Glossary of terms – human rights
accession | adhesion | allege | ameliorate | civil society organizations | communications procedures | concluding observations | convention | covenant | declaration | domestic | habeas corpus | implementation | impunity | instrument | International Bill of Human Rights | jurisdiction | member state | multilateral | omnibus | omnibus bill | open treaty / convention | optional protocol | pluralism | protocol | ratification | remedy | repeal | resolution | signature | state party (plural "states parties") | treaty | writ
The act of joining a treaty by a party that did not take part in its negotiations, as defined by article 15 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.
An entrance to an open treaty by a state that did not sign it but is willing to comply with it; this procedure more or less combines signature and ratification in a single act.
To state without proof or before proving.
To make better, less painful, etc.
Civil society organizations — also known as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) — work to promote universal values around human rights, the environment, labour standards and anti-corruption.
communications procedures
The term for a complaint from groups or individuals who may appeal to a UN commission or committee concerning an alleged violation of human rights. This procedure is done under certain conditions and after all possible domestic remedies have been tried and failed.
Under the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, communications procedures can be filed for alleged human rights violations in countries that have ratified the Protocol. The UN Commission on Human Rights and the Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities may also receive complaints concerning a "consistent pattern" of gross human rights violations; this is known as the "1503 procedure", from the number of the Resolution of the Economic and Social Council which established the procedure.
concluding observations
A set of conclusions given by a UN committee at the end of the committee's review of a country's report on its implementation of a covenant or convention. The emitting of "concluding observations" is a relatively recent innovation but appears to be becoming standard practice. The "concluding observations" may include critical comments and suggestions, and recommendations for future action by the country in question.
Synonymous with covenant or treaty. An international agreement, whether bilateral or multilateral. A convention (covenant, treaty) differs from a declaration in that a convention is an agreement whereby countries agree to bind themselves under international law to conform to its provisions. Countries bind themselves in this way through a process of ratification or adhesion to the convention.
Note that "convention" is never used here as a synonym of "conference", "meeting", or "rally", as in "an Authors' Convention".
See convention.
In UN usage, a declaration is a statement recognizing a universally valid principle. Unlike a convention, a declaration is a statement of principle rather than an agreement by which countries bind themselves under international law. Declarations also differ from conventions in that declarations are not subject to ratification by countries, and do not require countries to submit reports on their compliance.
Historically, declarations have often been adopted unanimously by the General Assembly. For example, in the case of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 48 countries voted in favour, eight abstained, and none voted against.
Though not legally binding, declarations – and in particular the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – are considered to have an authoritative moral force; the Declaration is also considered to be the clearest and most forceful expression of universally recognized human rights principles.
Relating to, or originating within a country and especially one's own country.
An order to bring a jailed person before a judge or court to find out if that person should really be in jail.
To give practical effect to, and ensure of actual fulfillment by concrete measures.
Exemption or freedom from punishment, harm, or loss.
A general term that includes conventions, covenants, treaties, declarations, protocols, etc.
International Bill of Human Rights
A term which includes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The authority of a sovereign power to govern or legislate.
member state
A state which is a member of the UN.
multilateral
Involving three or more countries; as opposed to bilateral, that is involving only two countries (as in multilateral treaties or negotiations).
Containing or including many items, for example an omnibus bill. "Omnibus" is derived from Latin and means "for everything".
A proposed law that covers a number of diverse or unrelated topics. An omnibus bill is a single document that is accepted in a single vote by a legislature but packages together several measures into one or combines diverse subjects.
open treaty / convention
An international agreement which all countries may sign and ratify if they so wish (as opposed to some treaties that are open only to certain specified countries, for example those located in a particular geographical area.)
In UN usage, an international agreement complementing or supplementing a convention or covenant by adding new elements or requirements. The term "optional" emphasizes that the states which ratified the original convention are not under any formal obligation to agree to the protocol as well, though they are encouraged to do so (for example the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights).
The belief that people of different social classes, religious, races, etc., should live together in a society.
See optional protocol.
The final approval of an international agreement by the highest authority of a given country (for example the Head of State, Cabinet, or Parliament). In Canada, only the federal government has the constitutional power to ratify international agreements.
The legal means to recover a right, or to prevent or repair a wrong.
To officially make (a law) no longer valid.
An act or statement passed by a majority of votes. The legal validity of resolutions adopted by the UN General Assembly is subject to different interpretations.
An act by which an authorized representative of a country will sign a convention or covenant to indicate that country's intent to proceed to ratification.
state party (plural "states parties")
A country which has ratified a given covenant or convention.
An international agreement concluded between states in written form and governed by international law; see convention.
A document from a court ordering someone to do something or not to do something.

