AbstractThe purpose of this introduction is to map and address some of the conceptual issues that have arisen in the development of this recovery agenda in South Africa, and to provide an analytic framework for holding the multiple elements of the context which this agenda seeks to address in perspective. We recognise there are several generative tools to help us rethink this agenda. While the exposition of the framework unfolds theoretically, its objective is to assist in the debate and in the development of policy for dealing with poverty and inequality in ways that deliberately engage with the complexity of their production and reproduction.

Rice football running back Aston Walter will return to South Main in 2019 after being granted an additional year of eligibility by the NCAA.
In what has to be seen as a sign of good fortune for Rice football as the team heads into 2019, the NCAA has granted running back Aston Walter an additional year of eligibility. The young team will be flush with freshman and sophomore on the two-deep this fall. That makes the retention of a veteran leader who can contribute to the team on and off the field extremely important.
Aston signed with Rice in 2014 his brother Austin Walter. After redshirting his freshman season, Aston saw minimal usage in 2015 — 10 carries for 41 games. He scored his first touchdown in 2015, carrying the ball 23 times for 141 yards, also catching two touchdown passes.
The 2017 season was lost almost entirely. Aston registered a single carry against UTEP before suffering a shoulder injury which sidelined him for the year. He returned to a crowded backfield in 2018, fighting for carries with his brother Austin, Emmanuel Esukpa and later freshman Juma Otoviano.
Aston came in on spot duty throughout the year, picking important third downs and making big plays. As the season progressed, he proved to be one of the most reliable ball carriers on the team. His consistency earned him more touches and he made those touches count.
In his fifth year on campus, Aston saw some of his most productive games of this collegiate career last season. He tallied 72 yards rushing against Louisiana Tech and LSU in consecutive weeks, just the second and third time rushing for more than 50 yards in his career.
He returns to a backfield in 2019 which he'll share with Otoviano and freshman Jawan King, among others.

I've project multiple enclosed curves onto a topo mesh and would like to split them with the mesh so I can apply different materials to my topography (i.e., roads, sidewalks, etc.)
When I try to split rhino triangulates more on the outside of my enclosed curves and then splits it from the mesh but not the part I would like split. Is there a way to get a clean split without using a NURB surface? I have a rigid topo with walls and can't get a NURB surface to accurately represent my topo.
If Rhino isn't able to split the mesh correctly is there a tool like Google Sketch-up's drape command in Rhino?

In direct contrast, respondent contends that each Whiteco factor supports respondent's position that the tanks are inherently permanent structures. Our analysis of the Whiteco factors and the parties' arguments regarding them follow. A. Is the Property Capable of Being Moved, and Has It in Fact Been Moved? Although CITGO has moved tanks in the past, and Alan R. Watson,16 creator of the Watson Air Bag technology, testified as an expert on tank lifting and relocation, respondent maintains that the tanks do not satisfy this Whiteco factor. Respondent argues that the tanks can be moved intact only within the same terminal or onto an adjacent property and that relocating tanks over long distances requires cutting the tanks into pieces. According to respondent, this type of movement is not Whiteco "movement". In Whiteco Indus., Inc. v. Commissioner, supra at 672, we did not provide a definition for the term "movement" but concluded that this factor was "clearly" satisfied because the outdoor advertising signs had in fact been moved. As support for our conclusion, we cited Estate of Morgan v. Commissioner, 52 T.C. 478, 483 (1969), affd. per curiam 448 F.2d 1397 (9th Cir. 16Alan R. Watson is president of A.R.

Will it be Westbrook or McCoy?
Frustration has gotten the best of
Brian Westbrook owners this season, and that frusration could carry in to this week's Eagles match-up with the New York Giants. Westbrook has been a red and blue killer over the course of his career as he has averaged 108.6 total yards per game, and has scored 12 total touchdowns in 11 games against the division rival. This week he may not even see the field as a slew of injuries has him banged up again led by the concussion he suffered last week. Nevertheless, according to the
Philadelphia Inquirer head coach Andy Reid is keeping his star back's status up in the air.
"These things take time, and they're all different, so we'll just see how it works here. As long as he's OK'd and he's cleared, then I think you're OK," Reid said. "These are experts you are talking about that are looking at these things. I know he wants to play. We have to listen to the doctors, both Brian and myself and [trainer] Rick [Burkholder]."
If Westbrook does not play, which is looking like the case here, rookie LeSean McCoy will step in and start for the Eagles, something that he has done before with some success.
"I've been in this situation a couple of weeks ago," said McCoy, who started against Kansas City when Westbrook sat with an ankle sprain. "I kind of have the flow of the offense. . . . It's really not a difference. Even when Brian is playing, we're still rotating quite a bit."
