The Effect of Ingot Processing on Fatigue Properties of 7475-T6 Plates
High strength-density ratios have made the 7XXX aluminum alloys extremely attractive for use in aircraft structures. Despite this superior property, limited corrosion, fatigue, and fracture resistance has restricted their commercial usage in maximum-strength tempers.
Improvements in fracture toughness at high strength levels have been shown by recently developed alloys such as 7175, 7475, and 7050, largely as a result of increased alloy purity and specialized processing controls. The application of intermediate thermo mechanical treatments (ITMT) to some 7XXX alloys has also shown promise for increasing fracture toughness levels.
The hot-rolled material exhibited the best overall combination of fatigue properties for the maximum strength temper. The predominantly unrecrystallized microstructure of hot-rolled 7475-T6 promoted a high-energy-absorbing transgranular fracture mode and led to superior resistance to fatigue crack propagation and unstable fracture. The more recrystallized intermediate thermo mechanical treated (ITMT) materials experienced a higher degree of intergranular fracture which contributed to higher fatigue crack growth rates and lower fracture toughness values.
The low cycle fatigue and high cycle fatigue lives of the experimental materials were relatively unaffected by changes in microstructure produced by ingot processing. However, quantitative metallography showed that the crack initiation resistance of ITMT-7475-T6 was somewhat improved over that of the hot-rolled material. Crack initiation at slip bands, which occurred extensively in the unrecrystallized hot-rolled microstructure, was severely limited by the fine grain size and random texture produced by ITMT processing.
High strength-density ratios have made the 7XXX aluminum alloys extremely attractive for use in aircraft structures. Despite this superior property, limited corrosion, fatigue, and fracture resistance has restricted their commercial usage in maximum-strength tempers. The problem of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and exfoliation corrosion resistance has been greatly alleviated by the introduction of the T73 and T76 tempers. Improvements in fracture toughness at high strength levels have been shown by recently developed alloys such as 7175, 7475, and 7050, largely as a result of increased alloy purity and specialized processing controls.
The application of intermediate thermo mechanical treatments (ITMT) to some 7XXX alloys has also shown promise for increasing fracture toughness levels. These specialized ingot processing techniques utilize low working temperatures to introduce a high degree of strain energy into the ingot and subsequent recrystallization results. In a relatively fine equlaxed grain structure, ITMT materials can also be produced by hot-rolling as-recrystallized structures to produce fine, elongated grain structures. These ITMT microstructures have been shown to provide higher levels of ductility, toughness, and short transverse SCC resistance in 7075-T6 compared to the largely unrecrystallized lamellar structure of conventionally processed hot-rolled plate.
Based on increased levels of toughness and SCC resistance, the new 7XXX alloys have made possible improvements in the overall reliability of structural aircraft components. However, further increases in component performance will necessarily be based on higher levels of fatigue resistance.
Optical metallography disclosed the presence of Al-Fe-Si constituent particles aligned roughly in the rolling direction of the plate. These particles ranged in size from approximately 5 to 20 μm and were probably Al2Cu, Mg2Si, or FeAl6, resulting from the presence of the iron and silicon.
Precipitation of Al2CuMg occurred in 7050 during slow cooling to the temperature used for ITMT processing. However, the lower copper content of 7475 compared to 7050 and a higher homogenization treatment effectively prevented the occurrence of Al2CuMg as a major constituent phase.
Monotonic Properties and Fracture Toughness
The monotonic fracture surfaces are helpful in explaining the effect of microstructure on the ductility and fracture properties of 7475. The ductility of 7475-T6 AR is improved over that of 7475-T6 HR despite the occurrence of the marked intergranular fracture observed for 7475-T6AR. By contrast, the HR variant exhibits a predominantly ductile fracture appearance.
Brittle fracture would be expected to cause a serious loss of ductility in the fine-grained AR material. However, it appears that the reduced grain size of 7475-T6 AR has overcome the embrittling effect of intergranular fracture, probably by increasing the macroscopic homogeneity of deformation. Thus, homogeneous deformation compensates for the detrimental effect of intergranular fracture and contributes to the superior-ductility of the 7475-T6 ITMT materials. It should be noted that the positive effects of ITMT on ductility are probably dependent on the type.
From the study on tensile deformation and fracture in these age-hardened materials, it is evident that two opposing factors must be balanced in order to attain the optimum combination of properties. The macroscopic homogeneity of deformation (on a grain-size scale) must be maintained so that localized fracture is delayed and ductility enhanced. This is favored by fine, recrystallized structures, e.g., 7475-T6 AR.
Neglecting the residual stress effects observed during early portions of the LCF tests, 7475-T6 samples showed extensive cyclic hardening during strain-controlled fatigue. In order to obtain a quantitative assessment of low cycle fatigue (LCF) crack initiation resistance for the 7475-T6 materials, a detailed analysis was made of the surfaces of the fatigued specimens. Consequently, it is concluded that the AR microstructure offers superior resistance to LCF crack initiation compared to the unrecrystallized grain structure of 7475-T6 HR.
7475-T6 UK exhibited the best resistance to fatigue crack growth, i.e., slowest fatigue crack propagation (FCP) rates, over the range of AK studied. 7475-T6 AK+HR showed slightly superior FCP resistance compared to 7475-T6 AR. It is apparent from a correlation of KCP fracture appearance and observed da/dN value, that the ductile, featureless fracture of 7475-T6 HR promotes the best resistance to fatigue crack growth.
Recently, several workers have sought to develop predictive relationships for fatigue crack growth resistance based on measurable LCF and microstructural parameters. Due to the constraint of surrounding material, a finite volume of material at the crack tip undergoes a condition of strain-controlled cycling. Damage is accumulating in this region.
This relationship has been applied to the 7475-T6 fatigue data obtained in the present investigation. Since the microstructure of 7475-T6 contains predominantly shearable precipitates, app value of one-half the average grain length in the rolling direction was chosen. It may have seemed possible to use the subgrain size for this parameter. However, it was shown previously that the texture of the hot-rolled materials made the subgrain boundaries ineffectual barriers to fatigue deformation. Other research has supported this contention for aluminum alloys containing shareable precipitates.
Parameters such as dispersion spacing and distribution, subgrain size, degree of recrystallization and texture could have led to some variability in this respect. It is important to note that, even though quantitative agreement with observed FCP rates was not always obtained, the relative positions of the data were correctly predicted from LCF and microstructural parameters.
The unrecrystallized microstructure of hot-rolled 7475-T6 exhibited the best overall combination of properties of the materials studied. For applications where total fatigue performance must be considered (i.e., resistance to crack initiation, crack growth, and unstable fracture), the HR structure should be chosen in preference to that of more fully recrystallized ITHT materials for the T6 temper.
Total LCF and HCF lives of the experimental materials were relatively unaffected by changes in microstructure produced by ingot processing. Some slight improvement in LCF life of 7475-T6 AR at low strain amplitudes was indicated.
7475-T6 HR exhibited the best FCL resistance of the materials studied. This improvement was attributed to the promotion of a high-energy absorbing transgranular type of fracture by subgrains in the unrecrystallized material. High-angle grain boundaries in 7475-T6 AR provided for a lower-energy intergranular fracture mode.
Improved homogeneity of deformation due to the fine grain size led to ductility improvements in 7475-T6 AR compared to the hot-rolled materials.
The occurrence of low-energy intergranular fracture in 7475-T6 AR produced low fracture toughness values compared to the unrecrystallized or partially recrystallized variants of the alloy.
An equation based on LCF and microstructural parameters proposed by Chakrabortty correctly predicted the relative order of FCP resistance for the three variants of the 7475-T6 alloy.

