Эдвард Коррингэм (Мик) Мэннок (;  — ) — самый известный и результативный лётчик-ас военно-воздушных сил Великобритании во время Первой мировой войны.

Биография
Точных данных по времени и месту рождения Эдварда Мэннока нет. Согласно наиболее значимым исследованиям, он родился 24 мая 1887 года или 21 мая 1888 года. Относительно места рождения Эдварда существуют три основных варианта: Баллинколлиг в графстве Корк (Ирландия), Олдершот в Хэмпшире и Брайтон в Восточном Суссексе (Англия). Эдвард был третьим ребёнком в семье Эдварда и Юлии Коррингэм, при этом мать Эдварда Мэннока была англичанкой, а отец шотландцем. Эдвард Коррингэм был капралом Британской армии (не исключено, что Королевского полка Шотландских драгун), после отставки в 1891 году взял фамилию Мэннок.

В 1893 году Эдвард-старший снова поступил на службу и был отправлен в Индию, куда и переехал с семьёй из Лондона (на тот момент у Юлии и Эдварда было уже четверо детей). Согласно легенде, в Индии десятилетний Эдвард Мэннок перенёс тяжёлую болезнь приведшую к временной слепоте и ослаблению зрения в дальнейшем (считается, что ас Мэннок был слеп на один глаз). Когда Эдварду Мэнноку было  семья вернулась в Британию. Желая помочь семье (предположительно к этому времени, отец Эдварда много пил и бросил семью), Мэннок устраивается на работу (продавцом, подмастерьем на заводе), в возрасте  вступает в Лейбористскую партию.

В 1912 году Эдвард с братом устраиваются клерками в Национальную телефонную компанию, и в
начале 1914 года Эдвард Мэннок, уже дослужившийся до техника, отправляется по контракту в Константинополь. После начала Первой мировой, когда осенью 1914 года Османская империя объявила войну Великобритании, Эдвард, как и все другие мужчины с британским гражданством, попал в тюрьму. В связи с ухудшением здоровья, Эдвард был признан не пригодным к военной службе и отпущен на свободу в апреле 1915 года.

Становление лётчиком
По возвращении домой, Эдвард Мэннок записался в Королевский армейский медицинский корпус (), но уже 1 апреля 1916 года подал рапорт и был зачислен в инженерные войска (), откуда в августе перевёлся в Королевский лётный корпус. В ноябре 1916 года, после успешного прохождения курса и сдачи экзаменов, Мэннок был направлен на подготовку в  эскадрилью (), а 31 марта 1917 года 29-летний Мик Мэннок прибыл во Францию, в расположение 40-й эскадрильи Королевских ВВС Великобритании () под командованием Альберта Болла.

В составе 40-й эскадрильи Мэннок воевал на истребитель-бипланах Nieuport 17. Первый боевой вылет Мика состоялся 7 апреля, однако первый контакт с противником для Мэннока прошёл неудачно, он испугался и нарушил строй. 7 мая 1917 года Мик Мэннок одержал свою первую победу, сбив разведывательный аэростат. К июлю на счёт Мэннока добавились ещё четыре сбитых самолёта противника, и Эдвард был удостоен Военного креста.

Ас-истребитель
В конце июля Мик Мэннок был назначен командиром одной из групп, что дало ему возможность реализовывать свои идеи для повышения эффективности групповой тактики воздушного боя. 12 августа 1917 года Мэннок сбил свой 6-й самолёт — Albatros D.III, пилотом которого оказался немецкий ас Йоахим фон Бертраб () из эскадрильи Jasta 30, на счёту которого был пять сбитых самолётов. К концу сентября за Миком Мэнноком числились 15 сбитых самолётов противника, и в октябре он получил звание капитана и планку к Военному кресту

К концу 1917 года эскадрилья была переформирована, на смену Ньюпорам (которые составляли слабую конкуренцию немецким истребителям) пришли истребители S.E.5
. Свой последний самолёт в составе 40-й эскадрильи (20-й по счёту) Мэннок сбил 1 января 1918 года, после чего получил новое назначение в Лондоне.

74-я эскадрилья
В феврале 1918 года Эдвард Мэннок был назначен командиром звена А (лидирующего) в только что созданной 74-й эскадрилье () под командованием майора Кейта Колдвелла (). Эскадрилья активно готовилась к переброске во Францию, что и было осуществленно в конце марта. Продолжая летать на S.E.5, в апреле 1918 года Мик сбил 21-й самолёт, а в мае практически удвоил свой персональный счёт, сбив 11 истребителей Pfalz D.III, 8 Albatros D.V и один Fokker Dr.I, и был удостоен ордена «За выдающиеся заслуги», первою планку к которому (то есть второй орден) он получил уже спустя две недели. 6 июня Мик сбил свой первый Fokker D.VII, а к середине месяца счёт Мэннока составил 52 победы.

По воспоминаниям сослуживцев по звену и эскадрилье, Мэннок часто бывал жесток с экипажами сбитых самолётов. Так служивший под его началом лётчик-ас Джеймс Айра Джонс (), написавший первую биографию Мэннока, вспоминал как Мик расстрелял из пулемёта экипаж подбитого Albatros С, мотивируя это тем, что свиней лучше убивать, чем брать в плен (). Так же была отмечена новая фобия Мэннока: после того как на его глазах в самолёте заживо сгорел один из его учеников, Мик начал брать с собой револьвер, чтобы в случае возгорания застрелиться (парашютов тогда у британцев не было).

84-я эскадрилья
18 июня 1918 года Эдвард Мэннок вновь вернулся в Великобританию, где получил назначение на должность командира 85-й эскадрильи ().
Мик вступил в должность 3 июля, и затем снова отбыл во Францию. Что примечательно, Мэннок сменил на этой должности канадского аса Уильяма Бишопа, который так же является самым результативным лётчиком Британской империи (Мэнноку в основном приписывают 61 или  в первом случае Бишоп находится на первом месте, а во втором, с разницей в  на втором).

С назначением у Мэннока отпала необходимость лично водить подчинённых в атаку, однако Мик продолжал совершать боевые вылеты (несмотря на то, что страх сгореть в собственном самолёте только усилился) и к 22 июля достиг 60 побед.

Последний вылет
26 июля 1918 года Мэннок предложил помочь недавно прибывшему лейтенанту Дональду Инглису () одержать его первую победу (Иглис уже летал в составе эскадрильи, но сбить пока никого не сумел). Мэннок обнаружил вражеский самолёт-разведчик LVG C.II (или DFW C.I), который был успешно сбит после совместной атаки.

