Hi everybody it's Sam here, thank you for watching my tutorial today so I'm going to be showing you how to make this beautiful lattice or plat fold card. This was requested quite a few people asked me to do a version of this style. Now I had a little look on Pinterest and there are hundreds and hundreds of different templates, there's just so many, but I wanted one that was quite thin and that ran from the very bottom to the very top so looking at the templates that were on there I've come up with this version and I think it's come together really nicely so that's one version, this is on five by seven but you can do this on any size card and then with this one here I've actually done that same piece here and I've popped it inside the card so you can see this is like a Cadbury's purple colour, so beautiful, really like these and I've used the new Butterfly Kisses collection by Dovecraft so let me show you how to make, I promise you, these easy cards. So first of all we need to make our template, like I said there are loads on Pinterest, lots of them are offering free downloads so you can download from there. If you do make your own template you can then photocopy it so you've got it to print whatever you need or if you want to make a digital version then you can use like Cricut Design Space or if you've got any software that you want that you know that you prefer to use then you can do. This here I'm using a piece of copy paper and this is a piece of two by six so this is my template and I'm going to redo another one so you know exactly how I've done it.  Next we want to go along this one here this line here and you're going to mark it every half an inch so I'm going to do like a little circle I'm going to just keep my ruler just slightly above that line and I'm just going to put every half an inch just a little dot okay and then bring your ruler down to the next line and repeat so again every half inch just bring that up there so you can see so you've got quarter inch increments along the outside here and then half inch increments on these two lines here then you want to just pop a line along the top here so you'll have a quarter inch marker here and here it's that second quarter inch marker in which will be half an inch you'll line up with these other half inch markers here this whole section now will become our fold and it's what we're going to use to wrap it around the top of the card and again at the opposite end just line up these two here which will hit the second quarter inch marker there and again just kind of blank that out so you know where you're working next what we want to do is create these now I've marked with a red line just to indicate that these are going to be your cut lines I'm going to pop it just on a angle there because that's how we're going to work what you want to do first of all is from the corner here which is here you're going to draw a line on the diagonal up to the first half inch section on the outer main line here so I'm just going to lay my ruler down and line it up with the dot like so then the next quarter inch marker so this one here you're going to line up to the first dot on the inner line here so again just lining that up and the key here is the precision and getting these lines you know perfect so all of the shorter lines will hit the first line here and all of the longer lines will hit the second outer line and if you stick with that then you'll get it you know you can't go wrong so again longer then the next one shorter longer shorter and once you get into the rhythm of doing that it will be very easy and I think by making your own template you really get an understanding of how everything's kind of coming together so I'm just going to carry on doing this until I've done all of them and when you're left with these last two just join them up to the very top so that one will join up like so and then that smaller one like so so you will have something like this next you want to grab your card blank so I have a pre-made store brought 5x7 and this left hand side you want to run along the folded side of your card and these two lines here will line up perfectly with the top and bottom of your 5x7 if it's a 6x6 just line up the markers until you're happy where they're positioned and then fold over any excess but I'm now just going to fold that one like so and then get yourself a strong clip and clip it within this section here you need to keep this free because this is where we're going to cut and then again fold over the bottom and make sure that paper's pulled nice and taut and again I'm just going to clip that one in place there okay so this is lined up with the fold of that card these are the Tim Holtz scissors here I want something that's got that real point because that will mean you won't get any splitting at the end of your cuts starting from the very corner the very bottom line you're just going to follow that to the end of the line and what I said during the live when I first made this is if you can try and do it in one cut so just position your scissors so that they will lay down and cut that all in one go you'll get a much neater finish and I'm just working my way along that template like so and just keep doing that until you get to the very end okay now when you get to the second to last so the last longest line you're actually just going to cut the whole corner away so like so but do not throw away that piece of cardstock because we're going to now stick that on the bottom so remove your template you can now throw that away because you've cut into it and you'll have all these cut lines here so now we're going to open this up and I'm going to turn it around next what you're going to do is every long arrow or big arrow so you'll see you've got a small arrow which would be your small cuts then you'll have a large arrow small large and so on miss the small arrow and you want to take the large arrow I'm going to bring it down to do it and you're going to fold it back on itself and I would burnish the sides so you have that effect so you can see the smaller arrows underneath and I've just brought that large arrow and pulled it down over the top now I'm using a 300 gsm cardstock I would recommend if this is the first time you're doing it maybe try it with a lighter cardstock so like a 220 or 240 so it's a bit softer but it does work with 300 but you do have to really kind of you know fold that cardstock down next you're going to grab the next large arrow so you're always missing the small one grab the larger one and fold it again back and the key to this is making sure that you're folding nice and flat but also the score line and the point of each of your arrows lines up with the score line here of the card now when you bring that one over you're then going to lock it underneath the previous one so you have that effect again miss the short one or the smaller one bring down the larger one again and just pop it under each time now I don't use any glue on the actual lattice I only add a little bit of glue on the bottom when we add this one on so I'm going to continue that now taking the every other and it will always be the larger arrow and folding it back over on itself okay so now you'll have something like that this one here you'll get a stick under that smallest arrow and then just line it up with the bottom of the card making sure that the fold on this little piece again lines up with all of that there so I'm just going to add a tiny bead of glue just along the bottom of that piece again I'm not adding any glue to the middle just feed it under the edge there and then if you use liquid glue you've got a little bit of wiggle time just just make sure that middle score line lines up with the middle of the card like so and we're going to trim a little bit away of this in a moment okay so that's now dry and then just very carefully fold the card back into its original shape and you can just grab your own folder now with this bottom piece here you see I've got a little bit where I've gone up probably a little bit higher there we go I can just pull it down a bit but you can just snip that away there like so and then what you want to do is just follow the same angle and just snip off the bottom there it just means you just get that same pattern and angle okay and that's it best now is just decorating the card now also another thing that's nice to do and I'll tell you how to create this effect here is with