Fact check: Latina workers make 54 cents for each $1 white males make
Politics // PolitiFact
Examining a U.S. Senator's claim on Dec. 8, Latina Equal Pay Day.
D.L. Davis, PolitiFact
Workers at a mushroom farm in Texas weigh and send containers of white mushrooms on to be packaged.
Bob Owen /San Antonio Express-News
The claim: "Latina workers make 54 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. It's past time that Latina workers are given equal pay for equal work." — U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin
Baldwin, a Wisconsin Democrat, made the claim on Dec. 8, Latina Equal Pay Day, referring to to data compiled by Equal Rights Advocates, a nonprofit organization founded in 1974 that focuses on women's rights and "gender justice."
Politifact rating: True. This year, for Latinas, the pay gap indeed was 54 cents on the dollar.
The averages were based on median earnings for full- and part-time workers. The analysis, according to the advocates, was based on 2021 American Community Survey data, compiled by the Census Bureau.
"For the first time, these calculations (54 cents) include migrant and seasonal workers who tirelessly perform the agricultural duties that put food on our tables," according to a statement on the equal pay advocates site. "Regardless of the type of job, the place of employment, or the level of education, the data is clear — there is a wage gap impacting women workers at every level."
On average, women are paid 83 cents per $1, and the "equal pay" date is March 15 of the following year, according to an opinion piece that ran in USA Today by U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Chair Charlotte A. Burrows.

Meanwhile, the AAUW found these breakdowns for other groups:
Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Women's Equal Pay Day is May 3. Women in this group are paid 75 cents for every dollar paid to white men.
Black Women's Equal Pay Day is Sept. 21. Black women are paid 58 cents for every dollar paid to white men.
Native Women's Equal Pay Day is Nov. 30. Native women are paid 51 cents for every dollar paid to white men.
A similar analysis by the National Women's Law Center mirrored the data on Latina wage gaps.
"In 2021, the most recent data available, Latinas working full time, year round were typically paid just 57 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men.This gap in pay typically amounts to a loss of $2,477 every month, $29,724 every year, and $1,188,960 over a 40-year career," the Law Center said.
According to the Law Center, when part-time and part-year workers are included in the comparison, Latinas were typically paid 54 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men in 2021.
According to the Law Center, the wage gap varies widely, and women of many Latina communities in the U.S. experience even larger gaps.
About Politifact
PolitiFact is a fact-checking project to help you sort out fact from fiction in politics. Truth-O-Meter ratings are determined by a panel of three editors. The burden of proof is on the speaker, and PolitiFact rates statements based on the information known at the time the statement is made.
"For example, Honduran women make 44 cents, Guatemalan women make 47 cents, and Salvadoran women make 49 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men," the Law Center said.
There is one factor that is important to keep in mind.
As PolitiFact National, which has reviewed numerous pay-gap claims over the years, has noted: "a speaker's choice of words can significantly affect whether their point about the gender pay gap is right or wrong."
Our national colleagues point out that women on average certainly do make less than men.
However, the government data isn't based on men and women doing the same jobs. Rather, it's an average that widens or closes by factors such as race, job type and age. Research suggests women are overrepresented in jobs that tend to pay less, for a variety of reasons.
In Wisconsin, Christine Neumann-Ortiz, executive director of Voces de la Frontera, said Latina women are often more vulnerable to exploitation because of their immigration status and the fear of deportation and the impact on their families.
"Latina women work at the intersection of workplace discrimination, as women, Latinas, and some as immigrants," Neumann-Ortiz said in an email to PolitiFact Wisconsin.
She noted that Latinas are concentrated in low-wage industries like service; domestic work; child care and home health care; and agriculture.
"The pandemic has made those inequalities greater because, in general, Latinas have less access to paid sick days or health care and carry a greater responsibility for child care and elder care that is hard when employers are not flexible," Neumann-Ortiz said.

