Hey guys, it's Jen from iCreate Crafts. In today's video, I will be showing you step by step how to personalize these big beer mugs from the dollar store. These were quite fun and very easy to create. I also will show you how to easily glitter these girl mugs as well. I'll leave all of my supplies listed in the description box below. If you haven't already, please hit that subscribe button and leave me a thumbs up if you love this video. Now let's get started. Okay guys, so I'm starting in design space and I'm going to be using this file. This guy needs a beer. So I bought big huge mugs from the dollar store and I'm going to be putting this on them. So two things I want to do here. First I want to resize this and then second I want to make one that says this girl needs a beer. So I want it to look somewhat similar to this one. So the first thing I'm going to do is select this. I'm going to go up to the duplicate button and make another one. So I'm not changing the first one and then this one is a little bit tedious because this file is put together pretty well. So if you you can't do anything with it until you detach it here. So I'm going to push the detach button. Then you have to go in again and click the ungroup button and now it should take off. So all these letters are individual. So now I can go ahead and delete these and fill it in with girls. I'm going to go ahead and grab all three of them and then delete. Then I'm going to go over here to the text box and I'm going to type in girl. Now the tricky part is I want something that's sort of similar to this but it doesn't have to be exactly the same. So I'm going to drag this and make a little bit bigger and I'm going to go up to the text box and I'm going to go up to the search fonts because I found something that was similar to it. So it's copper plate. So I'm just going to type that in and here it is here. So this kind of looks similar. I mean it gives it a little bit of a different feeling because it is a girl and not a guy one. So I'm just going to enlarge this and place it where it's supposed to go. So it kind of looks like you want to get it under these little lines here. So I'm just going to take it and shrink it a little bit. You don't do it however you want to do it however it looks good to you. But I'm just going to do it about that size I think and I think it looks pretty good in the center. So I'm not going to mess with it. So the next thing I want to do is actually select the word that I just did and I'm going to attach it and then if you like it the way it is which I do I'm not going to change anything on it. I'm going to select the whole thing and then I'm going to push the attach button and that'll just make sure everything is going to cut out just the way it is. So it looks just like this but it says girl instead. So the last thing I want to do is change the size. So like I said I have dollar store mugs so I know my size is going to be roughly 4.5 by 4 so with it selected I go up to the unlock box up here and I'm just going to type in 4.5 by whoops 4. So it's going to be this size for my particular mug. It might have to be different for yours but I'm just using the larger mugs from the dollar store so I'm going to do the same thing with this one. Select or select the unlock box and then change it to be 4.5 by 4 and now you can change it to be you know any color you want any you know different size if you need to. I'm actually going to leave this one black and I'm going to change this one to like a pinkish color. I'm going to be doing several of these ones so I'm going to do like a holographic one. I'm going to be doing you know a red one maybe and then maybe blue and black for this one so I'm just going to switch the color here for the girl one. So there we go. So that's it for me. This is all I have to do. I don't think I said where I got this from so I believe you can get this file on design space. So if I go over here to the side and I right click I'll go on image info. I can show you again. So I right click image info and it says this guy needs a beer. If you type in this number this should come up for you. So if you go to the image section right here and you type in this number this should come up for you. I believe I got it on here. I don't think I got it anywhere else. So if you want that you just have to type that number and I'll leave it in the description below in case you didn't catch it. But this is all I'm going to do for these two. It's resized the way I want. It's two different colors so I'm going to go ahead and push the make it button. So here's the first one and then here's the pink one. So I'm just going to show you really quick what it which setting I use all the time. I don't use a lot of cricket brand. I just buy whatever is on sale on Amazon. I'll leave it in the description box below. I know for the girl ones I'm going to be using holographic vinyl and I absolutely love the holographic vinyl. So in case you're interested in that I'll leave that in the description below as well. But I'm just using regular 651 for both of these for now and then I'm going to go back and change it. But for the most part I'm using just this stencil vinyl here. But then when I go to cut out another one like this for the girl I'm going to be using the premium holographic setting right here. So for the first part I'm going to cut out two of these and then I'm going to go back and do another one with the premium vinyl. So I will finish this up. I will cut it out. I'll weed it out and then I'll show you the next step of putting it onto your glass mug. All right so I have my files cut out here is the girl one and then here is the guy one. I already put this one on transfer tape. I kind of jumped the gun on this one. But I will show you how to do this. I'm going to show you this one really quick too. So I have the thought of putting glitter on the bottom and I really love that idea for the girl ones. I did the glitter on the bottom. I do need another coat on there but this is what it looks like. So in case you're interested in this just stay tuned to the end and I'll show you how to do this but this one is just drying. So the next part you want to do is clean your mug really well with a cotton ball and some alcohol. I already did that. I just wanted to let it dry but I wanted to show you that's very important to do is clean your project before you start working on it and make sure it dries. So the next part you want to do is figure out which hand you want to do it. So I know a lot of people that are right-handed. My daughter actually is left-handed. So I'm actually going to work on this side here. So I'm just going to turn it this way and I'll put my file here. But before I do this I always like to have like a line to see how high to put it up. So I found that an electrical tape here, this little piece of electrical tape is the perfect size down on here. So I'm going to show you really click how I did this.  So then I just take it and I just turn my mug as I'm holding it here. I'm not moving this at all. It's going to give me a straight edge on here. So here it is. I don't know if it shows up very well but you got the line on there. So now I have something to judge on here where I should put the file. So now I can take my file that I already put the transfer tape over and line it up here really well. I'm trying to do this so you guys can see it well. So I'm just taking... Another thing I have to think about is you have the line here where they put it together. So you kind of gauge where you want it, where the middle is on here. So I'm kind of going closer to the handle here but now I'm just taking the file up at the top and line it up straight with the line that I made and that will ensure that my whole file is going to be straight. So once you've got it on you just push it with your fingers just like that. So the line is up there but I didn't go too high to the line where my file is on it. I just went just enough up to it. I don't know if it shows up but when I pull the transfer tape up it should pull most of that color up. Otherwise if it doesn't you can just take some cotton ball with some alcohol and pull it off. See it's pulling it off already.  Oh my gosh I love this. So now I still have a little bit of purple at the top.  That's why a dry erase marker works really well so it doesn't take any of your file off but there's that one. Okay so to do the glitter one it's pretty much the same process. You want to make sure your mug is really clean. So instead of looking it upside down and doing it we're going to leave it upside right but for the size of my glitter where I want it to go like this one I actually used the piece of electric the electrical tape and then also a cover to the glitter and that's the height that I got for this one here. So to do that you're just working with upside right so you're going to go upside right you're going to take your dry erase marker and lay it on here really flat just like that. So now you have the line on here where you can take your electrical tape and put it all the way around for the next step if you want the glitters. I'm just taking a really long piece.  Now I'm going to flip it upside down and work backwards. So now maybe that's a better angle for you guys.  