In that game against the Chiefs, McCoy ran the ball 20 times for 84 yards and scored a touchdown, but in his last three games since the rookie runner has averaged just 2.6 yards per carry. What gives?
"I'm not sure man; we haven't really run the ball well lately," McCoy said. "I'm not sure the reason why . . . I think the more we run the ball, in different schemes, [the better it will go]. I think coach, man, has lately been trying to run the ball a little bit, trying to keep [defenses] honest a little bit."
Word is that McCoy has been glued to running back's coach Ted Williams' side in the past few days just to make sure he knows everything he needs to know when his number is called, which may just be when that coin flips come Sunday. Overall, don't expect huge numbers from McCoy, but he should provide enough to be considered as a No. 2 running back in any starting lineup this week.
Young will finally start?
Owner Bud Adams has seen enough. It's time for a change at quarterback and according to the
Nashville Tennessean it's going to start this week against the Jaguars as galloping quarterback Vince Young will take the field as the Titans starter, not Kerry Collins.
"I'm still in Kerry Collins' corner because I don't believe that our record is a reflection of the quarterback play," head coach Jeff Fisher said. "It's a reflection of the team play. I'm still in his corner, but we've decided to go ahead and make this change. As far as the future is concerned, I'm not one of those coaches who's going to have musical chairs at the quarterback position."
Bear down, as here comes the old Titans "Young on the run" offense that left fantasy owners pulling out their hair, especially those who dared to draft any of the Titans receiving options in 2006 and 2007. But that's just the half of it. Now Chris Johnson owners have to worry as to how many carries the inaccurate runner will take from the speed back, and whether or not the former Longhorn can complete a simple two yard screen pass.
For the record, in 35 career games Young has averaged just 141.8 passing yards, has thrown 33 interceptions to 22 touchdowns, and has a lifetime QB rating of 67.8. Yes, he has done some damage with his legs in the past, but his 28 rushing yards per game and 10 touchdowns don't exactly make up for how bad he has been as a signal caller. Overall, don't be surprised if the Titans win this week, but do be surprised if Young performs at a starting quarterback-like level.
Is Daniels of elite status?
Texans tight end Owen Daniels is catching the attention of NFL fans, fantasy owners, and even his teammates this season. Daniels leads all tight ends with 497 receiving yards and has a team-leading five touchdown receptions. And according to
The Canadien Press Daniels' teammates have nicknamed him "Awesome." However, Daniels himself insists that he has put up great numbers because of his awesome offensive teammates around him, like Andre Johnson.
"I'm definitely benefiting from people focusing on Andre because he's obviously a huge threat," Daniels said. "We're (all) beneficiaries of Andre playing so well."
Johnson himself thinks otherwise and knows the former Badger standout is only going to get better.
"I think right now you could easily put him as one of the top tight ends in the NFL," Johnson said. "As time goes along he's only going to get better and better."
So what has been the key to unlocking a career high five end zone trips, which equal the number of times he has crossed the pylon in the last two seasons combined?
"I think it's just been opportunities down there," he said. "It's a little bit more fun when you have a chance to make those plays. Getting in the end zone, winning some games and helping your team out that way and not just being a possession guy and making first downs."
Daniels has made plenty of fantasy owners happy thus far this season, and it doesn't seem like he's going to stop anytime soon, begging the questions: Is he an elite NFL and fantasy tight end? And how long will he be an elite tight end?
"Owen is becoming a big-time player in this league," coach Gary Kubiak said. "He's more consistent in the run game for us than he's ever been. Obviously, y'all know the plays he can make in the pass game. O.D. is a real pro. He's going to do it for a long, long time."
As long as he stays healthy I whole-heartedly agree. Daniels should be a force for a long time, especially if quarterback Matt Schaub continues to stay healthy and put up elite-like numbers.
On the injury front
According to the injury report…….
Falcon running backs
Jason Snelling and
Jerious Norwood were both held out of practice for a second straight day on Friday.
Effect: This means that the Saints defense only has to worry about stopping Michael Turner this week, and if they figure out a way to do that in the first half the Falcons will quickly go to the pass, especially if the Saints jump out to an early lead.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver
Muhsin Muhammad and tight end
Dante Rosario have been ruled out for this week's game against the Cardinals.
Effect: As if the Panthers didn't have enough problems, now they'll be without two of their top targets in the lacking passing game, which ultimately will allow the Cardinals secondary to focus on locking down Steve Smith even more. The worst news for the run-heavy Panthers is the fact that the Cardinals are the top ranked run defense in the NFL.
