Canada-based automation manufacturer MassTech is heading to NAB with a new approach that it hopes will reduce the investment needed for a station to automate.
"Stations are told they need to put in $125,000 systems that need to be upgraded or modified later," says Director of Marketing Joe French. "We're saying, build the infrastructure now at a low cost and then open it up in your own IP world with proper controls and security."
The MassTech approach is based on the company's NDCP Module, a dongle device inserted via 9-pin connector into the equipment (VTR, server, router, character generator, etc.) to be automated. With the device in the control port, the equipment can be controlled by MassTech software, which runs on a PC.
The core product offered by MassTech is MassControl, a software/hardware system that allows for the control of as many as 20 on-air channels.
"MassControl is designed to maintain status and events in the modules, and each module can hold up to 1,000 events," says French. "It is also the interface to the other applications."
MassTech also has two additional applications. MassStore works with video servers from Pinnacle Systems, SeaChange and Grass Valley Group to help manage nearline and archived assets. MassProtect provides a video-server loop delay to protect against on-air disturbance and failures. Those two systems can operate with or without MassControl.
The NDCP modules are compliant with Harris's Network Device Control Protocol (NDCP) and supports distribution control of RS422/RS232 serial broadcast devices. Connections between devices use standard IT infrastructure. French says that cost of a single-channel system ranges between $5,000 and $40,000 depending on configuration.


I am trying to run the hello-world application on an STM32F407VG target.
I have the packs installed and can verify using JLinkExe on the CLI that my Mac is seeing the J-Link okay.
However SES only gives me the "Connect to Simulator" under the target menu.
Yes, the target connection is a project setting.
In the Project Properties at Debugger -> Debugger Options change Target Connection from Simulator to J-Link.
Now you can select Connect to J-Link instead of Connect to Simulator.


The art of gardening as noted by every expert on the field is an essential part of the human's capability of restoring the major lost beauty of the earth's environment. It is through this particular process that the art of flower garden landscaping has been given birth to.
Of course, planting a flower garden is not as easy as come and go. It could be observed that this process both involves careful planning with regards the amount of the project depending on the kind of flower ornaments to be placed in the said areas of concentration. Considerably though, the art of flower garden landscaping has long been understood to be a thing of the pros'. Only professional landscapers are able to handle such tasks as noted through historical record.
However, with the financial turmoil happening around the world today, not all could afford hiring a professional landscaper to make a great creation in their backyards or small-dedicated areas for them to be able to grow flowers. This is the reason why computer programmers opted to create an aide top many flower garden enthusiasts today. Flower garden landscaping programs are now released in the market for purchase.
Some of the said Flower garden landscaping design aides is even made available through online subscription. Who knows, if your flower garden landscaping design catches the attention of the expert designers in the field, you might even be able to gain an award or at least a prize for doing a great job.
With the aide of bright color schemes that are best used to describe the different flowers and collective presentations that you would like to post in your personally created flower garden landscaping design, you could actually print the plan you made along with the estimated calculated cost of the said procedure and see the actual result of the plan before hand. Flower garden landscaping programs are indeed ready to provide careful assistance to the neophyte in the field of creating flower garden landscaping designs of their own.
Consequently, through the said technological aide programs, handling flower garden landscaping tasks becomes a much easier task to perform for anyone. Truly, taking advantage of these technological offers would make a great impact on how you yourself could get the best out of the space you allotted for a flower garden landscaping that you would like to have around your home or your workplace.


The pre-conference tour will be complete with expert guides, and mini workshops at the pro-bar on writing, photography, affiliate marketing, monetizing your web and so much more. Participants will get to choose from four different itineraries — taking them either to the North, South, East or Central Region of the island — before they arrive. Any additional expenses are to be met by the participants. Conference agenda and all relevant details to the award ceremony will be updated in due course.

A new research facility at Stony Brook University aims to develop innovative technologies in the fight to improve the quality of water on Long Island and help rid nitrogen in wastewater in an effort to protect drinking water.