So now I'm going to take my tape and I'm just going to line it up with the bottom part of the line that I just made and then you just follow it around making sure your butt up to the line. If you're not you can just easily peel it off and then go back because you want this to be nice and straight and then when you get to the edge here the way I did it is I just put it here and then I just took another piece of electrical tape and you could buy this electrical tape at the dollar store and then I just went over the top because I don't want to go on to the handle itself but over the top. You can do the handle if you want but I'm just choosing not to because I think it'll be easier to not do the handle. So now you want to go back and you want to erase all of the mark that you just put here and if you still have some on there afterwards or if it's under the tape that's okay because you can always go later on with some with another cotton ball and get it off but you want to also when you're doing this push on your tape really well so it doesn't you know so your mod podge that you use next isn't going to seep through. So there's that part so the next part you're going to want to do is take some mod podge and I just bought a little bottle of mod podge from the dollar store just a little guy goes a long way and then I bought this glitter from Walmart but they do actually sell a little bottles of glitter at the dollar store as well so I have multiple colors here but the first part you want to do is just take a foam brush again dollar store I buy a lot of stuff from the dollar store pretty much everything that I'm using except for the glitter came from the dollar store so then you just want to take it and brush down just down strokes and you can go over your tape there it's not going to hurt anything and depending on if you want to do the bottom of your mug you most certainly can I choose not to so I just go pretty much to the tip here of sorry I keep pity on my camera I go to the tip here so it has a nice clean edge so I'm just going to do this all the way around and make sure you have nice even strokes and that you don't have like a bunch in one spot like right here because that will show up later on and this is this is just your first coat you're going to be doing many more of these depending on how dark you want it to be so just have that in mind when you put your glitter on that you're going to do it more than once the next part I'm going to do is grab my glitter and put my glitter on so I'm actually going to use this gold color and then I have a piece of paper to catch all of my glitter that I'm going to be putting down so I'm not wasting anything so then you just take your glitter and you just pour it on and you're not wasting anything because it's all going to go right back in the jar so just like this and if you miss some spots that's okay because you're going to do this more than once anyway but just like that and then I just tap it to make sure the excess comes off and then you can go around it one more time if you want kind of fill in the spots that you missed but you're going to go ahead and do the same process over again once it dries so if you do miss any spots you can definitely fill it in so just like that that is it that's all you have to do so before this dries before your Mod Podge dries you're going to want to take off your tape and I know that sounds weird but I've done this before many different videos and if you leave your tape on and that dries you'll pull up all of your glitter and it will not have a nice clean edge to it so I'm just going to take it and slowly peel back the tape just like that so here it is I really like how it looks you can use whatever color you want so here's the bottom I still got to take the take off which I forgot but it's nice and even everywhere and if you have a little bit of glitter I don't know if this shows up but you just take another foam brush that you have that you didn't use and you can go around it and just push it off so just like that okay so we're going to let this dry I'm going to put the glitter back into the container that's why that we have that's why we have this paper here so I'm not wasting any of this glitter and then just pour it right back in here and we're going to let this completely dry for about 10 minutes or so and then I'll show you the next part it's pretty much the same process but it's just a little bit more care that you have to put into it so I'll let this dry and I'll come right back all right so it's been about 15 minutes I actually went and did this one for the second coat I really love how it turned out it's a lot darker so I'm going to let this one dry and then still one more process to this but I'm going to show you really quick how we do the second coat to this one it's pretty much the same process you're going to take your mod podge and just go over what you just did and it sounds kind of crazy but it's not going to pull any of your stuff up so you're just going to carefully go all the way to the rim where you started and then work your way down but you want to make sure you have enough mod podge on your foam brush it's pretty much the same process now you got to be careful here because you don't want to go over your line that you work so hard on making it nice and neat so just want to get as close as you can to the edge without going over and then I like to just fan it all out after I'm done but this is pretty much it so again you can do this you don't have to do this I just said it was a great idea that Emma had so you just take it and fan it out and I'm not pushing hard on this at all I'm just lightly pulling up as I go because I don't want to pull any of this glitter up that we just put on here but the mod podge acts as a sealer and also as glue so it shouldn't pull anything up so I'm just going to go around the whole mug taking care of on the side where the handle is here and if you this is this time that if you miss anywhere or if you had any mistakes that you can clean it up easily now just doing this so now again the same process you're just going to take your glitter and put it over everywhere you just did it so I let this finish drying for about 20 minutes now and it's completely on here it looks really amazing the last part you want to do is just go over it with mod podge and this is just the sealing process so it's the same thing that you just did you just gotta go around the edges really careful you can do two or three more coats whatever you want I just did two coats on this but this is this the last part that you have to do is just make sure you go around and this is the important part where you don't have lines or big splotches of your mod podge on here and you want to make sure you get down to the end here as well because you don't want somebody touching it and then it falls off so I'm just carefully doing the top part first and then I'll do the bottom part next and then kind of go around the whole thing but if you're missing any spots or anything now is the time to do it but otherwise this is going to seal it all in so I'm just gonna finish this up and then I'll show you guys what it looks like when I'm all done with all of them I was actually doing another white one in between so once this all dries and I'm finished with this I'll show you what they all look like I love how these turned out I created many more since I finished this video I hope you learned something new and will create your own big beer mug glasses if you haven't already please hit that subscribe button and leave me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this video happy crafting

Oh money that's not this film.  It's a Corbin I'm Devon on and you can false it Instagram Twitter for more juice the gaunt and squeeze them good. Yeah The juice is what I'm talking about. I think you're supposed on patreon for the truth Crownscribe that like button and welcome to classic month. It's classic month of gain We are classics and we decided to start with the film that I probably would have gotten to last year but It's it's a big one that we've missed out. Yeah, it's a really big one It's like a it's a mammoth of a of a classic. That's like I think like the the Indian restaurant. I frequent a lot It's probably the best Indian food here in Los Angeles McDonald's. Yes. Yeah Like they have a bunch of pictures of actors upon the walls and stuff but they also have like films as well like it has like eight classics and Guide guide is on there with like obviously show lays and sure and all is pedosan up there. Yeah But so it's it's up there obviously with the mammoths of the classic I do believe this is also our first Devon on it is Which four years without seeing Devon on is this our first Waheeda film too. I think it is I think it is I could be wrong, but I think it's our first Waheeda. I think it is But obviously came out in 1965 is gonna be a hundred percent spoiler of you I think most Indians have seen the film many many times. Yes But it's the Devon on film directed by Vijay Anand the brother Devon on and written by him as well from a book produced by Devon on right and All that kind of stuff starring Devon on and Waheeda Raman Waheeda Raman and a billion thousand other people other people Yeah But like I said to be a hundred cents for the view if you haven't watched it go watch it come back I think all you probably have seen the film already. So I don't think we're spoiling anything It's like if you were we were viewed like The Wizard of Oz You haven't seen it by now. Well Rick your initial thoughts of guide, please my initial thoughts of guide were and we'll get into the details as usual it It Started off in a way that I was accepting of it and thought okay. I'll just let this be what it is then 40 minutes in it just took flight and Became I can see why everybody loves the film so much for so many reasons I think the author didn't like the interpretation of the novel the film. I read about that interesting Okay, having not read the novel obviously What a what a shock to go into classic month and and watch a classic that I really liked Yeah, did you watch it with him Johnny? No, but she's seen it. Obviously.  