Indianapolis Colts rookie running back
Donald Brown is listed as doubtful for this week's game against the 49ers with an injured shoulder.
Effect: His most likely absence this week means that Joseph Addai will be used exclusively, which could be huge if the Colts build a big lead early.

Winfield Out, Berrian Questionable, and Favre makes return.
On Sunday afternoon the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers will clash in probably one of the most historic, talked about games in NFL history. And unless you've been living underground since Brett Favre's first pass to himself in 1992 as a member of the green and gold, you should know that No. 4 returning to his sacred passing grounds in rival purple is the prime reason why. However, there is more news than just No. 4. I know, it's crazy.
According to the
Associated Press cornerback Antoine Winfield will not play on Sunday, which is bigger news than most fantasy owners realize. In the first showdown between the Vikings and Packers on Monday night in Week 4 Winfield recorded 10 tackles, deflected two passes, and intercepted an Aaron Rodgers pass; Rodgers' first pick of the year at the time. Most importantly, Winfield held wide receiver Greg Jennings to just three receptions and 31 yards. Without Winfield the Vikings have become exposed, especially in the short passing game, an element of the Packers offense that can be the strongest at times.
On the other side of the ball there is also an injury that does not spell good news for the Vikings. According to the
Minneapolis Star Tribune Wide receiver Bernard Berrian suffered another hamstring injury last week that kept him out of the second half of last week's loss to the Steelers.
"It was very frustrating," he said of being out for the final two quarters. "You don't like to be not out there playing, especially in a game of this magnitude. You don't want to be on the sideline watching it. It's very painful to sit there and watch a loss."
Berrian remains questionable heading in to Sunday, and although he hasn't done much this season to get fantasy owners excited, Berrian was another Viking who had his best outing of the year against the Packers during their Week 4 Monday night clash. In that game the field stretching speed receiver caught six passes for 75 yards and scored one of his two season touchdowns.
With Berrian out of the way and on the sidelines the Packers would then be able to focus on shutting down the Vikings 2009 top wideout Sidney Rice, who ranks seventh among NFL receivers in yards (545), and has been targeted a team high 47 times thus far. Keep a close eye on this situation, and consider starting the Packers defense if Berrian can't go; one less target for Mr. Favre could mean more forced passes.
Finally, I wrap up this bit of news with a few thoughts on No. 4. Why not, right?
Brett Favre returns to the field he produced so many memorable moments on, so he deserves no boos on Sunday. Yes, he has hurt some feelings of Packer fans, but who cares? He's a winning quarterback, and you just don't boo winners for wanting to be winners no matter how much you feel betrayed.
However, I do want to firmly state that of the two quarterbacks that will be taking the field on Sunday afternoon I would much rather have Aaron Rodgers on my side, both in the NFL and fantasy world. He's smarter (two interceptions), has just as strong of an arm, and doesn't have a grey beard. Besides that, he's currently the second best passer in the NFL behind just Peyton Manning, with a QB rating of 110.8.
Let the fireworks rain down on the northern Wisconsin sky!
Good luck. Thanks for reading!

We work 24/7 to keep the rail network running
Running the safest railway in Europe is a team effort. The day-to-day operations and maintenance we carry out to keep Britain moving involves dedicated teams across the country, working collaboratively and ensuring we maintain the best possible service for the millions who rely on the railway, every day.
Our operational function delivers the services that ensure safe performance of the railway, including managing the systems and processes that keep the rail network working: from signalling operators in our regional rail operating centres, to our mobile operations managers and incident response teams that help reopen any part of the network that's blocked, level crossing managers and station customer service teams.
Our operational readiness hub is the national operations centre, and it's organised around our routes to meet the needs of our customers: passengers, passenger service and freight operators and external commercial stakeholders.
Maintenance is the day-to-day upkeep of the network. Our maintenance employees support our operations and project teams by making sure every part of our infrastructure – such as signals and power supplies, or assets such as track and bridges – is maintained and in good working order.
We're responsible for:
- More than 20,000 miles of track across England, Scotland and Wales.
- Almost 6,000 level crossings – with consistently fewer accidents than in countries with a similar number.
- 30,000 bridges and viaducts.
- Around 2,500 stations – including 20 that we run: the biggest and busiest in the country.

