Hey yo, what is you all right now? These are some BK dumplings. I could eat this dish like every other day for lunch. Very interesting. This looks like a McDonald's menu right now, look at it. This might be the most HK spot in Chinatown. Welcome to part 13, Chinatown is forever growing, shrinking and renewing itself at the same time. And these brand new spots might just blow your mind. After much controversy, we witnessed the return of the king of dim sum. We got a new top dog in the Korean corn dog lane. We see the expansion of the spicy OG. We sit down with the uncle of Chinatown and we try some rare Choo Chow delicacies, most of which are all under $9. See, the cheap eats ain't going away. Hit that like button, let's go. A staple of Chinatown that was legendary. It closed down during COVID due to also a lot of controversy and now has found a new home on Center Street. We are talking about Jingfeng restaurant. You guys, Jingfeng is the center of a lot of controversy. It involves a lot of rich, powerful families. It involves mocha, it involves de Blasio, and it involves Eddie Huang, the famous chef. The truth is oftentimes in the middle, off to the side. And sometimes the truth can even shift based on whose perspective you take. Let's see if the food is still good. These are the top dishes here at Jingfeng. That's what I was informed by, you know, the hostess. This is a not a Gong Tao hall. This is a sub-tow hall. So it was like a wet gravy instead of being cooked into the noodle on the walk. I will say this, the meat pieces look pretty solid. The meat, they got the meats. We're not talking about Arby's, we're talking about Jingfeng. Big shout out to today's sponsor and my favorite snack box subscription, Bokksu.

All right, back to the video. And I would say that most people are not as familiar with this dish unless you're like actually can't tell yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is definitely not a dish that you will find at every late night spot.  Mm. Subtile, wet style was $18.95. It's not cheap, but they did give you a ton of beef and it was pretty large. Andrew, I'm gonna cut this durian pastry in half right here. Boom. Let's take a look inside. Heavy, heavy durian paste in here, Andrew. This is some straight li-n-yong lian-rong. Andrew, durian is a very controversial fruit, right, in the Asian world. Hey, and Jing Feng is a very controversial restaurant. Ha-ha. No, that's it. I'm gonna go ahead and give that five out of five banger. Wow. That's the hit single off the album. That's the most streamed on Spotify. I'm shocked. This is the best durian pastry we've ever had. Guys, we gotta bleep this out, but I thought it actually reminded me of a... Or... Come to Jing Feng and get the durian pastry. All right, guys, so it was like six bucks for the dim sum, $8 for the durian pastry, $20 for the subtile. I wouldn't say that these prices are cheap by any means. They're probably more upper middle, but you gotta think, guys, I mean, it's still cheaper than Western. Next up on Chinatown Cheap Eats, we have a very Cantonese spot called Hai Lido. So, if you translate that into Mandarin, it says Shi Ni Tu, which actually doesn't mean anything, but Cantonese is a very slang-based language. There are some things that, to a Mandarin reader, make zero sense. Three dollar sandwiches, $7 curm chong gai, which is like a chicken cutler with ginger scallion. Wa, le albindo! Oh, Hai Lido! Yeah, Hai Lido! Hai Lido! Okay. Oh, hi, right at home. What should we get? Like, we're people who are coming to Lido that are tolong. What should they get? Because we are gonna order maybe three or four or five things. Curl Ludo. The curm chong gai. We gotta get the curm chong gai. 750, I know Andrew is a curm chong fiend! Guys, this might be the most HK spot in Chinatown. Do you feel like Hong Kong cafe food is like kind of going away or decreasing, or do you see some people trying to bring it back? They try to bring it back. They try to bring it back, you know? But still, people, you know, like those, most Jukxing people, I mean, people born in here, they not really crazy about this kind of food, but it's getting more people to know. I mean, really, it's getting more people to know. All right, you guys, this is the pearl noodle, the pin noodle, the ngang jen fun. Very, very hard for me to say, I'm not very good at the Cantonese language. Ngang jen fun. And let's check it out. Let me tell you this, guys. There is a lot of squids in here, there's a lot of shrimps in here, and I'm telling you that all that umami seafood noodle flavor has been very deeply seared by the wok into the ngang jen fun. $9, lots of seafood, lots of flavor, at least be 12 bucks anywhere else. We are looking at a $3.50 corn beet egg sandwich, a ham ngau tan chi. Very salty, but if you're looking for this flavor, this is the one. It's 11.30 a.m., maybe 10.30 a.m., at maybe a ga ga lok, ga ga lok in Hong Kong, and I regret ordering the corn beet because I'm not a corn beet guy. Next up, we've got these sausage egg, and they're using like a Western Jimmy Dean sausage. I've never even seen this before, so. All right, I mean, this is better than any fast food egg sandwich, easily in the game and cheaper. For $7.50, I have the black pepper and pork chop over rice. This is the hock chew, chew pie fond. Very hot, smells delicious. Mmm, that is the best pork chop deal you can get in Chinatown, $7.50 for fresh pork chop. Last but definitely not least, for $7.50, we got the gherm chong gai pa fond. Freshly made ginger scallion oil right here, lots, very generous with it. Shout out to Kenny Man and Flavor4. I could eat this dish like every other day for lunch. This is a great lunch food. Keep you going, $7.50, you get fresh chicken thigh, grilled to perfection, topped off with a lot of delicious ginger and scallion oil. It's light on flavor, but it is authentic, and it is delicious, and it is cheap. Highly though. All right, everybody, I am right outside of the new spicy village. Now, I love to see Chinatown spots expand, even if it's just, you know, up the street, they still have their old location over on four sides, but this spot actually took the old shu jiao. So shu jiao actually moved on to Grand Street, and then new spicy village took this spot. They're serving the same dishes, but it's a little bit bigger and cleaner of a spot, and the prices are a little bit higher, but maybe the food is better. Let's go check it out. Guys, the one thing I actually like about this dish is that it's a dish that I enjoy, and actually a lot of non-Asians enjoy as well. A lot of people come in here ordering this because it kinda looks like the more authentic version of a Panda Express dish, or something that you might be able to get at the mall at like a Manchu Walk or one of those Chinese takeouts, but it's got a lot of flavor and it is worth it. Let's see if it's as good as the old location or the original. Honestly, this tastes like a better version of that teriyaki chicken you're gonna get at Saurapoo at the mall, but it has peppers and onions stir-fried into it. One of those favorite dishes that I don't think it offends anybody. Everybody's gonna like this one. So if you got a friend who doesn't even like Chinese food, this is the dish to get. All right, trying the tomato and egg. All right, let's go for it. This dish is really clean, pretty light, just a little bit salty, but if you just wanna load up on carbs and have a light meal, I think this is the dish right here. All right, so we actually ordered just the side of noodles that was supposed to be in with the dish, but I forgot because I didn't know that actually if you order the big plate of chicken, it just comes with chicken. So we ordered the hand-pulled noodles. I'm just gonna weave those in just like that never happened. So this style of big plate chicken is actually a Henan style, which because the chefs and the owners of the spicy village are actually Fujianese, but they spend time in Henan, so they kinda learn this style of Dapar-ji. And you know, big plate chicken, all different dishes in China have different regional kind of takes on it, and this is the Henan style. Off the bat though, I mean, I don't know, for 18 bucks, this is a pretty good deal as far as the flavor you get. You see all those fennel seeds. You see that the chicken is very dark. I think that's a good sign. It means the flavor's cooked in there. Let's try it. So you're finishing up my meal here at New Spicy Village. I gotta say, like if you're looking for a flavorful big plate chicken dish, you gotta come and get this one. I think this is actually the best one in Manhattan within reason because I go to more expensive spots that have it. One's where it cost maybe $25, $30, and it doesn't have this much flavor.  