We reached the thrilling conclusion to the "Doctor Who" ninth season this week, with the series basically reseting back to square one. The season finale was titled "Hell Bent" and if you haven't seen it yet, you should, and a few spoilers are ahead if you are looking out for them.
This final episode of the season concluded with what had been a terrific three-part storyline circling the death of Clara Oswald. A fan-favorite and ever so lovable, it's now the end of the impossible girl's timeline on the show. It's a sad twist of fate but fans knew that Clara had leave her spot as companion after Jenna Coleman confirmed that she would be leaving the show following the conclusion of this season. We'll miss you Clara.
After the fall of Clara in "Face the Raven" we were then taking to the heartbreaking tale of the Doctor's prison in the "Heaven Sent" episode. One of the best episodes of the entire season and one that no one should miss. The final episode, "Hell Bent," brings Clara back for a bit to finish off her storyline, as well as a few others, but it's the foray into new territory that will probably have fans talking this weekend.
There were a ton of "Doctor" rules that were broken this week, some for the betterment of the story, some that came off like shoddy plot-devices.
Let's start with the first major rule that was broken this week, the Doctor shot someone. Let's just let that sit there a bit, because unlike the other rules that were bent this week, this one really bothered me. This was so shoehorned into a scene and so pointless to the overall conclusions, that I'm not sure why it was even written into the story to begin with.
To be clear, the Doctor was trying to save Clara. The Time Lords, working with the Doctor, brought Clara back using an "Extraction" device at the time of her death. They did this so that they could question her and the plan was to have Clara answer a few questions, go back to her timeline and die like fate had planned. Although conscious and interacting with the Doctor and the Time Lords, Clara wasn't alive – she was more like frozen outside of time. After her extraction to Gallifrey, Clara didn't have a heartbeat, she still had the mark of the Raven and she wasn't technically breathing. She was "alive" outside time but had to go back and die because of her fixed-point death.
Instead of letting her go back to her timeline and die, the Doctor instead grabs a gun and shoots the guard. Now the Doctor did make sure that the Time Lord guard would regenerate first, and you could say it was all part of the "desperation" of saving Clara, but it's a major rule in the Doctor's handbook to be so offhandedly written into the story. It just didn't get the dramatic treatment it deserved for such a brazen change in the Doctor's form. Mind you, this scene happened just minutes after a previous one that praised the Doctor for always being the man "unarmed" on the battlefield. The Doctor shooting someone with a gun would normally be a season finale on its own and instead it was written in just to spring Clara from a room. It was an odd choice and I just didn't agree with it but your results may vary.
This brings us to rule two, fixed time-points. Now in the series there are a lot of moments that these "fixed" points in time don't really make any sense. In the Doctor Who universe you might remember that these "fixed" points in time are moments that can not be changed, not even by a Time Lord that does whatever he wants. If they are changed, then time may fracture and nothing can move forward and the universe ceases to exist. At least that's what the Doctor says when "fixed points" are convenient to the story.
It's a great plot device to have in any story about time-travel because it prevents the protagonists (in this case the Doctor) from just going back in time to fix every wrong ever created in the Universe. So I'm going on record as saying that I like the "fixed-points" idea and I'm ok with them being broken for dramatic effect. In this episode the Doctor ignores Clara's fixed-point death, which again was motivated by the Doctor's need to save Clara. This one ended with a bit of a grey area though, since Clara isn't exactly alive at the moment. The problem is that the rule of fixed-points is more muddled than ever now. I would have settled for any half-reasonable sci-fi explanation of this workaround but the episode just glossed over the whole process to save time. Time, ironically, was the real problem with the episode all around.
One of the downsides to this finale was that there were way too many subplots that got thrown into the mix. Going into the final episode the writers had to fit in Clara's death and goodbye, the newly introduced "Hybrid" prophecy, all of Gallifrey returning, the Doctor's need for revenge and Maise Williams' "Me" character being immortal.
Overall the series tends to do worse the more that is going on and this episode seemed to suffer for it. The previous episode just had the Doctor escaping a prison and it was fantastic. Other episodes like the Weeping Angels, or an appearance by Daleks tend to be much more simpler and often times incredibly rememberable. So the show had to get rid of Clara and "Me" in the same episode and it did so with another twist.
The Doctor had his memory wiped of Clara, to protect her from the Time Lords. To stop the possible destruction of time and space it was decided that they could no longer travel together and had to be separated. In a bizarre twist, the writers gave Clara and "Me" their own T.A.R.D.I.S. As we speak they are now traveling across all of time and space on their own adventures, assumably forever since neither can die at the moment. Their T.A.R.D.I.S came with an instruction manual and it was disguised as an American 50's Diner, so they should be just fine.
The Diner was part of the episode's many callbacks to earlier episodes, a treat for any Doctor Who fan really. The diner and location of the Diner was the same used in the popular episode "The Impossible Astronaut"/"Day of the Moon". In "Hell Bent" the Doctor and Clara escape in a T.A.R.D.I.S with its interior designed all in white, just like the original one was. Fans also got a few shots of Cyberman, Weeping Angels, a really depressing Dalek and a few popular Time Lords (but no Timothy Dalton I'm sad to say). There were also a few scenes in the same barn that was used in the "Doctor Who: 50th Anniversary Special". The camera even sat around the same spot that the unstoppable Rose appeared in the episode.
The finale ended with everyone reseting basically but in a rush to the finish line we missed out on the touching moments that tend to linger on well after a finale has aired. Clara is with "Me" somewhere in time and space, the Doctor may or not remember all of Clara and is back in his T.A.R.D.I.S. and we know that River Song will appear in the next episode on Christmas. Speaking of which, didn't anyone thing it's strange that no one thought River could be the Hybrid? I'm not saying she is but she didn't even get a mention. In any case a lot of rules were broken and bent this year and the Doctor will return in a few weeks time to give us one more adventure before our long break.

In the shipbuilding industry, accuracy management is one of the keys for strengthening competitiveness. However, ship block errors are unavoidable in the block erection stage because of the deformation of the blocks. Currently, accuracy managers decide whether or not block corrections are needed, based on measured and designed point data. They adjust the locations of hull blocks so that the blocks are aligned with other assembly blocks based upon the experience of production engineers. This paper proposes an optimization process that can adjust the locations of ship blocks during the erection stage. A genetic algorithm is used for this optimization scheme. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is discussed using several case studies. We found that the proposed method can find the optimized re-alignment of erection blocks, as well as improve the productivity of the erection stage.

