Pixie Dust Required: Rhett Wheeler, the guy who stole the show at the Disney Christmas Parade taping.
Yesterday I posted how Ariana Grande was 3 hours late to her taping for the Disney Christmas parade and how they started pulling people from the audience to entertain the waiting crowd. (read the story HERE) When Kaden Charming posted a video of this gentleman singing, it went viral! Well today I want to introduce you to that gentleman with an amazing voice, Rhett Wheeler!
Rhett happens to be a very friendly guy who just had an extremely magical day!
I had a ticket to the Disney parade filming and during a break between performers. Mr. David Foster asked if anyone could sing. A few people sang, and then he said he had time for one more, so I shot up my green pom-pom and he picked me. My heart started beating as I walked to the stage. He asked me, "What are you going to sing?" I responded, "Could I sing one of yours?" He laughed and agreed. I told him I would sing "The Prayer." He asked me to sing in Italian, and after I had gotten three lines in, he said, "STOP! Come up on the stage!" and the rest is on the video that has now gone viral.
HOW DID IT FEEL TO SING ON THE CASTLE STAGE AND TO GET THE RESPONSE YOU DID?
Unreal. It felt unreal. I got to sing one of David Foster's songs while he was playing for me. My heart was racing, and I am still shaking.
WHAT KIND OF SINGING/PERFORMING BACKGROUND DO YOU HAVE?
I started to sing at age 8. I have been very lucky so far to make a living from singing, but mostly in small (mainly theatrical) venues. This is a different level. I am so grateful for the opportunity.
YOU MENTIONED YOU SANG WITH DAVID FOSTER, TELL ME MORE ABOUT THAT.
Mr. Foster has been an idol and role mode of mine since before I can remember. He is an incredible gift to the world of music, and I am the luckiest person alive right now. I only hope and dream that I get the chance to work with him again. And sing that song with, (dare I dream?) Celine Dion!
I grew up on Celine Dion, she is my biggest musical influence. I also love The Beatles, Billy Joel, Queen, and Dolly Parton. And of course The Sherman Brothers, Alan Menken, Stephen Schwartz…all the disney writers!!
ANYONE CONTACT YOU AFTER YOUR PERFORMANCE YESTERDAY?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DISNEY SONG AND WHY?
"Baby Mine" from Dumbo, because it's the song I sing to my 19 month old niece; I've been singing it to her since my sister was carrying her.
Several times a year. AND I WISH IT WAS MORE!!!
WHAT IS ONE THING YOU HAVE TO DO EVERY TIME YOU GO TO THE PARKS?
I love to just walk around. I feel a sense of elation whenever I'm at disney. Being in the parks makes me smile and fills my heart with something I just can't explain. And a Mickey Mouse Rice Krispie Treat doesn't hurt.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DISNEY SOUVENIR YOU HAVE EVER GOTTEN?
Today we got handed pom-poms for the amazing Ariana Grande's performances. Mine was green. It was the pom-pom that caught David Foster's eye when he chose me, and now it is the most precious Disney souvenir I own.
To keep up with Rhett and his happenings, check out his website at http://www.rhettwheeler.com/. You can also visit his Facebook Page by clicking HERE, see his You Tube Channel HERE, Instgram by following iamrhettwheeler, and Twitter by following iamrhett.
How awesome! I can't wait to buy his album one day!
He has an amazing voice, I've listened to his video 4 or 5 times already!! Id say Ms Ariana Grande better watch herself, he could sing her off the stage!! I hope this opens some doors for him.

March is National Peanut Month, a time to celebrate one of America's favorite foods! National Peanut Month had its beginnings as National Peanut Week in 1941, then expanded to a month-long celebration in 1974.
Coincidentally, March is also National Nutrition Month, making this an ideal time to recognize the nutritional value of peanuts. Peanuts are a cholesterol-free source of protein, magnesium, vitamin E, and an array of other heart-friendly nutrients. What's more, peanuts rival the antioxidant content of many vegetables & fruits. And they're a good source of folate, which reduces the risk of certain birth defects in the brain & spinal cord.
For even more scoop on this lovable legume, including recipes, allergy facts, and nutritional info, you can visit the website of the National Peanut Board, a research and advocacy committee that works on behalf of the 25,000 USA peanut farmers, or Planter's NutNutrition.com site.


It's easy for new or aspiring vegetable gardeners to get discouraged these days. With so many bugs and diseases, many choose not to even start a garden. But I'm here to tell you that easy vegetable gardening is still possible if you know a few things.
Start with a small patch in your backyard where you can keep up with the needs of a garden: weeding, watering, nourishing, etc. If you start with more than you can handle, you'll give up before you even get started.
You can enjoy an easy vegetable garden by choosing vegetables that provide large crops in a small space (also called bumper crops).
These crops are easy to grow and take little time and effort to look after, but at the same time will provide plenty of produce for you to enjoy.
Usually you would sow from seed in April and plant out in June in rich manured soil. They will also benefit from a mulch of garden compost midway through the summer, and if the weather is dry, keep them watered.
Beans are an easy to grow crop that needs very little attention but reward you well. We use an old bean trench method to grow our beans and peas which starts in Autumn when we dig a trench in the position we want our bean frames, lining the trench with newspaper and filling with kitchen waste before back-filling. Although beans take their nutrients from the atmosphere the rotting waste adds a little more, and the trench settles in a shallow to help retain water.
Most beans freeze well: simply blanch for 30 seconds, plunge into cold water, drain until dry and freeze on trays.
As a treat try freshly picked runner beans, sliced and gently boiled, with butter and topped with a poached egg, free range of course.
Although the greenhouse cordon tomato are not what I would class as easy vegetable garden plant, a bush or window box tomato variety is.
Bush tomatoes can get quite big and as long as they are fed well with a liquid tomato food, they will keep you in baby tomatoes all summer long.
The smaller pot varieties are not as prolific, but put them in window boxes, pots or hanging baskets and they will look attractive and give you plenty of salad veg.
A very forgiving plant that is one of the hardiest vegetables, and they provide a lot of beans per plant. The broad bean is one of the first to be planted. As long as the weather isn't extremely cold, they will be up and running in no time.
They are not to fussy about soil, but a dressing manure or potash will help them out. They are not exactly trouble free, as they are susceptible to black fly, chocolate spot and rust, but neither of these are difficult to deal with and no matter what the issue, it is a very prolific bean.
Kale is a brassica with open leaves, very close to wild cabbage and has become one of the most talked vegetables of the day. The bets time to eat kale is when the leaves are small and crispy and can be treated just like cabbage.
This doesn't necessarily mean boiled, but rather pan-fried in stir fries, with pastas, in risotto, curries, pies and soups. As you may guess, a very versatile veg and well worth growing.
Cucumber is an easy vegetable garden plant that can be grown in a greenhouse or outside. If you are growing outside either sow seeds in a propagator in May or sow direct under a cloche in June.
Cucumbers love full sun and rich soil, so adding some manure would help it a lot. Compost or pelleted fertilizer are good alternatives. Simply pinch off the growing tip when your plant has seven leaves and allow side shoots to trail or climb.
Home grown cucumbers are so much better than those you buy in the supermarket: they are juicy, crunchy and full of flavor. Even if you only grow one cucumber plant, you may need to get imaginative in the kitchen as just one plant will give you more than enough for having with salad.
You can also try chilled cucumber soup or gazpacho, cucumber water, or a tasty cucumber relish.
As you can see, easy vegetable gardening is possible and it will give you lots of yummyness in the kitchen!
I've had great gardens in Massachusetts, then I moved to California and I have trouble growing simple things like cucumbers and pole beans. .I've always used a compost pile and people here say they have great gardens without compost. What dp I do?

