Hello, I'm Devinder Malhotra,

the Chancellor of Minnesota State.

On behalf of the faculty, staff and leadership

on all of our campuses it is indeed my privilege

and honor to welcome you to this academic year.

Whether you are a new or continuing student

congratulations on choosing a transformative path

that'll help guide your journey to a bright future.

The school you attend is one of the 30 public colleges

and seven public universities

within the Minnesota State System.

Each and every one of our campuses is deeply committed

to being a place of hope and opportunity

for people just like you who dream of becoming

our state's next generation of professionals and leaders

no matter who they are and where they come from.

That means you may meet women and men of every gender

and orientation, every race and color, every ethnicity

and national origin, every income level

and social status and physical ability.

I'm proud that all of you have chosen a Minnesota

state college or university from which to learn and grow.

Last spring the colleges and universities

of Minnesota State were proud to graduate 40,000 students.

We asked a few of them, and some faculty as well,

to offer advice to others who are on the same journey.

Here is what they had to say.

It was hands on.

It was good.

We got right into it and did everything right away.

We weren't just in a classroom talking about it.

We were in the shop doing it.

I'm feeling confident enough to start my own business.

There's always people that you can ask like, hey,

I'm not doing so good in this subject.

It doesn't matter if you are struggling or not.

If you really try the faculty, the staff will help.

They'll get you through it.

Our students are always gonna come prepared.

We hear that comment over and over again from employers.

We know that when we hire one of your graduates

they are gonna be ready to go from day one.

Building that hands on experience is definitely

what I'll be able to take from this school.

I've made so many friends and I've gone

through so much to get to where I am today.

It was a great four years here.

I learned a lot and I met a lot of great people.

It was fun.

I find inspiration in these graduates' words

and I hope you do too.

But look, we know going to college can be tough,

classes are challenging and you may be juggling

responsibilities outside of the classroom.

If you find yourself struggling in a class

or feeling as though you might not make it

through this semester or you might not make

it to graduation, be sure to ask for help.

All the faculty and staff throughout

the Minnesota State System are your active partners.

They are invested in your success and they can identify

resources to help you to stay on track,

not only inside the classroom but outside of class too.

Remember, stay focused on your goals because with help

you can persevere through the challenges

that will surely come your way.

Good luck and best wishes for a very successful year.

US Navy Admiral planned Pearl Harbor attack in 1932 - Duration: 5:29.

An American admiral launched an almost perfect

carrier attack on Pearl Harbor during an exercise in 1932,

but the military failed to learn its lesson,

allowing the Japanese to launch almost exactly

the same attack nine years later.

Rear Admiral Harry E. Yarnell

was an early proponent of aircraft carriers,

but his displays of air power

were discounted by most of the admiralty.

The aircraft had only been invented

30 years earlier in 1903.

But almost immediately the military

started to look at how to use the technology in combat.

Now, different military branches

from different nations moved at different speeds,

and many navies considered planes

an observation platform and nothing more.

In World War I, pilots bombed enemy targets

by throwing munitions from their planes.

But aerial bombing was still considered a stunt by many,

and the U.S. Navy brass was convinced

that airplanes were not a threat to their capital ships.

Between the wars, aviation pioneers

tried to get the Navy and Army to understand

how important aircraft would be

in the next war.

Army General William Billy Mitchell had some success

in 1921 when his men sank the captured German battleship

Ostrfriesland in a test.

I don't know how to pronounce Ostrfriesland.

They wanted me to get it right,

they should have won the war.

But I'm glad they didn't.

Eleven years later,

Yarnell was given command of the attacking force

in an annual exercise to test the U.S. defenses

at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

The defenders were certain that he,

like all of his predecessors,

would launch his attack using his battleships and cruisers.

Instead, he turned to his carriers.

Yarnell ordered his cruisers to remain near San Diego

in complete radio silence

while his two carriers, the USS Lexington and USS Saratoga,

proceeded to Pearl Harbor with three destroyer escorts

inside a massive rainstorm that hid them

from enemy observers and radar.

On the morning of Sunday, Feb. 7, 1932,

the attacking fleet was in position

and Battleship Row was essentially asleep,

just like Dec. 7, 1941.

And, except for Japan's use of modified torpedoes

and the size of the respective fleets,

the attacks were nearly mirrors of one another.