Exploring the limits of good taste with Xbox Design Lab
Microsoft boasts 8 million combinations for its custom Xbox controller, but how many actually look decent?
Timothy J. Seppala, @timseppala
A gamepad is the part of a game console people have the most intimate relationship with. You're holding it in your hands for hours on end, and you know it so well you can control its every function without even looking at it. When the action gets intense, your hands start to sweat from twiddling the thumbsticks. For plenty of people, it's the first thing that comes to mind when they want to throw something out of rage over a cheap death. Microsoft wants to make that connection even deeper by handing you the keys to the factory with its aptly named Xbox Design Lab.
Gallery: Xbox Design Lab wireless controllers | 6 Photos
The folks in Redmond are following the well-worn path forged by Moto Maker, Nike's iD shoe-customization web app and countless sites that let you make one-off game controllers. The value proposition is straightforward: For $80 -- a $20 premium over the stock gamepad -- you can create a personalized controller for your Xbox One. Back during E3, Microsoft said 8 million color combinations would be possible. In practice, though, I found that keeping my choices simple was the best way to design a gamepad that won't embarrass me when company comes over.
The design process breaks down into seven steps: picking colors for the controller body, bumpers and triggers, D-pad, thumbsticks, face and menu buttons, and the back panel. The same rainbow of 15 colors is available for the body, back and D-pad. The thumbsticks have eight options, the face buttons have five, while the ancillary view and menu buttons have four.
On paper, that sounds like a lot of room for creativity, but once I got down and dirty designing my joypad, it was anything but. My coffee table is littered with black remotes and gamepads, and I was feeling nostalgic for the controller that shipped with the Xbox 360 at launch, so I opted for a "robot white" body.
From here, the choices become much more difficult because there isn't enough granularity. Both thumbsticks have to be the same color. The view and menu buttons, too, and the face buttons all have to be the same style. The latter bit crushed my dreams of having X, Y and B in black with the A button a contrasting lime green.
In fact, the backside's battery cover isn't customizable on its own either, which is a shame considering how much space whatever color you choose takes up. What's more, the installation at Microsoft's E3 booth had custom Guide buttons on display. Unfortunately, those different-colored, illuminated jewels that take you to the main menu didn't make their way to the final product.
After a few hours of fiddling around, making garish looking mock-ups and trading screenshots back and forth with my coworkers, I wound up with the understated beauty above. The key to making a good-looking controller is restraint. Sure, I could've made something with more colors, but I didn't want my creation to look like someone vomited confetti on a gamepad. Hence, I opted for "photon blue" thumbsticks instead of "regal purple," "oxide red" or "deep pink" and matched them to my back panel.
Next, I paired an "electric green" D-pad with matching shoulder buttons and triggers. That's because, quite frankly, throwing a fourth color into the mix would've been a bad idea if I wanted to follow the rules of design. The shoulder buttons and triggers butt up against the back panel, so I had to pick something complementary there as well. Sorry, "lightning yellow," maybe next time. To keep with my theme of restraint, I went with a white face, menu and view buttons.
For an extra $10, you can have a few words laser-etched into the spot between the D-pad and right thumbstick. Before you get your hopes up, though, be warned that expletives aren't allowed. Basically, anything that would get your Gamertag flagged for vulgarity won't work here. Had I realized that sooner, I could've saved myself 10 minutes.
While I wish there were more options and granularity in the design process, I have to commend Microsoft for the 360-degree 3-D rendering of the gamepad. Every time you choose a different color, it appears instantly on the mockup, replete with realistic lighting, shadows and reflections. It's really cool and helps ease any anxiety one might have over how their choices will look in real life.
Sure, $80 to $90 for a gamepad is steep, but compared with other online custom shops it's actually cheap. Building a one-off pad from Evil Controllers offers greater customization, but there's an upcharge for most colors and finishes every step of the way. A black matte grip for the sides of the controller is $15, while nondefault choices for the face range from $20 to $25. What starts as a $70 gamepad can cost more than $250 by the time you're finished. On top of that, the static 2D design interface for Evil Controllers or The Controller Shop are no match for Microsoft's interactive mockups.
And now, I wait. The order confirmation email says I should have my white, green and blue gamepad by September. Until then, I just need to be patient and use my Elite controller for Inside and repeat runs through Quantum Break. Hopefully I don't throw it.

When you add up the environmental impact of all the wrapping paper, plastic toys, batteries and the energy used for cooking the Christmas lunch/dinner (or both!), the festive season really is an expensive time of year for the earth. But there are ways you can help the planet recover from that over-indulgence. Her are our top five suggestions:
Green power: Rupert Posner, Australian director of The Climate Group, says buying government-accredited green power is the easiest thing a household can do to reduce its carbon footprint. Also, use energy-saving light bulbs and switch appliances off instead of leaving them on standby to offset any additional costs.
Energy-friendly appliances: A new fridge with a high energy-star rating is the best present Santa could deliver to your house. "A fridge uses at least 10 power cent of the average home's power, so an efficient one can save you big money as well as reduce greenhouse impact," says Paul Myors, an energy-efficiency expert with EnergyAustralia.
Solar hot water: Jaga Park-Ross, an energy consultant at Neco, says that householders in New South Wales may be able to claim up to $3200 to switch to solar hot water, which will easily save the average household more than two tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year. Since actual running costs are lower than electric or gas hot water unites, you should recoup the cost of installation within four years.
Natural gas: It isn't available in all areas, but households that can access natural gas could cut emissions dramatically. Myors suggests that gas-powered appliances - particularly newly available gas-powered tumble-dryers - could be an attractive option for apartment dwellers.
Positive thinking: Small changes that lead to great water- and energy-efficiency will reward you with the best Christmas gift of all ... eco brownie points.

