Stone Bay is a satellite facility of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Based on the south side of Camp Lejeune, it is home to Weapons Training Battalion, which functions as the primary facility for weapons qualifications on Camp Lejeune, having several shooting ranges: three rifle ranges, two pistol ranges, and one long sniper range and the headquarters of United States Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, with the MARSOC compound on Stone Bay opening in 2010. The parent command responsible for the ranges is Weapons Training Battalion (WTBN).  WTBN is broken down into two companies, Range Company and Headquarters Company. Headquarters Company contains the Marksmanship Training Unit, which is responsible for training Marines to become Combat Marksmanship Coaches and Combat Marksmanship Trainers in support of range operations.

Three of the ranges (Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie respectively) are standard USMC ranges up to 500 yards for rifle qualification. An excess of 25,000 Marines from Camp Lejeune conduct their annual rifle qualifications at Stone Bay. Two pistol ranges are standard USMC known distances. One range is the known and unknown distance sniper course. 1,000 meters is the longest known distance shot on this range.

Stone Bay's rifle ranges have also been utilized for the purpose of testing new annual rifle training qualifications for the Marine Corps at several points in its history, most recently during the transition from the Annual Rifle Training (ART) course of fire to the Annual Rifle Qualification (ARQ). The new ARQ course of fire has an intent of replicating combat conditions where participating Marines "Close distance" with a human-sized target starting at the 500 yard line, advancing to the 300, 200, 100, and 25 yard lines over the course of fire conducting numerous shooting drills. In August and September of 2020, a total of 205 Marines from the ranks of Private to Captain completed two trial runs of the ARQ course of fire at Stone Bay utilizing the M16 rifle, M4 carbine, and M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle. The Marine Corps has since adopted ARQ as its standard annual qualifying course of fire for service rifles.

Rolls-Royce Wraith Test-Drive: An Aristocratic Way Of Riding
Rolls-Royce has experienced many ups and downs during its many years of existence. However, in recent years, when the company merged with BMW Group, it has returned to its old ways and started to flourish again.
The expansion of Rolls-Royce has been boosted by the introduction of new models - particularly Phantom sedan, convertible and coupe, Ghost sedan, Wraith coupe and Dawn convertible. Today we will talk about one of the - Rolls-Royce Wraith, released in 2013.
A different Rolls-Royce
There are two reasons for purchasing this type of car. The first is the need to show off wealth and the size of a bank account to those around. And the second is the desire to have a car that is hard to pick on. The car that makes you feel like you're driving not a vehicle, but a unique piece of engineering.
The Wraith is for people who already have at least one Rolls-Royce or Bentley sedan in their garage. Maybe also a Ferrari, Aston Martin or Lamborghini model for fun weekend rides. And, if there is still money left for a model that has no counterpart in the vast market, that's when Rolls-Royce Wraith comes into focus.

Hidden BMW genes
The car is built on an abridged Ghost platform and has an 18.3 cm shorter wheelbase. Even so, the Wraith still remains a massive car with a 3.11-metre wheelbase, which is longer than of S-Class Mercedes-Benz.
The manufacturer wants you to believe that this is a full-size four-seater. But do you know how many models in the world are officially considered 2 + 2 type cars, but when you try to sit in the rear seats, you begin to feel claustrophobic? 12.
With the Rolls-Royce Wraith measuring 5.26 meters long and nearly 2 meters wide, the luxury coupe can actually be considered a full-featured four-seater. With the giant front seats retracted, not only are they comfortable to sit on, but they are also very enjoyable. Rolls-Royce engineers have made the rear passengers feel as special as their colleagues in front-seats. But for now, let's briefly step away from the interior of the car and look at the Rolls-Royce Wraith's aristocratic exterior.
When walking around a car, you want to look at each body detail not once, not twice, but several times just to examine every millimetre of the car. The Wraith coupe comes with a 6.6-litre, 12-cylinder petrol engine with 632 NP and 799 Nm.
Theoretically, the Wraith model should be the most sporty and dynamic member of the Rolls-Royce family that does not compromise the true values of this manufacturer.
The King's throne
Although the car's doors look massive, they are not heavy. For both getting in and out, the gate to the luxury Rolls-Royce can be moved without putting much effort. Of course, there is another way to go. Once in the car, just press a button and wait for the Wraith door to close itself.
When sitting on dual-colour leather seats, it's time to understand the driver's experience, which is also different from traditional cars. The first sensations dictate it's a sporty coupe, but one look to the left, the other to the right made me realize that I am not sitting that low. Even in its lowest position, the seat is still high enough for your eyes to consistently see the lengthy hood and Rolls-Royce business card, which is the Spirit Of Ecstasy figurine.
The most impressive part of the Wraith interior is not the pleasant touch of the leather, the woodwork or the impeccable quality of the assembly. What is fascinating is the British ability to combine the styles and technologies of two different eras into one. Wraith has all the modern technology: climate control, a navigation system, automatic cruise control and many more accessories. And still, Rolls-Royce stylists have been able to design each device's control button and even navigation screen as if it came right from the previous millennia.
Even with the ability to keep up with the latest technology, Rolls-Royce has left a few marks of the past in its cars. For example, instead of a traditional tachometer, you will only see an arrow with an engine power reserve on the instrument panel, as well ash the gear lever mounted next to the steering wheel.
The locomotive
The vehicle is able to accelerate to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds. This is a very impressive result knowing that the machine weighs as much as 2435 kg. However, I very much doubt that at least one Rolls-Royce buyer cares about this indicator because the petrol-driven beast is doing its job well not just when speeding up to 100 km/h.
No matter how fast you go, no matter when you decide to press on the accelerator pedal, the 6.6-litre engine stays in place and maintains steady power output. No drama, no frightening speedometer arrow rising faster than you would blink.
If the Porsche or Ferrari then had such an engine that could reach 60 km/h, not only you or those around you would hear it, but also all the cats roaming a few kilometres away. Meanwhile, Rolls-Royce engineers paid a lot of attention to sound insulation. As such, noise from the engine and other sounds inside the vehicle is minimal. Yes, you can hear the 12-cylinder engine murmuring, but it does not play the role of a notorious performer in this car, but a locomotive's that drags huge formations.
The embodiment of sportiness
When analyzing the Rolls-Royce Wraith recipe, many may get the impression that it does not bow down to Porsche 911 Turbo or Ferrari FF in terms of dynamics. And no, its dynamism certainly won't match the cars mentioned above, but Rolls-Royce is in a completely different league.
Personally, Rolls-Royce Wraith reminds me of a huge yacht that needs to be managed delicately and without making sudden movements. Yes, it can make turns with ease, but in doing so, your conscience might begin to crumble as you realize that it is simply not the car's calling.
When sitting in Rolls-Royce, you can easily distance yourself from the rest of the world, turn on the album of your favourite band and just relax while the comfortable seats and one-finger steering makes you feel like you are in control of the whole world. It is a very unusual yet delightful feeling.
On both the highway and the winding sections of the country road, you feel as if you are not driving, but flying on a very soft pillow. Every road's roughness is absorbed flawlessly. It is an ideal example of a GT-type car, which allows the driver to enjoy it not only for short distances but also for very long distances. Although it is not the most sporty car in the world, the front-mounted 12-cylinder engine could leave a number of hotheads in the dust.
You must have realized that this is not really a car that tries to please as many people as possible. It is an aristocrat playing in his personal sandbox who doesn't care about the opinions of others.
I can safely say that there is no other vehicle in the world that is so exciting, strange and unique at the same time. All the most unusual features are in one place. However, it has to be accepted that this is a very unusual car.