Wendy Williams is back at work, and Gayle King wants more money [Quick Takes]
In this video, award-winning journalist, Kizzy Cox, and comedian Onika McLean are doing a quick take and talking about Wendy Williams, Vince Herbert, Gayle King, R. Kelly, George Stephanopoulos, Blockbuster Video, 21 Savage, and Tamron Hall.
Published in What's Poppin
Beyonce, Kenya Barris, Tamron Hall, Will Smith, Meghan Markle, Sex Dolls, and more | Ep. 130
K. Michelle brings up her old flame, Idris Elba; sex dolls are back, and this time with artificial intelligence; Meghan Markle's husband wants to cash in on Ms. Markle's celebrity
In this episode of What's The 411, journalist Kizzy Cox, and comedian Onika McLean are talking about:
In Quick Takes, the duo is giving a rundown of the following news stories:
• It's official. Television producer, Kenya Barris, is following in the footsteps of Shonda Rhimes. He is leaving his overall pact at ABC, which terminates in August. Sources state that Barris will remain an executive producer on all of his shows, Black-ish on ABC; Grown-ish and the upcoming Besties on Freeform. He will continue to work on the ABC Studios projects he has in development, and his Netflix deal is expected to be substantial.
• Tamron Hall is on her way back to daytime! She has inked a deal with Disney for a new Daytime talk show, and she stated in a press release:
"I'm so thrilled to partner with Disney ABC to create a daytime television show that's unconventional, fun, intimate and sometimes even raw. My new partners appreciate and respect the relationship I've built with my audience and know that if we create television worth watching, they'll join us for the ride. I'm so grateful and excited for this next chapter. The landing makes the leap of faith so worth it."
• Actor and rapper, Will Smith, announced in a video on Instagram that he is teaming up with self-help author Mark Manson to write a book. Smith said:
• "We're going to be meeting with five publishers… we're gonna pick one. And if I had to take a guess, I feel very confident that we're gonna go with the highest bidder… I'm just saying."
• We talked about Meghan Markle's father and sister doing everything possible to cash in on the celebrity of the Duchess of Sussex. Now, Meghan Markle's ex-husband, Trevor Engelson, wants in, too. He's planning to put all of their business on Front Street.
• And, in case you missed it, Beyoncé will be on the all-important September issue of Vogue magazine. Beyoncé's photos were shot by Tyler Mitchell, the first Black man to shoot a Vogue cover.
• Singer K. Michelle fondly remembers her romance with actor Idris Elba, she told Hollywood Unlocked that "they split up because he wasn't ready to settle down. "He told me he would never be committed to one woman. He said I would be taken care of, I would be fine, but he would never commit to one woman."
WHAT'S POPPIN' – RACE and CULTURE
KIZZY: There is a huge debate going on right now about the unequal treatment of Black people subjected to gun violence vs. White people. Recently, actress Anne Hathaway, who is white, shaken by the death of Nia Wilson at the hands of a white man, challenged white people to wake up and pay attention. Hathaway said in part, White people DO NOT have equivalence for this fear of violence."
Even David Hogg one of the survivors of the Parkland H.S. massacre in Florida said he would use his "white privilege" to also address the often overlooked gun violence in black and brown communities.
Q. Now, granted, Black people are not monolithic, but the response to these overtures have been mixed, ranging from it's about time that white people are recognizing the inequality to, no I am not afraid and only Black people can help Black people. Where do you stand on this issue?
WHAT'S POPPIN' – RELATIONSHIPS
ONIKA: Recently, Meagan Good's husband, DeVon Franklin, in an effort to separate dating from marriage posted on Instagram:
"There's a time to act like husband and wife, but if doesn't come until you're actually married—until you have that indelible commitment to each other."
Q. Do you like this idea? What happens when people choose to live together minus the marriage nuptials?
ONIKA: Speaking of marriage, 'The Daily' host Michael Barbaro, splits from his husband and is now dating a female producer on another show at The New York Times.
Q. I know that we live in a fluid society, but would you date man who was married to a man?
WHAT'S POPPIN – FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
KIZZY: If you are a regular viewer of What's The 411, you know we have talked about sex dolls at least twice before. Well, sex dolls are back in the news! And, this time because the manufacturers in China are now including artificial intelligence in the dolls. So they will be able to hold short conversations.
Q. Where are we headed with this? Is this good for society?

How Long will Megyn Kelly Today Last on NBC
NBC took a bet on Megyn Kelly, a not so popular media personality, and the first week of Megyn Kelly Live didn't go so well
Megyn Kelly's new show on NBC, Megyn Kelly Today that replaced Tamron Hall and Al Roker isn't making friends and influencing people.
Already, Kelly incited a mini-controversy by suggesting that a Will & Grace superfan "became" gay because of his love of the show; ticked off Jane Fonda by asking her about plastic surgery; faced underwhelming ratings; and dealt with some blistering reviews.