this card it's just open it up pop it in your scoreboard I'm going to do it so this flat edge is along the top and I just scored it three and three quarters on each side now I'm not going to do it on this one because I don't want to do it with this card but just score it three and three quarters and then flip it over and score again at three and three quarters and that's those two score lines the three and three quarter ones there and then you'll just fold it like that and stick it inside the card it's as simple as that so this one your both the three and three quarter score lines will be valleys and then this is the mountain which it already is so it's really easy and it just gives you a completely different look and then you can just decorate your card as you wish but for this one I do want to just keep it like so I'm going to have this end at the top and this one at the bottom so I've pulled out I'll show you all of the collection here and I will link the unboxing video so this is the new butterfly kisses there's just so much to the collection but I've focused on the decoupage and the paper pad for these cards so this is the decoupage kit and the decoupage will allow you to make these 3d toppers and there are eight I think it is yeah eight designs so that's one of them you have this one here with the bouquet I've got this one here which I made up before and then I have this one which is like a gift tag which I'm going to use on today's card and you can see all of them on there there's other ones as well and then that will all coordinate with the paper pad so again you can see some of the papers here I've pulled out all the kind of the geometric ones for these cards so I've got that purple one the green one and then I'm using this it reminds me of the spirograph when you used to create those flowers that's the one I'm using today so I've got a piece of silver card here which is three and three quarters by six and three quarters and then the pattern paper is three and a half by six and a half I've already stuck the pink on top of the silver there and then I'm going to stick that piece within this section and then I'm going to show you how you can weave some ribbon through so I've just stuck the topper down and then I've got one of the bows which also come in this new collection and I'm just going to add a little bit of hot glue and just stick that into the top of the topper and I'll just show you those are the bows there so you get the kind of magenta color there as well okay so first of all open up the card and I just want to weave this one in here like so then this one is going to go in the top one here and then just pull them both together so we've attached it to the card like so keeping it together and this is just the way I'm doing it there are you know lots of other ways that you can weave your ribbon if you would prefer so now with the end I'm going to then come back in the next one here so both of them through at the same time keeping them nice and flat and then again in through the next one and each time I'm just pulling it so that they sit on top of each other like so and you'll see you get the same nice pattern there and just keep repeating that until you get to the end and then when you get to the top just have one of them go through the very end one so this one can come around and that way you can tie your bow okay so that's that done and then I'm just going to finish it off with some Nuvo drops so I'm going to use the plum pudding and I love this one here which is the morning dew I'm just going to pop a few just around the sides so that's the finished card I like to do all different sizes so it takes a little bit of time to dry but not too long and then you can see that lovely design on the side there lots of room inside I'm just going to quickly open it there you can see that lovely pattern throughout and also if you use a white core then you'll get that lovely design there where you get the two colors together so do have a play around use pattern paper as well pattern card you can create some beautiful effects again if I bring that up a bit close you can see the Nuvo drops there as well and just all this dimension there's just you know there's a lot going on and again I'll bring that one back up so you can see and all the glitter's already on there as well it's just such a nice design and I hope for some of you that maybe have seen this design before and maybe been a bit nervous to try it hopefully this video now has encouraged you to you know give this card a go go check out some other templates as well that are out there and hopefully make some really beautiful cards so thank you for watching today if you have enjoyed today's tutorial then please check out some of the others that are popping up now if you

We just got this first official POV of Kentucky Flyer, so let's take a look at this and see what we have here. Goes up this small lift hill very quickly, has these awesome custom timber liner trains that look like the airplane, that's pretty cool there. Really awesome looking. Going on this first 52 degree drop, hit this double up section, we're going to have some great airtime here, it looks like haul through this turn here, and then we're going to hit the course back to the station. We have several great looking airtime moments, this triple down here, we're going to hit a couple more bunny hills, another airtime pop, and then the final brakes. Obviously, this is a very short ride, it's a small family coaster manufactured by Gravity Group. It's only 1,280 feet in length, but there are going to be 12 airtime moments on this, so a very short ride, but it's going to have a lot of airtime packed into that. It's actually really impressive now thinking about it and looking at the POV. We have a ride that is from first drop to final brakes, only about roughly 25 seconds in length. And there's going to be 12 airtime moments, that's actually really impressive. It's going to have a height of 47 feet, a drop of 45 feet, and a top speed of 35 miles per hour. I'm really looking forward to riding this at some point actually, I've heard a lot of great things about these small Gravity Group family coasters. Rides like Wooden Warrior at Quasi, Oscars Wacky Taxi at Sesame Place, heard lots of great things about these rides. Gravity Group is actually known in the United States for these smaller rides as besides their first three coasters they ever built all in the United States, which were bigger, very thrilling wooden coasters, they're known for these smaller rides and it seems like they do a really good job with them. Kentucky Kingdom is definitely a park I want to get out to in the next couple years and they have a great small collection of coasters. And I think Kentucky Flyer is really going to round out their lineup of coasters really well as they really right now only have a kiddie coaster and then four very thrilling coasters. They don't really have anything that's in between, something that people looking to get on more thrilling coasters can sort of transition into the bigger rides with. You know, they just have the really small one and then four really intense rides. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what this is going to bring to the park in terms of a better overall experience. I think it'll be great for them. I think a lot of enthusiasts are going to love this ride. It definitely looks to be really fun, have some great ejector airtime moments for sure. And I want to hear what you guys think about Kentucky Flyer. You excited to get out and ride this soon? I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what you guys all think about this ride. Make sure to comment below if you guys are going to ride Kentucky Flyer this year. And are you really looking forward to it? I think it's going to be really exciting. Be sure to stay tuned. I've got some more great content coming in the near future. I just hit 300 subscribers, so thank you all very much and have gained about five new subscribers today alone as of the recording of this video. So welcome everybody. Thanks for tuning in here. I'm actually thinking about a new series that I will start and I will probably release the first video of that series here in the really near future and just see how it goes over with you guys. I'm really looking forward to it. Make sure to like, comment and subscribe. Thank you all for watching. My name is CoasterDaddy. Bye.