Возвращаясь обратно, Мэннок и Инглис слишком снизились и во время пересечения линии фронта, были обстреляны германскими солдатами из стрелкового оружия (по другой версии Мэннок, нарушив правила, слишком снизился, чтобы проверить обломки сбитого разведчика, и его самолёт задело взрывом). Во время обстрела был повреждён двигатель S.E.5 Мэннока, и сам он, возможно, тоже был ранен. Самолёт накренился влево и стал падать.

Согласно легенде, тело Мика Мэннока было найдено немцами (в  от места крушения, из чего были сделаны выводы, что Мэннок попытался выпрыгнуть из самолёта, хотя и носил с собой револьвер), и похоронено, однако доказательств этому нет.

Награды
 Кавалер Военного креста (MC, 1917 год) и планки к нему.
 Кавалер ордена «За выдающиеся заслуги» (DSO, 1918 год) и дважды планок к нему. Приказ о последнем награждении был подписан 3 августа 1918 года.
 Кавалер Креста Виктории (VS, 1918 год).

Победы Мэннока
Мэннок считается одним из ведущих британских асов Первой мировой войны. Согласно версии, что Мик одержал  над противником (позиция между канадцем Билли Бишопом c  и Манфредом фон Рихтгофеном по прозвищу «Красный барон», на счету которого  Мэннок называется лучшим из лучших асов () всей Британской империи.

Согласно официальному списку побед, на счету Мэннока 61, сам он утверждал, что 51, а в указе о награждении Крестом Виктории указано — 50. Такая разница в счёте объясняется тем, что некоторые победы были одержаны путём совместной работы нескольких пилотов (так на май 1918 года Мик одержал 20 самостоятельных побед) или противник капитулировал и не был сбит.

Данные о 73-х победах были впервые приведены Айрой Джонсом, который служил с Миком в одной эскадрильи, в биографии Мэннока 1935 года. Считается, что биография Мэннока, как и многих пилотов того времени, была неизвестна общественности, и Джонс мог воспользоваться этим, чтобы пропагандировать репутацию своего погибшего друга. Биография Мэннока, составленная в 1981 году, так же подтверждает 73 одержанных победы. Однако, последующее исследование Кристофера Шора, где были убраны невостребованные совместные победы, указывает, что на счету Мэннока действительно 61 победа.

Признание
После окончания войны боевые товарищи Эдварда Мэннока выступили с инициативой достойной оценки и увековечивания памяти Мэннока, и 18 июля 1919 года Эдвард был посмертно награждён Крестом Виктории. Награда была вручена отцу Эдварда Мэннока на церемонии, проходившей в Букингемском дворце. Помимо Креста Виктории, Эдвард-старший получил и все остальные медали сына, хотя в своём завещании Эдвард Мэннок завещал ничего не передавать отцу. Известно, что отец продал медали сына за 5 фунтов, впоследствии они были восстановлены и выставлены (до сих пор) в Музее королевских военно-воздушных сил в Колиндейле (Лондон).

Так как в Комиссии Содружества по военным захоронениям (CWGC, от ) нет данных об обнаружении тела Мэннока, официальной могилы Мик не имеет. В документальном фильме Би-би-си «Высший пилотаж в Первую мировую» (), вышедшем 21 марта 2009 года, была упомянута версия о месте захоронения, согласно которой вскоре после окончания войны недалеко от места катастрофы были найдены неизвестные останки британского лётчика. Впоследствии они были перезахоронены на военном кладбище CWGC неизвестных лётчиков Великой войны
() в Лавенти (). Возможно, этим лётчиком был Эдвард Мэннок

Имя Эдварда упоминается на мемориале Королевских ВВС пропавших без вести в Аррасе и военном мемориале в Веллингборо. Мемориальная доска Мэннока есть в Кентерберийском соборе. Кроме того, именем Мэннока названа 378-я эскадрилья Учебного корпуса ВВС Великобритании ().

The Scoop on Snoop: Founders of Pro- and Anti- Snoop Dogg Facebook Groups Speak Out
By Nick Andersen
March 30, 2011 | 9:36pm EDT
The ongoing story of Snoop Dogg's pending concert at UNC — won in an online contest promoting Electronic Arts' new game, "Bulletstorm" — continues, with a pair of rather lively Facebook groups arguing the hip-hop icon's merits.
Administrative hurdles aside, these groups open up a question that Canvas wants answered: What do students think about Snoop Dogg, the artist?
Wednesday's interview with EA Campus Representatives Tyler Bronzino and Brendan Kaminsky drew a lot of attention and comments on our website. Bronzino and Kaminsky have said they want Snoop Dogg to play, regardless of negative commentary or University policies.
And junior Allison Grady, who helped create a Facebook group protesting Snoop's pending performance, had this to say:
I'm very involved in a lot of sexual violence prevention work — I'm taking a course on sexual violence. During that course we were talking about the connection between the music and porn industries, and we watched a film. Snoop was in that film, because he's a director of pornos.
We learned a lot about the role he's played in rape culture. He'd also been charged in sexual assault and rape.
(editor's note: charges were dropped)
So as I watched the voting, I was disappointed and when we won, I was very disappointed.
My fear is this: he's assulted people in the past, is this someone we want at UNC?
I had a conversation with friend and we decided, 'We want people to be aware of this and have a conversation.'
The answers have been lengthy and in some cases angry.
I've been pretty shocked. I knew that a lot of people supported him — obviously since UNC won the contest — but I'm hoping that if people really began to think about what he'd done.
If people really thought about the misogynist caricature of Snoop Dogg, they would think twice.
People have gotten brutal, I felt very personally attacked. People telling that I'm racist — it's all kind of weird.
I don't particularly want him to come, but that's not my ultimate goal. I wanted an academic discussion, not all these name callings. I wanted a way for the UNC community to talk about what misogyny in our music means and how it affects us as a society and as a University.
A few friends are working on making that happen. We might have a "Three Cups of Tea" discussion surrounding it. And, assuming that he does come, we're having a sort of alternative concert or gathering, a fundraiser for women's groups.
For me, the main thing is that Big Boi came earlier this year, and when he came, friend of mine described how he treated a female fan on stage.
What he did to her is what I would call sexual assault. The fact that that has already happened at UNC — that's just not something that I want to happen again.
If there were another person who we've had in the past charged with sexual assault or rape — I would protest that as well.
Ebony Hagans, who is taking the same women's studies class as Grady, created a pro-Snoop group to counter the protest. She had this to say:
When Allison she brought up her idea to the class, I was already unsure. I knew there were issues with official rulings, but this is another thing.
When she sent out an email about the Facebook group, I realized, 'I don't like this at all.'
The reason I disagree is that it's unfair to students who voted. I have plenty of friends who voted every day.
I understand what Allison's getting at with rape culture…Snoop has a past. But Snoop Dogg is not the reason we have a rape culture.
It's one thing to raise awareness, another thing to bash or ban someone.
She's trying to make a rape culture awareness, and she's going about it the wrong way.
I am not for rape culture. This is a forum and discussion. We're mature adults, and we should have a choice to go.
To prevent the concert at all is not bringing awareness — it's trying to hide it, trying to hide the situation.
It's just highly unfair to Snoop, to his family and his philanthropy. It's a one-sided argument, a logical fallacy and not showing both sides to attack one person.
Hagans' group has been slightly more civil than the anti-Snoop page, but it hasn't all been polite, she says.
Most people have been helpful. It's a matter of freedom of speech and freedom of expression. I don't like what's going on Allison's page — the angry messages.
I'm not promoting rape — I got a message on Facebook saying that I was pro-rape.
It's changed from a situation of male and female to male versus female, and it's become a racial situation.
I don't really agree. I don't think its a race situation. I have had to take some posts off saying, "It's only cause he's black."
I just don't agree.
I do intend to go to the concert. There should be a forum, but the concert should always be there as a choice.

