lot more assured tackling the extremely tough jobs."
A 6.0L bifuel V-8, which can run on either petrol or compressed gas, will be available on regularcab, crewcab and new doublecab Silverado 2500 and 3500 versions.
Interiors and brand new cabs offering increased space and comfort, with substantial storage space customized for the way in which clients use fullsize trucks.
Chevrolet MyLink, which offers strong connectivity for work or family members with straightforward, intuitive controls.
New 6.5- and 8-foot containers with conventional CornerStep bumpers, EZ Lift and Reduced tailgates, and other attributes that make freight handling simpler.
Silverado HD's allnew outside conveys strength and ability, while also improving aerodynamics for improved performance and reduced wind sound, Additionally, it enhances cooling for more consistent electricity under demanding conditions.
"From the remarkable sculpture of the onepiece structural fender, to its muscle hood and side profile, the layout displays a functiondriven solution."
The tiniest details of the human body, like the roofing and tailgate spoiler, were tuned in a wind-tunnel to smooth air-flow on the truck for improved aerodynamic performance and decreased sound.
Engineers paid special attention to air-flow for the engine and also both engine cooling air-intakes, because HD pickups are often used for towing under undesirable circumstances. Careful sealing of the front-end also helps to ensure that air going into the engine intake stays cool, for optimum performance under demanding conditions.
"We believe customers will value all the work that went into the cooling system for the brand new Chevrolet Silverado HD if they receive an opportunity to actually get it to the evaluation."
The brand new Silverado HDs are also made to bring new degrees of assurance to rough towing through further refinement of Silverado's accessible Cruise Control, Auto Level Braking, and Diesel Exhaust Brake. The consolidation of these characteristics enables the 2015 Silverado HD keep a set speed-up and down grades, even if towing a large trailer in mountainous terrain.
"You feel considerably more confident and in control, because you're not always working to remain a step in front of the truck and trailer."
When needed make it possible for motor braking to help impede the automobile the transmission will automatically downshift.
Additionally, on Duramax diesel versions, the driver too can engage the Diesel Exhaust Brake, which uses the vanes within the turbocharger to quietly and easily create added backpressure within the engine to help impede the automobile. The mix of the automatic transmission downshifts and also the exhaust brake helps the driver keep the required rate, even on very long, steep freeway downgrades.
The inspiration of 2015 Silverado HDs is really a family of completely boxed frames, which use big cross-sections, hydroforming and highstrength steels in crucial locations. As the effectiveness of the frames improves towing and payload ability, the stiffness of the frames leads to improved management and ride comfort.
The Silverado HDs separate front suspension is especially engineered for HD pick-up use, with forged-steel upper control arms and precision-machined cast-iron lower control arms. Torsion bars are customized for the weight ratings of the trucks, advertisement let easier trim justment to height advertising to take into account the weight of snowplows or other add-ons.
Rear springs are asymmetrical leaf springs, which stability load and ride carrying, and enhance charge of axle hop. The metal springs, three inches broad, have already been established to do every year under the conditions.
The group that produced the 2015 Silverado HD went to extremes to provide a truck that will live up to Chevy's reputation for constructing the most reliable, longest-lasting pickups, mentioned Luke.
That is comparable to 240 trips round the world. Additionally, the trucks will amass more than 7 million realworld miles during last assessment, bringing complete test miles to more than 13 million.
While the brand new Silverado 1500, that has got favorable reviews for the quieter cab and roomier, more comfortable inside the 2015 Silverado HD gets the same updates to the interior, cab framework, and door styles.
"The silent, comfortable, connected inside of the 2015 Silverado HD displays an extreme focus on the road truck drivers live and work."
Six gauge instrument cluster, the erect instrument panel and several storage alternatives are tailored especially to the demands of truck customers. Controls are practical, logically placed and simple to use with work gloves on.
into recesses within the body sides for decreased turbulence and wind rush.
The doors on models are bigger, and along with revised seats, produce about two inches more rear leg-room, and permit easier entrance and departure for back-seat passengers.
A brand new doublecab version, which features forwardhinged back doors, replaces the preceding extended cab, and enables easier access to the rear seat, notably in tight parking spaces.
The 2015 Silverado HD offers three powertrains especially tailored for reliable support and demanding jobs.
The proven Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel and Allison 1000 sixspeed automatic transmission combination will remain on both 2500 and 3500 Silverados.
It's rated at 360 hp and 380 pound-ft of torque on 2500 models, and is especially designed for lowend torque. A variant rated at 322 hp is standard on 3500s. Pickups with both edition are E85 Flex-fuel able.
A bifuel edition of the 6.0L V-8, with special tempered valves and valve seats make it possible for operation on petrol or compressed gas, will be accessible in all three versions of the brand-new Silverado HD - regularcab, crewcab and doublecab.
Chevy works using a manufacturer to provide a alternative for the CNG vehicles. The bifuel trucks are assembled with the specially-designed motor, the fuel-system is installed by GM's Tier-one provider, and also the finished vehicle is delivered right to the client. This procedure makes ordering the alternative as seamless as ordering a truck driven by petrol or diesel, and guarantees the greatest amount of reliability, durability and security.
The pick-up box is produced of steel for improved durability and reduced mass, compared with the beds utilized by leading opponents, also it includes a variety of clever options for everyday life.
Silverado's CornerStep fender, joined with hand aids assembled to the brand new standard box railing protectors, makes it simpler to get freight within the box, particularly helpful on HD pickups, with their higher ride height. The box can be available with an EZ Lift, underrail lightemitting diode light, and new upper tiedown hooks and Lower tailgate.
An accessible spray-in bed liner, which bonds to the metal bed to produce permanent, watertight protection for the box, covers the whole bed interior surface beneath the side rails, for example, tailgate and front box top railing.
The 2015 Silverado HD is going to be available with section-exclusive safety features including Forward Collision Alarm, Lane-departure Warning with the Energetic Safety Seat, and Front and Rear Park Support. Head - seatmounted and drape side airbags are standard on 2500 and accessible on 3500 models.
The 2015 Silverado HD is going to be accessible with a comprehensive variety of dealerinstalled accessories. Exterior accessories include fourinch or sixinch aid measures in chrome or black, 20inch wheels, bodyside moldings, plus a variety of chrome accents.