This is the best cheap eat big plate chicken that you can get in lower Manhattan, period. I love to see some of the Chinatown cheap eat legends graduate and expand up above Grand Street into more mixed zones. One of the traits about New York City is every like five to 10 blocks, it's almost like a new city. Previous location was so packed that they just had to. So I'm gonna be here more often. All right, our next spot is a brand new Cantonese style restaurant that has a ton of delicious dishes that are under $10, under $9 actually. It's named Uncle Lu, and Uncle Lu is actually a local legend here in Chinatown. You know, hopefully I'll get to meet him, but pretty much everybody around Chinatown who's been out here for a decade or so knows who that is. So shout out to him. Prices are very low, brand new spot. They specialize in chicken duck. They have really great seafood dishes that are very affordable. Guys, Uncle Lu's, let's check it out. All these dishes here were under $9. Why is the food so cheap here? First of all, we just opened, we're trying to promote it. We try to promote our dishes, let more people come in, we try to show the car, come in. We're opening up two days before Christmas. A lot of tools come in, too much business, too much business. Like we're short handed, inside and outside. Nobody wanna work now, right? Guys, this is freshly fried whiting fish. Now, whiting fish is kind of a cheap fish, but the fact that they fried it whole for you and they put all these little peppers and onions on top, I mean, guys, this is a deal, 8.50. That's pretty good. Whiting fish, if you know, if you've ever been to those Crown Fried Chicken, it's the fish that you're gonna get there. All right, here you got the crispy duck, freshly fried. Guys, I am ordering off the lunch menu before 4 p.m. You gotta come here before 4 p.m. and get all these dishes for under $9. It's crazy. Mm, wow. All right, guys, I'm here on to the Chenpi duck. Now, oftentimes you can find Chenpi beef, but there's not a lot of Chenpi duck.  Let's try it. Mm, sweet, vibrant. It gonna remind you a little bit of like orange beef, but an orange duck style, mixed in with kind of like a Hongxiao roe style. So that's really good, man. Here, I got the sand ginger duck. Now, actually, I'm not gonna lie, these are the, this might be the first time I'm actually having this dish, at least calling it this name, you know. It's obviously the poached chicken with the ginger on top, got scallions, peppers. At this price point, these lunch specials are the best deal in Chinatown. Like literally, what can you get for under $9 even anymore? I know you can get a lot of dumplings, but to get a whole plate of chicken, man, just come here for lunch. Wrapping it up here, I have a very Cantonese dish here. This is the cauliflower with mushroom. Cooked all the way through, very nice. Still has a little crunch to it.  It just goes to show you that people who have been around in Chinatown for decades still believe in Chinatown. And these are ridiculously cheap lunch specials. Out of all the meats, I'm gonna say, I think the crispy fried chicken best thing here, it's sitting in that bed of soy sauce.  The skin and the batter is a little bit thicker, but overall, man, it's delicious. Show some love. Uncle Lu's Mulberry, I mean, listen, brand new spots are opening up in Chinatown. People believe in it. They wanna be here. All right, our next spot on Chinatown Cheap Eats is not a hot food restaurant. It's actually a frozen food store that sells all types of frozen Chinese food, particularly dumplings, dim sum, and wontons. In little Italy, are there spots kind of like this? There are actually, where you get like frozen raviolis, which are typically a little bit cheaper. And I think they're cheaper here as well, the frozen dumplings, right? Oh yeah, definitely, guys. This is a very economical way to eat. And I do think there's a lot of like stands or hot food places that have dim sum that don't make their dim sum in-house because that's very laborious and expensive. This is like essentially Chinatown level dim sum, maybe not the highest quality, but Chinatown level dim sum for cheap. This is their selection here. So what are you looking at?  Love me a nice chicken feet.  Interesting. Very interesting. Even the chicken shumai, that's always my go-to usually when I'm hitting up dim sum spots. Marco, pick out a pack of dumplings that you're gonna make at home. I'm going for this one, I might. But yo, are they easy to me? Because I can't cook. All you need is a steamer. I gotta buy one. I think I do. You don't have a steamer. We're Italians, we got everything in the kitchen. Where are these made? From Eminem, Brooklyn. These are some BK dumplings. Would you call yourself a dumpling dealer? Dumpling dealer? That's funny. My man right here is the dumpling dealer. These dumplings are made on 8th Ave in Brooklyn. Shout out to Brooklyn's Chinatown, Sunset Park, man. You know, I could see that in Brooklyn, they have more space to have like the dumpling warehouses essentially. So, okay, okay, okay. Bye-bye, dumpling dealer. All right, I'm about to steam these one tons that I got from Red Bull. $9 gives you 20 high quality one ton. Yes, they have pork shrimp. They have water chestnut. They have white pepper in them. They have all the main ingredients that you'd need. So, I was about to pop these into my steamer. By the way, if you do not have a steamer at home, I highly recommend it. This is actually called the baby bullet. It's actually made for baby food, but I like the size of it. It's not too big, but steaming is a very efficient, quick and environmentally friendly way to cook food because I use so little water. Next up, we finally have Korean corn dogs in Chinatown at a little-known chain called Mr. Cow. A lot of people not familiar with this particular Korean corn dog franchise. So, there's okay dog that does well. There's two hands. There's some other brands. Mr. Cow is starting in America. It is ran and operated by Koreans, but they do have some interesting flavors. Now, the Korean corn dog game is getting to a point, David, where I think people are looking for even wackier flavors. You're saying that the Korean corn dog game is at 2.0. Yeah, the regular standard Korean corn dog is now not wacky enough. Guys, this is right in the heart of Chinatown, right next to Grand Street Park, right here on Hester Street, right across from Mekong Food Tee, Bamboo Desserts. All right, the Mr. Cow has arrived. We always like to try the new Korean corn dog chains if we can, but of course, I had to turn to an oldie goodie right here, the Bamboo on Hester, guys. There's only two of them in New York City in Manhattan. It's a chain from, I believe, San Jose. This is not a bad thing to get while you're eating corn dogs because the corn dogs are going to be, you know, deep fried, kind of greasy, kind of heavy, but this is gonna cool it down. The Richie Lee special, the number one, replace the longan with the lychee, 10 out of 10. Wow, I have the caramel puff. These are sweet barley puffs with powdered sugar. Wow, here I have the spaghetti sticks. Yo, this is Parmesan cheese over spaghetti sauce. Where's Marco? Marco would like himself a good spaghetti stick corn dog. Guys, here I have the fruity pop. These are fruity pebbles sprinkled on top with sugar as well. David, is there one of these that you wanna try? All