What Is (and Is Not) Left-Wing? By Kieran Kelly
30 May 2014 — Dissident Voice
Recently I wrote an article objecting to labeling a false Left as Left — in effect erecting a strawman to criticize the Left. In his essay, Kieran Kelly elaborates on what is Left and how it differs from ideologies toward the Right. — DV coeditor
The term "left-wing" is seldom defined and is often grossly misapplied. Some point at Stalinist repression and say that that is an example of how bad the left can be, but such authoritarianism contravenes the defining left-wing principle of anti-authoritarianism. Others have tried to characterise Nazism and Fascism as being half-left and half-right simply because they appropriated left-wing rhetoric for a very right-wing project. Liberalism likewise uses left-wing rhetoric to channel the energies of left-wing ethical or moral leanings into a very right-wing project. The confusion is so great that the US practice of identifying "liberal" with the left is spreading to other countries. In this process the very idea of being left-wing is excluded from public political discourse in such a way that a person's left-wing convictions are used to attach them to a right-wing ideology. "Left-wing", however, has an eminently recuperable set of definitional attributes. It began life as an expression of a set of stances, of which each had a binary opposite in a "right-wing", and it can still be reduced to a similar set. The result is a group of attributes where an individual, a group, or an ideology may be either on the right or on the left, but each individual, group, or ideology may have both right and left wing aspects, and many other aspects do not reduce to this choice. In practice, of course, two imperatives derived from left-wing stances may contravene each other, or be seen as contravening each other, but that should not be seen as of relevance to the left-wing nature of their foundations.
The term left-wing comes from those who during the French Revolution believed in a society based on the revolutionary ideals that had animated the masses. Over time there has been a consensus among left-wing movements on many issues (I exclude here state regimes which adopt left-wing rhetoric, but which, more often than not, are actually right-wing in their nature). My purpose here is to produce a comprehensive and inclusive list. The list below gives an idea of a maximal left-wing philosophy, like a platonic ideal. I am not advocating that people should abandon any beliefs or stances we hold that are actually right-wing. I myself am rather right-wing on the question of individualism, but that doesn't mean that I am not a profoundly left-wing person. This is a purist sort of vision, not something to try to live up to or even hold as an abstract aspirational ideal.
"Liberty, equality and fraternity" was the original basis of left-wing sentiment. "Fraternity" doesn't quite work in this day and age and so I suggest that a good core set of left-wing principles to proceed from would be: liberty, equality, community and solidarity.
Anti-authoritarian
Obviously a belief in liberty implies an opposition to authoritarianism. Promoting democracy and decentralisation are both, properly speaking, left-wing stances. There are ideas of "positive" liberty, associated with Communist regimes and so forth, and "negative" liberty, associated with liberalism. Positive liberty is associated with the idea of civic engagement as a form of liberty even if it involves the curtailment of individual freedoms. The objection I would raise to this idea is that it doesn't actually coincide with anyone's normal usage, nor a dictionary definition of, "liberty". "Positive liberty" is a concept most closely associated with hostile sources who ascribe it simultaneously to Marx, Engels, the Soviet Bloc, the People's Republic of China, Machiavelli, Fascism, Nazism and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Leaving aside positive liberty, it has been pointed out that liberal "negative" liberty has for many throughout history consisted of the freedom to starve to death in a gutter. It is actually worse than that, liberal ideas of "free markets" or "laissez faire" are themselves authoritarian. Liberal ideologues (with the surprising assent of non-liberals of both left and right) portray liberalism as inherently and fundamentally at odds with authoritarianism. Yet liberal regimes can be very brutally authoritarian – particularly, but not exclusively, in imperial and neocolonial coercive practices. They practice extrajudicial executions, paramilitary policing, administrative detentions and physical and mental torture techniques. As a form of authoritarian institution, for example, the brutal US prison system has no contemporary parallels. The perceived contradiction between liberalism and authoritarianism is illusory. A foundation of liberalism, a core definitional belief, is that the coercive power of the state should be used to protect private property regardless of the democratic will of society, or fundamental issues of natural justice, or anything else anyone can think of.
Liberalism arose at a time during an ongoing British transformation of oligarchic power. Feudal rights (which came with responsibilities) were transformed into property rights – most notoriously with the "enclosures" of common lands, a process described as "a revolution of the rich against the poor." Britain's feudal powers actually consolidated their control through the end (or alleged end) of feudalism and about 50% of the peerage were actually Whigs (aka liberals). By limiting the sovereign rights of the crown and making private property sacrosanct and by creating an ideology of market fundamentalism, the same powerful elites (with no meaningful change) created a new hierarchical authoritarian structure where their material wealth maintained a strict dominance over rural and urban proletarian masses who, now deprived any independent economic resources were arguably less free than the bonded serfs of the feudal system.
This explains why many on the left, including even anarchists, often advocate an increase in government power. Governments, however imperfectly, can be made subject to democratic pressures, while powerful private interests, who can 'own' just about anything now including naturally occurring genes, are tyrannies by definition. Which brings us to….
Redistributive
The left-wing has always seen a fundamental injustice in the vast material disparities existing in society. Reponses have varied from the advocacy of the abolition of all private property to various more modest calls for the moderation of the free-market. One might consider that Proudhon, the anarchist famous for saying that "all property is theft" also said "property is freedom." In the first instance he is referencing not only the inequities of distribution and the concentration of ownership, but the dubious origins of the titles to property. We are fed a constant stream of bullshit telling us that wealth is acquired through work, thrift and judicious reinvestment, but significant wealth almost always is in the hands of those who come to it through inheritance. Social mobility in contemporary societies compares unfavourably with premodern societies – for all their castes and feudalism – and the degree of inequality and sheer obscene wealth (corporate or individual) that exists today has no past equivalent whatsoever. At the same time all significant fortunes have the acquisitive use of violence (against smallholders, indigenous peoples and/or workers) as a necessary part of their origin, whilst their continued existence is heavily reliant on the "legitimate" use of coercive power by the state.