Those of us who work and discuss brain injury issues on a daily basis-like our Chicago brain injury lawyers-often forget that most community members rarely give any thought to issues like traumatic brain injuries. That is why it remains important for awareness efforts to be undertaken to inform community members of the risks, preventative measures, necessary policy changes, and legal ramifications of certain injuries. A recent article from the Evening Tribune focused on the same issues. The story profiled how one family has coped following their daughter's traumatic brain injury. The family explains that the biggest challenge is raising awareness of the unique consequences of the injury and the way that their daughter faced various challenges which were often hard for others to appreciate.
The girl in this situation was fourteen years old when, in 2006, when she was riding on a school bus. Out of nowhere the school bus was rear-ended by another bus in the parking lot. The girl was taken to an emergency room where she was diagnosed with a concussion. The consequences were severe. The girl suffered from amnesia and the symptoms did not seem to go away quickly. For example, after the accident the girl had her mother drive her to school to pick up homework that she could do at home while she was recuperating. However, once she arrived at the school the girl did not remember where she was or where her locker was.
The injury itself was bad enough, but the family explains that another challenge was getting school officials to appreciate the severity of the injury. The girl's mother explained that the school was not prepared to deal with the consequences of the injury or understand how it would affect the girl's educational needs. For example, the girl had short-term memory loss, was often fatigued, reading and writing were a challenge. Some more esoteric topics were seemingly forgotten altogether-like algebra.
Unfortunately, the family explains that awareness efforts regarding the effects of TBI are greatly needed in the school. They explained that school administrators provided little support during this time. There was little communication between school departments, claim the family, which made it difficult for the high school girl to receive the support she needed to recover while still learning.
The family in this case sought out a brain injury lawyer who ensured that the family's legal rights were protected throughout the aftermath of the injury. Our Illinois brain injury attorneys are similarly available to help all local families who may have loved ones hurt in a variety of ways as a result of the misconduct of others. Visiting an attorney following incidents does not automatically mean that a lawsuit will be filed and a trial will be had. In some cases negotiations can end in a resolution before a suit is filed, and in most cases there is some sort of settlement before a trial. At the end of the day there is nothing to lose from at least receiving the basic counsel of an attorney to see how the law applies.


This course meets the requirements of OSHA's Subpart CC-Cranes in Construction regulations. In one day, covers both Qualified Signal Person requirements and Basic Level 1 Qualified Rigger requirements. Many companies currently require documentation of a Qualified Signal Person and Qualified Rigger before allowing you to work on their sites.
Attendees will review standard ANSI hand and voice signals along with basic hitches, capacity calculations and inspection requirements for rigging equipment. Students are required to pass a written and practical exam as required by OSHA.

Separate and Dominate: Feminism and Racism After the War on Terror
Author: Delphy, Christine
Publisher: Verso Books
Quick overview An examination of how mainstream feminism has been mobilized in support of racist measures. Introduction by Roxane Gay.
When the French government passed a ban on the veil in 2011, surprisingly few French feminists spoke out against the racist measure. Christine Delphy - the sociologist whom Simone de Beauvoir once described as "France's most exciting feminist writer" - was one of the notable few. Castigating humanitarian liberals for demanding cultural assimilation of the women they were purporting to save, Delphy showed how criminalizing Islam in the name of feminism was fundamentally paradoxical. Dominating Others is Delphy's manifesto against this tendency, and for a fluid understanding of political identity that does not place different political struggles in a false opposition. Dismantling the absurd claim that Afghanistan was invaded to save women, alongside the notion that homosexuals and immigrants alike should reserve their self-expression for private settings, Dominating Others is a call for a true universalism that sacrifices no one at the expense of others.

Trabajar con Bases de Datos
===========================

En esta sección, explicaremos cómo crear una nueva página para mostrar datos de países traídos de una tabla de la
base de datos llamada `country`. Para lograr este objetivo, configurarás una conexión a la base de datos,
crearás una clase [Active Record](db-active-record.md), una [acción](structure-controllers.md)
y una [vista](structure-views.md).

A lo largo de este tutorial, aprenderás a

* configurar una conexión a la base de datos;
* definir una clase Active Record;
* realizar consultas a la base de datos utilizando la clase Active Record;
* mostrar datos en una vista con paginación incluida.

Ten en cuenta que para finalizar esta sección, deberás tener al menos conocimientos básicos y experiencia con bases de datos.
En particular, deberás ser capaz de crear una base de datos y saber ejecutar consultas SQL usando alguna herramienta de cliente de base de datos.

Preparar una Base de Datos
--------------------------

Para empezar, crea una base de datos llamada `yii2basic` de la cual tomarás los datos en la aplicación.
Puedes elegir entre una base de datos SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL u Oracle, dado que Yii incluye soporte para varios motores. Por simplicidad, usaremos MySQL en la siguiente descripción.

A continuación, crea una tabla llamada `country` e inserta algunos datos de ejemplo. Puedes utilizar las siguientes declaraciones SQL.

```sql
CREATE TABLE `country` (
  `code` CHAR(2) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  `name` CHAR(52) NOT NULL,
  `population` INT(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

INSERT INTO `country` VALUES ('AU','Australia',24016400);
INSERT INTO `country` VALUES ('BR','Brazil',205722000);
INSERT INTO `country` VALUES ('CA','Canada',35985751);
INSERT INTO `country` VALUES ('CN','China',1375210000);
INSERT INTO `country` VALUES ('DE','Germany',81459000);
INSERT INTO `country` VALUES ('FR','France',64513242);
INSERT INTO `country` VALUES ('GB','United Kingdom',65097000);
INSERT INTO `country` VALUES ('IN','India',1285400000);
INSERT INTO `country` VALUES ('RU','Russia',146519759);
INSERT INTO `country` VALUES ('US','United States',322976000);
```

Al final, tendrás una base de datos llamada `yii2basic`, y dentro de esta, una tabla llamada `country` con diez registros en ella.