Hi guys and welcome back to my latest video today. I wanted to do a video on non-pharmacological pain management things that you can do for your patients that are in addition to or maybe just solely what you're using for a patient. When you're not giving them pain medications or maybe just like in addition to like I said, pain medications. So these are all non-pharmacological measures. Some may work for your patients, some may not. Some hospitals may have certain policies on certain things or may not offer certain things. But these are all good things that you can do as nurses because as we know pain is physical but it's also mental. And so if you can kind of help someone perceive their pain differently or in a new manner then these things may help. Now some of these may help, some of these may not help. Just going to give you some general ideas. I've got a lot of them written on my phone so I'm just going to kind of be looking down here because I want to get through all of them. But my first thing that I wrote down, these are in no particular order is heat or ice or a hot washcloth or a cold washcloth. A lot of times if I have a patient that's nauseous I'll offer a cold washcloth for their head. Sometimes a heating pack or an ice pack, you just have to be very careful when using these that the temperatures are not too hot or too cold to where your patient can't sense it or could actually cause further damage. But it works really well for things like if they've got maybe a backache or maybe they have a headache and they want to put something on their head. Again, some hospitals are very specific about using heat or using cold because they've had instances where these things have actually caused damage to patients. So just make sure that you're following your hospital's policy or look into that before you just like get boiling water and dump it on a washcloth and put it on your patient.  So this can come in many forms, whether maybe you're talking to a patient or they have family members there, you're giving them a book to read music, TV on, lights on, just anything that can distract you from the pain that you're having. Now this doesn't really work for everyone. If you're in like 10 out of 10 pain, most of the time you don't want to be talked to, you don't want to watch TV. But for some people this may actually be enough to kind of not give them any pain medications or just be a good addition to the pain medication they've received. The next measure is exercise or movement or position change. Sometimes just something as simple as putting a pillow somewhere can really help with someone's pain. So elevating their extremities, maybe turning them, putting a pillow behind their back, putting a pillow between their knees, or for some people especially like your orthopedic people that are able to start mobilizing and getting up is getting them up out of bed, getting them moving, of course making sure you're like operating and working within your orders and what they actually are allowed to do and their capabilities. But just movement in general is so good for patients. I have so many patients or seen so many nurses that they say oh my patients in pain well they can't get up. Well treat their pain and then help them get up and move around because that is really ultimately what's going to help treat their pain in the end is just that movement and getting up. Movement helps us so many different things. We could just like talk about movement all day long but even on your patients that can't move much and move doing passive range of motion on them and moving their extremities for them may help maybe a good distraction and it's just good for that early mobility of patients who are not able to walk maybe or are down for now but eventually should be able to walk or move or whatever. So those are some of my different non-pharmacological, I don't know what that is so hard to say, non-pharmacological pain measures that I've written down. There's so many different things you can do and as nurses a lot of what we do for patients pain besides just give medications is this therapeutic sense of touch, sense of talk, sense of just being available and caring to our patients so that they feel that comfort which can in turn help with their pain. Again these things may not work for everyone some may work for some patients that may work for others some may not so use your best discretion and make sure you're being safe about doing all these things. So if you guys enjoyed this video make sure you give it a thumbs up if you have any other great different things that you've tried as nurses or seen leave them down below and I will see you guys in my next video. Bye!

Live from Atlanta, Georgia, it's theCUBE. Covering Citrix Synergy Atlanta 2019. Brought to you by Citrix. Hey, welcome back to theCUBE's coverage, day two of our coverage of Citrix Synergy 2019. Lisa Martin with my co-host Keith Jonesen and we've got another CUBE alumni joining us. Nina Gardner, president and principal analyst at Interarbor Solutions. My language skills are declining on day two. It's been a long day. It has been a long day. Speaking of, I've had a lot of great conversations with Citrix execs, customers, analysts over the last day and a half. People are very excited about what Citrix is doing with intelligent experience and really helping to, businesses to transform their workforces. But you have been following Citrix for a long time. So talk to us about some of the early days back in the 90s. I'd love to get your perspectives on what you saw back then and what your thoughts are about some of the things that they're announcing at this event. Sure, well back in 1995, 1996, the internet was still a new kid on the block and browsers were kind of cool, but how would they ever help a business? And then along comes this company that says, oh, we're not going to deliver things through a browser. We're going to deliver the whole app experience, apps that you're familiar with, your windows-based apps over the wire, over the internet protocol. Wow. So I remember at Internet Expo in New York, at the Javits Center, Ed Aya Kabuchi, the co-founder of Citrix, got up there and explained to how, yeah, we're going to deliver apps. And basically what they were describing was cloud computing as we know it today. Wow. It was very interesting, but we all kind of looked at him like he was a little crazy. Yes. That's been a long time and Citrix has made a name for itself since then, I was talking to David Hensel yesterday and I said, you know what, Citrix is a verb. I'm going to Citrix into an application. They established something for themselves. And ironically on stage yesterday, he said, 85% of the IT budget goes to keeping the lights on. And I would firmly, as pre-keynote yesterday, I say, you know what, Citrix is firmly in that 85% of they are rock fast, hard technology partner, but they're in that 85%, right? This intelligent experience, I think kind of pushes them into that 50% of innovation. What did you think about yesterday's announcements? Well, based on my memory from 1996, I think it's consistent that they're looking for something that's two or three years, maybe more out that will mature then, but they're not afraid of tackling it now. They have some really strong established businesses, but they're not resting on their laurels. They're looking at, I think, a problem that almost everybody can identify with. In the past, there were problems where people they could identify with in IT. The end user wasn't aware that anybody was Citrixing behind the scenes. Now they're identifying issues that people have with work. The fact that we're taking apps and services from multiple clouds, multiple data centers, some of them are owned companies, some of our partners, some across an ecosystem or a supply chain, and it's becoming rather crowded, disenfranchised, fragmented. And people, I think, are struggling to keep up with that amount of diversity. So we're dealing with, yet again, a heterogeneity problem, a reoccurring problem in technology. And Citrix is identifying with something that's a higher elevation than they had in the past. So they're not addressing just IT, although that's where the action is going to take place to solve some of these problems. But they're focused on just about all of us, whether we are working in a small two or three-person mom-and-pop shop or a 30,000-seat enterprise. And they've also done this pivot in the last, what we've heard in the last 24 hours, of really being positioned to the general user. Something that I didn't know until yesterday was that the majority of enterprise software has been designed for power users, which is 1% of the users. And so they really made that positioning pivot yesterday to, this is for the marketing manager, somebody in supply chain who has a day that is bombarded with seven to 10 apps. They're losing hours and hours of productivity a week. You can look at that in terms of the amount of dollars that's being spent or wasted. But really making this, bringing those tasks to the user, those actions to the user, rather than forcing the users to go out to all the different apps, put those pieces together. Oh, and then try to get back to our actual day-to-day function. Right. We wouldn't have to talk about user experience if these things have been designed properly in the first place. It's a bit myopic on behalf of the IT power designer that they often craft the product for themselves. That this is still the dark arts behind the curtain thinking. It's very difficult for a highly efficient, productive IT group to create something for a non-IT audience. And I don't blame them, but it has to happen. And it's going to happen one way or the other. So we've seen companies that have taken extraordinary steps on usability, Apple computers probably the poster child for this, look at where it got them. There are lots of mobile phones around 10 years ago before the iPhone. Why did the iPhone become so popular, so dominant because of the usability?  