Sometimes it's difficult to cross over, particularly where there isn't that support within your institution or within the placement. The aim of this is to try this out. For us, the feedback is very important. I would also like to encourage you to contribute as we go along. I'm going to just do a few short slides firstly about the kind of data you might see, and then invite you to comment from either your experience to data or what you expect from the organisations you're going through. I'm then going to talk a bit about skills and tools. The main part of the section is really what we have to offer. There's a couple of useful tools for some of the work that you might be expecting to do. As Jill said, if you have any questions, just pop them in the Q&A. We might pick them up as we go along or at the end of particular segments. First of all, the system data that was collected by the government is published every week. At the end of the week, they consolidate the number of positive COVID tests. I picked out some of the MSOAs, actually, their mid-level super-out areas that are relevant that you might understand. There's a university park there, Lenton, around Arboretum, City Centre, and a couple of places in Wallatons and Towns. What these show is the number of cases per week that have been reported. You could look at those and say, well, actually, before Christmas, the numbers were pretty high in Lenton, and they've come down, and you can make a fist of explaining that. The way we tend to report these is to use what's called a rate. The standard rate for this is, for some reason, the cases per 100,000. What you can see now is that I've standardised those cases, so it's easier to compare between the different areas. In particular, if you look at the Wallaton area and St Anne's East, they're much smaller than the other areas. If we just compared the numbers as raw numbers, we'd have had quite a different rate. The rate in St Anne's East is quite high, whereas the number wouldn't appear out of place against some of the other areas. That's just a quick way of thinking about how you present numbers. You may well be presented with tables of data that just have counts in them. If you're going to translate them, it's something useful. Percentages or rates are useful. In terms of looking at COVID, as I said, the protocol has to be to look at cases per 100,000. In terms of other areas, you might be looking at rates. If you're looking at employment rates between different wards in the city, you might want to translate those into percentages. I pulled this population from statistics released as a mid-year population. You will need to find an effective denominator that tells you how many people are in that particular geography. Moving on from here, the other big source of data you have is what I've called administrative data. Generally, this has to be collected as part of the operation of the organisation you're working with. It might be individual records. If you're working in a small charity, it might be a paper register of people who come in and use the services of the charity. If you're working somewhere larger, it might be electronic. It might be a row like in a spreadsheet. It might include numbers, words, and it may also include things like sounds. You may have an interview, which is an individual record of talking to someone, but it would be an audit. The first thing to think about with that kind of data, if you're asked to analyse it, is how do the organisation do it? The second question to ask is, does your analysis need to be repeated? I think this brings us on to an important area, but if it needs to be repeated, you need to do it in a way that somebody else who's not you in the future can carry it out, which means you're also going to be writing a set of instructions and using tools that somebody else can acquire the skills to use fairly easily. There's another factor to think about. If you're asked to look at a task with administrative data, those are the two key questions I would say. How does the organisation do it and it hasn't done it yet? Does your analysis need to be repeated? The second type of data to think about is secondary data. This is stuff that's already collected and held in archives like our own, the UK Data Service Archive. It might include service surveys, it might include census, it might include qualitative data, interview recordings or transcripts, evidence from focus groups, photographs or documents. If you're using secondary data, you know that it's already been collected. For many people, the assumption is that correcting your own data is best. I would say, from my experience, using other people's data that's already been collected and validated is generally more effective for most pieces of work that you would need to do. Clearly, if the data isn't there, you might need to think about the next area, which is primary data. This is where the organisation might have decided or might be part of your task to help to understand issues by producing surveys or doing interviews or collecting data. There's a few things to think about here. I think the first is, how do you design a good survey? One piece of advice I would give you is to have a look at those that are around. For example, if you're doing a survey on food needs, then it's probably quite important to understand the type of household you're working with. How old are the children? Is it a couple of single parents? What's their living circumstances? What's their cooking circumstances? You've got some picture of where that service is meeting its needs. We call those things demographic characteristics. Typically, they include things like age, sex, household structure, ethnicity, maybe migration status, et cetera. The kind of things that say who we are. If you're collecting qualitative data, I think you probably need to think very much about how you store it. If a survey is on paper or on electrically, you would need to store it. But surveys tend to look after themselves in that way because to analyse them, you're going to put them into some kind of computer software, which likely you are. Whereas with qualitative data, you might be writing a set of notes, or you might be doing a transcript, taking audio recording, and then doing a transcript. The way you store those other people can use them, again, needs some thought and needs discussion with the organisation you're working with. Do they regard the data sensitive? Do you have to take particular safeguards to make sure that it can't be accessed by other people, et cetera? So, just to move on from there very quickly with skills and tools, my experience of working with placements over a few years was that most organisations tended to use Excel for numerical data. Some of the organisations you work with may have their own databases to collect their operational data, and they may also have reporting tools available to allow you to analyse it to use it. So, those are the things that you would unlikely to find available. Whereas in universities, we often use quite expensive software, partly because we get it cheap, but we use statistical packages like SPSS, Stata, mapping software like ArcGIS, but that may be far too expensive for many of the organisations you'll be working with. So, in terms of general advice on this topic, I would say if you're doing something that the organisation needs to do again or another placement student needs to do when they return, use the tools the organisation do for work, or commonly available tools or free tools, but if you're doing a one-off project, a research project, then use the tools either the ones you're familiar with or the ones you want to learn. So, the UK Data Service is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, which is the part of the UK research infrastructure funding organisation, particularly targeted at social sciences. So, it's a simple point of access to a wide range of secondary social science data, and also we develop support training guidance. So, we run a number of events, quite a lot of general ones so that people can enroll on them from all over, and some specific ones like this and others for particular audiences. And these are the kind of topics we cover. So, this is not an exhaustiveness, but this is trying to pull together what we look at. So, if you're interested in the employment of work, we hold a labour first survey, which is done every quarter, and there's a component which is the same people who ask