Good morning. It is an absolute honor for me to have this opportunity to welcome this class in one of the most prestigious, challenging, and rewarding careers in our nation, that of Naval Officer. Today we will bear witness as 105 officers renew a solemn promise to our nation, reaffirming their oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. For the families joining us, I want to both thank you and commend you for the performance of your sons and daughters, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters. Your love, support and encouragement have produced the quality individuals seated here. Once who not only chose vocations that helped their fellow human being, but who chose a path of service to their fellow citizens. I can think of no finer group to go forth into the fleet than the officers seated here today. They could not have gotten to this point without the careful guidance and support of family. On behalf of the Navy and a grateful nation, please accept my most sincere thank you to the class. I'm proud of you and all that you've accomplished while here. As you depart for your schools and duty stations, know that you are about to be placed in a position to lead and mentor what are truly one of our most valuable national products, the enlisted men and women of our Navy.

It is now up to you to build upon them as you enter the Naval service. I'm very impressed with the effort that you have expended over the last several weeks and I want to thank you for all that you have done and will do in the service of this great nation of yours.

Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming our guest of honor today, Deputy Chief of Chaplains for Reserve Matters, Rear Admiral Terry W. Ettinger. Congratulations for finishing your, for some of you, your first Navy school. And I see looking around the room that some of you must be prior service, or either you went to the uniform shop and bought a lot of ribbons. So I'm going to assume your prior service. So congratulations on a job well done. Now this speech this morning, as you can see, I'm not reading it out of the book, I'm going to talk to you. It's going to be interactive, which means you're going to have to participate. Okay? Everybody good? That's amazing. I like that. All right. All right. I'm going to talk to you only about three things. Okay? We're going to keep it simple. They told me I could only speak for an hour and a half. Right? So we're going to keep it simple. Three things. All right. Now this is the first part where you participate. You got me? Now listen up before you do what I say. I want you to, if you have family in the room, I want you to point to the family, but not yet. Okay? Now if you don't have family in the room and you have family out somewhere, California is that way. Florida is that way. Okay? Michigan is kind of there and Maine is that way. Point to where your family is. If you don't have family, but you have a partner or you have friends that support you, you can point to them. And where's our chaplain candidates in here? Raise your hand. There's one. Okay. For you guys, if you want to point up, that's okay too. All right. Where's your support? Where is your support? Point. Point. All right. Thank you. Put your fingers down. Now you had somebody in mind when you did that or a group of somebody's in mind. That is your support system. I want you to tell them thank you today for supporting you. They're going to be behind you throughout your career. They're going to be the ones silently sitting at home while you're deployed wondering how you're doing, saying prayers for you and sending wonderful thoughts of you and wondering, you know, what's happening in your life and you'll be busy doing your job. And it's easy to take them for granted. So my first point today is do not take your support system for granted. And by the way, families, thank you so much for being here today. Thank you so much. This means a lot. It means a lot to your sailor, your officer. Thank you. Thank you for being here and taking the time. So first point. Do not ever take for granted your support system. Whether it be your mom, your dad, your brother, your sister, your spouse, your partner, very close friends, never take them for granted. Okay? Are we good on that? All right. Now, time to go to number two, right? Lieutenant, I'm going to demonstrate this. All right. What I want you to do now is you're going to turn to the person to your right. All right, not yet. And I want you to pat them on the shoulder. Only on the shoulder. Okay. You're going to pat them on the shoulder and you're going to say, good job or well done or something to that effect. I'll leave it up to you. I give you a little bit of personal freedom here. Okay. You're going to pat them on the shoulder and say, good job, well done person to your right. Everybody know what the right is. In your case, it's going to be this way. And for you folks on the end, you're just going to have to hang out for a minute. Okay. All right. You ready? Go. All right. Now, the next job. Turn to your left and do the same thing. Ready? Go. All right. You just patted your shipmate on the shoulder and said, well done. What I want you to remember is we're all shipmates. Okay. Your shipmates with each other. Your shipmates with us. Your shipmates with the band back there. Your shipmates with those people on ships in Norfolk or in San Diego or in Japan or Pearl Harbor or out on the ocean. We're all shipmates. We take care of each other. We do not hurt each other. Do you have you heard the phrase, I got your back or I've got your six? You can answer that. Thank you. To say I've got your back. Skipper, would you mind standing up here? Turn your back to me. He can't see me patting him on the back, right? This is his most vulnerable spot. To say somebody I got your back means I'm going to look after your most vulnerable spot. Sit down. Thank you. I'm going to take care of you. I'm not going to let something happen to you because you can't see it yourself that's going to happen. Okay. I'm going to take care of you.  