Thank you so much and good afternoon everyone. My name is Lauren McKenzie and I'll be kicking off this panel. I'll begin with about 10 minutes of some macro level efforts to integrate WPS at the Marine Corps University, and I'll be followed by my colleague Dr. Claire Mattelitz, who will zero into some really interesting, a little bit more micro level initiatives at the command and staff college. But first, just by way of background, Marine Corps University is located in Quantico, Virginia. It's a university comprised of several degree granting schoolhouses at the captain major and Lieutenant Colonel level. We also have an enlisted college, we have a college of distance education, library, etc. So it is a relatively large university, certainly not as large as the war college at least as this one. So we'd like to just talk a little bit about some of our efforts to integrate WPS over the past several years and by no means do we have the answers. But what we'd like to do is share some things that have worked well for us in the hopes of maybe garnering your input in hopes of collaboration, and in hopes if if any of the ideas resonate with you and you'd like to expand upon them in your own context at your own institution. I'd love to help with that. So what can you expect from the next 20 minutes the first half of the panel. So first I'll kick off by talking about a couple of efforts to integrate WPS across the university.  So one of the things that I've been working on since about 2015 are some efforts that can help be the connective tissue across the respective schools and centers at Marine Corps University. So I'll talk a little bit about a writing award that we instituted in 2017 open to all students across the university to include our enlisted college to include our distance education college for there will move on to a relatively new program designed to bring together students, faculty and staff from across our schools and centers to gather once a month for a discussion pertaining to WPS broadly to enjoy a free lunch provided by our foundation. And of course to network with each other because it isn't often that our students get to collaborate across the different learning levels. And then I'll conclude with just a few kind of lessons learned from my efforts to offer faculty development again across the university some things that have worked well and, and maybe not so well. And they're on from there and I'll turn it over to Dr. Mattelots to talk about some of the great work that she's done a command and staff college. So first things first, I want to talk a little bit about this idea of grassroots right so as has been alluded to several times already today. When things come down from above and are pushed on us as faculty as staff right. It doesn't tend to go as well as when it comes from the grassroots. Back in 2017 at MCU we invited Dr. Naila Arnaz from NDU who at the time to my knowledge had the only WPS writing award in the PME context. She spoke to us a little bit about that. And one of the EWS our expeditionary warfare schools instructors Blake Jackson said we need to replicate that here. And oh by the way, he said, I happen to be an officer for NNOA the National Naval Officers Association, which is devoted to some promoting and supporting minority officers so he said I think we'll have the money. So we'll have the resources. If you at MCU can provide the judges and things like that so that was how we got our first writing award started from that fact dev. So this is this slide is not meant to be read word for word I know there's a ton of text there, but this is the one pager the call for papers if you will that again I'm happy to share with you I'll have our email addresses at the end I can send you this one page as a word doc or a PDF, but it sort of showcases our attempt to attract and reward solid student research and writing devoted to WPS. And I should say, I mean some of our winners have been papers about masculinity I mean it's not all about gender. Many of our winners over the years have not had the acronym WPS a single place in the entire paper. So we are really we try to be broad and inclusive in the way that we attract student research and writing and reward it. So, this just tells you a little bit about the $600 prize. Again it's a 300 200 100 prize respectively, and I bring that up because I just think the strategic messaging these student award winners get recognized at our commencement. And what a great way to showcase strategic importance of WPS, other than at the commencement when we sometimes will have the command on the Marine Corps will have a lot of general officers. And again all the friends and family and faculty so a great place to say hey MCU recognizes the value of WPS and we put money where our mouth is right we recognize and reward it. This is just a little bit about the selection criteria the judging and notification, and the submission guidelines so I put this up here just because I didn't want to talk in broad generalities I wanted to give you something specific that I'm more than happy to share with you, and I'm so we're no longer the only game in town all the school houses, I think across PME now have some version of this. So it could be a little bit old news but if you are looking to, again, institutionalize a WPS writing award at your school or center, or just to revise or update others, please email me I would love to talk to you about some of the experiences we've had some success. One other thing I will add because my co editor is here Lieutenant Colonel Dana Perkins is a colonel now. Oh, God, sorry you got promoted without me. I mean what we did was we formed a small committee, and we asked all the PME school houses across the US to send us their top WPS writing award papers and then we had a best of the best competition, where we brought together all the papers got a great panel of expert judges, and we picked a top winner, which was I think exciting in and of itself, but also we were able with the support of our Marine Corps University Press, we were able to compile all those award winning papers into a book or an edited volume that came out last year so we're real proud of that and again, just a way to recognize great student work. Alright so that's there at your disposal if you'd like it. Okay. The first thing I wanted to bring up because I think it also emphasizes our desire to collaborate and to focus on not just on the down and in, which is so tempting for us all in our own work to really focus down and in but but to go up and out because we're always trying to balance that. This is the creation of a WPS scholars program. So again, this is not meant to be read word for word this is just a slide that shows you the front page of a publication that came out last month in the Marine Corps Gazette. What I learned about the Marine Corps when I joined the faculty in 2015 and that I truly admire is that they have this publication the Gazette where they can exchange ideas and share, you know, criticisms and they can share new initiatives and respond to each other and it happens in a pretty timely fashion. So this came out last month March of 2023, where Dr. Mattelots and I and our colleague Brad Weinman were able to publish the inaugural year of this WPS scholars program. I would say it's now been renamed the Reynolds scholars program, and that's really important because when General Val Jackson invited us to be part of a series of different scholars programs at MCU we have the gray scholars the crew lack scholars. We didn't have any named after female generals and retired Lieutenant General Lori Reynolds spent most of her career devoted and committed to communicating the idea that diversity is a strength. And we leave, you know, strength and talent on the bench, you know, we're only hurting ourselves. And so with some collaboration across the university we decided to rename the WPS scholars program the Reynolds scholars. I'm going to tell you as a person who whose organization was canceled by the Marine Corps I initially was hired as a part of the Kayakul the Center for Advanced Operational Culture Learning our culture center. The Marine Corps divested itself of the culture center culture was no longer relevant to the Marine Corps apparently and so in 2020. We went away. And one of the things that Dr. Mattelots and I wanted to ensure didn't happen is that when WPS. goes away, God forbid, right, that that our efforts don't die with it. And so no one is ever going to cancel in the Marine Corps, General Mattis, General Gray, General crew lack or General Reynolds. And so this just gave us I think some really important staying power. So if you have any interest in sort of what we did in terms of developing this program, delivering it and the future directions of the program. And this article in the Marine Corps Gazette from March 23 chronicles those efforts. And so again, we're proud of it it's a work in progress it's not perfect but every month we get together, and we ask the hard questions, and we connect with each other. All right, my last minute. I just want to say a couple of things that I've learned, as I've tried with the help of my colleagues to offer faculty development opportunities at Marine Corps University. And the first thing is for me like, I have to always keep in mind that the distinction between reaction and response.  