Explore the heart of Denmark

The Triangle Region is situated in the very heart of Denmark and offers some of the country’s most beautiful scenery and a wide range of unforgettable outdoor adventures. The stunning countryside includes peaceful forests and more than 240 km of coastline sprinkled with numerous fine sandy beaches where the water is shallow and the sea is calm. The fjords provide plenty of sheltered beaches, which are great for swimming.

The Triangle Region is a metropolis of possibilities – a hub of culture, history, food, sport and nature. We’re home to Michelin-starred restaurants, UNESCO World Heritage sites and some of the most popular tourist attractions in Denmark.

It might not have the biggest cities in Denmark, but the Triangle Region is the Danish capital for children, musicals and design.

The Triangle Region and the Event Centre are easy to access by road (car or bus), rail and air.

Kolding, Fredericia and Vejle are easily assessable by bus or train. Rail and bus infrastructure is good with easy access between all venues,  See www.dsb.dk or www.bustrafik.dk.

Nearest major airports are Billund Airport (28 km to Event Centre), Hamburg Airport (260 km), and Copenhagen Airport (240 km). There is regular bus service from Billund Airport and regular train service from Copenhagen Airport.

People with relation to the WOC-athletes:

About the Collection

It's no secret that many of us are obsessed with vintage wallpaper. While some original vintage wallpaper can be found scarcely during our renovations with enough texture and color to leave wonder. Others have fortunately found whole rooms of intact wallpaper begging to be preserved and incorporated into our modern homes.

For us, we have been collecting vintage wallpaper and old blueprints from Detroit buildings on our salvage jobs and treasure hunts and transforming them into these one-of-a-kind prints.

We hope you enjoy this third series of The Vintage Wallpaper Collection.

The Full Story

Hello!  My name is Bren Axon.

I’ve always been mad about animals, with a special passion for dogs and horses since a child.  Every birthday or Christmas  I would, without fail ask for a puppy.  Sadly, a puppy was something I was never to have as a child.    Instead we had cats, and though they were,  in the eyes of this child, a poor substitute for a puppy, I still adored them. I was also horse mad as most little girls are, and had lessons at a local riding school.

When I was about 10 or 11 years old I decided, as I didn't have a dog of my own, to become the neighbourhood dog walker.  There was Sally, (always my favourite) the dreadfully obese yellow Lab who lived down the street, who could spot a dropped item of food from a good 100 yards.  Shane, the young, extremely large, exuberant Lab who lived opposite. He probably weighed the same as me at that time, and quite literally used to drag me the two miles to the park and back.  There was also Rudy, a female Airedale who was owned by the couple who ran our local post office and whose best pals were a couple of squirrel monkeys that the owners kept.   They all became “my dogs” in the absence of my own and I have very happy memories of the hours I spent walking (or being dragged around) the neighbourhood and taking them to our local parks.

It was not until after I had married and was into my early thirties that my husband and I moved out of London which meant we were able to have a dog.  Gosh, I waited a long time for her! She was a black German Shepherd puppy called Miss Piggy.

I recall my husband saying when I first broached the subject of having a dog, (before we were married) that he "certainly never wanted a dog, nor was he ever going to".  It suffices to say my determination was such that we have in fact always had two dogs in our home.  I work on the philosophy that you might as well have two dogs if you are going to have one, so Mr. Faro, a 22 month rehomed German Shepherd from the same breeder joined us when Miss Piggy was 11 months. For the last 21 years, our breed of choice has been a giant breed, the Leonberger. However, we must not forget our beloved black Lab, Bruno who was an RSPCA rescue and who was the most wonderful boy.

I spent most of my working life in lawyers’ offices in London and the South West of England. I volunteered with the RSPCA for many years with experience of the day to day running of a busy branch which included the rehoming of dogs and cats in our care. I also served the RSPCA as a member of the South West Regional Board during my time with them which I regarded as an honour.

I became a Magistrate too, presiding in the Criminal and Family Courts which was a humbling and life changing experience for me.

I have a long history of volunteering not just with animal related charities but also human centred ones. I’ve a counselling qualification and for several years back in the UK I volunteered for a national organisation which helps people who are suicidal and despairing. I also volunteered with Victim Support.  Once we arrived  in Canada, I looked for volunteer opportunities here.   I believe that all I’ve experienced in my working life, along with volunteering with animals and people has given me valuable skills which I now bring to my current occupation.

In 2006 we emigrated to Canada.  Moving enabled me to pursue a lifelong dream, which was to have a job working with animals and become a certified dog trainer.  I started boarding dogs in our home in  2008 which I continued until mid 2020.  I began pursuing my quest to become a dog trainer way back in 2007 by taking a two week course for trainers in Washington State, run by Terry Ryan.  Later, in 2008 I attended a 3 day seminar in Vancouver given by Dr. Ian Dunbar which  really gave me the impetus to get on with the nuts and bolts of being a trainer. I graduated with Honours from the Animal Behaviour College in 2010.

I am a professional member of the Pet Professional Guild, a well-known international organisation that promotes positive and humane methods of dog training and handling. I am also a member of the Pet Professional Network, an organisation supporting force free pet professionals around the world to help them improve and grow their businesses.  Both organisations have a strict code of ethics that their members are expected to uphold and I am regarded as a member in good standing in both organisations.

I am constantly updating my knowledge about dogs and their behaviour by attending seminars, workshops, webinars and taking on-line courses in order to further my education in the force free training  of our canine companions and offer my clients the best service that I can.  However as trainers, we never stop learning and every new dog we meet teaches us something.

At present, my husband and I share our lives with two Leonbergers, Juno and Arik. Juno was 9yrs old in April 2022. Arik was born in 2020.  The name "Arik" is an old Norse name, and means "Leader" or "Noble One".

He’s a very intelligent boy and has certainly been challenging! But that’s good for a trainer, because as I said above, every dog teaches us something new and Arik is no exception! Both our dogs have their nicknames; Juno's is "Mummy's Princess".  Arik's generally referred to as "The Monster" (along with some other less repeatable epiphets!!)

My training services are based in Brentwood Bay, Victoria BC and I serve an area which covers a 25 minute drive from my home.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Shoppers can expect to save on a few items, such as school supplies, for this years’ tax-free weekend.

From Friday, Aug. 5, until Sunday, Aug. 7, customers can take advantage of the state’s sales tax holiday and stock up on a variety of items.