right, so immediately I wanted to try the fruity pebble ones, that's the one I'm going for. All right, guys, spaghetti stick fruity pops. One of those kids just said, hey, yo. All the times that our film, us eating these out on the street, there have always been some young kids who are across the street or right next to us saying, hey, yo, hey, yo, what is you all right now? Yo, honestly, I've got to say that this fruity pebble Korean corn dog is good. This is good. I did not think that the fruity pebbles on the outside were actually gonna turn into almost like a candy. And it actually does go well with the cheese. Obviously, they make sure this one is cheese more than corn dog. That's crazy. Okay, guys, here I have the caramel one. This is a mixture of, it's kind of like putting cereal. This kind of reminds me of smacks. You know, the box is here with the frog on it. Andrew, obviously part of our mission, part of our brand is to showcase new Asian concepts, new things that are from the Asian culture but making it into the Western society. Mr. Cow is just one of the numerous Korean corn dog chains that we've tried, but I have to give it one of the highest eatability scores in terms of like, I can eat the whole thing. A lot of them I can't. Honestly, guys, I think I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, Mr. Cow, right now at this moment in time is my favorite Korean corn dog spot. It's easy to eat. It's just enough sweetness. I think they've had the time to study the previous chains and work on things. And like I said, the crust is way thinner. The shell is way thinner. You get way more flavor. And the other times, the other ones to be honest, a lot of batter. Proved, all right. Let me try this Oden cup. These three hot dogs plus the Oden cup was $19. So just to let you know the pricing, but I do appreciate how the Korean corn dog spot. Keep it pretty Korean as in offering this traditional snack, which they don't have to because it looks a little weird to a lot of people. It's like a folded up fish cake sheet. So it kind of tastes like I'm eating a sheet of fishy top ramen. Not bad, but $3.99. You might be able to skip this one. I would say reallocate that money towards the corn dog. All right, our next spot on Chinatown Cheap Eats is this spot on Allen Street. And it's one of those businesses that you won't find anywhere else, but in Chinatown because it serves udon, ramen, dim sum, and sushi. Now I know that some of you guys might be a little skeptical, but it's actually kind of decent. Owned by Fujinese immigrants. Let's go in and check it out. We have the sushi sashimi combo for $30. And then we got the steamed crystal shrimp, which is your hot cow. So like I said, they got dim sum, they got sushi, they got ramen, everything. All right, so right off the bat, looking at the sushi, it's actually really well put together. It looks very clean. And actually looks pretty decent. Listen, this spot is actually ordered a lot through Uber Eats, but I don't think that many people walk in here and sit down and eat. But I mean, look at it. It's got the little Krispies and the spicy salmon. You have your tuna, you have your salmon here. You have your whitefish. Okay, so as far as Yuki, aka slash formerly go sushi, I mean, I think that a lot of people, you know, don't imagine themselves eating sushi in this setting, I get it. I think a lot of people when they go eat sushi, they only want to eat it at a high end omakase or nothing at all. But this is gonna get that sushi fix for you. The fish is very solid. It's not warm. It's chilled. It's well put together. And honestly, you know, shout out to Fujinese people because if you guys don't know Fujinese people, they do open up a lot of different businesses. They're not always cooking Chinese food. A lot of them are opening the affordable sushi spot. So I'm just saying affordable sushi is getting better. It doesn't have the stigma that it used to because, you know, a lot of its farm raise now, which is driving down the price. It's a lot easier to get now. So if you really need your sushi fix, you can stop at a spot like this. On the hunt for the elusive Tsingpaku Kaifan. There you go, Tsingpaku Kaifan. Mysei! Ah! All right, everybody. We have covered the spot in the past, but they have reopened after being closed for a while. It is Sugartown. It is like the exotic exclusive Japanese snack store of Chinatown. You guys gotta check it out. Lots of KitKats. Obviously, you know, in Japan, they'll have like 200 flavors of KitKats, but here, they're coming over. You got mango, Mont Blanc. You have an ice cream one. You have an apple cinnamon one. I might get this one. And then also, check out this Haichu. This is like a Yakult flavored Haichu. It's a yogurt drink.  Here, we have half-half the grilled shrimp, which I actually had that at a Thai night market in Bangkok before. And then you got the chili sauce ones. Ooh, I'm excited about that.  Not all KitKat flavors are good. I always like the classic ones a lot and like a few other ones, but let's try the apple cinnamon one. Holiday flavor. A lot of that. A lot of apple and cinnamon. Yo, I definitely think they're punching up the flavor of these KitKats and making it stronger because this one is hitting me in the face, almost tasting like a McDonald's apple pie. So the cool thing about Haichu is they adapt to every market. There's a lot of flavors from Taiwan here, but these are the Japanese ones. And this is a Yakult flavored one. It does really embody it. I feel like I'm chewing on Yakult. Thai Lays. Thai flavors work great on potato chips because Thai flavors are very robust, kind of sour, very spicy. So I'm very excited, but this is a dual one. So let me show you this. This is a green one. So this is gonna be like the little chili sauce one. I don't know the name of the sauce in Thailand, by the way. Shrimp one. Ooh, ooh, very roasty. Oh yeah, a little bit sour, sweet, limey. I'm gonna give that a four out of five too. Guys, again, just go for the flavors of things that you already like. You don't have to like go try new dishes via the snacks. Or maybe you do, maybe that's how you wanna do it. But anyways guys, Sugar Town in Chinatown on Bear Street, it is open. It has exotic Japanese and Southeast Asian snacks. You gotta try it out. All right, our next spot on Chinatown Cheap Eats is actually a bookstore that's not only going to have some cheap eats, but actually got some cheap reads. This is a brand new bookstore, Andrew. This is an Asian-American female-centric bookstore. And they have like signings by famous Asian-American female authors. They've got all types of stuff. I see some books by W.E.B. Du Bois. This is fairly interesting. This is a second generation Asian-American owned bookstore. They're gonna have coffee. They're gonna have like little snacks and stuff. So yeah, is it really a restaurant? Not really, but we wanted to give it a shout out because it is new to Chinatown and it just opened. And let me tell you this, by the amount of people that have been here every day since it opened, people are excited. Clearly it was something that the community was looking for. Cool, so I'm here with the owner Lucy of UME Books. What was the goal behind this? The goal was to create a bookstore that had immigrant stories, writers of color on the shelf. And I just really wanted to see people like me represented on books on the shelves. Okay, cool. Is there a particular focus on Asian-American female authors or Asian female authors? Or is that just kind of how it's working on the beginning? It's, honestly, we have a lot of Asian authors on the shelves, a lot of Asian female authors. We have a lot of writers of color on the shelf, stories of color. So if you're looking for any diverse reads, you can most likely find it here. Next spot on Chinatown Cheap Eats, Tiu Tai. Super small, low-key spot, just open. It's serving a mixture of Chiu Jiao food and actually Thai food. So that's why you have Cow Moon Guy and you have this traditional Chiu Jiao meatball, kind of like fun type noodle dish right here. You got shrimp