Bombers Fans Come Out In Record Numbers, Despite Rainout
Usually when a game is rained out, there are no winners. But on Friday night, there were actually 1,830 winners.
On a night the Brazos Valley Bombers vowed to break the league attendance record, rain couldn't dampen the spirits of Bombers fans. The scheduled game against the Mineral Wells Steam was postponed because of field conditions, but with an attendance figure of 1,830, the Bombers shattered the league mark set by the McKinney Marshals just two weeks ago. The Bombers had first broken the record on Opening Night, June 8.
And the record crowd was certainly entertained. Despite the rainout, the two teams stuck around for a home run derby that brought the fans to their feet. Five Bombers squared off against five members of the Mineral Wells squad in a three-round derby. The finals saw the B's Keith Stein and Doug Simmons face off against the Steam's Brice Cutspec. Cutspec put on an exhibition in the final round, raining six home runs over the right field wall for a final total of ten. Stein, with his hat turned back a la Ken Griffey Jr., made a run at Cutspec with nine home runs, falling one short.
Captivating the crowd before, during, and after the derby was Reggy! the Entertainer, the self-proclaimed biggest, baddest, purplest party dude on the planet. Reggy! led a conga line through the ballpark and performed skits that had fans laughing and dancing all night long. He also had a special present for Cutspec, the home run derby winner. With the crowd watching, Reggy! – dressed as "Reggina" – performed a special dance number to a Barry Manilow tune, then planted a kiss on Cutspec for the finale.
Finally, after the announcement that the crowd was the largest in TCL history brought everyone to their feet, the coup de grace was another Fireworks Friday fireworks spectacular. Even though there was no game, no winner or loser, the Bombers fans still went home happy.
The perfect exclamation point to the evening came after the ballpark had cleared and all that remained was staff. The team was notified that the Coppell Copperheads had lost both ends of a doubleheader in Wichita Falls, dropping them in the standings and moving the Bombers into first place in the Speaker Division. Without even playing a game, Brazos Valley took over the division's top spot, a half-game ahead of the Copperheads.
The Bombers will take to the road over the weekend, spending Saturday in McKinney before a Sunday doubleheader against the Denton Outlaws.
Following an off-day on Monday, the Bombers return to Brazos Valley Bank Ballpark on Tuesday and Wednesday for a battle of first place teams with the Wichita Falls Roughnecks. Both nights are Firemen Appreciations Nights, during which firemen who show their badge or ID receive a discount of one dollar on any ticket.

Superior Spider-Man Team-Up: Superior Six
Chris Yost
Kevin Shinick
Ron Frenz
Will Sliney
Review by Frank Plowright
Flying in the face of expectation when it was announced that Peter Parker as Spider-Man was to be taken over by Doctor Octopus, pretty well everything associated with Superior Spider-Man was at the very least fun. Versus was a rare dud in the franchise, not offering much in the way of fun, or indeed team-ups. Superior Six rectifies that to some degree.
As part of his attempts to cement himself as a superior Spider-Man, Doc Ock has captured his former villainous allies from the Sinister Six, fitted them with a form of mind control device, and intends that they accompany him into action, presenting as reformed. When they're not being controlled they're kept in confinement and able to rage at Spider-Man. The nice element of Chris Yost's plot is that everyone other than the supremely arrogant Doc Ock will be able to predict exactly what's going to go wrong with that plan, and part of the enjoyment is anticipating it happening. Yost complicates the plot by throwing in some more villains, but, to be pedantic, it barely qualifies as a team-up story in the traditional sense. It is fun, with Yost clever at dialogue from characters unknowingly reflecting the truth.
Yost continues that in the following story, pitting hubris against arrogance as Spider-Man meets the only hero more egotistical than he is, the Sub-Mariner, under attack by the forces of Wakanda. It has several brilliantly hilarious moments based on the personalities, not least Sub-Mariner's response to a robot about to self-destruct. The only flaw is the lack of closure. Someone's behind events, and we never find out who.
Marco Checchetto draws most of the book. He's an efficient superhero artist, more detailed than some, but there's never an outstanding way of looking at something that embeds in the mind. Will Sliney is more imaginative, but only draws the single chapter. Ron Frenz illustrates a story set in the past. He's always been a chameleon of an artist, and the style of his pages morph throughout the two chapters, including some interesting layouts.
There's a fine line between arrogance and parody, and Kevin Shinick, writer of the second longer story, doesn't always stay above it. His dialogue also reads as if the characters are explaining themselves to an audience, and the joke references really don't work. This team-up begins with Daredevil and the Punisher, and the sloppy dialogue is a shame because Shinick's plot is strong, involving another old enemy of Spider-Man and one hell of a good surprise to finish the first episode. The idea of the final team-up is surprisingly obvious, but yet before Shinick it hadn't been done, and the way it falls apart is excellent and appropriately tragic. Over this section the dialogue and narrative captions work as intended as well.
Add everything together, and this is a far better book than Versus. Not only does it not let the Superior Spider-Man franchise down, it enhances with entertaining work and some background information that feeds nicely into Superior Spider-Man: Goblin Nation.