With the school year right around the corner, parents and teachers can use this as an opportunity to skip paying sales tax on certain products — and save up to 5.3% to 7% on school supplies.

“The public really loves to come out and shop when they’re not paying the extra 5.3%…why not buy them and save that tax money when you have the chance to,” President and CEO of Saxon Shoes Gary Weiner said.

What’s more, the sales tax holiday applies to products beyond school supplies. There are also select emergency preparedness products and energy saving appliances included in the list of items available for purchased without sales tax. Check out a list of eligible items below.

Young M.A isn't shy when it comes to trying her hand at various endeavors. Her latest is her directorial debut for an all-female adult film for Pornhub. The premium content will serve as the first edition of the adult entertainment giant's new Visionaries Director's Club series.

The rapper serves as the director for the film dubbed as The Gift. The erotic visual features seven girls, and the Brooklyn native went behind-the-scenes to explain the project's inspiration.

"It's about a girl, a virgin," says the 26-year-old. "It's her birthday and a friend kinda like sends her off to this place where she's mysteriously walking through different rooms and stuff and finding out, you know, paradise."

The film, she says, ties in with her album Herstory, because her sexual orientation is, of course, part of her story. "We don't have to put no titles on it just know that it's women only," she says.

The Gift looks to hone in the porn industry's female audience and diversify the type of content that is produced on a day-to-day basis. Music from Young M.A is expected to play during the visual at "key moments."

The Herstory rapper is still keeping up with her music career as she recently channeled her inner Allen Iverson, paying homage to the basketball Hall-of-Famer on "Praktice."

Check out the rest of the behind-the-scenes video as well as the sultry teaser below.

“YASA’s revolutionary electric motor is set for big things”

– Tech Crunch

Following the acquisition of YASA by Mercedes, our founder and CTO, Tim Woolmer, has met with Tech Crunch to discuss how his invention, the axial flux motor, could be a mobility game-changer.

"YASA’s axial-flux electric motors generated EV industry interest because of their efficiency, high power density, small size, and low weight.

By contrast, the ‘radial’ electric motor design is more common in today’s EV market. Even Tesla relies on radial electric motors, a legacy technology more than 40 years old with very little left to give in terms of innovation.

But YASA’s axial-flux design, which has very thin segments, means they can be combined into powerful single drive units. This makes them one-third the weight of other electric motors, more efficient, and with 3x higher power densities than Tesla."

Leeds Bradford Airport supports One Too Many campaign to discourage irresponsible drinking

Leeds Bradford Airport has pledged its support for the ‘One Too Many’ winter campaign aimed at educating holiday-goers on the consequences of drinking irresponsibly.

By Gemma Jimmison
Wednesday, 23rd January 2019, 12:28 pm
Updated Wednesday, 23rd January 2019, 12:38 pm

It has joined thirteen other airports already participating in the government–backed scheme which reminds millions of passengers that they could be denied boarding and face fines of up to £80,000, or jail for serious disruptive incidents if they are found to be disruptive in the airport or in the air.

The scheme was launched in July 2018 by leading aviation trade associations, the UK Travel Retail Forum (UKTRF), the Airports Operators Association (AOA), the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Airlines UK.

The summer campaign reached more than 1.6m people, and a new social media campaign was launched in December for a ten-week period, complete with revamped campaign imagery aimed at those making the most of the ski season or jetting off in search of winter sun.

The initiative also includes Point of Sale displays, Food and Beverage retailer notices and digital signs in the participating airports.

John Cunliffe, commercial director at Leeds Bradford Airport, said: “The One Too Many campaign has been a huge success at airports across the UK and we are proud to sign up as a partner of the winter campaign. There are very few incidents of alcohol- related disruptive behaviour at Leeds Bradford Airport and we already ensure that the penalties highlighted by the campaign are enforced when these incidents do occur.

“The Airport was already a signatory to the UK Aviation Industry Code of Practice on Disruptive Passengers and joining the One Too Many campaign was the natural next step for us in enforcing our zero tolerance approach.”

Incidents of disruptive behaviour are rare, but can be costly, cause substantial delays, and inconvenience fellow passengers and staff.

Francois Bourienne, chairman of the UK Travel Retail Forum, said: “We are thrilled to have Leeds Bradford Airport support the ‘One Too Many’ winter campaign to reinforce passengers flying over this busy flying season that irresponsible drinking and the associated behaviours will not be tolerated. These incidents were already rare, but we’re pleased to have experienced a reduction. For example, at Glasgow Airport incidents were reduced by 30% over the summer months in light of highlighting the zero-tolerance approach.

“Winter is a busy time across the UK’s airports as passengers take full advantage of the January holiday specials. As always there will be no exceptions for those who behave disruptively, and stiff penalties are already available to deal with those who inconvenience others through their behaviour. We encourage passengers to enjoy their journey and be mindful of their fellow travellers as they make it home or to their holiday destination.”

What to Think About Before Starting a Construction Company

The construction industry is one that, when done in the right way with plenty of thought and planning, can be very profitable indeed, and this could be why a lot of people like the idea of opening up their own construction business. Yet there is a lot to think about before you do this; we did say that it could be profitable when done right, and ensuring you are doing it right is crucial.

Rather than simply taking your experience as a contractor working for someone else and incorporating that into your business – a practice that won’t work because you’ll be missing out on essential elements – you’ll need to take your time and think carefully about exactly what you’re going to need to know and do before you launch. In that way, you can be sure that you’re making the right choice. Working in construction is one thing, but running a business in the construction industry is something else entirely. Read on to find out what you need to know and do before making any commitments.

Licenses and Permits

A contractor can’t just start work on someone’s property – they will need to have the correct licenses and permits in place to ensure they are skilled, trained, and experienced. Without these permits, you could find yourself in a lot of trouble. Not only that, but you may not get as much work as you need to survive; customers are sure to ask to see the licenses you have, and if you can’t provide them, they will take their work elsewhere.

The requirements for licensing are many and varied, and it can even depend on what state you’re in as to exactly what you need. Therefore, it will pay to do as much research as you can so that you know you’re applying for the correct licenses and permits, and that you do it in the right way.

Office Location

In this modern era of home and remote working, you might not have considered that you’ll need an office. However, although it would technically be possible to run a construction company from home, it is far better to have a dedicated office for it. This is because you will have various contractors working for you, and they will need a hub to plan their work together and meet up to get to their projects. Unless you have a separate office, they will be coming to your home, which might be inconvenient and will certainly feel chaotic. Plus, clients might need to come to you to discuss the work that needs to be done. Again, although home working is considered normal, it’s not necessarily the way you want your clients to see you.