HomeDr. Rochelle Walensky, new head of CDC, got her start at Jewish summer camp
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, new head of CDC, got her start at Jewish summer camp

Dr. Kenneth Freedberg was standing at his wife's bedside in a Boston hospital's intensive care unit when an unexpected visitor entered: Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
"We were there for no more than 45 minutes when Rochelle walks in," said Freedberg, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
"She didn't work there," he said, recalling his friend Walensky's visit after his wife had suddenly taken ill 10 years ago. "She is always there for people she is committed to, and she is committed to a lot of people."
As the newly-appointed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Walensky's list of commitments has grown exponentially, a task friends and family of the Newton, Massachusetts resident agree she is uniquely prepared to handle.
Walensky is "a tireless champion of the core Jewish value of pikuach nefesh, saving life," said Rabbi Michelle Robinson of Temple Emanuel in Newton, a Conservative congregation where Walensky and her family are members.
An influential scholar and clinician, Walensky had been Chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. This alone is a colossal accomplishment. She was only the third head of the division in its 65-year-history at MGH, which insiders like to say stands for "Man's Greatest Hospital." (It was recognized as the #1 hospital in America by U.S. News & World Report in 2015 and in 2019 it was #2).
Now her job description includes leading the CDC's response to the pandemic, improving the nation's public health system, addressing vast health inequities and tackling collateral damage from the coronavirus in areas like suicide and substance use disorder.

Dr. Rochelle Walensky with President Joe Biden
"She may be at the CDC now, but we like to say she got her start at Camp Yavneh." said Bil Zarch, executive director of Camp Yavneh, a Jewish overnight camp in New Hampshire where for many summers Walensky and her physician husband spent a week volunteering as camp doctors while their three sons were campers.
Actually, Walensky got her start at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, where she received her MD, followed by a Master of Public Health degree from the Harvard School of Public Health.
Boston has remained her home, and Temple Emanuel is her "spiritual home." It was so supportive of her during the time MGH was deluged by COVID-19 patients that she'd sometimes come home on a Friday night to find a challah delivered to her house.
"There have been times when an order from the Butcherie has just shown up," she said, referring to a local kosher market in a talk she gave about her career to the Temple's Sisterhood not long before she was tapped for the CDC job.
She also spoke about how she's been mesmerized by the field of infectious disease since her first year of medical school in 1991, the year basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson announced he had HIV. Back in 1995, during her first year of training after medical school, Baltimore had a lot of injection drug users and there wasn't much that could be done for them. "We pronounced a lot of people dead of AIDS," she said.
Yet that same year the first antiretroviral cocktail was approved by the FDA. "It was remarkable," she said in her talk. "For the first time ever, we could tell people, 'you might not die of this.'"
She carried this passion, optimism and conviction about the power of science back to Boston where her pioneering research with colleagues helped advance the national and global response to HIV/AIDS. Much of her work has been policy-oriented – using mathematical models, for example, to study how to best implement limited resources in HIV testing. Her work helped to change U.S. guidelines to promote more HIV testing.
When COVID-19 swept the country, she was ready for it, leading her hospital's response to the pandemic, and authoring or co-authoring a slew of pandemic-related publications. (Her CV runs to 45 pages.) She served on Governor Charlie Baker's Advisory Board for COVID-19. She appeared on CNN several times a week as a medical analyst and commentator.
Throughout all this, she told the Forward, she's been guided by her belief that "science will lead us out of the pandemic."
And Judaism has been her support. She told the Forward: "I'm motivated by the Jewish teachings of tikkun olam – literally 'repair the world.'" "I have worked hard to teach this to my children –change for good, give to others and act socially and responsibly to make the world a better place. Tikkun Olam for me has been giving at the individual patient level – not to judge, not to react, but to give, to heal and to repair."
Now she's charged with healing and repairing at the federal level. She told the Forward about some of the multiple challenges she's facing: "We must vaccinate hundreds of millions of people. We must get the public to wear a mask, practice social distancing, and avoid crowds and poorly-ventilated areas. We must improve our public health system to detect threats." Still, she said, she is hopeful. "CDC science is the gold standard for our nation's public health."
Dr. Rochelle Walensky
Walensky's former MGH colleagues are thrilled for her and not surprised she got the job. Dr. Stephen Calderwood — her mentor at MGH and the previous chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases – described her as highly organized and very caring, deeply committed to fixing things that are wrong in the world, and an excellent motivator. When COVID-19 struck and the hospital at one point had more than 350 COVID-19 patients, with 167 in ICU and most of them on ventilators, she found a way to support her staff with frequent Zoom meetings "for people to just share. What are your stresses? How is this impacting your family, your children?"
"She's very human and very humble," said Dr. Ingrid Bassett, Walensky's first research mentee who has known her for nearly 20 years. "She'll share in the same conversation that she's testifying before Congress and having to pack up her kids for overnight camp."
"She is someone who lives the essence of Judaism," said Harvard Medical School's Freedberg.
Her husband Loren Walensky is a physician at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Boston Children's Hospital. The two met in medical school and have two sons in college, and one in high school.
"She has always been guided by, 'What can I do today to help other people?'" her husband said. As a physician, her instinct is to determine "what do we need to do to make it better, and who will help me make a difference?"
"I've been watching her for 30 years," he continued. "She views the mitzvah of Tikkun Olam as a guiding light in her career. This – her work at CDC – is that on a grand scale. There is lots of healing that needs to be done here."

WHITE FANG.
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1906. 4 pp undated ads. Original light blue-grey cloth pictorially decorated in white and black.
First Published Edition of London's famous tale about a savage half-wolf/half-dog in the Yukon who becomes domesticated -- a complementary volume to THE CALL OF THE WILD (1903), which followed a dog going in the opposite direction. Though not mentioned on the title page, the volume includes eight color plates by Charles Livingston Bull.
Jack wrote this book at the end of a time of confusion, when he was torn between his ex-wife and daughters, his artist friends (George Sterling and "The Crowd") who were forming a colony in Carmel, and Charmian Kittredge. Ultimately he chose Charmian, Glen Ellen, and the hills of Sonoma.
Now he was emerging from the wild back to domesticity through his love of Charmian. Within the four years of his revolt and reassessment of himself, he had written three of his major books -- the reversion to solitude in THE CALL OF THE WILD, the struggle between the brute ego and social sentiment in THE SEA-WOLF, and the dubious acceptance of domesticity in WHITE FANG. He had survived his time of despair... [Sinclair]
This copy has a cancel title leaf on laid paper (other copies have a cancel leaf on wove paper, and still others have an integral title leaf on laid paper). Although some (e.g. Woodbridge) have surmised that the integral leaf might have come first, Blanck deduces (since the leaves are otherwise identical, with no corrections) that all title pages were replaced -- with a cancel leaf for those copies already bound, and with an integral leaf in those not yet bound. In any event, this is a fine copy with scarcely any soil or wear (Christmas 1909 signature on the front free endpaper); the white pigment on the front cover remains in place, the spine gilt remains bright, and the pictorial endpapers remain intact.

