Roedd e.naid krifroРЕC i'r meddwl i'r cull hwnnw. Yn byw'r schoedd ar Walysi Golf Clwp. Ond wedi wef, ei ddigon ni'r cull hwnnw mae'n meddwl. A bod e'n hwaith y brifesgol, yn cyflog yn y brifesgol yn gondol, ac wedi gweld o'r anffanc o'r hyn o'r anffanc o'r anffanc o'r hollau ddim yn grim speculation.  Wel, yw ddaw iawn, mae'r gwrdd Gwrdd Cyddiol iawn o'r gwrdd Cyddiol iawn i'r gyrdd Cyddiol i'r rhan o'r rhoi iawn, most forgiving irons for mid to high handicappers and like I said I am following once again James so thank you for the heads up or the reminder at least I will say as well don't forget to pop on over if you don't have not seen James's channel which is unlikely James Robinson golf produces daily content I think he's done daily content for about three years now incredible achievement in itself go and check out his top five most forgiving irons and see how it compares to mine hmm so the first thing we need to establish is what quantifies an iron to be in my top five of the most forgiving of 2021 well first of all all these five clubs will be very similar aesthetically and what I mean by that they'll have a fairly thick sole unit they'll have a thick top line they'll be a bit bigger heel to toe than what you'd go to the other end of the spectrum in terms of our blade like and in theory the mass that's packed in there is where the technology is to produce a bigger sweet spot and therefore provide a bit more forgiveness for off centre hits that you and I are likely to produce out there on the golf course so that's what my top five will be made up of the way I'll be separating them is kind of like aesthetically uh how they what which which is better looking which is better priced so they're putting a package together of what I think separates the fifth from number one in my hand right now is what I consider to be number five will pinch that T and I'll tell you what that is once we've hit this short iron off this fantastic T position right slightly left we want to be here and that's why these irons do what they do high launching that's bounding down the middle my number five let's get this list started is the G425 from Ping now then what quantifies it what put it in fifth well first of all I think with the G425s they did a great job aesthetically I think these look really good in terms of shelf appeal they're also made by Ping and first of all you've got a lot of trust in that brand there's a lot of reliability in that brand you know as a golfer that in terms of forgiveness I think Ping make the golf club or at least the irons for the masses it performs really really well right throughout the bag it's not the biggest of top lines so I think profile it sits quite nice and will appeal to a number of golfers a broad spectrum of golfers it launches the ball really well I think it's got plenty of forgiveness in terms of off center hits the one thing I don't like about G425s is the sound and feel and that's the thing that I would slightly mark it down on they've never got that quite right in this model quite yet it's not a big deal for everybody but for me that's where to mark it down and that's why it comes in at just number five now next up is this iron in my hand and this iron makes this list for a number of different reasons and it's not just about performance it's not just about forgiveness even though I know I said this is my top five for giving irons of 2021 but it meets some other critical criteria that will appeal to a lot of people oh what a launch that is can we make the green oh no we make the front bank of the green so what is it and why did that feel so good because it's incredible that it feels so good but it costs so little and this gets in here not only just because it looks good it's also priced incredibly well which like I said will appeal to a lot of golfers out there and will appeal to a lot of golfers who are perhaps starting out the game or looking for this kind of club but then also don't know when invest heavy in terms of some of the price tags that are attached to some of these others it's the wilson d9 I think first and foremost it looks like your classic game improvement iron it has got that thick uh soul unit it has got that thick top line from the back end I think it looks pretty decent it certainly looks as if it's been put together really well but the big deal for me is that price point it comes in so much lower than the rest of them and like I said if you're looking to get into this game arguably this is the type of iron set that you're looking to buy it's perfect in terms of its price point but as you've seen I've just hit number five which was the 425 I've just hit the wilson d9 both of them identical in terms of their ball flight and how high they launch so performance was little to split them the big deal though is that price point now next up is an iron that I think could make this list possibly every year it's really mr reliable in this kind of grouping it comes from tailor made and I think again like I said with ping you can rely on this type of category of iron being well met in terms of the requirements that tailor made provide it's bulky it's got a bit more mass yet again it is I will tell you this one before I hit a ball it's a tailor made sim 2 max os and again one of the things that for me on a personal level this is one of the bulky clubs in terms of its mass this is one of the heavier ones in terms of top line it is definitely right up there with the stronger lofted clubs as well but it will appeal to the masses and it will certainly help every type of golfer and for me in this top five category of most forgiving irons of 2021 it's a no brainer it gets really tough at this top end it's hard to criticise this club in terms of why it wouldn't make number one because like I said it does things really really well it's massively forgiving I found this club no matter where you hit it off the clubface one it launches and lofts the ball really well which is something a lot of golfers will struggle with in this category but two in terms of forgiveness and distance wise it always seems to make a way of getting there so it's a no brainer for me it's got to be in this list it makes number three and on this par five off a tight lie like I said to bit of meat at a dress I'm feeling good I'm feeling confident and why wouldn't you be wow how good is that I think we're just going to miss that bunker oh we're sure to that bunker on the right hand side once again the big deal with these clubs all these clubs is just how well they launch the ball how easy you put a bit of club on ball it fires up there and the question you ask yourself is when you get a clown like me thinking he wants to go towards blades why would you bother now as we all know lists and opinions and top five from youtubers well that's one thing but really speaking that is just one singular opinion I prefer to get the opinion of our masses a new people out there what are you finding that you've what are you finding that you found is the most forgiving iron that you've tested so far this year and perhaps putting your