What we have tonight in MLB DFS is a slate where you have the ability to deviate from the chalk if you want to because there are no Must have situations in the slate there are players I'd rank higher personally like that I definitely have preferences and way I ways I'd rank things but I think it's a kind of an open slate where you can play Things how you want, you know bet on some talent and try to identify Ways you can deviate from the pack without being stupid. I think that's a fun slate for sure for tournaments Let's dive on in talk about it and get you set for tonight's slate This is the Fanduola live Q&A right here on the Fanduola YouTube Twitch Facebook and Twitter pages My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a senior writer and analyst for number fire comm here to take your questions for the next half An hour getting you set for Wednesday slate of MLB DFS as always no matter where you are watching You can get your questions in YouTube Twitch Facebook Twitter send them in right now We'll take them live here on the air again no matter where you're watching send them in when some lives here on air tomorrow's schedule We have a Thursday of football preview at 4 p.m. That'll be myself in Olivia Moody of volume sports We talked with her getting your thoughts on some props. I'll be talking some single-game DFS for Washington versus the Giants That's at 4 MLB is at 4 30 on Friday We have the snake trap with myself branding a doula and JJ Zacharyson That is 4 to 4 30 and of course the MLB DFS be at 4 30 those days So through the end of MLB season MLB will be at 4 30 every day except for Wednesday We're here at 4 to 4 30 on Wednesdays. Let's start the questions off on Facebook talking to DJ Hello, DJ asking for thoughts on Joe Musgrove thinking he's a very good pitcher very good pitcher Worry a bit about the matchup here because the Giants are a really good team now They do strike out DJ and I think that that gives you leeway to consider Musgrove because the talent is so good It's not the the best park for hitting either So you have the flexibility to consider Musgrove for sure I personally will not be ranking him as highest mother options just because I do really worry about that matchup They're just such a good offense. That's my concern there But because Musgrove is talented we can still use him and I'm okay with using him But I do want to rank him below some other guys So I think have more clear paths to being you know stand outside plays tonight So not going to cross him off to DJ. I think that if you like him you can go with him for sure Just worry about the matchup. That's the main thing for me with Musgrove So Vaughn favorite stacks for a single entry forward tonight So again, you've got a lot of different ways you can play things for today I think that for a single entry we can look at some teams that may fly a bit under the radar I want to see where Cleveland's implied total is because My hope is that Cleveland isn't going to be all that popular and we can go towards them I really do like the the matchup and the situation they've got for today Cleveland's applied total down at 4.5 So I think to me Cleveland is a team that grades out pretty well because I wouldn't expect them to be all too popular They've got a lot of power in that lineup tremendous matchup from a batted ball perspective So I think that they are an awesome option I think Cleveland is a standard option for single entry for today facing Griffin Jacks lets up a lot of fly balls a lot Of hard contact. So it's a Vaughn. I think Cleveland is a really good stack made single entry's perspective for tonight Vaughn is also asking for the best and value hitter on Cleveland like Bobby Bradley a lot. I've not seen their lineup yet Not sure if it's out yet Let's refresh one more time here to see if it is No lineup yet for Cleveland, but Bobby Bradley, I think he's awesome. I'm very interested in checking him out Other potential value plays here trying to think The Astros guys Jose Ciri we've got Chas McCormick Jake Myers all those guys could be good value plays Was that a change? Hmm. Okay. I'll look up something here quick because it's possible The Royals switched their starters around when I wasn't looking Okay, they didn't switch it to Carlos Fernandez. So I think the A's actually do work out pretty well too I thought it was Mike Minor. I had Mike minor down He was announced earlier. I think they changed things around semi recently. Anyway Yeah, so Well, I think that the A's are interesting as well Best value hitter though I'm gonna say it's Bobby Bradley Probably number one for me followed by the Astros guys So Vaughn any under the radar teams today again I think Cleveland's a good one there because I there are implied totals not super high I think that grades out John is asking you how would you stack Cleveland for itself? Let's do that here Let's put in Julio Urias a pitcher because he is my top guy again I don't think he's like unfaithable by any means because it doesn't get a ton of strikeouts Sometimes has length issues.  Let's go with Bradley Let's get Jose Ramirez And let's get from meal in there and see where we're at We do those three guys. We're at 29 40 left That means I probably need to go Bradley Zimmer over mile straw just because Bradley Zimmer saves me more salary than straw Strata think straw is 29 2900 so yeah, I think that this is probably the optimal four player stack if using a rios if you're going with let's say Huascari know what then I probably get up to straw just because it's it's less of a Salary crunch there. So if you're going with a rios, I think this is the four player stack if you're going with Inoa or going with, you know, any of the guys right around 9 000 I would say then I'd go with straw over Zimmer Dan says Yankees have a really high total No interest night. Yeah interest I think the interest is definitely there because John means let's have a lot of fly balls So that gives you the leeway to go there for sure the reason I didn't talk about them this morning Is it means has been getting a little bit better? I guess I would say a little bit being emphasized there Slowly trending back up after he came off the injured list. So I guess like I don't know it could be a situation where maybe it's just due to variance that is allowed him to improve a bit But the strikeouts have been better recently than they were when he initially came off. So See here, uh, two two six five three, but then recently a seven five five five five So he's been getting better. Yankees faced him, which means I did just see him a couple of starts to go But didn't do a whole lot against him check out the bad at ball beta In that game 31 hard hit rate for the Yankees in that game did have a couple barrels But I think that it's just more of like a middling type stack Dan So I think they're good and I will definitely be checking them out for sure But high salaries probably gonna be popular I'm okay being a bit underway just because means has improved Yankees always seem to be pretty popular I think those are things that make me be okay being a tiny bit lower on them Uh, DJ is happy Roberto Clemente day. Yes, uh, they they're letting I believe Um, I think not almost anyone but the way my old players were number 21 tonight. That'd be pretty cool I have a Roberto Clemente statue like a little mini figurine statue in my closet because I have my bobble heads and stuff in there Didn't take it out because I have like this backdrop back here, but Roberto Clemente, uh, one of the Greatest baseball players slash humans of all time Johnny Inoa or Suarez tonight and who do you think will win the al wild cards? Don't know on the wild cards there Johnny because I've been so wrapped up in dfs I've not had time to focus on a lot of my actual record stuff So looking forward to just watching it and taking that in having been doing a lot of divisional betting and stuff like that recently But as far as dfs goes for today I like Inoa a bit more because I think the matchup is Sick, but I also feel better about his overall like strikeout talent than Suarez Let's say strikeout talent specifically because Suarez has good talent It's just a different talent than we look for in dfs. His talent is at batted ball suppression. You see here In his past five starts some more change ups Just a a 29 fly ball rate allowed a 31 hard hit rate really good numbers the strikeouts have been there at times So Suarez to me is definitely a consideration I just put him behind Inoa because Inoa has a 26 strikeout rate since he returned But he had a higher strikeout rate before he got hurt. So there's a possibility for improvement there I think the 23 strike rate for Suarez is probably on the high end of his range Whereas Inoa at 26 percent is either as median or maybe even a tiny bit low. So I think that that uh, Inoa is a guy where I just want to kind of bet on the talent Bet on what we saw before the injury like the matchup with colorado too So I like Inoa. I don't mind Suarez either But I would say Inoa for me Kyle Gavin sheets as a value one off four to nine Let's see what the lineup looks like here for the white socks. See where sheets is that sheets is batting six against jason junk Yeah, I think that works for for sure Sheets is a guy who we used earlier on this year because he's got some power Let's uh dig in as a sample is expanded here on sheets to make sure That power has stuck 320 iso versus righties Kyle he is a double thumbs up not just one thumb We got two thumbs up for Gavin sheets for today as a one-off on the white socks and the white socks work for stacking too So he's a one-off, but I would say you can also stack them Jerry my favorite stacks for today are the white socks. I like houston and a couple one offs for st Louis and the Mets. What are your thoughts on this? I like the Mets one offs I think that uh, you know, they're facing john lester lester is a low strikeout guy has some good bad at ball data so You know, I think that one offs I I mean, I'm all stacky and stack them as well But one offs definitely do work there. Uh as far as the stacks do like the white socks again facing junk The one reason the white socks weren't as high for me is think the junk has the potential to suppress hard contact That's kind of a guess there. So that could be wrong But low strikeout rates not a big flop or not a big ground ball guy So definitely still like the white socks. I love houston facing coey arihara arihara had some good results Earlier on this year Then the results started to regress and they regressed towards his peripherals so That to me says the peripherals were not off and he struggled from a peripherals perspective since he came off the il as well So houston I think is the number one stack for today against arihara. I would say they're number one I do like the white