Philadelphia's schools superintendent lays out a "call to action"
by Kristen A. Graham, Inquirer Staff Writer, Posted: January 7, 2013
William R. Hite Jr. says his Phila. school plan is workable and revenue-neutral. (Tom Gralish / Staff Photographer)
It is William R. Hite Jr.'s "call to action," a 25-page document that maps out strategy for the future of the Philadelphia School District.
And, despite the school system's brutal budget picture - a projected $1 billion deficit over five years, preparing to close one in six schools - Hite's blueprint, just released, is ambitious.
N.J. school drug-abuse prevention group in conflict with national D.A.R.E. program
He wants to create a virtual school to compete with cyber charter schools that now take district students. He wants to "professionalize teaching," in Philadelphia, rework outdated graduation policies, improve student nutrition, boost the number of students who score well on the SAT and Advanced Placement exams, and increase the percentage of graduates who earn college degrees within six years.
He aims to fix outdated business practices "that put the whole district at risk," and to insist on better customer service across the system, no small feat in a large bureaucracy historically slow to embrace change.
Yet, Hite knows he lacks the infrastructure to make the plan work.
And he's aware he can't spend money the system doesn't have, as was previous district practice. This plan, he said, is revenue-neutral and still relies on the 37 school closings announced last month and a five-year financial plan that demands hundreds of millions in labor concessions and other savings.
What he didn't want was to issue a fiat, a laundry list of lofty goals with no way to implement them, he said in an interview. Still, the plan has no time table, and the actions it calls for do not come with a pricetag or priority order.
And he didn't mean for his "Action Plan v1.0" - the title is meant to signal it is a working document subject to change - to be the final word on his superintendency, which began more than three months ago.
"Naturally, we will have a set of metrics that are very rigorous and ambitious," Hite said. "This gives us something to work toward."
Two big ideas - Hite calls them his "anchor goals" - drive the plan: improving academics and establishing financial stability. Under those are six strategies, with actions for each.
The six strategies focus on ensuring financial stability; improving student outcomes; building a "system of excellent schools;" acknowledging, recruiting, and keeping top talent; becoming a "family-centered" organization; and becoming a more accountable system.
On the revenue side, the only mention of new money - other than the savings built into the five-year plan - is a call to "continuously seek additional resources from public and private sources." A coalition of the district's teachers' union and community groups recently released its own report criticizing the district for failing to fight for more state revenue.
Hite said the district's lax financial controls put it at risk. For instance, it has no "position control system," meaning employees can be hired with no way to pay them.
"That's wrought with the ability for mismanagement," Hite said. "We could be paying more individuals than we have budgeted for."
There's no "asset management system," no central way to keep track of goods the district buys. Textbooks could be bought at one school and sit lost in a closet somewhere.
Grants need to be managed better, too, he said. In the past, some federal grant money has had to be returned because it was not spent by the end of the year.
"We should never be in a position where we are returning money for any reason," Hite said.
Most of the plan, however, deals with the main business of the district: how it educates students.
Hite wants more students reading by third grade, more eighth graders earning a B in algebra, more ninth graders earning a C or better in geometry and a B or better in English. (Those grades correlate to a higher likelihood of future success.)
To get more students to high school graduation - 60 percent currently finish in four years - Hite wants to use early-warning systems that are now in effect in some cases but not universally. Research shows students likely to drop out demonstrate problems with grades, behavior, and punctuality by sixth grade.
There should be more seats in pre-kindergarten programs, a stronger literacy curriculum, more seats in "relevant and high-quality" vocational programs, and more innovation, especially in high schools.
That will start with a district-run virtual school to open in the fall, an acknowledgment that district students are flocking to cyber charter schools, whose quality has been spotty.
"We think we can do this work better and provide a more comprehensive experience for students, and actually compete with individuals who are taking students from us," Hite said.
The money for the virtual school will come from the $19 million already set aside in the 2014 budget for new, high-quality seats.
There will also be more "blended learning" opportunities - a combination of computer and in-class instruction - at the high school level, but that likely won't happen until the following school year.
Colleges and universities will also play a bigger role in city schools, Hite said.
As for safety, Hite said that in the last school year, there were 4,059 violent incidents citywide and more than 45,000 suspensions. "[W]e have yet to ensure all students feel safe and welcomed every day in every school," the plan said. That echoes the findings of "Assault on Learning," an Inquirer investigative series that found widespread violence in city schools.
The way to combat that, Hite says, is "holistic climate and culture programs" such as peer mediation and restorative practices, used sporadically in the district now but never successfully replicated citywide.
Turning around failing schools, either internally or as district schools, will remain part of the system's game plan, but Hite also emphasized that the district needs to better manage charter schools, whose performance the action plan points out "closely mirrors that of district-managed schools."
About 30 percent of all city students attend 84 city charter schools, and the district's charter office is bare-bones.
Hite wants teachers to spend more time collaborating and principals to spend more time being instructional leaders. Teacher training must improve and be centered in the classroom, he said.
He highlighted testing integrity, a hot-button issue as dozens of city schools remain under investigation for alleged cheating on state tests. The plan calls for tighter controls, "the appropriate action taken against offenders, and aligning system incentives more appropriately."
And he wants to introduce a "change management program" - in essence, a way to articulate "here's what we're going to expect from everyone in terms of their behavior around this one thing."
An example of that, Hite said, is a system used in his former district in Prince George's County, Md. Staffers were directed to take attendance every day, in every class, a simple enough concept, but a rule that many ignored.
So officials started monitoring who did not take attendance and asked them why they hadn't. Staff behavior changed.
"We won't know how we can address student absenteeism if we don't know who's absent," Hite said.
That could come into play as the district addresses customer service. Hite says he wants a real focus on parents and families rather than on "the adults who work in the system."
"In some respects, you have to change behaviors," he said. "The behaviors could be how we greet individuals: 'How are you today? How may I help you?' as opposed to 'What do you want and why are you bothering me?' "
From academics to intangibles, the plan calls for massive changes. But, as Deputy Superintendent Paul Kihn wrote in his introduction to the document, sea changes in education mean the district must up its game.
"The era of unaccounable, publically funded district monopolies," Kihn wrote, "has ended."