My pack is full and heavy and and I'm falling over because of the weight. So I think that that reaction is, it's fair and it's valid. But as I would like to quote our current director or Colonel Brad tippett at command and staff college, and he said that there's one thing that we'd like you to think about this academic year is thinking about the weight of your pack, and what in your pack doesn't serve you anymore. If there is a new idea, you could replace that old rock that's been weighing you down. And think about something in a new way. And I think that's what WPS is about it helps us give us new tools for causal analysis for red teaming for emotional intelligence for critical thinking, all the stuff you've heard already today. So that's been important for us to think about WPS as, you know, another way for Marines and our students to become more resourceful. And that's one thing that we're after with our 10 months that we have for them as we want to help them become more resourceful in their thinking in their analysis. And then finally, and I'll turn it over to Dr. Mattelots. This is a quote from retired General Mike Dana, who said that the way that you see the problem may be the problem. And I've noticed that not only for my students and my faculty with WPS but for myself. I've been working here as I've really had to work hard to try to see it from a different angle from a faculty that does always have a lot being pushed down upon them. And we try to think of creative ways to work in WPS through essay prompts through discussion questions through issues for consideration that aren't just another reading another speaker, or another module, but a way to integrate it seamlessly into the curriculum. I'll stop there. Thanks so much for your attention. I'll turn it now to Dr. Mattelots who will talk about some specific efforts at the Command and Staff College. Okay. My name is Claire Mattelots. I am a faculty member with Dr. McKenzie at Command and Staff College. A lot of the things that were discussed in the previous panel are going to be familiar in this presentation, but I'll just, I'm going to highlight how ours is different. So, at Command and Staff College, as one of the colleges at Marine Corps University, we have, we have about 250 students at Command and Staff. So it's relatively large. So that's every year, including about 40 international officers. And every January, the students have to take some electives. And this is the best part of the year because it's when we get to teach what we like. And what we're good at, supposedly, and the students get to take what they want. So the past three years, my background is, I'm an Africanist, and I study conflict. So gender WPS is something that Lauren introduced me to when I got to Marine Corps University. But for the past three years, I have, I devised an elective. So very much like, like Joan did, I, you know, I have a class. And again, this is small print, I understand that. But I will go over some of the lessons and point out how my class is a bit different because, because all of my students are military, I wanted to make sure that it was highly relevant. So I, but I also love theory. So I wanted my, my own kind of interest in there as well, as we tend to do as academics. So what I did with the gender war and security class, and it's been surprisingly successful, always, always, at least half of the class is always men. And I get everything from infantry to artillery to like medical officers. But one of the things that I did for the elective was I made half of the lessons operational and half of them academic, which so each, you know, there's an A and O by each lesson, you get 10 lessons for the elective. So I do similar things to, to the elective that was discussed in the last panel I do things like, what is WPS I talk about militarized masculinity norms tropes things like that. But I also talk about, I also talk about things like how do you operationalize WPS how do you do it. Right, what does it actually look like. And because I have never been a gender advisor. And the only qualification I have is that I have a uterus, right, that I have. So what I do is I get, I have speakers come in who have either been, you know, gender advisors, I have people from OSD, I have I had Dr. Brown come in and talk about how she implemented WPS in in the college where she is in Canada. So I have speakers come and talk about the stuff that I'm not an expert in. So at least five of the classes right. They do a gender analysis and they do it in class and then they have to do it as a paper, things like that. So this is. I've been surprised that I always have skeptics when I come in.  If not having fully bought into it, right. I think that there is so much more to this topic. Okay, so that is an elective. And again, I'm just kind of giving you like the nitty gritty of what, what a lot of us are doing at command and staff college. All right. The last couple of years I, and it's sad to say but I've been able to I've talked people into letting, letting us do WPS in the planning and war fighting exercises. And so it's been a bit of a win. And it gets better every year. But this is actually where, you know, where, at the end of the year and it starts Monday we have this culminating exercise that lasts the entire month and the entire student body are in it. They all have billets. We're fighting some fake country that really is China right. But what I, what we do now is I have gender focal points. And so each, each task force gets a gender focal point and I get to play the gender advisor at the cocom. And what I've done with students in the past couple years is we've come up with like a fact book, like a fake fact book, right, for this fake place, right using very obvious disaggregated data from, from some other place right. And what we do is we, I just work with the students on here's, here's how you do, you know, here's where gender advisors, or a gender analysis comes into it in the JIPO brief, right, or here's how it comes into when you're just doing a PC and that's kind of an easy one. But, and then they go to different task force groups like working groups like the targeting group the strike, you know, strategic ops group, things like that. And they just advise and a lot of them are hesitant to do this right because it's kind of like I don't want to push it and I'm just like just push it, just push it. Challenge. Yes. But a lot of it comes a lot of success comes from having high level support. And once you talk the, you know, the retired generals who come and do their, you know, play commander, which is wonderful. But once you brief them and get them to understand why this is important stuff, then the students buy into it so having having top cover is really, really important. All right, I, I'll, you know, if you have questions about this. I, and we come up with documents, things like that like we've created things not really knowing kind of what, what is supposed to be done. But it's like, it's like, you know, building the airplane as it as it's flying. Okay. And then finally, my last point is that we've also integrated WPS into the civilian like curriculum and very much like, like Susan said in the previous presentation. It's, we do put them in lesson cards right I sort of made it I got, I got folks to be like all right minimum requirement. Five of the lesson cards this year of the, I don't know, 30 some we have should have WPS or some sort of aspect of diversity or intersectionality or. And, and by that, I don't mean just readings, right, you can have readings but to me that's just, you know, like, adding women and stirring, you know the article. It's just, you know, numbers but you can have readings you can have discussion questions. I really agree with, with Joan and the fact that teaching the faculty about this is probably the very first, you know, step, because they're not going to be comfortable. So getting there by and is very important.  There's lots of, there's lots of ways to do this. Again, I completely you know I agree with everything that was said in terms of how to kind of. It would be a standalone kind of like now we're going to talk about WPS right I agree with what was said before. In that sense, but there are. I'm also of the of the of the opinion that, you know, sometimes you just, you just got to, you just got to put it in there, and people aren't going to be happy. We've gone for years with not being happy with not having it so. So I think that, you know, this is, this is steps forward. And I'm going to leave it at that so that, so that Dr Brown and my Canadian colleagues can, can go. Yes. Oh, sorry, steps forward. Here is our email address addresses and if you have any questions I'm happy to share my syllabus Lawrence happy to share the writing awards stuff. We also have a WPS Charter framework that we actually borrowed from the Naval War College from Brenda Oberman, who was happy it was nice enough to give it to us. Because we should be sharing this stuff, not kind of like, it's not copy written, right, so anyway, let us know if you need anything. Okay, that was fantastic round of applause. Okay, our next presenters from the Canadian Defense Academy and we have Dr Vanessa Brown, Mr beyond like your love and miss Christine St. Pierre, so you have the stage. Well, thank you very much. And thank you to both of you for the great presentation. Hello and good afternoon. It's our pleasure to be here at the US Naval War College as part of this important symposium on women, peace and security. I'm Christine St. Pierre, and I'm a gender advisor with the Canadian Defense Academy and I'm joined here by my two colleagues doctor Vanessa Brown assistant professor at the Canadian forces college and Bjorn Lagerlof, who is senior advisor to the commander at the Canadian Defense Academy. And our present presentation today will focus on the work that we have been doing at the Canadian Defense Academy to mainstream women, peace and security, as well as gender based analysis plus as part of the work of the Defense Academy and Defense Education. Yeah. So, Canada, as the United States and as many other nation nations around the world have committed to integrate women, peace and security, the women, peace and security agenda or framework is through adopting national action plans and Canada's national action plan was implemented in 2010 and our second one in 2017. And now the national action plan was was really a catalyst in terms of helping or supporting the different departments within Canada to integrate women, peace and security and one of these departments is certainly the Department of Defense and the Canadian Armed Forces. And so in 2016, the Department of National Defense adopted a specific directive for integrating resolution 1325 and the women, peace and security agenda into Canadian Armed Forces planning and operations, as well as across its institutions. So this includes the implementation of gender based analysis, plus as a tool for integrating both women, peace and security and gender perspectives across the department and the armed forces. In addition, Canada's defense policy also includes a clear commitment to advancing diversity, respect and inclusion, including striving for gender equality within the organization and in all of its domestic and international activities and operations. Now, as part of these specific commitments, the Canadian Armed Forces have also specifically committed to increasing the proportion of women in the military by improving recruitment retention train and training of personnel. But certainly what we've, what we've learned over the last, certainly the last decade is that there are important systemic barriers that require our attention. If women are to have influence within the organization and are to be equitably supported for career advancement and for deployment to both in domestic and international operations. And so, turning it now to the Canadian Defense Academy, we view defense education at all levels as playing a critical role in helping to address these systemic barriers in a meaningful and sustainable way. And so I'm going to turn it over to my colleague, Mr. Lagaloff who's going to talk more about the Canadian Defense