QUICK TAKES: Megyn Kelly Disappoints NBC; Sloane Stephens Wins US OPEN
Insecure actress Yvonne Orji is set to join Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish in the movie directed by Malcolm D. Lee
Regret is growing at NBC for pushing Tamron Hall out the door to make room for former FOX News host, Megyn Kelly.
Prior to Kelly's debut, NBC was reportedly in a "panic" over the fear that Megyn Kelly could not attract non-White and younger audiences for her daytime show.
According to reports, Tamron Hall, the former Today show anchor is being dragged into the ugly divorce of Jesse Jackson Jr. — and the former U.S. congressman is not happy about it.
Can we just say that Black Girl Magic was on display at the US OPEN!
While tennis star, Serena Williams was out on maternity leave, her sister Venus, Madison Keys, and Sloane Stephens were holding it down.
All three made it to the US OPEN semi-finals and this was the first US OPEN women's final with two Black women at center court and their names were not Williams.
Congratulations to Sloane Stephens for winning it all!
The Kevin Hart comedy Night School just added another name to its roster. Insecure actress Yvonne Orji is set to join Hart and Tiffany Haddish in the movie directed by Malcolm D. Lee.
Musician, John Legend, revealed in an interview with The Guardian, a British newspaper, he tried to break up with Chrissy Teigen years ago and she was not having it. The breakup lasted 90 minutes.

Well, sort of. Here is an artwork created by Doug Williams. The artwork is a entry in a certain online contest by JJ Abrams. All I can say is Doug did a great job on this. The monster is whale inspired and it is really very appealing. If it is the final monster in Cloverfield, it is indeed the perfect choice.
Cloverfield is set to premiere this coming January 18, 2008.

(Natural News) People think that parasites are only a concern if you eat raw meat, but that's only the tip of the "big worm." Parasites are organisms that live on or inside other organisms and multiply, while depending on the host for survival, and that's why parasites rarely kill the host. Yet, you're not "off the hook" so easily, because parasites often spread diseases that are fatal, such as malaria and trichomoniasis (an STD). Parasites can be microscopic (as with the malarial parasite) or up to a shocking 30 meters long (as with the worm parasite) – that's one third of a football field.
There are three main types of parasites: protozoa (single-celled organisms), ectoparasites (lice and fleas), and helminths (the worms). Most parasites humans contract come from eating pork, beef, game meat, animal organs, freshwater fish, milk, contaminated soil, pet feces, and sometimes fresh produce (and fruit juices). Pork tapeworms literally hatch in your stomach and can grow to be 10 meters long, feeding off the nutrients you eat.
Medical doctors often mistake parasite infections and their symptoms for other health conditions, including hormone deficiency, food poisoning, and pneumonia. Symptoms of parasite infections include severe malnutrition, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, epileptic seizures (due to CNS disruptions), skin bumps, rashes, weight loss, sleep problems, and general weakness; however, symptoms usually do not appear until long after infection has taken root, and the parasites can be transmitted to another person before symptoms ever appear.
Trichinella Spiralis, the "pork roundworm," causes muscle infections
Trichinellosis is a muscle infection you catch from consuming undercooked or raw pork, including smoked sausages. The infected meat is contaminated with parasite cysts that contain larvae which are invisible to the naked eye. The CDC has identified the pork roundworm as a problem that's spiraling out of control. When the infected meat gets eaten by humans, the larvae then grow into adult worms that mate and reproduce thousands of new larvae, that travel into muscle tissues.
There are many misconceptions about preparing pork and ham to ensure it's free of roundworm parasites. Freezing the pork doesn't always kill the roundworms, because some wild game species are freeze-resistant. The so-called "safe temperature" for cooking pork is commonly way off the mark. The FDA says to cook it as low as 120F for more than 20 hours and you'll eliminate the roundworms, yet the USDA says cook it at 160F minimum, but that usually overcooks the meat, so where's the "sweet spot" where the meat is still tender and moist but you don't get infected?
Best ways to avoid meat that's contaminated with parasites
The majority of meat raised and processed in America comes from horrific CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) that, if you took a quick tour through one, you would probably become a vegan overnight. International agencies, scientific commissions, chefs, concerned citizens, and activist organizations alike are all in agreement that animal factory conditions must change. Livestock CAFOs are disgusting hellholes where animals are treated brutally, literally live on top of their own feces, and are fed genetically modified corn and soy they would never eat if given the choice to roam normal pastures.
These CAFO animals live with chronic infections, including being contaminated with pathogens and parasites that thrive in the horrific, unkempt factory conditions. Factory workers and butchers are trained to use bleach and ammonia to try to disinfect the contaminated meats, and that's why most conventional meat sold to Americans is loaded with preservatives, concentrated salts, monosodium glutamate, nitrates, "smoked" flavoring, and artificial food coloring – all meant to trick the consumer into thinking the meat is unadulterated and untainted.
If you buy and consume meat, look for the USDA certified organic label, and be sure to cook it all well. Better yet, consider the fact that animals experience emotions and exhibit distinct personalities, and maybe you won't want to support the nightmarish CAFO industries anymore.

7/25/2015 – Nestled in the Pyrenees mountain range, the microstate Andorra, continues its chess tradition and is now celebrating the 33rd edition of its yearly Andorran Open. In a time when competition for the chess tourists is the highest, this year's event drew literally dozens of masters and grandmasters, thanks to excellent organization with exemplary media-friendly material.
5/19/2013 – The American Continental Championship has ended in Bolivia. The Peruvian contingency delivered important blows to their opponents in the final round to clinch two of the four passes to the 2013 World Cup. Diego Flores and Isan Ortiz, Argentina and Cuba respectively, took second and third while the unstoppable Julio Granda won the tournament with a full extra point. Pictures and results.