On top of that, you’ll need to think of storage. As a construction business, you’ll have many tools, equipment, and materials that will need to be kept somewhere. An office with a warehouse attached will work perfectly.

Health and Safety Requirements

The construction industry requires some of the strictest adherence to health and safety rules and laws out of everything. This is because the chances of an accident occurring are deemed to be much higher than in other industries. When you are starting your own construction company, you’ll need to be completely aware of all the health and safety requirements that relate to what you’re doing, whether that be linked to equipment, materials used, working practices, who you can hire, where you can work, or anything else.

There are many rules to consider, but each will need to be followed precisely to keep you, your employees, members of the public, and your business safe. Remember, you can be fined, your business closed, or you might even be imprisoned if something happens and you weren’t following the rules, so learning them and putting plans in place to ensure you meet with them is crucial for everyone’s peace of mind.

Although as we’ve said it’s best to follow the rules and have processes in place to minimize the risk of an accident happening or mistake being made, sometimes they will happen anyway. As long as you were doing all you were meant to be doing, you probably don’t have to worry about the legal side of things, but there will still be many costs associated with fixing these errors, which is why insurance is important. If you had to pay for repairs or medical bills or anything else yourself, your business might have to close.

As well as being there as an added level of protection for you, your insurance will show your clients that you are taking all the proper precautions and help them know that, should something go wrong, you can make it right again. With insurance, you’ll get a lot more work because the public will be happy to use you, knowing they are protected.

A pretty interesting post, huh?

Expert Advice with Ian Hosking Richards 23/09/2013
I often get calls from potential investors who are particularly interested in finding an investment property that will give them positive cash flow. They may have read a book about buying for cash flow, or read an article somewhere, or been advised by a friend or work colleague. Now I would be the first to agree that minimizing holding costs is important.   However blindly chasing cash flow above all else is a mistake in my view, and often leads to bad investment decisions.
The first mistake most investors make is that they  assume that there is a close correlation between gross rental yield and positive cash flow.   For me, gross rental yield is not a good indicator of nett weekly cash flow, which is what really matters. For example, I took a call the other day from an investor who said he was only interested in positive cash flow, so I asked him what his definition of positive cash flow is. He said he would consider anything with a gross rental yield of at least 8%. Now it is quite difficult to find a property with a gross rental yield of 8%. Properties that offer this kind of yield are typically older style properties in fringe areas, which are not the kind of properties that I personally would be looking to add to my portfolio. However I tracked some down as an intellectual exercise and ran the cash flows, and even at 8% yield I could not get these properties to a cash flow positive position. And given the fact that generally speaking this type of property is unlikely to give much in the way of capital growth over time, my figures supported my assumption that these properties just did not stack up as good investments. So where are buyers of so-called cash flow positive properties going wrong?
It is immediately apparent what the problem is as soon as you do a nett weekly cash flow estimate – there is no maintenance budget. If you are buying an older property that has not been immaculately maintained it is imperative to build in a realistic maintenance budget. Once you factor this in, your cash flow positive property suddenly becomes cash flow negative. Furthermore, these types of property are ‘high risk’ in that they are usually in areas with low population bases and economies that lack the robustness and diversity of larger regional or metropolitan areas. It is easy to see how these investments can easily turn in to non-performing assets.
The second big mistake that investors chasing cash flow make is that cheaper price means cheaper to own. They buy the older ‘60s apartment for $250,000 rather than a better located brand new townhouse for $350,000 because they are more comfortable with the price range and assume that it will suit their circumstances better. However almost without exception, if they ran a cash flow estimate they would discover to their surprise that the more expensive property not only has greater potential for capital growth, but is also less expensive to own. How can that be?
Those of you who have read my articles on the benefits of buying new will already know the answer – with new properties you get two income streams. Not only do you get rental income, but you also get income in the form of non-cash deduction tax benefits on top of any other negative gearing benefits. Even on an average marginal rate of tax these benefits can be substantial, often adding an extra 20% or more on top of rental income which can be enough to ensure that the owner’s contribution is minimal, perhaps $20 or $30 per week or even less, depending on the size and source of the deposit.
When purchasing an investment property it is absolutely vital to have an accurate picture of how much the property will cost to own on a weekly basis. Gross rental yields are not a good indicator of holding costs. Variables such as the age of the property and whether it is a house or a unit can render the gross yields meaningless and could lead the unwary investor away from great growth assets with minimal holdings costs and towards lesser performing assets with hidden holding costs. If anyone would like me to send out a weekly cash flow estimator, please call the Rocket Office on 1300 850 038 and the team will be more than happy to provide you with this invaluable tool.

flooded town under blue sky and white clouds

Having brought the coronavirus that may have originated within its borders largely under control, China began struggling with a new crisis this summer: flooding.

Unusually heavy rains—more than double the seasonal average—wreaked havoc in central and southern areas of the country, leaving hundreds dead and disrupting the economy’s post-pandemic recovery. By mid-August, flooding had affected at least 63 million people, destroyed 54,000 homes, and caused at least $26 billion in economic losses.

In this post’s featured photo from July, residents in a boat float by a submerged house near Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province.

Experts say extreme weather is worsening around the world, with climate change the likely culprit. As temperatures rise, causing bigger storms and more flooding, China is particularly vulnerable, in part because it’s so densely populated.

Leaders have worked to reassure China’s 1.4 billion people that the government is doing everything it can to deal with worsening floods, but some people are still concerned. “It’s too scary how the water rose,” one Chinese resident, who would only give her last name, Zhang, says. “Humanity is insignificant in the face of disaster.”

This was a very well written article. I didn’t know that China is flooding and this article was very informing. I agree that climate change may be the problem due to major changing across the world.

The Zephyr Project Celebrates 5th Anniversary with new members and inaugural Zephyr Developer Summit on June 8-10

By June 3, 2021June 29th, 2021No Comments

AVSystem, Golioth, Pat-Eta Electronics, RISC-V International and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden joins Zephyr’s global open source RTOS ecosystem

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3, 2021 The Zephyr™ Project, an open source project at the Linux Foundation that builds a safe, secure and flexible real-time operating system (RTOS) for resource-constrained devices, continues to gain momentum with its 5th anniversary this year. To celebrate the milestone, the Zephyr Project is hosting its inaugural Zephyr Developer Summit on June 8-10. The virtual event, which is free to attend, features several Zephyr leaders presenting real-world use cases, best practices, tutorials and more.