Academy context. Great, thanks so much. So as Miss St. Pierre pointed out, there are a lot of policy imperatives as well as international agreements to which Canada's party, which give us, you know, I think it's safe to say enough policy cover to proceed with advancing WPS through the department. The reason why CDA or the Canadian Defense Academy is such a pivotal, I think, player in that space is because we're effectively at the center of professional development for the Canadian Armed Forces. We have four core roles within the Canadian Armed Forces and Department of National Defense. And because of those four different roles, we're able to take a more systematic approach to to mainstreaming WPS and applying gender perspectives through the professional development system. And that includes from a policy direction curriculum content delivery perspective so it allows us to be a lot more comprehensive. And the role as you see represented behind me. It's really covering off the CDA formation as an organization itself so my boss major general HSN is the commander of a command so the CDA formation has four colleges within it to pre commissioning academies, one NCO Academy and then a command staff college. And so that is one rule that that person has to carry out. And that is his role as a training authority for all CAF common professional development. Beyond that is his role as the functional authority for professional development so between those two roles. That gives the Academy control over things like requirements. It was an interesting discussion on requirements in the last panel. And how those are set how those are formed and from our perspective now. When we sit a requirements writing board or a qualification standards writing board and Canadian forces language. We bring in a gender advisor or other experts to inform how we are drafting those requirements that then get transmitted down to the schools. And I know that's something my colleague Dr Brown will talk about in her part of this. Well, we're looking at the policies that are around student loading onto courses so what are the student population mixes that we have at each college. What are the barriers that might be in place for students from an access perspective, and so on and so forth we're also looking at some of our programs to look at the way in which they're being delivered. They being delivered equitably are their barriers to success. Those kinds of things are the questions that we're asking ourselves. And so all of those responsibilities added up really provide us with a very, I think, good opportunity to advance WPS especially and to incorporate gender perspectives across all of what we do. I know my colleague, Miss St Pierre can elaborate a bit more on how we do that specifically and some of the frameworks we've put in place to advance that through our gender focal point network. One of the things that we've done in the last two years is kind of really look at the structure within CDA and how we can implement a gender structure in a similar way, or taking from the NATO and the UN experience. So, it's really a way of that we've, we've been able to institutionalize the implementation or the integration of women, peace and security and gender based analysis plus as part of our core governance nodes. So what what my colleague was talking about in terms of policy and training and business planning so the various areas but also in terms of the, the various institutions. And so, in terms of that structure we've had a gender advisor so prior to me, my colleague Dr Brown, and now me acting as gender advisor to the commander but also to the Canadian Defense Academy, and then a series of gender focal points. And so, in terms of the institutionalization of it it's, it's been really building the capacity of the gender focal points themselves to, to carry out that that work or that thinking, and also building, building the cooperation mechanism. So to ensure that there is cooperation and there is sharing among, among the network itself so that we, we are not alone in the work that we do, and that we are also not siloed in in the work that we do because there's there's much overlap. And one thing I'll mention in terms of the, the success or the ability to do this has been driven by the buy-in and the support of the leadership and, and the different directors that are supporting the work of the gender advisor and the GFPs. And I'm going to turn it to Dr Brown who's going to talk about the process for how, how we're doing all of this. Thank you, Miss Christine St. Pierre. As, as Miss Pierre had alluded to, we have been so lucky to have a gender structure now built within the Canadian Defense Academy, and the Canadian Defense Academy has, has some ownership over all of the Canadian military structures and I'm going to speak to the perspective of the college that I work at is the Canadian Forces College noting that there are others. So within the Canadian Forces College, we have 13 gender focal points, and those gender focal points include as a lead gender focal point our deputy commandant. We also have faculty members, both civilian and military. We also have librarian staff, and we have curriculum development officers, and we come together on a regular basis to create professional development opportunities not only for ourselves as gender focal points, as well as the, the opportunities that are established by Miss Christine St. Pierre as a gender advisor for CDA. But we also, we, we also have conversations about how do we really mainstream gender perspectives, and in particular gender based analysis plus, as well as equity diversity inclusion and in the Canadian context indigeneity within what we teach the way in which we teach and the context in which we teach it. So on the screen behind me is our gender based analysis plus lens. So in that lens, we have gender and sex as key components to understand any groups access to or limitations to resources as well as their risk or opportunities within conflict and crisis, as well as peacetime. So for the Canadian government. We have a gender based analysis plus model as well as this lens that's federally mandated across all of our federal departments including the Department of National Defense and Canadian Armed Forces. And the plus is intersectionality.  Okay, so we're middling. We have a significant contingent who haven't and a significant contingent who have, if you're already familiar with intersectionality, I would commend you to, to look at Canada's interpretation of that and see if that jives with what you know. And if you don't know anything about intersectionality and you'd like to learn more, I would commend you to look up Kimberly Crenshaw. She's been working on intersectionality since she coined the term in 1989, but probably one of her her greatest works on this was mapping the margins in 1991 she also has YouTube videos for free and she's an excellent scholar and practitioner so highly recommend. So in the Canadian context we look at gender perspectives we look at the differential and often disproportionate impact of conflict and crisis for women men, boys girls and gender diverse individuals and we also use this lens to understand what we are and what women by taking a look at all of those other intersecting identity and experiential factors. When we think about conflict, when we think about peace, and when we think about how to mainstream these ideas within our curriculum. So within Canadian Defense Academy, more broadly, and across all of the Canadian military colleges. So this is the same federal mechanism as, as all the other departments to understand how to think about gender based analysis plus in a systematic way. So this is one visual interpretation. This really allows us to challenges are to challenge our biases to understand what our biases are to think about the assumptions that we bring to the table and we're thinking about peace and security to think about who we are we are collaborating with and who we are sharing the space with. So a lot of the, the, the conversation is about having a seat at the table. This is more about ownership of that table with diverse groups. This is one visible visual representation. This is another, but really it's about change management within our organizations and mainstreaming women, peace and security, as well as gender and intersectional perspectives and the work that we do. So at the Canadian forces college, I've been privileged to work there since 2015 as a sectional instructor and now I'm an assistant professor so I'll work there until I die. So, along the way, we, we tried to figure out how we were doing this right and how we were doing this wrong. So in 2017 I was contracted by the college to do a large report on how we were mainstreaming gender and cultural perspectives within the joint command and staff program so at the major to left hand at Colonel level. So I did an interview program that we offer at Canadian forces college. And I did interviews with staff with students, and I did focus groups with different communities within the college to understand what were the impacts of delivering this learning. Where are we doing it well, and what were the gaps. And so from this I had several recommendations, which are now areas that are gender focal point network are working on. So really about how do we understand what to include across all of our key components of our programming. Where does women, peace and security fit. How do we mainstream gender based analysis plus. How do we consider diverse perspectives about women, peace and security about security about peace about human security. How do we ultimately come together as a community to work on this together, because there are a lot of people who have never considered women, peace and security before. As part of their curriculum, there are others who have been considering this for a really long time. So we've been having conversations.  Some of the things that we've been able to do is have professional development opportunities where colleagues will come in and present what they know. We also have had asked for a survey of like awkward moments within classroom dynamics that had a gender component or an intersectional component where we as faculty members were unsure about how to respond in a way that was inclusive. And so we've had these professional development conversations about not only what we include in curriculum, but the dynamics that are going on in the larger learning environment, both within the classroom and beyond it. So if you'd like to hear more about the report that I did, I parlayed that into my, my PhD, so it is available online, and it's completely shareable. We mistakes were made but also also successes were made as well. So I think I'll, I'll end it there.