So Offonatangent has primarily focused on ice hockey these last few months and because there has been very little to say of late, the blog has remained desert-like, tumbleweed gathering pace as the hockey news has trickled down to pretty much nothing. So much so that The Hockey Forum loyalists have taken to debating things like 'who likes the national anthem being played at the start of each game' which has attracted dozens of inane comments as people attempt desperately to keep with the hockey vibe any old how.
Others (including myself) have resorted to debating Love Island elsewhere on social media and whether Chris is too good for Olivia or if Gabby is 'real'. I for one have been seduced into watching by a bombardment on Twitter by complete strangers of hatred towards Olivia and love towards someone called Camilla who is fast turning into the Lady Di of summer 2017 and Love Island.
So anyhow, thought I'd do a quick piece on what we've been up to this summer whilst I procrastinate over the first chapters of my new novel. Thrilling I know and not nearly as interesting as discussing the relevance of the national anthem prior to an ice hockey match, but wanted to credit a hotel, an inn and a small eatery that probably go mostly un-noticed in the great scheme of things.
So first of all there was Cornwall. Beautiful Newquay. Yes those two words actually go together. Known probably more as a stag and hen venue in the south west, the surrounding coastline is actually completely stunning. So for our seventh visit in two years we again stayed at the glorious and aptly named Headland Hotel. With its claim to fame as the setting for the 1990 film of Roald Dahl's 'The Witches', this majestic hotel was completely unknown to us until two years ago. Set aside from the town and situated beside the famous Fistral beach the views are spectacular. Fistral beach in the off season is an absolute joy, particularly for dog walkers who are welcome all year round and as the tide recedes, leaves an enormous expanse of dog friendly sand along which our collie cross Charlie runs with joyous abandon. We call it "Charlie's Beach' and he adores it.
The Headland Hotel is properly dog friendly too – no bedrooms are out of bounds so you can treat yourself to a stylishly refurbished top of the range room with a view of Fistral beach without worry. Pooches are permitted in the lounge where you can also choose to eat from a varied menu (including fabulous cocktails) and the staff there appear to actually enjoy working there. On top of the incredible views, great walks, fabulous beach and excellent hotel, there is also a first class spa on site – oh and if you prefer a little more privacy the hotel has a selection of beautifully appointed cottages just next door.
During this last visit, on recommendation from son number 2 who has been living the student life in Newquay for two years, we visited The Beached Lamb. Heralded as a vegan café we feared we would be making positive noises about the food whilst secretly wishing we had stayed at the hotel for afternoon tea. Not so! The Beached Lamb is a little gem. Equally dog friendly as the Headland Hotel, this little café, just outside the main town and five minutes walk from Fistral beach is brilliant. Whilst publicized first and foremost as a vegan café, with lots of vegan choice, I can honestly say they serve the best bacon I think I've ever tasted as part of a full English breakfast, which completely surprised. The milkshakes, juices and smoothies are to die for and the breakfast burrito and Jono's breakfast bap are enough to keep you going back day after day for more – which we did. Our four-legged friend was welcomed back each day by staff who seemed genuinely happy to see him (and us) and the service was first rate. So, as promised this is my shout out to The Beached Lamb, Newquay and if you're ever that way or passing through and fancy a bit of lunch or a delicious breakfast then I'm not sure you will find better.
So then finally, once the outline draft for my next novel was almost complete, Cornwall was but a distant memory and the boys were on holiday in Spain, hubby and I decided to venture out to Wiltshire for a day or two with a view to moving that way in the next couple of years. The big plus being that we could strategically place ourselves within easy travelling distance of four, yes FOUR ice rinks for hockey. Now this makes hubby a very happy bunny indeed.
As we were looking to book last minute, we struggled to find anywhere dog friendly and eventually managed to find The George & Dragon in Rowde (just outside Devizes) a gorgeous 16th century inn. Again, mightily dog friendly (the owner having a chocci lab and a grumpy looking but very cute little girl dog) the George & Dragon was a revelation that confirmed my suspicions that in order to find the best place to stay sometimes you just have stumble across it. There is an adorable little terrace out back where we ate a very good, realistically priced meal with a perfectly chilled sauvignon blanc. As darkness fell, the fairy lights came on and the outdoor woodburner was stoked up. Blankets were available for anyone feeling the chill and in the winter they even have a stock of hot water bottles to snuggle with. And once we were pleasantly full and slightly squiffy we bimbled on up to our room which was a lovely characterful beamed room with ensuite and a comfy bed.
Breakfast was perfect and probably the highlight of our stay. Owner Chippy came and had a bit of a chat (lovely guy, really lovely – just one of those people clearly in the right job) and we were treated to a delicious breakfast of fresh from the oven croissants and jam, yogurt and fruit, followed by scrambled eggs and bacon on toast and copious amounts of tea and coffee. Such a treat and the entire experience an unexpectedly lovely one.
So there we go, I've whiled away a few minutes with some niff naff and trivia. We've had a bit of time away from hockey and some lovely dog friendly experiences along the way. Perfect. Now we just need the hockey season to start please.

Q: Is there a way to change the name of a Safari app extension in Xcode? I have created a Safari app extension through an Xcode target that I want to change the name of. Initially, when creating the Xcode target, I simply called it "Safari Extension", thinking that I would be able to change it easily later. I thought changing it would be as easy as changing the "Bundle display name" in the Info.plist file in the target folder, as shown here:

However, I tried this and built the app, but nothing changed. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension and even the entire app, to no avail. If anyone has a way to rename the Safari app extension, please let me know. Thanks so much!

A: You can rename an extension quite easily. In the target, select the extension you need and go to Info. Change the Bundle Display name.

A: You need to edit the "extension_name" key in the extension's messages.json file under Resources/_locales.en/messages.json

A: Try creating a new scheme: click on the top-left 'Messenger Black' in your image and choose 'New scheme...' and put the new name in here. Save the scheme and this should then work okay.

Q: Angular $resource - How can I use promise? How can I use promise with $resource?
This is my service,
     app.service("friendService",function( $resource, $q ) {

        // Return public API.
        return({
            addFriend: addFriend,
            updateFriend: updateFriend,
            getFriends: getFriends,
            removeFriend: removeFriend
        });

        function updateFriend( friend ) {

            var postData = {
                id: friend.id,
                name: friend.name
            };

            var request = $resource("api/update.php", null,{
                update: {
                    method:'PUT',
                    data:postData
                }
            });

            return( request.$promise.then( handleSuccess, handleError ) );
        }

I get this error,

TypeError: request.$promise is undefined

What is the correct way doing it with $resource?

A: Change from
return( request.$promise.then( handleSuccess, handleError ) );

to
return request.update().$promise.then(handleSuccess, handleError);

That said, using $resource like this is quite inefficient while not taking any advantage of it. It's better to replace with $http.