ball, cuttlefish ball, squid ball, beef ball. Man, it actually smells amazing. It has a lot of like scallion oil in this. All right, so this is a 1450. This is not the cheapest Cow Moon Guy in the game, but it does look pretty legit. So we're gonna go ahead and put some of the ginger scallion on top. David, what I'm loving about that is the yellow skin. David, that is a yellow skin chicken. That is an Asian skin chicken. They're pretty good portion size. You know, is it the cheapest? No, but you actually can't find Cow Moon Guy Thai style in Chinatown, really. One of the best high non chicken based dishes in Chinatown for sure. Here I got the assorted Chiu Jiao fish balls, all different types of fish balls and meatballs. But you can tell that with the little extra garnishes, scallion and little pickled mustard greens, you know, they're adding a little bit extra here, guys. This is deep cut balls right here. Andrew, if there's anything about Kanto people or Chiu Jiao people, which is, you know, generally the same region on Southern China, Andrew, they love seafood, fish balls, squid balls, cuttlefish balls. So this dish is actually really popular in Hong Kong. I've never actually had it before, but it's a well known dish and it's well known to have Chiu Jiao roots. And I'm telling you, this is a great lunch food.  And this is just hitting home. All right, this is the assorted seafood tom yum style. I'm just gonna pour it out into this larger bowl here. Ooh, you got mussels and shrimps and all types of things. Pick up a seafood, I'm gonna go for a shrimp. Guys, too tight. Surprisingly got the quality on lock, man. It's a small spot, but it's doing a lot. Tom yum soup. Aren't you guys last but not least? Like we said, this spot is not the cheapest of all Chinatown cheap eats, but the quality is there. It's in a little bit of Chinatown extended, LES, McZone.  They have a durian sticky rice. This, I feel like, is a dish that you're really only gonna find at specialty dessert spots.  What about durian over rice? Let's get phoned. Whoa! As a person who's actually grown to love Chilchow food over the past several years of my life, guys, I am so glad that Two-Tie Kitchen opened because not that many spots serve Chilchow food in Chinatown right now, but this spot is doing it right. All right, our next spot here on Chinatown Cheap Eats is a kind of unexpected coffee shop that's actually been here low-key for a few years now, but this is my first time ever grabbing a coffee where at Chantum Square, this is Oliver's coffee. Yo, have you ever been here? I've been here. They have a solid cold brew, but it's a little too cold for the cold room. I have to go with something warmer than that. I like this because it is adding some hipster vibes. They have macadamia milk. They have coconut. They have hemp milk. Hemp milk? We're about to go check out Oliver's coffee inside. They love their fashion, their photography, and their books. So let's check it out. A spot like this I would not attract to be in Chinatown, but it's 2021 and we got coffee shops all over the place, but at least it's good coffee. Now we had been asking for a McDonald's China imitation sandwich in Chinatown. Flushing had one, Bensonhurst had one. Chinatown finally has one at one cup of tea. This looks like a McDonald's menu right now. Look at it. Ah! This is the closest thing we have in Chinatown to imitation McDonald's China. Oh my goodness. It doubled the chicken patty. This is like one of those double joints that you occasionally see. D, are you ready for this? You guys. Are you sure you want to do this? The chronicles to search for the best Shanghai McDonald's McSpicy imitation has begun. Actually guys, this is actually pretty solid. I'm going to go ahead and give it the 6.75 out of 10, maybe the 7 out of 10. However, it doesn't really fully taste like the McDonald's version. It almost tastes like those Chinese fast food chains. They are also serving Western food. This is still pretty solid though. A lot of pepper, double chicken patty, little bit too much New Orleans flavor from you. Guys, next up is a spot that is right on the cusp of Chinatown, right on the cusp of what? The police station? Yeah, I would say this is like, Loonage is like the bridge from Chinatown to like Fidai. Right, right. Because there is, what? You just go under a bridge over there, right? Go under a bridge and you're practically right by the trade center. That's a good point. You guys, this is really interesting because you can argue that this is like the only pizza spot in Chinatown. Absolutely. Even though like, you're not gonna find probably any Chinese people in there. You don't want, the pizza's that good. You're mine, you're mine. It's not good, the pizza. But the pizza's good, so let's check it out. You can palm slice, and can I do a lasagna slice? And then what do you think? Should I get a spicy pepperoni and sausage? That looks good. Yeah, this looks good. Can I get that too? Marco, you are Italian. What do you think traditional Italian spots don't typically have like a lasagna slice or a chicken palm slice, right? Yeah, this is just the elevation of pizza. This is the pizza game. This is like the new normal. 10 years ago you didn't have any of this. People are taking like entire dishes like eggplant, palm, and converting them into slices. And they're even somewhat putting pasta on it too. Right? I mean, pizza game's crazy right now. Oh no. I don't even know what's the, what's the hymn? Oh no. This is Italian-owned. It's sort of like just situated in a very interesting place. And pizza looks pretty good. Not cheap. Five bucks a slice. You know what? It's not cheap. You know, it's a quality though, you know? And also, you know, you're getting pepperoni and sausage, five dollars. I mean, today's world is not that bad. Yeah, that's true. There's a lot of inflation. The ports are all backed up. This is a lasagna slice. I've been wanting to eat a lasagna slice for a long time now. So let's check it out. This is cheap Chinatown eats guys. Luna pizza. Oh, I love that. Oh, are you luring? I'm not married. I'm married. Luna's just the name. Where are you guys from? You know my mom and dad? I'm from Morocco. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Neighbor, say neighborhood. You know this guy? Yeah. This is the neighborhood spot. Long time. This lasagna slice is really, really good. It actually mimics the flavor of that dish pretty well. Oh, it's amazing. You know, even with this is salient slice, look at that undercarriage right there. It's crispy, fluffy. Got two different types of fresh mozzarella cheese. Now, I believe it's fresh mozzarella cheese. And what's the other one? And grande. How you doing?  I didn't grow up eating this stuff. To have it on a slice is a cool way to make it more accessible. We got the vodka slice, but I'm going to make it a spicy vodka slice. There we go. All right, you guys. I mean, we had to top it off here. Cheap Chinatown eats Luna's pizza. They got cannolis.  This is freshly made right now. Crispy only outside and just... You were making a comparison with like Chinese food earlier.  This is the Italian egg roll. Same size. Same size. Obviously the inside is just cannoli cream. The cannolis here on Luna's pizza. Wow. That is fresh. That's fresh you made. Like that's good. Zero sogginess. This is one of the best things about living on the East Coast. Cannolis everywhere. Everywhere, yeah. Come check out Luna's pizza. Chinatown was always in a state of change. With the rent prices changing, new properties popping up, newly arrived immigrants coming in, you can expect things to look different over time. And not to mention the pandemic really put that change into high gear. And while all business owners will say that Chinatown is not back to 100% or even close, there's definitely some new hope. There's actually a lot of new, cheap quality eats, while also some new higher end concepts are trickling in too. There's still plenty of the old spots and there's still a strong spirit. Sometimes all you can do is enjoy, support and embrace the evolution.


