United Kingdom - Churchill Variants
In 1943 an attempt was made to produce a 17-pdr gun armed tank on the Churchill chassis. It was known that sufficient numbers of the 17-pdr Challenger cruiser were not going to be produced in time for the invasion of Europe, and work was only starting on the Centurion cruiser design. Due to the wider turret required, Vauxhall had to redesign the hull though it used as much of the Churchill Mark VII as possible. This resulted in the Tank, Infantry, Black Prince (A43). Six prototypes were built and delivered in May 1945 just as the European war was ending. The test programme was completed but the project was cancelled due to the emergence of the new and less complicated Centurion Mk1 which offered the same armament and armour and had just entered production.

"Last I heard, we were still going at the end of this year. I've heard a pitch of the story. It's actually going to be really exciting. I was slightly weary, just because you never know when it comes to a sequel. But I think the first one opened up enough avenues.
Franco also says the follow-up's story will explore more of the off-stage lives of this tight-knit band of illusionists.


Spread out all of the vegetables on a large, lightly-greased baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over all. Sprinkle the salt, pepper and Italian seasoning over the vegetables and toss everything gently with a fork to coat more evenly. Bake for 45 minutes until lightly browned. Remove vegetables and turn off oven.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the beaten eggs. As the egg begins to set, swirl the skillet and lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula to distribute the uncooked egg. When almost completely set, sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over egg.
When cheese begins to melt, spoon the roasted veggies over one side of the eggs. Gently, tilt the skillet and flip the loose side of the omelet over the vegetables.
Cut into 4 equal wedges and serve immediately.
This is a very fresh tasting omelet. You can also replace the Italian seasoning mix with an equal amount of chopped fresh herbs like basil or oregano.
What do you think of Roasted Veggie Egg White Omelet?
Whoa! What size skillet do you have that you can make a 12-egg omelet?! Two tips from me: Make this as 4 separate omelets. You can keep each omelet warm in an oven at 250 until ready to serve. Also, if you use 6 whole eggs mixed with 6 egg white, the omelets hold together better. Last bit of advice: If you can, grill the vegetables. It makes everything so much better.

I've been feeling kind of down about myself the last couple of months, because I've been fluctuating up and down with the same five pounds I've been trying to lose for a while. At one point, I said to myself, "Self," I said, "I've lost 30 lbs. since last summer. I am not a failure. I just need some motivation to get moving again!"
I have. Last July, I weighed 310 lbs. I currently weigh 284. (I weighed 280 on Monday, so I'm sticking to my 30 lbs. story.) I *should* be proud of myself. However, I keep seeing the number 160 in my head, and I'm not satisfied. I haven't been able to get down past 280. That's my current immediate goal. I need to see that magic number 7 on the scale. I think once I get to see that, my motivation to work harder will return.
So I figured I would start a blog. I will be entirely honest on this blog, admitting when I binge or cheat, admitting when I'm too lazy to get off the couch to move, and admitting when my spirits are at their lowest. Sometimes, I just feel like a fat, ugly cow. Last night, I felt that way. This morning, when I noticed that my arms have actually gotten fatter in the LAST FEW DAYS, I felt that way. Right now, I just feel angry and motivated. It's time to get serious.
This blog isn't just about my never-ending quest to lose weight. It's also going to be about my hobbies (I knit, I read a lot, I watch a lot of movies, I'm learning to crochet, I bake, I make jams/candles/soap, I cook - a lot, and I'm a mediocre amateur photographer LOL.), my kids (I have two - Zachary, who's 12 1/2 and Skye, who will be 10 in a week or so), and life in general.
I'll post a current pic and weigh-in this evening when I get home (ugh), as well as measurements. Rob will be doing proper measurements when I visit next week, but in the meantime, I'm doing them as best I can.

This has a less demanding, and therefore more easily achievable, objective than experimental launching. In this case, the decision to launch a new product has already been made. The aim of the pilot launch is to introduce the product into a limited area to test various aspects of the marketing approach, such as the price, the advertising, the distribution method, and so on. A pilot launch is often the first stage in a 'rolling launch'. In this case, the new product is launched into one area, measurements are taken about its performance in that area, and the marketing strategy is modified accordingly. The product is then launched into a neighbouring area, and so on, rolling out to cover the whole country. Decisions about whether this product form is better than that, whether this package is more successful than that, whether this price commands higher sales volume than that, can quite reasonably be made as the launch is under way.