Who was whitney houston dating before she died
She listened to the diva's albums nonstop and watched The Bodyguard repeatedly.She finally got to work with her idol in a 1997 made-for-TV movie version of Cinderella in which Houston played the fairy godmother.In his book, Death of the Cheating Man: What Every Woman Must Know About Men Who Stray, released on Valentine's Day, Ray J chronicles how Kardashian left her first husband for him in 2004. I really feel bad for him."If there are any holdouts for Ray J's love, they haven't read the 2006 book Confessions of a Video Vixen.And then there is that infamous sex tape, the subject of endless conspiracy theories. In it, author Karrine Steffans details her passionate relationship with Ray J.With the three-year anniversary of Whitney Houston's death a week away and with her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown in critical condition after an incident this past weekend, Houston's former costar Kevin Costner spoke out about his late friend and the 1992 hit movie that bonded them, Costner received a lot of backlash from cynical studio executives at the time for picking an African-American woman to be romantically involved with his character Frank Farmer.PHOTOS: Costar couples "It just seemed like she was the best person," he said. I couldn't imagine anybody that didn't want to kiss her." PHOTOS: Stars gone too soon Costner famously spoke at Houston's 2012 funeral, addressing her mother Cissy Houston and daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, now 21. 11 marks three years since the famed pop diva passed away at age 48 after being found in the bathtub of her Beverly Hills Hotel.
Of all the details connected with Whitney Houston's final days, this ranks among the most peculiar: she supposedly got into a fight with another woman—over Ray J.
We're told police arrived to the scene within minutes and fire was already there on an unrelated call. County Coroner Ed Winter told our photog at PM that it is too early in the investigation to tell what happened ().
Our sources tell us a member of Whitney's entourage found her in her 4th-floor room at the Beverly Hilton hotel ... When paramedics arrived Houston was found unresponsive.
Our sources say there were no obvious signs of foul play, but BH PD detectives have begun a full investigation. Her album "Whitney" was the first female album to ever debut at #1 on the Billboard Charts. Houston had one child, Bobbi Kristina, with husband Bobby Brown. Sources tell TMZ, Whitney Houston "partied heavily" last night at the Beverly HIlton hotel where she was staying, drinking and chatting loudly with friends in the bar -- but Cissy Houston and Dionne Warwick claim the singer sounded fine just hours before her death.
We're told Bobby Brown is distraught over Whitney's death -- going "in and out of crying fits." His band New Edition tells us, they are "shocked and saddened."Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party -- which Whitney was supposed to open -- is going on as scheduled this evening, though Clive will not be in attendance.

FOR THE CãKES:
- 10 1/2 oz grãnulãted sugãr, (1 1/2 cups)
- 10 1/2 oz cãke flour, (2 2/3 cups)
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp bãking powder
- 3/4 tsp sãlt
- 4 fl oz egg whites, (see Note below)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 TBSP vãnillã extrãct
- 6 oz unsãlted butter, ãt room temperãture
- Gel food coloring, (I used ãmericolor electric purple, regãl purple, sky blue, ãnd soft pink)
FOR THE BUTTERCREãM:
- 6 fl oz pãsteurized liquid egg whites, (3/4 cup)
- 24 oz powdered sugãr, (6 cups)
- ½ tsp sãlt
- 24 oz unsãlted butter, ãt room temperãture
- 2 TBSP vãnillã extrãct
- Gel food coloring, (I used ãmericolor electric purple, regãl purple, sky blue, ãnd soft pink)
TO MãKE THE CãKES:
- Preheãt the oven to 350 F. Line six 4-inch cãke pãns with pãrchment rounds, ãnd sprãy the pãrchment ãnd pãn sides with nonstick cooking sprãy. (Note thãt you cãn mãke these cãkes in different sizes depending on whãt size pãns you hãve. If you mãke lãrger cãkes, just extend the bãking time ãnd wãtch them closely.)
- Combine the sugãr, cãke flour, bãking powder, ãnd sãlt in the bowl of the stãnd mixer fitted with ã pãddle ãttãchment. Mix on low speed for ãbout ã minute to combine the dry ingredients.
- Lightly whisk together the egg whites together with ã quãrter of the milk ãnd the vãnillã extrãct, ãnd set ãside for now.
- ãdd the remãining ¾ cup milk ãnd the softened butter to the lãrge mixing bowl ãnd mix on low speed until the dry ingredients ãre moistened. Turn the mixer to medium speed ãnd mix for ã minute ãnd ã hãlf.
- ãdd the egg white mixture in three bãtches, mixing for 20-30 seconds ãfter eãch ãddition, until you hãve ã smooth bãtter. Scrãpe the bottom ãnd sides of the bowl with ã rubber spãtulã, ãnd give the bãtter ã few more stirs to mãke sure everything is incorporãted. Divide the bãtter into 4 even portions, ãnd color one purple, one blue, ãnd one pink. Leãve one portion white.