Configurar una conexión a la Base de Datos
------------------------------------------

Asegúrate de tener instalado la extensión de PHP [PDO](http://www.php.net/manual/es/book.pdo.php) y el driver
de PDO para el motor que estés utilizando (ej. `pdo_mysql` para MySQL). Este es un requisito básico si tu aplicación
va a utilizar bases de datos relacionales.

Abre el archivo `config/db.php` y ajusta el contenido dependiendo de la configuración a tu base de datos. Por defecto,
el archivo contiene el siguiente contenido:

```php
<?php

return [
    'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
    'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2basic',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '',
    'charset' => 'utf8',
];
```

El archivo `config/db.php` representa la típica [configuración](concept-configurations.md) basada en archivos. Este archivo de configuración en particular
especifica los parámetros necesarios para crear e inicializar una instancia de [[yii\db\Connection]] a través de la cual puedes realizar
consultas SQL contra la base de datos subyacente.

La conexión a la base de datos realizada anteriormente puede ser accedida mediante `Yii::$app->db`.

> Info: El archivo `config/db.php` será incluido en el archivo principal de configuración `config/web.php`,
  el cual especifica cómo la instancia de la [aplicación](structure-applications.md) debe ser inicializada.
  Para más información, consulta la sección [Configuraciones](concept-configurations.md).

Si necesitas trabajar con bases de datos cuyo soporte no está incluído en Yii, revisa las siguientes extensiones:

- [Informix](https://github.com/edgardmessias/yii2-informix)
- [IBM DB2](https://github.com/edgardmessias/yii2-ibm-db2)
- [Firebird](https://github.com/edgardmessias/yii2-firebird)

Crear un Active Record
----------------------

Para representar y extraer datos de la tabla `country`, crea una clase [Active Record](db-active-record.md)
llamada `Country` y guárdala en el archivo `models/Country.php`.

```php
<?php

namespace app\models;

use yii\db\ActiveRecord;

class Country extends ActiveRecord
{
}
```

La clase `Country` extiende de [[yii\db\ActiveRecord]]. No necesitas escribir ningún código dentro de ella! Con tan sólo el código de arriba,
Yii adivinará la tabla correspondiente a la clase desde su nombre.

> Info: Si no se puede realizar un emparejamiento entre el nombre de la clase y la tabla, puedes
sobrescribir el método [[yii\db\ActiveRecord::tableName()]] para especificar explícitamente el nombre de la tabla asiciada.

Utilizando la clase `Country`, puedes manipular los datos de la tabla `country` fácilmente, como se muestra en los siguiente ejemplos:

```php
use app\models\Country;

// obtiene todos los registros de la tabla country ordenándolos por "name"
$countries = Country::find()->orderBy('name')->all();

// obtiene el registro cuya clave primaria es "US"
$country = Country::findOne('US');

// muestra "United States"
echo $country->name;

// cambia el nombre del país a "U.S.A." y lo guarda en la base de datos
$country->name = 'U.S.A.';
$country->save();
```

> Info: Active Record es una potente forma de acceder y manipular datos de una base de datos de una manera orientada a objetos.
Puedes encontrar información más detallada acerca de [Active Record](db-active-record.md). Además de Active Record, puedes utilizar un método de acceso de bajo nivel llamado [Data Access Objects](db-dao.md).

Crear una Acción
----------------

Para mostrar el país a los usuarios, necesitas crear una acción. En vez de hacerlo en el controlador `site`
como lo hiciste en las secciones previas, tiene más sentido crear un nuevo controlador que englobe todas las
acciones de manipulación de datos de la tabla country. Llama a este nuevo controlador `CountryController` y define
una acción `index` en él, como se muestra a continuación:

```php
<?php

namespace app\controllers;

use yii\web\Controller;
use yii\data\Pagination;
use app\models\Country;

class CountryController extends Controller
{
    public function actionIndex()
    {
        $query = Country::find();

        $pagination = new Pagination([
            'defaultPageSize' => 5,
            'totalCount' => $query->count(),
        ]);

        $countries = $query->orderBy('name')
            ->offset($pagination->offset)
            ->limit($pagination->limit)
            ->all();

        return $this->render('index', [
            'countries' => $countries,
            'pagination' => $pagination,
        ]);
    }
}
```

Guarda el código anterior en el archivo `controllers/CountryController.php`.

La acción `index` llama a `Country::find()` para generar una consulta a la base de datos y traer todos los datos de la tabla `country`.
Para limitar la cantidad de registros traídos en cada petición, la consulta es paginada con la ayuda de un objeto
[[yii\data\Pagination]]. El objeto `Pagination` sirve para dos propósitos:

* Define las cláusulas `offset` y `limit` de la consulta SQL para así sólo devolver una sola página de datos
  (5 registros por página como máximo).
* Es utilizado en la vista para mostrar un paginador que consiste en una lista de botones que representan a cada página,
  tal como será explicado en la siguiente sub-sección.

Al final, la acción `index` renderiza una vista llamada `index` y le pasa los datos de países así como la información
de paginación relacionada.

Crear una Vista
---------------

Bajo el directorio `views`, crea primero un sub-directorio llamado `country`. Este será usado para contener
todas las vistas renderizadas por el controlador `country`.
Dentro del directorio `views/country`, crea un archivo llamado `index.php` con el siguiente contenido:

```php
<?php
use yii\helpers\Html;
use yii\widgets\LinkPager;
?>
<h1>Países</h1>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($countries as $country): ?>
    <li>
        <?= Html::encode("{$country->name} ({$country->code})") ?>:
        <?= $country->population ?>
    </li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

<?= LinkPager::widget(['pagination' => $pagination]) ?>
```

La vista consiste en dos partes. En la primera, los datos de países son recorridos y renderizados como una lista HTML.
En la segunda parte, un widget [[yii\widgets\LinkPager]] es renderizado usando la información de paginación pasada desde la acción.
El widget `LinkPager` muestra una lista de botones que representan las páginas disponibles. Haciendo click en cualquiera
de ellas mostrará los datos de países de la página correspondiente.