Pikeville players take the field Friday afternoon for the KHSAA Class A finals at Kroger Field. The Panthers beat Paintsville 43-0 for their fifth state title. (KHSAA photo by MATT GOINS)
BY MIKE FIELDS (Dec. 6, 2019)
Mine eyes have seen the glory of mountain football over the past few decades, including Pikeville's three consecutive state titles under Hillard Howard, Tim Couch's national record-setting career at Leslie County, and the blossoming of Belfry, Bell County, Breathitt County and Johnson Central into championship programs.
But mine eyes witnessed the zenith of mountain football on Friday at Kroger Field: All four teams in the KHSAA title games hailed from Eastern Kentucky, and one of the matchups featured the two winningest coaches in state history.
Pikeville pounded Paintsville 43-0 to win the Class A championship, and Belfry beat Bell County 30-20 to claim the 3A trophy.
The two games drew more than 16,000 fans to Kroger Field.
Never before in KHSAA playoff history had two mountain teams won state titles on the same day. (In 2015, Pikeville was crowned champ on a Thursday, and Belfry was crowned on a Sunday. In 2016, Belfry claimed a big trophy on a Saturday, and Johnson Central got its hands on the hardware on a Sunday.)
(To give mountain football fans even more reason to thump their chests: Johnson Central has a spot in Saturday's Class 4A finals.)
"For years the talk was like, well, Eastern Kentucky plays good football in Eastern Kentucky, but they can't compete on a state level, with the western Kentucky teams or Louisville," Belfry Coach Philip Haywood said after his Pirates won their seventh title since 2003.
Pikeville quarterback Isaac McNamee, MVP of the Class A finals, signals the Panthers' fifth state title.
"But today we had four schools here in the finals, and another one tomorrow. I think that's a great compliment to our coaches and players."
Yes, a new seeding format, using the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI), enabled these first-ever championship showdowns between mountain teams.
Still, who thought it would ever happen?
Hillard Howard, who guided Pikeville to its three-peat in 1989, is delighted that it did.
"Seeing mountain football get this good is something," said Howard, who made the trip from his Florida home to watch the Panthers win their fifth title. "Teams from the north and west used to look over teams from Eastern Kentucky then go on to the next one. But they don't do that anymore. Now they have to beat them to win the championship."
Howard thinks Pikeville's then-unprecedented run of three straight titles may have helped prime the pump. "But everybody just started working harder, and Belfry, Breathitt County and Bell County all came on strong about that same time."
Paintsville has its own football history, thanks to Walter Brugh. He led the Tigers to state runner-up finishes in 1978 and '85, and was once the winningest coach in state history.
Football was important in Big Sandy country back then, and it still is under Paintsville Coach Joe Chirico, and Pikeville Coach Chris McNamee.
McNamee, who played on the Panthers' 1987 title team, stressed that the game means a lot to his players.
"These kids love football. They enjoy the discipline and the grind and everything that comes with it," he said. "That's rare today in a lot of places, but we're a tough group in the mountains."
As McNamee talked to reporters, his son Isaac, Pikeville's quarterback, was accepting the game's MVP award after passing for 215 yards and 3 touchdowns. Isaac's older son Andrew played on the Panthers' 2015 championship team.
"It's amazing that me, my brother and my dad now all have (state titles)," Isaac said. "Winning one was something I dreamed of all the time as a kid, and now it's become a reality."
Isaac McNamee said mountain teams have proved their doubters wrong.
"We're very underrated. People overlook us and say we're just a bunch of rednecks. But I think today we showed we can play football."
Belfry Coach Philip Haywood and Bell County Coach Dudley Hilton, shown before Friday night's Class 3A finals. (KHSAA photo by MATT GOINS)
The 3A finals featured a matchup of coaching goliaths: Belfry's Haywood, the state's all-time winningest coach (449 victories) vs. Bell County's Dudley Hilton, who's second on the all-time win list (393 victories).
Haywood has led the Pirates to seven championships. Hilton has led Bell County to two. (He also won a state title at Bourbon County.)
Haywood and Hilton go back a long way: 44 years. They played each other in their debuts as head coaches.
On Aug. 29, 1975, Prestonsburg played host to Breathitt County. Haywood, 24, was the Blackcats' rookie coach; Hilton, 27, was the Bobcats' new boss. (Prestonsburg won 20-6.)
Belfry's Isaac Dixon ran for 228 yards and 3 TDs to earn MVP honors in the Class 3A finals.
More than four decades later, the two men who have had so much to do with mountain football earning respect, met again with a championship on the line.
Hilton, who has resurrected a half-dozen programs, has done it again since returning to Bell County.
"Three years ago they stuck a fork in us. We were 4-7," he said.
The Bobcats, who won it all under Hilton in 1991 and 2008, made it back to the finals this year, going undefeated before running up against Belfry.
"The strong just keep getting stronger," Hilton said of Haywood's Pirates.
Bell County had no answer for Isaac Dixon, Belfry's MVP, who ran for 228 yards and 3 TDs.
Bobcats' quarterback London Stephney did all he could — he threw for 150 yards and rushed for 104 yards and 2 TDs — but it wasn't enough.
But Hilton recognized the significance of the day when four mountain teams played in the state finals.
"It was great," he said. "It showed we can all play."
Glory, glory, hallelujah, to mountain football.
Belfry celebrated its 7th state title since 2003.
ABOUT MIKE FIELDS
After working as a sports writer for 41 years, I needed a break from the daily demands and deadlines of the newspaper business. So last June I retired from the Lexington Herald-Leader after covering approximately 4,000 high school sports events in my career. Now, eight months later, I'm rested and ready for a part-time return to the game. To reintroduce myself: I was born in Pikeville, grew up in Bardstown, graduated from the University of Kentucky, worked at newspapers in Eustis, Fla., Lake City, Fla., Henderson, Ky., and Evansville, Ind., before coming to Lexington in 1980.