Hmm What's up money gigs mr. V here welcome to another video guys so in this video I want us to talk about the trading time frame because that's a question that I've gotten from a lot of you guys out there Asking what time frame I use for trading so if you are getting into day trading You have to at least have a time frame based on the platform that you use So that's what I want us to talk in today's video But before we get to the guys if you're new to the channel We took about how to earn money how to save money how to invest and build wealth So that's something that interests you go ahead and hit that subscribe button and your notification belt So you don't miss out on you content So basically when it comes to trading you have to understand what is a time frame? So time frame is just the amount of time that a trend would last in the market So if you are a day trader or a string trader a long-term trader You want to identify a particular trend based on time and see if that trend repeats itself And if it's consistent that you can kind of trade that using that time frame So that's pretty much what it is So if you have or let's say we both which is a platform that I trade with if you can see up here Where my mouse is there are different time frames that you can use for trading is a one minute There's a two minutes at three minutes all the way to 30 minutes So one two three five ten fifteen and thirty then beyond that is that goes into hours Which is one two four and then days and then weeks and then months and then quarters and then year So it gives you that big window to be able to do analysis and determine Which way you want to go so again like I mentioned there are three Different kinds of trace traders that can be using this time frame So the first one would be let's say day traders So day traders are people that could trade off let's say the one the two the three the five the ten and the 15 minute window so you see them within that space And you have to follow those trends and look at what's happening within that time frame For me I use the one minute time frame because I'm what you call a momentum trader or a gap and go trader So every candidate you see here on this chart It's one minute and you can see it makes a whole lot of difference for me So I don't sit and wait my trades are fast quick in and out I don't have to sit in a trade for five minutes unless there is really a good catalyst that allows me to sit in that trade so my trades move really fast and they call them gap and go because they start moving fast and I want to see it move and I take profit as I go So a lot of people would do Maybe trick with the 15 minutes where you can get in and then you look at that trend like 15 minute trends Let's switch. Let's say in 15 minutes right here. Just gonna take a look So if you were trading 15 minutes, so each of this candle is 15 minutes So if you get in if you got in here, you're looking at this candle Which is 15 minutes knowing fully where that you have to wait 15 minutes to go up So you can treat using that again, it depends on your trading strategy So that way you can determine which particular time frame you want to use I personally use the one minute and if you are a long-term trader You probably want to use maybe the week the the month or even the quarter to see what you want to get into Let's say if you are looking at a particular stock do some analysis You want to see what that stock has done over Maybe a period of time over the quarter or over the week or over the month or over a year to actually see what's be happening So if we let's say we take this stock right here that I'm looking here I'll eds if you can see coming into today This stock has been a five dollar stock for a while You can see that just sitting there at five dollars and then it popped today to a high of 13 dollars and some change And then so the question is if you want to swing this stock Are you swinging it to the upside or you're swinging to the downside? Because right now support for this would be a five dollars because this thing can go back to where it came from Which is five dollars. So if you go in here without any catalyst This is not going to be one that you want to swing because if you're swinging to the upside You're already trading at the high here So you don't want unless you know that there's a catalyst that can push that high even higher at this particular point You don't want to touch it. So that's something that you have to be aware of as a string trader Again for long-term positions, you don't want to buy the high you want to buy when it's actually trading at the low So you go again, you can look at the date chart here Or you can look at the weekly charts and see what's happening with the stock So this is their daily chart. Look at how this thing has moved It went for again, like I said from five dollars all the way to 1340 for a high and that's setting a new high Which to me that's not usually a good place for you to get into the stock You don't want to buy it at that high But for day traders and we look at it want me to candle here It gives you a ton of opportunity to trade so like right here right out of the gate You could have made money right there the squeeze from here all the way to up here That's where you could have made money even right here this bounce off of View up right here. You could have made some money. So again Figure out what you're doing as a trader. Are you a swing trader focus on your daily chart decision? So you can use the weekly chart to kind of guide you Through the process and then if you are a day trader You can focus on using the one minute two minute three minute five minute ten and fifteen minutes On the we will platform and if you are a long-term trader You can focus on using the weekly the monthly and the quarterly or yearly charts to give you an Idea as to what would be your entry point and your exit point and also to define what would be Support and resistance for that particular stock. So that's what I wanted to cover again in this video guys Just to give you guys just to conclude here My trading strategy is what you call momentum trading, which is gap and go So I don't have the time to sit there or the patience to sit there Using the five mini candle to see what's gonna happen in that trade if you if I'm doing a swing trade Oh, if I see a particular stock that has a catalyst and I can do that But on a daily basis, I'm just trading stock is a gaping moving fast volume comes in and you buy and sell Very quick. That's why volume. It's a huge part of my strategy if you've watched some of my videos I take a lot about volume because that's what drives that movement that momentum so you can go in and out as Soon as possible. So I'm not sitting there holding that it's gonna keep going up No, as soon as I make profit I secure that profit wait for another opportunity So that's what I wanted to cover in this video again guys. Let me know in the comment section What time frame you use for trading have you tried other time frames or are you just trying to figure out which one works for you again? If you have any doubts, I'll say paper trade make sure you practice the time frame that works best for you Doesn't mean that my time frame should be the same like what you use test the time frames that work for you Maybe you're better trading up with the five minute time frame than a one minute time frame So again, I did disadvantages and advantages of using a particular time frame. Yes, if you look at some of the trade You could just see like if somebody that was trading here using the five minute time frame This person if this person got in the trade, let's just say right here If you got in the trade right here at eight point one If you're using the five minute time frame you would have been into this trade all the way to 13 But if you're using the one minute time frame You'd have gotten out like somewhere here because look at this thing act like it was gonna reverse and then Turn around and then squeeze back up. So again, there's advantages and disadvantages of those time frames So you have to figure out which one works best for you again Let me know in the comment section what you think about is if you're new to the channel We talk about how to earn money how to save money how to invest and build wealth So if that's something that interests you go ahead and hit that subscribe button and your notification bell So you don't miss out on your content also guys if you are looking to get started with investing We will has their promotion where if you sign up and deposit a hundred dollars You get some free stocks links in the description below and as always guys do your due diligence Don't be a greedy savage and stay motivated You


Today we explain three main goals of the Paris Agreement. On 12th of December 2015, the representatives of 196 countries met in Paris and finalized the climate agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Paris Agreement became the first global deal to address the climate change problem and strengthen the international response to mitigate global warming by lowering emissions. Each country is responsible for contributing to the Paris Agreement's goals, and each country's commitments should be more ambitious every five years. The agreement outlines non-binding, political-environmental measurements suggested by each member state and has three goals. First is a long-term goal of keeping the increase in warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, but achieving below 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels would be even better. The second goal relates to the need to expand adaptation capacity to the adverse effects of climate change and promote the development of climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emissions. Lastly, the finance flow should be consistent with the objectives stated in the Paris Agreement. For the first time, all nations are brought together for a common cause to undertake the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement, and battle climate change to adapt to its effects. The agreement outlines new answer to global climate effort.