The fighters took off first, F-4Bs.

They launched strafing runs against the defenders' fighters,

barracks, and other assets, keeping them from taking off.

Behind them, flights of BM-1 dive bombers dropped flares

and bags of flour that simulated bombs,

destroying every single battleship

and many of the other vessels.

Like the Japanese,

Yarnell attacked from the northeast and,

like the Japanese, he attacked in the wee hours

of a Sunday morning.

The referees of the exercise

declared Yarnell the clear winner,

but later reversed their decision

when Pearl Harbor admirals and generals complained

that Yarnell acted in an unfair manner.

Their complaints included that Sunday morning

was an inappropriate time for an attack.

Attacking on a Sunday morning?

That's like attacking on Christmas!

Who would do that? ♪ The king of the spot ♪

♪ Doing my thing ♪

♪ It's real good ♪

♪ And the call me king ♪ ♪ Big bad tricks under my wing ♪

- They also doubted the capability of their enemy

to even pull off that kind of ambush.

Sound familiar?

It's kind of like the time a Marine general

war-gamed a fictional Iran against the US military and won.

Check out the video about it.

The US military tapped Lieutenant General Paul Van Riper

to lead the Red opposing forces

in the most expensive military exercise in history.

Unfortunately for the United States,

the Japanese had naval officers

at their consulate on Oahu in 1932

who witnessed the exercise

and read the press coverage that followed,

allowing them to report on it to their superiors

almost 10 years before Japan launched its own attack.

The bulk of the U.S. military refused to accept the result.

In 1941, average sailors and soldiers

paid the price for their hubris.

But could the 1941 attack against Pearl Harbor

have been prevented anyway?

Exhaustive investigations concluded

that there were many factors that contributed

to the overwhelming defeat that day.

The warnings from the past were ignored.

Intelligence was misread or unshared.

Assets were spread thin throughout the Atlantic

and Pacific theaters.

But mostly, the Americans underestimated the Japanese,

just like in 1932.

The architect of the attack, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto,

determined that war with America was inevitable,

and also unwinnable.

Therefore, Japan must strike hard enough on the first day

to destroy American morale,

quote, to such an extent

that it could not be recovered.

Unquote.

Their plan was to lead the world in exploiting

the lethal capabilities of aircraft carriers.

For eleven months, they prepared in secret,

and finally on November 26th,

the strike fleet set out across the Pacific.

The next day, the Chief of Naval Operations in Washington,

Harold Stark, sent out a warning to all U.S. Navy outposts

in the Pacific.

Intelligence suggested Japanese action in the Philippines

or Southeast Asia.

But as the warning didn't mention Hawaii,

U.S. Admiral Husband E. Kimmel,

the commander of the Pacific Fleet,

failed to predict the imminent threat.

The morning of December 7, 1941,

two privates reported an unusually high spike

on their early warning oscilloscope

and finally decided to report it to Fort Shafter,

but were allegedly told to disregard.

There just had never been such an attack in the history

of naval warfare.

Japan sent six aircraft carriers

with over three hundred and fifty planes.

A date that would live in infamy.

19 U.S. ships and over 300 aircraft

were damaged or destroyed.

2,403 Americans were killed

and another 1,178 wounded.

It would be nearly four years of brutal war

until Japan finally surrendered.

(suspenseful music)

How to Become a US Army Sniper? - Duration: 4:14.

Forty six candidates arrive at the US Army's Sniper School in Ft.

Benning, Georgia every seven weeks.

Typically only 4 graduate.

Think you have what it takes?

That's what we'll find out today, in this episode of The Infographics Show- how to become

a US Army sniper.

Pulling the trigger is only half the battle.

You're going to need to know more than just guns; excellent proficiency in physics and

mathematics is a must-have for any would-be sniper.

When your only job on a battlefield is to be accurate, and a single shot could turn

the tide of a battle, a US Army sniper must be able to calculate the effect that wind,

gravity, distance, and even the Coriolis Effect- the effect of the earth's rotation on a moving

object- will all cumulatively have on a bullet as it travels through the air.

Before you even get to sniper school though, you'll undergo the Army Physical Fitness Test

with your home unit, and you're expected to earn top marks.

You'll also need experience as an infantry, cavalry, or special forces soldier, and you

must have earned an extremely high score in the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery.