Probándolo
----------

Para ver cómo funciona, utiliza a la siguiente URL en tu navegador:

```
http://hostname/index.php?r=country%2Findex
```

![Lista de Países](images/start-country-list.png)

Verás una página que muestra cinco países. Y debajo de todos los países, verás un paginador con cuatro botones.
Si haces click en el botón "2", verás que la página muestra otros cinco países de la base de datos.
Observa más cuidadosamente y verás que la URL en el navegador cambia a

```
http://hostname/index.php?r=country%2Findex&page=2
```

Entre bastidores, [[yii\data\Pagination|Pagination]] está realizando su magia.

* Inicialmente, [[yii\data\Pagination|Pagination]] representa la primera página, que agrega a la consulta SQL
  a la base de datos con la cláusula `LIMIT 5 OFFSET 0`. Como resultado, los primeros cinco países serán traídos y mostrados.
* El widget [[yii\widgets\LinkPager|LinkPager]] renderiza los botones de páginas usando las URLs
  creadas por [[yii\data\Pagination::createUrl()|Pagination]]. Las URLs contendrán el parámetro `page`
  representando los números de páginas.
* Si haces click en el botón "2", se lanza y maneja una nueva petición a la ruta `country/index`.
  [[yii\data\Pagination|Pagination]] lee el parámetro `page` y define el número de página actual como "2".
  Por consiguiente, la consulta a la base de datos tendrá la cláusula `LIMIT 5 OFFSET 5` y devolverá los
  siguientes cinco países para mostrar.

Resumen
-------

En esta sección has aprendido cómo trabajar con una base de datos. También has aprendido cómo traer y mostrar
datos paginados con la ayuda de [[yii\data\Pagination]] y [[yii\widgets\LinkPager]].

En la siguiente sección, aprenderás a utilizar la poderosa herramienta de generación de código llamada [Gii](tool-gii.md),
para ayudarte a implementar rápidamente algunas características comunes, como crear operaciones de Alta-Baja-Modificación
(ABM, o CRUD en inglés) de los datos guardados en la base de datos. De hecho, el código que acabas de escribir fue
generado automáticamente a través de esta herramienta.

A world renowned cyber security expert who has presented at the main TED conference in the USA and an adventurer dubbed 'the human swan' are among the first speakers to be announced by TEDxTruro for its event on 26 October at Truro & Penwith College.
TEDxTruro's theme this year is 'Wonder' and other topics will include space, psychaedelics and a wonder material that will revolutionise our lives in the near future.
Cyber crime is becoming ever more sophisticated. Information security expert James Lyne, who has presented at the main TED conference in the USA, will open up the conversation about how best to protect our digital world and what we need to do to inspire young adults to consider a career in this area.
Conservationist and adventurer Sacha Dench flew the 7000km journey from the high arctic to the UK in a paramotor, following the migration of wild swans. Her talk will encourage us to wonder what unique combination of skills, knowledge and passion we each have – and will leave the TEDxTruro audience understanding that they have the key to creating their own extraordinary lives.
Professor Monica Craciun from the Engineering Department of the University of Exeter and Dr Dimitar Dimov a research consultant at Cast will give an insight into graphene – the material that you find at the end of your pencil. It has been hailed as a wonder material of the 21st century. From medical tattoos that can transmit data to your doctor to smart phones embedded in textiles, graphene has the power to revolutionise the way our technology works, making it stronger, better and faster.
Spacecraft engineer and COO of the Satellite Applications Catapult Lucy Edge will share her vision of how emerging space technologies can help us defy distance and time to create more diverse, inclusive and closer communities.
Cornwall-based philosopher Peter Sjöstedt-H will discuss the hidden impact psychedelics have had on philosophy – from Plato to Penzance 'chemical philosopher' Humphry Davy – and asks if such extreme, altered modes of mind could help give us answers to some of the big questions facing the philosophers and scientists of today.
TEDx events are all about making a positive change in our communities so people will have the opportunity to purchase an extra ticket for someone who may not be able to afford to attend otherwise.
TEDxTruro's reputation is growing internationally. The talks from the first two years of TEDxTruro have attracted thousands of views online. Victoria Milligan's 2016 talk about her experience surviving the speedboat accident in Padstow which took the lives of her husband and daughter has been viewed over 40,000 times and Susie Green's talk about being the mother of a transgender child has been viewed over 73,000 times since she delivered it at last year's TEDxTruro.

Four Championship clubs chasing QPR's Ilias Chair
Four Championship clubs chasing QPR's Ilias Chair – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Queens Park Rangers midfielder Ilias Chair is reportedly the subject of interest from four of the Championship's current top six.
QPR have not had the best of seasons so far, sitting just two points above the relegation zone. In spite of this, Chair has impressed, scoring five goals and creating the third most chances in the division.
Chair celebrates after hitting a beauty against Millwall
This form has attracted attention from some of the league's most high-flying clubs, with the Sun on Sunday (via the72.co.uk) reporting that Bournemouth, Brentford, Reading and Watford are all hoping to land the Moroccan this January transfer window.
All four teams make up the Championship's play-off line-up as it stands, and they will all be looking for reinforcements to strengthen their claim for an automatic promotion spot.
Bournemouth are the Championship's second top goalscorers this term, finding the net 37 times in 22 outings. Blackburn Rovers are the only side with more, having bagged on 38 occasions.
Brentford are in third place, just one goal behind the Cherries, which is impressive given that they lost star men Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma last summer. These sales will give the Bees plenty of money to play with in January.
Reading also boast one of the league's strongest attacking record, scoring 34 goals in 23 games. However, they have also conceded the most goals in the top eight, so maybe their money would be best spent elsewhere.
Watford are probably the most likely suitors for the player, having scored the second fewest goals in the top half. The midfielder scored QPR's equaliser against the Hornets in the 1-1 draw between the two sides at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium back in November.
Ilias Chair celebrates an equaliser against Watford
The Rs would be unwise to let their star man go, however. Only Lyndon Dykes has scores as many as Chair this campaign, and four of the Scotland international's strikes came from the penalty spot.
Mark Warburton's men have struggled with replacing the likes of Eberechi Eze, Jordan Hugill and Nahki Wells, who scored 40 goals between themselves in the 2019/20 season.

This is the first (and only) piece of mail from the United States that we've received so far, with the addresses blanked out of course. I sang a joyful song when I opened the normally empty mailbox to find this precious little gift from back home. This is from my dear friend Robbi, who I worked with a lifetime ago when we both made magic at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. She actually lived in Hong Kong at the same time we did, working on the same project. I'll tell Mickey you said Hi, Robbi!
Mail takes a ridiculously long time to get here. A long time as in over a month in some cases. Every single day I get at least one email, Facebook message, or tweet from a dear friend or relative asking if I got the letter / package / bag of tangerine Jelly Bellies that they sent to me weeks ago, and every single day I have to sadly reply, "No. Not yet." But soon I hope!