The Hidalgo County Republican Party will not be nominating a candidate to place on November's ballot for 93rd District Court judge, essentially guaranteeing victory to Democrat Fernando Mancias.
The county GOP closed its application period for potential nominees Aug. 20, and party chairwoman Adrienne Peña-Garza confirmed Thursday the party received no applications during the party's month-long application period.
Both county political parties have until Aug. 28 to select a candidate for the ballot, according to the Texas Secretary of State Elections Division, after the seat became vacant upon the April resignation of ex-District Judge Rodolfo "Rudy" Delgado, a Democrat.
Delgado stepped down after being indicted on multiple federal bribery charges.
Democratic Party precinct chairs nominated Mancias, a former district judge, to represent their party in late June, and no independent candidates filed for the seat and no one submitted their name as a write-in-candidate, confirmed Secretary of State Communications Director Sam Taylor.
Given that a candidate must be a resident of Hidalgo County, it would be highly unlikely for the Republican Party of Texas to nominate a replacement by the state deadline, which is Aug. 29. The state party is allowed to select a candidate in instances where county parties do not have a nominee for a vacancy in office.
Peña-Garza said she is optimistic the end of the straight-ticket voting option in 2020 will help Republicans in the county, and said the county GOP is focusing this election season on races for county judge and Texas House District 41.
Despite facing no competition, Mancias has already spent approximately $7,850 of his own money on his campaign, almost half of which went to John Carlos Treviño, a local political consultant, according to a campaign finance report filed July 16.
Mancias presided over the 93rd District Court from 1989 to 2000, and upon his retirement was succeeded by Delgado. He will likely take the bench in his former courtroom in January 2019 and hold it through the remainder of Delgado's term, which ends in December 2020.

Detling Summer Conference, or Detling, is an annual summer gathering of Christians at the Kent Showground, near the village of Detling, Kent, UK, from which the conference takes its current name. It was formerly known as Revival Fire.

Event
The event was founded by the Rev. Eric Delve and Christian musician Russ Hughes in 2000. Hughes left the organisation in 2006.

The conference consists of music, seminars, keynote speakers and groups for children of all ages, attracting families. Late night music events and comedy are also featured. Although people choose to visit daily, half of the 5000 daily visitors camp on site. Each year's event has a different theme including The Spirit and the Bride, Your Kingdom Come, After God's Own Heart (2008) and in 2009 Nothing is impossible.

Over the years Detling has attracted many well known Christian speakers including the former Westminster Chapel pastor Dr. RT Kendall, the General Director of Evangelical Alliance Rev. Joel Edwards, missionary Jackie Pullinger MBE, Adrian Plass and J John.

Music
A number of 'live worship' music CDs have been released, including Let Every Step We Take, Your Kingdom Come , "As It Is In Heaven", Rhythms of Grace, "Nothing Is Impossible"  and "Rise, Run, Reign". Also released are recordings of live 'ministry' music from the River Event, The River (2002)
and Return to the River.

Organisation
The event was jointly organised by a UK Limited Company - Revival Fire Conferences Ltd - and a Registered UK Charity, The Spirit and the Bride Trust. The main aims of the charity were to 'make grants to other organisations'. From 2008 a non-profit company limited by guarantee called People without Limits took over.

In July 2008 to raise funds for the event, Eric Delve spoke for 24 hours, setting a world record for the longest outdoor preach.

The organisation has created several offshoot organisations, including All Saints Praise and Eurofire. All Saints Praise has been held on Halloween at Canterbury Cathedral since 2000 and consists of singing and a speaker. In 2008, it was also held at Guildford Cathedral, led by Rev. Andrew Delaney.