I'm going to protect your vulnerable side. That's what that means. Now the skipper read off my resume there and in the bottom line of my resume, my history, it means I've been around a lot and I'm old. Okay, got it. Right. It just means I've been around a lot. I was in Iraq in 2005 with the Marines. Okay. We had combat action going on. 13 times a commander rocket attack. Another time I was up on the Al-Qa'im border. I was within earshot of the battles going on. Now, do I carry a weapon? You can answer that. Do I carry a weapon? You may or may not know. Chaplains. Where are you? Do I carry a weapon? I do not carry a weapon, which means I had to depend on my Marines and my religious program specialist for protection. Absolutely had to trust them, literally for my life. What I need for you to do is do the same for your shipmates. Trust them even to the point of saving their lives, to the point of looking out for them. And by the way, shipmates do not let other shipmates harm themselves. Keep them from harm. All right. So let's go back and review point number one was what? Take care and be appreciative of your support system. Point number two, take care of your shipmate. Okay. So that brings us to point number three, right? Thank you. Thank you. We can try that again if you like. I like hearing you all in unison. Point number three. You ready? All right. Here we go.  And when they're finished, they give you a handheld mirror, right? And they say, how does that look? You know, do I need to take a little more off the top or whatever?  Go ahead.  Now, you don't have to answer this one, but think about who do you see in that mirror? Who do you see? You see yourself, right? Okay. You put your hands down. I'll give you a break. You see yourself. What I need for you to do is be sure you take care of yourself. That means being resilient, knowing that days ahead, there's going to be some hard days. When I first came in, I was a Lieutenant JG and my first CEO told me some really good advice.  And what that means is some days are going to be good and some days are going to be bad. And believe me, I've had both. I've had both and at levels that I had never expected before. But what you need to do now as you're looking into your mirror is tell yourself, no matter what I face today or tomorrow or the rest of my career, I will face it with honor and integrity. Our core values, right? Honor, courage, commitment. I will face it with honor and integrity with high moral agility and make the best decisions I can given my circumstances. Okay. Every day, every day, where's our dentist? We have dentists in here? Okay. We've got a dentist. All right. Every day, you should twice a day look in the mirror probably brushing your teeth. The dentist would really appreciate it, by the way, if you would do that. Okay. In the mornings, when you brush your teeth, say, I'm going to be the best officer I can be today. And I'm going to exemplify honor, courage, and commitment. And then in the afternoon or in the evening at night when you're flossing and before you go to bed and you're brushing, ask yourself, how did I do? And if you slipped a little bit, that's okay. Just do better the next day because we all are going to have our failures. Everybody's going to have your failures. The goal is, is being able to survive them.  It will ruin your career. That's just statistically the way it goes. Okay. Now, I'm going to ask for a response.  What was it? Good job. R2-D2. Well, we're not going to do R2-D2. We're going to do D2-S2. Okay. Can you say that D2-S2? Okay.  I say that, but I see it. People do.  Share that with your sailors. So what do we've learned today? We've learned that we're going to appreciate and we're not going to take for granted our support system, right? Yes, sir. Okay. We're going to take care of our shipmates. And by the way, let me just drop on that for just a second. You're going to be in charge of sailors. And for some of those sailors, you're going to be the only person that's going to be taking care of them. Okay. We're going to take care of our shipmates. And third, we're going to take care of ourselves. And we're going to be people of honor, courage, and commitment. Okay, go ahead. Sorry I cut you off on that one. Hey, it's been my privilege to be with you today. It's an honor for me to be here and to share a few thoughts with you. I wish you the best as you go out and go to your community schools. And you're going to make us proud.  Thank you for what you do. God bless you. Thank you, Kat and Al, Cornemere, Rad, and Will Edinger.