Happy 5th Anniversary

Launched in 2016 by the Linux Foundation, the Zephyr Project has continued to grow its technical community each year. Today, almost 1,000 contributors have helped the project surpass 50,000 commits building advanced support for multiple architectures such as ARC, Arm, Intel, Nios, RISC-V, SPARC and Tensilica and more than 250 boards.

The first-ever Zephyr Developer Summit will offer community members a chance to learn more about the fastest growing RTOS in an informal educational environment.

“We are kicking off our first Developer Summit with an impressive line-up of Zephyr thought leaders and ambassadors for the growing Zephyr community of contributors and users.” said Joel Stapleton, Chair of the Zephyr Project Governing Board and Principal Engineer Manager at Nordic Semiconductor. “The strength of engagement the project has with its members and IoT solution providers reflects the importance of open source efforts to build secure and safe embedded technologies for increasingly connected applications in industrial, smart home, wearables and energy; and for computing platforms integrating microcontrollers with ever-increasing capabilities and functions.”

Sample summit sessions include power management, USB support, motor control; user presentations that showcase Zephyr with Renode and TensorFlow Lite and  RISC-V and contributor spotlights for securing MCUBoot, using OPC UA, energy-efficient device testing and developing hardware. Proposals were reviewed by the Programming Committee, which includes Anas Nashif, Intel; Carles Cufi, Nordic Semiconductor; Jonathan Beri, Golioth; Keith Short, Google; Maureen Helm, NXP; and Olof Johansson, Facebook.

The U.S. Executive Order on Cybersecurity

Less than a month ago, the United States White House released an Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity that addressed the malicious cyber attacks that have become more frequent in the last few years. In a blog, the Linux Foundation responded how Zephyr RTOS, along with several other projects, has already built some of the support needed for a more secure future. Zephyr is able to generate Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) automatically during the build and this capability will be available in the upcoming 2.6 release. It is one of the few open source projects that is a CVE Numbering Authority(CNA) and has an active Project Security Incident Response Team(PSIRT) that manages responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities to product makers.

Product creators using zephyr can sign up for free to be notified of vulnerabilities.

“SBOMs can communicate details about a software package’s contents, being able to understand exactly which source files are included in a resource constrained software image is key to understanding if it may be vulnerable to an exploit,” said Kate Stewart, Vice President of Dependable Embedded Systems at the Linux Foundation. “SBOMs created by manual processes can often be incomplete, incorrect or out-of-date as a software package advances. By being able to generate the SBOM during the build, and take it to the source file level, not just the component level, better diagnosis and detection of vulnerable states is possible and addresses some of the best practices  mentioned in the EO. Zephyr is being used today in thousands of wearables and other products with constrained environments. By automatically creating SBOMs during builds, the development process becomes easier, more efficient and improves maintainability in field.”

Zephyr’s Growing Ecosystem

Today, the Zephyr Project also welcomes AVSystem, Golioth, Pat-Eta Electronics, RISC-V and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden to its global RTOS ecosystem. These new members join Adafruit, Antmicro, BayLibre, Eclipse Foundation, Facebook, Fiware,, Google, Intel, Laird Connectivity, Linaro, Memfault, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP, Oticon, Parasoft, SiFive, Synopsys and teenage engineering, among others.

“We see amazing opportunities for IoT deployments involving resource-constrained devices operating in cellular LPWA networks,” said Marcin Nagy, Product Director for IoT, AVSystem. “We are sure that combining the Zephyr RTOS with our expertise in the Lightweight M2M standard will contribute to the acceleration of secure and standards-based IoT launches.”

“We can speak at length about the technical merits of Zephyr – the kernel design, native networking, scalable board support model and so on – but the largest differentiator is the community,” says Jonathan Beri, CEO of Golioth. “From chipset vendors to ecosystem players, it feels like we’re rising the tide for everyone to make the most secure & reliable open source RTOS in the market and we couldn’t be more excited to contribute to the project and community.”

“We are happy to be part of the Zephyr Project and hope to bring it more into the academic environment, especially within STEM (Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics),” said Sanyaade Adekoya, Developer, Programmer and Lecturer at Pat-Eta Electronics. “It has been challenging to bring RTOSes within the academic research sector and getting them in the hands of undergraduate learners. Our research extends the use of Zephyr RTOS in IoT, Edge Computing, Robotics, Smart and Wearable devices. The Zephyr Project will be a driving platform for our students that will make it easier for them to create ideas, projects, innovations and more. We look forward to showcasing our students’ Zephyr-related projects. ”

“RISC-V and Zephyr were both designed to drive innovation in the hardware space with open source technologies that are accessible to everyone,” said Mark Himelstein, CTO of RISC-V. “Many of our members are already taking advantage of the flexibility of RISC-V and Zephyr to design end-to-end open source solutions for resource-constrained devices. We look forward to collaborating with the Zephyr Project to offer even more opportunities for the open source community to innovate.”

“Zephyr RTOS enables us to rapidly prototype Thread wireless networks and is an excellent research platform for our work in IoT security,” said Samuel Lindemer, Research Engineer at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden. “The interactive shell and configuration menu make it intuitive for new users, and the open-source community support is unparalleled.”

How Chad Beat His Genetic Destiny and Got a Six-Pack by Age 60

by Chad Sands as told to Allison Goldstein

“Fasting is just the way I am now. It’s how I live my life.”

Meet Chad

My name is Chad Sands, and I’m 58 years old. I live about 45 minutes outside of Boston with my wife, our two sons, and our four-month-old puppy, Sophie.

I’ve yo-yo dieted my whole life. I was taught what we’re all taught: graze all day, eat less and exercise more, count calories. With each diet I tried, I ate carbs, snack bars, whatever I was supposed to, but you only have so much willpower. It wasn’t sustainable, and I had the closet to prove it: pants in every size, from size 30 waist to size 40.

Genetics Is Not Destiny

My dad also struggled with his weight, which I saw when I was growing up. My mother tried to provide the right food, but this was back in the ’70s and ’80s — people just didn’t know any better. My dad died of cancer when I was a teenager. He was 58.

I’m 58 now, which means I’m approaching the age he was when he passed. Seeing my dad struggle with — and ultimately give in to — poor health was the catalyst I needed to make sustainable changes to my own health. I’m determined to do things differently and be there for my sons.