So during the game, so when there is some critical moment, I used to get very tensed. So we were speaking about this responsibility is limitless. If I am conscious, maybe I can avoid it, but if I am not, like sometimes it's on and off. But if I am not conscious, if I get tensed, is there a way to come out of it like immediately? See, what is tension? Let's understand this.  Tension or stress means a limited amount of madness actually, small variation, I mean small sample you are having of madness, isn't it? Essentially, your thoughts are bombarding you at a pace that you can't handle.   Don't worry about all those things. You just have to play this one more right, isn't it?  With all this, you will be less than yourself.  If somebody is better than us, they will win, what to do? Hello? It's all right? Somebody is better than us, they will win, what can we do about that? But we are less than ourselves, that is a crime. That crime if you do not commit, rest is okay. I know that is the whole training in the world. How this pragnananda wants to win all the chess games in the world, don't do that. Don't try to win all the games in the world. This one move, you must do it right, that's all. Hello? How do you win all the games in the world? Only in your dreams you can do that. Hello? In reality, you can only make one smart move, isn't it? They're not even allowing two at a time, are they? Only one. So only one smart move you have to make. You don't have to make the next one and the next one. Well, you try to foresee what will he do, all right? What will he do, you can foresee to some extent, but you still don't know. You still don't know. You may be expecting him to make a very intelligent move, you may make a dumb move.  So for this what you need is to be conscious. To be conscious means the more… See, this is the nature of the mind, why people's minds are just running away beyond them, ease. It is like why somebody is running to the toilet every five minutes, ease. They've eaten something bad. Yes or no? So if you've eaten something bad, one way to stop it is take a tablet, do this, do that and stop. That's one way if it's an emergency. But the most significant thing to do is stop eating the bad food which upsets you. So the same goes for your mind. The bad food that you can eat is, you identify yourself with something that you are not. When I say that we've gone through the inner engineering, the body, the mind, everything, we gathered, isn't it?  No. So just to sit here as a life and look at it with the best possible way. And what we figure, we figure. What we don't, we don't, isn't it? But our ability to figure something is greatly reduced. The moment we have unnecessary level of thought process. So you handle only one move at a time. When you practice, you… you practice all the moves, whatever. But when you're playing, only one move. This move, if you do it right, and wait to see what the other person does, that's all there is, isn't it? And when the other person does, you have no conclusion about this is a great player, don't even look at their face.  Just look at this, where is he putting it? That's all that matters, isn't it? So I'm saying your presence of mind for the game is more important than any plans that you've drawn up. All these plans and stuff is to flex your mind so that you're conversant with everything. You're conversant with all the things that can happen on the board before you go there. How many million ways they can do it into whatever extent you can, you're trying to figure it out before the game. But when you sit for the game, it's only one at a time, isn't it? So because if you don't know the game and you sit there, of course that's a different game. You know the game, now all you have to do is to be alert to what's happening. For this you don't need any great plans. Well, maybe you've figured out what is his natural tendency, how he plays the other person, so what you should do but don't be conscious about it, don't give too much importance to it.  Brilliant move if he does, how to counter it, we should have thought it out.  Hello?  So you don't think about all these things, you just pay attention, that's all. Human attention is paramount importance, not human thought, human attention. You want to hit a ball, you want to move this, your attention, how keen it is, that's all that matters, isn't it? What great thoughts and desires you have will not matter. So never try to be a champion, I'm saying. Just be a great chess player, others will say you're a champion, that's great. If others say you're a champion, that's a great thing, we would like to see that.  Let's do that.


Hello, my name is Zeke. Your name is? David. Nice to meet you, man. All right, so who is on the $1 bill? George Washington. George Washington. There we go. See, it's a very simple question. Would you like to take the dollar and walk away, or go for the $20 question? Let's go all the way with the $20. All right, we're going with the $20 question. Here we go. Nine, three different currencies. The Euro, one, two, and the American dollar. That's three. There we go. Hey, that's $20. All right, so here we go. All right, for the $50 question. Here we go. In the form of the stock market, right? What is a dividend king? A what? A dividend king. Oh, shoot. I never heard of that, but I'll just guess at it. I guess it's the people that be doing the investment. God, hey man, thank you for participating, man. Thank you.


It's a great night here at the ballpark. The Dayton Dragons hosted hometown heroes night. It's great tonight that we get to come out here and show them some of the things that we do on base. We have our POD robots and our medical technicians, our firefighters, a lot of things that we do on base. We can give back and share that with you a little bit. It means a lot to me that we get to have this unique relationship with the local community in Seabright, Pat. They gave us 800 free tickets to come out tonight for hometown heroes here at the Dayton Dragons. It's really special for me and all of my airmen to get to be part of this second and unrelationship that we share between the United States Air Force and this amazing local team. I state your name. Do solemnly swear that I will support and defend. Swearing in new troops is one of the coolest things that a commander gets to do because I know we're setting these folks on a path into the Air Force tonight. For the first time I got to enlist the Marine Corps troops, which I've never done before. We're setting these folks on a path to serve their country with pride. I know they're going to do great things and it's really an honor for me to get to start their careers.


Hi everyone, Joe for jazby's casewrakes.com coming at you with the Rays, White Sox, Mets, Cubs, Twins, Rangers, Guardians, Rockies, random number block randomizer. This is going to help fill up Diamond Icons. That's coming up in a separate video. That's how it works if you're not familiar with it. Remember the zero gets any and all redemptions rule, although I don't think there should be too many in Diamond Icons. Big thanks to this group for making it happen. Thanks to Travis and Sean for getting spots straight up and then congrats on the winners of these spots and those two fillers that we did. There are the numbers here. Let's go. Let's roll it. Let's randomize names and numbers, three and a six, nine times for each list. One, two, three, four, five. And ninth and final time, you got Steve down to Allen, three and a six, nine times for the numbers. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and good luck, ninth and final time. After nine, we got seven down to six. All right, Steve, you got seven. Michael with four, Sean with five, Michael with eight, Jeremy one and zero. Now usually I'd say zero gets any and all redemptions for that group of teams and they're including one-of-one redemptions and one gets, still gets live one-of-ones but Jeremy's got both of those bases covered right there. Steve with three, Travis with two, Jeremy with nine, Allen with six. All right, that's the randomizer. I'll see you in the next video for the break, jaspercasebreaks.com.


meeting the Prime Minister of our country. How do you quickly put it in words? I'm still in a daze. He met me and we shook hands as I entered the room and he said, Aiyo! Aiyo is a prefix to my social media handle. It's called Aiyo Shraddha and the fact that he remembered it and he remembered my face and Aiyo and he said, Aiyo! In fact, if the photographers have clicked that picture, it's a picture of he going Aiyo and me going, because I did not expect him to say that. It was a very, very wonderful warm chat. He told us how proud he was about the way the South Indian film industry has showcased the beauty of our country, the richness of our country.