Scoop: Part of 'Idol' top 24 to be revealed early
By Courtney Hazlett
Published Feb 15, 2010 at 4:22 PM | Updated at 11:48 AM PST on Feb 24, 2010
"American Idol" has added another compelling reason to tune in this season. For the first time in show history, the final 24 contestants will be announced differently.
There are compelling reasons to watch "American Idol" this season — the talent pool is deep, Ellen DeGeneres has changed the chemistry around the judges' table and the production value of the show has even improved substantially.
When Tuesday night's show airs, there will be another reason to watch: Fox is straying from it's previous plan to wait for Wednesday's show to announce the top 24 contestants. Instead, part of the final two dozen will be revealed on Tuesday.
"The remaining contestants will take the stage to perform their final solo number in front of Simon, Ellen, Kara and Randy in hopes of singing their way into the Top 24. Following these performances, the judges will deliberate, and for the first time in 'Idol' history, will announce some of the Top 24 semifinalists," Fox said in a statement.
Jessica Simpson won't go nude
There's nothing that would entice Jessica Simpson to do a nude scene — not even an Oscar.
"I will never do nudity. I don't care how dark and intellectual the role could be, you know," Simpson told Allure magazine. "I don't care if I frickin' could get an Oscar for it, I'm not going to do it. Those accolades mean nothing to me. I don't think people deserve to see what's under my clothing. That's only for my next husband-ha-ha-ha."
Simpson is doing press ahead of the premiere for her VH1 docu-series "The Price of Beauty," in which the actress/singer and her best friends Cacee Cob and Ken Paves trot the globe in search of beauty. Among her revelations: tanning doesn't get you very far in Asian cultures. "In a lot of Asian cultures, the whiter you are, the more beautiful you are — and what I'm so used to is, 'The tanner you are, the thinner you look, the skinnier you feel,'" Simpson said. "It takes five years to become a Geisha. We had five hours. CaCee was accepted. I was denied."
The Allure interview took place prior to John Mayer's now-infamous Playboy interview, so there's no response to Mayer's "sexual napalm" remarks, but she did bring him up in Allure. "He didn't make me go brunette! John doesn't get credit for making me brunette," she said of her brief stint as a non-blonde. "He'd like to think so, but he doesn't deserve the credit."
Leo DiCaprio still single
Leonardo DiCaprio might like Bar Refaeli, but that doesn't mean he put a ring on it. A source close to the actor confirms that a report coming out of Berlin claiming the couple became engaged over Valentine's Day is not true. DiCaprio is in Germany for the Berlin Film Festival, where he's promoting his new film "Shutter Island." Local press claimed that DiCaprio's mother pressured the actor into a proposal and that he asked the supermodel Refaeli to marry him over the holiday.

Egypt moves to new capital December
Egypt's new capital
Published By: Muhamin Olowoporoku
By Agency Report
The Egyptian government will start moving to the country's new capital, east of Cairo, in December, an official in Al-Sissi's presidency said.
The new administrative capital, launched in 2015, is the flagship construction scheme in a string of mega-projects undertaken by Egyptian President, Abdel-Fatah Al-Sissi.
Earlier this year, Al-Sissi, who took office in 2014, said the inauguration of the capital would mark the birth of a new republic in Egypt.
Al-Sissi had instructed the government to start moving its offices to a government district in the new capital as from December, presidential spokesperson Bassam Radi said in an online statement.

AFCON: Iheanacho puts Nigeria's Super Eagles ahead of Egypt
AFCON: Burhan warns Nigeria, Egypt to be weary of Sudan's young team
"This will mark (government) work on a trial basis for six months,'' the official added.
Located 45 kilometres east of Cairo, the new capital spans 170,000 acres.
It also plans to house the parliament, a business hub, an airport, a large public park, and Africa's highest tower among other facilities.
When completed, the yet-unnamed capital will accommodate an estimate of 6.5 million people to ease pressure on age-old, populous Cairo, according to government officials.

No to "minority propaganda" in French schools, far-right's Zemmour says.
01/10/2022 | Reuters
French far-right candidate Eric Zemmour on Monday attacked anti-racist and anti-homophobia groups in schools, saying they were brainwashing pupils, as he urged a return to a more conservative education system. Zemmour is competing with the more established far-right candidate Marine Le Pen and conservative Valerie Pecresse to challenge center-right President Emmanuel Macron in April's presidential election. He currently polls fourth. "Over the past 40 years, our children have been indoctrinated," Zemmour, who has been convicted for inciting racial hatred, told reporters. "Schools cannot be the place where LGBT and anti-racism ideologies brainwash our children."