I was already dabbling in intermittent fasting, so I started by going down internet rabbit holes about food and nutrition. Then, one day, I was having a conversation with my eldest son about how there are good routines and bad routines, good habits and bad habits, and that’s when it clicked: it was all about turning healthy practices — fasting, good nutrition, and exercise — into daily habits.

Healthy Habits

Once Zero helped me turn intermittent fasting into a habit, I lost 60 pounds in six months, and I’ve kept the weight off for almost a year now.

I start every morning with push-ups and a 30-minute walk with Sophie. Then, I make coffee with a little MCT oil, some grass-fed ghee, and some collagen mixed in. This style of fasting (called “dirty fasting” because of the fat calories from the MCT oil) is a great way to lose and manage weight because it promotes fat-burning and ketone production. Two cups will get me through 2 p.m., which is when I have my first meal. A pretty standard lunch for me is cottage cheese, chicken salad, and some blueberries — never anything out of a can or box.

Dinner will be whatever my lovely bride makes. We usually have some form of protein like steak, chicken, or fish, and a baked potato or rice. I don’t consume anything after 8 p.m., except maybe a cup of tea. Then, I fast until the next day.

Zero has been a huge help with keeping me on track. I log my fasts every day — another good habit. I’ve also turned into a data-hungry person, and Zero helps me see what’s going on and why these health habits work the way they do. I never used to weigh myself because it was such a horrible experience, but now I weigh myself three times a week. It’s just data. It’s not emotional anymore, because I know what I’m doing is working.

Here’s how I exercise: I walk 12,000 steps a day, on average, including a walk first thing in the morning. I also do bodyweight exercises every day, including push-ups and squats.

Here’s my favorite Fast Breaker: Eggs are my favorite, but a lot of the time I’m at work, so it’ll be whatever I packed for lunch. I always make sure my Fast Breaker is something healthy and unprocessed. That’s what makes me feel my best.

These three changes contributed the most to my weight loss success:

Change 1: Rejecting “genetic destiny.” I feel like a lot of people will look at their heavier parents and think, “oh, it’s in my DNA.” They use that as an excuse and give up. But it’s not all genetics. It’s what we eat and when we eat it.

Change 2: Making one hard choice instead of multiple hard choices. Before I found fasting, I was perpetually frustrated that I couldn’t keep my weight in check, and it was because I was constantly having to make choices throughout my day about what and when to eat. Fasting is a single choice that is simple to stick with. Eventually, it gets to a point where it’s automatic because you’ve made it into a habit. That’s what makes it sustainable.

Change 3: Developing healthy triggers. Back when I smoked, 22 years ago, the car was always a big trigger for me: if I got in the car, I had to have a cigarette. I wanted to do that for positive behaviors, so I thought, “What’s a better trigger than going to the bathroom?” Every day I wake up, go to the bathroom, and that’s my trigger to do push-ups.

I keep a picture of my dad on my desk. I miss him dearly, and that photo is a reminder of what could happen if I start eating the wrong things at the wrong times. But I won’t, because fasting is just the way I am now. It’s how I live my life.

2020 Western Pennsylvania Drought

The following was recently posted by the State College National Weather Service Office. The chart was produced by The Mid-Atlantic River Forecast Center (MARFC) which is co-located with The State College National Weather Service Forecast Office.

A neighbor asked to explain why Centre County was depicted as being a standout from the other counties.

For the 60-day period (6/13/2020 through 8/11/2020) Centre County’s areal precipitation was 3.2 inches which was 4.8 inches below normal for the period. A normal amount would have been 8 inches. This works out to be 60% below normal which is above the 50% threshold for the red portion of the scale. By comparison, here are the values for the surrounding counties: Blair 47%, Cambria 29%, Clearfield 47%, Clinton 41%, Huntington 43%, Mifflin 47%, Snyder 44%.

The River Forecast Centers use a distance weighting technique to calculate the areal precipitation. A grid of point estimates is made based on a distance weighting scheme. Each observed point value is given a unique weight for each grid point based on the distance from the grid point in question. The grid point precipitation value is calculated based on the sum of the individual station weight multiplied by observed station value. Once the grid points have all been estimated they are summed and the sum is divided by the number of grid points to obtain the areal average precipitation.

Here is a map of standardized precipitation index (SPI).

There is a bullseye of values between -2 and -1.5 over our region.

The SPI is a widely used index to characterize meteorological drought on a range of timescales. On short timescales, the SPI is closely related to soil moisture, while at longer timescales, the SPI can be related to groundwater and reservoir storage. The SPI uses precipitation only, and can characterize drought or abnormal wetness at different time scales which correspond with the time availability of different water resources (e.g. soil moisture, snowpack, groundwater, river discharge and reservoir storage).

Drought for the Northeast United States

As the above map indicates, southwestern Centre County is experiencing a moderate drought. The criteria for drought classification appears below.

July was lower than normal for precipitation for six counties in central Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania July 2020 Precipitation by County

The above graph shows all of the precipitation data I have collected since establishing my weather station in December 2015 until now. This past July was as dry as July 2016. However, August 2020 is on track to be the driest in 5 years.

Sun soaking in Sodwana

In April we had a little time to get away for a few days… We decided to join a few friends and go camping at Sodwana Bay. It was only for a few days, but it was relaxing as ever! Me and he-who-thinks-he’s-boss kept ourselves busy by lazing on the beach… running up and down the dunes… swimming in the ocean… reading magazines under the umbrella… you get the idea…

Buzzing by trees on the way to Sodwana - Have adjusted the levels a little as the photo was taken through the car window.

Sodwana is the only place in South Africa where you are allowed with your vehicle on the beach. Personally, to me this spoils the feeling and atmosphere of the beach. Nevertheless, we had a fun time!!!

Jumping of dunes

Wind waves on sand

In front of the lens (Say what?)

Due credit for the photo above… it wasn’t me – – – but he-who-thinks-he’s-boss – – – (my other half actually takes very good Black&White photos!! Some of them will be popping up on my blog every now and again!!)