questions over five quarters. A larger part of that collection is the annual population survey, which uses less questions, but carries a lot of information or collects a lot of information about the politics, the population of the country. And in terms of health, the health survey for it, we hold the health survey for England, the Scottish health survey, and other related health surveys. Family finances, there's a couple of big surveys there, one on family resources, one on living costs. The crime surveys for England, Wales and Scotland. A whole set of things around attitudes and opinions, and housing in the local environment. So, these are national surveys. We'll talk a little bit more about them, but we hold those. So, you're okay. So, you can access information about these areas. These are quite large surveys. Many are held annually, and some ask the same people, others ask a random group of people. So, for example, all the English Housing Survey is what's called cross-sectional. So, a random group are picked each year, and they are asked a series of questions about their housing conditions, their attitudes to housing, and so on. And those are used, it's commissioned by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government, and they're used, and they can provide, I suppose, the reason for telling you these things, is these can provide a backdrop of national, or the national picture that would inform priorities for your local organisation. So, it might inform some questions you would ask. So, if you're looking at poverty and debt, things that you might be able to find out from the Family Resources Survey about what kind of people are experiencing poverty and debt might be useful for you to be able to compare national into what's going on with what's in. So, the target audience is basically most people. I think the one kind of provider in there is because this is public, publicly funded data that's collected basically for the public good, there is a kind of question mark over commercial use of the data, and it may be chargeable to that audience. But as long as it's in the public interest, it would still be able to be used. But here in this set of people we talk about, quite often the business consultants are people who will be working with local organisations, local charitable organisations, et cetera. So, you fall into the category of academic research as a student. Government departments use it quite extensively as do charities and foundations, business consultants, independent research centres, and think tanks. So, we have a large potential audience who use things, and I think there's probably less use made of this data by smaller local organisations that could be improved, that would be improved through working with you so that you're aware of it. So, I think that's one of the reasons placement students are a target audience for us is to think about the skills and knowledge you take into smaller organisations who may not have the skills themselves to access the kind of data and tools we have that could be useful to them. So, the data generally comes from an official agency, mainly central government. There are some international data sets that are collected from organisations like the World Bank and the IMF. Research institutions who are funded by the UK research bodies may be required to deposit their data, so you would find some data that's held in the archives which has been collected by other research projects and individual academics. In terms of market research agencies, most of the data that's deposited by them is where they've been commercially contracted by public bodies to do the data collection. There may also be public records and historical sources. Focusing on surveys, first of all, they hold data about individuals or households. They're often commissioned by government departments, so the health service commissioned by the Department of Health, etc. They're conducted by organisations such as the Office for National Statistics, the National Centre for Social Research, etc. They include characteristics with key sample sizes. So, the aim of doing this kind of survey is to be able to say something about the stake of the country in terms of a particular area. So, if you're talking about world of work and employment, then the aim is that you can make assumptions because we've got a large enough sample about what the national picture is. And we use similar questions with the new sample people every time, often repeated regularly. So, the English Housing Survey is a repeated cross-sectional survey. So, who is an example of one that is one every year? Quite often, you will have seen news headlines about issues like Brexit and immigration as you've been growing up more recently probably about inequality. And a lot of the reporting of this comes, an analysis of this comes from this survey, the British Social Attitude Survey. It's been run every year since 1983. It covers social attitudes on a range of topics. And there are annual reports on the key topics. So, the chart on the right shows whether people think income distribution is fair in Britain. And the difference is shown between England and Scotland. And what it seems is that as a group of people in the country, near a bit more than half of us think income distribution is unfair. But there's a larger proportion in England who think it's fair or very fair than in Scotland. So, that topic of inequality has been one of the focuses. So, if you're interested in particular attitudes within the population that affect the service, then this survey might be a useful one to look into. The Health Survey has masses of data. It takes eight hours, details from eight thousand adults and two thousand children approximately each year. It asks questions about their experiences and attitudes towards health. Also takes clinical measurements, so height, blood pressure, weight and biological samples. And this chart comes from that. And it's basically showing who's been drinking more than the recommended weekly amount by age and sex. So, I have something obscuring the top right of my screen, but the darker bars are men and the lighter bars are women. And then we have a breakdown into 10-year age bands. So, we can see that men kind of, you know, around one in four men are drinking too much, up to the age of 45, and then it drops up to one in four, up to 75, and then it drops again when people hit 75. So, this is about those people who have answered the question. So, if you were to say, where is the problem of drinking age for men, I would kind of guess around 45 to 65, because that looks like where it's high. That's the group you'd want to intervene in, where you may be presenting, preventing alcohol-related diseases, etc. With women, it's slightly younger and also that young age group is quite worried, where women are drinking more than men. That's the only age group where that's happening. But that's just me reading off it. But if you're interested in health, then you might be able to get some ideas about the national picture that would then you would be able to compare to what you knew about Nottingham, where your organisation was running different types of interventions. And then here we have the English Housing Survey. So, on the right here is what's been generated from the survey by the authors, and that's an infographic. So, it's basically saying how has the proportion of household in the private rented sector behaved over the last three or four years. Now, I'm quite cynical about the way statistics are used, I suppose, because what we're seeing there is a very small drop, but it looks quite big on that chart, doesn't it? So, it's gone from 20.3 to 18.7. So, that's 1.6%, which is less than a 10% drop. Is that significant? We don't know because we don't really know the denominator either at the moment. But I'm a cynic about that data, but it might be useful. So, if you're saying you're looking at housing in Nottingham, how many households in the private rented sector and has that number gone down in line with what's happened nationally? Or has it increased? A further question might be what kind of households in the private rented sector? So, many students will be living in the private rented sector in Nottingham for those at the university, possibly around Lenton, Dunkirk, for those in Nottingham Trent, maybe up towards Arboretum and Forest. But those numbers are a particular type of household. Most students who leave the halls after their