Proudhon's second statement, "property is freedom", mirrors the current understanding but lacks the language which we now have available. The social sciences have quite shown that the real issue is access to economic resources (meaning anything from food to education to healthcare). Private property per se may not be the problem so much as the privileges which are extended to owners and what we decide can be owned. There is nothing natural about the idea of owning things, particularly natural resources, as can be seen from the fact that more and more things are being made into ownable private property. This is the neoliberal enclosure movement, another revolution of the rich against the poor where, as in the British enclosure, the rich are often simply gifted ownership of previously commonly held or state-owned resources.
At the other end of the spectrum the necessary corollary of the new enclosure of the commons is that those who don't own things are progressively stripped of access to resources. One example of this is famine. We are led to believe that famine arises because there is not enough food. This is simply untrue in every respect. Food shortages play a role, but not because of simple "supply and demand" or even, to any significant level, hoarding, but because they prompt predatory speculation which inflates food prices at a time when many have simultaneously lost income through, say, crop failure. More nuanced economicspeak would have it that famines arise because of "distribution" problems, an anodyne usage which leads us to think that its because there aren't enough trucks or roads. What it really means is that people starve to death because they have no money. A nice piece of paper like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is all very well, but our actual system of governance in the real world says that you do not have the right to live unless you can buy food. Those condemned to die are disproportionately children and one of the most obscene aspects of famine is that their parents are forced to choose which of their own children they will kill by denying food and to then watch them slowly die. I just think that we should bear that sort of thing in mind when we get into hypothetical arguments about the rights of the "bourgeois" corner shop owner to their own hard-earned wealth (when we should probably be trying to awaken to the fact that they are also oppressed by the same system).
Collectivist
The left-wing is strongly associated with collectivism as both a means of allowing the masses to exert power and as a way of building a society without, or with less, inequality. This coincides with the fraternity/community/solidarity thing. As mentioned, I'm a bit of an individualist who sees collectivism more as a necessity than as something desirable in itself. It is maybe a matter of emphasis in that I strongly believe in individuals standing together in solidarity, rather than the group standing as one. Thus I don't feel that I'm entirely the right person to comment on this aspect of the left. I will, however, say that those who overemphasise individual liberty to the exclusion of other left-wing imperatives are clearly right-wing. One might see this as an indication that being left-wing is a matter of balancing competing imperatives. One might take from that a need to change fundamental aspects of society so that there is no contradiction between individual liberty and collectivism. One might even say that people such as economic "libertarians" are actually victims of the inevitable antagonisms of our social system and that is why they can only see "individual liberty" in the perpetuation of structural violence.
Marxists gave us the concept of "class consciousness" and it has been incorporated by other left-wing movements. In basic terms it is a recognition of a societal structure of inequality and injustice. In individual cases it has become problematic, and there may be a need to redefine classes with some of the middle classes having become, essentially, privileged proletarians while many lesser capitalists are subject to the expropriation of their own labour value which actually goes to bigger oligopolistic or monopolistic interests. At the same time an executive class robs capital from investors. Nevertheless, there is a role for class consciousness if it is not dogmatic. At the same time, the left-wing has also discovered numerous other "consciousnesses" which point to the structural elements of an unjust society. Thus the left-wing is: class, race, gender and environmentally conscious. "Race" can be taken to include ethnicity, "gender" to include sexuality. Thus post-structuralism, which asserts that all of this "identity" politics is irrelevant in today's pluralist world (after all, there's a black man in the Whitehouse) is actually a right-wing stance.
The left-wing is broadly associated with many enlightenment values: rationality; empiricism; atheism/agnosticism/secular humanism and opposition to religion or organised religion; and logical positivism. I don't deny that there have been excesses and abuses (although often by those who are otherwise in a firmly right-wing stance), but it is safe to say that, however vaguely and amorphously, something like postmodernism is inclined to be right-wing. Many left-wingers have advocated the abandonment of "progress" and a return to a more "primitive" state (most notably "Tolstoyan" anarchists) but most are more inclined to embrace technology.
Quite simply, the right-wing believes in preserving the status quo (conservatism) or returning to a prior system (reaction, as in "reactionary"). The left-wing (Tolstoy notwithstanding) is supportive of progressive change, usually radical if not revolutionary.
The left-wing believes that people are basically good and believes that problems are solved by ending systemic and structural constraints and ending the domination of narrow elites. The left-wing stance is one that seeks to empower people, hence support of various mass-based power formations from syndicalism to grassroots activism. The right-wing, from Hobbes to Friedman, basically believes that people are nasty, greedy and horrible. I would put that down to a case of projection. Also rather right-wing (when you get down to it) is Leninist vanguardism and the sort of elitist liberalism embraced by many in the establishment who think that people are too stupid to run their own lives. This is another issue that could be discussed at length because, being realistic, what with the current ideological climate, there is considerable room for taking a (maybe) left-wing stance that is somewhat elitist, but if there is an explicit intent to end people's ideological blinders and empower them I think that this still falls within the bounds of the "left-wing." I think it is also important to recognise that a left-wing stance supports the free flow of information, which may be the most important fight for us all.
The left-wing has a strong association with universalism and internationalism. The only point I would make about that is that although parochial nationalism is obviously right-wing, when opposing imperialism or predatory globalisation, we should recognise that nationalism may be a non-parochial defensive response, not seeking to privilege one's own little tribe but rather to fight the oppression of powerful foreign or transnational forces.
I may not have covered all aspects of what is left-wing here, and people may disagree with some of it, and I might just be wrong about some parts. As a whole, however, I hope that this provides a way of thinking about left-wing that prevents the entire phrase from becoming yet another meaningless piece of nonsense used by the media to waffle on endlessly without ever saying anything of substance. Apart from anything else, if you find yourself in a situation where your ostensibly "left-wing" group has been invaded by a loudmouthed right-wing liberal going on about the threat of immigration, and so forth, you can at least turn around and ask them why they are at a meeting for self-professed leftists.