The trees grow in the direction the wind blows them

Hope you enjoyed this post and photographs!! 🙂

Till next time!! **

Mountain Sanctuary Getaway

An impromptu decision to go on a one night getaway was quite a good one! We arrived at Mountain Sanctuary Park late last night. This park is nestled away from the hum-drum of everyday life in the city. This was a camping trip  – – – not my favourite thing to do – – – and seeing that it was already dark when we arrived at our camping spot, I was very relieved that me and my boyfriend (who will be known from here on as ‘he-who-thinks-he’s-boss’) decided to pack a mattress and sleep in the back of the truck! No setting up tents or any of those hassles.

It was very very very V.E.R.Y windy, which made for an unpleasant atmosphere. In South Africa it is common to “braai” at get-togethers (or whenever you want to eat tasty meat with a great friends – hence fantastic atmosphere). I think a BBQ would be the american version of a braai – – – but I’m sure not nearly as fun!! 😉

A typical image of a braai.

Wind can't ruin an evening with good company!

This morning started of slow… the wind only subsided late morning, which changed our plans for the day a bit. The guys went for their usual mountain biking, while the girls went for a walk in the “wild” 🙂 . All in all… it was short, but it truly was sweet!!! 😀

Remains of the braai

Mountain biking always on the agenda

Morgan Lee Takes Charge in SexLikeReal VR Fantasy ‘Sexy Submission’

LOS ANGELES — Morgan Lee stars in “Sexy Submission,” the latest VR fantasy for SexLikeReal from director OnTheTelly.

The fantasy centers on “Morgan as a no-nonsense Dominatrix with a commanding presence and an insatiable libido,” a rep noted. “The fantasy puts the VR viewer in the role of an enslaved boytoy that willingly abdicated his freedom for the opportunity to be dominated, disgraced and disciplined.”

OnTheTelly praised the star’s work.

“From the moment Morgan appears as the imposing raven-haired goddess staring her prisoner down with bewitching eyes, her ample-bosomed body ready to bust out of a lacy corset, fans will know they’re in for a wild ride,” OnTheTelly said. “Morgan literally has a captive audience, and she intends to use her authority to instruct her victim to pleasure the mistress in the precise way she desires, step by meticulous step. If the viewer obeys her commands verbatim, Morgan just might allow her worked-up sub a sweet and sticky release after her needs are met.”

Top Game Tips For Casual To Expert Gaming

There is no doubt that video games are fun, but the prices on some games can be ridiculous. Even avid gaming enthusiasts are wary of paying for games at high prices. You don’t have to pay full price for video games when you use the tips in the following article.

Buy wireless controllers for your video game systems. Playing video games can get pretty exciting. Many gamers jerk their controllers at one point or another. Some may even get so into a video game that they throw their controller across a room! In instances like these, it is disastrous to be tethered to a system. Wired controllers have been partly responsible for the destruction of many gaming systems.

Subtitles are a great feature that help you enjoy your game more. Is it hard to hear the dialogue above the background noise? Always seek out a subtitle option. Lots of video games have a section for the audio that is located on the menu. Here, you will be prompted to turn the subtitles on or off upon playing.

Try renting games before you buy them. It is hard to know if you will like a title or not. Therefore, go to a store that rents movies and games. In general, you can rent a game for a few dollars, and the money is usually well worth it. You can figure out if a game is a good purchase or not.

Customize your controls. Most games have advanced settings that let you alter how the game is controlled. Use these to your advantage. There is nothing that says you must play with the game’s default settings. For example, if you have become accustomed to jumping with one button and attacking with another, and your new game uses the opposite – change it!

If you can’t get past a particular level, turn off all noise, whether it is the in-game sounds or music that you have put on. This will help you to really focus on what is happening in front of you and you may have a better chance of progressing in the game.

As a parent, it is important to remember that children do not have an “off” switch in their brain. Without parental intervention, kids can (and will) play video games for many hours without stopping. It is important to monitor the amount of time your child can play their games. Set a limit and be consistent and firm with this limit.

Avoid buying the costly edition of games, unless they are a favorite. Many times, video games will have a special edition, but it isn’t necessary to have in order to play the game. By not purchasing the special edition you can save money on the video game and still enjoy it.

Be careful when it comes to playing online games. You will sometimes have to pay monthly fees in order to gain access. If you have a child who wants to join an online-gaming site, then you should check it out first. You need to find out if there is money involved and make a decision about the game justifying the cost.

Once your child enters middle school, you may give them a little more freedom when it comes to video games. However, it is important to still be aware, particularly when it comes to multiplayer games. Listen to make sure the language is appropriate. If not, take off the option for online play.

The best times to buy video games are during seasonal holidays. Retail stores and online platforms will generally hold sales around the winter holidays or during the middle of summer where new and used games will be sold at reduced prices. If you take advantage of these sales, you can get multiple games for the price of one new game that isn’t on sale.

To save some money on your video games, think about subscribing to a service that you can rent games from. The cost of these rental agreements for a year is usually less than the price of two games. You can keep the games until you beat them and just send them back and order another one.

Consider buying second hand video games instead of new video games. Video games can be very expensive to buy new. Therefore, if you are operating on a limited budget, you may want to consider buying your video games second hand. There are many places where you can buy second hand video games, including eBay and local car boot sales.

Bullying is a problem in the online gaming world. A lot of kids know the people they are playing with and gaming has become a way for bullies to harass and threaten kids online. Make sure that you know who your kids are playing games with online and keep them safe.

Make sure you pay attention to posture as you play games. If you’re sitting, try to use a stability ball for maintaining a properly aligned spine. If you get into the more physical games, make sure you stretch first, break often and don’t push yourself too hard while playing.

Understand that some games contain multi-player options, which can expose your children to others on the internet. In this case, you should be monitoring who your children are speaking to, as you do not want them to get too involved with strangers. This can help to put your child in the safest position possible.

Get up and take a break during marathon gaming sessions. Just push the pause button or wait until you’ve finished a level, and then get up and walk around. Take about five to ten minutes resting your eyes and hands, and then you can get back to the game where you left off.

Although video games come with a great deal of entertainment, they can also be quite expensive. Many people are reluctant to pay full price for a video game, and who can blame them. The next time you decide to purchase a video game, use the tips from this article and avoid paying full price.

SKU: ATS-L-POL-GBU Tags: , , , ,

Self-Canceling Turn Signal Kit with Billet Lever for UTV’s equipped with the new Polaris Pulse Busbar

XTC Power Products has stepped up the game with our all new Billet Turn Lever for the ATS. You will never leave your turn signal on with our new Self-Canceling Turn Signal System for the 19+ Polaris General and 18+ Ranger XP 1000. Similar to its predecessor, the TSS (Turn Signal System), the ATS is a Plug and Play easy install Polaris Pulse Busbar turn signal kit. The ATS consists of a small solid-state control box that performs its functions–differing from the prior generation’s larger control box. Like the TSS, the ATS Self-Canceling Turn Signal Kit is a modular design with vehicle specific SKUs.