OK, so my name is Hugo Ribeiro. I work at the University of Portugal in Portugal. And I'm the newest member of the Moodle's Users Association Committee since January the year. I'm not sure if most of you already know the association or not. But in these five minutes, I would like to introduce what we do. And mainly, we do or try to do Moodle Car roadmap projects by crowdsourcing ideas from all of our members. So these ideas that any member can put forward become projects that we fund. OK, so this is the main idea of the association. The latest idea built into CORE was to improve the Y-Wax of the student activity completion. And this, as you know, is taking part in the 3.11. That should roll out in a couple of days, I assume. This, of course, is always linked to the Moodle HQ roadmap. So in this case, in 3.11, we did have in minds the big changes that will take place, as you know, in 4.0 later in the year, we hope. So in this case, we needed to make it clear for the students what they needed to do to complete each activity and to enhance the information concerning the important dates for a specific activity. The look and feel of the end result is something like this. And you will probably get more information tomorrow when standard presents the new version, the 3.11. This is some of the projects that we had so far. And I have to rest. Just would like to tell you that we are 10 members. And a bridge around the several countries. And the main thing is that our members are our members. So if you would like to become a member, you will have a lot of benefits. And just for instance, today there is a town hall about the next Moodle version. And starting early June, we will have Ask Martin Dogimas anything. So that's a nice benefit, I think. How to get in? 20 seconds, Hugo. These are the main memberships that you can add to as an individual or an organization. So if you want to become a member, please contact us. And we will be very glad if you join us. So thank you very much. Thank you so much, Hugo. And yes, you do a lot of great work at the Middle East Association. So do make sure to join if you're interested. Thank you.


This really is the crux of our system. The application. So, OOO rules. What is that? Order of operations. Simplest form. So to boil it down to the simplest form. Check the last entry on the 89. Hide. Like the wave, latest signal. The red was a green. Then entries to go with the signals for the biggest trades if not take the small ATM trades. So, you're looking for a match of one of those. Hopefully both. So, you're looking for two greens. Got a green on the 89. Got a green on the wave. Cool. Let's wait for a green on the lowest time frame. Pop that entry. Not there. Fine. You can still take it. But, good just for the ATM to fall big. And the repeat of that looks like way later we had a conversation by this boardroom. It's still the idea, but that's why they set up. Coming on a higher time frame. I'm going to coincide with the lower time frame with the opportunity for running. I can run the length of the higher time frame opportunity with the lower time frame risk level. That's how we enter in on the lowest time frame. A lot of people believe you have to wait for a higher time frame. You can grab small bags down the lowest time frame. And then when you get that lucky opportunity, and I say it's lucky because you can't force the market to win.  Fantastic. This is saved in the wisdom section. If you guys would like to go check that out of our discord room.