first year would expect to live in the private rented sector. Whereas I suppose many people with children might expect to be living in the private rented sector later on as their children start to go on. And the other thing that happens is the way the map shows where the highest number are, the lowest, and those are in the private rented sector outside London. So, that infographic was derived from the survey. And we could have done that ourselves with a tool we're going to show later on and you're going to have a go at. The other thing that is worth understanding is longitudinal studies. So, these follow individuals over time. There are two types. So, one is where you have a household or an individual and you start asking them questions and you say, are you prepared to be part of this panel and we'll come back and ask you questions each year. So, some big examples include the British election study, which is used using a panel methodology, understanding society, which we're going to look at. But we also have specific cohort studies. So, looking at cohorts from who were born in particular years. So, the 1970 British cohort study is an example of that, the Millennium cohort study. And there's also an ageing one. So, these enable us to answer slightly different questions. It's probably getting quite complicated. I'll give you a couple of examples here, but it does enable us to say, well, what happens to somebody over that period of time. So, if you look at the English Long Student Study of Ageing, it's quite important to try and understand why people are well or not in later life. And my survey helps us to do that by asking people their previous historical experiences of work, of health, et cetera. So, the dataset that is probably the largest around has 40,000 households, 100,000 individuals, and has been running for 10 years, incorporates a previous survey of the household panel survey, has some useful things. So, in particular has an ethnic minority boosting mechanism, which for many surveys, data on ethnic attitudes or experiences is quite weak. This survey addresses that by this boost measure. It also collects some biomarkers, and there are options to link to other data that's held about individuals. And it covers a wide range of things. So, it covers areas like employment and earnings, benefit, political party, identification, household finance, environment, family life, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And there are questions added in as we go on. So, in response to COVID, there was a set of surveys carried out every two months by the understanding society team, covering household experiences of employment, education, income, health, and living conditions. So, what this chart shows, which is what I produced, was identifying the percentage of households in housing areas by ethnicity. And it showed quite a marked racial difference between Bandodeshi, one in four in housing areas, Pakistani and Black Africa, one in five, down to white British, which was more like one in 20. So, quite different experiences of this particular problem of being in housing areas by ethnicity, similar indicators around debt as well. So, that particular data was very useful. The last screen is just to cheer you up for those of you who love SBSS. Here is the way the data might be presented when you download it. So, typically, SBSS holds everything as numbers, and it holds the key to those numbers to translate them. So, looking across the top, we have the self-rated health. So, this comes on probably the health data set, sex, age, marital status, higher education achievements, and ethnicity. And as we go along, we can see how those are translated in the bottom table. So, saying two means you're in good health. Three is fair health. Two is female. One is male. The ages are in age bands. So, it looks like two is 25, 44, et cetera. So, it's in those 10-year age bands we were looking at before. Marital status again, re-level, no qualification, and ethnicity. So, what we can see when we use this data is a set of numbers in a table, but when we report on it, we will get the descriptive elements. So, we'll be able to see the state of people's health by gender, for example, in a typical table. So, that's the kind of stuff about survey data. We also hold qualitative data, though probably quite a lot less, because one of the issues here is that many researchers who carry out qualitative research don't feel comfortable leaving personal interviews, photographs or records of focus group discussions, because they are very easily tied to an individual. So, if you think of the secondary quantitative data, well, it's going to be quite hard to work out from all of those characteristics who a person is. Whereas when you come into qualitative data, then people may well be recognisable. So, we hold historical data that has gone past the point where it would be the person identifiable will matter. So, we hold census data from 1911 back to 1851 and the 1921 census data will go on. So, that is a kind of set of data that you can access with different conditions, but that's partly because the requirement to protect individual from disclosure about who they are as well. There is some qualitative data, some interview data, etc. So, you can look for that on there, but thinking about the qualitative data that might be particularly useful, I think a lot of people would look at newspapers and look at newspaper archives to explore issues. Again, you're not worried about disclosure once somebody has been written about in a newspaper, you can talk about them safely. An example here is this study that was a national child development study. So, there was a qualitative element which took interviews with 220 people looking at questions around neighbourhood and belonging, leisure activities, social participation, personal communities, life histories, identity and reflections on being part of that study. So, these are kind of quite useful. We give access to them. You'd also find in your local archives either at the university or in the council there will be archive material from things collected like oral history, etc. That may be of relevance to the work you're doing. So, what I want to do is to describe some of the other data there that might be relevant. So, we have a set of aggregate data generally about population groups, regions or countries. And this is an example of a world map of inequality. But the bit that might be very interesting for you is the census type data. So, first of all, this is just to give you an appreciation of how we might think of data. So, we take a space, we draw lines around it and we say here, these are the number of the population of that space. So, typically in Nottingham, you would draw lines around different types of geographical areas. So, you're probably familiar with the names of places rather than necessarily the boundaries of those places. So, when we talk about Lenton and Donkirk, you would kind of know where it is. But would you know where the boundaries actually are?  But if you don't vote in local elections, then you wouldn't necessarily know that. But when we come to looking at numbers and maps, we have this kind of quite useful set of data from the census. You're at a particularly difficult time in terms of census data because the last census in 2011 and the 2021 census data will only be released later this year. So, you're on light to be able to use the latest data. But it still may have some useful information as it's used as a baseline, has combinations of characteristics and small geographies. And you can get these kind of tables of data out. You can also look at individual characteristics of data. It has your baseline population, kind of employment occupation, social class qualifications, ethnicity, religion, et cetera, housing and tenure. Now, this may have changed since 2011, but it's still probably the most comprehensive source of information you're going to get unless you're working with an organisation like the council or a health service that collects its own data. So, you may well find you'll want to use this. Going back to the previous, the way to get aggregate data is from this link here, infuse, and you can create your tables and download them from there. I'll share these slides through Steve so that you can have a look at them yourselves. And for those of you who might be thinking about doing a placement, again next year there will be new information as well. So, the 2021 census