socks do like the Mets for st. Louis So it's complicated because like in theory I can see using guys against magill because magill has really bad bad at ball numbers like a 47% our hit rate allowed This is over is past six starts more fastballs a 43% fly ball rate But he also gets a lot of strikeouts these specifically as good Versus righties and the cardinals have a bunch of righties So like if it were if you're facing the rays, I'd probably stack the rays because they got loud They got meadows guys like that But the cardinals are super righty heavy. Let's see if their lineup is out here yet No lineup yet for the for the cardinals. So I'm okay Not being as high on them just because they're they're pretty righty heavy I'd probably avoid them, but I don't mind. I do like houston a lot like the white socks and do like the Mets Jerry's is also like the colorado and atlanta game again I'd be lower on the colorado side because you know is very good Salvatore says pitching is awful Yeah, I wouldn't go awful. I would say it's not as Automatic as usual Salvatore that might be the the way I'd phrase it just because like there's no like top tier races So I'd agree that and I think that that's why we have the leeway to deviate from a rios if you want I'd expect a rios to be like the Very popular for today I think that that would be the assumption for me I know savon asked about who the chalky starting pitcher will be it'll be a rios for sure I would not stack against him. Uh, that was what savon is asking about, you know, should I stack them? I wouldn't uh because he's he's a very good pitcher because he's facing arizona but I would say for me It's okay to deviate from there like you know is in play as a deviation I think maniah works because he's super talented joe musgrove is a consideration talked about him before And then maybe mcgill at pitcher does make me pretty nervous though Uh, let's talk to savon philadelphia stack. I don't hate that savon because alec alec mills Been slipping recently lets up a lot of balls in play letting it more hard contact recently than needed before So specifically the lefties like harper odubo herrera or odubo herrera Brad miller is he in there? No, brad miller. Yeah, that kind of stinks Didi it's like a three player stack of didi harper herrera, and then I wouldn't mind galvis either But like they're not a top tier stack for me, but I think they're in play Um, savon also asked about a san francisco stack. No musgrove is very good savon asking how would you stack oakland? so facing her nandes Means we can go with pretty much anyone here. I would say so I think oakland is kind of just A freeing lineup we just pick the best dudes pick the best dudes on this team And stack them no lineup out yet. Let's check out the projected lineup here For the a's for today Skrulling down here this projected lineup may still be based on the lefty because It was initially going to be a lefty But they did change things up yet later. Yeah, so lauri is not in there I assume that's because they thought it'd be a lefty the davis won't play pinter. Probably won't play either so Flip that around the projected line is probably off is the way I'd phrase that So olson is kind of the key guy you want to get in there if you're stacking the the a's because Just a crazy crazy power versus righties and lefties They tend to skew towards murphy over gomes versus righties I'm kind of curious to see if if murphy gets a start today because they made the change But I also don't know if they'd want to change up catchers played in the game Given that, you know, it could throw off maniah stuff. So if it's gomes in there, I'm not as high He's not super great versus righties if chapin gets back in there. I'd love to feel good about him, too So Kind of want to see what the lineup looks like here because again, we don't really know If seth brown plays again, like whoopsies if seth brown plays lock him in definitely good sauer saver But wouldn't assume he plays. He's not a fixture in the lineup for sure dj Does colton well welker have any value for colorado at third base? No, I mean like I just don't want to use any rockies guys Like you know is good. So I'll pass on the rockies Mr. Monte on youtube a robert or jimenez Can I say yes? Is that cheating to say yes? um Because they're both pretty good actually looks like uh, yeah, so I mean robert's pretty hard to fade given how well he's been playing recently, but I still like jimenez a lot Let's just check it out here. Let's see straight up Robert has a 171 eyes over his righties with five stolen bases jimenez 236 I'm gonna go with jimenez. I know robert's been much better recently, but it's pretty tight So I'll go with jimenez there and just pray that robert doesn't continue to just go nuclear But if you get both I'd prefer that for sure So if I'm asking for cortez or suarez not a lot of interest in cortez personally Let's have a lot of fly balls So like they both got similar strikeout rates because they're right here on the same page You can see them both there. I like the matching more for suarez over cortez. So I would say suarez. They're by a pretty healthy amount Rob says I don't think colorado and atlanta will play non-stop rain. Yeah, uh, let's pull up that over here It's looking pretty gross looking at that It does say light rain. That's a good thing rob, but I don't know I think that's probably a correct inclination I always again defer to kevin roth and roto grinders. He tends to have a pretty good read on these types of things I don't uh, but this does throw that into Concern especially because like for pictures we have to care more about rain because if it's a long rain delay They get yanked no come back So definitely check back at what kevin s say on roto grinders about this this forecast here because it does look pretty concerning Savad, who would you who do you think will be the chalky picture for today? Okay, we've talked about that in passing before I think it'd be a rios Actually, I know it'll be a rios because the imply total is so low and the matchup's so good I would not sack against him. He's just he's too good for that Dan jim would you have to put oakland on top three now over the Mets? Yes, I think so because couple reasons we do have the Issue where lester does a pretty good job of suppressing hard contact. Hernandez really doesn't do that so I think that we had the leeway to go there The one thing that could push you towards the Mets is that the weather is great for hitting today Uh more humid there today winds blowing out So that could push you towards the Mets, but I would expect The a's to be a bit less popular because there was a pitching change Maybe not as much analysis around them for today. So I would say the a's over the Mets by a hair Dan under the consideration of Better offense Maybe less popular that'd be the play, but I think they're both still good But I do think that oakland might be in the top three now. Good question. DJ. Does nester course have any value tonight? Eh, not really not really in there. I think that there are enough guys I like more than him to lop him off DJs asking to host your kitty I would avoid that pretty stead vastly because he's gone to 71 and 70 pitches since he came back and The movement on his pitches has been bad like really bad relative to what it was before his injury So worried about him not being back to full strength pitch counts not there yet So we're keen to be Pretty easy to avoid based on what he's looked like those first two starts and specifically What the pitch count has been like salvatore where we're ranking the Yankees So let's see here. Um, I've got Let's go through the rankings here Okay, so we have astros one cleveland two We're going to shift the a's up We like the white socks. We like the mets. I feel like the Yankees might slot in after that That might be the optimal place to put them Yeah, I don't see anyone else to put above them. So, uh, Yankees would be after the Uh, after the astros cleveland The a's the mets and the white socks. So I guess sixth if I count it right be the ranking there John who would stack cleveland with so let's check out the positional stuff here on cleveland to see If there are any teams that might be Kind of restrictive with them. Oopsies still in the a's. So let's go with Bob and bradley. Let's go with hosera mires Mires Let's go with from meal And let's get zimmer in there Okay, if we do that, we are at 30 75 left the second base shortstop outfield utility It depends on which of the a's we get because I think that that could work pretty well Like if we could hosay siri at minimum salary again That gives you flexibility. Maybe gets uh, al-tube or korea in there. Al-tube is $4300 korea doesn't think lower So you could korea in there get a kyle tucker or your don alvarez in there. So I think the astros Work really well with cleveland based on the way Those two teams mesh together positionally and from a salary perspective kyle says he needs a one-off at shortstop with $3,300 Left to guess. Let's roll down here to $3,300 at shortstop Segura not a guy I tend to use versus righties, especially with mills being more restrictive versus righties Glaber just hasn't had power. Let's check out the game logs here I Have that dinger a couple nights ago, but like overall just no power at all for Glaber this year dan's bee is in that weather game facing south of tayla not a bad pitcher I could get behind on that rosario potentially as part of a cleveland stack But i'm not going to rank him as high within that stack because I prefer straw over him prefer uh, zimmer over him for the saving so Not super high there jonathan vr could work baton leadoff against lester So I would say probably rosario probably vr going to be the the top two guys there In terms of a one-off shortstop wouldn't mind dd either Uh, $2,500 so you could you know change things around elsewhere if you wanted to with the sourtains there But I would say dd's in play vr is in play And rosario is in play Uh, nearly eight ever over on twitch home run specialist today harper raise anyone else take a flyer on love harper Love from meal I think jose Ramirez if you're looking like actual like betting odds Uh for cleveland, I think that the number for jose Ramirez is very enticed. I think he's plus two ninety of andal sports book I think that's a pretty good number for him I'm not sure if you're asking for betting stuff, but like based on the odds I think that jose Ramirez We're really good bet for today To go deep for cleveland But the betting odds also illustrate what bobby bradley is super under sourced I think he's plus 280 like a little bit shorter than ramirez and he is $2,500 that's a really good price for a guy who is the betting number is a good price for him for a guy who Is $2,500 on fender? So I would say the cleveland guys are pretty good to check out there Other potential dinger threats. I do think that the yankees individually have some good guys could go deep like stanton judge Obviously you can feel good about those guys going deep against the lefty. Let's have a lot of fly balls Let's see here if the yankees lineup is out yet No, no yankees lineup yet. Oh, well other good dinger hitting situations for today I could see taking some stabs of some orials against cortez giving the fly balls.  