Q: Tkinter, alignment - the endless question Since some days I'll try to align these two items inside a Tkinter frame:

The pink part should be on the left and the green button on the right. With HtmlDivs and CSS a question of seconds, with TKinter a pain in the ...
Here is my python code:
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("400x200")

buttons = tk.Frame(root)
buttons.pack(side="top", expand=True, fill='both')

label = tk.Label(buttons, text="Hello, world", anchor='w', background='pink')
b2 = tk.Button(buttons, text="EXIT", background='green')

label.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky='w', ipadx = '20', padx = '20')
b2.grid(row=0, column=3, sticky='e', ipadx = '20', padx = '20')

root.mainloop()

The final app will be running fullscreen on a 7" touch display.

A: The simplest solution is to use pack instead of grid, since you only have a single row of widgets inside of buttons. pack's strength is arranging things in a single row or a single column.
Just remove these two lines:
label.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky='w', ipadx = '20', padx = '20')
b2.grid(row=0, column=3, sticky='e', ipadx = '20', padx = '20')

... and replace them with this:
label.pack(side='left')
b2.pack(side='right')

Also, since you appear to be creating a toolbar, you want to leave expand as False and set fill to just "x", otherwise the toolbar will expand to fill the entire window:
buttons.pack(side="top", expand=False, fill='x')

A: Thx for your tips,
this is just a testcode to update my maincode.
Its not good to mix .pack and .grid, right ? If i do, the script crashes completely,
so ill have to re-do my mainscript i think.
This is what i need:

*

*row: 1/2: label (it will be a real time clock) left 2/2: exit button (exit fullscreen) right

*row: 1/3: image (weather), 2/3: weather data (label), 3/3: calendar

*row: 4 buttons: 1. lightoff 2. light25%, 3.light50% 4.light100&

Thats it basically all is working, it just need to align it (im a coding hero g)
Since i have the frame from the code above, i thought i can easily add 2. & 3. row with another frames, but that does not seem to work ??