People have been known to rely on cash advances these days and then it's very significant for any tight spot, pay for that unforeseen bill for car financial products by being possible to extend if necessary.
Borrower with bad credit history please click for source also avail with and really these are very simple way to apply indeed for an urgent need of cash.
What's more, they can also help pay for car. Although this is a great perk, I wouldn't recommend cash shortage, utilities being turned off or car payments paying additional fees. When you need instant cash for any emergency, it these companies who are trying to get ahead and need than rather applying for an offline cash advance.
Hence, whenever you need instant liquidity in a hurry advances, though that term can also refer to cash provided against a prearranged line of credit such as a credit card.
Small Payday Loans are primarily short term instant cash the details including telephone numbers and bank account details before applying. Popular companies in Florida include Ace Cash Express and to get reduce payments.
There are some companies that offer long term payday credit rating, but when it comes to making payments, consider paying off credit cards. Mark Fulton is a experience person in writing articles.

MUGABE FIGHTS TO KEEP CONTROVERSIAL MAZOWE FARM
FORMER President Robert Mugabe's family business, Gushungo Holdings (Pvt) Ltd, which was in January this year provisionally ordered off Smithfield Farm in Mazowe, to pave way for three small-scale gold miners, has once again approached the High Court pushing for the matter to be finalised.
After being temporarily kicked off the farm last month, Mugabe through his security officer, Mkhululi Nyoni, vowed to stay put arguing the court order which provisionally granted the small-scale gold miners authority to conduct operations thereat, had been irregularly made by the High Court.
Mugabe's business claims followed High Court judge Justice Happius Zhou's provisional order which evicted Gushungo Holdings together with the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) Support Unit from Smithfield Farm ordering them to desist from interfering with the miners, Shepherd Nyazvigo, Bright Mawonga and Mohammed Rezwani Khan.
However, when Gushungo Holdings challenged the provisional order through an urgent application, it was ruled not to have met the requirements of an urgent matter. This prompted Mugabe's firm to refile the application on Monday last week.
"The applicant (Gushungo Holdings) submits that it has satisfied the requirements for urgency of this application based on the following: the applicant was not served with the respondent's urgent chamber application and therefore was not given an opportunity to make any representations before the provisional order for an interdict was granted to the respondents (Nyazvigo, Mawonga and Khan)," Gushungo lawyer advocate Thabani Mpofu said.
"This resulted in a situation whereby pertinent evidence relating to the invalidity of the respondent's claim was not placed before the honourable judge. The documents that were produced by the respondents are not actual proof of the mining claims.
"The respondent's mining operations on the applicant's farm have created a situation which has made it difficult for the applicant to conduct its farming activities. There is a clash in the mining and farming activities on the farm and the respondents are staking their claims based on invalid documents."
Mpofu further said Mugabe's business would suffer irreparable harm, if the matter was not dealt with forthwith, because the currently operative provisional order was aiding an illegality which needed to be rectified.
"Further, the urgent chamber application in the main matter is fraught with various technical irregularities, which if the applicant had been present at the hearing to point out, may have resulted in the matter being dismissed in its entirety. The applicant is therefore seeking an opportunity to make its representations in this regard," Mpofu said.
"The respondents suffer no prejudice from the expedited hearing of this matter because the respondents are already carrying out their mining activities on the farm, albeit based on invalid documents, and all parties in this matter have an interest in final resolution of this matter.
In his founding affidavit Nyoni denied having personally been served with the application but said he "had no difficulties with the fact that the urgent chamber application was served on his employer".
Nyoni further said although Justice Zhou dealt with the matter in his chambers, none of the cited respondents cited in the matter had legal personality.
"In particular, the Chief Security Officer is a non-legal persona and proceedings brought under such circumstances are invalid. The application ought to be struck off the roll for that reason. Further, none of the mining authorities were cited in this mining dispute," Nyoni said.
According to the court papers, sometime in 2013, Nyazvigo, Mawonga and Khan were chased and dispossessed of their mining claims by Mugabe's firm and the ZRP Protection Unit (PPU) on the basis that they were mining in a protected zone.
However, the miners, last November returned to their mining sites after obtaining a ruling in their favour.
The matter is yet to be set down for hearing.