Gambles, Crawford in Wisconsin
Aussie Joe Gambles had a nice Ironman debut with a win at the 2010 Ford Ironman Wisconsin, but he had to chase down a few folks to get it done. Kiwi Gina Crawford broke her own course record from 2007 and won the women's race with a superb performance.
To no one's surprise, John Flanagan was first out of the waters of Lake Monona in Madison and had a lead of about 5 minutes over a group that contained Brandon Marsh, Romain Guillaume, Konstantin Bachor, Will Smith and Joe Gambles.
The German Bachor and French Pro Guillaume set a very hard pace on the bike and caught Flanagan at around the 27 mile mark. American Smith was up early on with Bachor and Guillaume but soon dropped back and eventually out with knee issues. The only other man to keep pace was Gambles, but he had done slower, more methodical first transition and was riding alone a bit further back. The two Europeans kept riding fast up front and the German Bachor eventually got away from his French counterpart around mile 90. About 10 miles earlier, Gambles had received a penalty for crossing the yellow line and was now sitting 6 minutes back. American Eric Bean was riding strong in fourth position at that time and eventually caught and passed Gambles shortly before T2. Up front meanwhile, Bachor arrived in transition 1:36 ahead of Guillaume and more than 6:30 before Bean and Gambles.
Guillaume soon lost even more time to Bachor on the run, and behind him Gambles was looking very fast in third position. Bachor though soon paid for his efforts and started walking around 8 miles into the marathon. Gambles meanwhile had passed Guillaume and by the 11 mile mark was the new race leader. From there the Aussie cruised to a very strong win in his Ironman debut and with his time of 8:38:32 broke the course record of Chris McDonald by just about 5 minutes. Guillaume held on to finish in second place and Bean grabbed third. Long time race leader Bachor dropped out.
American Hillary Biscay was first out of the water among the women, but Kiwi Gina Crawford was right there. With a speedy transition it was actually Crawford who was first out on the bike.
Once Crawford pedaled along the scenic roads of Madison, Wisconsin, she steadily built up a monster lead over all other chasers. Only Desiree Ficker was able to stay somewhat in the same "area code" of Crawford's bike time of 5:12:50, but once you added on the much slower swim time, Ficker arrived in T2 more than 15 minutes behind Crawford. Dutch Pro Mirjam Weerd was running in third position, another 2 minutes down. Ficker though was struggling and soon dropped out of the race. German Kristin Moeller was now in third place, a massive 23 minutes behind, but running very fast. The German in fact soon caught Weerd for second place and eventually ran a 3:00:26 in her Ironman debut. Up front though it was all about Gina Crawford and it became clear that her own course record was going to get broken. The only question left remaining was by how much?
Her final time of 9:27:26 topped her 2007 time by almost 10 minutes and earned the fast Kiwi another Ironman title. Moeller crossed the line in second place and Weerd took the final podium spot.

Womens Hockey	 January 10, 2022 January 10, 2022
We are finally beginning the women's list for the 2021 season. I debated a lot about if I should make a list this year. For women's hockey during the 2020-2021 season, there was a 12 game PLHK season, along with maybe five playoff games. A few top players also have the EWHL season and national team games. At most, you have around a 35 game season if a player played in every single one of those games, which for U20 players was not the case. We are working with a highly limited number of games, especially ones on film, to rank players on. While I never like to judge players on A single international events, IIHF events give us five games with footage where young players had a chance to play. It can represent one-third or more of a competitive season for a U18 player.
I wanted to make a list this year, as every single time Poland's women team faces a new roadblock, they still find a way to grow. We had some great years and break-out seasons in the PLHK, along with a few players taking large career jumps. I will say take these rankings with more than a grain of salt. I am heavily relying on stats, limited footage, and a few outside opinions. I never intend for my rankings to be material for scouting, but more like a who to watch list for fans.
Players had to be under 20 on June 30th, 2021. We are only judging play that occurred before that date as well. Players are evaluated based on a combination of career history, current play, and potential. While most of the ranking is my opinion, numerous Polish hockey people contributed their thoughts on players. Ninety-five players were considered for the list and reviewed, and fifty players received a ranking. Players 50-31 will be revealed at the end of the series in the breakdown article. Only the top 30 players receive a report.
30 – Amelia Bula (RW), 17, Naprzod Janow, (Not Ranked)
Bula has continued her steady offensive production increase reaching a new career-high in goals with nine in 15 games. Bula's five goals in PLHK B found her tied for 12th among all skaters in the league. In total, she added three assists for a new career-high in points with 12. The goal-scoring right-winger would have undoubtedly made her first appearance on Poland's U18 squad. She was named to the initial tournament but will be aged out for next year if the tournament is not rescheduled.
Bula goal vs Latvia U18
29 – Alicja Kopciara (F), 19, Unia Oswiecim, (24, -5)
Kopciara takes another fall in the rankings. As the forward gets closer and closer to graduating from the list, their production has not increased as you would like to see from a veteran of the PLHK at this point. With just two goals in PLHK A, it was the lowest total of her career. She did add three goals and two assists in five PLHK playoff games. A player that can hang with the best of them in Poland, but may not be a national team level forward yet.
Alicja Kopciara Goal vs Cracovia
28 – Karolina Rostalska (D), 20, UKH Biale Jastrzebie (25, -3)
Rostalska takes a slight fall on the list again. After a breakout year in 2019 with 11 points, her production has decreased in both years since, and not something you want to see from a player gaining more experience. In total, she had two goals and three assists in 15 games. Of course, they're also a defensewoman, so I don't want to judge them on production, but it was also what happened to get them ranked so highly previously. Has above average height for the PLHK and uses her long reach for easy takeaways at times.
Rostalska Goal vs Podhale
27 – Adriana Solecka (RW), 19, Atomowki Tychy (30, +3)
I feel for the players on Tychy in 2021, as there was not much to work with at times. In total, the team only scored 14 goals. A fifth of those goals involved Solecka, who finished with a goal and two assists in 12 games. Not a great year, but she kept pace with the previous production while her team went from 19 goals to 14. Her three points this year were third on Tychy. Again another player where stats don't tell their whole story.
Solecka goal vs Oswiecim
26 – Anna Zaborska (F), 19, Unia Oswiecim, (Not Ranked)
Zaborska has steadily earned more and more in Oswiecim, and she is now becoming a more reliable option on the offensive side. During the 2021 season, Zaborska set a new career-high with four points (3G-1A-4PTS) in 12 games. She would also add another goal and two assists in five PLHK playoff games. The Krakow native is primed to earn a lot more chances for the 2022 season.
Zaborska Goal vs Cracovia
25 – Olga Jaskulska (F), 16, Stoczniowiec Gdansk, (28, +3)
Jaskulska switched over to the Gdansk organization full time in 2021 after appearing for UKS Wikingowie Elbląg and Gdansk in 2020. In total, she posted two assists in seven games, which is slightly below her production in 2021. She also played ten games with the men's Stoczniowiec Gdansk u18 team scoring one goal. Most likely will be a U18 appointment soon, possibly next season.
24 – Patrycja Wójcik (D), 16, Polonia Bytom, (Not Ranked)
Wójcik is someone I was hoping to see at the U18s. I have heard a lot of great things, with one person telling me they were a guaranteed national team defender soon. That seemed to be proving true this year after rejoining Polonia Bytom after a season in Janow. Playing for the best team in Poland's women division in a solid defensive role is a good sign for one's future. While we don't judge players on anything that happened after June 30, getting chances on Metropolis Katowice is a good sign for how the national team sees her. She played 11 games in Polonia Bytom, with 25 games in the juniors.
Wójcik shot and assist vs Latvia
23 – Zuzanna Rduch (F), 18, UKH Biale Jastrzebie (Not Ranked)
Rduch has continued to establish herself as one of the best offensive options on Jastzrebie. This year she posted another career-high in points with 32 (21G-11A-32PTS) in 15 games across the PLHK B and C. Her 32 points ere the second-most points among all B league players and tied for second in goals.
Rduch Goal vs Podhale
Jasztrzebie was one of the few teams I was able to watch a lot of film on this year, even if only random highlights. In those highlights, though Rduch and Szymik were an amazing duo. Rduch likely would have had a shot at making the U18 squad last year, but unfortunately had already aged out for this year.
Rduch Rush down the ice vs. Cracovia
22 – Alicja Mota (F), 17, Polonia Bytom, (23, +1)
This is where having to rely on statistics hurts a lot. Mota is a young talented forward on a powerhouse team in Polonia Bytom. Offensive chances may be few and far between, and she did get a few opportunities on the second line but was mostly relegated to the third or bottom line. The Ruda Slaska native saw her production drop from five points in 14 games to two in 11. Mota has a lot of talent and would have continued to work her way up the U18 squad roster. She likely missed two U18 IIHF tournaments due to covid. In some games to end the year with the U18 squad, she recorded two goals and an assist versus Latvia.
Mota goal vs Latvia
21 – Matylda Stępień (F), 13, PTH Kozice Poznan, (Not Ranked)
Every year a player on the list makes me feel old. That title goes to Matylda Stępień, who was born in 2008. At just 12-years-old, they were able to post 23 points (15G-8A-23PTS) in 15 games. This was their rookie senior season as well. The Warszawa native also played for the Warszawa men's junior team recording three goals and three assists in seven games. I hope they are on a path similar to that of Magdalena Łąpieś.
Stępień Goal vs Podhale