How the ATS Works

The ATS with Billet Turn Lever part numbers includes a billet turn lever in lieu of the standard rocker switch. When you press the turn signal lever, the ATS will activate the turn blinker for a short duration and then self-cancel. This feature is useful for simple lane changes. On the other hand, an extended lever press will yield a longer blinker duration suitable for making left- and right-hand turns. You can manually cancel the turn signal by pushing the lever a second time.

Also Included

Also included in our Self-Canceling Polaris Pulse Busbar turn signal kit is a ‘Hazard/Horn’ rocker switch. Pressing the top ‘Hazard’ side of the actuator will turn on the hazard lights, pressing it again deactivates them. Furthermore, pressing the lower portion of the custom rocker switch will activate the included street legal FIAMM horn. Each ATS has a vehicle-specific harness that plugs inline with the rear factory taillight harness. The brake light signal passes through the ATS. As a result, the opposing brake light still functions normally while the activated turn signal brake light flashes.

Hands-on with the ATS Polaris Pulse Busbar Turn Signal Kit with Billet Lever

Unlike our competitors, all ATS kits include an auxiliary power out for a license plate light or whip lights. Moreover the aux power is good for powering our 6″ LED Lit License Plate Frame.  Above all, this system plugs directly into the new Polaris Pulse Busbar power connection. Without a doubt, it’s easy to install with no wires to cut and no crimping. Because of its size, the ATS is versatile to mount as well. Everything needed to integrate with your vehicles OEM brake light harness included. Unplug the rear light harness, plug-in ours, and enjoy. XTC Power Products, made in America and Wired For Fun®!

If you have a Polaris Ranger XP WITH OUT the Polaris Pulse busbar, use part number ATS-POL-RAN

If you have a 2016-18 Polaris General, use ATS-POL-GEN

Angular 2 Router: High-Level Overview

Another update. Oops, they did it again. In RC.5 routing configuration has been changed. Will update this blog by the end of August of 2016.

This blog was updated on July 24, 2016.

Angular 2 framework (currently in RC.4) offers a simple way to implement client-side navigation for Single-Page Applications (SPA). The new component router (currently v.3.0.0-beta.2) allows you to configure routes, map them to the corresponding components, and arrange user’s navigation in a declarative way. While working on a routing chapter for our book “Angular 2 Development with TypeScript” I created a number of small applications illustrating various routing scenarios:

– Configuring routes in the root component
– Configuring routes in both root and child components
– Passing parameters to routes
– Using routing with both Hash- and History API-based strategies
– Using auxiliary (independent) routes

You can find these sample apps on Github where we host and update all code samples for the book (see the chapter3 folder). But in this blog I’ll do a high-level overview of Angular 2 routing and will show you a basic working example where the routing is configured in the root component of the application.

When you visit any Web page the location bar of your browser shows a URL (see, you already learned something new!). The URL consists of a protocol, domain name, port, and in case of GET requests may have parameters after the question mark:

If you change any character in the above URL and press Enter, this will result in sending a request to the server and page refresh, which is not what we want in SPA. In SPA, we want to be able to change a URL fragment that won’t result in the server request, but would update a portion of the Web page based on the JavaScript code that is already loaded to the browser.

Many years ago browsers started supporting a hash-sign (#) in the URLs, for example:

Any modifications to the right of the hash tag don’t trigger requests to the server, hence we can map these fragments to the client-side component to be rendered in the designated area of the Web page (in Angular 2 it’s identified by the tags <router-outlet></router-outlet>).

Then browsers started implementing HTML5 APIs, which includes History API that allows programmatically support the Back and Forward buttons as well as modify a URL fragment using the pushState() method. The history of all user’s navigations would be
stored on the client.

Angular 2 supports both location strategies using its classes HashLocationStrategy or PathLocationStrategy sparing you from adding the hash sign to the URL or calling pushState(). You just need to choose which strategy to use. I prefer hash-based navigation because a) it’s supported by all the browsers and b) History API-based navigation is unstable at this point.

Now let’s get familiar with the main players of Angular 2 navigation:

* Router – an object that represents the router during the runtime. You can use its methods navigate() or navigateByUrl() to navigate to a route either by the configured route path or by the URL segment respectively.

* RouterOutlet – a directive that serves as a placeholder within your Web page where the router should render the component

* provideRouter – maps URLs to components to be rendered inside the tag <router-outlet>

* RouterLink – a directive to declare a link to a route if the navigation is done using the HTML anchor tags. The RouterLink may contain parameters to be passed to the route’s component

* ActivatedRoute – an object that represents the route(s) that’s currently active

You configure routes for your app in a separate object of type RouterConfig and pass this object to the bootstrap() function. Router configuration is not done on the component level.

In a typical scenario, you’ll be implementing navigation in your application by performing the following steps:

1. Configure your app routes to map the URL segments to the corresponding components and pass the configuration object to bootstrap() as an argument. If some of the components expect to receive input values, you can use route parameters.

2. Add the property directives: [ROUTE_DIRECTIVES] to the @Component annotation. This will allow you to use the custom tag <router-outlet>, a property routerLink et al.

3. Define the viewport where the router will render components using the <router-outlet> tag.

4. Add the HTML anchor tags with bounded [routerLink] properties (square brackets denote property binding), so when the user clicks on the link the router will render the corresponding component. Think of a routerLink as a client-side replacement for the href attribute of the HTML anchor tag.

NOTE: Invoking the router’s methods navigate() or navigateByUrl() is an alternative to using [routerLink] for navigating to a route.

Here’s an illustration of the above steps:

The function provideRoute() takes the routes configuration that represents two URL segments that may be appended to the base URL:

* The empty string in the path means that there’s no additional URL segment after the base URL (e.g. http://localhost:8080), and the application should display the HomeComponent in the outlet area.

* The product path represents the URL segment product (e.g. http://localhost:8080/product), and the application should display the ProductDetailComponent in the outlet.