Keep your job looking beautiful to enhance both your reputation and your wallet.
The growth of the decorativeconcrete industry in recent years has allowed contractors to challenge their creativity with a huge array of new designs, colors, textures and techniques. But after the job is done, maintaining that dazzling, just-completed look is often overlooked.
Cleaning and resealing an old job isn't nearly as interesting as creating a new design, and it's less profitable too.
However, industry experts say contractors are missing a great opportunity. Making sure decorative concrete looks fresh for years to come can bring a number of benefits — satisfied customers, repeat business and a new profit center, to name a few.
Clients appreciate a contractor who can not only work wonders with concrete, but can also help them keep their patio, deck or driveway looking impressive. New products are available to handle almost any maintenance situation, even ones that initially look impossible.
Julio Hallack, a concrete restoration specialist based in Turlock, Calif., says many people use cleaning chemicals that are too powerful and eat away the concrete. Don't use ammonia, he says, and Simple Green should be used only if it is diluted with 20 parts water.
Light commercial floors may need resealing every six months, and heavy-duty commercial floors, in supermarkets for example, are stripped, buffed and resealed with water-based products every week, Hallack says.
Cleaning is the first and most important step to any concrete maintenance program, but the next step — making sure the concrete is dry — takes patience.
"Contractors are guilty of rushing in and trying to put sealers on before the floors are dry. They trap moisture and it's a big mistake," Hallack says. "Floors need to be dry 100 percent." Hallack recently let a floor dry for two complete days, then did a moisture test before he started resealing.
When contractors face mildew stains, sun damage, or just particularly stubborn dirt, they may need to dig deeper into their bag of tricks to come up with a solution.
Contractors can choose from a range of products and techniques for cleaning and maintaining problem areas on decorative concrete, says Scott Buscher, marketing director for Prosoco Inc., a custom formulator of specialty cleaners and protective treatments for masonry and concrete.
Balch uses a more aggressive cleaner and a hand-held nylon brush for small areas and low-speed buffers with scrubbing pads for large areas. "Stains normally just require more elbow grease," he says.
Chemist Mark Granados of Surtec Inc., which manufactures sealers, cleaners and specialty maintenance products in Tracy, Calif., recommends inspecting for water damage. If materials such as leaves or firewood have been left on a patio for a long time, moisture could be trapped underneath. Moisture problems must be fixed before new sealer can be applied. Contractors say sunlightis another big enemy of acrylic sealers. Sometimes customers will complain that the sun has faded half of their patio. Dirt and mildew can also damage one part of the project, while the other side looks great.
How many times can a sealer be applied to the surface before a complete stripping is required?
There's no magic number, but when the buildup of sealers starts to discolor or distract from the original look, it's time to strip, says Steven W. Hicks, president and CEO of ConcreteScience International Inc.
Some water-repellants penetrate into the pores of the concrete and form a barrier against water intrusion that may last as long as five years. A film-forming sealer on top of that is "the best of all worlds, as long as you are not trapping escaping moisture," Hicks says.
Keeping control joints free of water and debris will also lengthen the life of any decorative concrete project. If water seeps through the joints and into the substrate, the concrete will deteriorate. Dirt and debris in the joints can cause damage to the joint nosings as the concrete moves, Balch says.
If the job will see only foot traffic, contractors prefer a polyurethane sealant, which can flex as the concrete moves and also comes in a variety of colors. On driveways, flexible epoxy sealants are preferred because they can stand up to vehicular traffic, keeping the joint shoulders intact.
3M is offering new urethane adhesives and sealants to repair cracks and spalls in as little as 15 minutes. The company says its urethane sealants are flexible enough to compensate for expansion and contraction around a joint. The products can also be used to fix spalls, often found at concrete joints in heavy traffic areas.
Two weeks before the new Bronco Stadium opened in Denver, ConcreteScience was called in to quickly solve a problem that 15 companies hadn't been able to fix.
Instead of concrete risers, the stadium used metal risers so fans could stomp their feet and create the pounding noise known as "Rocky Mountain Thunder." The problem was that rain on the metal risers created rust, which ran down the concrete walls and stained them, making the stadium look like it had a giant bathtub ring.
A sample was sent out to ConcreteScience chemists in Kansas City. They created four possible solutions, and one worked. Scrubbing the walls by hand was a mammoth project, but once the solution was vacuumed up and the walls were treated with a water repellant, it looked good as new, Hicks says.
Hicks believes contractors should pay more attention to maintaining their work. He says contractors can be even more successful if they organize their business to make maintenance a higher priority. It's good fill-in work when times are slow, it targets existing customers and it can be high-margin work, he says.
A few easy marketing techniques could go a long way. Good business owners send out a maintenance reminder postcard one year after the job is done. Others pick up the phone and see how their work is holding up.
"If you don't call them, they will not call you," Hicks says.
Hallack says contractors should not be afraid to learn from each other and to network with good companies. Scofield and Miracote experts, for example, are extremely knowledgeable and love what they do, he says. Even though contractors may be competing for the same customers, the industry as a whole will benefit from more collaboration.


Upgrade SCCM 1511 to SCCM 1606 without Powershell Script – With the release of SCCM current branch version 1606, users now have the option to upgrade to SCCM 1511 to SCCM 1606. Well, the configuration manager current branch 1606 brings new features and lot of improvements over previous version. In one of my posts, I had posted the steps to upgrade SCCM 1511 to SCCM 1606. I remember running a powershell script to get the update quickly. Post running the script the 1606 update appeared in Updates and Servicing node. Recently a lot of users complained that even after restarting the smsexec service, the update was still not available. A very few were successful in getting the update. I had to test this in my lab setup to confirm the result.
Most of the users started to look for the script to get the 1606 update. I believe this script is not required anymore. You cannot download it as it has been removed from downloads by Microsoft. Microsoft announced in the blog post that the update is now globally available to all customers. The script to enable the first wave is no longer necessary.
So if you are not seeing the update 1606 in updates and servicing node, here's how you can get it. Starting with Configuration Manager 1602, when you right click on Updates and Servicing node, you see an option called Check for Updates. This option is not available if you are running SCCM 1511. So to begin the download process, open services console on site server and restart the SMS_EXECUTIVE service once.
Open the dmpdownloader.log file. When you restart smsexec service you see the below lines in log file.
AdminUI Content Download thread is exiting.
AdminUI Content Download thread exited.
Notice that after few minutes, the download process starts. The required files are downloaded.
When you refresh the updates and servicing node you see that Configuration Manager 1606 update state shows downloading. You need to be patient here until the update is downloaded.
Once again dmpdownloader.log file is really useful in checking the download progress. In the below screenshot you see the the download is complete.
You are now ready to install the update. So to all those who say starting smsexec service won't help, this posts should help :).

CONSTRUCTION OF MAJOR NEW CYCLEWAY IN EAST LONDON SET TO BEGIN THIS WINTER
Construction work on a major new cycleway in east London is set to begin this winter, as Transport for London (TfL) outlines the next steps for plans which would transform neighbourhoods between Hackney and Westferry and enable thousands more journeys to be made on foot and by cycle.
The proposed cycleway was the first new cycling route to be consulted on from TfL's Strategic Cycling Analysis, which used data to identify 25 areas which showed the best potential for growing cycling numbers.
More than 1,800 people took part in the consultation and 91% thought that the proposals would boost the number of people cycling in the area. Nearly three quarters also thought that the changes would enable more people to make journeys in the area on foot.
Will Norman, London's walking and cycling commissioner, said: "I'm delighted that construction work on this major new cycleway is set to begin this winter. The overwhelming support for the plans during the public consultation shows there is great demand for walking and cycling improvements which enable many more people to get around on foot or by bike as part of their everyday routine. By reducing car use we will improve air quality for everyone, and reduce congestion."
TfL is investing £2.3bn to enable millions more journeys to be made by walking and cycling as part of the Mayor's plans to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing the capital, including the global climate emergency, toxic air and obesity.
In September, four new cycleways were launched across London and construction on a number of major new routes is either underway or set to begin this year. Work on cycleway 4 between Tower Bridge and Greenwich began in June, whilst work on cycleway 9 between Brentford and Olympia is planned to start later this year. Construction work also continues on cycleway 34 between North Acton and Wood Lane.