A: You should simplify your service to actually BE the $resource
app.factory('friendService', [ '$resource', function($resource) {
    return $resource('/api/friends/:id', null, {
        'update' : {
            method : 'PUT'
        }
    });
} ]);

This automatically provides the following endpoints (which actually is the cool thing about $resource):
{ 'get':    {method:'GET'},
  'save':   {method:'POST'},
  'query':  {method:'GET', isArray:true},
  'remove': {method:'DELETE'},
  'delete': {method:'DELETE'}
};

Here are some usage examples:
friendService.query(success, error); // GET /friends
friendService.get({ id : "exampleId" }, success, error); // GET /friends/exampleId
friendService.save({/* no params */}, friendObjectWithId, success, error); // POST /friends/idTakenFromObject
friendService.delete({ id : "exampleId" }, {}, success, error); // DELETE /friends/exampleId
friendService.update({/* no params */}, friendObjectWithId, success, error); // PUT /friends/idTakenFromObject

So, as this line of the documentation describes, you dont need the $promise to specify the callbacks:

non-GET "class" actions: Resource.action([parameters], postData, [success], [error])

So you can simply do something like this:
friendService.update({}, friendObject, successHandler, errorHandler)

A: Short answer:
I think you are misunderstanding what $resource is, since you're trying to use it as you would use $http.
$resource is a "wrapper" around $http to provide a Object Oriented CRUD way to interact with a RESTful api. (DOCS explain it well and provide good examples)
From your URL, I don't think you're actually using a REST api so it would probably be better to use $http service instead of using $resource service.
Regardless, here's a working fiddle.

Resource and REST API
A resource, in the context of angular, corresponds to a resource in context of REST and so, it will expect your webservice to behave like a RESTful app. To explain it further, let' take your "Friend" as example... (I will be reworking your URLS to better match a REST API)
API Definition
Take the following REST+CRUD conformant scheme (for a Friend resource)
Resource            URI             Methods allowed
Friend Collection   api/friend      GET, POST
Friend              api/friend/:id  GET, PUT

The basic idea here is that each Resource is univocally represented by a URI (that's actually the definition of URI: -> Uniform Resource Identifier) and the HTTP Method (Verb) is used to define the action that will be performed on said Resource.
Of course, REST is much more than this and I suggest you read this SO POST or this funny article or even Roy Fielding's dissertation (the guy that came up with REST) that explain the concept a lot better than I ever can hope for.

URL Structure
This issue is prone to hot debate, and you can read some interesting points here in this SO Post and an article from Roy Fielding partially addressing this too. To sum up, REST does not require clean URLs. Actually, it doesn't require ANY kind of semantically logic URL structure.
What REST APIs must be is hypertext-driven, that is, given an entry point (URL), the API must be self explanatory so that a client can "discover" resources and relations by itself, with type of resources given by media-types. That means, if an url changes, the API doesn't break!!
So, in practical terms, this can be a valid:
Home                 /
Friend Collection    /foo
Friend Resource 1    /bar
Friend Resource 2    /baz

As well as this can be valid :
Home                index.php
Friend Collection   index.php?q=api/friend
Friend Resource 1   index.php?q=api/friend/1
Friend Resource 2   index.php?q=api/friend/2

Or it's cousin, using mod_reqrite to make "clean URLs", can be valid
Home                /
Friend Collection   /api/friend
Friend Resource 1   /api/friend/1
Friend Resource 2   /api/friend/1

or even this can be valid...
Home                /index.php
Friend Collection   /friend.php
Friend Resource 1   /friend_1.php
Friend Resource 2   /friend_2.php

The server, in no way, is obliged to follow any pattern. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't adhere to a structure, must mostly for SEO purposes (or human readability). And, in the last example, it might be hard to develop a sane webservice that relies on individual scripts for each individual resource. (you might not violate REST principles, but you will probably violate some basic programming rules, such as DRY...)
Also, angular-resource is (kind of) opinionated about url structure. It's not an absolute requirement but...
Regarding your specific question, yes, you would need mod_rewrite to match the example I gave you. But you don't need mod_rewrite to make a REST compliant API.

Using angular-resource module
Now that our API scheme is set and follows the REST+CRUD principles, we can exploit the full potential of the angular-resource module.
We can create a client side representation(interface) of "Friend".
//Custom actions
var actions = {
    update: {
        method: 'PUT'
    }
}

var friendUrl = "/api/friend/:id"; // should be obtained by inspecting the API iteself, usually the parent collection.
var Friend = $resource(friendUrl, {id: '@id'}, actions);

To get a friend we would issue a GET request (and specify it's id);
Friend.get({id: 1}).$promise.then(
    function (response) {
        //console.log(response);
    }
);

DELETE and PUT requests(which we created and called update) are basically the same thing. $resource also supports retrieving collections using the object's method query. You can use that to retrieve the collection of friends.
Please notice that I'm using a hardcoded URL for simplicity

A: request is just setting up your endpoint.  You need to actually call some method on it, e.g. request.get({id: 1}).$promise; or request.query({term: 'test'}).$promise;


Hi. I'm Belgian. I heard of Vietnam e-visa. So can I apply for this kind of visa for my travel to Vietnam?
We are sorry that Vietnam e-visa is not available for Belgian citizens at the moment. It is for citizens of 40 countries only, excluding Belgium.
Vietnam visa at Vietnam embassy.
In case you travel to Vietnam by air, the former one is highly recommended as you may save you a lot of time and give you a lot of convenience. With this option, you only need to apply online for a visa approval letter, get it via email and then pick up full visa at Vietnam airport upon your arrival there. Its application requires you no travel at all. Here is the link to apply: https://booking.vietnam-visa.com/step1.html.
In case you do not travel to Vietnam by air, or you wish to have a visa stamp on your passport before departure for Vietnam, you have only one option to get the visa for Vietnam which is to get it at Vietnam embassy. This way of visa application will require you to submit your original passport and travel to submit your application documents.
Whichever you choose, you will get a valid visa for Vietnam.

LL Cool J Becomes First Rapper to Earn Kennedy Center Honor
Peter A. Berry
Peter A. Berry Published: December 4, 2017

Thirty-two years after making his storied entry into rap's mainstream—or, perhaps more accurately, helping to create rap's mainstream—LL Cool J gets yet another big time accolade. This one comes in the form of the famous Kennedy Center Honor, an award that recognizes artists with a lifetime of contributions to American culture. LL is the first rapper to ever receive this honor.
This year's Kennedy Center Honor recipients include actress/dancer Carmen de Lavallade, singer/songwriter Gloria Estefan, writer/producer Norman Lear, and singer/songwriter Lionel Richie. Safe to say, LL's in good company. He spoke on the occasion in an Instagram post.
"I believe that we are built to do anything we put our minds and proper actions to," he wrote in the caption of a picture of himself at the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. "You have all the tools inside you that are required for you to fulfill your GOD given purpose. This one is for those who came before me and those who followed me. We were sent to this planet to love and inspire one another. Manifest our dreams and make them a reality. I hope you're inspired by me because I'm absolutely Inspired by you. Mic check 1212 Let's ride!! 🎤 #KCHonors #StateDepartmentDinner #hiphop."
Ice Cube made sure to give LL his own special salute through Twitter. "Congrats to the homie LL. Raps first solo superstar and trailblazer," wrote Cube. LL was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in October.