On July 9, the New York State Center for Clean Water Technology at SBU officially opened the new research site named the Wastewater Research & Innovation Facility. The WRIF will have nitrogen-removing technologies to clean wastewater. The new facility is situated close to a county wastewater pumping station.
"We all know how important water is to Long Island, we know our only source of drinking water is below our feet," said Chris Gobler, director, NYS Center for Clean Water Technology. "This facility is designed to bring the next generation of nitrogen reducing and removing biofilters [also called NRBs] that will be smaller and more effective and more widespread."
The WRIF's main area is a trailer full of nitrogen-removing biofilters made up of two levels: a layer of sand on top and a layer of wood chips on the bottom. Wastewater flows down, and each layer take out the nitrogen as it goes through.
"Our focus is to take what we have installed in the field, these NRBs and make them smaller and want to make it more affordable," said Frank Russo, associate director for wastewater initiatives, NYS Center for Clean Water Technology. "The only way we can do that on a scale like this is to do experiments first in a set environment and test all the theories we find in our research."
There are 22 SBU students and researchers on staff at the new facility. A secondary trailer on the property allows them to conduct experiments and research at a test tube level.
The endgame of those experiments is to eventually install these filters in homes and businesses, so it can help reduce nitrogen pollution.
Russo said it will take a five-year process before they go full scale. He stated that it is a county requirement that before anything is to be installed, you have to show the county that it is a proven technology, and it will last a long time.
The associate director hopes these filters along with a home septic system will one day take the place of a cesspool.
The opening of the new facility, comes a year after the center installed three prototype filters in homes throughout Long Island. The center has also been busy with other projects, including constructing a wetland in Cold Spring Harbor that is designed to treat wastewater and nitrogen levels.
Gobler stressed the need for reducing nitrogen pollution, stating that nearly 75 percent of Suffolk homes are not connected to a sewage system. The problem arises when the nitrogen-contaminated wastewater is stored into cesspools or outdated septic systems.
"The center is going to help address and solve the nitrogen problem on Long Island, but perhaps across the country and maybe even around the world," said Carrie Meek-Gallagher, regional director of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.
In 2017, the county began urging residents to make the switch to new, updated septic systems under the Suffolk County Septic Improvement Program with the help of grants.
As of July 1, Suffolk County residents who voluntarily decide to replace their cesspools will need to replace them with a system consisting of a septic tank and leaching pool at a minimum, according to a June 20 TBR News Media article. Contractors will need to register the system with the Department of Health Services. While residents can choose a conventional septic system, another option is an advanced device that removes more nitrogen. County grants of up to $20,000 are available for residents who qualify. There is also an additional state grant of up to $10,000, which can mean a total of up to $30,000.