What stack pairs well with minnesota? Um, I'm not really looking to stack the twins because cal quantrell does a really good job of Oh, sorry, you meant to say with cleavan my bad savant missed that joy is trying to show show me that and I totally glossed over So good job joy. I missed it With cleavan again, I think that houston is the one that goes well there Because of the way they they mesh ups positionally also though the mets do because like you go If we have second base shortstop open, that's the bayez lean door situation So the mets do mesh well with them as well. Uh, the mets cleavan mesh well Not as much oakland because I don't really want to use a lot of infielders there So maybe if you go with rossario as your fourth cleavan guy that can mesh better But the whites are the a's and cleveland don't mesh as well So I would say astros and mets For the two ones that uh that go the best together Um, the salvatore says royals hit lefties hit well versus lefties They don't strike out but they don't hit well. They have a 148 iso versus lefties 34 fly ball rates super low walk rates So like they don't hit the ball. Well, they got two guys hit the ball. Well, salvatore pair isn't out of their demand to see but Overall not a team. I really fear it's more. So I don't really want to Target pitchers against them because the strike area is so low. It's a pretty thin slate. Um, and I think that that Allows you to use mania into something. He's talented. I think he's talented He's risky for sure. But you know, I can bet on talent sometimes Uh, jerry says give me your two value guys under $2,500. Can I cheat and say $2,500 or lower jerry? I'm gonna cheat say, uh, bobby bradley at exactly $2,500 a guy. I do like quite a bit Uh, if we get brown in there I would say He'd be a guy. Let's see. Let's see what sheets his salary is too Our boy gavin is $2,100.  I would say he's up there for sure as well and Uh, bradley zimmer, I think is $2,400. I could put him in that consideration too So we'll say bradley zimmer bobby bradley if I can cheat Uh, kevin pilar is batting sixth really good numbers versus lefties. So I would say pilar up there as well. I think he's 21 or 24 somewhere in there Jerry says I like tyler mcgill tonight good matchup and he should be everyone's here a value pitcher I I think that I agree with you jerry. I worry about the hard contact. That's the one thing that makes me hesitate about going all in because the strikeouts are there Matchup is great very righty heavy, but he does allow a lot of hard contacts that can lead to destruction So upside is there jerry? I do like that. Just worry about the bat of balls So I think if I had to guess I've not built stuff yet, but I would guess I'll probably get to mcgill But if I don't it will be strictly because I am worried about the bat of ball profile. He allows All right, it's good dj's home run calls. He's got nick solak albert the modesty patrick wisdom josh harrison pita lanzo Javier baez. I love a lanzo love baez very in there Uh modesty is facing manai who lets up a lot of hard contact. So I think that one works as well Salvatore asking for thoughts and byron buxton. My thoughts are that he is the best baseball player of all time I was wearing my byron buxton surezy yesterday Uh, it's the player's weekend surezy. So just this buck on the back So only the cool people know uh who the player is Best baseball player of all time Probably not using it tonight because quantrol does a good job of suppressing our contact erin campbell asking about the white socks Yes, erin, I think that they are a very good option for today specifically in sheets, uh 26 or $2,100 for someone who with his power Versus a righty definitely on board there check out the rest of the white socks lineup Okay, so yasmani salary's gone up, but I still think that he's a good play Let's go over here and check out some salaries for the socks Let's put sheets in there first Just because I want them in there. Okay I did say I wanted him in as over robert. So I feel like I should just stick with that Let's do it. Although robert's salary is actually not that bad. So let's just do both. Why not? borkin olo's dose borkin olo's dose and then let's do Do I do grandal or abray you that's a really tough one and I don't like having to decide Okay, grandal 276 abrayo 202 we're going With yasmani yasmani in there for tonight. So I think this is a good one for the white socks here I just want all the power. Give me all that pop Jerry's dinger calls. He wants matt olson, kyle tucker, bryce harper, louise robert. I love all those matt olson's amazing So I think those are great I think that we are good to go Final one here from jerry st. Louis ran out of gas last night very frustrating with the way That one played out. Um, so I I I get it jerry. It was annoying for sure. So we'll see what they do tonight. Um Again, I think that that miguel is in play It makes me nervous, but I do think that it's worthwhile and again, it's a high variance slate There aren't any super safe pitchers outside of rios for tonight. So I think it works. I think it does work for sure We'll see what he can do the strikeout should be there. Hopefully keeps the ball in the yard That is all that we have here for today. But again a quick scheduling announcement for tomorrow We have the thursday night football preview 4 to 4 30 That is right here on the fandal youtube twitch facebook and twitter pages I'll be here talking with olivia moody live moods about her thoughts in that game from a props perspective I'll talk some single game dfs and tonio gibson to mvp anybody.

Good luck to you tonight We'll talk to you once again tomorrow talks and football and more baseball. This has been the fan dual live q&a


What's good, Josh? Well, Ross back again with another video. So I've seen lately on social media a lot of people are saying that the elimination chamber was very predictable and It wasn't a good show now everyone's entitled to their own opinion and you know I'm all for that if you like the show cool if you didn't like the show that's cool too You know, it's your opinion But the reasoning behind so much of this I guess you can say Take from a lot of people. It's quite puzzling to me The reason why I say that is because wrestling for the most part It's usually been predictable, especially with what we've seen. You know storylines play out Some of our favorite wrestlers had a lot of predictable storylines a lot of predictable matches But we enjoyed it because we were on the ride on the journey with them on there on On their particular story trying to figure out will they complete their mission? Will they become the champion? Will they finally beat the bad guy? That's kind of what wrestling has always been built upon the story Mixed in with the combat the physical element so the fact that a lot of people are saying oh the elimination was Elimination chamber was predictable. What was the point? You're kind of missing a point What I'm trying to get people to understand and maybe some who have felt that way not to change their mind But to kind of understand why things happen the way they do the predictability Was there is because it's a it's a show. That's really a stepping stone to WrestleMania we're really on the road to WrestleMania and we're trying to figure out what matches are going to take place on WrestleMania so You're gonna have situations where the elimination chambers set up to Set up more matches for the show the men's elimination chamber was to set up Who was gonna face Seth Rollins? The women's elimination chamber was set up to see who was gonna face area Ripley or Nia Jax that's it when it's always been and You can say maybe in the past it was less predictable or who was gonna win their respective chambers But I do remember in the past where it was a you know There was times where it was predictable on who was gonna win and who was gonna lose Doesn't make it that less enjoyable for some people it does but then it's like whoa How can you be a wrestling fan? When a lot of stories if not most of the stories that you've seen in the past from your favorite wrestlers were pretty predictable I Don't think too many people thought that Becky wasn't gonna win the match. I'm pretty sure there was a lot of people that figured Becky was gonna win the match if you watch the shows The weekly television they were letting you know that Becky most like who's gonna face rear They had been teasing it before the Royal Rumble They literally had a one-on-one segment on wrong where Rhea said from her mouth. I hope you win the Royal Rumble Because I would like to I would love to face you at WrestleMania Why would they have her say that just for tonight even play out now? I've also seen a pocket of the fan base Want live Morgan to win? Now here's the thing Live Morgan actually had a pretty good showing She did in my opinion. She had a really good showing in the elimination chamber She felt like she belonged there. She didn't feel like she was just a Placeholder so I can appreciate them doing that but on paper The bigger match for WrestleMania was gonna be Becky Versus Rhea then live versus Rhea and live has some, you know Legitimate gripes storyline wise against Rhea, but I don't think that's gonna happen right now I think there's a possibility that happens out of WrestleMania because I do believe Rhea will retain and she should retain I think they can revisit that after WrestleMania, but right now is Live is not as over as she once was before she got injured. That's just what it is So right now WWE is trying to build the biggest possible card for WrestleMania and the biggest card right now Would be Rhea and Becky So that's kind of one of those things where if you watch the show They were kind of telling you who was gonna be the person I was gonna win in the women's elimination chamber Same with the men's except the men's it was a little bit different because you can you could pull some audibles here the highly favorites was Drew and Randy Orton The surprising thing there for me was the whole situation with AJ Styles I thought they were gonna really do something with LA Knight and Logan for the United States championship But that may not be the route they're going. I think they're gonna build up something with AJ and LA Knight So that's interesting was not really expecting that to be honest with you. Some