It's hard to imagine how any jury could not come to the conclusion that Roundup herbicide causes cancer. Not long ago, a middle school groundskeeper by the name of Dewayne Johnson was awarded a victory after a jury found Bayer, who recently acquired Monsanto, to be guilty of causing/contributing to his terminal cancer. And that may just be the beginning. There are approximately 10,000 cancer cases pending against Monsanto when it comes to their Roundup herbicide.
Earlier this week, a jury in California determined that a man who sprayed RoundUp on his property for decades is entitled to compensation from Bayer/Monsanto for his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. According to Bloomberg, Bayer immediately lost $8 billion in market share after the verdict.
Bayer AG slumped after a second major defeat in U.S. litigation over claims that its Roundup weed killer causes cancer, shaving almost $8 billion from its market value and raising the likelihood of a costly settlement.
The legal woes Bayer inherited with its acquisition of Monsanto Co. have hammered the company's share price, which has dropped almost 30 percent since the $63 billion transaction was clinched in June, even as the company insists that the active ingredient in the herbicide is safe. The stock fell another 12 percent to 61.1 euros in Frankfurt on Wednesday.
The German company lost the first phase of a jury trial in San Francisco in the case of a man who sprayed the herbicide on his property for decades and said it caused his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It follows a separate California ruling in favor of a former school groundskeeper with cancer.
The latest ruling suggests Bayer is "the underdog in many of the reported 11,200 cases pending across the U.S.," Holly Froum, a legal analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, wrote in a report. "Absent settlement, many cases over Bayer's Roundup weedkiller could go to trial." She estimated the settlement value of all cases at more than $5 billion.
One recent example of fraud and corruption in this area comes from Europe. EU regulators recently decided to relicense glyphosate, and it came based on an assessment that was plagiarized from industry reports. It's quite backwards that for years, health regulators have been relying on the scientific reports from the company that manufactures these products, instead of seeking out independent scientific studies.
At the end of the day, we are the ones who use these products. There have been massive amounts of efforts and fraud that've misled the public regarding the safety of Roundup, and several other products that are currently on the market. We see this type of fraud in food, education, and in other areas, and it's important that we educate ourselves on the true dangers. None of these products would be in existence if we refused to purchase them. For that to happen it requires us to recognize that those powers entities purporting to protect us from such harm are actually not at all concerned with human health. We have to take matters into our own hands.
What a total disaster our world has become – and why? So the self-proclaimed chosen ones can own everything and rule with an iron fist – yet most people still have not yet figured this out! It's quite frightening, Lorenz.
I couldn't understand from the outset what drove Bayer to buy Monsanto. Could anyone with basic insight and basic instincts foretell anything but trouble ahead? I almost think that the key is to be found in the buying sum of 66 Billion.
The giant German chemical business Hoechst was destroyed in the nineties, why should another giant German chemical business not be likewise destroyed?

Buy Modalert Australia – Long-Lasting Alertness and Cognitive Booster
Modalert 200, a generic version of the widely known medication Modafinil, is a eugeroic medication with cognition-enhancing properties. Eugeroics are primarily wakefulness-promoting substances that have a better tolerance than other psychostimulant medications with less addiction potential. The non-euphoric properties of Modalert are said to be behind their increasing use as therapeutic medications both in a traditional and off-label manner
Why is Modalert Used For?
The branded version of Modafinil named Modalert 200 was initially used by medical practitioners for the treatment of excessive sleep disorders like narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, and obstructive apnea. Gradually its cognitive enhancement properties came into notice and it started being used by students and research scholars for a heightened sense of alertness and increased productivity. Modalert was introduced for the sole purpose of increasing alertness and improved cognitive functionality.
Governments started using it among their military members for increasing their productivity while on missions. From astronauts in International Space Station to Wall Street Wolfs and prominent sportsmen, Modalert 200mg became the go-to drug of anyone wanting a phase of productivity.
How does Modalert 200mg work?
The exact mode of action of this nootropic smart drug is not known yet. However, studies and researches have concluded that Modalert Australia works on the brain neurotransmitters. These are chemicals secreted by nerve cells and used by them to communicate with fellow nerve cells. Also, these neurotransmitters are assigned special tasks. Neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, GABA, norepinephrine are said to have an active role in managing the body's circadian rhythm aka the sleep-wake cycle. By preventing their re-uptake process, Modalert online Australia helps in retaining these neurotransmitters in the brain region for a longer period of time. This eventually leads to lasting wakefulness episodes along with enhanced cognitive functions as well.
What makes it a brain booster?
It has been proved by researchers that Modalert exerts its cognitive enhancement properties through catecholamine neurotransmission. Catecholamines are water-soluble, monoamine transmitters that bind to the plasma proteins in the circulatory system to achieve their function. Dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine are some of the common catecholamine neurotransmitters that are released from the cortex and adrenal glands of the brain. These neurotransmitters are involved in motor control and play an important role in the attention, arousal, motivation, and task performance qualities of a person.
Modalert works by binding to the dopamine reuptake pump. That causes inhibition of dopamine reuptake and prevents them from being reabsorbed by the body. This inhibitory effect, in turn, leads to an increase in the production of extracellular dopamine which helps in achieving its heightened cognitive effects. Modalert is also said to work by activating the glutamatergic circuits while inhibiting the GABA pathway.
Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter released by the nerve cells in the brain. It is said to play an important role in the learning and memory of a person. Activating the glutamatergic circuits leads to improved memory in a person with a heightened sense of focus. GABA is a chemical messenger widely distributed in the brain whose main function is to reduce neuronal excitability by inhibiting nerve transmission. Inhibiting the GABA pathway leads to an increase in the GABA transmitters that in turn heightens your senses of tranquility and makes you calm.
What is the standard dosage of Modalert 200 mg Australia?
Generally, the treatment for excessive daytime sleepiness starts with 200mg dosage strength. Though it is a standard dose, your doctor might ask you to take the lowest quantity in the beginning gradually increasing it over a period of time. Modalert 200mg is also an ideal dosage to support the treatment of depression. You need to stick to the prescribed dosage to get the desired outcome. Also, do not take the medicine for more than said period of time to avoid severe side issues or health complications.
How long does it Take to Start Working Online Modalert?
The medicine starts working within 30 to 60 minutes. This may take a little longer depending on the type of food you have eaten and your metabolic rate.
How long does Modalert 200mg stay in your system?
The drug stays in your body for about 12 to 15 hours depending on various elements. Also, it varies from person to person. The effects of Modalert Australia are long-lasting but it can be affected by several factors such as a genetic profile of an individual and kidney and liver functionality.
Can I take Modalert with alcohol?
No. This combination is not recommended at all. This nootropic medicine causes sleepiness as one of its side effects. When you consume the medicine with alcohol, the severity of sleepiness may increase causing various complications. To prevent chaos, you must take the drug with water only.
Can I drive post-consuming the medicine?
As mentioned above, Modalert Australia causes a little drowsiness as a side effect. Therefore, one must not drive a vehicle or operate heavy machinery after consuming the medicine to prevent accidents.
Modalert online stays for 12 to 15 hours thus you need to take it in the morning. If you miss the dosage, you need to ensure that you will take it as soon as you remember. However, do not consume the drug late in the morning or early afternoon as it might interfere with your night's sleep.
What if I overdose?
As mentioned before, the drug stays active in your body for about 15 hours. Therefore, a single dose is enough to give you the desired alertness. Do not take more than the prescribed dosage in a day unless your doctor advised you to do so. Overdosing Modalert Australia pills leads to severe side effects and health issues.
What are the side effects of Modalert?
Like every medicine, nootropic medicines are bound to cause side effects. When you Australia, you must ask your doctor about its side effects profile. Not everyone who takes this nootropic medicine gets side issues. Some people get a few while some do not get side effects at all. It varies from person to person. However, everyone who wishes to buy Modalert online needs to know the side issues this drug produces.
Mild or common side effects:
Severe or less common side effects:
Severe dizziness
On the occurrence of severe side effects, one must stop taking Modalert and seem medical help immediately.
What are the precautionary measures?