SPLA Denies Harassing Kenyan Nationals in South Sudan
Posted by African Press International on April 16, 2007
Khartoum (Sudanvisiondaily)
The Spokesman for Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), Major General Kuol Deim Kuol has refuted claims by Kenyan businessmen and nationals that SPLA soldiers are harassing Kenyan nationals working and doing business in southern Sudan.
SPLA soldiers parade in Juba during the celebration of the 2d anniversary of the signing of the CPA Jan 2007 (©John A. Wuoi )The SPLA Spokesman was reacting to claims in some section of the Kenyan media that at least 3 Kenyans are being held in Rumbek in connection with the murder of a Ukrainian flight engineer, Mykola Sebrenikov.
A post mortem examination done on the late Mr. Sebrenikov at a Nairobi hospital indicates that he might have committed suicide.
He added that the 3 Kenyans allegedly killed by SPLA soldiers 15 kilometers inside southern Sudan, were actually killed by what he referred to as "Kenyans bandits".
"In actual fact, the incident happened on 24th March this year in which Kenyan robbers attacked a Kenyan truck at Khor Duluma and in that incident, 3 Kenyans were killed. Khor Duluma is inside Kenyan territory, it is a known place and it is a banditry point", he said.
He further accused Kenyan authorities of refusing to establish a police post at Khor Duluma which according to him would have saved lives of many southern Sudanese who died as they fled the civil war in Sudan to seek refuge in Kenya.
"Many southern Sudanese fleeing war in Southern Sudan have been killed and SPLA has been appealing to our Kenyan brothers in Lokichoggio police to establish a police post at the Khor Duluma because Khor Duluma is inside Kenya", he added.
Kuol said the Chairman of Long Distance Truck Drivers Association, (an association which he says is not registered in Southern Sudan) Nicholas Mbugua has been lying to the media and Kenyan public over the alleged harassment of Kenyan trucks drivers in Southern Sudan by the SPLA soldiers.
He said, "Nicholas Mbugua accused the SPLA of killing 3 Kenyans 15 kilometers inside southern sudan, which is just a concoction".
Mbugua could not be reached for comments.
The SPLA Spokesman also alleged that Kenyan nationals in southern Sudan are being used by — what he called — forces that want to tarnish the image of the Government of Southern Sudan and the SPLA.
Incidents of harassment of foreigners including Kenyans and Ugandan nationals in Southern Sudan have increased over the last few months with SPLA soldiers largely to blame. According to businessmen and foreigners working in southern Sudan, the SPLA soldiers extort money from them as well as put them in jails without charges, a claim that the SPLA spokesman has denied.
Early this month, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni formed a committee to investigate allegations of SPLA soldiers harassing Ugandan businessmen in Southern Sudan and at roadblocks between the Sudan and Uganda.
The Committee, headed by Walter Ochora, the Commissioner of Gulu District in Uganda, is charged with responsibility to investigate claims of harassment of Ugandan nationals in southern Sudan and prepare a report to be presented to President Museveni.
The Kenyan government through its embassy in the Sudanese capital Khartoum has written to the Government of Southern Sudan to protest the harassment, intimidations, arbitrary detention and beatings of some Kenyan nationals by southern Sudan security agents.
The Government of Southern Sudan maintains that it is not holding Kenyans in jails in southern sudan neither are SPLA soldiers harassing Kenyans nationals in Southern Sudan as reported in some section of the Kenyan media.

Human Rights Ombudsman's Office revises its internal laws
Dili Weekly - March 14, 2016
Venidora Oliveira – Human Rights and Justice Ombudsman (PDHJ) Silverio Pinto said the organization plans to revise its internal laws as several positions and systems need to be improved and updated.
He explained that in the past the director was responsible for good governance and human rights monitoring, as well as advocacy and civic training.
However, a national directorate would now be established to take on this role. "These directorates will focus on good governance and human rights issues," said Pinto in Dili.
He added that the Director General would become the Executive Secretary and a cabinet responsible for ombudsman protocol would be established. The cabinet would also be responsible for arranging the ombudsman's activities and trips.
He said provisions had been in the laws for subsidies to be provided to those with an additional work load. He said the proposed new laws had been prepared by PDHJ and would be sent to the council of ministers to be discussed and approved.
Member of Parliament MP Francisco da Costa said while all institutions should have strong internal laws, existing laws that were working well should be maintained. "We need to look where the laws need to change, but in general they are being changed to do a better job in the future," he said.
He hoped that the changes would proceed despite the problems faced in Timor-Leste and the weak implementation of laws.

Looking for housewife jobs from home? Perhaps you are a full time housewife and your husband is the sole breadwinner of your whole family. Therefore, you are looking for jobs to supplement your income. You really wish to lighten the burden of your husband.
Fortunately, there are many ways to make money from home in today's world.
In fact, there are many ways for you to make money from the Internet.
One option you can consider is to become a freelancer. As a freelancer, your timing is extremely flexible. If you only have 2 to 3 hours to spare because you need to take care of your kids and do household chores, then just spend 2 to 3 hours.
Of course, the more time you can spare, the more you can earn.
Alternatively, you can consider affiliate marketing. Just like freelance writing, affiliate marketing is also equally flexible. In fact, affiliate marketing can be more profitable than freelance writing because if you do it right, it can be a source of passive income.
So, what is affiliate marketing.
Well, it simply means selling other people's product and earning commission for every sale. There are many people who are making a full time income from home just by selling other people's product.
When it comes to affiliate marketing, the sky is really the limit. The most successful affiliates are making up to 5 figure per month. Of course, when you are first starting out, you shouldn't expect this kind of income level.
You do need to gain some experience first. However, $100 per day is a very realistic target to aim for.

Just spent a great night with Richard Gill & Jane Mongrain from Just on Campus in St Paul's, London (old city) taking stills at their live webinar event laid on for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. They also wanted me to take some behind the scenes shots too of the crew and technicians. The whole evening was a chance for Graduates to get a flavour of the bank and to meet several current staffers to get a better feeling of what to expect from working there. Really positive stuff and the live webinar was very impressive too, very slick and shot to TV studio standards.

Mikel Arteta calls up 17-year-old wonderkid to Dubai training camp, he's yet to make Arsenal debut
By Ben Evans
Arsenal's first team are jetting off to Dubai today as their Premier League preparations step up another level.
Mikel Arteta's squad will have enjoyed some well-earned time off after a fantastic start to the season.
The Gunners took part in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Watford yesterday, losing 4-2 to the Championship side.
Arteta certainly didn't have his first-choice team available, with many of Arsenal's stars still at the World Cup.
One player whose time at the World Cup has ended is forward Gabriel Jesus.
He left Brazil's squad after picking up an injury to his right knee, which will be a bitter blow to Arteta and Brazil coach Tite.