Amid reports of a pending divorce, the beauty mogul is reportedly moving forward with plans to end her six-year marriage to Kanye West. According to Us Weekly, Kim has sought the guidance of "her financial advisors to figure out an exit plan that would be best for her whole family."
The report also claims that Kim "began talks" with high-profile divorce attorney Laura Wasser last July to discuss a strategy following the couple's marital woes.
"Kim has had all of her and Kanye's financials and properties ready to be split, it's a very fair deal for everyone," the source tells Us. "Kim has all of her assets and financials ready for when she decides to file officially. Friends thought she was going to file in September, but she's holding out. That does not mean that everything behind the scenes is already done."
The couple, who shares four children–North, Chicago, Saint, and Psalm–has "completely" stopped going to marriage counseling, a sign that divorce could be imminent.
"They are just not on the same page when it comes to their future as a family," an insider told PEOPLE earlier this month. "And Kim is okay with it."
Their relationship took a turn after Kanye's presidential campaign rally in South Carolina last July, when he claimed that the couple thought about aborting their daughter North. "The comments about North and the abortion were the final confirmation. She will protect the children first, always," said an insider.
Their issues continued when Kanye showed up late to his wife's birthday on a private island in October and was noticeably absent from the Kardashian-Jenner Christmas Eve celebration. For Christmas, Kanye reportedly bought his wife five 2021 Mercedes-Maybach SUVs priced at just under $200,000 each, while Kim gave Yeezy several James Turrell art pieces worth over $1 million.
But that apparently wasn't enough to save their marriage. "They have both been living separate lives for many months now. … Kanye isn't as focused and doesn't live in the real world," reports Us. "Their world views no longer line up."
Kim's inner circle is "skeptical" that she'll actually pull the plug, but think that divorce could be what's best for the couple. "While they have a multitude of problems, friends on both sides think there is a chance this separation could give them a fresh start," the source said.

The 27.5 inch wheels let you get improved traction while still being nimble and quick and is therefore one of our best beginner mountain bike and has therefore earned a place in our list of best mountain bikes for beginners.
This is one of the top rated mountain bikes 2019 due to its affordability and quick release saddle to let you easily adjust the height. The handling of this bike is responsive and the wheels are 26 inches. Stopping is fine with the alloy linear pull brakes and the grip shifters include 21 different speeds that can be quickly and smoothly changed.
The 29 inch wheels of this bike let it easily get over any type of obstacle that may be in your path, whether it is a root or rock. You also get incredible speed and traction, while the special travel suspension fork helps the wheels counter the smaller obstacles.
This is one of the best beginner mountain bikes 2019 for those looking to find more aggressive trails that require full suspension. The full-suspension is what really makes this particular mountain bike stand out from the crowd and this bike includes four inches for suspension travel to soak up some of the obstacles in your path.
This is one of our best beginner mountain bikes because it folds to make life easier, whether you are finding storage space for the bike in a small important or trying to take it with you on public transportation or in a small car.