KASHMIR and IDPs » Blog Archive » Should the Indian Army talk?
There could be others in civil society who would welcome the idea. The sum and substance of their argument is that since political leadership has not been able to make a breakthrough in Kashmir impasse for more than six decades, the army should play a role to break the ice. It is further argued that since real power in Pakistan rests in the hands of Army and it is the arbiter of the destiny of Pakistan, therefore it would not be out of place if our and their armies enter into bilateral talks.
What General Sharma said was "direct contact" and not bilateral talks which somehow is the refrain of excited political observers and commentators. One should differentiate direct contact from talks. Talks generally connote political interaction whereas "direct contact" would imply non-political and purely military or strategic interaction.
Our Army does have contact with Pak Army but at specific levels and for specific purposes. Presumably there is contact between the Directors of Field Operations of the two armies which are activated whenever necessity arises.
If the supporters of Army to Army interaction think of they talking with a sense of responsibility, that raises some doubts. Presuming that the ground is cleared for talks between the armies of the two countries, the Indian Army delegation will talk from a fragile and tenuous standpoint, something which should never happen. Pakistan Army is a state unto itself and a law unto itself. Its diktat cannot be challenged by the civil authority because Pakistan Army's writ must run.
It should never be imagined that Indian Army does not have the potential to talk round a table. Indian Army has performed duty with the UN at crucial places and crucial junctures in the past. Furthermore it has always given a proof of its integrity and honesty in mediating over international disputes though of course within the frame of its mandate.
The point is that Pakistan Army has the power, authority and tradition to take a decision with or without the consent of the government and the civil society. Nobody can challenge it. In that sense it will talk from position of absolute power and authority.
On the other hand, Indian Army, the most disciplined army in the world, has never crossed its legitimate boundary and authority vested in it by the Act of Parliament. It is not the final authority of solving disputes, and when talking with its counterpart, who has the final authority, it will only expose its weakness and ambivalence.
Our Army's stand on Kashmir is that a part of J&K State which has legally acceded to the Indian Union remains illegally occupied by Pakistan. In accordance with the conditions of accession signed by the then ruler of Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army has been requested to throw the invaders out of the borders of the State. This is the task before the Indian Army. The present cease fire is an interim measure allowing Pakistan time to negotiate with the Indian government how it will vacate the illegally occupied part.
It is Pakistan Army in the garb of ISI that has planned, sponsored and abetted armed insurgency in J&K State in 1990. It is Indian Army (and other security forces) that are confronting the armed intruders. It is Pakistan Army that has incepted training camps for terrorist training to Pakistani and Kashmir Muslim jihadis lured to these camps. Religion is exploited as convergence point for jihadi infiltrations and subversion in Kashmir.
The Indian government has more than once told Pakistan to dismantle these terrorist camps. India has asked the world community to emphasize on Pakistan to dismantle these camps if it is really serious in eradicating terrorism. But despite all this Pakistan never dismantled the camps and rather reinforced these. Pakistan turned Nehru offer of no war pact made twice. What else will our Army talk to them?
Thus if Army to Army talk is a proposition, then the first thing which the Indian Army will and should demand of its counterpart is dismantling of these camps. Will Pakistan do that? Had it understood the gravity of situation, it would have dismantled them long back. It did not nor will it do that in near future.
Refusal of Pakistan Army to dismantle the terrorist camps is a foregone conclusion. Therefore Indian Army asking for something which Pakistan has stubbornly refused to do will only bring disrespect to the Indian Army. No country and much less India will be prepared to pocket such kind of insult. Army is meant to succeed whether on the table or on the ground.
It is true that Indian Army may have some questions about appropriateness of some strategic decisions of the Indian government in the context of Kashmir wars. Ordering of cease fire in 1948 when we were poised for final assault on Muzaffarabad which would have given us the control of Kishanganga valley or the easy return of crucial Haji Pir Pass which brave Indian soldiers had wrested from the hands of Pakistan in 1963 war, are some of the instances difficult to forget. But then the whole story speaks eloquently of the discipline of this great Army, the discipline of obeying the constitutional authority and maintaining the supremacy of the constitution. Indian army endeared itself to the Indian nation. The nation is proud of it and would never want the prestige and dignity of the Army compromised at any cost.
Indian Army has great many things to do than to get embroiled in fruitless talks with a reckless entity called Pakistan Army. The very idea of talking to it seems ill conceived. Time will come when Indian Army will be called upon by world to perform a task of immense historical importance to mankind.
We know that there are elements who would want the Army get embroiled in talks with Pakistan Army thereby raise the stock of the latter in the eyes of Pakistani public. The general view of Pakistani public is that Indian Army is mighty not only in terms of military strength but in terms of moral strength as well. Indian Army did not raise jihadis as Pakistani Army did and deployed them as front line fighters of Islamic cause to make them the cannon fodder for Indian guns. This is no small a difference in these two armies.
Lastly it has to be noted that the idea of Army to Army talks was mooted by some American think tanks and conveyed to New Delhi. In all probability, the idea originated from GHQ which wanted to re-establish its credibility with the people of Pakistan. GHQ has close contacts with Pentagon, and Pentagon interlocutors have, over and above the head of White House, often tried to blackmail India on Kashmir issue. By allowing our Army to talk to them, Pakistan Army would only find realization of its cherished desire. Pakistan Army is in great turmoil. Its structure is showing deeper fissures with jihadis making deep inroads in all the three services. Will it survive in present formulation or not is anybody's guess. Therefore the idea of talking to Pakistan Army now or in near future appears a meaningless exercise better to b avoided than pursued.


UPDATE, 7.30pm: FEDERAL Richmond MP Justine Elliot has denied allegations she used Commonwealth funds in her husband's election campaign.
Earlier, Tweed MP Geoff Provest said he would ask for a full investigation into Mrs Elliot and her use of funding to help husband and State Labor candidate for Tweed, Craig Elliot.
But Mrs Elliot told the Tweed Daily News she "won't be bullied and mansplained by Geoff Provest and his shonky National Party mates".
"True to form, Geoff Provest resorts to lies and smears instead of addressing the issues that are important to locals," she said.
"Rather than personally attacking me, he should be acting to fix his hospital debacle at Cudgen.
"I stand with our community in fighting to save our state significant Cudgen farmlands while building a better, faster and on budget hospital at Kings Forest.
"The Kings Forest site is shovel ready with all the necessary approvals, whereas the Cudgen farmland site involves a compulsory acquisition process and zoning changes."
Mrs Elliot said she would "not be silenced" and all of her funding had been used in accordance with the law.
"My printing and communications expenditure is legal and within the proper use as defined by the Act and the rules of Government," she said.
EARLIER: TWEED MP Geoff Provest says he will ask for a full investigation into Federal Richmond MP Justine Elliot for "disregarding state planning processes in order to assist with her husband's state election campaign."
In a statement released today, Mr Provest said Mrs Elliot had shown "blatant disregard for the law" and called for her to be referred to the Commonwealth Ombudsman for investigation.
The comments come after Mrs Elliot released a statement earlier this morning claiming the Tweed Valley Hospital site selection process could have breached the Commonwealth's Environment Protection Biodiversity and Conservation Act.
"Mrs Elliot has today shown complete contempt for proper processes when it comes to developments, which begs the question why?" Mr Provest said.
"Never in my time have I seen someone so adamant to avoid proper planning processes including circumnavigating Health Infrastructure and NSW planning legislation.
"We are fully aware of the reasons for the Labor Party to push the Kings Forest site and frankly, this is why the NSW Labor Government was voted out in the first place.
"The people of the Tweed are crying out for a new hospital and yet they are constantly faced with the blatant lies from the Labor party who will stop at nothing to delay the project."
Mr Provest said Labor had a hidden agenda in delaying the building of the new hospital and "would not rest until they have moved the development to land owned by a major Labor Party donor".
He was also critical of Mrs Elliot's advertising campaign on behalf of the NSW Labor party and her husband.
"Using Commonwealth funds to campaign for her husband would be a serious breach of government policy and many concerns have been raised with my office regarding this, which is why I am asking for the Commonwealth Ombudsman to conduct a full investigation," Mr Provest said.
Mrs Elliot has been contacted for comment.

Sargassohavet eller Den första hustrun (ursprungligen Wide Sargasso Sea) är en roman av den brittiska författaren Jean Rhys, publicerad i oktober 1966. Det blev hennes mest framgångsrika roman.