A report from sporttv, via Football London, suggests Jesus could be out for as long as three months.
Meanwhile, Arteta has called up a number of young players to join the rest of the first team squad in Dubai.
Already, the likes of Myles Lewis-Skelly and Matt Smith have joined the first team to make up the numbers.
And judging by posts on social media, Arteta has called up young defender Lino Sousa to join the first team.
Arteta gives Sousa training camp call up
Sousa's under-21s teammate Taylor Foran took to Instagram to share a picture of himself and Sousa on a plane.
The caption was simply an aeroplane emoji next to a flag of the United Arab Emirates.
The 17-year-old left-back has been involved with the first team already this season.
Arteta called Sousa up to join first team training ahead of their match against Wolves.
He's previously been mentored by Oleksandr Zinchenko in training as Arteta keeps a close eye on his development.
Although Sousa hasn't made his competitive first-team debut yet, he was on the bench against Brentford in the Premier League.
Instead, he saw 15-year-old teammate Ethan Nwaneri make his record-breaking bow.
Sousa now has three friendlies against Lyon, AC Milan and Juventus to build on his cameo against Watford yesterday.
Regardless of if or how Sousa plays, the faith shown by Arteta to call him up is a great sign for the teenager.

NBA Cash Game Breakdown – 4/7
April 7, 2019 by Benny Ricciardi
Huge slate of NBA games today. The main slate that we should be playing for our cash games has 8 games starting at normal time tonight.
Huge slate of NBA games today. The main slate that we should be playing for our cash games has 8 games starting at normal time tonight. Hell even the shorter early slate has 5 games, which is more than we are used to seeing on a normal NBA Sunday. We are less than a week until season's end. Most teams have two or three games left and much of the playoff picture is already in focus. In the West they are only playing for matchups as the 8 teams are already set. In the East we still have three spots up for grabs with only 1.5 games separating the final four teams with a chance. Miami is currently on the outside looking in, but teams like Brooklyn, Orlando, and Detroit are all in that mix as well. 3 of today's games have playoff implications with both teams still alive. These are not the best games to target for fantasy production though. The Celtics and Magic are both slower paced defensive teams, so that is not an ideal fantasy matchup. The Celtics are trying to hold on to fourth place while the Magic are trying to stay alive. The Warriors draw the Clippers here today. As of now it looks like they will be full strength. In fact the Clippers are the ones with guys likely to sit out more than the Warriors. Patrick Beverley and Danilo Gallinari are both unlikely to play here. While it does open up some value for the Clippers, it doesn't give me a ton of confidence in them to win. The last big playoff push matchup is Denver and Portland. Denver will be a team we talk a lot about today as Murray, Millsap, and Jokic are all likely to sit. That's nearly 100 minutes in recent games and from the top three offensive weapons currently on the squad. Missing three high minute, high usage guys like this is going to open up major value as the rest of the team is now in line for boosts in minutes and usage, while all of them are cheaply priced. The Nuggets may ultimately lose this game to the Blazers, but for fantasy I think we need to start our discussion by looking at them. If your lineup doesn;t have at least a couple of Nuggets players today, you are doing it wrong.
The injured list is honestly too long to even get into today. Here's the highlights though. Giannis is likely out. Trae Young and John Collins may be too on the other side of that first game. If so, the Atlanta Hawks would join the Nuggets as places we should be looking today. The Suns also have some issues with Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton both out. TJ Warren has been out awhile and Richaun Holmes is now also listed as questionable to doubtful today. Last game without those guys we saw a big monster performance from Josh Jackson, along with big performances from Dragan Bender and some guy named Ray Spalding. I mention them, because that Trio should feature heavily again here today, although it is a much tougher matchup. The Pelicans against Sacramento and the LAkers against Utah are the other two teams with massive value due to multiple injuries. These guys are cheap and solid plays as well, although I don't have as many of them in my lineups due to better value at other positions. I would not doubt we get a few more surprise guys sitting today too and if so, that could open up even more value that we have not mentioned. Most teams are done for the season, either because they were eliminated or because they are in the playoffs and are using this time for rest. Definitely follow any news that breaks later on in the day.
Top Cash Plays
Elf Payton – I do not hate D'Aaron Fox on the other side of this game either and both guys are priced in that second tier range for point guards. Ultimately I leaned Elf because he is more of a triple double threat. This game features a fast pace and two teams with nothing really to play for. Fox does give up some time to Bogdan, which is another reason I lean Elf. Both guys are solid plays in a game with a huge total that likely features a ton of scoring.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – Ever since Patrick Beverley went out, SGA has seen 30+ minutes again routinely. Not only that, but he is producing with those big minutes. Today the Clippers may also be without Danilo Gallinari. That would mean everyone else would have to do more on offense. SGA has already been making value without Beverley, so this would just solidify his role a little more.
Monte Morris – Morris may be one of my favorite plays on the day. The guy has produced well all year when given a chance. He has played very well since the IT2 experiment was deemed dead and he started to get minutes back. Now he plays a game with Jamal Murray and a Murray less Nuggets team was something that helped him burst on the scene in the first place. Jokic and Millsap are out too, so Morris should be in line for not only big minutes, but also increased production.
Shooting Guard
Donovan Mitchell – I don't think salary is much of a concern here today. Some of the high end options are not playable and we have so many cheap low end options that you can pretty much fit in whoever you want. Utah draws an awesome matchup with the Lakers and Mitchell is coming off his fourth straight game of about 45 DK points. Not a ton of upside from there, but for cash and a nice safe high floor you really can't go wrong here.
Kris Middleton – Giannis is very unlikely to play. Whenever Giannis is out, the guy I always look at first is Middleton. HE tends to not only pick up his scoring, but pick up his game across the board. He's also reasonably priced at Below $7K on DK. He's had some monster games without Gianis already this year and is in line for another today assuming that is the situation.
Jamal Crawford – With Booker going down, the Suns needed scoring. The rest of the guards on this team really can't do that, but Crawford can. The price has risen off a monster OT game where he dropped 40+, but it's still under $5K. Crawford is probably more of a 25-35 point kind of guy than the 40+ he dropped last game. Still for under $5K, around 30 would be more than enough.
Mario Hezonja – So the Knicks suck and no one is going to argue that, but MArio Hezonja is a gunner and when given a chance he can and has produced. In fact he has produced a lot in recent games. He played 34 and 42 minutes in the last two games, following up a 50 point performance with a 29/9/5 stat line by going for 57 DK points last out with a 16/16/11 stat line. I know the price has jumped up big time, but 34+ minutes and 50+ fantasy points is no joke. The Wizards matchup is one of the best you can ask for at a high pace and lack of defensive prowess.
Gordon Hayward – Normally I steer clear of the Celtics with that deep rotation, but this is a must win game for them to try and keep hold of that #4 spot and home court in the series with Indiana. Not only has he played more with Jaylen Brown being doubtful the last few games, but Terry Rozier also went down and is questionable. Hayward is the guard who should continue to see more minutes and usage with these guys out. Kyrie and Smart already play ceiling minutes, so they don't have much room to add extra. Hayward was routinely playing less than he can handle as they rounded him back into shape after that season ending injury last year. Now is the time they need him and as the minutes have gone up, so has the production.
DeAndre Bembry – I'm not a huge fan in cash, because normally he plays less than half the game. Today though I expect more from him, because guys like Trae Young and John Collins are unlikely to play. Bembry has been playing to the upside even in 29 or less minutes. With increased usage and a thinned out rotation his chances are even better today.
Josh Jackson – The Suns are a mess right now, but Jackson is the bright spot. Without the high usage rate of Devin Booker, along with guys like Ayton and Warren being out, Jackson is basically the #1 option on this team. He dropped 60 DK points last time out and helped many of my cash teams from the other day. His price has come up a bit, but this is a guy who still almost went 10X on that price and is in line for another big game. The matchup today is not anywhere near as good, but I still project him as one of the better options at the position on the day.
Trey Lyles – We already discussed the Nuggets sitting Jokic, Millsap, and Murray. Lyle's is the guy who has been benefiting the most from Millsap absences. Jokic and Millsap being out means the Nuggets frontcourt is likely to be a combo of Mason Plumlee and Trey Lyles. The two of them have split time covering minutes whenever one of the other big guys has been out. Lyles has had some big games in these circumstances earlier in the season and I expect him to finish strong as the Nuggets rest some of the big guns before the playoffs.
Dragan Bender – This one really hinges on the availability of Richaun Holmes. We already know that Ayton is out, but Holmes has been banged up too. If both of those guys miss the Suns frontcourt is down to two guys. Dragan Bender and Ray Spalding who is listed below. They each went for 40+ DK points in that last game, although it did go to OT. Still these guys are cheap and even without OT would have been around 30+ minutes and over 30 fantasy points. The matchup today is tougher, but when guys are getting huge bumps in minutes and production, it doesn't really matter.
Ray Spalding – Already kind of explained it above, but the real kicker with him is price. Bender at $5K is not expensive, but not cheap either. Spalding is near in or dead minimum on both sites. If he repeats or even comes close to repeating his effort from that last game, it's well over a 6X return and flirting with 10X.
Mason Plumlee – I start this with Plumlee, because he is going to be on a lot of my lineups. He already flirts with value off the bench backing up guys like Jokic and Millsap. With the start today he should get plenty of minutes and he's never been a guy to struggle to produce. Plumlee should crush here today and will be on all my lineups.
Alex Len – Don't hate Alex Len either to be honest and made a few lineups for cash with both guys. He's miles behind Plumlee for me in a one center spot (FanDuel), but without Dedmon and with Collins likely joining him, Len should be the main big guy for the Hawks.
NOTE: We have a slew of second centers at $7-$8K today. Guys like Demarcus Cousins, Javale McGee, Rudy Gobert, and Enes Kanter are al in play. My bigger problem is why use them though? You might get the same or more fantasy points out of Plumlee today and he's a few thousand cheaper. Without Jokic, his production has been that good. These other guys could al outscore him by a few points, but not likely by enough to justify the added price you have to pay for them.