If you've ever been around me, then you're likely aware of my views on the subject of heroism.
In short, I'm a cynic.
As a society, it seems like we love to throw around the word "hero" to describe anyone we've come to admire. Sometimes, they are public servants who in the course of their daily routine risk their health and welfare. Sometimes, our heroes are sports figures. Sometimes, we use the word "hero" to describe our favorite celebrities, or a beloved family member, or simply someone who does something that we simply can't imagine.
I, on the other hand, am not one who easily uses the word "hero."
For me, you can be a remarkably brave public servant who bravely goes into challenging situations day after day. But, that doesn't necessarily make you a hero.
An athlete as a hero? I don't think so.
A seriously ill person courageously facing their illness? Admirable, but not necessarily heroic.
A hero is someone who, in almost all cases, has absolutely no clue that they're a hero. A hero is someone who sacrifices their health, their welfare, their well-being, their hopes, and their dreams to improve the lives of others either through protection or risk-taking or advocacy or a willingness to endure so that others may not. True heroes are rare.
We first met Hiccup, again voiced by Jay Baruchel, five years ago as we all embarked on an unexpectedly glorious journey through the land of Berk, a land where Vikings and dragons learned to co-exist thanks to the heroic sacrifices and actions of Hiccup. If you didn't see the original How to Train Your Dragon, I encourage you to do so. It was the film that truly put DreamWorks on the map for animated features, and it was a truly enjoyable, awe-inspiring, and life-affirming film. I still remember entering the movie theater expecting to be wildly under-impressed and leaving the theater completely in awe of the wonderful animation, enchanting story, and a diverse community that celebrated its men, women, dragons, and individuals with disabilities.
In case you're not aware, Hiccup became an amputee after an encounter with a dragon and, rather than play his character for stereotypes, How to Train Your Dragon infused him with wonder and intelligence and sensitivity and, yes, even heroism. It was, quite simply, one of the most refreshingly wonderful portrayals of disability I'd ever seen on the big screen and certain within the framework of an animated feature.
By the end of How to Train Your Dragon, Hiccup had created a more unified village and had taught the residents of Berk that they could co-exist with the dragons. He impressed his father, Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), the village's chief, and had befriended a rare Night Fury he affectionately names Toothless.
While a sequel to the surprise hit How to Train Your Dragon is certainly not unexpected, and there's already a third film in the pipeline, what is a surprise is that the film doesn't necessarily feel like a money grab but rather like an honest extension of the original story. While How to Train Your Dragon 2 starts off feeling just a bit less fresh because, after all, we are far more familiar with the story and its themes, it's easy to get quickly settled in and to start once again enjoying another journey with these characters. Hiccup is now 20, a young man yet still figuring out his place in life, and facing the fact that his father wants him to be in line to become the next chief, a responsibility for which Hiccup is hesitant. His former competitor Astrid (America Ferrera) is now his girlfriend, confidante, and greatest encourager, but even with her gentle nudging he isn't quite sure. For now, he's content to spend his day exploring new lands and discovering new territories while his other friends, such as Snotlout (Jonah Hill), Fishlegs (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), Ruffnut (Kristen Wiig), and Tuffnut (T.J. Miller), play the sort of game involving dragons and sheep and, well, you'll just have to see it for yourself.
Parents of young children should probably be aware that How to Train Your Dragon 2 does make a couple of darker than expected choices considering this is a PG-rated film clearly directed at children and families. However, if your child has handled the darkness that can occasionally crop up in a Pixar film then this film shouldn't be much of a problem. You might just be aware that you may find yourself having a conversation about it on the way home.
In this film, the peaceful nation that Berk has become is disrupted when an exploring Hiccup and Toothless stumble upon a dragon trader named Eret (Kit Harington). Eret actually works for one seriously bad dude, Drago (Djimon Hounsou), whose reputation is so dark that even Hiccup's normally bravado father quickly closes the doors of Berk rather than force a confrontation.
Hiccup, on the other hand, goes off in search of Drago hoping to convince him of the error of his ways. Along his journey, he discovers a surprising connection with Valka (Cate Blanchett), one of two extraordinarily strong female roles in the film, and writer/director Dean DeBlois infuses the film with some of the most gloriously beautiful animated sequences in an animated feature in quite some time and, maybe even more surprisingly, some choreographed sequences that actually justify the use of 3-D animation.
While there's an awareness that there is to be a How to Train Your Dragon 3, it's a strong testimony to DeBlois that this second film in the series doesn't feel like a transition film or a "filler" film but an actual story that stands on its own. The story lags a little bit early on, but the film's final third is filled with adventure, wit, strong character development, surprising choices, and what is easily the best animated experience in theaters so far this year.
How to Train Your Dragon 3? Yes, please.

Mosquito found theatrical distribution with Hemsdale only to have its big-screen dreams snatched away at the last minute when the company went bankrupt. It ended up building its following when it became a home video staple. Synapse picked it up for a hi-def update and the results do the film a justice that earlier versions never could, giving it a slick new presentation along with an array of impressive extras that will knock out all the film's monster-kid fans.
Things start off with a fresh HD transfer that does well by a challenging remastering project. Mosquito was most shot in 16mm and blown up to 35mm with the exception of a number of FX shots that were natively shot in 35mm. Thus, the finished film has some shifts in texture and focus – Synapse even includes a paper insert explaining the nature of the film's shoot – but this presentation handles all the challenges with style, bringing new levels of color and clarity that would have never been expected by those who got used to this film on VHS.
In terms of audio, the original 2.0 stereo mix and a new 7.1 remix are both included n lossless form. The latter was used for this review and it's an impressive listen. There's a lot of surround activity, which works nicely in all the forest-based exteriors, and the film's electronic score has a real sonic depth in this presentation.
This 20th Anniversary Edition also adds plentiful extras. First up is a commentary track featuring director/co-writer Gary Jones, producer David Thiry and cinematographer/co-writer Dan Cheney. It's a good scene-by-scene commentary that discusses everything from what it was like working with the cast to explanations of how the various effects were shot and staged. Jones leads the charge but everyone has interesting details to offer and the track has a nice sense of cameraderie.
However, the big knockout here in terms of extras is Bugged Out, a 76-minute documentary helmed by Michael Felsher. It features Jones, Thiry and Cheney as well as every surviving featured cast member. You learn about how Jones came up as part of Sam Raimi's group of filmmakers, how all the key actors were cast, some hairy tales of shooting stunt sequences, the film's tale of distribution woe and nice tributes to the sadly departed Ron Asheton and Steve Dixon. The proceedings never get dull thanks to taut pacing and an array of fun anecdotes – and the finished product warmly reflects fondness of everyone involved for Mosquito.
Next up is a set of deleted and extended scenes, with optional commentary from Jones. It's about seven minutes' worth of stuff that fleshes out character intros and adds a little extra comedy. There are also forty minutes' worth of behind-the-scenes video footage, again with optional commentary from Jones. You get to see the FX shop, the film's soundstages, a bit of the table read and plenty of on-set footage depicting FX highlights being shot. Along the way, you get some interesting info on the homemade camera rigs used for the Raimi-style moving shots and Jones offers fond thoughts on his cast as well as plenty of technical details on the special effects.
A few promo materials close the bonus features. The first is an animated image gallery that runs four and a half minutes and offers a mixture of color stills and behind the scenes shots. The final inclusion is a theatrical trailer under the alternate title of Night Swarm. It shows off the film's array of special effects to nice effect and surprisingly mentions each lead cast member by name.
All in all, this is great special edition for a deep-catalog cult favorite. All the Mosquito fans will want and it's worth the buy for any adventurous cult film fan into retro-styled monster fare.