Q: Three.js OBJ and MTL Loaders are not called in loop I am using the THREE.js OBJ and MTL Loader in an Loop to display different Elements of an 3d animated cake. I need those different Elements because I want the user to be able to change the color of those specific elements (eg. the decor) of the cake.
But whenever I hit a THREE.load function the execution of the iteration of the loop is stopped an it starts with the next (i++). I am new to Javascript. So I am not sure if I am missing an general understanding of loops.
Only in the last gothrough the load function is called and correctly executed. If I use the exact same code without a loop, but rather provide the material-/objectPath hard coded and use several loader everything runs fine.
function draw(currentlySelectedCake){

layerArray = [];
// Load  Cake

var i;

for (i = 0; i < currentCakeElements.length; i++){

 if(currentCakeElements[i].endsWith(".mtl")){

    var materialPath = "uploads/" +currentlySelectedCake + "/" + currentCakeElements[i];
    var objectPath = "uploads/" +currentlySelectedCake + "/" + currentCakeElements[i+1];

    var cakeLoader = new THREE.MTLLoader();

    cakeLoader.load(materialPath, function (materials) {
      materials.preload();

      // Load the Cake
      var objLoader = new THREE.OBJLoader();
      objLoader.setMaterials(materials);
      objLoader.load(objectPath , function (object) {

        layer1 = object.clone();
        layer2 = object.clone();
        layer3 = object.clone();

        layer1.name = "Layer1Part" + i;
        layer2.name = "Layer2Part" + i;
        layer3.name = "Layer3Part" + i;

        layer1.traverse((child) => {
            if (child.isMesh) {
              child.material = child.material.clone();
            }
          });

          layer2.traverse((child) => {
            if (child.isMesh) {
              child.material = child.material.clone();
            }
          });

          layer3.traverse((child) => {
            if (child.isMesh) {
              child.material = child.material.clone();
            }
          });

        layer2.position.y = tortenhoehe;
        layer3.position.y = tortenhoehe*2*0.75;

        camera.lookAt(layer2.position);

        layer1Group.add(layer1);
        layer1Group.name = "Layer1";
        layer2Group.add(layer2);
        layer2Group.name = "Layer2";
        layer3Group.add(layer3);
        layer3Group.name = "Layer3";

    });

    layer1Elements.push(layer1Group);
    layer2Elements.push(layer2Group);
    layer3Elements.push(layer3Group);
});

  }

});

}

}

A: I think this here was my solution. Still in the final process of testing. But looking good so far.
https://www.albertgao.xyz/2016/08/25/why-not-making-functions-within-a-loop-in-javascript/

*

*the variable i and j gets declared first

*When the first loop runs, an anonymous function has been created inside the loop

*Inside the newly created anonymous function, it referred a variable i which is not in its scope

*After the first loop, the value of variable i accumulates to 3 since the loop runs for 3 times.