people may have but I wasn't Randy Orton and Logan was not really expecting that to be a thing But it looks like that may be what they going go into into WrestleMania for the United States Championship So that could be interesting And that's not even a guarantee that Randy Orton wins at this year's WrestleMania, you know against Logan Paul if they do have that match so That's just one of those things where it's like, okay that that to me Spices up things for the WrestleMania season Now drew winning. I don't think anyone had Was I wouldn't say people didn't think Drew couldn't win like I said, I'm sure people had thought maybe Randy Orton could pull it off So it was a little bit. I guess you could say unpredictable on who would win But a lot of people chose Drew to win because of how they've been booking him how they've been building up his heel character and It just doesn't make sense without the interference of CM Punk. Obviously, he's hurt It wouldn't make sense for him to not win it if they weren't gonna do something with CM Punk involved or Sami Zayn Involved that's the only thing that would have made sense for for drew to not win it but outside of that drew Winning it kind of makes sense Yes, is it predictable? Sure, but it makes sense in the grand scheme of things because essentially Drew took See him punk spot. He took his WrestleMania spot and he's kind of healing it up because of that and There's the story there Drew's trying to complete his story. He's trying to save WrestleMania, so it doesn't make sense to build this guy up built this guy up For these past few months have him going this great heel run have him do all these social media things only for him to not win For the sake of not being predictable That's the thing And of course Rhea Ripley. I've seen some people complaining about that to be honest with you Did you really think Nia was gonna win? It doesn't even make sense for Nia to win It doesn't yes Nia is born in Australia, but she didn't live there like that Rhea was born and raised there Her family was there in front row if you've been watching wrestling for the most part when the family's there and they're in their home Country or hometown. It's a good chance. They may win not all the time But it's a good chance they may win and there was no way they were gonna have Rhea main event The show to lose. It's just been watching wrestling too wrong I would have that would have been a swerve that probably wouldn't have made any sense Because there's no reason to take the belt off of her right now Not all not right now. So I don't know Some people will say, you know Wrestling fans are never satisfied and there's some truth to that Wrestling fans will truly never be satisfied But the whole notion of this was predictable. It was a waste of time I wouldn't go that far only because when you really break it down It's the story that they're telling and if you feel that this was super predictable and this was bad Then all the other times that you've watched your favorite wrestlers winning situations That obviously was predictable and it was set up for them to win then those situations should be just as bad, right? Now what I've stayed up at four in the morning to watch this show If this wasn't my job Most likely not to probably would have watched it, you know later on when I had woken up, but this is not a show I would have Willingly stayed up if it wasn't for you guys, you know, I'm saying it was one of those type of shows you can catch Not, you know, and you don't have to watch it live So I can understand why some people feel like am I stayed up for this Understandable if it's not your job to do that But also at the same time if to me it was a solid show it was a solid show It was enjoyable at some good moments There wasn't really a match on there me personally. I just felt that was bad Everything was watchable and I enjoyed it crowd atmosphere was great We got to get out this notion that predictability equals bad because that's not the case. Yes This whole car was predictable Yes, pretty much all the matches that people had been seen being built up We knew who was gonna be the winners. That's fine, but it doesn't mean it's bad. That means we're still on the ride We're still on this this roller coaster of them telling this story of highs and lows You know, and we got to wait to see how it play out at WrestleMania Simple as that. That's really what this is This pay-per-view was to set up more matches for WrestleMania and see how things will play out So let things play out and we get to WrestleMania And we'll see the culmination of these stories that have been told and been built up simple as that Because that's just my personal opinion on it we really got to get out this predictability equals bad because that's the case then Most of our favorite wrestling storylines and wrestlers and in moments were super predictable if that's the case And that means they were all bad, which is fucking cat. So comment down below. Let me know. Do you guys feel like? The show was too predictable to you and do you feel like that was a bad thing or do you feel like? It doesn't really affect the overall story You kind of knew what was going to happen going in but you wanted to see some good matches And you're looking forward to where they take the story next going into WrestleMania like y'all Let me know down below, but I appreciate all love support wrote on 50k and I'm still young speedy you to wrestling champion world Appreciate y'all kicking me. See y'all next one. Peace


We were visited by the AMC Commander in December to walk through our motor pool. He wanted to know what we the maintenance managers would do to improve the facility. Our current facility layout is a standard for all motor pools scheduled to be built over the next 15 years across the Army and our feedback helps improve the layout for future generations. After the decision was made that our motor pool would become the Army standard for building design across the forest, we as maintenance managers and technicians were asked for recommendations to improve design. These recommendations would ultimately enhance maintenance operations for future use. We showed our motor pool to units across Fort Hood to develop courses of action towards improving the facility. These facilities need to be able to enhance unit maintenance periods during reset and retrain periods but the layout needs to be lean. We recommended two overhead cranes in the main bays adding lube and air points to all the bays building in hard-standing welding work areas with burn permits already in place. Our ultimate goal is to eliminate waste and cut time soldiers spend moving to get tools, fluids, parts and internet access for technical manuals. Shop offers procedures would flow more efficiently with rooms properly established for the unit clerks. These rooms would include multiple access points for internet capability, proper storage for class 9 and class 3 parts and even a functioning window to administer customer service. Motor pool operations would improve drastically with an increase of storage area for special tools as well as adding lube pits for each bay as opposed to just the one located at the opposite end. With an improved layout and increased productivity the Army has the potential to save millions of dollars in maintenance, parts and labor.


Tom here from Orange Systems, and you should dance like nobody's watching but encrypt like everyone is. Whether you're encrypting for compliance, privacy, or paranoia reasons, in this video I will cover how to use ZFS encryption with TrueNAS Core and TrueNAS Scale. But I want to get a couple caveats out of the way. Losing the keys means losing your data. This encryption is built really well, it's been well tested, and if you lose the keys or the past phrase, whichever one you've used to encrypt your data, you're not going to be able to get that data back. Now, the next question is going to be about performance. This question seems to come up a lot, and then you'll find a lot of old forum posts about this. But if you're using a modern processor, let's say within the last five years, I have found the performance hit to be right around 1% or 2% from encrypted to non-encrypted data sets. So with most systems, it's probably not a big concern. But if you're also using deduplication, this can complicate things because if you're using deduplication along with encryption, you now have two things that are competing for CPU cycles, so you could further your performance issues beyond that 1% or 2%, but that's a different topic when it comes to deduplication. But one more thing that should be noted is that unrelated encrypted data sets cannot use deduplication. And there's an entire write up I'll leave where you can link and kind of understand some of the ins and outs of that. Like I said, it's a longer discussion goes outside the topic of this. The other thing I want to cover is going to be where the keys are stored because this question comes up quite a bit. Now you can download the keys separately, but they're also part of your backup. That being said, the keys live within the boot pool. And that means you can encrypt a data set. The data will be encrypted, but your boot pool does contain the keys. So this does not prevent if someone were to physically take your TrueNAS system and, well, boot it up themselves or you're thinking, well, they wouldn't have access to the Web Interface except for they would be able to get to the command line and modify that Web Interface and reset the password to it. So yeah, there's definitely some risk there, which is why we're also going to talk about why passphrases are good and the challenge within them. Now the last little piece on there is you're asking, what about a key server to allow for unlocking? That way you can talk to a key server that allows it to unlock. That is not officially supported in TrueNAS scale or TrueNAS core unless you have Enterprise. If you're using the Enterprise version, yes, it's supported. Now, if you want to know, there's a third party way to do that. Once again, it goes beyond the scope of this video. I will leave a link, though, if you're interested in how the key server works with TrueNAS Enterprise. That's also linked in the description. Now we can dive into the video and before we get started with it, let's first. Are you an individual or company looking for support on a network engineering, storage or virtualization project? Is your company or internal IT team looking for someone to proactively monitor your system security or offer strategic guidance to keep your IT systems operating smoothly? Not only would we love to help consulting your project, we would also offer fully managed or co-managed IT service plans for businesses in need of IT administration or IT teams in need of additional support.