WMATA Data Outage
on 02 January, 2014
Status of the ongoing WMATA (DC Metro) realtime data outage, which is causing many customer mobile apps and websites to suffer outages. The nature of the problem is that all route directions and schedules appear to be missing, meaning apps can't list routes and their associated bus stops, or view full daily bus schedules.
12/28/13 - A local developer reports via a developer Facebook group "The Bus Schedule API seems to have no valid data in it for dates past 12/28"
1/1/14 - I began to receive outage notifications from my user base that the DC Metro and Bus app contains no route data.
1/2/14 - 745am I posted a notice of outage to the previously mentioned Facebook group, which until recently was being monitored by a WMATA POC. No response from WAMTA.
750am I directly emailed the previous WMATA POC alerting him of the outage. He's no longer responsible for the service, but advised he had forwarded my note to the appropriate group, who I can contact myself through the WMATA API web site.
930am I tried contacting WMATA through their website to alert them of the outage.
130pm Apps are still down. Metro riders are still in the dark. No response yet from a POC within WMATA indicating that the appropriate people are aware of the issue and working to address it.
200pm I notice that WMATA has posted an update to their developer page. Good news, the issue is being worked on.
Attention:January 2, 2014 - WMATA is aware of bus schedule data unavailability on the API and is working to deploy a solution. We will update this message when regular bus schedule data becomes available.
425pm Still no fix for the issue, and no ETA communicated by WMATA. Apps still down.
1/3/14 - 900am It looks like SOME of the route data has been restored. Most routes appear to have direction data, enabling my apps to at least list the directions and stops for them. However, all the schedule data that I and other developers checked showed arrival times of 00:00 across the entire day, so riders would be unable to check full schedules. Hopefully the issue is still being worked on by WMATA. There has been no correspondence from them other than the above alert on their developer page.
100pm I see that WMATA has updated their message on their site, but I'm still seeing 00:00 as the arrival time on all schedule data.
Attention: January 2, 2014 - The problem with bus schedule data has been resolved.
1/4/14 - 900am Schedule data appears to be back, and for the most part service seems to be restored. However, a few individual routes appear to still be missing route details, including direction data, meaning riders of routes such as 16P will not be able to browse bus stops.

Taking Control of My Ads
In app ad banners are my primary method of app monetization. I've limited myself mostly to Apple's iAD, and Google's AdMob. I have dabbled a bit with TapIt, but found the eCPM to be really disappointing. The eCPM is a metric that tells you how much you earn for every 1000 ad impressions on your apps. When I initially hooked my apps up with these networks in October 2012, iAd was by the far the highest earner, far surpassing AdMob's eCPM. So I structured my iOS apps to request iAd impressions, with an automated fail-over to AdMob impressions when iAd failed to give me an ad.
This format worked like a charm until AdMob unexpectedly surpassed the eCPM of iAd. iAd's rates had decreased and AdMob's had increased. Overall I was seeing higher payouts, so I stuck with the existing iAd to AdMob fail-over model. Part of this reasoning was a blind faith that over time iAd would reestablish it's higher eCPM. This hasn't happened. After some nice spikes in May from iAd, the rate has dropped to a really unsustainable level. I'm talking around $.30 per 1000 impressions vs. $.80+ from AdMob. After taking losses for the first week of June, I altered my top earning iOS app (DC Metro and Bus) to using AdMob's ad engine exclusively. 1) Because it's paying out considerably higher rates, and 2)AdMob's 'Mediation' functionality allows me to rank other ad networks (including iAd) with an eCPM value. AdMob will serve me up ads from the ad network that I think is paying highest. This setting is configurable on the fly and allows me to react to changing rates on the fly rather than with a slow app update into the market.


Estonian culture offers a lot of different folkdances. How youngsters think about it.
Estonia – a tiny country in northern Europe, with only 1.3 Mio inhabitants. For many people it is not that popular. But indeed, it is offering loads of interesting sides! Estonians are called "singers and dancers". This is actually a very important part of their culture.
There is a diversity of traditional dances and for Estonians it is important to keep them.
But what do youngsters think about folkdancing? Is it only a hobby for old people or are young people interested in learning these traditional dances aswell? As a member of a dancing group in Valga, South Estonia, I asked the other youngsters about this topic.
In fact, folkdancing is more popular for old people than for youngsters. But nevertheless, there exist young dancing groups too. Many of the members said that they chos folkdance because it is special. Some of them already tried other dance styles, like hiphop or showdance, but as they didn't like it that much, they tried folkdance. And they say that it was such a good choice! It's also a good chance to meet new people, finding new friends. Most of the dances are group dances, that means that you always have to look for the other dancers aswell. As a result, no one dances alone. Instead all the dancers interact with each other and belong to the same "team." Inside the group, between the members, there is a friendship and a good work together.
In addition, folkdancing is sport: you're body becomes more flexible and your coordination will be trained. Another aspect is that you are getting traditional knowledge. For example the clothes: These are linen shirts and wool skirts with stripes, colorful belts and ribbons. Every single region has its own colours and its own meaning for those. In addition, many people wear a brooche.
To the question about their favourite dance, the majority answered that it is "Tuljak". "Tuljak" is one of the most important dances, you could call it the "anthem of the dances".
It's a very fast one with lively music in the background. The plot of this dance is about the relationship between men and women. The dancers do not only follow a choreography – emotions and feelings are included aswell. The man is following the woman, but she is ignoring him, afterwards she wants to come back to him, but now he is the one who turns his head away... In between and for sure also finally in the end they take the other's hand and dance together. You could describe it as a "game" between the pair.
One big dream of probably every dancing group is to go to the big singer and dance festival (laulu- ja tantsupidu) in Tallinn. This is probably one of the "most Estonian adventure" you can ever have. More than 40,000 people are joining and presenting these traditional dances and songs in Kalevi staadionil. But not every one can participate: dancing groups have to qualificate already some months before. They have to show the dances and present their skills and a jury is deciding who is allowed to join. That means hard training for every single dancing group.
On singers and dancers festival Estonians are having a special feeling of community and unit. Their culture is like a connection between everyone.
For me, as a German girl, who had no experiences about traditional dances before, it is so interesting to have such a detailed view into this part of Estonian culture. Going to the dance festival would be so great.