You know that a mountain bike can be expensive, which is why it is so important to pick the right one. The best mountain bikes will keep you safe on your adventures, be affordable, and have an impressive array of features. By learning which features are the most important for a mountain bike, you will be better able to make an informed purchase. Here are these most important features to consider for your next mountain bike.
There are three main types of mountain bikes so you need to figure out which style is right for you. You can look at a XC, All Mountain/Trail, or Downhill bike. Mountain bikes are also sometimes divided by the suspension type into full suspension (featuring shock absorbers in the front and rear), hardtail (featuring a suspension fork in front), and rigid (without suspension). To choose the right style, simply consider where you plan to use your bike the most.
If you prefer to maximize comfort and control, you will want to go with a full suspension model. That being said, more affordable hardtail bikes will pedal more efficiently and be lighter.
A very important feature is the size of the wheel on your mountain bike. Not too long ago, all adult ones had 26 –inch wheels. Today, you can also get 29-inch wheels which give you slower acceleration but let you travel further in a shorter amount of time. They are better at keeping up their momentum and can roll over obstacles on the trail more easily. Those in search of a middle ground can choose 27.5-inch wheels, which are easier to maneuver than 29-inch ones but get over terrain better than 26-inch ones.
Another feature is the material of the frame. This will affect the price of the mountain bike as well as its weight, longevity, strength, and ride quality. Aluminum alloy frames are the most popular because it has a good balance of all features. Steel frames are cheaper, but heavy. Titanium frames are strong and light but expensive. Carbon fiber ones are also light weight and strong but expensive, but popular for fat bikes, cross-country bikes, and high-end ones for trails and mountains.
There are several types of brakes available on mountain bikes: rim and disc brakes. Disc brakes are newer and give you more stopping force. They are, however, more expensive, meaning that many people still prefer the traditional rim brakes.
You need to figure out what type of shifting system for your mountain bike you are most comfortable with. You can find options with thumb shifters, twist shifters, paddle shifters, and trigger shifters.
Weight has been mentioned in some of the other features to consider when purchasing a mountain bike, but it is important enough to consider by itself. Most people prefer a lighter bike since that makes it much easier to transport. Light bikes will be easier to maneuver while riding and easier to lift up and place inside your car or on a bike rack.
Before you head out on your next biking trail, be sure that you have one of the top rated mountain bikes 2019 to take with you. Each of the above options would be an excellent purchase for hours of fun on any dirt path, including those with tough obstacles. Just be sure to wear a helmet for safety and you will be on your way to adventure and yes, don't forget to purchase the best lock for your bikes as well.

Japanese company's lander heads for the moon with a rover from the United Arab Emirates
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A Tokyo company aimed for the moon with its own private lander on Sunday, blasting off atop a SpaceX rocket with the United Arab Emirates' first lunar rover and a toy-like robot from Japan designed to roll up there in the gray dust.
It will take nearly five months for the lander and its experiments to reach the moon.
The ispace company designed their craft to use minimal fuel to save money and allow more space for cargo. So it takes a slow, low-energy path to the moon, flying 1.6 million miles from Earth before looping and crossing with the moon by the end of April.
In contrast, NASA's Orion crew capsule with test dummies took five days to reach the moon last month. The lunar flyby mission ends Sunday with an immersion in the Pacific.
The ispace lander will target the Atlas crater in the northeast part of the near side of the moon, more than 87 kilometers across and just over 2 kilometers deep. With all four legs extended, the lander measures over 2.3 meters (7 feet).
With a scientific satellite already around Mars, the United Arab Emirates also wants to explore the Moon. His rover, named Rashid after the Dubai royal family, weighs just 22 pounds (10 kilograms) and will operate on the surface for about 10 days, like the rest of the mission.
Emirates project manager Hamad AlMarzooqi said landing on an unexplored part of the moon would provide "new and much appreciated" scientific data. Moreover, the lunar surface is "an ideal platform" for testing new technologies that could be used for possible human expeditions to Mars.
In addition, there is national pride – the rover represents "a pioneering national undertaking in the space sector and a historic moment which, if successful, will be the first Emirati and Arab mission to land on the surface of the moon", he said in a statement. lift-off.
Additionally, the lander carries a Japan Space Agency orange-sized sphere that will transform into a wheeled robot on the moon. Also flying: a solid-state battery from a Japan-based spark plug company; a flight computer from an Ottawa, Ontario company with artificial intelligence to identify geological features seen by the UAE rover; and 360-degree cameras from a Toronto-area company.
Hitching on the rocket was a small NASA laser experiment that is now bound for the moon to chase ice in the permanently shadowed craters of the lunar south pole.
The ispace mission is called Hakuto, in Japanese meaning white rabbit. In Asian folklore, a white rabbit is said to live on the moon. A second lunar landing by the private company is scheduled for 2024 and a third in 2025.
Founded in 2010, ispace was among the Google Lunar XPRIZE finalists competition requiring a successful moon landing by 2018. The ispace-built lunar rover was never launched.
Another finalist, an Israeli nonprofit called SpaceIL, managed to reach the moon in 2019. But instead of landing smoothly, the Beresheet spacecraft slammed into the moon and was destroyed.
With Sunday's predawn launch from Space Force Station Cape Canaveral, ispace is now on track to become one of the first private entities to attempt a moon landing. Although they won't launch until early next year, lunar landers built by Pittsburgh's Astrobotic Technology and Houston's Intuitive Machines could beat iSpace to the moon thanks to faster cruise times.
Only Russia, the United States and China have succeeded in so-called "soft landings" on the Moon, starting with the former Soviet Union's Luna 9 in 1966. And only the United States has sent astronauts on the lunar surface: 12 men on six landings.
Sunday marked the 50th anniversary of the last lunar landing by astronauts, by Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt of Apollo 17 on December 11, 1972.
NASA's Apollo moon shots were "all about the excitement of technology," said ispace founder and CEO Takeshi Hakamada, who was not yet alive at the time. Now, "that's the excitement of the business."
"This is the dawn of the lunar economy," Hakamada noted during SpaceX's launch webcast. "Let's go to the moon."
Liftoff should have taken place two weeks ago, but was delayed by SpaceX for additional rocket checks.
Eight minutes after launch, the recycled first-stage booster landed at Cape Canaveral under a near-full moon, the double sonic booms echoing through the night.