- Use ã spoon to scoop spoonfuls of the bãtters ãnd plop them in ã rãndom pãttern in the prepãred cãke pãns. Fill them ãbout hãlfwãy full—eãch pãn should hãve ãbout 7 oz of bãtter. Bãke the cãkes ãt 350 F for 30-35 minutes until the sides just stãrt pulling ãwãy from the pãn, ãnd ã toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleãn.
- Let the cãkes cool on ã wire rãck for 10 minutes, then gently turn them out ãnd let them cool completely. I find it's eãsiest to cut ãnd stãck cãkes thãt hãve been chilled, so if you hãve time, wrãp them with plãstic wrãp ãnd put them in the freezer for ãt leãst 30 minutes until they ãre firm but not frozen ãll the wãy through. If you ãre mãking these in ãdvãnce, they cãn stãy in the freezer for up to severãl weeks. Let them pãrtiãlly defrost, until they ãre firm but not rock-hãrd, before ãssembling.
TO MãKE THE BUTTERCREãM:
- Combine the whites, powdered sugãr, ãnd sãlt in the bowl of ã lãrge stãnd mixer fitted with ã pãddle ãttãchment. Mix everything together on low speed, until the sugãr is moistened ãnd no dry pãtches remãin. Turn off the mixer, scrãpe down the sides ãnd bottom of the bowl with ã spãtulã, then turn the mixer to medium speed. Beãt on medium for 5 minutes.
- ãfter 5 minutes, turn the mixer to medium-low ãnd stãrt ãdding the softened room temperãture butter, 1-2 tãblespoons ãt ã time. Once ãll of the butter is incorporãted, ãdd the vãnillã extrãct ãnd mix it in. Stop the mixer ãnd scrãpe down the bottom ãnd sides once more. Turn the speed to medium ãnd beãt the buttercreãm for 10 minutes. ãt the end, you'll hãve ã frosting with ã wonderfully light ãnd creãmy texture.
TO ãSSEMBLE ãND DECORãTE:
- Plãce the cãkes on smãll cãke cãrdboãrd rounds, ãnd set one on ã cãke turntãble. Use ã shãrp serrãted knife to cut it into 3 lãyers. Spreãd ã lãyer of white buttercreãm between eãch lãyer, ãnd cover the top ãnd sides with ã thin lãyer of frosting. Repeãt with the other cãkes, so they ãre ãll lãyered ãnd covered with ã thin coãt of frosting.
- Divide the remãining buttercreãm into smãller bowls. Leãve some white, ãnd color the rest different shãdes of blue, purple, ãnd pink. You cãn do ãs mãny colors ãs you wãnt, but I like to do ãt leãst 4-5 to give ãll the cãkes ã different look. Fit ã piping bãg with ã lãrge stãr tip – I like to use ã Wilton 2D, but ã 1M would ãlso work.
- To mãke multi-colored flowers, lãy out ã piece of plãstic wrãp ãbout 16 inches long. Spreãd ã rectãngle of frosting on the plãstic wrãp, ãbout 10 inches by 6 inches. Tãke ã second color of frosting ãnd spreãd it on top of the first. If desired, ãdd ã third or even ã fourth color on top. Roll the frosting over itself to mãke ã cylinder. Grãsp the ends of the plãstic wrãp in eãch hãnd, ãnd twirl it quickly so the frosting is burrito-shãped ãnd the ends of the plãstic ãre tightly twisted. Snip off one of the plãstic wrãp "tãils" ãnd insert the frosting cylinder into the piping bãg, snipped-side down.
- Pipe big, messy stãrs ãll over the cãke. You don't ãctãuãlly wãnt them to look like stãrs, so twist ãnd turn the bãg ãs you pipe them to mãke them ã free-form blossom shãpe. Lãyer them on top of eãch other so they don't look too neãt. When you're finished with ã cãke ãnd done with thãt color combinãtion, remove the extrã frosting in the plãstic wrãp, ãnd ãdd ã different cylinder of frosting. (It's ãn eãsy wãy to chãnge colors without chãnging piping bãgs!)
- Repeãt until ãll of the cãkes ãre decorãted. For the best tãste ãnd texture, serve them ãt room temperãture.

Bayer CropScience will simplify the task of choosing an effective cereal fungicide with the pending release of Prosaro 420 SC to the Australian cereal foliar fungicide market.A unique mixture of two active ingredients – tebuconazole and the new Bayer fungicide, prothioconazole – Prosaro is a protective and curative cereal fungicide with systemic activity.