Next, you'll undergo a thorough psychological evaluation, since you'll be spending most

of your career alone in a 2-man crew, and the US Army needs to know that you have the

mental fortitude to handle the pressures of the job and isolation both.

Let's say you pass all those requirements and make it to day 1 of sniper school though...well,

the first thing you can expect is yet another physical fitness test followed by a marksmanship

test with the M-4 assault rifle using only iron sights.

Fail either test and that's it for you, you go home.

At the start of your second week, you'll be faced with your next pass-or-fail test: you

and your class will camouflage yourself on one of the school's wilderness courses and

maintain your position for hours while instructors search for you with high powered optics.

You'll be expected to ignore the scorching Georgia heat, crawling ants, spiders, snakes

and other creepy crawleys; if you move or are spotted, you automatically fail the course.

You'll also undergo target detection training, and you'll be taught to use your eyes, binoculars

and rifle scope to detect targets.

These skills will be tested throughout the week, and failure means you go home.

Weeks three through five will pair you with another student, and you'll both swap as shooter

and spotter.

The spotter is responsible for calculating wind and other environmental effects, feeding

his shooter the critical data needed to make an accurate shot.

Throughout these three weeks, you'll spend your time either in the classroom are at the

range, testing your mental fitness and marksmanship both.

If you fail any of your marksmanship tests, you go home.

You'll spend week six learning how to shoot from different positions, as a sniper rarely

ever shoots from the famous prone firing position.

You'll be forced to contort your body uncomfortably, hold the position for hours at a time, and

still deliver an accurate shot to a predetermined target.

Failure means you go home.

Your final and seventh week will be a test of all your previous lessons.

You will plan and execute a sniper and countersniper mission, undergoing urban infiltration and

hide setup techniques.

You'll then move to the woods and learn to build subsurface hides, meticulously camouflaged

holes in the ground where a sniper may live for days at a time in a real-world mission.

Finally you'll undergo a final culmination exercise which will test your skills in stalking,

detecting a target, estimating range, and accurate shooting.

Failure in any element of the course means- you guessed it- you go home.

The US Army employs some of the deadliest snipers in the world, and of all that apply,

only a tiny percentage will ever reach graduation.

Think you have what it takes?

Who do you think was the deadliest sniper of all time?

Let us know in the comments.

See you next time!

US Senate Candidate Beto O'Rourke Gets Candid on His DUI - Duration: 2:38.

When you're in politics, they dig up every single thing

they can on you.

And so you have to know that things are going to come out.

And recently-- well, they already

knew that you had a DUI 20 years ago.

You were 26?

I was 26, just turned 26.

So you had a DUI.

And then recently, now, there are new details.

And I just want you to be able to talk about that.

Yeah.

20 years ago, I drove drunk, a terrible mistake.

There's no explanation or justifying that.

Since then, I've gone on with friends to start a business,

with Amy to raise a family, serving my community

in the United States Congress.

And in many ways, that mistake did not define me.

I was able to go on and do these things.

But I know, to some degree, that's a function of the fact

that I'm a white man in this country.

I know that if I were African-American,

if I had been arrested with marijuana,

it might be very hard for me to then get a job.

I'd have to check a box on an application form.

I couldn't finance my student loans.

That might very well narrow my choices and options in life,

as it does for so many in a country that has the largest

prison population on the face of the planet, one

that is disproportionately brown and black.

I want to make sure that everyone has a second chance.

That's a lesson that I take from this and something

that I want to use as motivation to make things better

for others who may have made mistakes in their lives.

[APPLAUSE]

All right.

So you are-- I mean, I'm from New Orleans,

and I lived in Texas for a short amount of time, Atlanta, Texas.

So I know what humidity is, and I know what the South is.

You've decided to take a road trip

to go to every single county--

you said 34?

How many?

So there's 254 counties of Texas.

We've now visited every one of them,

had town halls in most of them.

So you decided August was a good time

to go take a road trip in a car, not a bus.

But you drove.

Right.

Yeah.

Look at you.

I mean-- so I have a gift for you,

because if you're going to do this--

all right, stand up.

Yeah.

OK.

[LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE]

All right.

Is that good?

Oh, here we go.

I'm feeling it.

How's that?

It feels good.