Boken är en föreföljare till Charlotte Brontës roman Jane Eyre från 1847. Rhys föddes och växte upp i Karibien och hade inblick i de kreolska kvinnornas liv och öden med fokus på samhällsställning, makt och pengar, och Sargassohavet är skriven med utgångspunkt i Antoinette Cosways perspektiv (Bertha Mason i Jane Eyre). Rhys ville "rädda" den galna kreolkvinnan Bertha från hjälplösheten i Brontës bok och ge hennes varande mening och förklaring. Rochester som är den manliga huvudrollen i Jane Eyre har en framträdande roll även i Wide Sargasso Sea, men som en förklaring eller inledning till Bertha Masons öde i Jane Eyre.

Handling
Boken handlar om arvtagerskan Antoinette Cosway, från hennes ungdom i Karibien till hennes olyckliga giftermål med en engelsk gentleman som inte är namngiven i boken. Mannen förklarar henne galen och flyttar med henne till England.

Svenska utgivningar
Boken gavs i Sverige först ut med titeln Den första hustrun i översättning av Ingegärd Martinell 1989 och senare med titeln Sargassohavet 2006.

With so many ways for Bay Area residents to spend a romantic weekend, it's hard to choose! This Thanksgiving, we returned to Half Moon Bay, California. The Bay Area is such a pleasure when the roads are empty! Leaving home a bit after 11 a.m. on Thursday morning, Waze routed us over the Bay Bridge, through San Francisco, and treated us to a relaxing drive down the coast. We pulled up to the entrance to the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay by noon.
Hanging out in the Club... Our room was ready, and after unpacking, we went straight to the Club for lunch. If you've never booked a Club room at a Ritz-Carlton, you're missing a treat. With five meal presentations during the day, the lunch spread included pumpkin soup, sandwiches, salads, cheeses, and desserts ... not to mention Ritz Carlton's addictive chocolate chip cookies. The breakfast buffet now includes an omelet station where the chef will cook your eggs to order ... and Club guests enjoy complimentary cocktails in the late afternoon ... and dessert temptations in the evening.
Golf anyone? The Club's windows look out over the 9th green of the Ocean Course of the Half Moon Bay Golf Links, and I had fun watching golfers playing the hole. But you don't have to just watch... golfers will enjoy the challenge of playing two championship courses — the Old Course and the Ocean Course.
Half Moon Bay is a town with cute shops and good restaurants. We reserved a table for two for Thanksgiving Dinner at Pasta Moon, and our meal was excellent. There were six main course menu options, but I chose the Diestel Farms Turkey — moist and flavorful! I loved my dessert of Warm Molten Chocolate Cake with a scoop of vanilla chocolate gelato. Reservations were definitely necessary, so I'm glad I consulted Open Table.
There's plenty to do to fill a weekend. You can stay at the Ritz-Carlton and luxuriate in the spa — or you can venture forth to hike the redwoods or explore miles of beaches. Here's my blog from my last visit two years ago.
The smart way to stay at RC Half Moon Bay — book through your Virtuoso travel consultant and enjoy a complimentary Full Breakfast for two daily as well as a $100 credit towards a heavenly spa treatment.

The US Air Force has confirmed for the first time that the Long Range Strike-Bomber (LRS-B) will be manned on entry-into-service, one of a few new details revealed about the classified programme.
Several military experts have predicted the LRS-B programme would eventually become optionally-manned but enter service with a flight crew or a pilot, but the USAF has never revealed such details publicly.
Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley said today at a Defense Writers Group breakfast that the service will initially field the new stealth bomber as manned aircraft. "It's likely that we'll start the bomber programme as a manned programme," Donley says. "It'll have the option to be unmanned at some point and so I think that option will be protected."
The USAF is still some distance away from awarding a contract for the new aircraft, but Donley there have been no major changes in design or requirements since the programme was launched. "We're still a year or two away from those, what I would call a downselect decision," Donley says.
The USAF still hopes to build anywhere from 80 to 100 LRS-B aircraft which would become operational in the mid-2020s. "Cost is a major factor for us," Donley says.
Donley says he is not yet sure when the service will disclose more about the Pentagon's acquisitions strategy for the LRS-B, but he did say contract details are under review. "We are developing a contract strategy at the air force and AT&L [acquisitions, technology and logistics], that work is ongoing," he says.
"We're going to protect the capabilities of this airplane," Donley says. "I think several years down the road [we might disclose more details] because we think the capabilities that it will have represent advantages not unlike those that we have enjoyed with the [Northrop Grumman] B-2."
When the B-2 was new in the early 1990s, that aircraft represented a revolutionary leap in capability for strategic bombers. Even now, nearly two decades after the bat-winged aircraft was declared operational, the USAF is still tight lipped about the stealth bomber's exact performance and capabilities.
"We have not talked about B-2 capabilities in great depth, we did not reveal the existence of the B-2 programme until it rolled out of the hangar," Donley says. "We're years from that."


This summer I kicked off a new domain of research with 3 colleagues in Toronto: The Future of Intimacy.
As the virtual becomes a natural augmentation of our physical relationships, how will virtual interactions become less of a substitute for physical proximity and rather a mechanism to extend and augment intimacy (play/engagement/closeness) in 2050?
To show a vision of this future, we created a company: UME; which was founded in 2025.
UME is the leading company in emotion extension technology. At UME, we connect how you feel with your loved ones.
UME offers two products that facilitate deep connection with loved ones. EMP-CONNECT and INLINE.
While we envisioned positive ways to use this technology, including an increase in emotional literacy; we explored the dark side of complete mind-melding.
And other scenarios share more possibilities, like a general overview of this world, an empathic high school and a feminist perspective.
These scenarios show a vision of what the future could be. How could this world become a reality? We created a Backcast to show plausible events happening in the next 37 years that could lead to this reality.
While we can't say for certain that this vision will happen, the technology and trends of today lead us to this vision. The value of this work is in how it makes you think about this topic. Is this a future you want to live in? What things about this future are exciting and pull you toward it? Which items about this future concern you?
Without a vision of the future to step into and experience, we can't explore these questions. The answers to these questions changes the way we interact in the present, and this, in turn, changes the future.

Q: Can a NuGet package built with a newer version of c# be used in a project using an older version of c#? If I build and publish a NuGet package with a Language Version of 9, can I install and reference the NuGet package in a project using a lower Language version (for example c# 7)?
NuGet Package .csproj:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
    <LangVersion>9</LangVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Consuming library .csproj:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
    <LangVersion>7.3</LangVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

A: This is possible.
So after a suggestion from @ADyson I tried to do this myself locally.
It took me about 30 minutes to build a .netstandard2.0 project with a reference to IAsyncEnumerable with the Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces 5.0.0 NuGet package as it doesn't natively get included in .netstardard2.0.
After packing up a NuGet locally, I included it into a Console Application using .netcore2.1 and called a method that used the IAsyncEnumerable.   It worked!