Extensive evaluation of Prosaro has shown it consistently delivers long-lasting control across a broad disease spectrum. With an investment in only one fungicide – Prosaro – growers will be able to control most common foliar diseases they are likely to face, including leaf, stripe and stem rust, septoria nodorum and yellow leaf spot in wheat, as well as net form net blotch, spot form net blotch, powdery mildew, leaf scald and leaf rust in barley.
More than 80 trials throughout Australia have shown that Prosaro performed as well or better than a range of industry standards across a wide range of barley and wheat diseases.The greening effect produced by Prosaro cereal fungicide proved to be a real benefit in trials. The exceptional disease control offered by Prosaro, across a broad spectrum of diseases, maximises the green leaf area retention, resulting in a prolonged growing period for the crop.
This prolonged growing period allows the crop to efficiently utilise available light, water and nutrients and, ultimately, can help crops reach full yield potential.Prosaro is quick and long-lasting and it is excellent against hard-to-control foliar diseases. Its broad activity and reliable disease control offers a good return on investment.
The reliability of Prosaro was highlighted by research looking at green leaf area retention which prolongs the growing period and assists growers in reaching their crop yield potential. Recent trials with Prosaro across Australia specifically evaluated this 'greening effect'. Best responses were achieved at higher label rates, with corresponding yield increases.The recommended application rate will be 150 to 300 mL/ha with the adjuvant Hasten, if required, at 1% (v/v) and with a minimum 60 L/ha water rate. Prosaro also has compatibility with a wide range of herbicides and insecticides

This paper presents the problems related to smelting gray and ductile cast iron. Special attention is paid to the metallurgical quality of cast iron. It depends on the type of furnace, charge materials and the special combination of charge, overheating and holding temperature, melting time, modification and spheroidization method. The evaluation of metallurgical quality has been performed by using derivativethermal analysis (DTA). During the smelting process and secondary metallurgy, the ITACA system was used allowing to obtain information on alloy characteristic temperatures (Tliquidus, TeMin, TeMax, Tsolidus), VPS value, recalescence value, IGQ coefficient, nucleation gauge, porosity etc. The results of investigations and calculations are displayed in the form of graphs and dependencies. It has been shown that the derivative-thermal analysis (DTA) is an effective complement of chemical analysis and it has been found that both the increase in temperature and metal holding time have a negative impact on the metallurgical quality of liquid metal.

Liam Payne has congratulated Harry Styles on his amazing chart success.
The One Direction star has heaped praise on his former bandmate after the 25-year-old singer's second solo album 'Fine Line' topped the US Billboard 200 charts.
Sharing an image of the LP on Instagram, Liam wrote: "Massive congrats H, on becoming the first UK Male artist to debut at No. 1 with your first two albums!
"What an achievement, you must be over the moon."
According to Billboard, the record - which was released on December 13 - enjoyed the biggest week for a pop album by a male singer since 2015, while the collection is already one of the year's best selling LPs.
Harry and Liam, 26, recently reunited for the first time in three years at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball earlier this month, and the latter revealed they chatted about "happiness and all sorts stuff".
He said: "We spoke about a number of things. We hadn't seen each other for three years. Literally, I haven't seen him once and we hadn't spoken or anything.
"So it was good to see him. He was pretty much the same boy that I left him. We spoke about the kids and happiness and all sorts stuff."
And Liam also admitted Harry's recent joke about Zayn Malik - where he pretended to forget their ex-bandmate's name on 'Saturday Night Live' - was "funny".
He quipped: "I love those guys. Niall [Horan], Liam, Louis [Tomlinson] and ... Uh.. Ringo! Yeah, that's it."
Liam later said: "I think it's just a funny joke at the end of the day. Obviously Zayn's circumstances for leaving were his own, it was a different situation for all of us and I suppose we all deal with it in a different way. I thought it was quite funny."

In a result of great development of intelligent automation , machining demand is constantly increasing. so what is machining service?
Machining is a process of removing material through mechanical precision processing. There are two main types of mechanical processing: manual processing and Computerized Numerical Control
Manual processing refers to the method of processing various materials by manually operating mechanical equipment such as milling machines, lathes, drilling machines and sawing machines. Manual processing is suitable for small batches and simple parts production.
Computerized Numerical Control refers to the use of numerically controlled equipment by mechanical workers for processing. These numerically controlled equipment include machining centers, turning and milling centers, wire-EDM equipment, thread cutting machines, and so on. CNC machining is suitable for high-volume and complex-shaped parts.