Arts & Cultural Options
Hibbing Area Public Art
The following is a list of public art in the Hibbing area. While some works of art have been commissioned by government entities, other works are privately owned but can still be viewed by the public.
Hibbing Courthouse Annex
1814 East 14th Avenue, Hibbing, 218-262-0100
'Eclipse' - Nationally recognized artist, and Hibbing native, David L. Aho, created the abstract 20' tall metal sculpture installed on the south side of the St. Louis County Hibbing Courthouse Annex, located at 1814 East 14th Avenue, in Hibbing, Minnesota. The sculpture, named 'Eclipse', was commissioned by St. Louis County as an iconic piece of public art designed to be a welcoming landmark for travelers as they drive to St. Louis County offices in the Hibbing Annex and the County Courthouse, or on Howard Street into downtown Hibbing.
Hibbing High School
800 East 21st Street, Hibbing, 218-208-0841
Entrance Murals - As you walk into the Hibbing High School's main entrance, you are greeted by two sets of three mural panels. One set to your left and right. David Ericson, a Duluth painter, painted the six murals in 1924. The murals on the west wall trace the history of Minnesota. The first mural is of Minnesota's fur trading roots as a territory. The second is of its recognition as a state. The third is Minnesota's first major industry, logging. On the east wall, the mural set traces United States' history. The first mural shows Columbus discovering America. The second is the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The third depicts westward expansion. The Smithsonian recognizes these murals as national treasures. They are also registered with our nation's archives.
The Auditorium- The Hibbing High School Auditorium was modeled after The Capitol Theater in New York City. Between the main floor and the balcony, it seats up to 1,805. A twenty-foot by forty-foot proscenium arch, whose borders are marked by massive pillars, frames the stage. Artist Carl Hardolf A. Parson painted four female figures, representing music, art, drama, and literature. The muses of the arts preside over the auditorium from high upon its walls. Greek urns with flowering acanthus leaves and swags, all surrounding multi-colored Sheraton medallions decorate an "Adam" style ceiling. The ceiling makes a perfect backdrop for the four giant solid glass chandeliers. The chandeliers were installed in 1924 to the tune of $4,000 a piece. Each main chandelier stretches seven feet across and weighs nearly six hundred pounds.
Library Art- The Hibbing High School Library is home to many pieces of extraordinary works of art. The main room of the library houses many statues of famous authors and presidents, including Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. It also has murals with literary themes and bas-relief panels of children joyously celebrating. It is also home to the mural listed below.
Mining Mural- As you transition from the main section of the library to the darker back room, you are met by the equally dark sixty-foot mural entitled "The Iron Industry" that makes a statement on the west wall. This piece initially hung in the old Lincoln High School. David Tice Workman, a painter from Howard Lake Minnesota, painted it in 1913. Workman cleverly divided the mural into three sections by two verticals—A pole and a chain—the painting follows the process of converting raw iron ore into steel. Sixteen life size figures, each representative of a differing nationality that settled the area, "work" in the print at varying tasks associated with mining. Step one in the mining process was obtaining the raw product, comes alive to the left, two types of ore extraction are shown in the painting. Underground mining is represented in the back of this section by the head frame, which housed winches to raise and lower workers and ore in and out of the mine tunnels. Strip mining is represented by the original steam shovel stripping away the worthless bits of earth to reveal the ore. In the second panel, a huge Malley steam engine hauling filled ore cars represents the start of the transportation portion of the process. The trains' usual destination was the Duluth-Superior harbor, from which the ore would be brought by ship to the steel mills of Detroit or Pittsburgh. The third panel portrays those mills. In the mural you can see large cranes first unloaded the ore from ships, dumping it into huge piles where it would later be mixed with limestone and coke as part of the basic "recipe" for converting the raw ore into iron. Adjacent to the mural is a quote by Tennyson "Mines undrainable of ore." This mural is registered with the Superintendent of Documents and the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.