Yeah. Nice. Yeah, this is this is one that I I Really enjoyed this film, but also I could see why Indians really I like absolutely Very Indian and especially for the time and I agree this film actually took about 50 minutes Yeah, I think I looked at the time frame Yep, because it really started to get into the the love story the little bit literally time it literally Took off. Yeah felt like we had a really long runway Yeah, and then it took off and flew to places that the first half gave no indication we were going Yeah, it went one. I was a little confused at the beginning because it went like real fast. I'm like Okay, why was he in why was he in jail? Right? What what is that it? He just became a priest. That's what that's a novel and turning it into a hundred and eighty page script He began.  It took me a second to realize like we jumped back In time because I I don't think they made that particularly clear Fully in the in that first part Obviously, I figured it out as the film went along what was going on But this went in so many different directions, but especially the end I could see like why oh my goodness Indians really love this film, and I'm sure they had no problem with him wearing orange at the end No, I didn't I didn't see the same outrage not not at all I guess he wasn't dancing riscale. Absolutely. She was obviously she was we'll get into that too But I thought this film The grand scope the grand scope of the songs. Yes another reason why I think this film is so beloved But yeah score in this Massiveness massive old Bollywood Scale songs in it and a lot of them there was like a probably a 20-minute stretch where there was probably like four songs And it was weird because it went from feeling like Lawrence of Arabia this really mellow slow Historic drama, and it became the last American in Paris. It was this just MGM Spectacle of musical numbers. Yeah, I wrote down the very first dance was Amaze she she got all sweaty and she was so expressive, and I immediately Said to entrania was I was watching and I said I can see what your dad had a crush on her that woman's Absolutely sexy and beautiful. Yeah, let's talk about her like yeah her her dancing was impeccable gorgeous some of the best Like that she had so many numbers where she was dancing and did so so well But I also there was one scene towards the beginning with her husband And it's in the cave in the cave the argument scene the argument scene was a Brilliant scene I've written acted Shot cinematography-wise yeah lighting yep every I left probably one of my favorite scenes in the whole film That one and then she has a scene that's carried by Devon on yeah not too far after that That I feel exactly the same way about it was I feel like the writing in this Was way ahead of its time. Oh, yeah, but it was funny because I described this I was like this is a One I think progressive for its time, but also extremely of its time and other. Yes Like a hundred percent agree problematic in some areas as well, but also progressive in other It was very one moment He's telling her she can be anything she wants irrespective of caste race sex religion and then the next moment She said are you going to correct me when I'm bad? Slap me because that's what she expects in a right way. Yeah, I agree it had both But acting I agree that the dance numbers are magnificent But I I was really impressed with her capacity as an actress as well. Yes, I liked her a lot I would love to see more of her work She was a very captivating Yeah, I can't rave enough about the song numbers in this and she's parent. I have you seen any photos of her recently She's alive and looking beautiful as ever really. Yeah. Oh wow. She is still around congrats on that dying Yeah, how old was she in the film then? She was probably early 20s. Really? Yeah, and she's now obviously in her Mid to late 70s. Yeah, I thought she did a great job. It was in the beginning. I like the first 50 minutes There was so many things like Obviously, you can't judge a film based off of today's standards in terms of not just artistically but in terms of like Culture right right and we had to judge it off 1960s Indian culture And yeah, that's why some of the stuff like he was like, oh, I could be pretty strict I would definitely slap you for what you just what you just said right and she was like Oh, I would happily cook and clean for you and take your corrections if you like I was like there's so many Right, but obviously you can't judge Hollywood has so many of those at the time that like it's like what the what kind of civilization were we there's a clip of a James Bond film where Sean Connery is talking to a guy and the Bond girls next to him And he tells her to take off because the men are talking and slaps her on the ass So like you can't judge a film off of today's standards And so you try not to do that, but it's also so funny But because this film had so many of those moments, but it was also extremely progressive In the other ones, which is incredible. Which is super interesting but in the beginning I also like during her first not maybe it wasn't her first. I don't remember but when she finally left him The husband and his name right marko. They were leaving and she was all very childish Yeah, and now that she was like being extremely mean Taking people's watering stuff that they were using to get water for the family and just breaking it Like what do you do?  Yeah, I mean so This one was like a rollercoaster especially in the beginning because I was Trying to figure out what exactly I was like what happened to him being a priest Yeah, like it wasn't were you the same way? Oh, yeah was not clear that we jumped back in time. No, it wasn't I actually Because I got lost I jumped on to the internet And followed the plot line to where I was to make sure I was aware of what just happened because I thought But this isn't what he's doing now. He just got out of jail and it said it's a flashback from that point Okay, okay, great. It took me and then once it got to about 50 minutes I think the love story between them started going really clear Obviously the song started getting even more grand and amazing Even though I was interested before because I think that seemed between the husband and the wife was in the cave all that Yeah, it was and the production design of the cave by the way was beautiful. I loved it I thought it was like raiders of the lost art. Absolutely. It was really good Let's talk about devinand as well before we get too much into the rest of the film This is our first But I could see why he was such a big star. I agree. He's very small And ronnie said this before I was watching this. She was so happy. We were watching this and at first She asked me what I was thinking of it because I got about 30 minutes into it. She said, what do you think of it? I said, it's okay, and I could tell she Was a little disappointed. I wasn't liking it more. Yeah. I haven't talked to her since I finished it but She told me aside from the crush her dad had on mojita She said you're going to discover why devinand was called the gregari peck of india Is that what it was called? Yeah, interesting.  Yeah, I agree And he I thought he was for the time obviously, maybe not as small as like a dillip in terms of like that But he I think he's still really small for a time not only in hollywood But obviously in india as well where that was not the the kind of norm of of actors. No, it was more It was melodramatic melodramatic. Yeah all over the top um and it's almost like the the vaudevillian Transformation still going on.  