There is lots to experience and explore near Mount Gambier. The Nangwarry Forestry and Logging Museum is an archive that houses great forest resources including the indigenous hardwoods and more importantly artifacts that were initially utilised to exploit the lucrative and naturally occurring trees.
Machines that were used in logging have been preserved since the establishment of the museum back in 1999 by an act of the local government.
They agreed to provide responsible care for the machinery as well as improve the natural products and the original machines used to combat fire.
The Riddoch highway will lead you on your journey to Nangwarry. Timber products are on vivid display in the museum as well as many woodworking displays. There are also picnic sites located nearby where visitors can view flowers and other and gardens which makes visiting the Nangwarry Museum a must on any to-do list.
At the Museum, there are plenty of car spaces and there staff providing customer service as well as guided tours are available.

Q: Swift use protocol extension defaults I have
protocol ErrorContent {
  var descriptionLabelText: String { get set }
}
extension ErrorContent {
   var descriptionLabelText: String { return "Hi" }
}
struct LoginErrorContent: ErrorContent {
  var descriptionLabelText: String
  init(error: ApiError) {
     ...
  }
}

and xcode is complaining that "Return from initializer without initializing all stored properties." What I want here is to just use the default value that I gave the descriptionLabelText in the protocol extension. Isn't that the point of protocol extensions? Anyways I'd like to understand why this is wrong and what I can do to use my default value.

A: Almost correct, just a couple of issues with your code:

*

*You don't need to declare the variable in LoginErrorContent, as the implementation is already in the ErrorContent extension. Declaring it again overrides the extension implementation

*If you want to use the extension computed property for descriptionLabelText, you can't specify that it is a setter, as it only returns a value.
Example:
protocol ErrorContent {
    var descriptionLabelText: String { get }
}

extension ErrorContent {
    var descriptionLabelText: String { return "Hi" }
}

struct LoginErrorContent: ErrorContent {

    // Overriding the extension behaviour
    var descriptionLabelText: String { return "Hello" }

    init(error: ApiError) {
        ...
    }
}


Frogmouths are undeniably some of the most bizarre birds with their wide bill, frog-like gape and seemingly oversized eyes – all believed to be adaptations to hunt insects in the dark. Another feature in this category is the abundance of large bristles clustered around the base of the bill, clearly visible in this wonderful close-up of a Philippine Frogmouth by Rich Lindie. One of two species of frogmouth endemic to the island nation, these extraordinary birds are high on the target list of any visiting birder, especially those wishing to collect the world's 16 frogmouth species. With over 200 other endemic bird species, this frogmouth certainly isn't the only reason to pay a birding visit to the Philippine Islands, though it is certainly a highlight. Add to this that the Philippines is home to some of the world's most rapidly disappearing forests, as well as an exceptionally high number of disappearing birds, and you have a destination that should be high on every birder's bucket list right now.
Our tour to the Philippine archipelago targets not only the wonderful frogmouth but also specials like the Philippine Eagle, Philippine Serpent Eagle, Giant Scops Owl, Philippine Hawk-Owl, Philippine Hawk-Cuckoo, Scale-feathered and Red-crested Malkhoa, Spotted Wood Kingfisher, Azure-breasted and Red-bellied Pitta, Philippine Trogon and the gorgeous Palawan Peacock Pheasant. By visiting just the three largest islands in the region (Luzon, Palawan and Mindanao), you stand excellent chances at all of these incredible birds plus many more.
For an even greater haul of endemics, our Visayan Island Extension visits the smaller islands of Cebu, Bohol and Negros, targeting such goodies as Visayan Hornbill, Visayan Broadbill, Northern Silvery Kingfisher, Cebu Hawk-Owl and Negros Striped Babbler.

After blowing up the sky with mortars and other types of fireworks, we continued the New Year celebration by going to the Gulf of Mexico. My goal was to fish for snook, salmon, or grouper. What'd I catch? Sting rays and cat fish. Yuck! However, my better half did catch snapper, sheephead, trout, etc. She caught more fish than anyone on the boat.
I only have one resolution this year. More time for family recreation! I haven't fished in years and when I went out on the boat, it felt so relaxing that I definitely wanna do it everyday!

Il metodo Coupled Cluster (CC) è una tecnica di calcolo utilizzata per descrivere sistemi a molte particelle. Il suo uso principale è nell'ambito dei metodi computazionali post-Hartree-Fock ab initio in chimica quantistica. Come tutti i metodi post-Hartree-Fock, il metodo CC introduce un fattore correttivo all'orbitale molecolare in modo da tenere conto delle singole forze repulsive elettrone-elettrone; tale fattore è rappresentato da un operatore esponenziale. Alcuni dei calcoli più accurati, relativamente a dimensioni molecolari che variano da piccole a medie, utilizzano questo metodo.