will be available later on this year. And it also includes additional questions on sexuality, gender at birth and having been in the armed forces. So, if we think about what census data does, it's collected in specific geographies. And these geographies were developed in 2001 to be statistically relevant. So, they're called out for areas. They're based on the idea of trying to get similar places grouped together. So, they have a house of a number of people of 100 to 300. That makes an output area and then those are grouped into two bigger blocks, the lower super output area and middle air super output area. And depending on what kind of data you're looking at, then you will see these as the base for them. So, for example, the index of multiple deprivation uses lower level super output areas. The curve is statistics cases. I showed you use middle air super output areas. In Scotland and Northern Ireland you have slightly different things. But these are not real, but they have some advantages in that they tend to be relatively similar between censuses. And when you look within them, the people within them are more likely to be similar as opposed to having quite a wide range of the category you're looking at. You can also look at data through regions, counties, local authorities, wards and electoral divisions like parliamentary. So, the map on the right actually shows higher education participation by local authority where the darker green has higher levels of participation in higher education. Okay. So, I think I'll just now go onto the mechanics of getting in. So, the UK data service generally requires registration. So, a lot of the data, once you're registered, you can access it. And we'll talk about those different access regimes afterwards. If you're at a UK university, just use your username and password to log in. So, when you log into the UK data service, it'll just take you through the validation screen that you have for Nottingham University. So, to register simply clicking the button on the first page to register. I will go into the screens in a minute for the next, for one of the examples and come back over these a bit. So, the reason you need to register is because most of our data is held and requires a registered user. So, we have a tracker who's used it. So, we do have some open access data that's available with very few restrictions that might be publicly available like the international aggregate data from IMF and World Bank. Quite a lot of the census data, which again is publicly available, and the teaching data sets. But if you want to use real survey data, you need to register and agree to the conditions of the UK data service. Once you've done that, most data is available, most survey data is safeguarded. There may be some additional conditions for some data. And then the third level is unrealistic really for, is for researchers either doing postgraduate research or working as researchers in the university because it's using a secure access mechanism where your application is checked and it has to be used through a secure physical or virtual environment. This typically has a lot more detail. So, there's a much higher risk of identifying who the individuals are. So, it may include lower level geographies, which means that you can look at the combinations of characteristics together with the individual. A lot of business data, a lot of commercially sensitive data is held under these conditions to protect it for commercial reasons. Okay, so this is, I'm going to demonstrate this now. So, I think a good place to start if you're going to get going with this is the learning hub. So, I'm just going to switch over. We now have the front page of the UK data service. As I said before, you can click on that register button and it knows me because I'm from the university of Manchester, so I'll just simply click on that and it would log me in. For you, you might need to set up to start typing the name of your organisation and it would take you in. So, the place I suggest is starting was the learning hub. This has information. So, there's some stuff in here if you're new to using data and it has a description of what secondary data analysis is, some training interactive modules where you can develop skills, something about researching data, a section particularly for students versus students guide to the UK data service. Later on, if you're doing your dissertation, there's also information about dissertations and we run sessions targeted at dissertation students. So, we then got the data skills modules, stuff about survey data. So, the different types of data we've looked at, probably not relevant to your placement, but we have a group who are involved in computational social science, which is doing things like scraping Twitter and so on, sensors software and tools, and geography and data. Now, that one might be particular, a particular relevance to you, so you can think about generating local estimates and mapping data from other studies. So, a good place to start, I think, is that section. There's a number of interactive tools. There is, for example, a tool on mapping data using free GIS software if you want to do that. Right now, what I would then move on to doing is, once you're familiar with what you're doing, how do you find data? So, if we go into find data, I'll click on the front and I'm in the find the welcome. So, if I'm going to find something, I can just search for it. So, as a starter, I don't know what I'm looking for, but I want something about mental health. So, if I search for that, it will give me 250 results and looking at the first ones, a lot of them are about mental health trusts. Well, I'm actually interested about mental health and students. So, if I refine that search, what I then get is some more relevant information. So, student mental health during COVID-19 pandemic, a study by people at Birmingham, getting off to a mentally healthy start in doctoral study, which might be useful. And then, it goes away to something else that isn't so interesting. But so, the first thing, when you know what you're looking for, when you're not sure what you're looking for, might be just to go there. If I decide I want to look at this dataset, I can click on it and I would need to be, this data is open, so I can actually access it. And it's based on a depression anxiety scale. So, I could, without being logged in or registered, I could access this because the data is open. So, I think the reason for showing you that way into it is that I think you may well find it very useful if you are looking at a topic to be able to go and have a look at things like this, start to get some indications on what's going on nationally to inform local work and local analysis because it's always good to have a comparison. I suppose I know Nottingham reasonably well having worked there for three years, but it does seem to me there are some particular issues in Nottingham which organisations there will be involved with. So, there are particular issues around depth, around precarity. In common with many other kind of urban areas, Nottingham has the kind of level of deprivation that is probably higher than many of the areas, other areas in the country. So, if you're looking at any questions around data, around work, around employment, around health, then you've got these kind of resources to be able to tell you what the national picture is and to compare the kind of indicators being generated in Nottingham. Just to say something about the formats of data, it comes in once you get down to the survey data, you'll get it in SPSS or Stata format. You can also have it in .dat format, but unless you're familiar with SPSS, Stata or R, I would suggest you'd probably use a tool like Nestar, but other materials like that mental health survey may be included in databases or spreadsheets, and a lot of the material linked to the qualitative data will be in Word or PDF documents. So, in terms of what else we have, we do webinars and workshops on specific areas. So, for example, we're doing workshops this week on the labour force survey. We would do stuff on the health survey, we did stuff on the crime survey last month, and many of those are recorded so that you can go back and look at them if you're interested in them. We also have guides and video tutorials that you'll find through the learning hub initially. We have a topic set, so you can explore specific topics, and we also have some stuff on methods and software.