Man left with life-threating injuries after having house burgled in Peacehaven
Aldi remains "fully committed" to opening store in Horsham – despite charity shop opening on same site
Regeneration boost for seafront
Newhaven and Seaford will benefit from a cash injection after the Government approved applications for two Coastal Community Teams.
Friday, 26th February 2016, 12:00 pm
Newhaven West Beach ENGSUS00120130226113951
Each Coastal Community Team will receive £10,000 of grant funding to help them establish themselves as a group and develop their Economic Plan for the area.
Newhaven Town Council was successful in its application to form a Coastal Community Team to revive the town.
The funding it receives will go towards the practical steps of repairing the quaint signal box at West Quay and providing historical information for visitors to the promenade next to West Beach.
This will be one more step towards improving the public realm in this part of Newhaven and will start to manifest the aspiration that Newhaven be a destination to live, visit and work in for years to come.
Communities secretary Greg Clark said: "Our Great British Coast has enormous economic potential and we are determined to see it thrive all year round – not just in the summer months.
"The huge number of plans submitted, demonstrate the wave of optimism, and wealth of creative and practical ideas to boost economic lift-off.
"I now want to see their hard work and enthusiasms come to fruition by helping to deliver their ideas through the Coastal Community teams."
Steve Saunders, Mayor of Newhaven, added: "Here in Newhaven, we plan to expand on the current partnership working that we have with the major players that can influence Newhaven's future and listen to the local community as to how they would like to see their town improve for the future. Newhaven has faced its own unique challenges but there is significant potential for improvement by accessing the ideas, enthusiasm and pride of our local community."
Impact Seaford – the regeneration delivery partnership for the town – also received a boost in their plans to drive growth, jobs and prosperity as a Coastal Community Team.
Councillor Paul Franklin, a Board Member of Impact Seaford, said: "Impact Seaford is delighted to be designated as a Coastal Community Team.
"This is a fantastic partnership which brings together local authorities, businesses and the local community to work on developing our plans to make Seaford an even better place to live, work and visit. We have already had some notable successes, including the I Love Seaford app, and the future for Seaford is bright."

Q: Communicating with WebSocket server using a TCP class Would it be possible to send and receive data/messages/frames to and from a WebSocket server interface using a standard TCP class?
Or would I need to fundamentally change the TCP class?
If this is possible, could you show me a little example of how it could look like? (programming language doesn't really matter)
For example I found this node.js code which represents a simple tcp client:
var net = require('net');

var client = new net.Socket();
client.connect(1337, '127.0.0.1', function() {
    console.log('Connected');
    client.write('Hello, server!');
});

client.on('data', function(data) {
    console.log('Received: ' + data);
});

Maybe you could show me what would have to be changed to make it communicate with a WebSocket.

A: Websockets is a protocol that runs over TCP/IP, as detailed in the standard's draft.
So, in fact, it's all about using the TCP/IP connection (TCP connection class / object) to implement the protocol's specific handshake and framing of data.
The Plezi Framework, written in Ruby, does exactly that.
It wraps the TCPSocket class in it's wrapper called Connection (or SSLConnection) and runs the data through a Protocol input layer (the WSProtocol and HTTPProtocol classes) to the app layer and then through the Protocol output layer (the WSResponse and HTTPResponse classes) to the Connection:
 TCP/IP receive -> Protocol input layer ->
     App -> Protocol output -> TCP/IP send

A Websocket handshake always starts as an HTTP request. You can read the Plezi's handshake code here*.
* the handshake method receives an HTTPRequest, HTTPResponse and an App Controller and uses them to send the required HTTP reply before switching to Websockets.
Once the handshake is complete, each message received is made up of message frames (one or more). You can read the frame decoding and message extraction code used in the Plezi Framework here.
Before sending messages back, they are divided into one or more Websocket Protocol frames using this code and then they are sent using the TCP/IP connection.
There are plenty of examples out there if you google. I'm sure some of them will be in a programming language you prefer.

As British Prime Minister Theresa May recently vowed to eliminate the UK's plastic waste by the year 2042, we are proud to state that in the last year we have reduced our use of plastic packaging by 75% across our casual range!
It comes as the government steps up its plan for a cleaner environment in the midst of increasing concern around the amount of plastic waste produced in this country.
Here at Double TWO Shirts and our corporate arm, Sugdens, we have long recognised the impact that our products and services have on the environment. To keep this to a minimum, the company adheres to a strict environmental management system.
This involves a commitment to pollution prevention and reduction of carbon emissions, minimisation of waste and avoidance of landfill, efficient use of energy, transport, water and other natural resources and a commitment to reducing upstream environmental impacts through our supply chain.
Environmental performance is constantly monitored and continually improved, resulting in a current BS EN ISO 14001 : 2004 certification.
"We're delighted to have been able to achieve a 75% reduction in the amount of packaging we use on our garments and as such reduce the amount of waste produced. We've always been committed to doing our bit for the environment and will continue to do so." states our Chairman, Richard Donner.
With a recent reduction in the amount of plastic packaging used for storing and presenting Double TWO Casual Shirts and garments, we are proud of the fact that we are now using 75% less single use plastic than a year ago.
In the wake of the government's announcement we have undertaken a new resolve to help eliminate plastic waste entirely.