And now back to our content. Now we're going to be doing this demo in TrueNAS Scale 22.12.0, but I will point out that this works much the same in TrueNAS Core. The difference is going to be you click the gear icon and there's export data set keys. And as you'll see when we go through TrueNAS Scale, the data set keys are located in a completely different menu. They've redesigned just for scale. And if you need to lock or unlock things in the core, we go here and the lock icon is still the same, but it's located with these three dots. To choose the encryption options or to lock a particular data set is much the same. Or even take an existing one if you'd like to add encryption options, you click this and these menus are actually the same across both platforms. Let's go back over to scale where we're going to do the demo. First thing you want to do is create a pool and we'll call this pool lab test. We're going to choose encryption for this pool. I just like encryption by default, so I usually choose it, but as I said in the beginning, yes, there's that couple percent of performance you could lose there. Now whether you choose an encrypted pool, you get to choose whether or not the data set themselves are encrypted on an individual data set basis. So let's go ahead and create this encrypted pool to walk through the process, create, confirm we're creating the pool, fetching the data, and it's going to want to download the keys immediately. The reason you want to download the keys is if you ever lose your boot pool. These keys are absolutely imperative in order to recover data off these data drives. So we're going to hit download encryption key. Let's go ahead and open up that key and we can look at what the key looks like. It's just a really simple JSON file, which has the pool name and the single key in here. Now we'll cover further what this looks like after we add a couple more keys, but this is now the default key for every data set created that is going to be by default inheriting the encryption options. Next we're going to create some data sets. Now the first data set we'll create will inherit automatically by going to add data set here and we'll just call it test one, test one, and by default we have inheriting encryption options. So we can just hit save and now that is also unlocked based on when this system boots up. It has that key that we downloaded saved within the configuration of this particular true NAS. So every time we restart server, this is automatically unlocked. Now the encryption can be changed afterwards, so we can actually take this currently unlocked one and change it. So let's go down here, clicking on the data set, we go over to ZFS encryption, hit edit and by default it inherits, but let's go ahead and create a different key. We'll just have the system close, we hit confirm and now we've created a separate key for this particular data set. Now, because these have different keys but both keys are stored within true NAS this will still be available and unlocked on boot. You're probably wondering why would I want to have a different key for a different data set that's under there and the only real reason I can think of for doing it that way is is you had several data sets here and let's add one called test two to test test two, save now this one has the unlocked by ancestor this one has its own and the advantage is going to be is if I was using replication I can replicate this to another server and allow that other server to have a copy of this key but that key if I were to replicate this as well would not unlock this. So one advantage is going to be or doing it this way is to have the ability to back things up to different servers and if it's a server you don't trust you want to use ZFS replication you can back up everything but maybe there's one particular data set you do trust and they can have the key to that one and then you would take those keys and actually import them on the other server because you can actually replicate all the data while it's encrypted over to another ZFS pool and then on a per data set or per key basis I should say you can take that key for that one data set and only unlock that one data set so it's pretty simple how the key system works. Now let's show how the download looks like now that we've added two keys to this particular data set and for that we're going to just click on here the top data set and we're going to say export all keys. Now you can export individual keys but we're going to go ahead and export all of them. Now we'll look at this file again and we can see that we have the lab test and we lab test one has a separate key but you notice lab test two is not in here because we didn't generate a new key but if we did change the key for lab test two it would be in here as well now this allows you when you're bringing the keys in from another system you can just copy and paste these particular keys that were generated and bring them into another system to decrypt those particular keys. Now the next part I want to talk about is adding a data set but this time for the encryption we will show you and this is going to be no encryption and we'll just make this one a non encrypted so instead of inherit and it warns us to confirm that yes everything will be not encrypted in here so we're going to hit save so we have now an unencrypted piece of data on here. Now this unencrypted data can be replicated to another system and it's fully unencrypted there's no un encryption here at all. Now we could have done this with the first data set as well because still we have to unlock this in order to get to this technically when we import this because I don't believe it will import this encryption one because this is nested within there but this particular one is unencrypted that being said you'll notice missing here is the ability to add encryption if you start with a data set that's not encrypted and create it without encryption there's no way to add it later that's just how that works but even though this one's not encrypted test and we'll go ahead instead of inherit we're going to build encryption for this one hit save we have a nested data set that is encrypted underneath it so these things are related in a way so you can create an unencrypted one but then you can have these encrypted ones underneath it as sub data sets or nested data sets underneath so any of these options do work perfectly fine and this is the quick way if you wanted to create a test where you want to write something and do a speed test between something with no encryption versus encryption to kind of get the idea of whether or not that creates a lot of overhead in your particular configuration now the last one we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and add a data set and we'll call this one passphrase and we're not going to inherit encryption we're going to use encryption but we're going to have a passphrase on here and we'll make it simple password one two three also don't use password one two three as your passphrase go ahead and hit save now with passphrase encryption you can lock and unlock this data set with that particular passphrase this has the advantage of if you boot this system up the passphrase will show up here in terms of the data set but it will show in a locked status so if we go over here and we scroll down to the ZFS encryption we can see current status is unlocked so we hit lock now we've locked this and there's nothing we can do to do anything with the data within there we can see the data in terms of how many kilobytes it may be taking up but without the unlock and we go here and unlock it put in a data set passphrase which was just password one two three we hit save continue lets us know that we're now unlocking that data set pretty simple to do and I want to note about things like shares that you may have with this particular data set and what happens when you boot the system up in those shares or even applications point at a locked data set and that's easier to demo on one of my systems I already have set up for this alright this is one of my production systems and we have sync thing running right here but I have it stopped and if I were to try to start it it will fail because let's show you where the data lives so if we go here to edit and this application points to mount dozer sync thing data if we look at that data right now and we look at the data sets we will see that it is locked so there's sync thing data and it's currently in status locked so we tried to start that application and this is the same thing it doesn't start up it's going to fail so if we hit start fetching data cannot be started because it's consuming the finally host path and more info is going to lead to it can't get to the host path as it's consuming the finally host path which are locked and if anyone were to take my churnass system the boot up process would not allow to unlock unless someone had the password so if now we go back over here to data sets and we go back over to the sync thing data and we're going to go ahead and unlock it we go ahead and paste in the passphrase hit save data sets was provided credentials to be unlocked restarting services and close now I want to note that the restarting services is also because if there was any shares on this it would restart the shares because they would also fail to start because of them being pointed at that if there were shares pointed at that now it does not restart the applications so I actually have to manually start them and this is one of those things that's really important to consider is whether or not you should use those passphrases the good part is they are the best protection form your churnass system and any data if someone were to physically take it being well escaped with that system that they took because if you don't have the passphrase and if you're using a good passphrase that is not easily just guessed something that's really crazy long which I do recommend because it's easy enough to store something like that within your password manager you just have the inconvenience of any time that churnass system gets restarted none of those services or shares will be available but to the same extent they won't be available someone takes the system and there's not any way to remove that passphrase that passphrase has to be known by the person who wants to unlock the data hopefully that is only you so these are a couple considerations when you're setting this up it's relatively easy to do you can change from a passphrase back to a key you can change from a key to a passphrase you can do this on the fly kind of on an as needed basis which ever you're comfortable with just make sure you are not losing any of those keys or passphrases because if you lose the boot pool where that data resides and you want to import that data somewhere else those keys are important if you just want to take those drives out and import them to another system you need those keys if you're using replication it will replicate encrypted unless you take the keys and put them in the system that they're landing on so those are all considerations you should have with encryption leave your thoughts and comments down

Thermochromic smart windows, TSWs, have been developed to provide both thermal insulation and privacy protection. These windows use two different mechanisms to control their opacity-transparency opacity properties depending on the temperature. The first mechanism uses a surfactant that changes its physical state when exposed to heat or cold, while the second mechanism uses a polymer that expands or contracts based on temperature. By combining these two mechanisms, TSWs can be made to transition from transparent to opaque at a certain temperature range. This allows them to provide optimal thermal insulation and privacy protection without having to manually adjust the settings.

I welcome you all once again to my channel Explore Education, and I am Dr. Rashmi Singh, Assistant Professor, Department of Education, SS Khanna Girls' Tree College. It is a constituent college of University of Allahabad, and it is my email ID. The topic which I am going to discuss today is very close to my heart, and it is qualitative research. And the lecture will be in bilingual mode and maybe and will be useful for various teaching examinations as many questions have been asked from this topic. So let's start. First of all, Hunatma ka Anusandhan. Baat karne se pehle hum logon ke man mein jo Anusandhan ka ek criteria fit hai usse quantitative research par wo pehmana fit baidta hai. Isliye jab qualitative research ki baat shiruhi to aksar isko quantitative research ke virod mein dekhah gaya aur usse kamta raka gaya. Kyunki shiruwaat mein, matlab, yeh main ke chal rihon ki aap quantitative research ke baada mein jaanta hai. To jaisse hi baat shiruhati, qualitative research ki to kaha chata hai ki aap generalize nahi kar satte. Jab aap generalize nahi kar satte apni findings ko, to sorry, research karne ka matlab hi kya hain? All like that. To hum logon po ek dosare nazariye se dekhne ki ziruhat hai qualitative research ko yaha par yeh baat nahi ki jaariye ki qualitative research bhehtar hai ki quantitative research bhehtar hai. Donohi approaches hai hindi hai na, ek humara upagam hai, humara dekhne ka tarika hai, dekhne ka nazariya hai. Aur dependi yeh is baat par karta hai ki hum hojne kya jaan hai. Hum yaha pi yari shiru gara hai ki research kya hai, ree plus search hai, baar baar kojna hai. Yhe sab mai maan ke chal rahe hoon ki aap ko insa baare mein pata hai. Yaha kabhi baat mein ish par baat karlenge. Qualitative research MAK course mein haan aur mai bohot din osar ish par baat karna jaarii ki, lekin mauka nahi mil raha tha. To qualitative research, maine bhi apni research qualitative PhD mein qualitative research hi uske hai. So mai se tadaat mein asthapit kar baat ki hoon, ek saar ho baat ki hoon iss ke saar. To mujhe lagta hai ki mai, bhehtar aap ko iss ke baal mein bataa paun ki ki ki jisne nahi kya hai qualitative research, boh uspar ussarike se baat nahi kar sata hai. I think so. To qualitative research mein, ya qualitative research goon atma kya maat ratma kar na sanhaan mein, hum ko dhyaan iss baat ka rena ho gha ki, hamaara prashne kya hai. Research question kya hai, hum kya kojne jaar hain, yeh depend karta hai ki hum kaunsi research apnaingi, qualitative ya qualitative. To yaha pa jaha hum qualitative qualitative ka aap se aage ke kisi video mein difference ki we will discuss in the next video. Lekin yaha pa rahe hum sear qualitative research ki baat kar hai, hai na. To kya hai qualitative research, kisko aap kahange ki goon atma kar na sanhaan hai. Qualitative research is a type of research, ya ne ki research ka ek prakhaar hai that explores, jo hojata hai, explore karta hai, and provides aur humko prastut karta hai, humko deta hai, kya deeper insights into real world problems. i.e. the problems of our daily life can give us a deep insight into which qualitative research can help us. i.e. when we use the information of the soul, it can explore the