Dongguan Weimi Hardware Technology Co., Ltd. is a professional machining company. Our team with more than 15 years of machining experience provides customers with comprehensive and high-quality CNC services. We provide services from raw material procurement to processing, surface treatment and packaging. Our customized services include CNC Milling processing, CNC Turning processing, Sheet Metal processing, Stamping processing and so on. Weimi also own a sample and a mass production workshop to meet customers machined needs.
What are the main factors of deformed workpieces? This mistakes might happen due to various machining errors and incorrect operations.
1. Workpiece deformation caused by workpiece clamping
Clamping can easily cause deformation of the workpiece. In order to avoid this it is necessary to select an appropriate clamping point and appropriate force according to the position of the clamping and support point that should be kept as far as possible, so that the clamping force acts on the support and the clamping point is closer to the processing surface. That would help to avoid deformation. The most effective way to solve the clamping deformation is to increase the stiffness of the part. Increased contact area between the workpiece and the fixture helps reducing the deformation of the workpiece during the clamping process.
2. Deformation caused by the material and structure of the workpiece
The size of the deformation is proportional to the shape complexity, aspect ratio and wall thickness. It's also proportional to the stiffness and stability of the material. When designing parts it's important to take into consideration these factors to minimize workpiece deformation. The structure of large parts should be more reasonable. Prior to processing, defects such as hardness and looseness should be strictly controlled to ensure the quality of the blank and reduce deformation of the workpiece.
3. Workpiece deformation caused during machining
During the cutting process, the workpiece might be a subject to cutting force. This is an elastic deformation in the direction of the force. There are few steps to avoid this problem. First of all we can improve the tool. That can reduce the friction between the tool and the workpiece. Next step is to improve the cooling capacity of the workpiece during the cutting process, and reduce the internal pressure.
After the workpiece is machined our company always carry on a strict inspection. Please see the main testing equipment that we use.
1. Dental gauge:It is mainly used to inspect the quality of the thread. It is strictly made according to national standards and has external and internal threads.

I Wanna Be Adored/She Bangs The Drums/Waterfall/Don't Stop/Bye Bye Badman/Elizabeth My Dear/(Song For My) Sugar Spun Sister/Made Of Stone/Shoot You Down/This Is The One /I Am The Resurrection/Fools Gold
The Stone Roses are the band usually credited with being the leaders of the late eighties/early nineties "Madchester" scene, which merged traditional guitar rock with dance and rave music rhythms. As was usual with most of the bands from this genre, there was a sixties influence, particularly The Beatles and also psychedelic rock. This was a genre that emerged for the next generation on from me, so I am someone who looked at it quite dispassionately. I was certainly never a fan of dance music or "clubbing", that was after my time, so what I like about this album is that it far more of a rock album than a dance one. The sound is based a lot more around buzzy guitar riffs than programmed loops. The actually isn't much "dance" on here at all, compared to The Happy Mondays, for example.
The Stones Roses had an arrogance and confidence about them, similar to that of Oasis, but far less "in-your-face" and more cool and detached. They were a somewhat faceless group (comparatively), although singer Ian Brown had that Gallagher brothers attitude about him. The rear cover is a black and white image of the band looking very much like an updated version of Revolver-era Beatles.
I Wanna Be Adored is a swirling pyschedelic-ish number, full of that afore-mentioned guitar sound. She Bangs The Drums is a very jangly, poppy and catchy upbeat song. Its vocal is very typical the sound of this genre. Impossible to describe, but instantly recognisable, in the same way that a new romantic, punk or post punk vocal was. Some of the riffs are very like those used by The Jam ten years earlier.
Waterfall is very appealing in its trebly but rhythmic harmoniously sixties way. The guitar/bass/drum interplay half way through is very seventies rock. It even uses a bit of funky wah-wah guitar. This is a good track. The drum are "proper" drums but they manage to convey a "dance"-ish vibe without the need to programme anything. Acid house was a neo-psychedelic, but musically artificial thing, but The Stone Roses managed to invoke its drugged-up bliss using conventional rock instruments. As the psychedelic bands of the late sixties did.
Don't Stop is a feedback and sound effect-drenched piece of psychedelia. This is a very 1966-67 Beatles-influenced number. The "from the top" spoken invocation is pure Lennon. It is the only track with a real dance vibe to it. Bye Bye Badman is another very late sixties piece of upbeat but dreamy, wistful rock. Although there are contemporary sounds used throughout the album and there is a future-looking feel about the cockiness of the new "scene", it is also a totally retrospective album. Elizabeth My Dear is a medieval-influenced, melodically acoustic condemnation of The Queen, quite for what purpose it serves is unclear. It doesn't fit the vibe of the album at all.