I have to agree with Tina on the agave's also..... I have been a sucker a few times my worst was a bog standard agave Americana variegated, that had a load of spiel about where it had come from and how rare it was and how its variegation was so much different. Turns out its just a normal everyday plant that was slightly too pale and once in decent light turned out normal yellow variegation. I paid around £25 for that pup.
This is quite a nice coloured one, E. frank reinelt, which is a hybrid of agavoides and colorata. I generally check the names on the International Crassulacea Network website, assume this would show which names are correctly registered?
There isn't a Registration authority for Echeveria, any volunteers? Incidentally, Agave has a mention in this thread and there is a Registration Authority for that: American Public Gardens Association based at the US National Arboretum.
Not grumbling this time. Just celebrating Agavoides!
Forgot to include Echeveria Agavoides Aquamarine.
Mine has grown into quite a beast, no pups as of yet.
Pupwise only Lipstick seems to readily produce them. I guess other hybrids have to be very happy to do that, has anyone had experiences of Ebony, Romeo,etc producing offsets? I'm not sure I could ever chop one of plants to force them to offset.
I'm having a go at growing some from seed, and if my hybrids flower together once the temps are right, then perhaps I can try hybridizing?
Don't forget that most non-variegated echeverias can be propagated from stem leaves or from the bracts removed from inflorescences. Having said that, I have never tried E. agavoides, there are always exceptions to general principles.
Agavoides is easy from stem leaves. I haven't tried flower stem bracts for this species - it's usually a good method because you don't damage the main rosette.
I suspect the gold glitter leaved E. agavoides on sale in garden centres at Christmas don't come true from leaf cuttings, but I've resisted buying any.
My large Ebony, has produced two pups naturally.

And, yet, right alongside the piece about EMI, the Times ran a piece ominously entitled "MySpace might have friends but it wants ad money." Of course, it does. MySpace is a business not a social utility. Its purpose is to enrich Murdoch's New Corp. But this isn't happening. As the Times reveals, MySpace is making a paltry $6 in advertising revenue per user and the company missed its $1 billion revenue target for the fiscal year that is about to close at the end of the month. MySpace's prodigious eyeballs, then, are not translating into prodigious dollars. Surprise surprise. We are back in late 1999. Back to being on the brink of the meltdown of the Web 2.0 economy -- an economy which isn't really viable because the majority of large brand owners will not invest serious dollars in unmediated user-generated content.
So I wonder if Murdoch still believes that it's MySpace, rather than the record labels, that represents the future of music. The truth is that instead of MySpace or the labels, the future lies in the live music economy, with next generation promotion companies like Clear Channel spin-off LiveNation. And the big news last week was the Rolling Stones' rumored defection from EMI to the illustrious LiveNation stable where they join Madonna, U2 and Jay-Z.
Scoff, scoff. Like Guy Hands, uncle Rupert got it wrong. My advice to him is to stick to predicting the future of things he knows about -- like cable television and newspapers. The economic future of music is the past. It's the live act.


Devon Day Wellbrock – For manufacturers that we have close relationships with, we've been trying to figure out ways to avoid the pass-through of MDF in general. In one instance, partners don't even get access to their MDF at all. There's no pass-through: the funds come directly to MRP. We encourage the right program, submit all the proof of performance — handle it 100%.
Devon Day Wellbrock — Some companies realize they can't manage the complexities of executing an effective MDF program. they want to give their partner choices, but they don't have the bandwidth to deal with those choices, or have the expertise to guide the partner in the right direction. We've been executing for partners for so long that we know what 'good' looks like and how to make a program successful.

In what exposes the double standards of the Indian National Congress, the senior party leader, and advocate, Kapil Sibal appeared for Anil Ambani before the Supreme Court over the failure of Reliance Communications (Rcom) to pay dues worth Rs. 550 crores to Ericsson. This comes at a time when Congress president Rahul Gandhi has been relentlessly insinuating PM Modi of extending an illegitimate benefit to Anil Ambani in connection with the Rafale deal. While the grand old party has been attacking PM Modi over his alleged association with the entrepreneur, one of its senior leaders is representing him in the Supreme Court. This exposes a clear conflict of interest. It seems that Sibal's personal position is at loggerheads with the party's position and especially with the stand taken by Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
Thus, it is amusing that only yesterday he attacked Anil Ambani in a bid to allege wrongdoing in the Rafale deal and today he is set to represent him in the Supreme Court. It is clear that there is a conflict of interest concerning Kapil Sibal. As a politician, he is constrained to attack Anil Ambani over the Rafale deal because his party president, Rahul Gandhi has been adamant on trying to corner the Modi government over the Rafale deal even though the Supreme Court dismissed all PILs that demanded a court-monitored probe into the Rafale deal last year. Therefore, even though he has appeared for Anil Ambani in the Supreme Court, Sibal has to speak up against Anil Ambani at the same time outside the court.
It must be kept in mind that this is not for the first time that such clear hypocrisy has come to light. Even in November last year, it was reported that Kapil Sibal had represented Anil Ambani in a case involving the sale of the assets of his company Reliance Infocomm Ltd. to his brother Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio. It is clear that the conflict of interest regarding Kapil Sibal will blunt the relentless attack that the Congress has been trying to mount on the BJP. It will also leave the grand old party red-faced with some hard time explaining its position. Last year, when the report about Sibal representing Anil Ambani had come to light, Manish Tewari, Congress spokesperson had said, "Well, you need to divorce the lawyer from the politics. Whenever we appear in the court we don't appear as members of the Congress party but as officers of the court." However, this stance of Congress does not appear prudent and cannot be accepted because when it comes to issues concerning national security, there cannot be two different stands.