But still, if we're going to get IT in the hands of all people for productivity, what I look to as a fit for purpose mentality, no more, no less, you can't design it as if it's your own baby and your own special design, I don't know, once in a lifetime opportunity to strut your stuff. It has to be fit for purpose, and it can't just be monolithic. We're looking at little bits and pieces. So the Sophos recent acquisition that Citrix made is going to be able to start picking out productivity units for lack of a better term from different applications, assimilate those in an environment, the workspace, where the productivity, the workflow, the goal of accomplishing business outcomes comes first and foremost. So Dana, let's talk a little bit about the next level, because it's broken. Even when you look at modern applications, one of the applications they showed on stage yesterday was a cloud application, Salesforce. We know people who make a good deal of money simplifying Salesforce, which is a born in the cloud application. This isn't just about cloud versus legacy. This is about end user experiences and end users using applications in a way that make them productive. One of the things that caught me as soon as Citrix said that they want to be the future of work, I tweeted out, well, you can't be the future of work unless you start to automate processes and boom, intelligent experience. And the first thing that came to my mind was when we attended an event a couple of weeks ago with the RPA robotic processing, process automation tool that was very user-centric, but used the term bots, robots, software robots that did the job. Citrix only used the term bot once yesterday. What's your sense? Is this a competitive solution to those partners or is this more of a complimentary solution? I think Citrix is correctly trying to keep the horse in front of the cart and not the other way around. We have to look at work as flows of productivity first and not conforming to the app second. But to get out in front and say, oh, it's all going to be automated and the robot will tell you what to do, I think does a disservice. So let's take first things first. But let's not also lose track of the fact that by elevating work to a process and not just being locked into one platform, one cloud, one set of microservices on one framework that we have the opportunity to integrate in analytics along the whole path from beginning to end and that we can even have the context of what you're doing feedback into how the analytics rather come at you and reinforce one another. So we need to get the process stuff set first. We need to recognize that people need to rethink getting off a desktop, getting out of email, looking at the full process, looking at working across organizational boundaries. So extra enterprise, supply chain interactions, contingent workforce. Then bring in analytics. So first things first, but it's going to be a very interesting mashup when we can elevate process, get out of sort of silos, manage that heterogeneity and inject intelligence in context along the way. That changes the game. So if you've seen the workforce dramatically transform throughout your career, there are five generations of people in the workforce today. Madeleine Albright, there she was on stage this morning. 82 years old, I thought that was what an inspiration. But you know, companies have different generations, different experiences, different experiences with technology, differing expectations. What in your opinion did you hear yesterday from Citrix that is going to help businesses enable five different generations to be as productive as they want to be? Right, it's an extension of what Citrix has been doing for decades and it's allowing more flexibility into where you are is accommodated. What device you're using can be accommodated. The fact that you want to be outside your home office but secure could be accommodated. So what I heard was instead of locking in an application mentality where everybody has to learn to use the same app, we need to have flexibility and it's not just ages and generations, it's geographics, it's language, it's culture. People do business and they do work differently around the world and they should be very well entitled to continue to do that. So we need to create the systems that adjust to the people and read the people's work habits and then reinforce them rather than force them into let's say a monolithic ERP type of affair and we've known that a large percentage of ERP projects over the years have failed. And it's not that the technology doesn't work, it's that sometimes you can't put a round peg in a square hole. Well, speaking of round peg square hole, IT, they're preaching to the choir, I think on this piece. We want things to be simpler, we want to get engaged, we want to solve this problem but is Citrix talking to the wrong audience when it comes to process automation? To your point, you have to have the large view of it a lot of times, especially folks at this conference may not have the large view. How does Citrix get to the CMOs, the COO's, the process people versus the technology folks? I think that's a significant challenge, Keith and I recorded a podcast with David Henshel earlier today and it'll be out in a few weeks on Briefings Direct and I asked him that, he said, you're well known in the IT department. They use a verb, they're Citrixing. The end user, not so much. But if you're going to impact work as you intend to it, as you've laid out here at Synergy, you do need to become more of a household word and you need to brand and you need to impact. And we know one of the hardest things to do, excuse me, is to get people to change their behavior. You don't do that behind the scenes. In some ways Citrix has been very modest. They haven't been Citrix inside, they haven't branded and gone to market with, they've usually let their partners like Microsoft and now even Google Cloud put you on the front page even as they're behind the scenes. But I think they need to think a little bit differently. If they're going to impact people, people need to understand the value that Citrix is bringing. But identifying themselves as they have at the show with work and productivity issues, usability and intelligence, will start that process. But I do think they can go further on their go to market and not just bring this message to their sales accounts, but to a larger work productivity, human capital management, enterprise architect type of a base. And they are making those impacts. Keith and I today have already spoken with their three innovation award nominees. There were over a thousand nominations and we spoke with Schroders, which is a wealth management company based out of the UK and how they have enabled a 200 year old company to really transform their culture with Citrix Workspace, was it was done so strategically, so methodically, but how they enabled that and a seamless integration in terms of their customer experience and engagement with their wealth managers was really compelling. Not only are they able to retain their probably long standing wealth management clients, but they have the ability now and the technology capabilities to allow their people to work remote three days a week if they want to or from wherever and actually work on getting new clients. So the business impact was really clear. We also spoke with Indiana University. They have gone from just enabling students on the seven campuses to 130,000 plus across campuses online. They're enabling site impaired people to also via virtualization have access to computer technology. So you're talking about going from tens of thousands to a 10X at a minimum multiplier and enabling professors to have conversations and help classes with people in Budapest. Big impact. So Lisa, you're bringing up the point that user experience isn't just employee experience. It's end user and consumer experience. If you're going to do this and do it right, don't consider it just for your employees. It's for reaching out to the very edge of the markets and that includes consumers and students and mom and pop shops and everything in between. So when you do this right and not only will you be able to bring intelligence and context to your employees, you'll be able to start to better serve your customers. And that's what digital transformation is really about. It is. And it's in the cultural transformation that Citrix is undergoing and that they're enabling their businesses to achieve like the two we just talked about are critical catalysts for digital transformation. But to me, employee experience and customer experience are hand in hand because every employee, whatever function you're in in some way, you're a touch point to the customer. If you're in retail, you're presenting a shoppable moment and as often as you can, but you also are dealing with customers who have choice to churn and go to another provider of that product or service. So having those employees not only be satisfied but have the tools that they need and the intelligence to deliver the content. The intelligence. So I'll be happy to go to a brick and mortar shop. I'll walk in there physically if they can help me in the shopping experience be smarter. But if I can do it online in my bedroom on my browser then I'll do it there. So it's not so much the interface or even the place anymore. It's who's going to give me the information to make the right decision and make me feel confident that I'm spending my money the most productively whether I'm a consumer or a business. So B2B. That's what's going to be the killer app. It's the smart decision making and the experience of bringing the right information right place, right time. That's key and that's what Citrix has repositioned itself for. I think it's really quite a dramatic shift for the company but they've done it before. Well Dana it's been great having you back on theCUBE unpacking this. It's been an exciting day and a half for us and we look forward to having you back on theCUBE sometime soon. My pleasure. For Keith Townsend, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE live from Citrix Synergy 2019. Thanks for watching.