Hello and welcome. I am Samedha. In this episode of the Daily Roundup, we give you a glimpse of some of the most important stories that we report about here at NewsClick. Following the betrayal of the farmers by the Fadnavis government, after the first edition of the Kisan Long March last year, the farmers have embarked on a second historic edition of the Kisan March from Nashik, united under the banner of the All India Kisan Sabha. The state government has failed in fulfilling any of the promises it had made in the following march. Today, over 50,000 farmers have started their march from Nashik to Mumbai, despite continuous crackdowns by the state government. The Devendra Fadnavis government is already on its knees. It had sent its minister Girish Mahajan to try and convince the farmers from refraining to conduct the march. But the leaders of all India Kisan Sabha have made it very clear that the farmers won't stop until the concrete action is taken on their demands. The march is expected to conclude on February 27th in Mumbai. The farmers are marching ahead with a number of very important demands, which includes the minimum support price for farm produce, complete loan waiver, solution on irrigation related issues, proper insurance scheme for the farmers and the hike in the pension of the old farmers and food security. There are more details that will come about the march throughout the day and to follow that, please log on to our website. In a major blow to tribal rights, the Supreme Court has asked the governments of 17 states to evict close to 1 million tribals living in forests after their claims to the forest lands were rejected under the Forest Rights Act. The court has asked evictions to be carried out by July 12th and has also directed the Dehradun based Forest Survey of India to submit a satellite image based report on the encroachments removed. The move comes in an utter disregard for tribal rights, visible from its attempt to sell off tribal lands to corporates. The BJP government has failed to defend the Forest Rights Act as the Supreme Court has raised questions to the states regarding the action they have taken against the tribals. The order of the Supreme Court comes in a response to a petition claiming before the court that everyone whose FRA claims have been rejected be considered as encroachers and should be evicted. The court on February 13th had directed the states to review such rejections within a period of four months. The center, the Union Minister of Tribal Affairs and the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, which are the respondents in the case, have kept silent in the last four hearings. Amid the ongoing crackdown on freedom of expression across Indian universities, in a dictatorial move, the Delhi University administration has also gone ahead to ban protests altogether on campus. In an advisory which was issued on Saturday by Delhi University Proctor Neetu Sehgal, Delhi University students have been told not to occupy university premises for protests and dharanas. This has been done in order to maintain discipline in these acts as they cause disruption of the academic activities. The advisory is being seen as an attack on the fundamental rights of students. The attempt by the Delhi University administration to crackdown on students and that expression of dissent is being seen as an attempt to gag the students and their dissent. That's all that we have for you today on this episode of the Daily Roundup.

Hey everyone, Dylan Schumacher, Citadel Defense and today we're going to talk about a range tool bag. So I have kind of assembled a range tool bag. This is the bag that I've been using with all my tools to go out to the range for the past, I don't know, six-ish months, maybe three months, something like that, somewhere between three to six months. And they left this in my truck last night and apparently my bed cover has a leak in it so it got wet and I had to take it out and dry it out. And so I thought, hey, I should just make a quick video about that. So this isn't necessarily complete but these are the tools that I carry in this bag to have with me on the range and when I'm teaching in case something breaks and something goes down and yeah, I've already used it and it's been helpful.  That is awful. So just to start, this is the bag I carry it in. It's one of those roll-up tool pouch bags. Use a bunch of different kinds in Amazon, whatever, I just bought a random one. And it has four different kind of main compartments and then this little slip pouch here. So I carry just a standard adjustable crescent wrench because that's helpful for getting muzzle devices and stuff off, especially if they're not necessarily like a standard size, right, like on this AR armors wrench. So have an AR armors wrench. You definitely need that. Have the crescent wrench to fulfill the other duties and sometimes you need both if you're trying to get a muzzle device separated from a suppressor.  I've had it when suppressor seizes on to the muzzle device and then when I twist the suppressor off the muzzle device comes off the gun too, right. So that's to solve that problem. I have a couple different sets of pliers here, just the standard pliers, a bigger needle nose and then a tiny needle nose because again, I've needed all those for various purposes. I have a set of punches. I've never actually used these in the range, but I have had people rip their rear sights off on their pistols before and being able to have a set of punches to fix that would be helpful. I know you could have a rear sight tool, but again I'm not going to carry a whole rear sight tool just in my little range bag. This is the Fix-It Sticks. These are particularly helpful. All of these sizes pretty much match up to most of the gun sizes that I need. These are the bits. You can also torque things down to a specific torque poundage if you're into that, but this is a super helpful tool. I use this all the time. It wasn't cheap. I think it was like a hundred and some bucks, but that is a buy once, cry once tool. I have a couple different screwdrivers, just a larger flathead and then I have a small flathead and a small Phillips. Again, sometimes you just need that for twists and stuff on. I really should replace this with one of those screwdrivers that swaps out between Phillips and Flathead. I don't know why I don't have a Phillips in here, so I should probably remedy that. I have an old toothbrush here. That's one of my kids toothbrush. Look, it lights up and this is just for general cleaning purpose stuff like that. Paracord because you always need some paracord to fix something. If it's a broken sling or whatever, so you should definitely always have paracord on you. And then of course, a lighter to complement. Turns out I have two lighters, so I won't keep two in here. A knife to cut that paracord, of course. And again, it looks like I have two of them, so whatever. This is a micro screwdriver piece. It's usually for fixing glasses, but I keep this around again for those tiny little adjustments that you need on some like small optics and stuff like that. Here I have two black hair ties. This is just good for strapping the gear down, so sometimes you need like a hair tie to strap gear down, so grab two of those. A larger incomplete set of Allen wrenches because you always need that. If I don't have the right size and I fix it sticks, hopefully I would have it in here. A lens cloth because optics, eye protection, stuff like that, sometimes you just need a lens cloth. I have some red loctite in here and I have some blue loctite because again, if I'm adjusting something, I want to make sure to fix it once.  