Good afternoon everyone, thank you for joining us. This webinar is an introduction to accessing and using the European social survey data. So a quick introduction, my name is Simon Parker, I work in the training and user support team at the UK Data Service based at the University of Essex and I'm joined here by Alan Humphrey, who's the head of household surveys in the survey research centre at NatSense Social Research. I'm going to hand over to Alan and who's going to be taking you through an introduction to the European social survey. Okay, hello everyone, as Simon said, my name is Alan Humphrey, I am head of household surveys at NatSense Social Research and I'm also the national coordinator for the European social survey in the United Kingdom. Each country has a national coordinator, that's that I look after the UK. What I'm going to be talking through today is as we can see there an introduction to accessing and using data from the ESS. Just to give you a quick guide as to the contents, I'm going to give a quick introduction to the ESS just so you've got some background on how it works and what its purpose is. Many of you will know this already but it's a useful background. I'm also going to provide some very quick basic examples of how the data are used really just to demonstrate how the data can actually be used. But I'm going to spend most of the time actually talking about how to access the data and I'm going to do that in two ways. The main way I'm going to do it is to demonstrate the NESTAR online analysis tool which is operated by the Norwegian data archive who are basically the curators of the ESS data based in Norway. I'll also at the end show you how you can actually download the data sets yourself so you can actually undertake your own analysis. Okay so just to start with an introduction to the ESS. It's been running really since the turn of the century that the funding was first provided back in 2001 and the first fieldwork wave was undertaken shortly after in 2002. It won something called the Daycard Prize for Research in 2005 and really what that is that the Daycard Prize is a prize which is administered through the European Union and it's to reward outstanding achievement in sciences basically for collaborative research projects across Europe and the ESS was awarded that. It was the research aspect of the prize. It was the first social sciences survey to be awarded that prize. Really I mentioned that just to demonstrate that this is a really well regarded and well run institution. In 2013 it became something called an ERIC which is a European Research Infrastructure Consortium. Essentially what that means is that the ESS has its own legal entity. It just means it's more secure and the funding is secure for the next two or three years at any one given time. So the background it is a cross national survey and it is primarily and almost entirely focused at measuring attitudes. So what it seeks to do is to look at how do attitudes vary across time and across different countries so those countries being European countries and it's academically driven. I'll show you how the questionnaire is devised or the process which that happens in a moment but basically it is driven by specialists academics in with particular research interests so survey methodologists and subject experts in a range of different fields. And it's run by Enly so that's every two years. So the first round was in 2002. Later this year 2018 the ninth round will take place across a number of countries. So we've got eight rounds of data completed so far and that covers a total of 36 countries on that in a moment and you could see there 370 thousand interviews and all the data are freely available for non-commercial use. So you just have to undergo a very short registration process at the NSD which is the Norwegian data archive. You can then access the data to your hearts content provided of course it's for non-commercial purposes. So to date in excess of 100,000 people have done that worldwide. Many of them students many of them academics also people in government and NGOs and there's been an excessive 3,000 publications which have used ESS data. Methodology is really important it's based on random probability sampling now this isn't a sampling course but random probability sampling as many of you will know is essentially the most robust method for producing a sample that represents the population in which you're interested in. The fieldwork is conducted face-to-face by interviewers last approximately an hour but that does vary of course from country to country because they're translated into different languages. Most countries use computer assisted interviewing in fact from later this year that will be mandatory for ESS participating countries and the questionnaires are translated for what's called functional equivalents. So what that means is obviously that a prime purpose of the survey is to undertake cross-national research that you want a questionnaire which means the same in every single country in which it's being fielded. So that's functional equivalents rather than literal equivalents. So what happens is that the source questionnaire is written in English then local experts often the national coordinators organize translating that questionnaire so that it has as far as possible the exact same meaning as the English original. As you might imagine there's a very strong focus on standardization of procedures so the sampling procedure is must be random probability. Lots of interviewer instruction and training so to standardize their approach in terms of asking the questions exactly as they appear in the questionnaire and not paraphrasing or not interpreting the questions for example for respondents and that's to ensure that when analysts are using the data they can be confident that as far as possible the questions have been fielded in exactly the same way across all the different countries. ESS countries seek to maximize response to get the highest response rates for the survey and then the data are aggregated once field work is complete in a completely consistent format that's obviously crucial for analysts who want to undertake cross national research so you can be confident that the variables are in exactly the same format for every single country. So just to outline that the countries that participate the map on the screen there shows all the different countries that have participated not going to go into detail here but what you can see is the sort of light yellow bar countries are the ones that have participated in all eight rounds United Kingdom among many countries there so for those countries we have data for every single round since the ESS started in 2002. Now in terms of the questionnaire I said I'd say a little bit more about this the way it operates is that there are kind of two parts of the questionnaire so on the left hand side of the screen there you can see the core topics like crime democracy and politics etc. Questions on those subjects are fielded in every single round of the ESS so that means that you can look at a variable a question it would have been fielded since the beginning usually of the survey so you can get time series analysis from back as far as 2002. That takes up about half of the questionnaire and then in addition each round will have usually two but not always what we call rotating modules and again I'm not going to go through all of these in detail but essentially they focus on one particular topic and go into much more detail so you might have say 40 or 50 questions on one particular topic and what's more some of those modules are actually repeated over time so to take an example in round one 2002 there was a module on immigration in round seven that module for the most part was repeated again so what that means is you've got a detailed set of questions you can compare the data cross-nationally across all the European countries and in addition for that particular model you can also do some really detailed time series analysis so comparing how things have changed in different countries over time so I said I'd give some examples as to how ESS data are actually used and this isn't to sort of talk in detail about what the data actually show it's really just to highlight the sorts of analysis that ESS data enables us to undertake that these are both examples that Nat said the organization I work for has produced so this first one is actually looks at the most recent round of data the round eight data and that was a set of questions on climate change so people's attitudes to climate change etc and this particular piece of analysis focused primarily on well entirely on those questions but just on looking at cross-national so we had a number of different countries participating in round eight that module of questions there wasn't really any time series that can be done because they haven't been fielded in that way before but a really detailed picture of how attitudes to climate change for example climate change skepticism compares to across different European countries and that's one of the fundamental objectives of the ESS to see how attitudes change across European countries and what we could see there is there were some big differences between the countries we could also look within the countries and we could see the attitudes as you might expect varied by age and also by educational attainment actually those relationships were different so they were different in the UK compared to some of the other European countries so that's one example of how the data can be used another example ESS data again this was something conducted by produced by Nat Sen this was attitudes to racism and this drew on a number of different data sources including our own panel on the British Social Attitude Survey this used ESS data on from round seven and some really interesting questions on biological racism so for example and this just focused entirely on the UK we didn't look at countries across Europe but we were very much interested in the UK which is why we also use British social attitudes data and we found that nearly a fifth of people actually in the UK agreed with the statement that some races or ethnic groups are born less intelligent obviously quite a key finding there to just demonstrate that the extent of racial prejudice in Britain and that used ESS data so that's an example of just using one particular country and using one of the detailed modules really looking in depth at one particular topic in one particular country so those are just two examples that just highlight how the data can actually be used so what I'm going to do now I'm actually going to show you how you can use the data yourself and as I said I'm going to do that in two different ways firstly I'm going to use an online analysis tool this is run by nsd which is the the curators of the data the ESS data based in Norway and we're going to go to their websites and look at how we can actually undertake some some relatively quick easy and basic analysis using using that tool so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go online and I'm going to go to their website and the website that we're going to go to is up here at the top www.EuropeanSocialSurvey.org and if you were to type that in you would go straight to the European Social Survey Data Archive hosted by NSD in Norway you can see there are a range of options on the screen that you can use there what we're going to do first of all is we're going to go to the online analysis tool so I'm going to the menu here data and documentation then I'm just going to scroll down to online analysis I'm going to click on that and that will take us to this new screen which is the Nestar which is the the tool for actually undertaking the analysis it's the Nestar website hosted in Norway and what you're faced with here is a screen with the variables down here on the left-hand side and I'll just explain how these are structured so what you can see is each round here so that's ESS round 1 round 2 round 3 and