Yeah of it's not just like I thought I was like we're gonna have a standard love affair But then like he right kind of almost turned into the old husband and being really like selfish And and greedy and they had like these marital Maybe not marital obviously, but these relationship problems Um, it was not simple. No, not a simple story at all. And then obviously him going into The the the last part of the film of him being the uh, I think they called him the shwami, right the shwami Which I did not know was a hindu that they were praying like an indian word for the rain. Um, but the fact that he Was faking it At the time right then kind of was like I gotta embrace it. I gotta I this is what I've sown and people are counting on me now It's like even though I'm not this person, but I've I have to do this now right because people believe in me right and so it's a super interesting Uh, uh The writing of the I'd be interested to read the book obviously how more in depth they go Yeah, I wonder if a big theme in the book is about belief Because that's a that is throughout this She doesn't believe in herself He believes in her because he believes in her she begins to believe in herself Then he stops believing in himself Then people start believing in him And then she starts believing in him and he dies believing in himself. It's just Belief is all over this thing. Yeah. And I like I said the last part is why I think a lot of indians really Really love this film is because of that whole beautiful philosophical Questions about the films and especially obviously the part where you know the it was almost gondi moments, right? At the end of the film and really beautifully shot and hard and not common The those close-up shots of everyone crying her crying him crying the people crying and I didn't see glisser in man. I saw real tears coming out of those human beings I could feel what they were feeling. I thought it was a great climax. Yeah to the film. I also knew I was invested The moment I knew the change had happened because it happened subtly which all great movies do that to you When he asked her to marry her and she got as excited as she did I got happy for them and I realized oh You got me I care about them the in the last sequence um I think it was probably in the last 30 minutes or so and they started doing like the almost angel and devil Yeah, I thought that was super interesting super interesting and I liked it and so far a field from where we came Yeah, like I was like this is not Oh the style of film, but I thought it worked and I thought it did work It was a really interesting to kind of see the goings on in his mind Yeah, and what was happening. I thought it was super ballsy of them to do that Very daring because it wasn't Would the style that the film already was and there's nothing that could have not worked There's really nothing We compare the musical number sometimes to the mgm things because it's the only frame of reference we have culturally for us as americans To say this is what it reminds me of and it's always complimentary But this film doesn't remind me of any other film. Oh, yeah, indian or american It's it's very much it has its moments. Like I said, it felt laurence of arabia pace And then the big musical number turned into last tango, but i'm only making that as a kind of standaway comparison to the scope Very original and I felt it was also very daring. Yeah, I I did I could not have told you in the beginning that Where the film ended never I was like, yeah, they'll probably get together is what I probably would have guessed right for the time I was like it's a big it's a bollywood film. So it's probably be love and then probably I would have never guessed He went to jail for fraud I would have never guessed he only served two years I would have there's so many things I could have and I would have never predicted Some of the shot there was the one shot of her behind the Statues, yeah, and she must have been on some kind of a pulley. Yeah, I love that shot It was a beautiful shot because they maintained The statues were kind of changing their height But their relationship to her hips never changed So they made whatever she was being pulled on to match it so that she it was an incredible shot. I agree. Yeah. Yeah, it was like, um You know like they clearly couldn't They there's my one of my favorite moments is when they're sleeping out in the she's in the car They've just taken her away because she saw her husband cheating And he and the guy are sleeping on the ground And they say it's midnight, but it's clearly a day shoot. Yeah, that was that was That was anon the director saying, yeah, I know it's night, but we're not doing a night shoot We're just gonna shoot this thing at dawn and it'll be a little dimmer. Forget it I don't know who the production design team was on this But vj and anon and his team Did a brilliant job maybe not one I guess the cave was just brilliant, but all the song Yeah, they're massive like when they were in the house like his mom's house in the city they built. Yep And because I love old hollywood Bollywood I'll be in this scenario the old film Practical set that and the rain they did on that when the rain came down They did a they put in a lot of work to make sure that that rain was dispensed evenly among everybody to look like a true Downpour not just in one little spot. It looked like rain was falling from the sky. Yeah. Um, and so I I got this out because I wanted to read about guide because I'm sure guides in here. I bet it is. Yeah But I didn't I wasn't able to the Bollywood book. Yeah But I I'm sure there's a lot of interesting information about this film In it one drawback you'll agree Again, it felt like these songs. It was really important to know what they were saying Yeah, we didn't unfortunately. I looked everywhere. I actually looked in if I had the film because I have a lot of classics Yeah, but I don't uh, I looked everywhere The only place that had it was subs And this is common with classics especially The songs were not subbed and they needed to be they needed to be I know they did when they when they agree to get married and they go into that love song I heard dill and pr all over the place and I said, okay, I get it They're singing about their love and their heart, but I wish I knew every word because it felt The dance numbers felt like the item dance songs, but there were some songs that were Undoubtedly him pushing story for making promises. Yes. They were pushing story forward. Yeah, I that was Unfortunately, sometimes it just happens that way like I don't know why you would sub a film and be like the songs Don't need it, especially in Indian cinema. Yeah, and songs are crucial. I don't I don't get it I I just I don't understand it. It's especially There was a Bengali film and Johnny wanted to find on z channel. It's an older film. It's not subbed She said I get it. It's not a popular film You're not gonna sub everything in guide. Yeah, it's super sure. I don't get it. Yeah, but anyways Those are our thoughts about guide. Glad we finally got to it. Yeah, great kickoff to classic Month if uh, we're gonna watch only outside of new films that come out that we'll see in theaters You have anything coming out? Yeah, I don't think he has anything coming out But most of these We're gonna do and all we'll try to get to as many regions as we can But if it's hindi, I think 1985 I think I did last year in 1980, but I think it's gonna make it 1985 because I still think I mean you could even make before 90 Are considered classic, you know me. I've always felt if it's if it's if it's Beyond a quarter of a century it qualifies. I don't want to include 90s because I know it will be Shahrukh Khan And if we do romance month again in February Shahrukh Khan is gonna be Our Shahrukh Khan reactions But so For the most part any region try to make it pre 1985 I know if we did get to Mali alam it might not be because their classics are maybe a little later in pre 90s time But let us know down in the comments for I know most of you watching this are hindi audience So let us know down below what the next hindi classic we should watch is and you know what? I'm looking forward to I'm looking forward to not just regional classics that we haven't gotten a chance to see because That means so much to us other regions, but other than hindi I'm also looking forward to classics from the Bengali industry that aren't from sajjit rai That would be nice, right Those are the main ones we get now, but I think last year we did uh, just not distant thunder because that that's sajjit rai We did a Bengali classic last year that wasn't rai It was the one about after the famine. I mean after the partition Forgive what it was. Anyway, anyway, uh, let us know what the next classic we should watch is down below


Today, we have a question from Virginie, who's asking, is it possible to insert JSON structured data at the bottom of the body instead of the head? It seems to work fine for many websites. Thank you for your question, Virginie. JSON-LD is one of the ways that Google can process structured data on a web page. The other supported formats are microdata and RDFA. RDFA is an HTML5 extension that supports linked data through additional attributes added to existing HTML tags on the page. Microdata is an open community HTML specification used to nest structured data within HTML content. Like RDFA, it also uses HTML tag attributes for this. JSON-LD, in comparison, is a JavaScript notation embedded in a script tag in the page head or in the body. The markup is not interleaved with user-visible text, which makes nested data items easier to express. So, as mentioned, the JSON-LD structured data can be either in the head or the body of the page. So it sounds like we can answer your question with a solid yes. JSON-LD can also be injected into your pages using JavaScript, if that suits your pages better. Thanks for watching, and remember, if you have any questions, post them on Twitter using the hashtag AskGoogleWebmasters. See you next time.