real world problem in a better way and give us deeper insight. why can it do this? instead of collecting numerical data points those who know about quantitative research know what we do there we collect data, then we get a statistical tool and in the end we tell the difference whether it is significant or not significant i.e. null hypothesis will be rejected or not so so many people know so instead of collecting numerical data points instead of collecting any data points what do we do? intervene or introduce treatments there is control group, experimental group, group home treatment then we do post-test, pre-test and at the end we see all these things are there just like in quantitative research qualitative research helps generate hypothesis i.e. the problem of the soul what does it help? it helps in generating hypothesis i.e. we can imagine the fact-finding that came out of it as well as further investigate and understand quantitative data or we can say that in the first instance we took out quantitative results from cause and effect factor that this is the reason why this is happening but if we want a deeper insight we need further exploration so for that we need to go into qualitative research why? because the job is to explore so what do qualitative research gathers? qualitative research participates experiences i.e. the participants, our sample on which we are focusing their experiences, their perception their business and this is not just quantitative research it can be done only with eyes that too in numerical form so apart from this it answers the hows and whys i.e. it answers this how and why this happened instead of how many and how much i.e. it is not told how many, how many, how much but how and how this happened only then it will come out when we will share their experiences we will try to understand their experiences there are many points we will discuss later it could be structured as a standalone study it can be that we are just doing qualitative research or purely relying on qualitative data i.e. we are doing a good study in which we are only using qualitative research and it could be part of mixed method research i.e. mixed method research is also very popular these days because in qualitative research it is very difficult to understand how you did not put any tool you did not put any statistics so how did this research happen so we will do it a little bit to make it a little bit at ease that we will do qualitative research we will do quantitative research first we took some data from quantitative and then we will do further analysis so these things have become very popular in the field of research we can do mixed methods research in which we can take qualitative and quantitative both but standalone research is also very popular and their finding is also verifiable ok so this is the first first testimony with our qualitative research then what is qualitative research at its core it asks open-ended questions whose answers are not easily put into numbers such as how and why whenever we have to know how and why it happened then we cannot ask it a question we cannot ask it a question we cannot tick it just tick it or tell it yes or no we will always have to go with open-ended questions then we will get those things out which are not even in our minds one of the strengths of qualitative research is its ability to explain processes and patterns of human behaviour that can be difficult to quantify what is special about it actually it happened that there was so much pressure on quantitative research when the emergence of qualitative research then its positivity its plus point it was told its negativity it was told that it is lacking that it cannot generalize that it has no validity no reliability all those terms that go with quantitative research that is the second approach so it does not have quantitative research so we need to see this way we do not need to see this way that it is lacking so its plus point its positivity its boon is that the behaviour of human which is difficult to give us which is difficult to inculcate the processes i.e. the processes and patterns to be explained apart from this and such as experiences attitudes and behaviours can be difficult to accurately capture quantitatively for example if someone is very happy if someone has a very brutal experience then how much will he rate what will he say 100, 200, 1000 maybe he will be able to read less words he will not be able to give it so those things that experience, attitude, behaviour which we are difficult to quantify human being is the most unpredictable being human being is the most unpredictable being we cannot tell why they are saying this today they will say something else i don't know how much the psychological process will go on that they are saying this subconsciously so it is difficult to accurately quantitatively capture it whereas a qualitative approach allows participants themselves to explain what they were thinking feeling and experiencing at a certain time or during an event of interest while qualitative research allows the participants to tell themselves how they are thinking what they are thinking feeling, experiencing at that particular time or at that event of interest and later it is not that we are just talking to the participants and we give such results negotiated outcomes later it goes on to your researcher to talk to the participants that we have taken this discussion actually you were also thinking the same or we have thought something wrong so this is a very typical complex and exhaustive work of qualitative research so i think now you have cleared a little bit what is qualitative research methods served to explore the gray areas that remain outside the confines of quantitative predictive research in human behavior what do we do in quantitative research we have made questionnaire i always feel that we have made questionnaire so we have put the same points which we feel are possible or which we have come to know from the review of related research or which people have put in the last questionnaires but there can be a point that is not in the mind of the participant it is only in the mind of the participant so we have to take open ended we have to take unstructured then only something new will come out or the things that have already been published we are just going to check it, we are going to verify it we are going to do the cause and effect so we have to pay attention that there is no good or bad research both the researchers are just approached towards research questions that we actually what do we want to find out then training in qualitative research is absolutely essential to understand and explore the dynamic nature of the society in which we function so in the beginning when we indulged in qualitative research and we had to do something that is very unstructured it means that the questionnaire is ready and we have to fill it and then we have to do data and who does it himself it becomes a system but the quality of the research data you give it to anyone now a lot of its functions Atlas and Atlas I a lot of software have come but when we researched it there was no software available or it would be available in some high quality research or in very good facilities we did not know that there could be any software so much data talks, tape records to revise it to file it to find a pattern it was so tough and so time consuming and a lot of times a person gets demotivated that we will not be able to do research actually I think all the PhDs think that this research will not be able to do it but then finally a person can sum up it so training is also required in quantitative research if you have some statistical information or someone will guide you because the path is structured you know that you have to do this but the path of qualitative research is not ready we have to make it ourselves as we are indulged in research as we are involved in the data collection process the path is cleared slowly slowly at the beginning everything is washed hence a training is required to indulge in qualitative research qualitative research qualitative research studies are natural settings attempting to make sense of or interpret phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to them hence the qualitative research we need a deeper insight we need a participant experience who tries to study those things in their natural settings attempting to make sense of the earth of phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to them the participant has given the earth we need to get that earth okay qualitative research is so special so qualitative research will be special what is the role of qualitative research is very special qualitative research must act as a bricolier what is bricolier this term is not used frequently if you see the Hindi meaning of bricolier you will get a bricolage what is bricolage? bricolage is like whatever we have we can make some earth something like this something like this there was tits and wits there was no pattern there was no similarity but bricolier you can say made it like an instinct like you feel that there is a pattern there is earth too qualitative research bricolier uses the tools of his or her methodological trade he makes his own methodology he uses his own methodological trade his tools deploying whatever strategies methods and empirical materials are are at hand means whatever club you are in you have to work with that the same method will be used we will make that in the year 1999 the choice of which tools to use is not set in advance look because we have to see the path through the participant's eyes what is he feeling what is his vision so how can we go ahead as we are interviewing we have used the tools so as the interview goes on we will come to know what will be the next question the things we have given a lot of importance that question because life is very important so we are not able to set anything in advance whatever set is but often it is considered as a delimitation there is no set in it there is a logic behind it why is it haphazard why is it not set because of that way because of this very nature that we have to follow the process of research practices depends upon the questions that are asked the question we are asking the questions depend on their context and many times it happens that we thought that we will talk about this but according to the context it is very sad and we are going to share some sad experience so we are being a human being to create an empathetic environment if we repeat the same thing then it will be more sad so we will change the question by looking at the context so we have to follow this way that is why the process is a little lengthy so it is a little slow ok then characteristic if we want to be a qualitative researcher then what should be special what should be important ability to perform we should have the ability to perform many different types of tasks ranging from interviewing to observing to interpreting personal and historical documents to intensive self reflection and introspection many times we are going to be very sad now we will talk about quantitative research we do not have to be a qualitative researcher but qualitative research says without being a qualitative researcher you will not be able to do your work so these are the things and we will discuss the terms later so here we have to do many types of tasks we have to take an interview we have to do pre-examination we have to do personal documents historical documents then we have to do self reflection we have to do introspection self reflection we have to be subjectivity but we do not have to be immersed we have to be immersed and detached so this is very difficult it is easy to be detached but to be immersed and detached it is so tough then ability and willingness to read a lot and understand the connections between we have to understand that we have to see whether it is in the mind or not if something is going on in the mind if something is going on in the mind we have to measure this discrepancy between the many interactive paradigms like Marxism cultural studies constructivism that can be brought to any particular problem so that we can understand so many things we should have knowledge we will talk about what is the role of post-positivism and in post-positivism then ability to work together in between competing and overlapping perspectives and paradigms we have to see what is going on understanding that research is an interactive process we have to understand what is going on in the mind shape by his or her personal history biography, gender social class, race and ethnicity and those of the people in the setting it is not like the personal experience personal history what is the biography what is gender what is social class what race what is ethnicity everything works everything is intermixed everything is interplay then what do they produce what is your qualitative researcher what is he producing he is producing a lot of special things abricolage what is abricolage a complex a complex thing you can reflect from that collage like creation that represents the researcher's images what is he producing what is he producing what is the pattern what is he producing the image of the researcher what is the picture in his mind what is the understanding of the world and phenomena under analysis this abricolage will connect the parts of the whole stressing the meaningful relationships that operate in the situations and social world study and this abricolage from that part the images are pointing towards the whole towards the complete we get a meaningful relationship that operates in the situations and social world study and the social world we do qualitative researcher has not given his responsibility so this abricolage should be okay so this is a quick review of what is qualitative research and in the next video we will talk about the difference between qualitative and quantitative research because it is very important to understand qualitative research will not understand in this way that there are some disadvantages some problems come this car role had quantitative research okay so I have completed this very topic and thank you all don't forget to like and subscribe my channel and join my telegram group to get learning materials if you want to ask me there you can ask and you can provide your valuable feedback to me too okay so done from my side


That as a matter of urgency, the Nigerian judiciary must address the issues of delays in processing cases through the courts. This, as he referred to delay in the Nigerian judicial process as the elephant in the room, is wondering what would happen to the country's legal profession in another 50 years given the gridlock in processing cases through the courts. The question of the integrity of the legal process also is worrisome. Ushin Bajo said this on Friday in Lagos when he chaired a Wale Olanik Pekun and called Justice Summit on Justice Sector Reforms. It's in celebration of the 70th birthday of Wale Olanik Pekun SAE.