Good. I'm 840 here. So what I try to do in this channel is create a safe place where you are able to open up and to share and I can share and We're creating a container. Okay, so that all our sharing it takes place within this like safe container Right, so so who you see here?  It works if you work it and you're worth it so I just want to Clear you in to what the godly people are saying the elite people are saying our social bed is a saying so that You will fit in with the hip crowd. I don't want you to stand out like a Soul thumb. So let's say you're feeling down and you are some bloke for a kiss and a cuddle and He says no the appropriate thing for you to then say is thank you for taking care of yourself All right, so let's say you ask your husband to take out the trash. He says no I'm playing a Grand Theft Auto Then the correct response is to say thank you for taking care of yourself let's say you're at an orgy and You ask some young maiden to surrender Maiden head and she says no then the correct response is to say thank you for taking care of yourself all right, so as you're going out there and you're groping and elbowing your way through life and You're taking a fence and you're giving a fence and the world isn't You know delivering as you wish Remember that the correct response when people say no is thank you for taking care of yourself so You may be tired of this idea of having a relationship with God I could maybe be too spiritual, but we can't have a relationship with reality When we have a good relationship with reality and other people say no to us all right You're on a second date and you ask a woman for a blowjob and she says no then you say Thank you for taking care of yourself All right, so you don't have to be the director and the actor and the star You don't have to be the bride at every wedding then have to be the corpse at every funeral All right, you don't have to just try to impose your will on all of reality You can have a great relationship with reality like instead of Trying to have a relationship with God. Maybe maybe you just need to I mean that's great If you can have a relationship with God, you know go for it have a relationship God But how about having a relationship with reality and a good relationship with reality starts with Accepting other people saying no to you and then graciously responding Thank you for taking care of yourself All right, so I just want to say to you I Hope you're your gut bacteria is in good shape I'm hoping you're getting all the digestive enzymes you need Hope you're consuming All the antioxidants that that you need Hope you've got a good CPAP machine And most of all I just want to tell you thank you for taking care of yourself


The city's first neighborhood improvement strategy project is wrapping up and stop six cable residents are now enjoying safer streets and new amenities and significant residential development. The city's two-and-a-half million dollar initiative began back in January of 2017. Just over a year later, the city has installed more than 300 new street lights to make the neighborhoods safer at night. City cameras installed at key locations have helped reduce crime, providing police with evidence and leads that have resulted in convictions. Before the city's initiative, vacant buildings like this one attracted vagrants or worse. After demolishing dilapidated buildings and hauling away debris, the vacant lots are ready for development. The city also cleared up dozens of abandoned buildings, putting them back on the market. Stop six property owners are returning and in many cases are building on property that has been in their families for years. In other instances, developers see the interest and are selling properties many thought you would never see built in stop six. Take a look at some of the other improvements in stop six. Two hundred and seventy-eight tons of brush and trash cleared from right-of-ways, three hundred and seventy-three dead and hazardous trees removed. More than one hundred and eighty tons of litter and illegal dump sites cleaned up. We've also installed seventy-five hundred linear feet of new sidewalks, making it safer for children to walk to school and parks, and dozens of new curb ramps make it easier for residents of all ages and abilities to get around. In addition to paint, lights and parking improvements at Martin Luther King Junior Community Center, Rosedale Plaza Park has a brand new playground. Residents are also enjoying new benches, picnic tables and a walking trail. Later this year, Bunch Park on Ramey Avenue will get a shade pavilion, benches, playground equipment, sidewalks and much more. The city's neighborhood improvement strategy has helped make stop six a cleaner, safer community. With major projects coming to a close, the city looks forward to working with residents to keep the momentum going. If you're a civic, faith-based or neighborhood group wants to get involved, contact the city of Fort Worth. We'll help you plan a cleanup, schedule a free presentation or resolve a concern. Let's work together to build a strong community.


and welcome to DeskLadyAda. Hey everybody, it's me, LadyAda. Desk time, it's a Sunday night and that means we're gonna check in. What's going on at my desk? We got a couple little things going on here that I thought we would do a little bit more of a mail bag, show some things that we received and maybe also show off some of the stuff I'm routing out here. So maybe let's start with the overhead and we'll show off some of these things that we got. Let's go. Okay. So first up, we finally got the macro pad out. So folks who remember, I've been working on this on the show for quite a bit and it's always like the first product of a category kind of takes the longest because I have to learn all the things I didn't know and find parts and do the layout and takes a couple revisions. This I think took like five revisions, four revisions. But it's finally done. So it's a three part PCB design where you've got this part. You've got the mechanical plate, the main PCB plate and then this really nice decorative back plate that Philby designed with a kind of a space theme because we're thinking of like mission control. Like, you know, what are these? This is like your little mission control area and I got a sample today of these are called like milk pudding or like pudding top or like double skin, you know, pudding caps. And this is an add-on kit. So it's not like the main alpha numeric kit. It's kind of like the, you know, the mat, like the alpha, the number pad area.  Like you can kind of see that there is like, these are tilted a little different because it's meant for, you know, a Cherry MX layout where like there's a little bit of a curve to make it more, you know, finger friendly. But if you put the keys in the right order, you know, it's not too bad. Like at least it's a consistent curve. And so this is just me playing around with different key caps. You know, I wanted to try these out. And this is also why when I made these key, when I made the layout design, I picked, no, I don't have one here, but I picked North facing LEDs. So the LEDs, if I pull out one here, the LEDs on the top because, you know, you can decide where the LED is on when you do a mechanical key switch layout. And it's never in the center. It always has to be on the side. So it's like, do you do it at the top or the bottom? Some people like North, some people like South. But if you do North, it just means that a lot of low through key caps look really good because the text is at the top. So this is a design. So this is just showing the demo. So we made like 150 to start. So we're gonna be, we're slowly putting them in the shop as we prep them up. Another thing is like, you know, how do you prep and prepare for sale and sell safely? Something with like a lot of, it's like this is sticking out and this is made out of glass and it's like a little delicate. But I think we've got, we've got it close to done. And if you haven't picked up a macro pad, just sign up and we're getting more into the shop soon. All right. Some people, some people did get them. So that's the macro pad space theme and putting cap. So I think this is okay. It is okay for us to stock. The other kit was really uneven, but this one's pretty even. I think, I think this would be satisfactory. But yeah, you kind of