*In the second loop, each function created in the first loop will be invoked.

*When it gets invoked, the interpreter will check the value of i, and it found there is no i inside.

*Since this anonymous has become a closure, the interpreter will look at its scope chain.

*Finally, the interpreter founds the variable i, in the global scope, still within its lexical scope, which is totally legitimate for this anonymous function to refer.

*And the value of i is 3. We solved it in step 4.

*So, a 3 will be output.

*What happens afterwards for the second and third loop is totally the same from step 6~10.

Home Reviews Hawkeye #1 ComicWow! Review
Hawkeye #1 ComicWow! Review
By Huck Talwar -
Kate Bishop is new to town, and has her eyes set on starting her own PI Firm, Hawkeye Investigations. Unfortunately, with her logo being a drawing of an eye, people mistake her for an optometrist and even Clint Barton (the male Hawkeye). Luckily, one college student knows a superhero PI is a good idea! When Hawkeye is on the case, she finds a guy who is a prime suspect, but her client is still in trouble.
Kelly Thompson writes Kate Bishop's character really well. She has a strong personality, excellent problem-solving skills, and a hint of sarcasm. Her dialogue is light enough that we don't get too much of a sense of urgency until the end, when her client is kidnapped and we see a "T.B.C." badge fall out of her bag. On said badge is a mask that alludes to a new character next issue, or at least one that has a much bigger part in Hawkeye's investigations. Clearly, there is more to this case than a stalker.
The interjection of humor in this issue proves to be really helpful in creating the tone for the series. It's serious, yeah, I mean a woman got kidnapped—but Kate herself brings a much-needed laugh, often about herself. Two whole pages are dedicated solely to what people think Kate's business is. The comparisons to Clint and an optometrist create a lighthearted dialogue to further characterize Kate and reveal more about how unsatisfactory her life is (at least for now).
Artist Leonardo Romero illustrates this issue with clean and smooth line work. There is, however, a distinct lack of detail in the characters' faces. We can see when one is making a face, expression, or movement, but there isn't much to the facial features, like laugh lines, frown lines, etc. When they do appear, they aren't realistic by any means.
Jordie Bellaire's colors help make this issue really "pop." Those two pages of fake clients, for example, are colored in such a way that it looks as if time is progressing throughout the day. The light source gets more useful, and even visible, so we can tell that the sun is setting. Elsewhere, colors are realistic enough, but a little dulled down to account for light sources like lights in the library and Luna.
This new Hawkeye doesn't quite have the reputation that Clint has (for the most part, that's a good thing, seeing as most everyone wants to give Clint a swift punch in the face), but she's on her way to becoming—at least—an effective PI. Marvel fans, Hawkeye fans, Avengers fans, head out to your local comic book shop and give this a read.

Nashville skyline
Nashville is the capital of the American state of Tennessee. With 680,000 citizens, it is the state's largest city. Nashville is sometimes called the "Country Music Capital of the World" or more often "Music City, USA"; however, Nashville has done much to escape its country music image and become a regional center of culture and commerce. In fact, Dell, Nissan, and Saturn have all moved some operations to or near the city. The music is various; major rap artists and rock bands (Young Buck, Haystak, Kings of Leon, Paramore, and Ben Folds) claim Nashville as their hometown, and the city is also the epicenter of the contemporary Christian music industry. Nashville has been the home of the world-famous Grand Ole Opry since 1925. Nashville also has a great bar scene. If you like to drink, you can go "Honky-tonking," also known as "bar-hopping."
Nashville was founded in 1779 and it grew rapidly because of its excellent location on the Cumberland River. It was incorporated in 1806 and became the county seat of Davidson County. Nashville was named the capital of Tennessee in 1843.
Like many Southern cities, Nashville was not immune to the economic woes of the post-Civil War South but it quickly rebounded. It only took a few years for the city to reclaim its important shipping and trading position and to develop a solid manufacturing base. The post-Civil War years of the late 19th century brought a new-found prosperity to Nashville. These healthy economic times left the city with a legacy of grand classical-style buildings, which can still be seen around the downtown area.
Since the 1970s, the city has experienced tremendous growth, particularly during the economic boom of the 1990s under the leadership of Mayor (former Tennessee Governor) Phil Bredesen, who made urban renewal a priority, and fostered the construction or renovation of several city landmarks, including the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Nashville Public Library downtown, Bridgestone Arena, and Nissan Stadium.