In Search for AirAsia, a Multinational Battle Against Nature and the Java Sea
BY :BANTARTO BANDORO
Reports of the ill-fated Indonesia AirAsia Flight QZ8501 on Dec. 28 and the subsequent search for victims, the aircraft's black boxes and answers to what caused it to crash into the Java Sea continue to dominate the headlines of national and international media.
An updated account by the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) revealed that the aircraft's tail was successfully brought to the surface by flotation devices on Saturday.
And a little over a day later, the black boxes were finally found, triggering a nationwide sigh of relief.
The Java Sea has become the primary "eye witness" to the tireless efforts of the nation's search and recovery personnel, as well as those from the military and other related agencies.
State of the art search and recovery equipment have played a pivotal role in pinpointing the crash site and recovering victims' bodies.
Basarnas quickly sprang into action when Flight QZ8501 was first declared missing at 6:55 that fateful Sunday.
But inclement weather and given the wide and uncooperative nature of the Java Sea, it soon became clear that the search and rescue agency would need substantial aid in finding the plane.
Indonesia welcomed multiple offers for assistance and the operation became an international effort, earning the government praise for its quick and transparent actions in handling the tragedy.
More than five countries contributed their skills and resources to the search and recovery operation.
They are : Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, South Korea, the United States, China, Japan, Russia, Britain and France.
And more than two weeks into the grueling search, we continue to witness the "offensive" approach taken by participating search and recovery teams in scouring the turbulent waters of the Java Sea.
Not only that: At least 30 ships, 15 aircraft and seven helicopters have taken part in the massive undertaking.
Perhaps most interesting to observe is not just the involvement of foreign countries — with their unmatched and sophisticated search and recovery equipment that have been instrumental in the search operation — but also the active participation of four global powers who play a major role in shaping the world: the United States, China, Russia and Japan.
Literature on international relations and strategic studies have described these as a group of countries whose military, economic and political influence have shaped the past, present and will continue to impact future global issues.
Reminiscent of past battles
It may not be coincidence that the AirAsia search operation has also seen the presence of countries who were once involved in the Battle of Java Sea, namely Japan, Britain and Australia.
A defining battle in the Pacific campaign of World War II, the struggle saw the naval forces of Britain, the United States, Australia and the Netherlands square off against those of Japan.
The latter, an aggressive military power at the time bent on seizing control of Asia, had successfully outwitted and confused allied forces at every turn with a series of devastating victories. The Battle of Java was no different.
Fought on Feb. 27, 1942, the massive naval struggle — which killed nearly 2,400 soldiers — resulted in a Japanese victory that allowed the Empire of the Sun to take control of Java.
Search and recovery personnel from these countries are now in the same location where their predecessors fought head-to-head to maintain naval superiority.
Though what is currently happening in the Java Sea is not a repetition of the past conflict, it can be seen as a "battle" between the multinational search and recovery
officers and the heavy tide of the Java Sea in the ongoing search for the AirAsia aircraft.
The rescue operation for Flight QZ8501 saw the constant "strategic" maneuvers of military equipment operated by participating countries.
They did not join the search mission with a hidden agenda of gaining regional influence, nor were they coerced into contributing their skills.
These countries have banded together because they believed their collaborative effort in interdependently utilizing the search and recovery equipment each had to offer would result in more efficiency than if these high-tech machines are used independently.
The high degree of difficulty search and recovery personnel face in the undertaking has pushed their skills — and their military hardware — to their limits.
To aid Basarnas in the search, the Singapore Air Force deployed C-130 Hercules aircraft, a Formidable-class frigate; a Victory-class corvette; a tank landing ship; and a vessel for submarine support and rescue.
Meanwhile, the Malaysian government set up a rescue coordination center in the West Java city of Subang and deployed three navy vessels and three aircraft, including a C-130 Hercules.
The United States Navy also joined the search and recovery effort, sending the warships USS Sampson and USS Fort Worth. Australia deployed a P-3 Orion aircraft.
India put three navy ships and one P-8 Poseidon maritime surveillance aircraft on standby for assistance, with one ship located in the Bay of Bengal and the other in the Andaman Sea.
Russia dispatched over 70 rescuers, Beriev Be-200 amphibious planes and the Folkon remote-controlled deepwater vehicle to help in the mission.
What we currently see in the Java Sea is not merely a naked demonstration by foreign countries of their respective search and recovery equipment's capabilities — particularly those from the military.
Nor is it a competition to show off the extensive experience of their rescuers. What we ascertain, to some extent, is the sense that these countries will continue to play strategic and important roles in the region.
The international effort also revealed that these major powers have the ability to set aside whatever differences or hostilities they may harbor for each other and work together, despite the sense of urgency of the situation.
During the joint operation, these nations did not see each other as a potential threat.
This extraordinary coming together of global forces not always at ease with each other could perhaps serve as a reminder for peace in the future. The past two weeks also helped to build a deeper sense of moral responsibility on the part of the participating countries as their respective search and recovery teams give their all in the search for QZ8501.
The Battle of Java Sea remains in the history books and will be remembered for many years to come.
But hopefully, that horrific day that saw nations in a bloody struggle for domination, will be superseded by the memory of the collaborative undertaking carried out by the same forces.
The search for AirAsia Flight QZ8501 serves as a reminder to the international community that together, nations can accomplish more than they ever could apart and in conflict with one another.