Let’s illustrate these steps in a sample application. Say we want to create a RootComponent that has two links Home and Product Details at the top of the page. The application should render either HomeComponent or ProductDetailComponent depending on which link the user clicks. The HomeComponent will render the text “Home Component” on the red background, and the ProductDetailComponent will render “Product Detail Component” on cyan.
Initially the Web page should display the HomeComponent as shown below.

After the user clicks on the Product Details link the router should display the ProductDetailComponent as shown on the next screenshot. Note the hash portion in the URL:

The main goal of this exercise is to get familiar with the router, so our components will be very simple. Below is the code of HomeComponent:

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';

    selector: 'home',
    template: '

Home Component

    styles: ['.home {background: red}'],
export class HomeComponent {}

The code of the ProductDetailComponent will look similar, but instead of red the property styles will define the cyan background:

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';

    selector: 'product',
    template: '

Product Detail Component

    styles: ['.product {background: cyan}']
export class ProductDetailComponent {}

The [RootComponent] will define the routing of this application, and its code is shown next.

import {bootstrap} from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocationStrategy, HashLocationStrategy} from '@angular/common';
import {provideRouter, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, RouterConfig} from '@angular/router'; // 1

import {HomeComponent} from './components/home';
import {ProductDetailComponent} from './components/product';

    selector: 'basic-routing',
    directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES], // 2
    template: `
        Home // 3
        Product Details
        <router-outlet></router-outlet> // 4
class RootComponent {}

bootstrap(RootComponent, [
    provideRouter([ // 5
      {path: '',        component: HomeComponent},
      {path: 'product', component: ProductDetailComponent}
    {provide: LocationStrategy, useClass: HashLocationStrategy} // 6

1. First we import all navigation-related directives and classes from @angular/router and @angular/common.

2. Since this component uses router directives we include ROUTER_DIRECTIVES in the annotation @Component.

3. Binding routerLink to routes (see callnote 5) using their paths / and /product.

4. The tag <router-outlet> specifies the area on the page where the router will render one of our components.

5. We’ve configured routes here. The empty URL segment represents the base URL.

6. During the application bootstrap we specify dependencies of the RootComponent in the square brackets.

In the above example we use HashLocationStrategy, which means if we configure the router with the URL segment product, Angular will add /#/product. The browser will treat the segment after the hash sign as an identifier of a specific segment of the Web page.

Note the use of brackets in the <a< tags. The square brackets around routerLink denote property binding, while brackets on the right represent an array with one element (e.g. [‘/’]). We’ll show you examples of array with two or more elements later in this chapter. The second anchor tag has the property routerLink bound to the route named ProductDetail.

In the above example HomeComponent is mapped to the path containing an empty string, which implicitly makes it a default route.

Here we’ve configured routes in the object and passed it as an argument to the provideRouter() function. The value in the routerLink will be matched with the configured path. In our case the <router-outlet> represents the area below the anchors.

The structure of the object that you can pass to provideRouter() is defined in the interface RouteConfig, which is an array of objects implementing the interface Route shown below (the question marks mean that the respective property is optional):

export interface Route {
    path?: string;
    pathMatch?: 'full' | 'prefix';
    component?: Type | string;
    redirectTo?: string;
    outlet?: string;
    canActivate?: any[];
    canDeactivate?: any[];
    data?: Data;
    resolve?: ResolveData;
    children?: Route[];

NOTE: Make sure that the file package.json includes “@angular/router”: “3.0.0-beta.2” in its dependencies section.

Handling 404 errors

If the user will enter a non-existing URL in your application, the router won’t be able to find the matching route and will print the error message on the browser’s console leaving wondering why not any navigation is happening. Consider creating an application component that will be displayed whenever the application can’t find the matching component.

For example, you can create a component named _404Component and configure it with the wild card path **:

{path: '', component: HomeComponent},
{path: 'product', component: ProductDetailComponent},
{path: '**', component: _404Component}

Now, whenever the router can’t match the URL to any component, it’ll render the content of your  _404Component instead. The wild card route configuration has to be the last element in the array given to provideRouter(). The router always treats the wild card route as a match and any routes listed after the wild card’s one won’t even be considered.

That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more Angular 2 blogs. My other Angular-related blogs are here. Our next public online Angular 2 workshop starts on September 11, 2016.

  1. You forgot to use and in your code sample template.
    And you talk about instead of in point 3.

    Thanks for your posts, hope next ‘ng2 with typescript’ chapters will arrive soon 🙂

    1. Thank you for noticing. I didn’t forget – if you open the source code in plunker – they are there. WordPress removed these tags from the text somehow. Will fix it.

      Manning will post two more chapters in November and then another two in December.

    1. Yakov, maybe you should create a TypeScript User Group (but they did have some TS presentation in Microsoft ones). There is a total absence of these. We do need to have a better version of JavaScript, OO and with more features… I think, even after ES6 it will be true.

  2. >NOTE: In versions prior to Alpha 46 you could manually crete an instance of the route in the @RouteConfig >section, e.g. new Route({path: ‘/’, component: HomeComponent, as: ‘Home’}). This syntax will generate an >error starting from Aplha 46.

    that is my problem now. How can I fix it? I removed the “as: ‘Home'” from the routes but now I get the error: Component “MyDemoApp” has no route named “Home”.

    1. Had similar problem with beta-0 today using -> component: HomeComponent, name: ‘Home’ <-
      In my case I tried to put your newer plunker files inside of an existing Angular 2 environment, which already had a "bootstrap" on my "main.ts" home page.
      I'm trying to embed components that load their own router parameters…
      Any help on this would be most grateful 🙂

  3. Updated the code and the plunk to run in Alpha 52 (routerLink instead of router-link and imports for Component and bootstrap).

  4. Thanks for the post Yakov. Very helpful! One area that is a problem for me is how to handle redirect uris which PingFederate as OAuth 2.0 provider will use to redirect the browser to a route in my app. The problem is that Ping uses fragment components to store the access token, etc. For that reason they don’t allow me to configure a redirect uri for a particular client with a fragment already present. So I am using the default PathLocationStrategy, but I notice the # fragment is removed when my route is rendered. Any ideas?

  5. “Many years ago browsers started supporting a hash-sign (#) in the URLs, …”

    Actually fragments go way back. Originally, the idea was that, after displaying the page, the browser would scan for an <a tag with a name= attribute that matches the frag (without #). I think that still works, but of course things have changed so much. Here's an RFC from 1995 that describes them.

    "hash tag" – I think a hash tag is a Twitter thing. These are called Hashes or Fragments.