this basically operates just like Windows Explorer so it's a kind of hierarchical structured set of variables so I'm going to click on round 7 and you can see when I do that that opens up to submenus and within that variable description if I click on that it's a little plus sign it opens up all the various different sets of modules so these are modules of questions I'm going to show you how to use those in a moment so what we're going to do is we're going to produce a quick table and what we're going to say is let's say we're interested in finding out people's interest in politics and how that compares across the European countries so we're going to click on tabulation up here towards the top and when I do that what you can see is that it's opened up a blank table and you can see that it's going to have the the top break across there and the side break down down the side here so we're interested in how attitudes to politics compare across countries now I happen to know that that particular variable is in the politics section here so I'm just going to click on the little plus sign there and that will open up all the different variables that these are all the different questions individual questions that are included within that model module on politics and the top one there is the one I'm interested in today how interested in politics so I'm just going to left click on that and a little box will appear up add to row add to column add us filter or add as measure what I would like to do is I'm going to add that as a row variable it's going to appear in this part of the table so I'm going to see a frequency of attitudes to so interested in politics down the side so I'm going to click on that very briefly it's going to ask for my login which I'm just going to type in here so when you want to use this you will have to go through a very short registration process just to type in that address correctly and straight away there we have our frequency so what we can see here at the moment is that we've got the frequency very interested we can see 12 percent of people very interested in politics going down to 18 percent not at all interested that's the picture across the whole of Europe what I really want to do is I want to see how does that compare by country so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to add country as a variable across the top here so I can see the responses broken down by different country as you might expect the country variable is in here in that country section I'm just going to open that up there's only one variable in there again I'm going to left click on that I get the same little dialog box opening up there this time I'm going to add it to column so I click on that it turns away and here's our table so we now can see how the responses to that question interest in politics vary across the European that all the European countries that participated in that particular round in round 7 however one thing I still need to do is I need to wait the data so this at the moment is an unweighted table and I really need to wait it so how do I do that I'm actually going to use a little icon actually see here so there we go so there's a little icon with some scales on that you can see here when I hover over that the word weight appears and I'm going to click on that and I'm going to add the weight okay now what I'm going to do you can see this opens up a little dialog box which I'm just going to go quickly back to my presentation because I'm just going to explain a little bit about waiting data so just going to quickly move through these screens here that I've just shown you so waiting that the data now this is not a statistics course I'm not going to go into detail about how waiting actually operates but as many of you will know for various reasons for example certain types of people being more or less likely to participate in surveys the raw unweighted survey data may not reflect the profile of the population that we're seeking to represent now on ESS there are three different types of weight and I'm just going to briefly describe each of those to you now so that you will know exactly which weights to use when you are undertaking analysis so the first one is what's called the design rate and all this is is reflecting and correcting for the fact that some people have a higher chance of being selected to take part in the survey than others so as a random probability survey we select addresses we send our interviewers to those addresses and if there's more than one person at that address the interviewer has to make a random choice now what that means is that people in single person households will automatically get chosen people in households where there are more than one person have a lower chance of being selected the design weight simply corrects so it means that everyone has an equal chance of being selected which is a fundamental aspect of probability sampling and don't worry too much about if you don't follow that I'll explain how to use them in a moment the next component is the post stratification weight and that includes the design weight what the post stratification weight does is it essentially forces the sample to be representative of the population we're interested in and on ASS it does this in terms of the age the sex the region and it also to some countries education attainment now for example most surveys tend to under represent younger people younger people are just less likely to take part in surveys so what the post stratification weight does is it correct for that it just weights up the proportion of younger people so that the overall sample is reflective of the general population now the post stratification weight also includes the design weights okay so these two weights are essentially combined in the post stratification weight and then the final one is the population size weights now as I'm sure you're all aware they're obviously very large differences in population size between European countries so for example Germany has a population of 82 million Belgium has a population of just 11 million but on ESS will probably have similar numbers of participants in each of those countries now if we were to just add them together without correcting for that what that means is that the Belgian respondents would kind of have an equal share compared to the German respondents but what we need to do is correct for that so that the German respondents are reflective of the relative population size so they will have a much higher weight using the population size weight okay so so which weight should you use so basically to summarize what I've just said in most cases you will be using either one of two weights so you'll either use the using the post stratification weight which of course includes the design weight or that the also you'll be using the population weight so when you're looking at a country on its own so we're just interested for example in the UK we only need to use the post stratification weight but if we're also looking at two or more countries at the same time we also in addition to that need to use the population weight okay and that last bit the population weight all that does as I said is it just gives that the right proportion to each individual country when you're adding them together okay so what I'm going to go back and do now is show you how to do that so I've gone back now to our live nest our analysis I remember if you remember I clicked on the little scales icon and that brought up this little dialogue box here and in there you can see the various different components of the weight now remember what we're doing here is we are looking across all the different European countries okay and so we are going to use both the post stratification weight and also the population correction weight so I'm going to click on the post stratification weight here and I'm going to select it there I'm then going to click on this little arrow and you will see that that then then deposits it in this box here waiting variables selected in addition to that I also want the population size weight okay and I'm going to click again on that arrow there and it then moves that into the waiting variables selected so I've selected these two variables I then simply have to click on okay and that will apply the weight to the table now just whilst we're here you can see down the bottom of part of the screen here waiting information there is a little bit more information on what I've just said so that summarizes or goes into a little bit more detail about how the different weights are calculated and what their purpose is just in case you need a refresher okay so I'm going to click on okay and after a short delay I now have a weighted table and and how can I tell that the table is weighted well two things mainly the scales icon is highlighted down here and you can see it says weight is on but also if I just draw your attention I can now see some of the bigger population countries for example the United Kingdom you can see that n as in the total sample size at the bottom is quite large 5,300 for the UK Germany which is over here 7,000 at the bottom here so if I do our comparison we compare Germany 7,000 to Belgium which is just under a thousand you can see that Germany is about seven or eight times as as big in this population weighted data set than Belgium and that's just the being implemented by that population weight if we took that population weight off we would see these samples come back to fairly similar across the different European countries so essentially what we've just done in a few minutes is we just produced our table and we can see here how attitude or interest in politics varies across the European country so we can see 16% of the UK population is very interested in politics that compares with just 10% in Belgium and just 3% in the Czech Republic okay and we can actually scroll across over to the far side here and there is actually a a total column at the end there where you can see the overall interest in politics so that's that's how we've produced a simple table and you can produce any number of tables using exactly the same approach of course you can you don't have to do it by country you can break down answers to one question by another using exactly the same process that I've just done so we could have interest in politics cross-analyzed by something different so for example trust in the country's parliament we could add that instead of country if we were particularly interested just to show you one more aspect of this analysis tool which is the subset command we may be interested not only how attitudes interest in politics varies across country but we may want to look at just younger people so we may want to look at a subset of our respondents and we're going to do that using this little icon here so if you can see subset appears I'm going to click on that and then a dialogue box comes up and so what I now need to do is I now need to select a variable to essentially filter this data I want to look at age so again I need to find age in the list of variables down the left hand side here now I happen to know that the age variable is in this block here gender year of birth and household grids so again I click on that little cross there and it opens up all the individual variables in there and I can see there this age of respondent is in there so again if I click on there this time I get the option to add it to subset because I've clicked the subset command so I'm going to click add to subset and then you can see over in the dialogue box over here age of respondent has appeared now we said we wanted to look at just younger people so what I'm going to do is I'm going to filter it on everyone who's under the age of 36 so up to 35 so I type 36 in here and I add that into the value there and you can see this box here has a number of logical operators which I can select just by this drop down arrow here you can see them all appear so we can do greater than less than less than or equal to etc now I've chosen 36 