And gentlemen, welcome to the National Archives. I'm Allison Seymour. Happy birthday, America. Before we get started with our really exciting program, I do want to thank the Experience Band and show for their great performance earlier. Their introduction to the sound of DC. Go, go to anybody who is visiting. Welcome to DC. Welcome. Thank you so much. Yes, where are our visitors? As a matter of fact, who's visiting? Welcome to our nation's capital. And thank you so much for joining us on this very special Fourth of July. The National Archives is the permanent home of the Declaration of Independence. For more than 40 years, the National Archives has hosted a ceremony on the Fourth of July to celebrate our independence. After a two-year hiatus, we are so happy to join you in person once again this year. This is the kickoff event for all of today's patriotic activities in our nation's capital. And after our ceremony, stay right here to enjoy all the live music followed by the National Independence Day Parade on Constitution Avenue, which is right here. Or you can escape the heat and come on inside the National Archives building to see the original Declaration of Independence and participate in our family-friendly activities. Later this evening, the National Symphony Orchestra will present its annual concert, a capital fourth in front of the US Capitol. After that concert, you can enjoy the fireworks on the National Mall. Those start at exactly 9.09 PM tonight. And you might have noticed our volunteers carrying big signs with today's hashtag and other social media information. Where are our volunteers? I'm trying to see if I can see anyone. OK, well, let me give you the hashtags. The National Archives is on Twitter and Instagram at US NAT Archives. Please share your fourth of July experience using the hashtags, hashtag archives July 4. And after the ceremony, don't miss our special Declaration of Independence signing booth. Following the ceremony, that booth will be set up inside the museum's Boeing Learning Center with other great family activities.  And now, I ask you to please rise for the presentation of the colors by the Continental Color Guard from the third US Infantry Regiment, the Old Guard, followed by Mr. DC Washington singing our national anthem. Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, o'er the ramparts were so gallantly streaming? Our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star spay. Now, to give us the sounds of colonial America, we have the third US Infantry Regiment, the Old Guard, Fife and Drum Corps. Their uniforms are from the Revolutionary War era, and so is their music. I'm pleased to present Command Sergeant Major Lutricia Fields to narrate their performance. Please join me in welcoming the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. The United States Army Military District of Washington, under the command of Major General Allen M. Peppen, is proud to present the United States Army, Old Guard, Fife, and Drum Corps. The third United States Infantry Regiment, the Old Guard, traces its lineage back to George Washington's original Continental Army, and today serves as the Army's official escort to the president of the United States. In 1960, the Fife and Drum Corps was organized to participate in official ceremonies and to revive our Army's musical heritage. This morning show paints a series of pictures from the life of an early American soldier musician from the days of the American Revolution through the 19th century. Bifes, drums, and bugles were vital to military order and discipline. Field musicians were used to issue commands during battle and to regulate the soldier's day. Soldiers at the United States Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps wear uniforms patterned after those of General Washington's Continental Army. In order to be easily identified, military musicians were the reverse colors of the regiment to which they were assigned. At that time, American infantry soldiers wore blue coats with red facings. Thus, the musicians wore red coats with blue facings. Traditionally, the most skilled drummer was given the title of drum major and was chosen to lead the musicians. Today, the drum major who stands before you wears the light infantry cap and issues silent commands using the S-pond tune and adapted 18th century weapon. Music was an essential part of military life on and off the battlefield. Traditional folk melodies were performed around the campfire to boost morale and provide a momentary reprieve from life at war. We now feature the bugles, bifes, and drums in a scene illustrating both the soldier's respite and the ever-present duty to answer the call to arms. To the fallen with a traditional mournful tune, Roslyn Castle. As the sun set on the battles of the Revolutionary War, our country turned to its newfound freedom. The steadfast values of the US Constitution echo through our ranks and remain a driving force of the Army today. As we close our show, the Corps honors the brave men and women who have fought and continue to fight for the American people. The Old Guard commander, Colonel Patrick Emerati, and the Fife and Drum Corps commander, Chief Foreign Officer Ford Donna L. Morgan, it has been our pleasure performing for you today. Let's hear it once again, taking a step back in time. The Old Guard, Fife and Drum. Well, even though this is the permanent home of the Declaration of Independence, that extraordinary piece of parchment is just one of the billions of documents held in trust by the National Archives. The pieces of paper, photographs, and films in the holdings of the National Archives tell the story of democracy in these United States. And the mission of the National Archives is to make these documents available to you, the American people. Now I'd like to introduce a very important person whom our nation has entrusted the care of the Declaration of Independence. Deborah Steydell Wall is the acting archivist of the United States. Yes, we need to give it up for Deborah Steydell Wall. About to hear from her. She became the acting archivist of the United States in May of 2022, upon the retirement of the 10th archivist of the United States, David S. Ferriero. She was appointed as deputy archivist of the United States in July of 2011 and previously served as the agency's chief of staff from the years 2008 to 2011. And in a variety of management positions related to bringing Narwhal's archival holdings to the public online. She joined the National Archives in 1991 as an archivist trainee with a specialty in film and holds an undergraduate degree in history and government from Georgetown University and a graduate degree in film from American University. Ladies and gentlemen, Deborah Steydell Wall, acting archivist of the United States. Happy Fourth of July. It's great to see you here today on the 246th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It's especially wonderful to be back in person celebrating on the steps of the National Archives building here in Washington. Many thanks to Alison Seymour for joining us again this year as emcee of our festivities and special greetings to those of you in our presidential libraries and across the country who are watching this via live streaming, including my mom. The Fourth of July starts here at the National Archives because we're the proud home of the original Declaration of Independence. In fact, it's right through that door behind me. I have the distinct honor of working in this building and I'm fortunate that I get to see the Declaration on a fairly regular basis. But it's truly miraculous that we have the Declaration of Independence here at all. The Declaration traveled around a lot before it came to the National Archives in 1952. This document was signed by our founding fathers in 1776 in Philadelphia. It moved with the Continental Congress from city to city. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Princeton, New Jersey. After the Revolutionary War, Congress met in Annapolis, Maryland, then moved to Trenton, New Jersey. From 1785 to 1790, the Declaration's home was in New York City. In 1789, the Secretary of Congress transferred it to the Secretary of State. The Declaration then moved with the government from New York to Philadelphia and finally to the city of Washington in 1800. When the British were attacking Washington during the War of 1812, a clerk at the State Department, Steven Pleasanton, wrapped up the Declaration of Independence and other important documents in corselin and bags, put them in a wagon and hid them in Virginia. The next day, Washington was burning, but the Declaration was safe in an unused grist mill near Chain Bridge in Virginia and it was moved a few days later to Leesburg, Virginia. In the 1800s, the Declaration of Independence was on exhibit for long periods of time. In fact, it hung across from a window for over 30 years. Natural aging, sunlight, smoke, fluctuating temperatures and humidity all took their toll on the document. Eventually, the State Department removed it from display and stored it flat where it joined the Constitution until 1921 when President Harding signed an order transferring both of those documents to the Library of Congress. But the Declaration wasn't done moving. Just before the United States entered World War II, the Declaration and Constitution were sent to Fort Knox for safekeeping where they remained until September of 1944 when they returned to the Library of Congress. Finally, these documents came to their rightful home here at the National Archives on December 13th, 1952. There was a big, elaborate parade where the Declaration of Independence along with the Constitution was escorted from the Library of Congress by military personnel and carried up these steps into the rotunda where they make their permanent home. After the ceremony, I invite you to come inside our nice cool air conditioned building and see the Declaration of Independence along with the Constitution and Bill of Rights for yourself. A few reminders. You can share your pictures and stories from your 4th of July experience at the U.S. Nat Archives on Twitter and Instagram. Use the hashtag archives July 4th. You can also add your own John Hancock to the Declaration of Independence at our special signing booth inside the Boeing Learning Center. And although we don't allow photography in the museum, we've made a special exception for our selfie station where you can snap selfies with some of our special historical guests. Thank you so much for coming out for today's ceremony and the reading of the Declaration of Independence. Doing so reminds us of that tense and challenging moment we faced 246 years ago. It's that act of rebellion and the nation it produced, however imperfect that we celebrate today. Now I'd like to introduce our keynote speaker. Rodney Slater is a senior partner at Squire Pat and Boggs and a former U.S. Secretary of Transportation. As Secretary of Transportation under President Bill Clinton, he passed several historic legislative initiatives, including the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st century and the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment Reform Act. He's the former administrator of the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, former director of government relations at Arkansas State University, former special assistant for economic and community programs and former executive assistant for community and minority affairs to then Governor Bill Clinton. And he's the Vice Chair of the National Archives Foundation Board of Directors. Please welcome Rodney Slater. Thank you. Today we stand on the steps of America's living history. To celebrate, reflect and rededicate ourselves to the fulfillment of the promise made 246 years ago. Now as never before in our history, we draw strength from the founding ideal of our democracy, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. We are also reminded that our Declaration of Independence