Tom here from more systems and let's talk about also labs now first fold disclosure up front This was sent to me now sending things to me does not mean I will even review it And it certainly doesn't mean I will forced in any way or compelled to say nice things I will do an honest review based on my content ethics policy, which is linked down below I've always been very clear and upfront about that. It's on my site. It's linked to my YouTube coming back over here to alter Though I did do a shorts video because I wanted to cue the audience They wanted you to have a voice and that comment section actually really led to all to kind of opening your eyes So let's rewind this little bit I've done a video on it Chris from crosstalk did a video on it and my videos is a short Chris Did a really good in-depth review and I agree with all Chris's findings in that video Those are linked down below But let's talk about how this product's got into my hands and this starts several weeks Actually almost months ago now from the time of recording this video here in June 2023 And I did do some testing after they sent me these devices They send these devices to us prior to them being available in the market because they're looking for opinions from people like me and Chris and others Want to know hey, how do these hold up? How do these perform? So we did our testing on them, but the conversation I have with the people I seen that email and say okay a new contender new product in the market and has self-hosted But then when I talk to them self-hosted was something you're thinking about and tossing it around The actual one-on-one conversation with them I told them it was really important to the community and I want to reiterate the community's feelings and my feelings as well But yes, we want a self-hosted system and they said well, we'll work on it You know, we have this free cloud and it's really cool and hey, we'll talk about the dashboard a minute I think they did a nice job on it, but The locally hosted controller let's get back to that They didn't really think it is a priority, but after reading the comment section They reached out to both me and Chris Chris had an update to his video And I haven't did the video yet. So I'm excited to say they are putting it much faster on the roadmap now That means for some of you maybe you don't want to buy until that's on the roadmap But this is how we as a community vote with our dollars and let these companies know what we prefer as a product All right now that you've got all the history and for those curious like Is the company viable and are they a solid group of people that are smart and know what they're doing? Well, let's talk about that now I want to bring that up because someone had suggested and yes, this is true They are people who used to work at ubiquity. This is actually something really interesting I notice this is built on a qualcomm ipq 50 18 system on a chip And that is also similar chips that are used over in building the unify access points It's also bit with open wrt as a base and then customized accordingly So it works a whole lot like ubiquity in terms of the base os and chips they use Which explains why the coverage is so good the coverage on this when I had swapped it for About a couple weeks at my office and even longer at my house here Where my studio is I just didn't have any problems. It worked exactly like it matter of fact to say I had no problems is to say nobody noticed I swapped the wi-fi which is pretty cool So swapping the wi-fi didn't cause all the streaming devices We have the phones the computers etc to have any issues at all I just matched the ssid's and it worked now Let's jump over to the web interface because I think they did a nice job on this And I'm hoping it's the same web interface we get when they get the local controller going So let's jump over and take a look at that now The devices are extremely easy to adopt put them in where they need to be move them around between different sites Yes, they've got multi-sites set up in here So I have settings for my house have settings for my office You can just hit the poll down here say lts office tom's house customize it They have a site manager adding new sites renaming sites pretty good start for a base But there's a few things that make it kind of unfinished So I can see the ip mac addresses real-time information. We can see the network devices here There's only one here at my house. I can rename it You can click on it because this is one thing that was a little bit confusing is where do you change settings on it Some things are clickable some things are not when we actually click the device itself We get this menu that comes up so we can make more changes They have kind of a novel way of coloring them adding colors to Group different wi-fi access points together in different ways and apply group settings to them I thought this was pretty simple the way they did this management vlan fallback upon failure always on no This is kind of a weird one here And I don't know why they defaulted to know chris commented That's the same enabling this will keep the wi-fi broadcasting from this ap even if the internet goes down Why would you want that off by default where if you lose internet you suddenly lose connectivity I guess it probably doesn't matter for an average home user because if the internet's not working That's usually the only reason to use some wi-fi But you know I have local things I'm hosting that if the internet goes down I can still watch things that are locally on my local servers They have the ability to migrate between sites. That's nice the wi-fi scanning and the quick scan full scan I can do this without disrupting things. That's actually a really nice feature that you can do these scans Look at your wi-fi and they're using an extra Unit antenna on there That is not going to take down your wi-fi while doing it and it works really fast speed is definitely king here I'm happy with the way the interface is and so responsive Including when you have different devices on your network. They show up here very quickly Back over to the dashboard. What feels incomplete though is The fact that we have 44 applications of some sort that I can't click on to get more information They are doing dpi so I can see that google quick is taking up this much But what for what devices are using it? Where's the further detail? The chromecast here is doing something Uploading downloading, but it doesn't tell me what this is kind of a weird disconnect in my opinion But also an opportunity for them to improve where we can see the top applications But then actually tie them to a