Live from Washington D.C., it's theCUBE, covering Inforum DC 2018, brought to you by Infor. And welcome back here on theCUBE, Inforum 2018. We're live in Washington D.C., continuing our day two coverage here on theCUBE, along with Dave Vellante. I'm John Walls, it's now a pleasure as well to welcome Eric Noran to theCUBE. He's the managing director of the CFO and Enterprise Value Consulting at Accenture. Good morning, Eric. How are you, sir? Hey, good to see you. How have you? With us, we appreciate the time. Yeah, but it'll be us. Let's talk about first the relationship, Accenture and Infor. I know you've been elsewhere, right? Doing some other things with other folks and have kind of migrated back into the Inforum fold. What led to that and what kind of successes are you having? Well, so we're very excited about the partnership with Infor. This is kind of like really the second year for us right now as we go into the second year. The first year was really driven from the partnership and the work that we do at Coke Industries and that client experience kind of led us into a variety of different paths of partnership with Infor. We've been doing work with Infor products for many years but our alliance has just kind of blossomed in this past year into a variety of different areas. Focusing on the cloud suite financials, focusing on GT Nexus and the supply chain space and now we're getting more and more excited about the burst and we're also getting very excited about the whole, the way the Infor OS platform is just blossoming and being tailored to a variety of different industries. And you've got three offerings, right? If I remember right, that you're taking out, that you're taking to your client base as we speak. Why don't you give us a rundown of what you're up to? Well, in our practice we have, in our CFO and Enterprise Value practice, we have an offering that's all around digital finance. That's one of our biggest areas. And that's really all just about the intersection of platform technology and how it enables the next generation of the finance function for the CFO. So that we cloud, that could also include things like, you know, automation and artificial intelligence applied to the finance function. We see in our recent research here that the CFO role is pivoting really to be not really as focused on the books and records and being the controllers, right? But the CFO's role is now becoming more focused on being the digital steward, the value architect of the enterprise. And so the core of finance is being digitized so that the transaction handling can be done more in an automated and efficient way and then freeing up the talent to focus on analytics and value add. And that really allows the CFO to focus more on driving insights into the business, driving growth and what we call enterprise value. So I totally agree. The role of the CFO is transforming quite dramatically. You know, long gone, in my view anyway, are the days of CFO equals bean counter. There's a controller for that. And bean counter, by the way, is not a pejorative. I run a business and I'm happy when people are counting those beans, but it's not the CFO's role. They're really transforming. You see some rockstar CFOs, certainly in the tech industry. Mike Scarpelli, Tom Sweet to just name a couple. Reporting still matters, compliance still matters, but the CFO is taking a much more strategic role. I'm really interested in this digitization of finance. Can we double click on that? What does that specifically mean? Maybe you could give us some examples. Well, I think that a couple things. One is cloud, right, all of a sudden. I want to say one thing is how transaction handling is moving from paper into all aspects of touchless transaction handling. One is that harnessing the data for transactions so it's touchless between vendors and customers and how that just flows through the system in a more digital way. Less paper, more digital, more touchless integration, more automation, right? And then with that platform enabling things like artificial intelligence or machine learning being applied to these patterns of transaction handling so it can do the compliance checking and the reconciliation and so that the accountants, right, are enabling these algorithms to check things and don't have to do it themselves, right? But then there's also this whole context of digital sort of process automation that yields new ways of working. New ways of looking at efficiency in terms of how and where the work is done, right? There was a view of shared services and how we enable a digital operating model where there's work that can be done with business unit intimacy and then there's work that can be done from other locations but then enabled by digital technology that's common and standardized, right? In a common platform that's also scalable and flexible. And so putting all those things together is what we call digital finance. I love this conversation and Accenture is like the best of the best. You guys get deep industry expertise and domain expertise. I'm interested in, Eric, in what the organizational structure looks like because when we talk about digital, you're talking about data. Yeah. And when you talk about data, you're talking about monetization in some way, shape, or form. People I think got confused in the early days of big data, say, oh, we can sell our data. More importantly is how data contributes to the monetization of the company and how you can harness that and invest in that. And that's really where the CFO comes in but he or she is not an expert at digital, not a chief data officer or chief digital officer but they're an enabler. They got to understand the strategy, they got to pay for the strategy and maybe help course correct it. So what are you seeing as the right organizational regime to take advantage of digital? Well, I think at first off, it's integrated and it's focused on integration and collaboration for sure. I think that there is a role where finance has the business acumen and the insights to find out where the story of enterprise value, where it is now, where it could be relative to the drivers of the business and but what's going on in the industry or the adjacent industries that it can take advantage of. So it's really all about a partnership between, let's say finance, and let's say bringing in new talent and skills like data scientists and all those kind of digital skills and integrating it into finance so that it could be more accessible and then translate it into opportunities for the business unit. So a couple of examples could be just one, just getting a, when we say monetization I think there's two things. One is cost reduction. Where could you just use data to just understand the business and all aspects of where costs and how they're behaving and just being far more precise about where there are opportunities to reduce costs in a very strategic way. Right, and that is value. Then there's the other side on revenue uplift where there could be optimization of pricing, optimization of your discounting strategy, all those things that get into maintaining and improving your revenue. Yeah, without any additional cost of goods sold. Correct. Cost of sales, right? Exactly. That's a great example, right? That's right. Your operating structure stays the same to getting more leverage out of that operating structure. And then there's other things where there's adjacent opportunities to just gain market share, right? Just to say, well, where are those opportunities with? And really what we want to say is that by applying all this intelligence, it's focused on, really the theme is, focused on customer experiences. Like what are the customer experiences that could be enabled with digital technologies in a seamless, touchless way that are just differentiating the company in the market? Customers, I think the world is changing, it's disrupting. So the ways in which customers are interacting with businesses are expecting these kind of digital experiences. Very much inspired by a lot of the digital native companies that are out there in the market. So the traditional companies that don't have those experience need to catch up and invest in these kind of customer experiences. Give me an example.  