Nashville sits in the middle of a geographic region known as the Nashville Basin. It is surrounded by the Cumberland Highlands and is bordered by the Cumberland Plateau to the east. The Nashville Basin is characterized by rich, fertile farm country and high natural wildlife diversity.
Nashville has cool, relatively short winters and hot, humid summers, with long spells of spring and autumn in between. Winter temperatures commonly hover slightly above freezing, and a fair amount of light snow generally falls throughout the months of December to February, though large storms of 6-plus inches in a day do occur every few years. Nashville can be prone to severe thunderstorms and tornadoes during the spring and fall months. Summers are hot, but no more than the rest of the southeastern U.S. with temperatures around 90°F (32°C) during the day.

Parking[edit]
If you are looking to park Downtown in a lot or garage, be sure to have a good idea of where to park. The Metro Owned Facilities managed by the Nashville Downtown Partnership (branded as ParkIt Downtown) seem to be the best deal. For example, the Metro Courthouse/Public Square Garage is $3 after 5PM and on weekends. This is much cheaper than nearby private lots.
The center of Nashville is not too big for an able-bodied person to traverse on foot in decent weather, and walking downtown can be quite pleasant.
Nashville is a very historic town and as such, many of its attractions are restorations or museums.
36.1625-86.7769441 AT&T Building. An instantly recognizable downtown Nashville landmark, the AT&T Building, built in 1994 at 333 Commerce Street, is the tallest building in the state of Tennessee and can be seen from quite some distance if the hills aren't in your way.

A Civil War-era fort partially reconstructed by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. Taken by Union forces early in the war, Nashville quickly became the second most fortified city in the U.S. during the Civil War because it was seen as crucial to supplying troops engaged on the war's western front. The 1864 Battle of Nashville — a failed attempt by the Confederate army to retake the city — raged throughout what are now the residential and commercial districts on the fringes of the city. Much of the work on the fort was done by slaves and freed blacks who were rounded up and forced to work on the structure. The fort was closed for years (allegedly because it reminded many Nashvillians of the Union occupation), but reopened in 2004 with new boardwalks and interpretive signs. Free. (updated Mar 2020)

Vanderbilt Commodores. The Vanderbilt Commodores represent Vanderbilt University, one of Nashville's larger sports attractions.

The best-known Vanderbilt sports venues are 36.14403-86.80892325 Vanderbilt Stadium, home to the football team, and 36.144623-86.80725626 Memorial Gymnasium, home to the men's and women's basketball teams and one of the most unique settings in the sport.

Nashville boasts three other NCAA Division I programs, although not at the profile of Vanderbilt:
Belmont Bruins. The Bruins, representing Belmont University, are one of several less expensive alternatives to Vanderbilt for those wanting a college sports experience. The Bruins compete mostly in the Ohio Valley Conference, but do not have a football program. The most popular sport by far is men's basketball, which has become a frequent NCAA tournament participant. Their rivalry with Lipscomb (below) is one of the most intense (and under-the-radar) rivalries in the ranks of the so-called "mid-majors".
Lipscomb Bisons. Lipscomb University is a private school that competes in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
Tennessee State Tigers. Those interested in African American culture may also be drawn to the Tigers (and Lady Tigers), representing Tennessee State University, the city's largest historically black school. They are members of the OVC alongside Belmont, but unlike the Bruins play football in the second-level Division I FCS. Most venues are on campus; the football team has an on-campus stadium, but uses Nissan Stadium for some games.