can't change the layout. We also got this innovation handbook from Dijki Dijki sent us. We'll be doing a deeper dive on Wednesday about this, but this is here now, so we wanted to show it to you. Yeah. So they actually have a bunch of Adafruit things in here. You'll see some of these photos are a little familiar. This is like our motor driver. But folks who remember the Make Notebooks, this is kind of similar. It's got a little bit more electrical engineering detail to it, but you know, good reference stuff. I think this would be a great gift for a student. Like I would have used this all the time when in school, I would have like referenced this because a lot of the stuff is like, if you're an engineer, you're like, oh, I know some of the, you know, I know how to read or resist our code, but like a lot of beginners don't. So it'd be good for like a high school student or a college student going into engineering or interested in engineering. Like this is kind of handy too. The nanometer to spectrum panel and- Yeah, I put the short earl in the- Yeah, check it out. And then like some Raspberry Pi pin out. I mean, like that's very handy. Beaglebone, Arduino, breadboards and fun Digikey facts. There's a weather center you can check out. It's cold there. And then a lot of gridded lines of paper, which I really enjoy. I like to lay out my designs on gridded paper. So this is cool and you get lots of them. So you don't feel like you have to save them. And I think it was pretty cheap too. So you can pick it up. DKhandbook-nd for checkout fills URL. So did a good job. And they're gonna definitely do more versions. Like they're just like, this is our first one. And like, you know, I know how it is. You wanna get it at the door. And if you guys have any suggestions or recommendations at Digikey on social media, either on like Twitter or Facebook or Instagram and suggest some things to them because it's really easy to add pages if you have good recommendations for it to add. I think they did a lot, but the community of course knows even more. All right, any questions? Nope, keep going. All right. So next thing I thought we would do a little, a little mail bag. So you got this kit from Cyber City Circuits. Yeah. Our friends over there. Make Augusta. Make Augusta, and you chatted with them recently and you were chatting with them about business. Yeah, we try to help maker companies a lot.  So, you know, people aren't nice to each other. But when folks are first starting out, if we can and they want, we always help people out. And even if they're bigger companies, we always try to give advice. Or if they're smaller companies, you always try to give advice and just share stories and try to help them because we didn't really get any help. So that's what we do. We pay it forward. So Cyber City Circuits, they do a subscription service, they do contract manufacturing, and they have workshops and more and I talked to them about bids and more. All right. Okay, so you get like a little storage bag. So this is like just a little swag, which I kind of like. I think that it's cool that a lot of these subscription boxes give you a little bit of swag with them. And then here's the kit. And there's some paper. Okay, so we get a little thank you note. This is, wanna give you a special thank you for the people who enjoy these. That's nice. Card, a reference card. And this is the 555 timer. This is a reference diagram for 555. You also get soldering panda with a space suit or something going on there. Good job with soldering. Hold in soldering iron well. Hold in the solder well. Nice work. Good panda. Okay. And then this one is the bleep bug kit. And I guess they're the Twitter signal skew. Okay. Check it out. They dump it all here. Okay. So this is by signal skew. So this is a little, there's more detailed information, but let's check out what's going on here. So you got a coin cell battery. You got a custom PCB designed in Denver, Colorado, Kitted in Augusta, Georgia. Okay. So this is cool. Made in the US. And let's see what we got here. We've got a 556 timer chip. So dual 555. And then it's got a socket. That's smart because people often solder in chips backwards. So if you have a socket, and I also like that they have the silk screen underneath to show you which way to orient it. So this would pop in right there. And then you've got a buzzer piezo buzzer. These are great. So these are nice and loud. And then you can remove this. So inside there's a little piezo with two pins. So you can make nice and bloopy bloopies. You've also got, and these are symmetric. You know, it says, I know it says positive, but they're symmetric. I'll get this inserted. Okay. Nice tight fit. This is the coin cell battery holder. So this goes here. One second. Okay. So it goes like that.  So this is going to be part of the timing circuit for the 556. And then switches. Oh, these are nice switches. I like the triangular pads on them. I've never seen these switches before. This is a kind of, I've seen ones that are three in a row. But what I like about these is they're going to be very mechanically stable because they are not planar. They make like a solid triangle. I remember when I did through-hole kits, the hardest thing was finding, you know, everything has to be through-hole and reliable. And that was not easy. So I like these switches. I've never seen them before. I would have used more switches in my kits if I'd seen these before. All right. Consolidate together. And this is an annoyance circuit. So what this does is you have one half of the 555 is going to make like a high-pitched tone, like maybe, you know, four kilohertz or something. 10 kilohertz, something nice and BB. These like to oscillate at like about two to four kilohertz. And then the other 555 turns on every, you know, hour or so and beeps once, which is really annoying. I remember like, what was it? Like our DSL line when the battery's low, it beeps like twice an hour. Like beep, beep, and then it doesn't beep again for like another hour when the battery's low.  Yeah. Folks, don't do that in your part. Make a kit to do it, get it out of your system. Don't make products that have an audible beep that only beeps once an hour because it's not human-friendly. Just why this is a cool prank. So this is fun to build if you're like a kid and then you stash it somewhere, drive your parents crazy. Good stuff. All right, so that's the mail bag. A cute kit so you can subscribe and get a new kit like every month or so. How many do they do at once a quarter? All right, cool. All right, thank you, Cyber City. All right, what do we got next? Okay, and then I was gonna show the board I'm working on. I have to do a lot of redesigns, but I thought we'd get right into the great search after that. Okay, show the board, and then tell me when you're ready for great search. Okay, so let's go to here. Okay, so last week I showed off the IS-37. This is 3-1, but this is actually the 4-1. So having found a two millimeter LED, I started the layout. So using some Eagle Grids tools, I've laid out a nice grid of nine by 13 RGB LEDs, and all the LEDs need a little bit of resistance. They don't do, I guess it's constant current, but maybe you wanna have a resistor also to help you detect shorts, maybe, I don't know. So there's a resistor array set over here, and then this is the pinouts. It's gonna have breakouts here, and then it's gonna have two semiconductor connectors, and then I have to finish routing it. But so far, I was able to, thanks to this LED, I kinda squished up the pads a little bit so you can see the green row column. This green column goes through the LED. The blue goes on the left side, and the red goes on the right side. And so that way, this is actually all planar. I haven't used the bottom of the board yet. So I can use the bottom of the board for the rows and the top for the columns, and it's very nice. I was a little worried that I'd have to use a four-layer board, but thankfully, because this all worked out, and I think these traces are only eight mil. Hold on, I'm in inches right now, sorry, millimeters. This trace is seven mil, but that's fine. It's a seven mil, so it's seven seven, but it all, like I said, single plane, very nice. The other board I'm working on is we designed this a while ago. This is, hold on, let me do the turn off the bottom of the board. This is a