Ousted Kabul Bank CEO Khalilullah Ferozi and others have reportedly had their assets frozen.
Officials say Afghan authorities have banned the sale of properties owned in the Afghan capital by two former top executives of troubled Kabul Bank, the country's largest privately owned bank.
Thousands of depositors have been queuing outside branches of Kabul Bank amid reports that the institution was at risk of collapsing because of dubious loans and risky investments.
The Afghan government and the Central Bank have repeatedly said the bank remains stable.
Central Bank spokesman Aimal Hashoor today said the assets of Kabul Bank's former chairman and its former chief executives, as well as those of several other shareholders and major borrowers, have been frozen "until the situation becomes clear."

Holger Rune was knocked out of the Australian Open in the cruelest fashion
Moments ago, Holger Rune crashed out of the Australian Open in the most agonizing fashion. Eurosport experts agreed that they have never seen anything like it in the history of tennis.
Rune let a 5-0 lead slip in the deciding set tiebreaker, where the first to 10 is the win, but that wasn't why Rune will feel as sick as a parrot trying to rationalize how he lost this one.
No one can rationalize it – it was simply too bizarre.
Danesker went into shock
At 10-9 in the tiebreak on match point, Rune's Russian opponent Andrey Rublev – who, at 25, is six years older than the Dane and ranked four places higher at number five – thought he had hit his answer in the net, and he did. actually hit the headband at the top.
But instead of leaping into his lane, it did the impossible, violently changing direction to spin into Rune's side, just inside the line, barely a meter from the foot of the net.
Rublev sank to the floor in disbelief, but to his credit he immediately apologized as he came to the net to hug his stunned opponent. Rune was in shock, but took it well. Overall, his temperament seems to be much improved from the beginning of last year.
Pundits: The game was Rune's for the taking
The outrageous luck allowed Rublev to see out a five-set victory 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6, but Eurosport pundits afterwards agreed that Rune should have progressed .
Not only did he lead the tiebreak 5-0 thanks to mini-breaks, but he also served for the match at 5-3 and they squandered two match points at 6-5 on Rublev's serve.
That service game, more than any other game, summed up his inexperience and lack of quality when the going gets tough: his 4-2 and 5-5 service games were executed with astonishing efficiency, but when he needed it most, he was broken to love: just the whimper of the match on his grace.
Expert: Rune is a genius
Multiple grand slam winner Mats Wilander echoed Boris Becker's thoughts in the analysis after the match: The rune forehand is simply too unorthodox to withstand the pressure from the big points.
His technique, especially the shape of his shoulders as he is the ball, makes him too stiff at times when he badly needs fluidity.
Otherwise, Wilander believes there are strong indications that Rune is a genius who never stops thinking creatively – his surprise rocket second serve is a prime example – and that he is surely destined for greatness.
Today's defeat, the Swede concludes, is simply part of the "learning process".

When is the best time to take out a loan?