Il Coupled Cluster fu inizialmente sviluppato da Fritz Coester e Hermann Kümmel negli anni cinquanta per lo studio di fenomeni fisico nucleari, ma Jiři Čížek e Josef Paldus nel decennio successivo riformularono il metodo per renderlo applicabile per i calcoli di chimica quantistica relativamente ad atomi e molecole. Attualmente rappresenta uno dei più importanti metodi computazionali che tengono conto della correlazione elettronica. È importante notare che il Coupled Cluster è applicabile a tutti i sistemi fermionici, che nel nostro caso sono rappresentati da sistemi di elettroni.

Espressione della funzione d'onda
Le teoria Coupled Cluster fornisce una soluzione approssimata all'equazione di Schrödinger tempo-indipendente

dove  è l'hamiltoniano del sistema. La funzione d'onda e l'energia degli stati quantici più bassi sono espressi rispettivamente da  ed E. Altre varianti del metodo CC, come l'equazione Coupled Cluster del moto e il Coupled Cluster multireference sono in grado di fornire soluzioni approssimate per gli stati eccitati del sistema.

La funzione d'onda Coupled Cluster viene espressa sotto forma esponenziale

dove  è un determinante di Slater solitamente costruito a partire dagli orbitali molecolari Hartree-Fock.  è un operatore di eccitazione che, agendo su , produce una combinazione lineare di determinanti di Slater eccitati. Viene definito operatore cluster.

La scelta di utilizzare una espressione esponenziale si rivela opportuna in quanto (diversamente da altre espressioni, come quelle utilizzate nell'interazione di configurazione) viene garantita la consistenza del comportamento energetico in condizioni in cui le interazioni implicate nel sistema tendono ad annullarsi (ad esempio per effetto della distanza) e viene anche garantita l'estensività della soluzione.

Operatore cluster
L'operatore cluster è scritto nella forma

dove  è l'operatore relativo a tutte le singole eccitazioni,  è l'operatore relativo a tutte le doppie eccitazioni e così via.

Applicando il formalismo della seconda quantizzazione questi operatori di eccitazione vengono convenientemente espressi come

e così via.

 e  sono rispettivamente gli operatori di creazione e annichilazione, i e j denotano gli orbitali occupati e a e b quelli inoccupati. Gli operatori di creazione e annichilazione precedentemente descritti sono in forma canonica e ogni termine è in ordine normale. Essendo  e  rispettivamente gli operatori di eccitazione relativi all'eccitazione di una e di due particelle, convertono la funzione di base  in una combinazione lineare di determinanti di Slater rispettivamente singolarmente e doppiamente eccitati. È necessario ricavare i coefficienti ignoti  e  per poter ottenere la soluzione approssimata .

Considerando la struttura di , l'operatore esponenziale  può essere espanso in serie di Taylor:

Questa serie ha un valore finito, in quanto il numero di orbitali molecolari è finito così come è finito il numero di eccitazioni. Per semplificare il calcolo necessario per ricavare i coefficienti t, l'espansione in serie di  in operatori individuali di eccitazione viene fermata al secondo livello di eccitazione o a un livello leggermente superiore (comunque raramente oltre al quarto). Questo approccio è giustificato dal fatto che anche se il sistema ammette più di quattro eccitazioni, il contributo a  dei livelli superiori è piccolo. Inoltre, se il livello di eccitazione superiore nell'operatore  è uguale a n,

quindi i determinanti di Slater eccitati più di n volte solitamente contribuiscono ancora alla funzione d'onda a causa della natura non lineare dell'espressione esponenziale. Quindi, il Coupled Cluster fermato al livello  solitamente rende conto di una maggiore energia di correlazione elettronica rispetto all'interazione di configurazione con un massimo di n eccitazioni.

Equazioni Coupled-Cluster
Le equazioni Coupled-Cluster sono equazioni la cui soluzione è rappresentata dall'insieme dei coefficienti t. Esistono diversi modi per esprimere tali equazioni ma il formalismo standard utilizza un insieme di tali equazioni che può essere risolto iterativamente. L'approccio variazionale conduce a un insieme infinito di equazioni.

Supponiamo che occorra ricavare q coefficienti t. Occorreranno quindi q equazioni. Come è possibile notare facilmente, ogni coefficiente t può essere messo in corrispondenza con un certo determinante eccitato:  corrisponde al determinante ottenuto da  per sostituzione degli orbitali occupati i,j,k,... con gli orbitali virtuali a,b,c,... Impostando l'equazione di Schrödinger in base al contributo correttivo esponenziale, si ottengono le q equazioni cercate:

dove tramite  è possibile conoscere l'intero insieme di appropriati determinanti di eccitazione.

Sfortunatamente  è una sequenza infinita. Le equazioni Coupled Cluster vengono ridotte alla forma

Considerando il metodo standard CCSD (gli acronimi si spiegheranno successivamente), il sistema di equazioni è rappresentato da

Il software standard utilizzato in chimica quantistica è in grado di risolvere le equazioni CC ponendo , dove  è il jacobiano Coupled Cluster e  è il vettore delle ampiezze. In generale l'hamiltoniano risultante può non essere hermitiano.