feather wing that does can. It's, you know, SPI over can using the popular MCP 2515. Now I actually had redesigned this to use the MCP like 2625, which is an all-in-one chip that does both the SPI to can and the can transceiver part. However, it can get that part. So I'm actually reverting back to an earlier version where we had it split into an MCP 2515, which is like a super popular SPI to can converter chip, and a separate can transceiver. And so this is where we're gonna get into the great search. Where are you? The Great Search brought to you by Digikey and eight of fruit every single week. Lady 80 uses her powers of engineering to help you find things on Digikey site this week. We're flip-floppin'. We're flippin' and floppin'. So what is the flip, what's a flip and floppin'? So I don't know the technical word for this technique, but I've seen it, and it tends to happen around park shortage times. Like I've seen, this is one of those like beasts that evolves when there's park shortages. Like the McRib. Like the McRib. So this is designed for a can bus adapter for the feather wing. So this here is the MCP 2515 in SOIC. And here is the transceiver, which is, I think, I don't know the exact part number. I think it's the MCP 242542. So originally I wanted to use this, the MCP 25625. However, this part is completely dawn off the face of the earth. I'm never gonna find it for like another year or two. And so I thought, let's go back to a design that includes the standalone can controller to SPI interface. Very common and still available. Plus a can FD transceiver. And between the two of these, like you've got your can design. The only issue is is that now I'm a little burnt, right? Because it's like, I waited too long to order parts for my other design, which I kind of preferred. I thought it was a little superior, but I didn't wanna wait till 2023 to get the board out. And I don't know when I'm gonna get chip. So I don't wanna wait, I wanna release it. But I'm a little concerned that I'm not going to be able to get the most common package for this chip is SOIC. But I may not be able to get SOIC. Now, since this board is large enough, I decided to do a flip flop design. What that means is I have the SOIC package out here and then inside the SOIC package, I put the QFN package. And then over here, likewise, if you look, you can see the SOIC package large here. And then inside I have a TDFN package. So there's two packages. And I can flip flop between the two. I can click in place whichever one I want. There is a risk to this. You're gonna have solder, unless you decide to have separate stencils. If you have one stencil, that stencil's gonna be cut, you're gonna have solder underneath the chips. However, SOICs, they're not super flush against the PCB. And so I don't mind doing it with SOICs. I wouldn't necessarily do it with a TSOP maybe. But SOICs are kind of big and they can float a little bit higher. There's a little bit more space. So is this the best engineering practice? Yeah, probably not. However, desperate times bring desperate measures. So let's go, did you key, and find which packages are available for the transceiver and the CAN controller. And so we can pick what we're going to, how did I pick what I ended up using? Sounds cool. Oh, by the way, if anyone's wondering where I took the name flip-flop from, it's from Flip-flop Hub, not flip-flops, like latches and stuff. The first time I used this, I was like in the middle of building a single speed. And I was like, oh, you can use one or the other. It's like a flip-flop hub. Okay, I don't know. Made sense of the time. Did you key hand because here, by the way, you can pick that up. So let's start with the MCP2515. This is the CAN controller. And so traditionally, again, the SOIC is what you would normally pick up. And you can see here, this is available in four packages, which is good, right? It's like, it's a little counterintuitive, but sometimes there's multiple packages. Again, if you're using the flip-flop design, you're maybe more likely to be able to get something that'll fit. So let's skip the dip and go to SOIC, TSOP, and QFN. Now we're desperate, so we don't care what the packaging is. Normally I would say get cut tape or tape in real, but I'll take tube because I just, I need chips. So what it looks like is the QFN is in stock now. So it means I could probably launch with the QFN, but you'll note it's more expensive than the SOIC. Like you can get the SOIC for 191 or 209, and the MCP2515 in QFN is 224. So it's, oh, sorry, it's a little bit more expensive than the SOIC version, but again, what's really expensive, not having any parts. So what I did do just got a curiosity is I added some to my cart to see the lead time. Again, it's not promise, but it gives you a sense.  So what I could do is launch this product now using the QFN, and then when the SOIC comes into stock, you know, I can order those now, and then when they ship, you know, I can decide, okay, then I'll switch over to the SOIC and just reprogram the pick and place. And that's not a big deal. It takes only like 10, 20 minutes. So the other question is why did I, yeah, so that's why I picked the SOIC and the QFN. There's also a T-SOP version, but honestly, because it was out of stock, and it was as expensive as the QFN, and I kind of figured it would be like, it was like, if I was gonna pick two things, I was like, well, I think I'm gonna pick the QFN and the SOIC. Like it was a little bit of a gut thing, but it's also like the QFN is currently in stock and the SOIC is the most popular package. So like that's the two I picked. So the next part was the MCP, pardon me, it's the MCP24254D. And also, by the way, check the data sheets because it'll also have the packages. So you can see here, there's actually two versions of this. There's the 2542 and 2544. I want the 2542, which allows three volt logic and five volt transceiver voltage. Yeah, it converts 3.3 volt logic from the can transceiver, sorry, for the can converter, the transceiver will let you take three volts in and send three volts out, but convert it to plus or minus five volts on the outside, which is more people like that because it can go a little farther. Anyway, so let's check out the 2542 and see what packages are available. So again, we'll go to transceivers and there are three packages available. Now, unlike the, a little bit like the MCP2515, MCP2515, you can put an SOIC, you can kind of put anything underneath, but two of these packages are incompatible with each other. Like you can't mix them, which is a little sad. So let's look at the bottom and I'll show you. So the SOIC is a standard large SOIC, which is, you know, classic. So there's the eight TDFN, which is two by three millimeters and this has a ground pad underneath it. And that means of course, you can't put anything underneath it because that ground pad short to whatever and you do really need that placement pad when you do your TDFNs. So I have to choose the SOIC and either the two by three TDFN or the three by three DFN, which are kind of almost the same thing. I'm kind of like a little confused why they have two nearly identical SMT packages. Like, yeah, like an SOIC, TESOP, and DFN, I can understand, but TDFN and DFN, I don't know, maybe some customer really wanted it. So SOIC, so let's see if any of these are in stock. I don't know if they're in stock. They're not in stock here, but you can, okay, I thought that word stuck, but they're not. So the SOIC is this one, the dash ESN. And let's see when we might have this in stock. So right, so these are gonna be in stock maybe in about a month. So that's a good choice to pick for the package. And then the other package, I ended up with the TDFN, and let's try this again at the cart. And this one also, some of them are gonna come in in 2021, the rest in 2022, I don't know, we'll find out if the dates get pulled in a little bit. Another thing is when you're doing the flip flop design, if you're doing like often the pins line up quite nicely, so like a T-SOP or a QFN, you can see how like all the lines kind of go out, spidery very easily. However, the only packages I could really could fit under the SOIC without having, here the V is on. The only package I could really fit under this SOIC and have it route out to get to the remaining pads without having V as everywhere was the two by three TDFN. If you have some like really small, if you have some really small chips, sometimes over the really wide SOIC, you can sometimes put it between the pads and like have it snake out. However, in this case, it really won't fit. So the only way to do it is sort of to do it like right angle in this way and then try to get like all the signals out through the side, which is, it's all right. Okay, so this is my guess. I think it's gonna work out. I think I'm gonna really get the SOIC version of this. I think for this chip, I'm going to end up mixing and matching between the two, but it's free to add a flip flop package onto your PCB design. So you might as well do it, right? Like it doesn't cost anything. The PCB, once you finish and tape out the PCB, you're done. So I'm gonna be doing this for like the next year probably, like until I can get chips again, because I don't know when that's gonna be. So you're gonna see a lot of designs that I do that have like SOIC and then a QFN or like a TSOP and like a TDFN underneath it. Whenever there's more than one package, I used to just go with like the smallest package or the cheapest package was the most convenient one, but that time's kind of not happening right now.  