So this is actually a Glock magazine disassembly tool, so that's to take apart a Glock magazine if you need to brush that out or whatever. This is a Glock front sight tool. Again, in case you had to replace sights on a Glock, had to do that before. This is an AK front sight tool to adjust that front sight on AK. This is one of those little tools that comes with a Romeo 5, and so it has a flathead on one side to adjust the zero on the gun, and then the little torque wrench on the other side to take the optic on and off the gun. Yeah, so this is a front, this is a front sight adjustment tool for a Magpul backup sights. I tried to use it on a standard A2 sight the other day and it didn't work. I do have another front sight tool in my range bag, so I used that instead, but I don't know what the deal is with this, but fix it Magpul. That's just my range tool bag. I hope that's helpful, I hope that gives you some ideas. You know, again, especially if you're traveling over long distances to take a class, and especially if you don't have a backup rifle on you, have a repair kit. You can probably build one right now with a bunch of different old tools that you have in your shop. Do brave deeds and endure.


Brian, what did it do for you guys to get those short fields and the pick six to take some of the pressure off, having to produce the top yards early? Oh, it's huge. And defense played huge all game. And those plays early were unbelievable. You look at the pressure on the QB, and then David making a play on the ball, and then obviously Kevin reading the pattern and getting underneath that out cut was huge. So hats off to them. They played a heck of a game. It was fun watching them make plays, and proud of the way they played. Bobby and Aaron have to come in on the offensive line, obviously. I guess what did you see from them? What did that change for you guys? And did you not know until right before the game that it would be Bobby and not Taylor? Yeah, I didn't know exactly what was going to pan out up there. But proud of those guys, the way they stepped in for us, obviously knew coming in that it's pretty good players on the other side, and proud of the way that those guys battled and made plays for us. You guys obviously lost Derek last week, as Joe mentioned. Played with Dr. 2, your starting offensive lineman. What to say about this team that just kind of keeps on moving, no matter what kind of adversity it hits? We're a resilient group. We believe in each other. It's a next man up mentality. We know it's not always going to be pretty, but we believe in each other. We're going to fight, and we're going to try to find a way to win. And today we did that. Defenses came up huge for us, made those huge plays in the first half. Offense did enough. We made some plays when it counted there at the end. We're able to put that drive together and go get a touchdown when if we give the ball back to them, it could have gone the other way. So proud of the way our guys battled. Hats off to the defense. They played their tails off all day, and we found a way to win. Kind of picking up on that. I feel like you guys have maybe as good an understanding as there can be about the shape of a game. Like yardage and a lot of other numbers in this game didn't look pretty at all. But along the way, your lack of panic and stuff, you guys have really gotten uncanny at that kind of thing. Yeah, you don't play for stats. You play for wins. Obviously, sometimes they correlate together. But in other situations, in other games, it's just a matter of finding a way to win. And today as a team, we did that. Defense, like we just mentioned, some of the plays they made were huge. They played tough the whole day. And offensively, we kind of answered the bell there at the end when we needed to make a play. What were you kind of saying on the interception? What was I saying? Yeah, what were you seeing? Oh, seeing. Yeah, AGO was going on the outside. Right at the last second, somebody hand went across my face, and I tried to adjust my arm angle so it didn't get batted. And I left it inside there. What were you saying? What was I saying? We'll leave that on the field. You know, road wins are tough to come by in this league, but to come here and be what many consider the Super Bowl one of the big contenders and all you've gone through this week is how big a deal is this for your club. That was a good win for us, no doubt about it. Proud of our guys, the way we came out and battled. Obviously, a good team on the other side, on the road, and guys stepped up and made plays. But at the end of the day, it's just one more game. We just have to find a way to keep winning one game at a time. But I think that hopefully we can build on it. And I'm proud of the guys and the way they battled. You took some pretty vicious hits there, maybe in the fourth quarter when the game seemed kind of out of reach for them. Do you feel they were trying to rough you up? How did you take those hits?  They have a good pass rush, and they play physical. I don't think it was personal or anything. At that point, if they get the ball back, then they're going to have a chance to possibly make it a game again. So they're playing good, tough defense. And they committed those fouls, and it allowed us to extend the drives. All right, what about this team, where you guys are at right now? What's different about this team compared to years past? You're about to see a good playoff caliber team. What about this run right now, makes you guys different from years past? I don't want to compare it to years past. But I'm proud of our guys and the way we battled. We have a lot of heart, a lot of belief in one another, and a lot of will to win. No matter what's going on, what adversity we face, it's kind of next man up mentality. It's been that way since I've been here. But I'm proud of our guys and the way we battle, and just want to go out and find a way to win each and every week. OK, what was that experience having on the net pass for you personally, and what's it like to be in the next one of the years? How was that experience kind of shaped you? It's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun to go out with a tough group of guys that believe in each other. And we'll want to find a way to win. It may not always be the prettiest win. It may not always be smooth sailing. But when things don't go well, this team doesn't blink. We believe in each other. We're going to keep fighting no matter what happens. And I'm proud to be a team like that.


Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything One Piece, and today we will be focusing on the long forgotten, because you see deep in the depths of over a decade of One Piece, we've had a few characters slip through the cracks and just, you know, vanish from this world, which you might think is fairly common, given that the series has quite literally hundreds upon hundreds of characters to keep track of, but it really isn't. Oda generally does quite a fantastic job of keeping up with the old, and if you give me almost any secondary or even a minor character, I can probably tell you where they are right here and now. Johnny and Yosaku. These two are often mistakenly thought of as forgotten because they haven't been seen properly since the Arlong days. However, from cover stories, we know that they gave up the life of bounty hunting and became fishermen at Kokoyashi Village, where they remain to this very day. Good on them. And as for another example, we can look to Aisa, the incredibly talented mantra girl from Skypea. She is not forgotten at all and currently she has a job selling balloons at Wagamu Land, a theme park inspired by Usopp and Usopp related accessories, namely rubber bands. And you know what? Even animals don't get forgotten, like Chuchu. These days he owns and operates his own gigantic pet food store. And that is the kind of detail that Oda puts into 99% of his characters even after they've long since faded from relevance. However, there is that 1% who have seemingly just vanished from this universe entirely and they are known as the forgotten characters of One Piece. Meanwhile, you, dear viewer, are known as the person who forgot to subscribe to the Grand Line Review. The act of doing which will result in regular One Piece content being uploaded straight into your YouTube feed. So let's just refresh your memory about that. And please do say hi in the comments below if you are a new member of the Grand Fleet, welcome. And also just very quickly, this video is sponsored by normal brands with a Z at the end.  They have a range of gear for men, women and children and currently have a buy one, get one 50% option available. Sounds pretty solid. As does their tagline, which is normal brands, be you, that's more than enough. Which is very uplifting, I like it. So do check them out, link in the description below. But for now, let us check out some forgotten characters. And we'll start with the obvious candidate which will be Geen, also known as the standout feature of Baratier and someone who has always dwarfed the actual antagonist to me. However, I have also always found it a bit strange that after their defeat, we never heard a single word of what happened to Don Creek's Armada. And to be fair, things didn't look particularly good for Geen, after rather heroically choosing to throw his gas mask to Luffy and thus taking in a theoretically fatal dose of MH5, deadly gas. However, he did very much leave this series with a lot of promise and his final words are still engraved into my mind to this very day. I may only have a few hours left to live. It may be foolish for a half-dead man to commit himself to anything, but it's good medicine. From now on, I'm steering my own course. And then allegedly, Geen also told Sanji that he looked forward to encountering Luffy in the ground line. So look in any other series, I would say that this is quite a nice send-off to the character. You know, letting him sail away into the distance to preserve that strong image in the minds of readers, watchers, and in fact, the actual characters. But this is one piece and death is, well, it's not really a thing that happened too often in the pre-timescape era or even the post-timescape era. Which is why we very much now have to put up with the constant theories of every new character introduced with a mask or having a silhouette being Geen. Because if Pell can survive a city destroying bomb, then sure, Geen can survive a bit of the old poisoning. It certainly wouldn't be the most outrageous thing that's happened in one piece. But it's not just Geen either. It's easy enough to accept that sure, he may have passed on but the entire Kreek Armada has been seemingly forgotten about by the series. Don Kreek himself is almost certainly still alive. And the only reason I can think as to why we haven't seen him featured in a cover story or something else is because Oda doesn't want to reveal anything about what happened to Geen. If he is alive, then Oda doesn't want to blow that quite yet. And if he is dead, then Oda doesn't want to confirm that in a very morbid visual manner. Instead preferring to have our last image of Geen being a proud and changed man. Whichever the case is, it has led to both Geen and the rest of the Kreek pirates being forgotten about by one piece. And we're going to stick with East Blue for our next character, the frequently mentioned Captain Kuro. Frequently mentioned by the fan base, that is certainly not by the series because whatever happened to him will probably never find out. Because after enacting his questionable plan on Sir A Village, Luffy delivered a stunning headbutt to our cat loving captain. Which when you think about it kind of adds insult to injury because Kuro's whole thing was that he was supposed to be like the intelligent pirate. One of the smartest of all of the people in East Blue according to Oda actually. And as such Luffy chose to take him down by using his head in the only way Luffy possibly can, literally. He then rather unceremoniously threw Kuro towards his former crew and that was the last we saw of the cat captain. At least in the manga anyway. In the anime, there was this Phyllis scene during Log Town where it showed that Kuro had returned to piracy and he was alerted to Luffy's new bounty. Which was a kind of cool scene actually. This is a great example of Phyllis that really works for me because I can imagine Oda doing something like this. With that said, Oda didn't in fact do it. And as a result in Canon, we have no idea what happened to Kuro because he has never been seen again in any way, shape or form. No cover story is no nothing. And he certainly doesn't have the gene excuse of you know, more than likely being dead either. At best maybe Kuro has a motivational excuse though because his entire arc was focused on exiting the life of piracy and finding some kind of peace. So it seems more likely that even without the riches he was seeking, Kuro just up and retired. But I would love to know what that retirement consisted of because that's what we get to see with most villains in one piece or even side characters or even really minor characters. Because guess what? To name yet another example, we even know what Disco is doing these days. Do you remember Disco? I sort of do. He was the owner of the human auction house on Sabadeokopelago and right now he is a seemingly homeless