and so many of the hollow documents that are preserved in the building behind me embody the indispensable elements of our national consciousness. Collectively, they represent what we at the National Archives know as America's Charters of Freedom. The U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, Emancipation Proclamation, 13th, 14th, 15th, 19th Amendments, General Order Number Three dealing with Juneteenth, the Deed of the Statue of Liberty, the 1965 Voting Rights Act. All of these documents and more epitomize the collective wisdom and power of a Pluribus Unum out of many one. The challenge of each of us is to follow the example of our founders and the countless unsung heroes who pledge their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor to the unending work of building a more perfect union. I want to thank our acting archivist, Deborah Sadelle Wall, for inviting me here today for a few words at the Fourth of July Reading Ceremony. I also want to thank our sponsors of this wonderful event, John Hancock, AARP, Daikama, for their generous support. As the Vice Chair of the National Archives Foundation Board of Directors, my work and the work of our fellow board members is to support this revered institution, an institution devoted to protecting and preserving our nation's most precious and treasured documents and our history, including the original Declaration of Independence. As we gather here in Washington, DC and around the country on this day of fun and family and food and festivities, I want all of us to just pause here at the archives, all of us together at this unique celebration of the freedoms that have made America the most successful multicultural democracy in world history, a beacon of hope and an exemplar of self-government and self-governance for freedom-loving peoples around the world. President Joseph R. Biden speaks of the soul and the essence of America, when he proclaims that we will lead not just by the example of our power, but by the power of our example. And in this moment of celebration and reflection, we must acknowledge that we're still very much an imperfect union, as we face a number of existential threats to our survival. From the calamity of January 6th to the horror and the heartbreak of losing too many of our children, losing any of our children to gun violence, from continued racial divisions and the so-called cultural wars that seek to divide and to tear us apart. This day reminds us that regardless of our struggles as a nation, all of the struggles that we have faced, we have always come together as a people of all races, ethnicities, all walks of life, to lift one another up and to overcome adversity. It is during these trying times that we need to be reminded of the promise of our great nation even more. We find strength and courage and resolve in the course of human events, as the founders and countless others did so many years ago, standing up at great risk to themselves and their families to speak out against tyranny, to unite as one people and to ensure the steadfastness and the sustainability of our nation. The importance of the Declaration of Independence can hardly be overstated. It established for the first time in human history, a new nation, a union based on the concept of equality and the right, the right of self-governance. The promise, yes, while the promise of America and its inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are self-evident, it is a promise that is not effortless. Dr. King reminds us that human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable. Every step towards the goal of justice requires sacrifice and suffering and struggle. The tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated citizens. The pursuit of inalienable rights has been a challenge for our nation from its inception and remains a challenge that we face today. From Abigail Adams and her admonition on the eve of the writing of the Constitution to quote, remember the ladies. To the recent regressive steps taken by the United States Supreme Court to overturn Roe. The promise of America and the reality of America have been engaged in sort of a seesaw struggle on the scales of justice. Our democracy begins with a promise, but it doesn't end there. We the people must dedicate ourselves to making the promise real. And sometimes it is done through the quiet determination of an elected or appointed official or an election day worker, essential workers of all stripes, a young gifted poet, a young courageous staffer. Sometimes the promise of our democracy is renewed in the righteous indignation of a protester lawfully petitioning the government or a 100 year old grandmother standing in line to vote. All of us have a role to play as we continue to march to ever higher ground on the journey to become, as Dr. King said, a beloved community. This building behind me has enshrined the documented struggle for that beloved community. Reinforcing our ideal and continuing to inspire us to answer the call of today's challenges and life's vicissitudes. Two years ago I penned an op-ed commemorating the 244th July 4th holiday. I used the acclaimed speech of Frederick Douglass given July 5th, 1852, as my point of reference and a point of reference that so many have used in years past. Douglass's speech was clear and direct in addressing America's original sin, slavery, and he was prescient in anticipating the Civil War. 11 years before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, 13 years before the passage of the 13th Amendment ending slavery, he called the 4th of July, quote, the first great fact of our nation's birthday. The very ring boat in the chain of America's undeveloped destiny. As a son of the South, I cannot hope to match Douglass's eloquence or clear-eyed analysis and witness and wisdom. I can, however, honor and pay tribute to his recognition that freedom is not free, that self-evident truths are not self-executing and that we must remain hopeful and engaged in embracing and exercising the rights and responsibilities of democracy. The documents of freedom housed in the National Archives not only represent the hope of the founders and the sacrifices of great patriots like Washington and Jefferson, Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Chief Seattle, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Johnson, Bayard Rustin, Cesar Chavez, Patty Mink, and others, they represent the dreams of every generation before and every generation since that pivotal day of January 4th, 1776. And these documents illustrate the winding road of progress many have forged before us. Finally, I find hope. I find hope even in these difficult times in the very core of our founders' intent as proclaimed by Lincoln at Gettysburg to create a government of the people and by the people and for the people with liberty and justice for all. So on this July 4th, I recall Lexington and Concord and Yorktown and Sumter and Gettysburg and Appomattox. I recall Pearl Harbor and Ground Zero. I recall Topeka and Little Rock and New Orleans. I recall Elaine and Tulsa and Galveston. I recall Seneca Falls and Birmingham and Selma and Montgomery. I join all of you and the other 330 million of our fellow citizens as we rightly celebrate and as we reflect on and as we rededicate ourselves to the promise of America. And I ask that you remember the words of one of my favorite presidents, William Jefferson Clinton. Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world, but the engine of our own renewal. There is nothing wrong with America that can't be cured by what is right with America. I thank you for coming today, the 4th of July, in celebration, reflection and rededication. Happy birthday, America. Thank you so much. And now, I am happy to introduce you to a very distinguished group of people who will read the Declaration of Independence. Our first three readers are General George Washington, Mr. John Hancock and Mrs. Abigail Adams. Next, to read the grievances against King George III, we have three of the leaders of the Second Continental Congress, Mr. Thomas Jefferson, Mr. John Adams and Dr. Benjamin Franklin. These three gentlemen know the words of the Declaration better than anyone else. All three served on the committee to draft the Declaration and Mr. Jefferson was the primary author. And to read the names of the 56 signers of the Declaration, we are proud to have Private Edward Ned Hector of the Third Pennsylvania Artillery Company, Free Black Colonial Soldier, Patriot and Hero. Finally, we're gonna have some audience participation just as our colonial forefathers would have done. As our special guests read the grievances against King George, watch for James Fortin, historical abolitionist, Philadelphia sale maker and our town crier today. Where are you? I know I saw you. All right. The town crier will be assisted by our volunteers holding the signs to tell us when we will express our displeasure with a hearty boom. Can we hear it? Boom. Ladies and gentlemen, the Declaration of Independence. In Congress, July 4th, 1776, the unanimous declaration of the 13 United States of America. In the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them. A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. And that whenever any government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it. Laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall most likely seem to affect their safety and happiness. Prudence indeed will dictate the government's long established should not be changed for light and transient causes. And accordingly, all experience have shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer. While evils are sufferable, then to write themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the same object, evinces are designed to reduce them under absolute despotism. It is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Has been the patient's sufferance of these colonies and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations. How all having the direct object, the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states to prove this be submitted to a candid world. The most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance unless suspended in their operation till his assent shall be obtained. And when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws of the accommodation of large districts of people unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right in estimate will to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly for opposing with manly firmness his invasion on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time after such dissolutions to cause others to be elected, whereby the legislative powers incapable of the annihilation have returned to the people at large for their exercise. The state, the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without and the convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states for that purpose, obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither and raise in the conditions of new appropriations of land. He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. No! He has made the judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries. No! He has erected a multitude of new officers and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. Oh! He has kept among us in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislatures. He, he has effected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power. Oh! He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to the acts of pretended legislation for a quartering large bodies of armed troops among us, for protecting them by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states, for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world, for imposing taxes on us without our consent, Oh! For depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury, for transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses, for abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing variant and arbitrary government and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies, for taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments for suspending our own legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases, what so ever. Oh! He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coast, burned our towns and destroyed the lives of our people. He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, a desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. Oh! He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken captive upon the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrections among us and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless indians, savages whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. Every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Or have we been wanting in our attentions to our British brethren? We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here and we have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity. We must therefore acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation and hold them as we hold the rest of mankind. Enemies in war, in peace, friends. Representatives of the United States of America, General Congress assembled, appealing to the supreme charge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do in the name and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, establish commerce and to do all of right do. Of this declaration, with a firm reliance and the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other. Thank you, General Washington, Mr. Hancock, Mrs. Adams, Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Adams and Dr. Franklin and Mr. Fortin. How stirring it is to hear those words just as they were written 243 years ago. Private Hector will now read the names of the colonies and the signers of the declaration. Like the colonists, we will show our approval by shouting, ha-za! Can we say it? Again, a watch for the town crier, assisted by our volunteers, holding the signs to show you when to shout. So after Private Hector reads all the names of the signers from each state, let's ha-za our approval. But first though, let's just do it one more time because if you're visiting, you're gonna hear your state called and we wanna hear it loud and proud. Let's do it one more time. Ha-za! Ha-za! Now remember, we are going to wait for Private Hector to read all the names from each state and then we're gonna shout out our approval, but I've been here before, we're gonna shout it out when we want to really because we're Americans and ha-za. And now the names of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. You asked me what sort of person would sign a document like this. I'm so glad you asked. These are the people who would have the courage to sign such a paper. First of all, the honorable President of the Continental Congress, John Hancock with Georgia, Gwinnett O.S. Carroll of Carrollton. Be the people. Extra, thank you. Now before we have the program finale, I do want to tell you about some of the activities we have going on inside the National Archives building today. This building closes at 7 p.m., so don't miss your chance to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Magna Carta. We also have special hands-on July 4th family activities in the Boeing Learning Center until 4 p.m. And make sure you stop by the National Archives store tent for exclusive Independence Day products that support educational outreach and events like this at the National Archives. And I'd also like to thank the people who helped make this year's July 4th in-person celebration possible, the National Archives Foundation, and long-time sponsors of this great event, John Hancock and Dykema, along with AARP for their major support. The American historic, yes, yes to AARP card holders, and me, myself included. The American Historical Theater and our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Ben Franklin, and our representatives of the Continental Army, Private Ned Hector, and guest of General George Washington, John Hancock, and Abigail Adams, and James Fortin. The Continental Color Guard from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, the Old Guard, and the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, Mr. D.C. Washington, and the Experience Band and Show. And of course, we wouldn't have had this celebration without the hard work of the staff and the volunteers at the National Archives. Can we give it up? And I also wanna thank you for joining us to commemorate the 246th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. The National Independence Day Parade starts at 11.45 a.m. right after this ceremony. Those of you on the steps, if you wanna see it, you've got a great seat right here. If you stay put, that's after this ceremony. But before the parade starts, the Experience Band and Show will join us on stage, once again, for some more live music. I wish you all a wonderful 4th of July, and I hope you'll stay for our finale and take part in our activities this afternoon and share your 4th of July experience on social media. Use that hashtag. Archives July 4. Happy birthday, America. Have a safe and wonderful Independence Day. And now please remain seated as we welcome back Mr. D.C. Washington, who will close our program with America the Beautiful. Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountains majesties, above the fruities. Oh, beautiful for patriot's dreams that seize beyond the years. Our alabaster cities gleam. Oh, America, God shed his grace on thy good with...


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com coming at you with 2019 at 2020 Panini revolution basketball Chinese New Year Edition This is a eight box random team break number one all cards will ship as well a lot of different parallels and stuff So easier ship for us to ship everything only a 15 spot breaks one spot gets you two teams in the NBA the association so Let's Double up and all teams are in let's roll it. Let's randomize it six and a two eight times for each list Eighth and final time after eight. We've got Matthew Down to Alexander Six and a two for the teams eight times after eight times, we've got the 76ers down to the Phoenix Suns. Good luck everybody. Here's who you're matched up with alright Matthew with the sixers Alexander with the Warriors Jason with the Knicks Josh Proust with the trailblazers Matthew with the Nets Chad with the Kings Nicholas with the Clippers Jeremy 33 with the Hawks Ken with the Rock, it's Josh Proust with the Hornets Jeff with the Lakers my Lakers Chris with the Wizards Jeff with the Cavs Rick with the Pacers Chad with the Jazz Chris with the Thunder Jeremy 33 with the Magic Jason O with the Spurs Ryan L last bottom mojo Miami Heat Matthew with the Mavs Nicholas with the T Wolves Ken with the Grizz Danny with the Raptors and Nuggets Rick with the Celtics Matthew with the Bulls Chris parent with the Pistons Ryan your other last-bought mojo team I've heard of this team the Palakins Chris parent with the Bucks and Alexander with the Suns Let's alphabetize this by team and Feel free to trade if you'd like trade at your own risk And remember here's what's what's different about the Chinese New Year stuff for the rookie autographs And I don't think there's an autograph per box usually there isn't in revolution But if we do find autographs out of here each is sequentially numbered to the featured players jersey number That's pretty cool Chinese New Year parallel there's a red parallel and emerald to 88 and a new hollow gold to eight That's pretty cool. All right, so looks like there's a little bit of trade chatter I'm gonna pause the video when we come back. We're gonna have the eight box break stick around and we're back And there is a trade as you can see There you go. Josh and Jeremy have made a trade. So Josh is now in the Hawks spot and Jeremy is now in the Hornets spot. We'll put tea next to there for trade. So for those of you following along at home You can keep track of who draws first blood in the trade. All right, so let's print. Let's rip There's the eight box case right here Revolution basketball Chinese New Year edition. I don't think I've I think I've we don't think we've busted open any of this stuff. So I'm assuming it's very similar to the other one the regular one Slide these back over here There's the final the final print out right here. It's official and ladies and gentlemen Good luck. So what are we looking at here? All right, so There you go. Those are the parallels. That's the info They couldn't find a Chinese guy for this. They couldn't put zoo key on there. Maybe first box.  Good luck everybody. There should be a bit of a pattern here So I guess those are the New Year's right? These are base. You're not gonna see the parallel name down here Although everything ships There's the New Year And I get it. I'm getting the pattern here So the New Year one is the most common one So they will ship Everything ships other New Year. It's a Seku Dumboya New Year Gary Harris Kauai Leonard and Zion Williamson New Year Ryan Landauer with the pelicans Someone look this up if you can if you don't mind Because I have no idea what the I mean it's Zion it's gonna it's gonna sell well But do the New Year's are they selling better than the regular Revolution ones or not? I don't know what the comparable would be in terms of this insert That's exactly what Ryan Landauer wanted. Nice, man. I'm sure it'll cover the spot They'd be curious to see like how different of a value there might be with This particular set as opposed to the other set So these are the most common ones these New Year ones Yeah, sure. Thanks All right, so if you look on the Nick cam above my head, he's gonna help rip these packs right here Nice, so what about 70 70 bucks hundred bucks? Yeah, I mean like how I'm asking more of like no, it's just the regular New Year insert But let me compare to But like what would a regular Zion go for in at a regular revolution Okay, right so Chad be saying the 88s are going for going to like be like three to five hundred dollars. Oh Wow Gotcha, yeah, so usually in the the yeah the regular version Now it's like one every other box. I think the regular version. It's not every box. Mm-hmm, and they're inner cases, too I think so I think it's like one I think there's like a few Three or four per inner case in the regular version and looks like about a little more rare in these Okay, well Jordan's Jordan Miller saying maybe not too much difference from a Zion maybe Parallel an astro parallel maybe out of But it's when you start getting to those numbered to 88 cars maybe that's where the bigger difference is all right cool Well, I like this revolution. I think it's pretty solid Because there are so few autographs it really puts a premium on The parallels especially when they're numbered or shorter printed Like that Justin Robinson to 88 So these are that that's not numbered Chris Paul. I'm the new Chris Paul The Justin Robinson goes to the Wizards Thomas K saying what were mine worth with which one was yours Thomas? Chris Bay with the Wizards There's Paul George to 88 Kevin Durant another new year New Year Brandon Clark Paul George's Clippers edition of course that'll go to Nicholas L 13 out of 88 And Simmons new year So you can see that the regular new year has the red foil on the names and The ones that are numbered have the green And I think the one that's out of eight, which I think we're not gonna be nice. We found one. Oh another Zion is Gold so I think we should be looking for the gold ones as well. Look at this Ryan another Zion There it is kind of hard to catch in the light this time of day, but There is new year Zion Williamson It's two Two for you. There's the next box right there Paul Millsap new year. We've got the Nick Ignis red Zika's this Nikhil Alexander Walker Porzingus new year Devin Booker. No, it's all good. What'd they get?