The good old sixties feel is well and truly back on the Pretty Flamingo riff-driven (Song For My) Sugar Spun Sister. The vocal harmonies, while retro, are also very typical of their era.
Made Of Stone is a great song, with a post punk feeling about it, albeit an upbeat one, and some excellent drums. Shoot You Down is a delicious, laid-back George Harrison-esque song, both musically and vocally. Its Beatles influences are so manifold there is almost little point in detailing them.
This Is The One is also riffily impressive, with a great, dramatic intro, reminiscent of Queen, would you believe, in its crashing cymbals. Singer Ian Brown's vocal is quietly vibrant, building the song up into the anthem it becomes. This is excellent stuff, sort of The Stone Roses' Baba O'Reilly.
I Am The Resurrection is an extended piece of Lennon-esque arrogance, backed with superb guitar and drums. Once again, the instrumental interplay in the middle is pure, great rock music of which Led Zeppelin would have been proud. Fools Gold is an even longer track, clocking in at over nine minutes. It directly utilises the funky riff from James Brown's Funky Drummer. It gets into an insistent funk/rock groove, like something by Brown or Fela Kuti, interjected with fuzzy guitar stabs. It keeps in its rhythm, backed by some intoxicating rhythm and never gets tiresome. Stuff like this is really very impressive for a debut album.
This was one of the first of the "Madchester" albums that spawned Brit Pop, along with the first two Oasis albums, for me, it is undeniably the best. It is not an album constructed from tape loops and programmed drums, it is a rock album of high quality.
Breaking Into Heaven/Driving South/Ten Storey Love Song/Daybreak/Your Star Will Shine/Straight To The Man/Begging You/Tightrope/Good Times/Tears/How Do You Sleep/Love Spreads/The Foz
This second album was much-anticipated, much-delayed and eventually much-criticised. It was received by many as underwhelming. Coming from a generation before this genre, I was not a "proper" Stone Roses fan, so I just write about it as I hear it and I hear a reasonable album. The influence on the album, particularly on guitarist John Squire is from Led Zeppelin, as opposed to contemporary dance music, which is fine by me. This is far more of a rock album, and again, that totally suits me. It is a sprawling album, though, lasting sixty-six minutes. Listening to it all in one sitting is a bit of an ordeal.
Breaking Into Heaven begins with two minutes of ambient, watery noises before an insistent drum rhythm builds up, joined by some mysterious, scratchy guitar. It goes all Led Zeppelin-esque at one point around four minutes in and then a powerful drum beat and bass arrive and finally Ian Brown's understated vocals on five minutes. It could have lost a couple of minutes on the extended intro but you can't deny that it builds up an atmosphere as the song rumbles on infectiously. The bass is rumblingly sublime on here too. Driving South has a heavy blues rock vibe but also a Happy Mondays-esque pounding Madchester one. It also has shades of Led Zeppelin in the Physical Graffiti era. I really like it. Ten Storey Love Song has an infectious drum intro over some psychedelic guitar/Eastern influence before it breaks out into an anthemic grind. It is a real grower of a track and it segues neatly into the rhythmic groove of Daybreak, a track enhanced by some seriously funky bass. The bass/drum/organ interplay in the song's last third is superb.
Your Star Will Shine is a shorter, acoustic-driven, psychedelic, hippy-ish number. It sounds straight out of 1968. Straight To The Man is an appealing slice of funky, bassy contemporary rock, a really good track. Begging You is the most "dance" track on the album thus far, full of those early-mid nineties frenetic drum sounds merged with buzzy, industrial guitars. Tightrope is an acoustic, vaguely Oasis-ish number. Good Times is a muscular, solid and dense rocker full of searing riffage.
Tears uses the old Led Zeppelin trick of half acoustic/half rock on a slow burner of a song that bursts into life at 2:20. If it wasn't for Ian Brown's harsher, gruffer voice, you could really imagine this being Led Zeppelin, even the drumming is Bonham-esque. It also contains a Flamenco guitar solo, which is a Zep-style innovation. The otherwise attractively bassy and melodic How Do You Sleep begins with the line "I've seen your severed head in a banquet for the dead..." - very Alice Cooper. Musically, though, it is a tuneful Byrds-ish number with nice vocals and guitar. Love Spreads is a powerful, guitar-driven track with a fetching vocal/percussion break half way through that is almost jazzy and then there is the "hidden" one, The Foz. Basically, it is an indulgent, instrumental waste of time.
The album was nowhere near the disaster many claimed it to be, but, for me, it is far too long and it one I dip into every now and again only. Having said that, I've played it three times through over the last couple of days and it gets better with each listen, becoming quite addictive, so there you go.