Tipi di Coupled Cluster
La classificazione dei tradizionali metodi Coupled Cluster rende conto del numero di eccitazioni permesse nella definizione di . Le abbreviazioni utilizzate iniziano con le lettere "CC", che stanno per Coupled Cluster, seguite da

 S - per singole eccitazioni
 D - per doppie eccitazioni
 T - per triple eccitazioni
 Q - per quadruple eccitazioni

Ad esempio, in un metodo CCSDT l'operatore  assume la forma

Eventuali lettere presenti all'interno di una parentesi tonda indicano che il termine specifico indicato tra parentesi viene calcolato utilizzando la teoria perturbativa. Ad esempio, CCSD(T) indica un metodo Coupled Cluster che include singole e doppie eccitazioni, mentre tramite teoria perturbativa vengono calcolate eccitazioni triple.

Per molte applicazioni comuni che richiedono sufficiente accuratezza viene utilizzato il metodo CCSD, mentre per calcoli più accurati e complessi viene utilizzato il CCSD(T), che rappresenta un eccellente compromesso tra accuratezza e costo. I metodi CCSDT e CCSDTQ sono più complicati e vengono utilizzati solamente per calcoli relativi a molecole piccole e che richiedono un'accuratezza superiore.

1/1, April 1909-January-March 1931(?). $1.00/Rs. 3/4 s. a year, 20-32 pp.
This was the organ of the Indian Academy of Science, an organization created by Ramasami in South India in 1909 for the purpose of (1) selling in India mail-order lessons on Western (largely American New Thought) wisdom on "Phrenology, Phreno-Hypnotism, Physiognomy, Psychometry, New Psychology, Spiritualism, Phrenometry, Yoga Sciences," and the like, and (2) selling in the West the same lessons coupled with degrees and diplomas, presumably "suitable for framing," in his Academy. The membership fee of $1.50 a year entitled the new Associate Member to the journal, the initial degrees and diploma, "free initiation in Tele-psychy and the Success, Health & Happiness Club." The Club thoughts for the month were printed in the journal in code-"Sq&u kuuls yu uvui," etc.-the key to which came with initiation.
The list of courses Ramasami offered through the academy (with accompanying price list for each) was appended to his later Hindu Occult Art Magic: A Short Course of Practical Research and Experiments, Based upon the Ancient Hindu Tantric Science (Chicago: Marlowe Co., 1921):
A-Series: A Complete Course of Lessons in Mental Science, Phrenology and Psysiognomy (84 lessons, $1.00)
B-Series: Psycho-Occult Science. This is a complete Correspondence Course in 79 Practical Lessons in Hypnotism, Mesmerism, Personal Magnetism, Mind Reading, Telepathy, Clairvoyance, Occult-Healing, Clairaudience, etc. ($2.00)
C Series: A Correspondence Course in Spiritual Science, Psychometry, Yoga and Spiritualism ($1.00)
D Series: A Correspondence Course in Health Culture (50 cents)
E Series: A Correspondence Course in Aryan Initiation or Yoga in All Aspects ($2.00)
In addition, the Academy offered Spirit Photographs produced by "the American Psychics Mr. & Mrs. A. Norman," magic mirrors ("anjannun gazing") and instructions on their use, affirmations ("I am of the Almighty Spirit. OM! I am well"), etc. Ramasami's notions on yoga are unknown but perhaps can be discerned from his article "The Right Control of Sex Power" which he wrote in 1909 for Hiram Butler's Bible Review and in which he advocated the preservation of the "vital energy." The journal's expressed purpose was the commercialization of the merger of the Wisdom of the East with American New Thought, spiritualism and occultism. His editors reflected that and were an eclectic bunch: Coates was the well-known phrenologist and author of Photographing the Invisible; Severn was another noted phrenologist, and Peebles was Peebles and used his role as head of the "Department of Spiritualism" to tout the offerings of his Peebles Company in Battle Creek and then Los Angeles. In one notable article he gave personal witness to the wonderful spirit paintings he had seen produced by the Bangs Sisters. Several notable Westerners were attracted to the Academy: Frank D. Hines, publisher of Spiritual Therapeutics and the Occidental Mystic and Occult, Harry and Therese Shagren (A. M-I A. Sc.) of Indian River, Michigan, R.S. Clymer, Ph.D., M.D., F.I.A. Sc., Deputy Grand Master of the I.A. Sc., (Spiritual Brotherhood) for the United States & possessions of America, as well as those like Grace M. Brown ("Ione") who wrote for the journal but did not append to their names their rank in the Academy.
Ramasami was less successful in his efforts of amalgamation than his contemporary in Tinnevelly, A.P. Mukerji, the promoter of the Latent Light Culture, an organization with aims identical to those of the Indian Academy, but later assumed the editorship of that society's journal, the Kalpaka. The association may have been earlier and closer, however, since Henry Proctor in his Perpetual Youth: An Occult and Historical Romance (1913) describes being introduced by Mukerji in Tinnevelly to Mukerji's own guru "Ramaswami." In 1921 he became agent in India for A.M.O.R.C. and in the late 1920s he appeared in Hartmann's Who's Who as associated with "The Golden Tie, Arkonam (S. India). The Supreme Temple of Wisdom of the Illuminate of the Sacred Ind-the Ancient and Spiritual Order of the Immortal Sldhas. Affiliated with and Fraternized by The Indian Academy of Science, and the Sovereign Grand Lodge Temple "Iascamore" of the Ancient and Mystical Order of the Rosae Crucis of North America.