Open Cosmos selected to build Spanish smallsat constellation
by Caleb Henry — July 29, 2020
Sateliot's initial goal is a constellation of 16 satellites by the end of 2022. Credit: Sateliot.
WASHINGTON — Spanish startup Sateliot on July 28 selected Open Cosmos to build and operate a constellation of up to 100 small satellites, but stopped short of a firm contract for the full system.
Sateliot is raising funds to build the constellation, designed to connect sensors and devices from low-Earth orbit. The company has raised 2.4 million euros ($2.8 million) since forming in 2018, and hopes to raise a 7-million-euro Series A this year to fund three demonstration satellites, Sateliot chief executive Jaume Sanpera told SpaceNews.
Sateliot estimates it needs $35 million to deploy an initial 16 satellites by the end of 2022, he said, not counting the demonstration satellites. An exact amount for 100 satellites has not been determined, he said.
Open Cosmos of Harwell, United Kingdom, is under contract to build two demonstration satellites for Sateliot, said Rafel Jordá, founder and chief executive of Open Cosmos.
The first satellite is a 3U cubesat scheduled to launch late this year, Jordá said. A form factor for the second demonstration satellite has not been finalized, he said.
Sanpera said that while Sateliot chose Open Cosmos for its first two prototypes and subsequent constellation, it will openly compete its third prototype with other manufacturers.
Open Cosmos builds cubesats and smallsats up to 50 kilograms, but its business model centers on turnkey solutions for customers, Jordá said. For Sateliot, the company is arranging launches, ground station communications and insurance, and will operate the satellites in addition to building them, he said.
Jorda said Open Cosmos anticipates receiving manufacturing orders in phases from Sateliot rather than a bulk order for 100 satellites.
"We are already working with Sateliot towards the next phase of the deployment after the demonstration," he said.
Sateliot is designing its satellites to fill gaps for 5G mobile network operators, providing roaming services for sensors and devices on trucks, precision agriculture equipment, clean energy infrastructure and other sectors, Sanpera said. The company signed an unfunded memorandum of understanding with the European Space Agency in January to collaborate on integrating space and terrestrial 5G solutions.

Texas Man Planned to Blow Up a Data Center in Virginia, FBI Says
Seth Aaron Pendley hoped to destroy an Amazon Web Services data center in Ashburn, according to an indictment.
Written by Andrew Beaujon

The FBI arrested a Texas man on Thursday, alleging he hoped to "kill off about 70% of the internet" by destroying an Amazon Web Services data center in Ashburn.
According to a criminal complaint, a confidential informant told the FBI in January that a person named Seth Aaron Pendley had been posting on the website MyMilitia.com about a "little experiment" he hoped to conduct. Asked to elaborate, Pendley, writing under the screen name "Dionysus," replied, "Death."
Pendley began to correspond with another confidential informant about a plan the FBI says he was putting together to destroy an Amazon Web Services data center. He ordered a topical map of Virginia and painted his silver Pontiac black using Plasti Dip, a rubber coating that dries quickly, with the idea that he could peel off the new color and evade detection by police. The informant told Pendley they could help him obtain explosives. In a meeting with the informant and an undercover FBI employee on March 31, Pendley described 24 buildings in an AWS complex that he believed accounted for "70 percent of the Internet," including CIA and FBI servers. "So we f*** those servers, and it's just gonna piss all the oligarchy off," the complaint says Pendley explained.
It is true that an enormous part of the world's data flows through data centers in the Virginia suburbs of DC.
Pendley had also boasted of being in DC during the January 6 Capitol riot, the complaint says, including bragging about bringing a firearm to DC, though he said he left it in his car, dismayed that others weren't taking a similar stand.
On April 8, Pendley met with the undercover FBI employee, who provided him with what they told Pendley were plastic explosives and detonation cord, according to the complaint. The substances were inert, the Department of Justice says. Pendley was arrested by FBI investigators after he placed the materiel in his car. A search warrant led to investigators discovering maps, an AR "receiver" with the barrel sawed off, flashcards, and notes. They also found a pistol painted to look like a toy gun and a machete with the name "Dionysus" on it, the complaint says.