Oh, hello everyone, my name is Zhang Shuyang, so it's my great pleasure to be here today to give you a brief introduction to Situ Jiarong, a sign language with conservative and complex phonology and morphology. So the presentation is divided into three parts. I'll start by some background information of this language, then the second and the third parts will be a sketch of the phonology and the verbal morphology. So the name Jiarong, which comes from Tibetan and the warm agricultural region of the queen, it's polysemus. Historically, it means the region once ruled by the 18 local chieftains during Ming and Qing dynasties. Nowadays, the term is more often used to refer to the inhabitants of the historical Jiarong region. So they are officially identified as the Jiarong Tibetans by the PRC government. And finally, the term can also be used to designate a very arcade group in the Sino-Tibetan family, that is the Jiarongic languages. These languages are distributed in the mountainous area in southwestern China, so many Ngawa and Gamze autonomous prefectures in Sichuan province. So the Jiarongic group is composed of three branches. We have the western Jiarongic, northern and eastern Jiarong languages. So the eastern Jiarong has another name that is Situ. So Situ and northern Jiarong languages are more closely related to each other and form the Kuo Jiarong subgroup. So the language that we focus on in today's talk is Situ, the eastern Jiarong. The name Situ comes from Chinese, Situ Si, which means the four local chieftains. So Situ language means the language of the four chieftains. Among the three branches in the Jiarongic group, Situ is the most widely distributed one here, so with the largest number of speakers and it also has great internal dialectal diversity, it can be further divided into the northern dialects and the southern dialects. So the northern dialects are mainly distributed in Badkamp County along the Solmong River here. So it is the core region of the Jiarong languages. So these dialects are currently well studied for which we have already some very detailed grammars. Southern Situ dialects are distributed in the south, so in Zanla, Chucheng counties in Nangwa, and some parts of Danba County in Gamze prefecture, but the southern dialects are currently understudied. According to the Lectological Research of Gates, so the number of Situ speakers, I mean both northern and southern dialects, so the number is around 67 to 73,000. However, due to the internal diversity, language vitality may vary according to different dialects, but in general northern Situ dialects are generally unsafe or definitely endangered. These dialects are used mostly by parental generation or up, so they are still transmitted to younger generations but are only used by some children and mainly at home. Normally the children only have a very limited vocabulary. Situ has a very long history of contact with Tibetan and the southwestern Mandarin. For example, there are early Tibetan borrowings which can still reflect the Tibetan second post-fix letter A's, so like in this one, China's customs. Intense contacts with Chinese took place after 1950s, so today the influence is from Chinese continue to increase due to some social economic reasons. I started learning Situ since 2015, so I focused on the Browar dialect, so the name Browar comes from Tibetan, which means between the cliffs, so this dialect is distributed in the border area between Chosya here, West Jeonongic language, and the Situ here. So as you can see in this map, there are six villages here in the Browar township, so the inhabitants here are Situ speakers. There are another three villages located in another river, so they are speakers of Chosya. Here are some photos from my field work, so the two pictures show typical landscape of Browar, so with steep mountains, deep valleys, and swift flowing rivers. The first one is a Situ house located in a very high mountain, so you can see it is surrounded by clouds. These photos are taken during my visit to Browar villages, so the house is located at the foot of the mountain. You can also see the picture in the bottom right corner. Here we have a local dish, a kind of flat noodle soup with fermented salt-turning leaves and sausage. So if you like, you can also add as much chili as possible, so just like the local people do. So now we are moving on to the phonological and morphological sketch of Browar. This is a very special northern Situ dialect, exhibiting many morphophonological ambiguities, so it is not as streamlined as the other Situ varieties, so let's see it together. So Jiarong geek languages are known for their conservative phonology, in particular for their complex initial consonant clusters. Situ dialects also share this feature, so here in Browar, syllables with zero onset are very marginal and are only found with particular prefixes. Normally a syllable contains an onset, so which can have one up to four initial consonants, so for example, the second syllable of this ideal phon, Pstupstwa, has a very complex initial cluster, so here we have four initial consonants. In addition, at the inflectional level, due to the addition of particular suffixes, Situ also allows complex codas, for example, here the first percent dual form of the verb to tie up, it is pronounced as grot, so here we have a complex coda of two consonants due to the addition of the dual first percent suffix. There are in total 43 consonant phonemes in Browar, all can occur as simple onset, but I think the most distinctive feature is that here the plosives and affricates have a four-way contrast between voiceless, unaspirated, voiceless, aspirated, voiced, and prenasalized series, which is a typical gyronchic feature, but in general the consonant system of Situ is simpler than those of northern and western gyronchic, so Situ has lost most of the uvula consonants. There are eight vowel phonemes in Browar Situ, and the vocaliic structure of Browar distinguishes three aperture levels, high, mid, low, and at each level it distinguishes the central grade from the north central grade, so the north central grade includes both front and back vowels. Here are some examples. So we observe that the mid front vowel A has a conditional variant here before vela codas as in duk duk, so the same goes for the open front vowel ye here, which also has variant ye before vela codas. This can be actually demonstrated by some morphophonological criteria. For example, verbs ending in ye like ve to du, so we're followed by the first person singular suffix n, which is vela, so it is phonetically realized as beyond. So another criterion is vowel alternation, so we observe that for example ye followed by a vela coda has the same alternation pattern as A in an open syllable or followed by other codas. The distinction between the central and north central grade is fundamental with which is the principle rule of vowel alternations attested in various morphological processes. So in Browar a verb can have two to four different verb stems, but vowel alternation only allowed to ablute the grace, so that is between the central and north central grades. Here I quickly show some examples. The first verb gasitas is a two stem verb, so we can see that the central vowel e in stem one shifts to the north central front vowel ye in the stem two sts. The second verb has three stems, but we observe that vowel alternations only happen between the central vowel e here in stem one and the back vowel e in the other two stems, so the same situation is also found with the third verb ganane and the fourth verb ganastabye, so we'll see more details about verb stem alternations later. Tone and accent are also very important in situ dialects, so at the lexical level Browar presents a tripartite opposition between the final penultimate and initial accent, final accent contrast between a high tone and a falling tone, so here are two minimal pairs. Dushbi with the high tone means seed, but dushbi with the falling tone means wheat bran. Gasso so with the high tone means to think, but gasso so with the falling tone means be alive. Penultimate accent is typically associated with reduplicated syllables as in kajiji, sigada, and kei pailolo, butterfly. Words with initial accents are less frequent and are often morphologically complex, as in this one is gubonan. In verbal inflections, the default tone of verb stems are subject to modifications when adding different kinds of prefixes, so the phenomenon is called accentual mobility. Generally speaking, for a verb stem with the high tone, the final accent moves to the penultimate when the conjugated form has more than two syllables. For instance, the verb stem nza with a high tone when prefixed by rara in perfective, the final accent first remains unchanged in the bisilabic form. However, in the tricilabic form raden dan and in the kodri-syllabic form meraden dan, you did not eat it, so the accent shifts to the penultimate. Some prefixes are with accents, so the addition of this kind of prefix neutralizes the tone of the verbal stem. For example, the sensory prefix na itself is accented, so it neutralizes the falling tone of the verb stem in zin, so we have a bisilabic sense reform pronounced as nanzio, he or she or it is eating. From tricilabic forms, the initial accent shifts to the second position, and we have a tricilabic sense reform pronounced as naden zian, you are eating. So now we are in verbal morphology, so the verbal morphology of situ also reflects a general characteristic of the Ho-Jarongbi group, namely the polysynthetic feature with strong tendency to prefixation. But the non-concatenative morphology is as important as prefixation, so in dialectic like Brawash, rich stem changes are what characterize their verbal morphology. In addition, Brawash has a unique feature that is the left-word spreading of the old vocalism in the prefixing chain. So in example one, we have a verb stem containing a lexicalized intransitive visor or here. So the vocalism all spreads leftward and simulates all the three preceding prefix, so we got a form pronounced as monotoken. And this table shows a simplified verbal template of Brawash situ. The affixes added to the verb stem can be divided into three domains. So the domain closest to the basic verb stem is a series of derivational prefixes. Then we have the personal domain, including both personal prefixes and suffixes. The farthest from the basic verb stem is a tense aspect modality evidentiality prefixes as well as two associated emotion prefixes. So sentence two contains a complex verbal form indicated by the red color, but we can decompose it step by step. So this form is based on the root ngig to chase, so from which we have an ambulative verb nanzhenggig to chase in all directions derived by adding a prefix sna and the reduplicating the root. Then based on this ambulative verb, we derive a causative verb by adding the prefix sna nanzhenggig cause to chase in all directions. Then we add the translocative motion prefix xia, so adding a translocative motion to the causative verb, which means cause to go to chase in all directions. Then the verb is conjugated for perfective, marked by the prefix n and the stem two, sanzhenggig. And finally, the conjugated form takes the closed or nominalized ge, signifying that this is a piece of subordination. So due to the