Switzerland was founded in 1291 and is located in the middle of western Europe and shares much of its history and culture with Germany, Austria, Italy, and France.
Although being right smack in the middle of Europe, Switzerland is not part of the European Union.
While there were talks between the EU and Switzerland in the mid-1990s, the Swiss public rejected the proposal to be part of EU.
Since then, Switzerland has maintained its economic independence.
Switzerland is considered to be a small country, but let us tell you that it is PACKED! It has a population of about 7.78 million, with around 477 people per square mile.
Switzerland is also known for its neutrality as it has refrained from participating in either of the two World Wars.
Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of per capita income (that's total GDP divided by the country's population).
In 2010, it produced $529.9 billion in total output. As small as it is, on a per person basis, it boasts of a GDP of $46,815, which is seventh highest in the world.
Its main trading partners are Germany, the U.S., France, Italy, Austria, Russia, and the U.K. Like Japan, Switzerland is also highly dependent on its exports, which make up about $308.3 billion or 58.2% of its GDP.
Switzerland's main industries are machinery, chemicals, textiles, precision instruments and watches. Don't laugh at that last one – it actually comprises a decent chunk of Switzerland's output! Anyway, it's time to move on!
The Swiss National Bank (SNB), which is presently chaired by Mr. Thomas Jordan, conducts the nation's monetary policy by influencing the country's monetary and credit conditions.
The Governing Board, which is responsible for determining the bank's policies, consists of 3 members – the Chairman, Vice Chairman, and a third member. That's right – only three people are part of the board!
Unlike most central banks, the SNB sets a target range for its desired interest rate (also called Libor) rather than a fixed figure for three months.
On top of its purpose to control the country's money supply and influence interest rates, the SNB has a more on-hand role in keeping the CHF's valuation stable.
An excessively strong CHF could cause inflation to spike and could also undermine the country's exports.
With Switzerland's strong reliance on their exports, the SNB, favors a weaker CHF and does not hesitate to intervene in the forex markets to weaken it.
One of the major monetary policies of the SNB is inflation targeting. The bank's inflation target, which is monitored in the CPI, is below 2% a year.
The bank will then attempt to influence the country's actual inflation rate through open market operations and by adjusting the Libor rate.
Speaking of open market operations, the bank influences the Libor rate through short-term repurchase (repo) transactions.
A repo transaction involves selling of a particular security for cash and agreeing to repurchase the same security at a later date.
If the interest rate in the open market rises over the SNB's desired band, the central bank will supply the other banks with more liquidity through repo operations at lower repo rates.
On the other hand, the SNB can reduce liquidity by increasing the repo rate, eventually increasing the Libor rate as well.
On the fiscal side, one attractive fiscal policy that Switzerland has is that they have some of the lowest tax rates among developed nations. In fact, it is often referred to as a "tax haven" nation.
Corporate tax rates in Switzerland run from 8.5% to 10.0%. This, in addition to its bank secrecy laws, makes Switzerland one of the most business-friendly nations in the world.
Not too long ago, France, Belgium, and Luxembourg also termed their currencies as francs… until they adopted the cooler euro, that is.
At present, Switzerland is the only one using the franc as its currency, the Swiss Franc (CHF).
Among financial geeks, the Swiss Franc is known as the "Swissy".
Switzerland is considered to be politically neutral due to its bank secrecy laws, giving the CHF a "safe haven" status as well. Usually, during times of economic uncertainty, investors move their funds into Switzerland, causing the CHF to gain in value.
I'm still stuck in the bling-bling era!
Not only do the Swiss refuse to join the "cool kids" of the EU, but they are also the only country that still adheres to a gold standard.
About 25% of the country's money is backed with gold reserves, giving the CHF a 80% correlation with the price of gold. This means that whenever the price of gold rises, the CHF could stand to benefit as well.
GDP – The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the measure of the country's total value of all final goods and services. The report gauges the change in the economy's total output from the previous period.
Retail sales – The headline retail sales report measures the monthly change in the total value of sales at a retail level.
Consumer Price Index (CPI) – The CPI measures the change in the prices of a basket of goods and services. The CPI is followed closely by the SNB, as it uses the report to help in its inflation analysis.
Balance of Trade – The balance of trade measures the total difference in value between exported and imported goods in the country. Switzerland has a very robust export industry so traders often use the country's trade balance to measure how well the economy is faring.
As mentioned earlier, the CHF has an 80% correlation with the price of gold, as 25% of Switzerland's cash is backed with gold reserves.
When gold prices go up, the CHF usually goes up as well. Conversely, when gold prices slide, the CHF likewise declines.
Developments in the Euro Zone and the U.S.
Since Switzerland is an export-dependent country, it is vastly affected by the economic development of its major trading partners in the eurozone and the U.S.
Switzerland's major export partners in the euro zone are Germany (21.2%), France (8.2%), Italy (7.9%), and Austria (4.5%).
The U.S., meanwhile, takes about 8.7% of Switzerland's exports. Poor economic performance in any of these countries could mean less business for Switzerland.
Political tension in its neighbors in Europe, particularly in the euro zone, could cause traders to seek the safety of the Swissy.
Remember that the euro zone is a brood of 16 states with the ECB directing and implementing a set of monetary policies for the entire group.
Given that the economies of the member-countries grow at different paces, ECB policies sometimes go against what a single nation needs at that specific time.
USD/CHF is also affected by the cross exchange rates like EUR/CHF. A jump in the EUR's valuation due to a hike in the ECB's interest rate, for example, could spill the Swissy's weakness onto other currency pairs like USD/CHF.
Switzerland's main industry is banking and finance. Merger and acquisition (M&A) activities, or simply the buying and selling of firms, are very common.
How can this affect the spot prices of the CHF?
For example, if a foreign firm wishes to acquire a business in Switzerland, it will have to pay for it using CHF. On the other hand, if a Swiss bank, for example, wishes to purchase a US firm, it will then have to dump its CHF for the USD.
USD/CHF is traded in the amounts denominated in USD. Standard lots sizes are $100,000 while mini lot sizes are $10,000.
The pip value, which is denominated in CHF, is calculated by dividing 1 pip (0.0001) by USD/CHF's rate.
Profit and loss are denominated in Swiss francs.
For one standard lot position size, each pip fluctuation is valued at 10 CHF.
For one mini lot position size, each pip fluctuation is worth 1 CHF.
To illustrate, if the prevailing market rate of USD/CHF is 1.0600 and you want to trade one standard lot, then one pip would be equivalent to 9.4340 USD.
Margin calculations are typically in USD. At 100:1 leverage, you need $1,000 to control 100,000 units of USD/CHF.
The Swissy pairs (USD/CHF and EUR/CHF) are usually active during the European trading session only.
Both currency pairs tend to be range-bound most of the time. Given this, they are mostly susceptible to sudden spikes and breakouts.
As we mentioned earlier, the SNB is very much keen on monitoring the valuation of the Swissy. It is notoriously known to intervene in the forex market to weaken the CHF especially when it reaches some historical key levels.
For example, if USD/CHF falls back to its yearly low due to an increase in risk appetite, the SNB could just be lurking around to push the pair back higher.
You could also trade the Swissy by monitoring the economic fundamentals of its major trading partner, the eurozone. Any economic or political tension in the euro zone could lead investors back to the safety of the Swissy.
Given this, currency crosses like EUR/CHF could also be used to trade, for example, the USD/CHF. A rate hike by the ECB which boosts EUR/CHF could also spill over on USD/CHF.

Steve McQueen's Bullitt Mustang Sells For A Whopping $3.4 Million

No Comments on Steve McQueen's Bullitt Mustang Sells For A Whopping $3.4 Million
The incredible hammer price was fetched at the Kissimmee Mecum Auction, making the 1968 Fastback the most expensive Mustang ever auctioned publicly.

As the wooden hammer cracked against the block, the automotive world was stunned at the dollar amount flashing above the stage. On January 10, 2020, the 1968 Ford Mustang GT390 Fastback driven by the legendary Steve McQueen in Bullitt cemented itself in history as the most expensive Mustang ever sold at a public auction. This beats the previous record by $1.2 million, as a 1967 Mustang GT500 Super Snake sold for $2.2 million at Kissimmee in 2019. The $3.4 million hammer price also makes the Bullitt Mustang the most expensive American muscle car ever auctioned.
The car's owner, Sean Kiernan, requested that the bidding start at a mere $3,500. This unusually low price was due to all previous purchases of the car being $3,500 (Sean's father and previous owner Frank Marranca both purchased the car for $3,500), and Sean wanted to stick with tradition. The following bid immediately jumped to $1 million, and then to $2 million quickly after.
The battered Highland Green Mustang still shows the remains of filming Bullitt, including additional brackets welded for camera mounts and the modified engine to enhance that symphonious exhaust growl. The chase scene in which McQueen's Mustang appeared in is widely heralded as the most influential car chase in film history, paving the way for the chase scenes of today.
McQueen's cars have a history of selling for outrageous prices, and the Bullitt Mustang joins impressive company. A McQueen-owned 1976 Porsche 930 Turbo sold for $1.95 million in 2015, and McQueen's 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB by Scaglietti sold for $10.18 million in 2014.
The hype and excitement surrounding the sudden unearthing of the Mustang will likely never be replicated. The buyer remains a mystery, but they have just collected a vehicle that is chock-full of movie history. Who knows when the rusty, beaten GT390 will appear again at auction, perhaps it will continue to set records?
Below is the chase scene from Bullitt.

Leopoldo Sucre Figarella (Tumeremo, estado Bolívar, Venezuela, 1 de agosto de 1926-Caracas, 16 de octubre de 1996) fue un ingeniero y político venezolano, de amplia trayectoria en la gerencia pública de su país, ocupando cargos de gran relevancia para el desarrollo industrial venezolano, como ministro de Obras Públicas y de Comunicaciones y posteriormente como presidente de la Corporación Venezolana de Guayana. Vinculado al partido Acción Democrática, fue elegido Senador al Congreso de la República en representación de su estado natal en 1994, periodo que no llegó a concluir debido a su deceso en 1996. Estuvo casado con Cruzana Ortega, unión de la cual nacieron 3 hijos.