How would an iconic British luxury sports car brand such as Aston Martin go about celebrating its hundredth birthday? How else but in extravagant style, with the party lasting the entire year, spread across the globe, and absolutely going over the top even at the risk of bordering on bizarre. Taking into account the lifespan of the motor car industry, hundred is a big number!
The party kicked off in spectacular fashion on 15th January 2013, befitting the status of MI5's top agent James Bond's favourite automobile, with the Aston Martin's ultimate grand tourer – the Vanquish – lifted onto the cantilevered helipad at the luxurious Burj Al Arab hotel Dubai, the world's fourth tallest building, by helicopter. Nothing less!
On home turf, more sedate ceremonies were planned – a commemorative plaque was revealed at Henniker Mews in London, which is the original home address of Aston Martin; a Walter Hayes Memorial Lecture by invitation only was held in Park Lane Hilton, London, where in a theatrical performance, Sir John Standing played the role of Lionel Martin, telling the story of his early days and his experience of making the first Aston Martin in Lionel Martin's own words.
More exciting was the event last month, from 17-20 May, the Nürrburgring 24 hour race, which runs on the daunting 25km circuit that combines the legendary Nordschleife with the modern Grand Prix track.
On May 18, 2013, the collectors thronged to the Bonhams Aston Martin auction held at Aston Martin Works Service in Newport Pagnell, Bucks, which saw a new world auction record price for an Aston Martin in its Centenary year, with the unique 1960 DB4GT 'Jet' Coupe selling for £3,249,500 ($4,928,679).
Next few months of June, July and August will see the Le Mans Centenary Parade, an Owner's club Centenary race at Brands Hatch, more centenary drives including a James Bond-themed route, the Scottish Highlands and islands, European Rally, all of which will include stays at exclusive hotels and much wining and dining. In the USA, a Pebble Beach-Napa to Monterey drive will see participants visit some of California's most scenic regions before spending the weekend at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance festival of classic cars. Those wanting to participate could register on the Aston Martin website.
Stepping back in history, the founders Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford paired up to sell cars made by Singer and also service GWK and Calthorpe vehicles. Martin used to race specials at Aston Hill near Aston Clinton. A 100 years ago, on January 15, 2013, the duo decided to make their own cars, and M/s Bamford & Martin was founded. In 1914 Martin raced up Aston Hill in Buckinghamshire successfully in their now iconic car and the company was rechristened Aston Martin. The first Aston Martin, called Coal Scuttle was built in 1915 by Martin, where he fitted a four-cylinder Coventry-Simplex engine to the chassis of a 1908 Isotta-Fraschini. Originally based in Henniker Mews in Chelsea, the brand now has its headquarters in Gaydon in Warwickshire.
Asotn Martin has featured in six films (Goldfinger, Thunderball, GoldenEye, a small appearance in Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale and Skyfall. The Aston Martin's part in 'The World Is Not Enough' was lost at the editing tables.
The past hundred years have seen several investors acquire stakes in the cash-strapped brand. Most recently in December 2012, the beleaguered Aston Martin acquired a new shareholder, an Italian private equity firm Investindustrial, which acquired 37.5% stake from Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd's Kuwaiti owner Investment Dar, £150 million. The much needed fund infusion will be used towards new products and a technology program. Indian tractor and SUV makers Mahindra & Mahindra were also in the fray for the acquisition of stake, but stepped back in the last minute.
Aston Martin currently has 146 dealers in 41 countries, and has a model range consisting of the Cygnet city car, V8 and V12 Vantage, DB9, Rapide and Vanquish. An exclusive Centenary Edition Vanquish was unveiled.
The specifically created specifications of this edition include an all-carbon fibre body, bespoke exterior styling, high-tech luxurious treatment on the inside with deep soft black leather etc, and an overall showcase of exquisite craftsmanship.

Software reuse and software quality are increasingly important topics in today's software engineering both for researchers and for practitioners. The design and implementation of tests is especially challenging when tests are conceptualized for different variants and versions of an application.
Stefan Baerisch applies a combination of feature modelling and code generation, for which he uses a model-driven approach, in order to facilitate the design of tests by non-programmers. Thus, the reuse of tests, represented by abstract test models, for different systems under tests is made possible. The approach uses code generation to allow test execution on heterogeneous and changing implementations. This combination of modelling and code generation allows for a more integrated and more efficient testing process.

Q: format the timestamp output for TABLE_DATE_RANGE() BigQuery I have a requirement to query different tables a once to save my time. Tables names like

abc_yyyymmdd

can be easily query using the
table_date_range(abc_,timestamp('2016-01-01'),timestamp('2016-03-12'))

but I have different format table name

abc_mm_dd_yyyy

is there a way to query in these tables using table_date_range.

A: If you can use Standard SQL, you can use the _TABLE_SUFFIX pseudo column to work with any table name format.
Is there an equivalent of table wildcard functions in BigQuery with standard SQL?
In this case, it would be something like:
SELECT ... FROM `mydataset.abc_2016_*` WHERE _TABLE_SUFFIX = '01-01' or _TABLE_SUFFIX = '03-12'

A: In Legacy SQL you can use TABLE_QUERY for this
So it can be something like below
SELECT *
FROM (
  TABLE_QUERY(YourDataset, 'LEFT(table_id, 4) = "abc_" AND LENGTH(table_id) = 14
  AND CONCAT(SUBSTR(table_id,11,4),'-',SUBSTR(table_id,5,2), -",SUBSTR(table_id,8,2))
    BETWEEN "2016-01-01" AND "2016-03-12"')
)

I have a directed graph whose strongly connected components I want to denote with a polygon contour.
I known which vertices make up each SCC. What I don't know is how to define a polygon whose edge coordinates will be such that it will enclose the final (post-compilation) formation of vertices.
P.S. I find it weird to ask this question as an issue, but it was suggested here: http://www.graphviz.org/contact/, so here it is.