And you've got experiences that are about paying your bill or experiences that have to do with services that you need by going to a call center, all right? Now, maybe you can have, you know, the traditional route of talking to someone or maybe there's a way you can go between the information and the channels that you have between your telephone, you know, the mobile app between the website, being able to talk to someone and having chatbots and the mix and how you coordinate all those different experiences so that that the customer can come in and get their questions answered in a very efficient way. In some cases, the chatbots and the kind of sophistication that they can have to address the customer's question right on the spot in a very timely way helps them to say, I got my question solved and I'm happy with that experience, right? Same thing with having information about I'm getting a service supply to my home. How do I know that I'm having that same certainty of the service supply to the home much like the certainty that consumers are experiencing kind of like when they get an Uber and they're like, hey, I know that the car is only five minutes away and it's coming and I have that certainty of an experience. Now that's being applied to other kind of customer experience situations. I'm hearing three things. So first was save money. Example, RPA would be something to help you drop money to the bottom line, just cutting out mundane tasks. The top line operating leverage and that's around analytics. Maybe optimizing pricing was the example you gave. The third I'll call TAM expansion which is really gaining share. Leveraging your digital strategy to maybe try to be an incumbent disruptor before you get disrupted. Now that last one has more risk associated with it because there are additional costs, you got other costs to good sold, you got go to market costs, but the reward could be huge. These are the conversations, this is a great proxy for the conversations that are going on with your clients, right? Yeah, absolutely. And I think that, look there's, the market is going through changes constant. Disruption is coming in different forms, whether it be through technology or other kind of industry integrations. And they're different in the different, I specialize in more of the communications media technology industry. And so those are where I spend most of my time and what's going on in communications right now and what's going on with communications and media is quite an interesting time on how content and distribution of content is changing. And the way that the next generation of consumers are going to think about consuming media and how advertising is distributed, we're going through a tremendous transformation in that space. And all the companies are kind of racing to have that advantage of how they connect with the consumers at scale in a seamless, connected way so that they have that ability to continue to serve them in new and innovative ways. So let's talk about those, so you said comms and media, are we talking telecoms? Yeah. Okay, and then tech industry is in IT, technical, tech suppliers? Tech suppliers, Cisco. Cisco and companies like Lenovo, those kind of companies that are in that space. So those guys are pretty forward thinking in terms of technology adoption. Oh, absolutely. Okay, but the telco business is really interesting right now. Oh, absolutely. Hardened infrastructures, they get over the top suppliers coming in, the cost per bit is going down, but they can't charge more. You know this very well. So they're going through some really radical transformations. At the same time, they have a huge opportunity with content, you're seeing people make some moves. Yes. Maybe talk about what's going on in that business a little bit more. Well, there was the recent Comcast just acquisition of Sky is quite nowhere. We got AT&T going through the Time Warner thing. And then you have, so that's a content play that I think is just freeze up some opportunities for companies like Comcast and AT&T to start really servicing their customers in a new profound way. To be able to say it could be content that is suited to different demographics and to get those consumers at scale, not only to keep them comfortable with the and very delighted, if you will, with the kind of wireless service and flexibility they have with that, but then to be able to see all the range of content that they could be consuming, all of which is coming back to those companies as data, as the consumers are watching all this content and having better control of visibility of all the different patterns that they're seeing in the use of this content, so they can then in turn, shape different kinds of programming and shape different kinds of advertising programs that are tailored to those demographics. And there's an underlying infrastructure transformation that's going on here. I mean, so something as basic as, you know, things like network function virtualization, not to get too geeky out here, but they're trying to make their infrastructure more agile so they can compete with the OTT suppliers and they're trying to vertically integrate as content creators. Absolutely, and this whole next wave of 5G is a huge thing that's going to come to us and that's a big disruption that's just starting and will happen in the next three to five years that will be coming. So everybody's trying to get digital right, every CEO that you talk to, but when you go beneath that to the organization, it's harder to get people to actually move. Do you get, do you see a sense of complacency of people saying, well, you know, not, we're doing pretty well in our industry or I'll be retired before this all happens? I mean, how do you combat that? Well, I think that, I mean, that does exist in certain industries and certain types of companies. You know, I think that's the whole point about talent, right, and I think when we come back and look at talent as really, when we think about change, not only is the technology changing, but the talent that's available not only in the finance function, but in all parts of an enterprise, the next generation of folks that are going into the workforce are just coming from a different place in terms of how they use technology in their lifestyle, but how they want to apply to there as a customer, but then how they want to do it as an employee. And so when we have that conversation about, well, what is the future going to look like? A lot of it will come down to, well, what does digital mean as an experience for your consumer and your customer, but also what does it mean for the talent? And we believe that, look, talent is a critical asset in every company. It's the biggest asset that we have in a century, right? So how do we inspire and have folks enabled to use digital technologies, to have that entrepreneurial sort of platform to use these digitally native tools? That's really the key. And I think that any kind of CFO that's thinking about betting on the future that talent is very much a part of that story. It's definitely about technology is very important. It's an enabler, it's a platform. However, it's the talent that will be using the platform to take those insights and drive growth. And the wild card is data, right? That's the new- Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean, we- A variable in the equation. Yeah, yeah. Is data, putting data at the sort of core of your organization and having the talent that knows how to exploit that data. Sure, sure. And I think that when I think about talent, there's, I mean, there's different specializations, but I think the talent is really about the collaboration. You see people who are able to work with other different cross functions and say, well, how do we build and find this together? How do we discover where the opportunity, the insight is together? And there's differences between stuff which, like I said, things that are known and we just have to optimize what we have and then there's going into the new areas that haven't been discovered yet. And I think that the thing about the talent that's curious, you know, we like the way we can think about like, okay, curious about what could be or what's out there and using data not as a hurdle, but harnessing the power of data to go into these areas and start exploring and using all those different tools to explore where could we go? And one of the things that's interesting is that it's not about, you know, when we talk about analytics and some of the tools that are out there, it's not about necessarily precision in this moment. It's about direction of where you can go and exploring and continuing to find the facts that support investment. At your point, I mean, the tools and the tech aren't the hard part. It's the unknown, it's the people, you know, the processes around that, getting everybody on the same page to collaborate. It's like old dogs, new tricks. I mean, so, not we're simplifying, but you are trying to bring new tricks to folks and there's a generational awareness that there's a difference between the people they have coming up and where they sit. That's right. And we think that, look, you know, by bringing a fresh new talent in to the organization, that in and of itself has the team operating and working differently. Because not only do they have new tools, but there's a new way of talent being integrated. You know, new talent and experienced talent, you know, seeing how these things come together with a mandate, again, on superior business outcomes, like let's go after these prizes. It's worth it to get this right, to make these investments, because if we get it right, there's an opportunity to grow revenue, to grow profitably, to gain market share, right? So there's a, it's hard, okay? There's culture change and change, this is normal, okay? Digital transformation is not an easy thing to do. All companies go through, you know, different things, but it's worth it in the end. Yeah, and Infor has talked a lot at this show about new ways to work, what I call new ways to work. And I think there's some substance there. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Eric, thank you. And for the record, we are always open to new tricks. We do like new tricks. Okay. Good to have you with us. Okay, my pleasure, guys. Eric Norton from Accenture. Back with more on theCUBE, we are live here in Washington, DC.