Most telephone numbers in Nashville consist of +1 615 plus a seven-digit number, but the region is now served by an overlay complex of two area codes, with +1 629 being the second. A local or in-state telephone call now requires all 10 digits of the local number be dialed (omitting just the leading +1 from a local landline call).
Signage on many established businesses may still display the original seven-digit numbers; dial 615 before these if no area code is indicated.
Unlike the more conservative suburbs surrounding it, the city of Nashville is more accepting of alternative sexualities and lifestyles.
In Nashville there is a growing gay entertainment district featuring a number of gay clubs, dance halls, lounges, restaurants and sex clubs on Church Street between 12th and 22nd Avenues with very chic spots offering lively, classy entertainment. LGBT individuals are mostly accepted in the areas of Downtown, West Nashville, Hillsboro, and East Nashville, with South Nashville and North Nashville being less friendly.
Newspapers[edit]
The Tennessean. The main daily newspaper.
Nashville Scene. Nashville's oldest and largest weekly, now run by the Village Voice. Excellent entertainment news and reliable features, plus useful special issues (Annual Manual, Dining Guide, You're So Nashville If..., College Guide, Best of Nashville, etc.)

American Airlines Raises $2 Million for American Red Cross COVID‑19 Relief Efforts
Monday, April 06, 2020, 11:00 AM
FORT WORTH, Texas — American Airlines raised more than $2 million to support relief efforts at the frontlines of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The carrier and its customers raised more than $1 million for the American Red Cross in the first 24 hours of the campaign — a feat that's never been accomplished by any Red Cross partner.
$1 million raised in the first 24 hours of campaign
"American Airlines has been a standout partner with the American Red Cross and chooses to use the power of their brand to assist those in need, whether for disaster relief or a health emergency like COVID-19," said Don Herring, Chief Development Officer for the American Red Cross. "I have been amazed by the tremendous generosity of AAdvantage members during this critical time. From the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every person who has made a contribution to support the life-saving mission of the Red Cross."
Donations designated to the COVID-19 outbreak will be used to:
Help the Red Cross maintain a sufficient supply of blood to help patients in need and prevent any shortages.
Ensure that the Red Cross can provide critical relief services to people during the outbreak, which includes equipping volunteers and staff to provide food, shelter, comfort and relief supplies.
Invest in technology and training for counseling, financial assistance and other relief services virtually.
Provide new cleaning protocols for shelters, food service spaces and emergency response vehicles.
Increase health screenings of volunteers and employees who provide disaster relief services.
Provide safe, socially distanced lodging accommodations for volunteers.
AAdvantage members who give at least $25 to the COVID-19 relief fund will earn 10 miles for every dollar they donate through April 30.
American is proud to be a $1 million member of the American Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program. The airline provides miles to provide travel for Red Cross staff and volunteers who provide critical services in times of need.
"Here at American, one of our most important missions is partnering with organizations that are dedicated to helping others all over the world. This virus is affecting many people, but we know that assisting the Red Cross will help give people access to trained staff and volunteers who can assist with mass care, health and mental health services, immediate disaster relief, as well as support the nation's blood supply," said Ron DeFeo, Senior Vice President of Global Engagement for American Airlines. "We will continue to give our financial support and stand in solidarity with the Red Cross as its team fights against the pandemic."
American Airlines offers customers 6,800 daily flights to more than 365 destinations in 61 countries from its hubs in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Washington, D.C. With a shared purpose of caring for people on life's journey, American's 130,000 global team members serve more than 200 million customers annually. Since 2013, American has invested more than $28 billion in its product and people and now flies the youngest fleet among U.S. network carriers, equipped with industry-leading high-speed Wi-Fi, lie-flat seats, and more inflight entertainment and access to power.