Thanks, Nick Ricky Rubio Julius Randall Parents man new year insert everything ships, of course We're gonna get all these Lauren Mark and in It'd be cool to see an autograph out of here. There's Pascal Siakam. I know they're a few and far between Calvin Johnson We were lucky enough to see a gold foil out of here. I think those are out of eight.

So now what we're going to do is talk about the way that skeletal muscle is organized. As you saw before, there is a myosin that's going to be centered in the middle of the sarcomere and then you have actin which is going to be at the periphery of the sarcomere. So here's our myosin and we have two actin on the sides. When we look at this, we can see that there's distinct areas of the sarcomere. This area right here in the center from the tip of actin all the way to the tip of the actin on the other side is called the H-zone and it contains myosin only. If I move a little bit further out from the tip of myosin, okay, including part of actin here, to the tip of myosin on the other side that is called the A-band. It's called A for area of overlap and you can see that this contains actin and myosin. But then the part, okay, from the tip of myosin toward the end of the sarcomere, this is the I-band and it contains actin only. And you'll see these at the ends of the sarcomere, okay. During contraction, when the filaments begin to slide, the actin will move in toward the center of your sarcomere. And when they move to the center, you can see that the H-zone and the I-bands have gotten much smaller. So a simple way to remember that is when the filaments begin to slide, high is the shorter version of hello. The H and the I get smaller.


Look, I'm trying to film you two and getting me sacked from my job. Morning, welcome to film my run. Here we are at the marathon I do every year. It's the three forts challenge. It's not actually a marathon. It's way more than a marathon. It's 27 miles. 27 miles. It's 27 miles over the South Danes. It's a really lovely run. It might be a bit cooler than normal today, but we don't care. We're just going to enjoy ourselves. I'm going to run round with my friend Dan here. I don't know if you ever watch science channels, but Dan's got a massive science channel. It is, it's massive. This is Steve, originally from Minnesota. If any of you are going to follow my Lakeland training plan, Steve's doing Lakeland 100. He's not filling me with confidence. Hallucinations, 38 hours. That's what makes a race fun. Yeah. Don't remember the boring ones.  This is true. Do you say cheer you up?  Chew you up, I was going to say. Spit you out, maybe chomp on you again. Yeah. Right, this is Nula. Hiya. How many marathons are you now on? It used to be 179. And what's the ultimate goal? To get to my 200. Oh yeah, you've done every single bright marathon, haven't you? Yes. Some of you might know Deborah. So in two weeks you've got the North Downsway 50. You've just finished the South Downsway 50 and then you're going to do South Downsway 100. So you think I'm bonkers? We're having a very nice time. We are 11K in. Just passing the River Aida over the bridge and then on up to Devil's Dyke. So if you want to go and run a beautiful marathon in London, one I've done a couple of times called the Vanguard Way, go and check out my video of it. But Gareth is a race director known Gareth for a few years. Always good events, always enjoyable. So go and do one of his events. First aid station. Because we're having a bit of a jolly today, it's nice to stop and have a drink. First time Dan and I have run together, we've been trying to organize a run together for months it seems. But it's never quite happened. But today it has. And I know Dan because I started watching his YouTube channel and it's our running YouTube channel. I don't know if you've ever seen Simon and Dan, but he does science videos. Tell me a little bit about your channel Dan. It's basically taking the mick out of Flat Earthers and other conspiracy theories. It's not the only conspiracy theory there is. But yeah, so I'm just trying to bunk them with logic and facts and science. It seems to do all right. And well you say it seems to do all right. So how many subscribers have you currently got Dan? I think I've got 445,000. 445,000. I mean the biggest, the biggest running channel, the biggest running channel in the UK or in fact in the world I think is the running channel. They're just about to hit 500,000. Oh that's a target. So Dan it really is not far behind that. Amazing. But you are, you've got your own running channel as well haven't you? I have but it's a lot smaller than that. So tell everyone what that's called. I don't know if you've named a run man Dan. Some bits of this course you know are really steep and gnarly. But what you know is they don't go on for very long. So that's the good thing. And then you're on to the nice soft grass again. This is the turnaround point of a devil's die. Hello guys. But it's not halfway. My cup matches my top look. Oh yeah you say that. I've done this race before you know. We think we're going to probably do about five hours. If you are enjoying watching I am trying to get myself to 10,000 subscribers. I'm not far off now so if you wouldn't mind just clicking that subscribe button. I really appreciate it.  Okay 30k in. Hello. Switzerland. You didn't come all the way from Switzerland to do this race did you? She probably lives in Goring. I'm trying to film you two. Gave me sacks from my job.  So we've got about eight miles to go. Thomas is absolutely done for. He can't run another step. The last time I filled Russ was with a 360 camera and he was behind me and he fell over and it was hilarious. So up ahead of us is the third of our iron edge hill forts. This is Chanktonbury Ring. We're just approaching now. Thank you guys. The last major climb. I have to say I am feeling it. I'm tired. Four miles to go. We're nearly there. Last little bit of climbing and we'll soon be done. Final aid station on the way home. We've got about 3k to go. All right. So squash doesn't normally sit very well with me but we're near the finish. Yeah no straight up here straight up here. No no no not that way. I'm beginning to see how you did go wrong. We've just passed a photographer and we didn't run up the hill.  Marathon completed on the three-fourths challenge but as we all know three-fourths challenge is more than a marathon. We've got just over a kilometer to go. Bye Dan. I couldn't do the sprints at the end. Done here and I tell you what I really am done. Hello Deborah. We are really done the innards and I am blaming Dan because he made me talk all the way round and that's sapped my energy. What have you got to say to yourself Dan? I'm certainly sorry. You were fine. We've had a lovely day. We came in in four hours and 46 minutes so not bad at all considering we were going for five. So that's it. Nice short one. See you for the next one. Don't forget if you are enjoying this content do subscribe down below. And what else have I got to say Dan? Click the like button. Hit the bell and turn on your notifications. Thank you very much. See you later guys. Take care for another film marathon next time. Bye bye.