The man sets out to be a soldier, he hopes to accomplish many things. He wants to serve his country. He wants to carve out a career for himself. He wants to see something of the world. He wants excitement, a challenge. He wants to prove himself a man. I think I've accomplished all of this. I've got my campaign ribbons and my sergeant strikes. I've served on three continents and been in 15 foreign countries. About interesting assignments, I've worked with top-notch people. I have more responsibility than I had a dream possible. I've had a lot of satisfaction out of being a soldier. And I think I've been a good one. One thing I'm positive of. In my 14 years in the Army, I've never had a more satisfying job than I have now. As a drill sergeant. A year ago, I didn't know what a drill sergeant was. I was sitting in a PX in Kaiser's Lauder in Germany, wondering where the Army was going to send me next.


Welcome back to Exotic Wine Travel. I am your host, Matthew Horky. Hi, I'm Sheridan Tond. Welcome back to the show today. We have a cool show because we have American wine and Italian wine. So what's the theme here? What's going on? So we actually, these are these are wines that are distributed by our friends, taposhinsvino.com. I'll put it in the description box. We are not affiliates for them. They're just our friends, John and Irene Ingersoll. They live in Napa Valley and they're bringing in some high value for money wine into Napa. I was like, why are you bringing wine into Napa? These are nicely priced wines in comparison to those Napa wines, right? Regardless wherever you go, you need some diversity, right? Yeah, exactly. So we're getting excited. I'm excited to taste some of these wines today. I used a Coravan model to Elite. They sent it to me and pouring into our Gabriel glasses. So I'm thankful for that. You want to grab your glass? Let's get ready to go. Yeah, I was wondering what's going on. They're all in two glasses. So we only have two wines to taste today. First, we have this producer that they just brought on called Bokish. Now Bokish is actually from Lodi, south of Sacramento in the San Joaquin Valley. Spanish origins, they worked overseas in Spain, came back planning only Spanish grapes in Lodi. Lodi is known for a lot for Old Vine Zinfandel. I'm excited to try this because we drank with them when we visited them in Napa, the Bokish Granace 2014 Terra Alta Vineyard. This wine is killer. If you don't buy it from them, find it, buy it, drink it, love it. Fantastic wine. It was in French American Oak for 18 months. There's no oak kind of light color. Fruity, strawberry, cherry with white pepper. Easy to drink, soft tannins.  I'd give 4.3. I think this one's awesome. You weren't as high on it as I was, but I was going crazy. Oh, I liked it a lot. It's a completely different, very unusual expression of Granace. It's pretty. It's really pretty. So I'm a little bit scared that the Granace Blanca is not going to be as good as the Granace. So this is the Bokish Granace Blanca, Granace Blanc 2016, 20 US dollars, the red's 23 US dollars, six months in stainless steel, six months in neutral oak. I am excited to taste this. I don't drink nearly as much as Granace Blanc because I want to. We had some killer ones from Galbi and Roussillon from Matassa. We're going to Languedoc in a little bit. So we're excited about that. Let's give this a go. For those of you who don't know, Rome Grape, Granace Blanc actually brings, I think it has the highest, the city out of drawing a blank here. I had a Mars on Roussa. I'm sorry. All right. Let's give this a little bit of a go. Very lemony. Apple. And apple. Fresh, fresh, fresh, fresh. Green apple. We're thinking lemon on the nose. I think I almost, there's a little bit of flintiness going on, which I like about it. I think that's about it. Let me give this a go. I find aromas pretty straightforward. Simple. But I do like the mouth feel, the texture. It's just got just, it's a dry one.  Listen, I'm not as excited about, it's a Granace Blanc, but it's similar profile where it has enough fruitiness, yet enough for most people like, but enough seriousness to draw people in. What else do you think? I agree with you. Both wines have similar things. Some more accessible, fruiting, bright, fresh. I'm not that high on this wine, but it's because it's just my style, like what I wouldn't go for. I can see the benefit though, like where it feels, the market that it feels. Yeah, definitely. It's people, people like us. For me personally, I'm about 3.3.9 out of five on Vino.  The red was killer. Shall we move on? Yeah. All right. Let's move on. So the next wine that we have, we have this Italian producer makes wines from all over Italy. His name is the Vino, Roberto, isn't he? He's making Barbarresco, Barolo, Chianti superiori, Montipolciano di Abruzzo, I think Olengeroso, Chianti superiori. So a lot of different wines works with different farmers. We actually drank this with John and Irene, the Barbarresco 2009 from the village of Barbarresco, 92 points suckling, which was cool. They said that all they did, they asked to suckling to rate the wines, they sent to him, he gave him a score. This was really good Barbarresco. It wasn't the most mind blowing in the world, but it's everything that I wanted, the cranberry, the tar, a little bit of earthiness, kind of the hazelnut character. The tans were developed 2009, obviously. This is 36 US dollars. I think I was 4.2 out of five on this. I'm a Vino. I thought it was really good. You? We were lucky to catch it at the right age. We're drinking a lot of it. So this is what we're actually going to taste today. This is the Venom Barolo from 2011. This is from La Mora. So I'm expecting this to be a little bit softer La Mora sandy soil. We've been there actually. We've been to Barolo. We like La Mora because those wines are accessible early. Excuse me. Let's give this a go. First of all, has true Nebiolo color, some browning on the edges, lighter color. Let me see if this is true Barolo. I think this suckling gave us 90 points actually. Cherry, rose, rose petal, some fresh, beautiful green. And the old worldiness that you want, right? I know that he works with local farmers. Some of his wines are certified organic. This one is not, but it doesn't matter. Let's give this on a little bit. They go here. Very nice. No, it's very floral. Very pretty. It's a lighter Barolo. It's like almost like a heavier Barbarisco type deal. Cranberry, cherry, for me, I get a little bit of tarred, not a ton. Sometimes I like that a little bit more in my Barolo. Herbal, floral, touch of perfume. Oh, it's developing a little bit of tobacco finish to it. Very, very nice. Tobacco and cherry cola. Again, both these wines, this isn't the most, don't think that you're getting Conterno or Naldi, you know, those kind of Barolos. Very nice drinking Barolo. The tannins are very soft, remember Yodol? Yeah, it still, it still greets on the cheek a little bit, but it's not harsh. 38 U.S. dollars. So for Barolo's tannins, that's pretty much a bargain. I like it. I'm not going crazy over the top of that. I think it's very good. For me, this is kind of why easily 4.0 out of 5. I think this is very delicious. How much did you score the Barbarisco? 4.2. Okay. I would give it 4.2 as well, because both are the same quality. Oh, okay, okay. So Sirene's high. No, no, no. I'm just, I like it just as much. I just think that because this is 2011, this is 2009, I see the potential that it would develop into something beautiful. So you are enjoying this? I'm enjoying this. Okay, great. So check out these wines. Actually, we have discount code for these wines. I will put it up on the screen right now. I think you get 10% off. Once again, we're not affiliates. So if you buy, you don't buy, you're not hurting our feelings at all. It's just something that nice that we give you. Anything you want to talk about anymore on these two wines? No, no. I think this is ganache again. It's really worth sticking out because it's a different expression. Yeah, I think people, yeah, just to sum it up, you know, for people, especially in America, you're drinking, you know, Sauvignon Blanc Chardonnay, try some Rhone whites. Fantastic. You can give you different flavor profiles. Nevello too, if you're drinking Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot. Check out Nevello. It's awesome, great, right? Let's go. So guys, if you like this video, please subscribe to our YouTube channel, Exotic Wine Travel. I will see you for the next episode.