Showcase to celebrate Aalfs reopening
December 7th, 2011 Jordan Foye Events, Verve comments
In celebration of the renovation and reopening of Aalfs Auditorium in Slagle Hall, assistant professor of theater Rai Genna said President James Abbott asked the theater department to think of a production to hold in it.
"It was at the request of the president for the department to put something on," he said. "Given our time, budget and scheduling issues, we decided that what we could offer was a showcase."
The theater department's End of Term Showcase will be held in Aalfs Auditorium on Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m. Directed by Genna, the showcase's purpose is to exhibit work done in the classroom over the past semester and will feature acting, singing, dancing and design.
Genna said he's excited for the showcase because it's a first for the department.
"We've never done anything like this before," Genna said. "We've never put on a piece in (Aalfs) to my knowledge. We're really compressing our way of doing things to a very short period of time in a foreign space and I'm very interested to see how it all turns out."
Genna said part of the importance of the showcase was to celebrate the reopening of Aalfs Auditorium, but he said the main reason was to show the work the theater department does.
"The public face of the department for the most part is the shows we put on that the audiences come to see, but we do so much more than that," he said. "This is an opportunity for the public to see what we do, what we're teaching in our classes."
Assistant professor of theater Patricia Downey teaches the dance classes which will be featured in the showcase. She said she's always done a similar showcase for her dance classes but this is the first year she's collaborated with other parts of the department.
"It's more complex and there are more elements to be balanced," she said. "The classes have a lot of students in common and we have to be careful in the scheduling of the program that we don't have one student who's going from number to number to number."
Downey said the dances being featured include a clogging number, a swing dance, a jazz number and a waltz which she created and which combines two separate classes. She said she hopes the showcase will generate interest in the dance program.
"We are currently exploring the possibility of reviving the dance minor, and there are still empty spaces
available in dance classes next semester."
Fifth year senior Iah Kinley is currently in two classes participating in the showcase – musical theater styles and the New York showcase class.
"Most of us will be doing dancing, singing and acting," he said.
Kinley said the New York showcase class hadn't yet put together anything concrete for the showcase.
"That process will start more toward next week," he said. "This is "Avenue Q's" tech week. They're struggling to get it done but we are keeping up on our repertoire of music."
Assistant professor of theater Chaya Gordon-Bland teaches the acting classes that are being featured in the showcase and said she's excited to present the ancient Greek-theater style.
"Greek theater is really different than what we typically do around here," Gordon-Bland said. "It's larger than life. I'm excited for the students to have the opportunity to share that work."
Fifth-year senior Ben Kramer and grad student Gabriel Gomez are design students whose work will be part of the showcase.
"Whether it's lighting design, set design or sound design, I feel all of it is there to create the environment of the show, whatever that may be," Kramer said.
Kramer said his full color, quarter-inch scale set design for "Avenue Q" will be on display at the showcase.
"What I would like to get across to people is that "Avenue Q" is this location that is kind of run-down and decrepit," Kramer said. "People are stuck there, but at certain moments that environment becomes beautiful and then the audience can see why the people stay there."
Gomez said his work deals with projections and video editing with some of it on display while the rest will be incorporated into the performances.
Genna said he did not know if the End of Term Showcase would become an annual event.
"It's at the end of the term and it's hard to incorporate another show within the season because we're coming out of one of our bigger shows at the time and (the students) would be going straight into this show as well as preparing for their finals," he said.