                console.log("we put the json in the scope variable");
            }
            )
        }
        getProposition();
        $scope.proposition = {marge_propose : 3};
    }])

app.factory('propositionRepository', function ($http) {
    return {
        getProposition: function (callback) {
            $http.get('/api/propositionapi/3');
            console.log("we call the api");
        }
    }
})

With the following view
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Edit";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}

{{ proposition.marge_propose}}

It does not work, but when I uncomment the $scope.proposition = { marge_propose: 3 }; everything works just fine.
That's why I assume that it is my getProposition that encounters some problems.
I don't know what it is because firebug actually tells me that the data are well received from the api with the following result
{"$id":"1","t_concours":{"$id":"2","t_proposition":[{"$ref":"1"}],"id":1,"intitule":"test","valeur":10.0},"t_demandeur":{"$id":"3","t_proposition":[{"$ref":"1"}],"id":"1","nom":"dylan","prenom":"bob","note":"A"},"t_index":{"$id":"4","t_proposition":[{"$ref":"1"}],"id":1,"intitule":"test","valeur":10.0},"t_proposition_concurence":null,"id":3,"id_demandeur":"1","date_proposition":"1991-07-05T00:00:00","type":true,"point_de_vente":"01","code":"a","code_sas":"846684","montant_operation_hors_frais":200,"concours_sollicite":10,"duree_concours":10,"type_concours":1,"id_index":1,"apport_personnel":10,"garantie_reelle":true,"in_fine":false,"majoration":1.0,"prospect":true,"primo_accedant":true,"motif_montant":false,"motif_contrepartie":false,"motif_depot_cmne":false,"id_prop_concurence":null,"motif_autre":true,"motif_commentaire":"true","proposition_derogatoire":true,"visa_responsable":"false","marge_grille":5.0,"marge_theorique":7.0,"marge_propose":32.0}

Can someone explain me please where the problem is?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
The console log displays "we call the api" but not "we put the json in the scope variable"