A carburetor is one of the most refined components of a dirt bike. Years and years of development in the racing world have made this component a complete work of art. But how exactly do they work? And how different is a flat CR carb from a mechanical slide carb? Stay tuned, find out! A carburetor has a simple job to add fuel to the air that goes into the engine. The air fuel mixture is burned in the combustion chamber and the rapid expansion of the extremely hot gases is what provides the drive of the engine. However, there's a magical number for an engine to work the most efficiently possible. An air-fuel ratio of 14.7 to 1. But what does that mean? For every 1 gram of fuel there has to be 14.7 grams of air, since air is not just made of oxygen. Any air-fuel ratio under 14.7 is considered a rich mixture and anything more than 14.7 is considered a lean mixture. However, in dirt bikes the ideal air-fuel ratio is closer to 12 to 1, since dirt bikes are performance oriented machines rather than the epitome of efficiency. But how exactly does a carburetor mixes air and fuel? Let's first take a look at the simple mechanical slide carb. A carburetor with a mechanical slide is found on two strobe dirt bikes and the way it works couldn't be simpler. As the name implies, you have a mechanical slide crossing the main air passage, which is attached to the throttle cable. How much you twist the throttle determines how much the slide is blocking the airflow in the main air passage. The section right under the slide is called the throat. Under the main air passage there's a float pole, which is connected to the fuel tank. This float pole is responsible for keeping available at all times a steady level of fuel under the throat in order to prevent irregular throttle response. The float is a simple buoy with a needle that blocks the fuel tank's feeding port when there's enough fuel in the float pole. From the float pole the fuel can be sucked into the main air passage through three different feeding circuits. The choke circuit, the idle circuit and the main circuit. Let's see how all these circuits work together. To reach in the mixture on startup, we pull the choke, which provides additional fuel to make it easier for the engine to start when it's cold. Once the engine starts, the choke closes and the idle circuit kicks in. The circuit provides a small but steady amount of fuel whenever the engine is running on idle and a little over idle through the pilot jet. When you twist more than around 1 eighth of throttle, the main circuit steps in, which provides the main amount of fuel according to the throttle response through the main jet. The principle is simple. When the slide lifts, the engine sucks air through the throat. Since the air is flowing from a larger cross section to a smaller cross section, the air has to accelerate, which in turn reduces the pressure where the cross section is the smallest. This low pressure point is placed right on top of the main jet, which creates a vacuum and sucks fuel through the circuit. To provide some adjustability, there's the adjustment screw in the idle circuit. You can either find an air adjustment screw or a fuel adjustment screw. Both make the idle mixture leaner or richer depending on the running conditions, but are adjusted in reverse. Quite simple, right? Besides the mechanical slide carb, there's also the flat CR carburetor, usually found in 4-stroke dirtpikes. This carb isn't as simple as the mechanical slide one, but it was a game changer for the development of 4-stroke dirtpikes. The flat CR carburetor also has a float bowl, an idle and main jet, adjustment screw and a slide. However, this slide has 4 small wheels and a vacuum release plate. So, what is the purpose of making the slide so complex? As opposed to 2-stroke engines, 4-stroke engines create much bigger intake vacuum pulses. If a mechanical slide is used on a 4-stroke engine, the slide would get pushed so hard against a carburetor that it would get stuck and wouldn't move freely. However, by having a slide with a fixed cap between a carb and a slide, there would be an unwanted air bypass between these 2 components and there wouldn't be any way to get around it. This is where the vacuum release plate gets the job done. When the plate is in its place, there is only a minor play between the slide and a carb, mostly thanks to the rubber seal on the inside that acts like an air valve. Near the bottom of the plate, there's a hole. This plate works as a buffer to regulate the resisting force between the slide and the carb during the vertical movement. During air intakes, the plate is pulled against the carb and sucks all the air from the space between the plate and the slide through the hole. As this happens, the rubber seal doesn't let any air in from the sides, creating a vacuum as strong as the vacuum created by the intake, pulling the vacuum release plate to the slide. This counterbalances the contact forces and allows a smoother travel of the slide while accelerating and decelerating. Incredibly simple, right? Even with this clever system, the suction created is so strong that other systems had to be developed to further improve throttle response. The double cable throttle system on four strokes is an extra way to help the slide move more easily on a carb. While one cable is pulling, the other is pushing. However, these features only address the mechanical part of the problem of having a carb in four stroke dirtbikes. On sudden and quick accelerations, there can be a lag from the moment you open the throttle to the moment the fuel is being sucked by the engine. The mixture will momentarily become too lean and can make the engine stall in typical four stroke fashion. This is when the flat CR carb brings another trick to the table, the accelerator pump. The accelerator pump is basically a rod with a diaphragm and a spring at the end, filled with fuel. It is connected to two canals, a longer but less restricted canal which is connected to a small brass nozzle on the main air passage and another shorter and more restricted canal connected to the float pole. On normal accelerations, the fuel pushed by the diaphragm will easily flow to the float pole without reaching the brass nozzle. However, on really quick accelerations, the shorter canal will be too restricted to let all the fuel reach the float pole and will be forced to go up the longer and less restricted canal. This will squirt additional fuel into the inlet manifold, preventing the air-fuel ratio from becoming too lean. This mechanism eliminates the so-called bogging, making it more suited for racing applications. A carburetor is a very simple and well engineered component and even with fuel injection becoming a standard, sometimes you simply can't beat the simplicity, performance and easy to nobility of a carb.