USD/JPY Bullish Price Action Fuel by Hawkish Fed Rhetoric
2021-11-23 16:00:00 David Song,
Japanese Yen Talking Points
USD/JPY Rate Daily Chart
USD/JPY trades to a fresh 2021 high (115.15) to largely track the rise in longer-dated US Treasury yields, and the bullish price action may persist over the remainder of the week as a growing number of Federal Reserve officials show a greater willingness to implement a rate hike sooner rather than later.
USD/JPY appears to be on track to test the March 2017 high (115.50) as its extends the series of higher highs and lows from earlier this week, and fresh data prints coming out of the economy may keep the exchange rate afloat as US Durable Goods Orders are expected to rebound 0.2% in October.
At the same time, the Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index, the Fed's preferred gauge for inflation, is seen widening to 4.1% from 3.6% per annum in September, which would mark the highest reading since 1991, and the data prints may overshadow the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes as Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic acknowledges that "there're good arguments to be made that we really should considering how fast we execute the taper."
As a result, President Bostic, who votes on the FOMC this year, argues that "a faster taper would certainly give us more optionality as we move into 2022," and goes onto say that "we will act as necessary to make sure that inflation doesn't become the spiral that becomes very difficult to control" during an interview with Bloomberg News.
It remains to be seen if the FOMC will respond to the fresh data prints as Chairman Jerome Powell and Co. are slated to update the Summary of Economic (SEP) at their last meeting for 2021, but the deviating paths between the Fed and Bank of Japan (BoJ) may instills a bullish outlook as longer-dated Treasury yields appear to be on track to retrace the decline from earlier this year.
In turn, USD/JPY may continue to trade fresh yearly highs in November as it breaks out of a bull flag formation, but a further advance in the exchange rate may fuel the tilt in retail sentiment like the behavior seen earlier this year.
The IG Client Sentiment report shows 31.65% of traders are currently net-long USD/JPY, with the ratio of traders short to long standing at 2.16 to 1.
The number of traders net-long is 1.68% higher than yesterday and 6.03% lower from last week, while the number of traders net-short is unchanged than yesterday and 12.62% lower from last week. The crowding behavior persist amid the decline in net-long interest as 31.37% of traders were net-long USD/JPY last week, while the decline in net-short position comes as the exchange rate trades to a fresh yearly high (115.15).
With that said, USD/JPY may continue to reflect a bullish trend ahead of the next Fed rate decision on December 15 as the central bank appears to be on track to implement higher interest rates in 2022, and the exchange rate looks poised to test the March 2017 high (115.50) as its extends the series of higher highs and lows from earlier this week.

The broader outlook for USD/JPY remains constructive as it trades to fresh yearly highs throughout the second half of 2021, with the 200-Day SMA (112.77) indicating a similar dynamic as it retains the positive slope from earlier this year.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) showed a similar dynamic as it pushed into overbought territory for the first time since the first quarter of 2021, but a textbook sell signal materialized in October as the oscillator fell back from overbought territory to slip below 70.
Nevertheless, USD/JPY cleared the November 2017 high (114.74) as it broke out of a bull flag formation, and the exchange looks poised to test the March 2017 high (115.50) as it holds above the Fibonacci overlap around 113.80 (23.6% expansion) to 114.30 (23.6% retracement) to trade to fresh yearly highs in November.
In turn, a break above the March 2017 high (115.50) opens up the 115.90 (100% expansion) to 116.10 (78.6% expansion) area, with the next region of interest coming in around 117.60 (23.6% retracement) to 117.90 (23.6% retracement).

Commerce is energy generated from trade between two human factions who have singed a Treaty of Friendship or a Pact.
Commerce is interrupted whenever a Vendetta occurs between two factions, or when sanctions are applied against a faction which has committed an Atrocity.
Enter a Pact (Pacts receive double the commerce of treaties).
Increase the size and economy of a base, or establish an additional base to catch up with a treaty or pact member.

A detailed analysis of the microstructure in B12[subscript]As[subscript]2 epitaxial layers grown by chemical-vapor deposition on (0001) 6H-SiC substrates is presented. Synchrotron white beam x-ray topography enabled macroscopic characterization of the substrate/epilayer ensembles and revealed the presence of a quite homogeneous solid solution of twin and matrix epilayer domains forming a submicron mosaic structure. The basic epitaxial relationship was found to be (0001)(B12[subscript]As[subscript]2) < 1120 >(B12[subscript]As[subscript]2) parallel to(0001)(6H-SiC) < 1120 >(6H-SiC) and the twin relationship comprised a 180 degrees (or equivalently 60 degrees) rotation about (B12[subscript]As[subscript]2) in agreement with previous reports. Cross-sectional high resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of a similar to 200 nm thick disordered transition layer which was shown to be created by the coalescence of a mosaic of translationally and rotationally variant domains nucleated at various types of nucleation sites available on the (0001) 6H-SiC surface. In this transition layer, competition between the growth of the various domains is mediated in part by the energy of the boundaries created between them as they coalesce. Boundaries between translationally variant domains are shown to have unfavorable bonding configurations and hence high-energy. These high-energy boundaries can be eliminated during mutual overgrowth by the generation of a 1/3(B12[subscript]As[subscript]2) Frank partial dislocation which effectively eliminates the translational variants. This leads to an overall improvement in film quality beyond thicknesses of similar to 200 nm as the translational variants grow out leaving only the twin variants. (0003) twin boundaries in the regions beyond 200 nm are shown to possess fault vectors such as 1/6(B12[subscript]As[subscript]2), which are shown to originate from the mutual shift between the nucleation sites of the respective domains.