CaixaBank, the Portuguese Investment Bank's (BPI) owner, wants to close around 800 of their branches in Spain until 2021. The company informed investors about their strategy this Tuesday, in London.
CaixaBank, the owner of BPI, wants to close more than 800 branches in Spain's major urban centres in the next three years, according to the company's 2019-2021 Strategic Plan, which was presented today in London to analysts and investors.
The Spanish bank will thus go from 5,358 banking dependencies in 2014 and 4,460 in 2018 to 3,640 in 2021.
The reduction of the commercial network will be mainly carried out in urban centres and will remain unchanged in the more rural areas, with a population of fewer than 10,000 people.
CaixaBank wants to "accelerate digital transformation" in order to become more efficient and flexible, optimizing their use of the new technologies.
"We want to consolidate our role as a leading and innovative financial group with the best customer service and be a benchmark in socially responsible banking," said CaixaBank CEO Gonzalo Gortázar.
CaixaBank also defined as one of its priorities a profitability above 12% by 2021.

Two dead as Tesla's driverless car crashes, bursts into flames
By Editorial Bureau April 19, 2021 432
The 2019 driverless Tesla Model S traveling at a high speed failed to negotiate a curve and went off the roadway north of Houston killing two men after crashing to a tree and bursting into flames. "There was no one in the driver's seat," Sgt. Cinthya Umanzor of the Harris County Constable Precinct 4 said.
After the fire was extinguished, authorities located 2 occupants in the vehicle, with one in the front passenger seat while the other was in the back seat of the Tesla, the report said, citing Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman.
The accident comes amid growing scrutiny over Tesla's semi-automated driving system following recent accidents and as it is preparing to launch its updated "full self-driving" software to more customers.
The U.S. auto safety agency said in March it has opened 27 investigations into crashes of Tesla vehicles; at least three of the crashes occurred recently.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in January that he expects huge profits from its full self-driving software, saying he is "highly confident the car will be able to drive itself with reliability in excess of human this year."
The self-driving technology must overcome safety and regulatory hurdles to achieve commercial success.
Umanzor said the two crash victims were born in 1962 and 1951.