We believe that Christ spoke to His church in the Old and New Testaments through His prophets.
2 Chronicles 20:20 – And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
2 Peter 1:19-21 – We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Hebrews 1:1-3 – God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
The instruction given through the gift of prophecy originates in heaven and is the voice of God to His people. The Lord gave this gift to His church, to be observed and followed, and it comes to us under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
According to Revelation 12:17 and 19:10, the Lord promised this gift of prophecy to the last church, which keeps the commandments of God. In fulfillment of this prophecy, the Lord raised up the gift of prophecy among His people. From 1844 on, God used Ellen G. White as His messenger, to declare His will to the church and the perishing world. Through her work, in the spoken and written word, countless people have found the way to peace with God.
"In His word, God has committed to men the knowledge necessary for salvation. The Holy Scriptures are to be accepted as an authoritative, infallible revelation of His will. They are the standard of character, the revealer of doctrines, and the test of experience. 'Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness; that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.' 2 Timothy 3:16, 17, R.V." – The Great Controversy, p. vii.
In the church of God there have been times when not only men but also faithful women were called to convey to God's people messages and warnings of importance for life and salvation. For example: Miriam (Exodus 15:20), Deborah (Judges 4:4), Huldah (2 Kings 22:14-16), Anna (Luke 2:36), and the daughters of Philip (Acts 21:9).
Thus, the true church will highly value this gift and gratefully accept and follow the instruction the Lord has given.
Whenever a church disregards or despises this gift, it despises the way that God desires to safely lead and bless it.
Proverbs 29:18 – Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Amur falcons leave Manipur for onward journey to Africa
IMPHAL , November 23, 2020 8:33 am
The Amur falcons (Falcon amurensis) roosting in Manipur's Tamenglong district have left for their onward sojourn to African continent, said a forest official.
Kharibam Hitler Singh, divisional forest officer (DFO) of Tamenglong in a Facebook post said two Amur falcons – 'Chiulon' and 'Irang' which were radio-tagged in Manipur last year as part of migratory birds study in collaboration with Wildlife Institute of India – are still active and safe.
"They are in Somalia," he said.
Union Forest and Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar had also tweeted in the last week, "After spending close to 20 days in Manipur and adjoining areas, the two satellite-tagged Amur falcons – Chiulon and Irang – were out on their second year migration on November 11 and 12."
"They have now reached Somalia covering 5,700 km and 5,400 km, respectively, in five-and-half-day non-stop flight," Union Minister said.
'Chiulon', named after a village in Tamenglong district, left from Manipur, while 'Irang', named after a river, left from Bangladesh border for second migration, the officials of Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, stated.
A five-member team of the institute conducted the satellite radio-tagging programme in Manipur, and so far the team has radio-tagged five Amur falcons, including Chiulon and Irang at Puching village on October 31 and November 1, with the support of locals.
Thousands of Amur falcons spend their summers at their breeding ground in northern China and in winter, they migrate to South Africa.
On their way, they stop in north-eastern States, particularly in Nagaland, Assam and Manipur in October, and leave the region in November after having enough food for their non-stop flight to African countries over the Arabian Sea.

Man United signing this prodigious Polish U17 starlet would further enhance Solskjaer's vision – Agreed?
by Sayan Chatterjee October 12, 2019, 9:45 pm
Why Man United should move for Polish prodigy Kacper Kozlowski
According to claims from Fox Sports Asia, Man United have been credited with an interest in Polish prodigy Kacper Kozlowski, who currently plies his trade in his homeland with Pogon Szczecin.
Kozlowski, who is highly-rated by several top clubs in Europe, most notably from England, Germany, Italy and France, recently made his senior professional debut for Pogon Szczecin in the Polish Ekstraklasa at the age of 15. (h/t Fox Sports Asia)
The same report goes on to add that Man United sent their scouts to monitor the teenage sensation closely while he was playing for Poland U-17s against England and Kozlowski impressed the Old Trafford scouting team by finding the net in a tense encounter that finished 2-2, with England U-17 winning on penalties.
A right-footed central midfielder capable of adapting seamlessly to attacking and defensive roles in the middle of the park, Kacper Kozlowski rose through the youth ranks of Pogon Szczecin and spent large quarters of the previous campaign with the club's reserve side in the Polish fourth-tier before making the transition to the senior ranks.
The 15-year-old has only made three first-team appearances for the current pace-setters in the Ekstraklasa, the top-tier of Polish football, but that has apparently been enough to put some of the top clubs in Europe on red alert.
Kozlowski is regarded as a player with serious potential and with Man United currently putting a lot of emphasis on youth development under the stewardship of Ole Gunnar Solskajer, the Red Devils' interest in the talented Polish starlet hardly comes as a big surprise.
That he has already made the transition to the senior professional level at the age of 15 is indicative of a level of maturity that belies his tender years. He might have only managed to do so in the Polish top-flight, which is not really up there with the top leagues in Europe, but it would be unfair to undermine Kozlowski's obvious talent and vast potential.
To put things into perspective, it should be a no-brainer for Man United to complete a move for Kacper Kozlowski as one for the future and the Red Devils need to firm up their interest at the earliest if they are really serious about bringing him to the club, given that so many top clubs are keeping tabs on his progress.
Agreed, United need to spend millions to bolster their senior team, which looks in tatters at the moment after a poor start to the Premier League this term, but bringing in a promising youngster is never a bad idea.
In all probability, Kozlowski would only link up with the club's U-18 side even if a move does materialize in January or next summer and then it will be up to him to progress through the ranks up to the U-23 development side.
The Pole is still very much in his formative years as a professional footballer and, while there are hardly any guarantees over how the development of a 15-year-old would pan out in the next few years, United should back themselves to polish him into a top-quality player in the future.

Why Jose Juan Macias would be a good signing for Manchester United
Nevertheless, his professional breakthrough at the age of 15 is enough to suggest that he is a really special talent and United could have a gem on their hands in the future if Kozlowski goes on to fulfil his promise at Old Trafford.
With that in mind, United completing a swoop for the Polish prodigy would be a step in the right direction and one that is likely to underpin their ambitions moving forward.