alcoholic. Roaming around the lawless areas of Sabadeok repeatedly stabbing wanted posters of Luffy, Law, Kid and even Ray Lee. My point is though, if we're going to take the time to catch up with someone as irrelevant as Disco, then why not Kuro? I'm not quite sure about this one. He's just another example of a forgotten character in one piece. And now let us meet another who we find in the form of the captain of the Rambar Pirates Calico Yorkie, best known as the guy with the things on his face. Which fun fact, I remember the Karakana Fiyo, which makes sense because that's his name, Yorkie. But this is extraordinarily similar to the Gean situation. In Yorkie's tragic story, he contracted a disease. So he, along with the rest of the infected crew, decided to part ways and exit the ground line via the calm belt, or at least they tried to. So our last image of Yorkie, much like Gean, is sailing off heroically into the distance, more than likely to die a very, very painful death. And when I was reading it, this did strike me as a bit strange because the thing about Brooke's backstory is that it inevitably leads to tragedy anyway. Basically, the crew continue sailing and they get attacked by miscellaneous enemy pirates, thus resulting in all of their deaths. So the question pops up, why not just include Yorkie in that event, rather than doubling up on the tragedy with this whole disease business? But the answer to that is simply continuity. Because way back in the reverse mountain art, Croker stated that he heard from a reliable source that the Rambar Pirates had fled the ground line. So we needed a situation where the Rambar Pirates both fled the ground line and remained in the ground line. And so the Yorkie tragedy was born. But that still doesn't change the massive question mark looming over him. Once again, it's the same as the Gean situation. Either Oda doesn't want to confirm that he is alive right now, or he doesn't want to take away our final image of the former captain. Either way, that makes Yorkie a forgotten character. But let's move on to someone more comical now, like say Wanzi, yeah, he'll do. The undisputed master of Ram and Kenpo and quite possibly its sole practitioner. Wanzi really is a prime target for cover story material. Goofy characters like him often end up doing really, really well being given a minor side quest like Gidatsu and his journey to open up a hot spring with Kouzu's uncle. But not only was Wanzi not given his own cover story, which is an abomination in and of itself, but he has not appeared again at all. Which I do need to emphasize is very strange because even if you are just a minor one piece character, it is almost guaranteed that you will appear again, even if it's only in the background somewhere. With that said, I should of course mention that Wanzi did indeed appear in one piece film Gold proposing to a woman on a Ferris wheel. And as much as I would like to congratulate Wanzi on his assumed engagement, film Gold is not canon and Wanzi is still very much forgotten in the actual series. Let's get back to villains now because Arlong is another great choice for a forgotten character except he's a bit special because he did have a prominent role in the Fisher Tiger flashback, which is great, it really is. It expanded upon Arlong and gave us some great context as to why he became the monster he did in regards to Kokyashi Village, which once again, that's great and all. But in terms of Monday, we still have no idea what has become of Arlong or any of his crew apart from Hatchan. We just know that he was arrested by the Marines and given how dangerous he is, you would think that a natural spot for Arlong likely would have been impelled down. However, he was not present there, forcing us to assume that he is being held in some sort of East Blue pleb prison, one that he could potentially quite easily escape from. And I know he's a weird one because despite the fact that he was an East Blue antagonist, he is still one of the most pronounced villains in the series. So I do find it a bit odd that we have never seen or heard anything regarding his current situation because look, you can include him in as many flashbacks as you want, but when we consider the Monday, he is still a very, very forgotten character. As is Crab Hand Gyro. Do you remember Crab Hand Gyro? I try not to. But he was a human pirate worth a surprisingly impressive 73 million berries. So you know more than post Alabaster Zoro. This guy would have been quite dangerous in the first half of the ground line. However, when sailing to Fishman Island, Crab Hand Gyro and his crew were forced to join the new Fishman Pirates. Although they would eventually escape but not before being wrecked by Hoody Jones, who quite purposely left them alive to spread the word of terror to the rest of the human race. So look, Crab Hand Gyro is alive. And you might think it's a bit ridiculous and quite the joke for me to bring up someone like this but I am 100% maybe not 100%, but I am 85% serious. Characters like Crab Hand Gyro do not often get forgotten about in one piece. They go on to make strange minor appearances but this guy hasn't. And weirdly enough, that lack of anything to mention is worth mentioning. And that's for another obscure existence. Remember Baz Kovil? Or more accurately, Baz Kovil and Princess? You know, the three guys that were such good friends that they permanently share an outfit. Well, this is another strange comical odour character or characters who would have done very well with the cover story or just a minor appearance somewhere but they were never heard of again following any sobie. A great shame, IMO. But quite possibly the greatest shame and greatest forgotten character also a staple of any sobie is of course, Soge King. I still find it quite shocking to think that Soge King has not made a post-time skip appearance and there has been ample opportunity for him to do so whether it be Fishman Island, Pankhaza, Dressrosa probably not Hulk Hague Island for reasons I'm not quite sure of but even now on Warner and yet he still remains hidden in the shadows. I mean, I guess we have Usopp who tends to mysteriously go missing whenever Soge King appears, that's a bit weird but it's still not quite the same, is it? I would be very eager to know what became of the Sniper King because I have not forgotten him and that is because Sniper Island exists in my heart and as such, it would be absolutely impossible to forget Soge King. However, has one piece forgotten Soge King? Almost certainly. Along with all of these other characters who I am strangely curious to see once more although with each chapter, each volume, each year and even each decade that passes it is becoming clearer and clearer that they will remain forgotten characters. But what do you guys think? Please do leave your thoughts in the comments below or even join my Discord server.