As trade and investment soars between the Gulf and Africa, member states of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have been at the forefront of discovering and unlocking new opportunities.
Immediately after the global financial crisis, the Gulf region significantly deepened its economic ties across Africa, resulting in swelling trade and investment flows into the continent. Countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) – Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) – have expanded engagement at varying intensities.
With GCC members also belonging to the OIC, there is a clear and significant pattern of new trade growth emerging with African members of the OIC.
From a macro-perspective, overall trade between the regions has been largely spearheaded by Dubai's desire to be an important international gateway into and out of Africa, and total trade between the regions surged to US$56bn by end-2014, a CAGR of 25% since 2010. It appears a symbiotic partnership between Africa and the GCC is taking shape, with the Gulf opening itself up as a strategic gateway attracting the kind of talent, ideas and capital that will propel the next chapter of Africa's economic growth.
GCC businesses and sovereign wealth funds have ramped-up expansion agendas in Africa. From 2005 to 2014, over $9.3bn worth of foreign direct investment (FDI) have flowed into the continent, while trade has increased from $16bn to $56bn per year.
Meanwhile, African trading companies and multinationals are taking advantage of the Gulf's world-class infrastructure and global reach as a springboard for accessing more distant markets.
Africa's Mara Group and Atlantic Holdings have both set up their global headquarters in the UAE, citing the ease of travel, access to capital and comparably more welcoming visa policies as primary motivators.
Furthermore, geopolitical and economic tensions have arisen within the GCC itself as it responds to new regimes taking power across North Africa, highlighting competing strategic agendas and sharp differences between the bloc and its African neighbours.
The GCC has progressed beyond its historically entrenched ties with North Africa and is now exploring new markets in East Africa and across sub-Sahara, enticed not only by a dynamic continent, but its close geographical proximity.
In addition, the GCC has been proactive in making itself relevant within the broader Asia-Africa nexus. By building cooperation with Asian partners, China in particular has begun embracing the GCC bloc as a crucial hub along its silk road as it advances strategic agendas in Africa.
Indeed, the GCC could be an important hub for facilitating interaction and cooperation between the regions, especially as African economies become more integrated into Asia Pacific's supply chain.
As the GCC increasingly diversifies investment, adapts business models, and seeks out strategic partners across Africa, the overarching cooperation between the regions has become progressively comprehensive and complex.
Trade flows have flourished between the regions, greatly accelerated in the face of slowing Western markets post the 2008-09 global financial crisis. Total trade during the 2010-2014 period between the GCC and Africa grew by 195%, far outpacing lower double-digit trade growth between Africa and other economic blocs. As a result, the GCC's share of Africa's total global trade has nearly doubled from 2.25% in 2010 to 5.31% by 2014.
Across the board, GCC member nations have significantly expanded trade linkages across the continent; however, the UAE accounts for 70% of total inflows and outflows, followed closely by Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, smaller GCC economies have realised double- and triple-digit growth from 2010-2014, with Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar collectively accounting for nearly $5bn in 2014.
Meanwhile, Africa appears to have lost what was a trade surplus in recent years, as 2014 GCC exports into the continent fully eclipsed its imports from Africa. Nevertheless, African exports are increasingly encompassing an ever-widening range of products and commodities as sub-Sahara sales to the GCC continue to ramp-up.
Trade is predictably dominated by oil in certain territories. However, growing populations, urbanisation and the rise of a larger middle class are beginning to translate into demand for a wider array of products and commodities from the Gulf.
Given these trends, Africa's Islamic economy has become a prime destination for Gulf trade and investment.
Within the Gulf-Africa trade corridor, a disproportionately greater level of economic activity among member nations of the OIC has emerged. Serving as the collective voice of the Muslim world, the OIC encompasses all six GCC states, as well as 27 nations within Africa, united by common efforts such as to "strengthen intra-Islamic economic and trade cooperation".
From a global perspective, trade among Africa's non-OIC member states grew faster as compared to those states within the OIC. However, the situation is reversed in the corridor connecting Africa with partners in the Gulf, suggesting economic linkages among OIC members are playing a role in driving trade between the two regions. When looking at the numbers, the contrast is apparent.
Trade between the Gulf and African OIC member states, imports and exports, grew by 206% over the 2010-2014 period to $32bn as compared to trade with non-OIC member states, which grew slower at 182% to $23.3bn. Furthermore, this is on the backdrop of global trade among OIC member states in Africa at lower double-digit growth rates.
Economic progress between Africa and the Gulf is impressive, and with an apparent tilt towards engaging predominantly OIC members in Africa, there seems to be a preference towards the development of economic partnerships that can be traced along the fault lines of Islam.
Following in the footsteps of the UAE, Saudi Arabia's engagement with the continent has been increasingly robust and diverse. The greatest intensity of trade has historically been with Egypt; however, its proportion of Saudi Arabia's total trade with the continent has decreased in recent years from 51% in 2010 to 36% in 2014. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's second largest trading partner, South Africa, a non-member of the OIC, has maintained a steady 13% share of imports and exports.
Across sub-Sahara Africa, newer trade ties between Saudi Arabia and OIC members Mozambique, Côte d'Ivoire and Sierra Leone have developed, while historically entrenched relationships with North Africa and Djibouti continue to deepen.
Unlike the rest of the GCC, Qatar and the Sultanate of Oman have witnessed greater trade growth among nations outside of Africa's OIC community. Oman has been quietly but cogently engaging East Africa in an effort to diversify its economy beyond oil and gas.
While the Sultanate's engagement in Africa is not as robust as other GCC countries, Oman has a historical legacy throughout East Africa that is opening up business opportunities, with many Omanis still maintaining family ties in and around formerly colonised territories stemming from the country's colonial past in the region.
Kenya has become another steadfast partner, seeing massive increases in trade over recent years. Between the 2005-2009 and 2010-2014 periods, total trade with Oman increased from $117m to $682m, which has been driven by Kenyan exports of agri-products and oils and Omani exports of petroleum oils, stones, machine tools, ships and boats.
Although diplomatic relations have been in place for several decades, Kenya first opened its embassy in Muscat in 2011 to boost tourism, with Oman then reciprocating with the opening of an embassy in Mombasa in February 2014.
Qatar has similarly begun making in-roads into the continent with considerable effort and investment, relative to its relatively lower power ranking in the Gulf.
As evident in trade, investment and diplomacy patterns throughout the continent, Qatar's engagement appears less robust among partners within the OIC community as compared to the likes of Saudi Arabia. Nevertheless, Qatar wields disproportionately high influence in the international arena and has certainly begun building clout in Africa.
Qatar has adopted a vigorous geopolitical economic agenda. Heavily dependent on oil and gas, the country's Emir is taking measures towards building a more sustainable future. Africa appears to offer promising potential for improved investment and trade linkages that will play into Qatar's broader vision and has begun making meaningful forays.
Qatar's trade with Africa grew rapidly by 400% from 2009-2010 to reach $623m with North Africa and $591m with sub-Sahara. In the years following, trade stabilised with North Africa, but continued growing forcefully in sub-Saharan Africa, nearly doubling to $1.05bn by 2014 as in-roads into new markets began taking hold.
With the proportion of trade with Egypt and South Africa on the decline from 66% in 2010 to 62% in 2014, entirely new trade activity has sprung up in countries where previously imports and exports were nearly non-existent.
Meanwhile, Qatari investments on the continent have largely targeted opportunities in the service, insurance and especially finance sectors, with the "Qatar National Bank having acquired banks in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia, and set up branches in Mauritania, Sudan and South Sudan, as well as acquired a 23% stake in Ecobank in 2014".
Beyond economic engagement, Qatar has also been proactive on the diplomatic front, playing significant roles in security and conflict resolution in the Horn of Africa, most notably in the mediation of border disputes between Eritrea and Djibouti in 2010 and the Doha Agreement a year later as part of the Darfur peace process.
While relationships between countries within the GCC and Africa are asymmetrical, underlying economic and political ties are growing rapidly and underpinning access to opportunities and a surge of GCC investment alongside imports and exports on both sides.
Africa has benefitted from factors such as greater awareness and familiarity in the Middle East, reduced restrictions on certain industries, and greater linkages through expanding airline routes in its attraction of FDI, as countries in the GCC have attempted to carve out and define their respective roles in being a conduit for improving Africa's reach into the global marketplace.
Middle East investments are on the rise with the UAE ranking fifth in recent years by capital expenditure into Africa globally. Opportunities in Africa continue to appear attractive, particularly as many markets elsewhere remain subdued.
Moving forward, the OIC is likely to play an ever more important role in encouraging cooperation between the GCC and members in Africa, particularly as Islamic influence gains strength across sub-Saharan Africa as Muslim communities and populations are poised to grow rapidly.
As Africa continues to solidify itself as an ever-important component of the world's economy, the continent is wisely open to cooperation with the Gulf. Both sides are harmonising economic ties and facilitating greater awareness building and interaction so that businesses on both sides can build informed, competitive and enduring relationships for the future.