time limits, the folding parts will focus on two aspects, person marking and stem alternations, but actually they are associated with diverse aspects of verbal morphology in bluish, so including the TAM and derivation. Finite verbs in bluish have obligatory person marking. Intransitive verbs distinguish first, second, and third person, and singular, dual, and plural number. So although personal pronouns have an inclusive, exclusive distinction here, this distinction is not expressed in verbal morphology. The person and number suffixes are related to independent personal pronouns, but we also have two prefixes that are not related to the pronouns, so that is d and g. It should also be mentioned that the singular, second person suffix n, it cannot formally appear if the verb stem ends in a closed syllable. So there is a split in third person marking, sensitive to TAM. In non-past, Bravais distinguishes between the dual and plural third person, so marked by two suffixes, whereas in past we only have a non-singular third person indicated by the prefix. So here are two examples. In example three, in factual non-past, the dual third person is marked by the suffix, but in example four, we have a past imperfective situation, so the plural third person is marked by the prefix good. Transitive verbs index two arguments, so the table shows the factual non-past paradigm, so the row indicates patient and column's agent, so most of the person and the number markers are exactly the same as in the intransitive paradigms, but now we have four new affixes. So the forms with the first person agent and the second person patient are marked by a new prefix star here, and those with a second person agent and the first person patient are marked by an additional prefix here. Second, the suffix o marked singular third person agent and in similar to the singular second person suffix no, o cannot be present after closed syllable verb stems. So as you may have already noticed, there is a prefix o present in nearly half of the forms in the transitive paradigm, including those marked by the prefix go, so this is the inverse marker. The presence of the inverse marker o is sensitive to a person hierarchy, so in which the first person ranks highest than the second person, and finally we have the third person. So in the cases where the patient outruns the agent in the hierarchy, namely the cases of two on one, three on one, and three on two, the inverse marker occurs. On the contrary, the one on two, one on three, and the two on three forms are direct and are no marked. So here are some examples. Example 5a has a direct situation with the first person, with the first person acting on a second person patient, so we have the prefix star, so one on two prefix star, but in 5b we have an inverse case with a second person agent acting on a first person patient, so we have the two on one prefix go containing the inverse marker o. So note that the inverse marker o also spreads leftward and simulates initial interrogative prefix mer. The principle also works in mixed situations, so 6a is a direct form and is no marked, where 6b is an inverse case with a third person agent acting on a first person patient, so indicated by the prefix or merged with the preceding prefix, a perfected prefix. In many other Jairon languages, like for example in Japook, the person hierarchy further distinguishes between the proximate third person and the obviative third person, so noted as three prime. The opposition between proximate and obviative is often affected by semantic or pragmatic factors, such as the animacy of the reference, so in example 7 we have an animate agent, the boy, and an inanimate patient, patient skin, so the verb to hide is a direct form, however in example 8 we have an obviative third person agent, the water, which is inanimate and the proximate third person patient, which is animate the boy, sorry him, so the verb to take is marked by the inverse prefix were, so which is cognate with the prefix or in Brauache. Such opposition between the proximate and obviative third person has been neutralized in Brauache, in 9 we have an animate third person agent, she acting on an inanimate patient, the lunch, the verb is a direct form and index the singular third person agent, and in 10 we have the opposite case, so with an inanimate agent the herb acting on an animate patient him, but the verb is still marked as direct, so note that in in 10 since the verb stem ends in a closed syllable, so the singular third person suffix who cannot be present, so again we have the split person marking with two third person participants, so like the intransitive verbs, transitive verbs also distinguish between the dual and the plural third person in non-past marked by personal suffixes, but in the past we only have the non-singular third person marked by prefix or, so in example 11 the plural third person agent the verbs are marked by suffix near in the verb, so in example 12 the agent the two hand women are marked by the prefix or in the verb, so they are non-singular third person agent, so maybe you have already noticed that verbs in the person marking paradigms appear in different stem forms, so indicated by the small capitalized roman numerals here, so this phenomenon is called stem alternations and they're nearly ubiquitous in in brawash and observed in both inflectional and derivational morphology, so I start by inflectional stem alternations which occur in different TAME or argument indexation categories, as shown in this table stem changes are actually as important as prefixes in TAME marking, so the distribution of stem 1 and stem 2 generally reflects the opposition between non-past and past, so but we have two exceptions, the euphoric present selects the stem 2 but inferential past including inferential perfective and imperfective selects stem 1, the stem 2 is derived from stem 1 most often by tonal inversion, so for example ganpard to cell distinguishes two stems, so we have the stem 1 part which is with the high tone and its stem 2 is generated by tonal inversion, so we have mpard with the falling tone, in example 13a and the stem 1 part is selected for the factional non-past and in 13b which is a past perfective situation, so we can see that it is a stem tune part that is used, for some verbs tonal alternation is accompanied with vowel alternation, so for the second verb gajuk to run, the second stem the stem 2 is derived by both tonal and vowel alternations, so in example 14a and the stem 1 appears in sensory and in 14b in euphoric present, we have the stem 2 rujik, so gajuk, i am running in brawaj a considerable number of verbs have more than two inflectional stems, this is different from most described situ dialects normally distinguishing at most two inflectional stems, so verbs with multiple inflectional stems in brawaj are usually found with particular syllable structures, so we are first to take a look at of the verbs distinguishing the stem 1 prime, stem 1 prime is sensitive to phonological environment, so verbs having stem 1 prime are with a high tone and either have an open syllable or ends in stock coda, so in this case the stem 1 prime is distinguished from the stem 1 by a vowel shift to the non-central grade in a high tone non-suffixing environment, so here we have an example so the verb gaviet to put on clothes is a three stem verb so we can see that in the factual non-past paradigm here the stem 1 what with central grade is used in the forms with person in degradation and suffixes since the verb ends in a stock coda a singular second and the third person forms have no personal suffixes here so in these two forms we have the stem 1 prime yet with the non-central grade stem 2 prime and in the opposite equivalent of stem 1 prime so the principle is the same normally an open syllable verb with fulling tone is possible to have an additional stem 2 prime so this time it is the open syllable with fulling tone the syllable structure the stem 2 prime is distinguished from stem 2 due to the tonal inversion from the stem 1 so stem 2 in this case has a high tone so in a similar way inside all the forms potentially selecting the stem 1 those without a person in degradation suffix will have stem 2 prime so this can be illustrated by the perfective paradigm of the verb gaviet to do so stem 2 what with the central grade appears in the forms with person suffixes here as previously explained the non-singular third person of a transitive verb is marked by the prefix so we have no personal suffix here so this form the non-singular third person in perfective this form selects a stem 2 prime yet with a non-central grade the revision of stem alternations are rare in other jargon geek languages but are frequent in bluish so for the derivations for the derivations requiring stem alternations the rule can be described as a primary unidirectional tonal alternation accompanied with vowel alternation in the process is requiring alternations to the high tone an open syllable or stop ending verb shifts to shifts additionally to the non-central grade in the derived forms so for instance in the derived auto-benefactive verb gaviet to do for oneself we have the high tone and non-central grade and the second example is an applicative derived by the suffix term so the basic in transitive verb gattet is with the central grade and the falling tone but we have the derived form with the high tone and non-central grade as to the derivational process is requiring alternation to the falling tone an open syllable verb stems have an additional vowel alternation to the central grade so for example by adding the prefix sa to the verb gaviet to do we have the applicative noun sava so the place to do or the instrument with which we do so the applicative noun sava is with the falling tone and the central grade the second example is a reciprocal verb gonadzeze so this verb is derived by the prefix or and the redeplication so it also presents alternation to the falling tone and the central grade with regard to the basic form ganadze which is with the high tone and non-central grade so in summary from stem alternation we actually see different aspects of verbal morphology in blauertz-stu so at the derivational level the derived form may show stem alternations with regard to the basic form then at the inflectional level different inflectional stems occurs in different TAME and person indexation categories moreover since stem alternations in blauertz are also correlated with syllable structure basically if the derived verb has a different rhyme due to derivational stem changes so it can have a different inflectional alternation pattern this can be illustrated by the verb gaviet so we can see the basic verb gaviet to do distinguish the stem to prime but the derived auto-benefactive verb to do for oneself this and the derived form distinguish stem one prime so i'll stop here and the interesting aspects of sutu are far more than those introduced in today's talk and i think that the complexity of gyronchic languages are also the reason and why they are so fascinating so i will end today's talk with this beautiful photo of the barricam city the capital of the gyron world i hope that one day you can also come to barricam and feel the charm of sutu gyron and also the hospitality of the local people so thank you very much and thanks for watching