And then you've got your advertisement right there.

It's fantastic.

What do you all think?

[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]

All right, everybody, please, please

remember to vote on November 6.

No matter who it's for, your vote does count.

We'll be right back.

WHY IRAN'S AIR FORCE IS NO MATCH FOR U.S AIR FORCE ? - Duration: 4:53.

The relations between Iran and U.S.A has gone downhill after U.S has decided to quit from

Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly called the Iran nuclear deal in May.

Trump administration has expressed its intention to reapply sanctions on Iranian oil exports

that had earlier been suspended through the deal.

It is increasingly likely that the United States will push its allies to completely

stop importing Iranian oil.

Iran has threatened to restart its nuclear program as well as close The Strait of Hormuz.

In that case, the situation will escalate further, and there is a chance of a conflict.

In every modern-day conflict, air power plays a crucial role and it's the topic for this discussion.

In this video Defense Updates, analyses why Iran's Air Force is no match for U.S Air Force?

Let's get started.

Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) used to be one of the largest and most powerful

air forces in the world.

But things have gone bad to worse and it has now become a mere shadow of its former self.

Multiple wars and sustained sanctions have taken their toll.

International arms embargo resulted in difficulty in obtaining spare parts for its aging fleet

of air force jets let alone buying new once.

The IRIAF now consists of mostly outdated fighters whose operational availability is

also suspect.

The MiG-29 is the most capable fighter of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force.

It has only 20 of these.

Other fighters include Sukhoi Su-24, Sukhoi Su-22, Chengdu F-7, Northrop F-5, F-4 Phantom

II, Grumman F-14 and Mirage F1, totaling to about 150.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Air Force which is a separate air arm and part

of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has about 10 ex-Iraqi Su-25 "Frogfoot" fighters.

There is no long-range bomber and there is also no AWACS which is a major issue.

Compare this with U.S Air Force which has almost 2000 fighter jet that includes around

187 F 22 Raptor 5th generation fighters which are considered the most potent fighter in

the world.

Apart from that U.S has dedicated long-range bomber including stealthy B 2 Spirit as well

it has a flotilla of very capable AWACS.

The U.S also has 10 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers which can be deployed through the

Arabian Sea.

Nimitz-class displaces about 100000 tonnes and spans 333 meters long.

Each of these is capable of carrying more than 60 fighter jets.

The Nimitz strike fighters are primarily F18 Hornets and F18 Super Hornets.

These are twin-engine carrier-capable 4+ generation multirole fighter aircraft designed for land

and air attacks.

Through Nimitz class carriers, U.S will be able to bring the fight to Iran from the sea.

Further, if we take other factors like superior training, better tactic and higher manpower

availability U.S Air Force is placed far ahead of IRIAF.

Iran and Russia were discussing for the sale and coproduction of 48 Su-30.

This would have given Iran's Air Force much-needed teeth.

But this didn't materialize due to issues of price and technology transfers.

In 2013, Iran revealed a prototype fighter jet named Qaher-313 "stealth fighter".

But the very small design seemed unrealistic with pilot's knees being visible in the

cockpit.

Most experts dismissed the prototype as nothing more than a mock-up.

In 2017, when the fighter appeared again, it seemed larger but the overall design's

credibility is still suspect.

With no new fighters bought and no fighter manufactured domestically, Iran's Air Force

is in a dire state.

Keeping all these into consideration it can be safely said that Iran's Air Force is

in no shape to counter the American airpower.

If a conflict starts, U.S will have complete air superiority within a few days and will

be able to dictate the battle from then onwards.

N. Korea again calls for U.S. to declare an end to Korean War - Duration: 0:45.

Just a day before South Korea's delegation was due to leave for Pyongyang,... North Korea

again called for an official end to the Korean War.

North Korea's foreign ministry said through its official website on Tuesday,... that declaring

an end to the Korean War.... is the first step to achieving peace on the Korean Peninsula,...

which will also lead to improved ties with the U.S.

According to the statement written by Kim Yong-guk, director of the ministry's Disarmament

and Peace Institute,... unlike a peace treaty,... "political determination" is all it takes

to declare an end to the war.

The statement also demanded that Washington take corresponding action to the efforts made

by Pyongyang.... to implement the Panmunjom Declaration and the Sentosa Agreement.