A: You could try to set the extra data as real JSON, eg:
$scope.proposition = { "marge_propose": "3" };

maybe try to console.log in your propositionRepository to view the result you're getting, place a console.log in the getProposition() as well to check if everything is passing trough fine
EDIT:
here's a working fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/c1zxp6uo/
bottomline: you don't call the callback, so when you do
$http.get('/api/propositionapi/3').then(function(){callback()})
it should work

A: 'use strict';

var app = angular.module('app', []);

app.controller('propositionCtrl',['$scope', 'propositionRepository',
    function ($scope, propositionRepository) {
       // $scope.proposition = { marge_propose: 3 };
        function getProposition() {
            propositionRepository.getProposition(function (result) {
                console.log("we put the json in the scope variable");
                $scope.proposition = result;

            }
            )
        }
        getProposition();

        $scope.proposition = {marge_propose : 3};
    }])

app.factory('propositionRepository', function ($http) {
    return {
        getProposition: function (callback) {
            $http.get('/api/propositionapi/3').success(callback);
            console.log("we call the api");
        }
    }
})

This code works...
The thing is that I didn't know that $http.get returns a promise, so I forgot to add the .success(callback) in the line
$http.get('/api/propositionapi/3').success(callback);

Now everthing works.
Thanks for the hint MohammedAbbas

Q: How to pass access token in cookie? Here is my WebAPI configuration:
services.AddAuthentication("Bearer")
    .AddIdentityServerAuthentication("Bearer", options =>
    {
        options.Authority = "https://localhost:44305/";
        options.ApiName = "ApiOne";
        options.ApiSecret = "secret1";
    });

Here is how it's used from JavaScript (with oidc-client):
var config = {
    userStore: new Oidc.WebStorageStateStore({ store: window.localStorage }),
    authority: "https://localhost:44305/",
    client_id: "client_id_js",
    redirect_uri: "https://localhost:44345/Home/SignIn",
    post_logout_redirect_uri: "https://localhost:44345/Home/Index",
    response_type: "id_token token",
    scope: "openid rc.scope ApiOne ApiTwo"
};

var userManager = new Oidc.UserManager(config);

userManager.getUser().then(user => {
    console.log("user:", user);
    if (user) {
        axios.defaults.headers.common["Authorization"] = "Bearer " + user.access_token;
    }
});

How can I modify this to pass access token in cookies if it's possible at all?

Spooky Alabama: Tuscaloosa's Drish House
Mary K, Townsquare Media
Cue up Michael Jackson's "Thriller", its October. In the magic of the fall holiday season, I like to call October spooky month. You can fill the month with scary movies, fall treats, celebrate Halloween, and enjoy spooky adventures.
Let me be upfront; I'm the scary type. Bottom line, I'm not too fond of scary movies. I still have nightmares over the film Cujo. I am not the person you take to the haunted houses, either. I scream from start to finish. BUT, I love haunted places that have a spooky history.
Alabama has many spooky spots, even right here in West Alabama. Visit Tuscaloosa lets us know that the "Tuscaloosa's Drish House on 17th street is considered one of the most haunted locations in the state of Alabama." I visited the Drish House back in February for our event Bama Bourbon and Beyond. It is a beautiful spot with great southern charm. But, I never knew it was haunted.
I found out that the Drish House has a long history that has exchanged many owners over the years, dating back to 1884. "By 2015, news broke that the Drish House was coming back to life. By 2016, the new owner had restored the estate and opened it up to the public as a historical and cultural place of interest," The Link reported.
Now on to the part that makes the Drish House a spooky Alabama spot. I was talking to some Alabamians at a local diner, and they quickly told me that "you can see the 'ghost light' in the tower windows of the Drish House." Wait … what? You know I have had the mission to see that 'ghost light.'
Here is the backstory on the 'Ghost light' from Visit Tuscaloosa, "Rumors say Dr. Drish loved gambling and drinking, which contributed to his death in 1867 after falling from atop a stairwell. His wife, Sarah McKinney, became obsessed with her husband's funeral, so much so that it became an extravagant event. She supposedly kept candles from the funeral hoping to eventually use them during her own. Her family searched for these candles following her death in 1884 but were able to find anything of the like. This is said to have angered Sarah so much that she has come back to haunt the house, even allegedly causing a fire in the third-story tower by lighting the candles."
Such a fascinating haunted past. If you have seen the 'ghost light' please send me a message on Instagram @MaryKRadio. I need to know all the details, even though I'm the scary type.