Primeros años
Sucre Figarella fue hijo de José Manuel Sucre, propietario de una mina de oro en el Estado Bolívar e Inés Figarella Cordoliani, descendiente de una familia corsa, y hermano menor del general Juan Manuel Sucre Figarella. Realizó estudios de bachillerato en el liceo Peñalver, de Ciudad Bolívar. Luego marchó a Caracas, para cursar su educación superior, obteniendo el título de ingeniero civil en la Universidad Central de Venezuela. Desde su época de estudiante se inició en la política entrando a las filas del partido Acción Democrática, desempeñándose como representante del mismo dentro de la Facultad de Ingeniería ante el Consejo Universitario de la UCV. Al egresar de esta casa de estudios en 1949, se convirtió en secretario de finanzas de su organización partidista.

Paralelamente trabajó en el Instituto Nacional de Obras Sanitarias, ente entonces adscrito al Ministerio de Obras Públicas, en el estado Miranda. En 1950 es nombrado jefe de la fracción de ingenieros de Acción Democrática y posteriormente, durante la dictadura de Marcos Pérez Jiménez, debió mantener su afiliación partidista con un perfil bajo, pasando a la clandestinidad. Una vez terminada la dictadura, Sucre Figarella es llamado por el presidente Rómulo Betancourt, quien lo designa Gobernador del Estado Bolívar en 1960.

Durante su estancia en el gobierno
En 1962 fue designado ministro de Obras Públicas, una gestión que se prolongó por siete años, toda vez que el presidente Raúl Leoni decide mantenerlo en el cargo. Al frente de ese ministerio se construyeron varias de las obras de infraestructura más notables en la Venezuela del siglo XX, como la Avenida Boyacá, el Distribuidor La Araña y la segunda etapa de la Avenida Libertador, en Caracas; los puentes "Rafael Urdaneta" -sobre el lago de Maracaibo-, "Angostura" -sobre el río Orinoco- y "José Antonio Páez" -sobre el río Arauca-; las autopistas Tejerías-Valencia, Valencia-Puerto Cabello y Ciudad Bolívar-Puerto Ordaz-Upata, la ampliación del Aeropuerto Internacional Simón Bolívar y el arranque de la segunda etapa de la represa de Guri. En 1975, con el regreso de Acción Democrática al gobierno, es encargado del Ministerio de Comunicaciones, gestión en la cual dio inicio a las obras del Centro Postal de Caracas.

En 1984 es nombrado presidente de la Corporación Venezolana de Guayana, con rango de Ministro de Estado, por el presidente Jaime Lusinchi. En esta posición, impulsa el desarrollo de la región de Guayana de manera extraordinaria, concluyendo e inaugurando la central hidroeléctrica de Guri, ahora llamada "Raúl Leoni"; las autopistas Ciudad Bolívar-Ciudad Guayana y Ciudad Guayana-Upata; las carreteras El Dorado-Santa Elena de Uairén y Ciudad Bolívar-Caicara-Los Pijiguaos, incluyendo puentes sobre los ríos Caura, Cuchivero, Suapure, Parguaza y Caroní. En su gestión se dieron curso a las obras de las centrales eléctricas "Macagua" y "Caruachi" y se ampliaron las capacidades de las empresas básicas de la región: Sidor, Ferrominera, Venalum, Alcasa e Interalumina. Asimismo, durante su gestión se mejoró la infraestructura sanitaria de la región, con la construcción de los hospitales de Caicara, El Callao y Santa Elena de Uairén. Entre otras obras de infraestructura, también se destacan los Palacios de Justicia de Ciudad Bolívar y Ciudad Guayana.

Durante los últimos años de su vida, y particularmente durante su periodo parlamentario, fue un férreo crítico de los planes de privatización de las empresas básicas guayanesas en las discusiones al respecto llevadas a cabo en el extinto Congreso Nacional.

Trump re-election website selling 'American Dreamer' hats
Rich MitchellFebruary 28, 2018
President Donald Trump's campaign website is selling "American Dreamer" hats for $50.00 to support the president's run for re-election in 2020.
"We all want to live the American dream and our 45th President is helping to make that dream a reality for each and every American," the product description says. "With our American Dreamer Hat you can show that you believe we can Make America Great Again."
The hats are made in the U.S.A. and feature white embroidered lettering on blue background. On the front of the hat, AMERICAN DREAMER is embroidered in all-caps. The rear features MAGA and the left side an American flag.
The heading for the description says "Because Americans are dreamers too" as a direct swipe at progressives label for young illegal immigrants who they call "dreamers."

Q: flask mega tutorial, how to auto set size=32 to change with window size I have been following the flask mega tutorial and I came across this part of code. "size=32" only sets a set size for the input box so when I change my window screen to a different size, it doesn't change accordingly.
I was wondering if there is a way to replace the "size=32" with something else.

{{ form.username.label }}

            {{ form.username(size=32) }}

            {% for error in form.username.errors %}

Q: String to call specific data from a host Inventory Looking for some guidance on how to get this code to point to the correct inventory within the Zabbix API.
Currently it is pulling all data from Inventory > Hosts > Latest Data.
Basically i'm trying to get this to change, to request the data grab to go to Inventory > Hosts > > Details and then grab the following 'Location latitude' and 'Location longitude'
My first assumption was the application within the def() getInventory was the culprit to change but it seems that even when I change that my output is the same.

A: Refer this Documentation.. https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/api/reference/host/object#host-inventory..
below simple python script works for me
#using token
import requests
import json
# replace <your zabbix server ip> in url
url = 'http://<your zabbix server ip>/api_jsonrpc.php'
#replace <your zabbix auth token> in payload
payload = '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "host.get", "params": {"output": ["hostid","host","name","status"],"selectInventory": ["os_full","tag","location","location_lat","location_lon"]}, "auth": "<your zabbix auth token>", "id": 1 }'
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json-rpc'}
r = requests.post(url, data=payload, headers=headers)
hostslist = r.json()['result']
print(hostlist)

Here is the Python Script using username and password
from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI

ZABBIX_SERVER = 'http://<your zabbix server>'
with ZabbixAPI(ZABBIX_SERVER) as zapi:
    zapi.login('<username>', '<password>')
    hosts = zapi.host.get(output=['hostid','itemid','name','lastvalue','units','desciption'], selectInventory=['location','location_lat','location_lon'])
    for host in hosts:
        print(host)