Jamel Tuff, 26, of Heidelberg Township, pleaded guilty on Thursday to involuntary manslaughter in the death of De'Andre Gaskins, 21, of Jackson Township.
A man who helped buy drugs that caused the death of his friend in York County has been released from custody after two years but will remain under court supervision and must follow conditions aimed at helping him succeed in recovery.
Jamel Tuff, 26, of Heidelberg Township, pleaded guilty on Thursday to involuntary manslaughter in the death of De'Andre Gaskins, 21, of Jackson Township. Common Pleas Judge Craig T. Trebilcock imposed a sentence of five years' probation.
Tuff must spend the first year of his probation on house arrest. He's also required to attend six 12-step meetings per week. That will decrease to five meetings per week for the remainder of his supervision.
In unrelated cases, Tuff pleaded guilty to delivery of fentanyl; criminal attempt to commit possession with intent to deliver fentanyl; and possession of a controlled substance. He was sentenced to serve no additional time in York County Prison, which is where he spent two years awaiting trial.
Leslie said his client has struggled with a variety of controlled substances prior to being incarcerated. Prosecutors dropped the charge of drug delivery resulting in death.
On Dec. 23, 2016, Northern York County Regional police were called to a home in Jackson Township for a man who was in cardiac arrest.
Gaskins was found unresponsive. He was later pronounced dead at York Hospital. An autopsy revealed that the cause of death was fentanyl toxicity, police said.
He graduated from Spring Grove Area High School in 2014 and was attending Clarion University, according to his obituary.
Earlier, Tuff and Shane Ditzler, 26, of Jackson Township, bought drugs in York and gave some to Gaskins. He had put money in for them.
Tuff and Ditzler, who remains charged with drug delivery resulting in death in two cases, testified for the prosecution against the man they say was their supplier: Brandon Beatty.
Beatty, 37, of York, was found not guilty of drug delivery resulting in death in the fatal overdose. But he was convicted of criminal conspiracy to commit delivery of heroin with fentanyl and later sentenced to seven to 14 years in prison.
In an unrelated case, Beatty remains charged with drug delivery resulting in death and related offenses in the fatal overdose of Jovi Henise, 29, of Windsor Township, according to court records.

It is important to choose the right toothbrush. Not only does the wrong toothbrush result in inadequate cleansing, it may even damage teeth and gums. Vigorous left to right manual brushing hurts the gums and damages tooth enamel. As such, electronic toothbrushes may be a better alternative. However, the high cost of electronic toothbrushes often becomes a deterrent, which explains why many of us are still using manual toothbrushes.
HAPICA Minus Ion Sonic Toothbrush is clinically proven to perform better than other leading brands of sonic toothbrushes, and has received international recognition and approval from various dental associations around the world.
HAPICA Minus Ion Sonic Toothbrush's patented Hapi-Sonic technology combines ultrasonic vibrations and precision tapping, removing plaque for cleaner teeth and promotes gum circulation. In addition, its unique ceramic bristles emit negative ions to bind to the positive ions of dental plaque for whiter teeth and fresher breath.
Far infrared rays emitted from ceramic bristles promote gum circulation and improve gum health. Antibacterial bristles significantly reduce bacteria growth on bristles, keeping the bristles clean and preventing bacteria from entering the body orally.
As compared to normal toothbrushes, the soft, ultrafine bristles cleanse teeth more effectively without damaging tooth enamel. The special-cut bristles cleanse gum pockets and areas where normal toothbrushes cannot reach.
Despite being an electric toothbrush, it is water-resistant and prevents electric shock. Suitable for use by the whole family.
HAPICA's other toothbrush ranges include Periodontal Ultra for sensitive teeth and gums, and Pinpoint which is clinically proven to cleanse better than manual interdental brushes. Exclusively available at Watsons.