EEPROMs are available in a TSOP or SOIC. And so when I did the layout for the design, I added both. And that's the great search. All right. Good luck, everybody. Someone has some good comments here. Yeah. Not a question or anything. They just said, so much fun here. Early 90s, GPO RAM shortages at ATI, boards laid out for SRAM, DRAM, and VRAM, and through-hole PL, CC, SOIC, if it arrived, it got soldered. Absolutely. I mean, this is not the first time it's happened. And I was actually wondering, like when there was the shortage in 2009, right after a recession, there's always like this like terrible shortage. And I remember that the Arduino SMD came out because you couldn't get... Yeah. You couldn't get DIP chips. So there was a special version of the Arduino UNO that came out that had an SMD chip, because now they actually, I think, reverted back to having the DIP chip. But at the time, you couldn't, and you can kind of tell that they sort of just deleted the DIP and plugged in the QFN. I remember people thought like, this is the end of Arduino because they just want like a permanently soldered chip in. Yeah. No. There's other stuff that you should worry about Arduino. I've been coming out this week, but that ain't it. Oh, here it is. This is the one I was thinking of. That wasn't it, that ain't it. This was clever and I'm glad they did it. So this, hold on, let me show the image, because I thought this is interesting. Can I view an image? Can I view an image? Okay, so this image, you can see here, it's a flip flop design. Yeah. They have a QFP and a QFN, but you see it routes very nicely. So they probably started with, you know, the DIP was gone, so it was like, okay, you know, like I didn't design this, I'm just guessing. So they pulled the DIP out, put the QFN in, because DIPs, they're so thin, you actually can't really put any chips in between. And then they quickly were like, uh-oh, we can't even get QFNs, we can get QFPs. Okay, make the package, QFP. Now, if anyone ever learns what the official name for this technique is, I'd like to know, because I call it flip flopping, but I don't know. It sounds like dual sockets. It's not dual sockets. Is it dual sourceable? Well, it could be even one and two. I don't know. All right, and that's a great search. Thank you, everybody. Where in the world is that part I need? The great search. All right, so multi-sourcible design, perhaps. Okay, I like flip flopping. Nobody's come up with a better name than a flip flop. Yeah, I don't think anyone, I think that was normally associated with politics, but people don't even flip flop anymore. They just double down on the same dumb thing. They just straight up lie and then they double down. Everybody lies and double down, yeah. It's not double downing. I think it's flip flopping. It's like a flip flop hub. Poly padding. Poly padding, that's a good one. Although, I think it's probably like some trademark owned by some company that makes air packets for shipping. All right, so that's it for tonight. Last bit of news, I'm gonna put links in the chat. So, speaking of park shortages, we're only gonna have a few Aida boxes left. So, we open it up because we have some slots open since we're not shipping to Europe or the UK or Switzerland right now. So, we have a limited number. I'm gonna play a little song at the end. It's about three minutes and 33 seconds, exactly. Either that's significant and it means something or it doesn't. It's shipping soon. Yeah, so theoretically Aida box might be shipping in like. It's gonna ship in July. A couple weeks. So, I'm gonna play that song and everything but I'll also put in the links. It's just aidabox.com if you haven't been, you know. If you don't know what we're up to, that's what we're up to. That's what we've been working on. So, that's the big news. Play the jam. This week, we have all the regular shows except for Friday. That's right, Friday. Friday is not the deep dive but the rest of the week, the regular shows. Day off and then next Monday also, it's a little slow. We're gonna have to live. Monday, there's no shows on Monday, so. I know, but we're taking long. But your order may be delayed. Yeah, I mean everybody in the US is basically taking off Friday. Come on, man, just. If you made it this far, you could do it. If you made it this far. All right, so that's it. That's a lady of this week. I'm gonna play the song. Go get an Aida box. Bye, buddy. Bye.


Welcome back. In order to identify the various sources of international law, most textbooks usually refer to one treaty provision, namely Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice. Now, as we have seen before, the ICJ is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations and was preceded by the Permanent Court of International Justice at the time of the League of Nations. The Statute of the ICJ is very much a cat and paste of the Statute of the PCIJ, which was drafted in 1920 by an advisory committee of jurists chaired by a Belgian senator and professor, Baron Édouard Descens, who by the way was teaching at Louvain. Before reading Article 38, it is important to remember the historical contexts of its drafting. In 1920, for the first time in the history of mankind, it was agreed to establish a permanent court and trusted with the task of settling international disputes between states. Of course, various arbitrations had taken place before, on a case-by-case basis, and each time, or at least very often, when agreeing to go to arbitration, the disputing states indicated to the arbitrators what law, which treaty they had to apply in order to reach a binding decision. And by the same token, it was felt necessary to point the various sources of international law to the future court. But a standing institutionalized court represented a real novelty at the time and somehow it was a bit frightening to states. The risk was to see the court deciding cases on the basis of a certain sense of justice. The fear was the issue of judge-made law at a time when international law was not so much developed and was rather rudimentary. In order to reassure potential disputing states and to make the findings of the court more or less predictable, it was felt necessary to rather strictly define the straight jacket within which parameters of which the court was entitled to function and to base its judgments upon. And with that in mind, let us turn to Article 38. Article 38 is the last provision of the second chapter of the ICJ statute, which is entitled Competence of the Court. So defining the law that the court must apply in order to settle dispute is a matter of competence of jurisdiction. In other words, and strictly speaking, the court has no competence to settle dispute by the application of other rules than the ones enumerated by Article 38. As we shall see in Week 7 when addressing the settlement of international disputes, this is probably a little bit far-fetched, but the general idea that the court is not entitled to settle disputes by the application of rules that are not rules of international law is generally speaking essential. Well, please now turn to the text of Article 38.