device now Ideally this is something that's going to be better suited to your firewall to be able to give you better dpi information But it's still kind of neat that you have some of this dpi information But what I do think is very helpful is that you at least have real-time information for each device For the amount of bandwidth that's using the downside is there's not a lot of cumulative bandwidth because well Top active devices and we have to go back to the devices and find them But we can sort some of the traffic tx rates or what channel it's on You don't really get the history that I click on these and see like a whole dpi history for any of these devices Back to that would be better suited for a firewall to do but they have some Roads that they're going down. I think with this that are going to be interesting doing this at a device level And consolidating it all into their dashboard. Now one thing that's really cool The killer trick they have is one ssid to rule them all I think this is a neat feature. What am I talking about? We have the ability to set a password. So if we set the password here, we can save it But then we can add another password So we can set another password here and we can add another password And this is just a really clever way to Distinguish what network you belong to with one ssid I think this is just a really innovative feature I can't really name other vendors that I have run into where I've seen this feature But you can now have a single ssid and the password that they go to then gives you the ability and we go down here We can tag the vlan set a data rate for uploads and downloads Have a hotspot schedule You can even have filtering back to the dpi does allow you to add a Filter to this but the filtering is per ssid not per network This is a pretty neat feature that you can say let's make my guest password this So this is a guest one. We can apply all those rules here This is where my iot devices go and I only have to have one broadcasting and that lands them where they need to go This is really clever and one thing that like I said, I just kind of nodded my head going This would solve quite a few problems for people and they have some other advanced options If you have some very specific needs that you can do here My final thoughts on this is this is a really good not just first gen product that works But really good product it's impressive that for first gen that they got something out that is so complete all the way to Market but this goes as I said to the fact that they've hired some really good ubiquity engineers And all the conversations I had with them one on one were really engaging and definitely they're listening to the community So I find it to be very competent as a company I am doing this video as I said in the beginning not because it's sponsored But I wanted to do it after they sent me the devices and I would like to see this company very much succeed The fact that they're listening to the community and change their roadmap from when I first talked to them to when I talked to them last that yeah, they really want to get that local controller out there awesome I want to see more companies doing that the device itself works so well the connectivity I don't have any problems to report the several weeks It was at my office and the time it spent here at my studio slash house All the devices worked just as they did when I had them connected to ubiquity. I didn't have drops I didn't have devices that just wouldn't connect or were spotty the coverage seemed to be exactly the same Christian crosstalk I said has some speed tests on his Review of these so if you're wondering just how much in performance they are they're quite similar But hey, watch this video link down below. Please leave some comments that you'd like them to get that roadmap finished That's probably going to be a big sticking point for when you decide you'd like to purchase these But hey, I'm looking forward to more products from the company They have some network switches that I don't think are available just yet here in june of 2023 But it's on their roadmap as well. I don't know what else is coming in from that company But hey, if they get these things right, this is something awesome that I'd like to be able to say Hey, here's another competitively priced locally hosted option that you can choose From a good team of people that are experienced at building good products So give them a thumbs up for everything they've done so far and looking forward to what they do in the future Leave your comments and thoughts down below because we already know also labs is reading some of those So hey mentioned to them that you'd like to see a controller Like and subscribe if you want to see more content from here And if you want to connect with me hit me up on the different socials or head or two forums dot lorencsystems.com Where we can have a more in-depth discussion about this and other videos that I've talked about on this channel and thank you


beautiful bituminous. The city of Bemidji is another step closer to making three intersections of crosswalks more stylish. The purpose of the decorative crosswalks is to make the vehicular traffic more aware of pedestrians crossing and provide a pedestrian crossing to the downtown. Crosswalks at the intersections of highway 197 at 5th street, 3rd street, and 2nd street will get the upgrade. Federal funds will cover 80% of the construction costs and the city is responsible for the remainder 20% plus 100% of the design and inspection costs. This project has been in has been three years in the making all thanks to a grant. We applied three years ago and we got the we were selected as one of the projects for 2017 and as I stated because of the MnDOT project we're going to do this project in 2018. So the federal grant pays for 80% of the construction cost. Now while the project is expected to help drivers on the highway 197 take notice of pedestrians and remind them to slow down, the city of Bemidji views this project as another way to set Bemidji apart from other communities. During a work session last night, Bemidji City Council members voted on their favorite layout and designs. I think you'll see more of this being used. It's going to be interesting to see just how much it does cost but hopefully if it's as they say it's a long durable product and it lasts eight to ten years right now as I think everybody knows you drive there and you paint a crosswalk on a busy street and nine months later it's like where did the crosswalk paint go? The city is slated to receive federal funds in 2018 to construct the thermoplastic colored crosswalks.