so I'm going to choose less than 36 that gives me up to 35 so we have age of respondent is less than 36 and I'm going to click on okay and then after a short delay I now get a table which is filtered and you can now see that the filter is on and the weight is on and just to show you that there if you remember when we were looking at the United Kingdom earlier I think it was 15.5 percent of people were very interested among the younger people as drop down to 9% and you can also see here that less people are actually in the table so we've got 1700 as opposed to the 5000 or so that we had for the whole population so I've now shown you the way of undertaking pretty much all the sorts of analyses or basic cross tabulation analysis that you that you might want to do now you might want to chart or produce your some tables yourself and there are a number of options at the top here I'm not going to go into these in any detail but there are some charting tabulation icons up there but what you can also do is you can also actually export the data to a spreadsheet and you do that using that little icon there okay and if you were to click on that you would just get an option there of where you would like to actually open an Excel sheet I'm not going to do that now but you can see there if I would click on open this would take me to Excel I might just try and do that if you can see that so opening Excel and there I have my table exactly as it showed on screen in Excel I can now produce charts or I can copy that into a report and take that in any format that I want to moving on from there okay so so that is basically the online analysis tool the only thing I'm going to show you now is the other way of actually getting at the data is to actually download the data yourselves you may want to do that now as you've seen the analysis I've done here very quick very easy and great for doing quick bits of analysis if you want to do something more substantial and you actually want to be able to run it and rerun it you may prefer to actually be able to download the data in SPSS or stator format and undertake the analysis yourself of course you can then write syntax which you can save and you can repeat the analysis you can change it much more easily okay so what we're going to do just going to show you briefly how you do that not going to show you any actual analysis we go back to European social survey.org that takes us back to that screen that I showed you a short time ago again we're going to click on data and documentation at this time rather than going to online analysis we're going to go to cumulative data wizard and that is the system for actually producing your own bespoke data set so here you can see that this is the process of doing this essentially what you can do is you can choose which years you're interested in which countries you're interested in and which modules of questions you're interested in so you can just ask for everything but that would be a very big data set so rather than doing that you may just want to choose the ones you're interested in let's say I was doing a bit more analysis on the politics questions in ESS so I might want to choose the politics module so I click in that box there I'm also going to want to look at some of the socio demographic variables for example age so I'm going to click on that box there and over here I choose which rounds or which countries I'm interested in now if I was only interested in one country say it was United Kingdom I might just click on that country there that would give me all the rounds of data for the UK I could just click on the latest I could just only want one year that the latest round or I may want to look at all countries for round seven and all countries for round one for example and you can see how that operates so essentially I'm just clicking which years which question countries and which question modules I'm interested in now I'm not going to do this because it will then try and start producing a big SPSS data set for me so I'm not going to do that now what you may find is that in order to do this you do need to sign in again here to the data wizard to do that but as I said I'm not going to do that but that is how you produce your own bespoke data set that you can then save on your own networks obviously completely anonymized so you can do that as much as you want now finally just before we finish I'm just going to briefly show you the how to access the documentation that you might want to use now obviously I've picked on variables here that I happen to know because I looked at them before but you may not be so familiar with the data set the data archive has an excellent system for documenting all the different questionnaires etc so you can see data and documentation again it's in here by country by theme by year I'm just going to click by year and there's all sorts of things so you can get the data an integrated file this way if you want you can get the source questionnaire here in PDF format so you can quickly click on that I'm actually going to go into an individual round and show you the more extensive documentation that there is so this is round seven so here's all the files that you can get all the different data files the main file is the is integrated file there and then there's all the documentation here field work documents so there's the main questionnaire you can see the show cards that the interviewers used you can use the project instructions that the interviewers were given so if you want to know any particular assistance that was provided or guidance that was provided to interviewers when asking an individual question you might find it in there the other thing that I think data analysts will find really valuable is what's called the data protocol so this can almost be used instead of the questionnaire so if you know there was a question for example an interest in politics you open up the data protocol and what that's essentially is is a listing of all the variables exactly how they're structured and crucially what the variable name is where they appeared so you can quickly find them when you want to do that online analysis so there's a whole raft of other documentation which is available and might be useful for users when doing detailed data analysis ok and then just finally just for more help that you might want when using this facility I'm just going to go back to the online analysis and let's quickly recreate it's a nice way of doing a recrees and so let's just say we want to recreate that table very quickly so we chose the the year over here we chose tabulation we chose variable description we opened that up we knew that we were looking for the question on interest in politics so we opened up that set we found our interest how interested in politics question we added it to a row we then found the country variable we added that to our column and finally we waited the data by choosing the post stratification weight and the population size correction weight we produced that so there's our table and what I did want to show you again this isn't quite on my screen but over on the right hand side there is actually a little question icon which you can click on I have actually got a picture of that quickly go back to the PowerPoint so that's quickly just move through here it's not on there here we go over here so the little icon the question mark icon over on the right-hand side if you click on that that will take you to the Nestar manual and lots of information about how to actually undertake analysis using Nestar okay showing you the the output to Excel so that's the help icon and that's the online guidance and contact details for nsd in Norway and you can actually should you wish to if you have a complicated query contact them directly so I've shown you basic tabulation there is actually the facility in there to do more detailed analysis for example correlations and regressions that there is a facility to do that I would suspect that most people who want to do that level analysis would probably wish to download the data set and do that themselves in SPSS or status so I'm not going to demonstrate that at all today well thank you very much everyone for attending and thank you very much Adam for this very informative presentation and goodbye


Is this lighting strange? I think so, but I'm not gonna move it. So, new video time, new video time, new video time, new video time with Tom. Okay, so what I've been realizing that I've been doing and I should do, I haven't been really introducing myself in the videos. Well, I'm Tom, my name is Tom and I live in America. I am from Connecticut. And that's all I'm gonna say because I don't want you guys to stalk me. Okay, so here we go, new video time. Okay, so what I'm gonna be talking about today is an article that I read on our website, psych2go.net, about friends with benefits and what do experienced individuals and studies conclude about this? Well, basically, you guys have heard about the new movie, well, not really new, it came out like three or four years ago. The movie called Friends with Benefits, which features Me, the Kunis and Justin Timberlake. They've brought this sort of a common complexity to light. Is that a good way to put it? I thought so. So basically in the movie, you know how towards the end they kind of are like, oh my God, I love you. I wanna be with you forever. Like, and then they're like, wait, no, but we just wanted to have sex. Well, that kind of Friends with Benefit relationships often experience this happening when they're unable to tell the difference between their emotions for the other person and simply the sex. Now, obviously one of the main questions is, do they work? Well, a Friends with Benefit relationship is defined as a sexual relationship between two friends who are not emotionally committed to one another, so obviously it's just for sex. It's not intimate, it's not intimate emotionally, it's intimate physically. These relationships are obviously hard to observe and therefore there's not a lot of research or studies to kind of back it up, but there has match.com did a study saying that they concluded that half of the college population currently or previously have engaged in a Friends with Benefit relationship as well as 47% of single people have previously engaged in a Friends with Benefit relationship and that's why when it comes to Friends with Benefit situations, these lines are often blurred all the time and it becomes hard to distinguish emotions from libido. Now Kendra Knight, a communications professor at a university in America, I'm not sure what university, conducted a study that proved qualitative results which means it's just descriptive results. She noticed that a pattern of these relationships failed and her study concluded that both parties agreed communication is vital but that they don't really need it. It was never really developed in this Friends with Benefit situation and the reason that these relationships failed is because talking about the relationship defeats the purpose of the entire situation, the relationship because if you're Friends with Benefits, you don't wanna say, oh, how was your day? You know, you thinking about getting a dog? Yes, me too. I'm having a hard time at work. No, you meet up and you know, you do your thing and then you go your separate ways, like power to you if you can make it work, you do you but like that's not what this is about at all and it defeats the entire purpose of the relationship. The students don't wanna seem clingy or insecure if they opened up about it.  You know, tell us how it went with the other person or yourself and why do you think it went that way? We're pretty curious as to know what happened. So thank you guys for watching so much. Be sure to check out the article on psych2go.net and be sure to check out our Tumblr which is psych2go as well on Tumblr and you can find me at my little social media links which are linked below. Thank you guys so much for watching. I'll see you guys next time. Love you, muah, bye.