bag so comments down below if you're putting your top five together either list your top five by all means but certainly give me a feedback on what you think number one is because I know what mine is and it's coming soon now this for me is where it gets really interesting and it's where I divide the fifth into the top two becomes not about forgiveness because the one thing I'll say about all these irons is they obviously forgiving hence the title of the video and I don't think you can really separate them in terms of forgiveness between one and five they all do an incredibly job of being very user friendly so then how do you split over top five well I said at the beginning of the video one of the things that would pay a a key factor for me would be aesthetics because there is a separation between the likes of number three which we've seen which was bulk and mass and did an incredibly good job compared to this which is in my hand it's the jpx 921 from I should say hot metal I need to add that bit from a zuno we've seen this iron it's done in terms of reviews in all this range of the 921 range I think they've been produced an exceptional range of irons but what they've done with this thing in terms of the hot metal is they've produced something that is incredibly good looking first and foremost mazuno make amazing looking irons there is no doubt about that and then to do that into the game improvement market I think is a massive tick in the box because it's not the type of look that you would normally associate with that category I'm afraid to say this looks superb plenty of chrome which I love lot really looks sleek it's still got that sort of bulk of the massive address but again they've done a two tone colour in terms of the top line which gives a place a little tricks on the mind so it looks a little bit thinner than it is and again they've done exactly the same as that with the sole unit down below it's it's so nice to the dress and it feels really good as well so for me what mazuno have done and why it makes number two is yes it's a mega forgiving iron yes it's really playable of course it is one of my most forgiving irons of 2021 but it's also one of my best looking irons of 2021 in a category that we're not normally associating this thing with do you know what be on the flag be on the flag oh that is about 10 yards left of flag and the interesting thing in there we was playing 185 that was a six iron that I've got actually in this nine to one the other shots that you've seen me at the smorn of all been with seven iron six iron with this playing 185 launches the ball again incredibly well I probably got that you know what just off the little bit of the bottom grooves and it just shows you again just how good these things are of compensating for a lack of strike even that seagull was impressed so how's my list doing so far and we've got that number one spot to announce but in number two one of the things that I brought into the equation was aesthetics and feel but really speaking is that something that is part of the criteria when you're looking to grab yourself the most forgiving iron that's out there right now so I got this one a little bit mixed up our golfers that are looking for this type of club is sound feel and looks really such a big deal come on comments down below carry that bunker carry go just missed left fringe there I've come to what is one of my favorite golf holes here at wallacy two which is 16 by the way to announce what is my favorite most forgiving iron of 2021 it goes back to what I said about number two this iron for me is just as forgiving as all the other five were but visually and feel wise they've done something completely different than any of the others have managed to achieve and I think it's the first time possibly that someone has managed to achieve this in terms of it feels incredible it launches the ball really well it's got plenty of forgiveness but it's packed inside a small profile it is the Callaway apex dcb this iron release this year was for me a real sort of game changer again in terms of certainly for Callaway and their apex range they've got every spectrum covered right from down the sort of mb range a real players blade right the way through now to this dcb the dcb is uh it's just an incredible iron it's hard to pick fault with certainly for me on a personal level the idea of blending this set with these kind of things I think you want forgiveness more at the the longer end of the bag that's the thing I would say personally I think most golfers no matter what level you're playing at can certainly get away in around your nine iron your eight iron perhaps your seven iron you're certainly okay with different category as they like to put them into irons but at the longer end certainly six five and four and maybe that seven you want some assistance so the forgiveness in this thing is incredible it launches really well but it's that feel element as well that puts it into its own little unique category it is just very and again aesthetically it looks really good it's a quality quality build it's got a price tag that goes with it don't get me wrong if you take this compared to the d9s there's a completely different price point so that's something you would also consider but to get this into this small compact profile I'm not looking at what I think is a game improvement iron not whatsoever not in terms of that heel to toe length top line yes maybe certainly not the sole unit but that overall satin address what does it look like it certainly doesn't look like a super game improvement iron and with the forgiveness factor thrown in it's why it takes every single box and a little bit more and makes it my number one choice for the most forgiving iron for mid to high handicappers of 2021 and encourage you to go and try every single one of these irons there are a few others that are possibly thrown into the mix as well the good thing for you is right now there's so much choice and option and also in terms of budget like I said we've gone from the d9s the top end price wise would have been these and the jpx921s so again plenty of choices out there for you to make your decisions on and the thing is like I said earlier on the video this is one singular opinion take no notice of it use it maybe is a little bit of a guide that's all but go out and try them yourself and bag yourself a set of irons it'll certainly make golf just that little bit easier it's a tough old game though

All right, welcome back everybody. No deals were done. It is all good on Wednesday the 26th, 2020. Two-Box Ram Team, two-choice edition of Mosaic basketball, a lot of very high-end boxes, very pricey boxes, and well, then a lot of monster hit potential inside. All right, nice. El Gran, thank you. One spot left, remember, don't forget the filler break. Got to remind everybody about that. Where's my knife in my back pocket? So it's not just one spot left, kind of one spot left, but we still have to do that filler break, which you can see the details on the website, jaspercasebrakes.com. All right, so one auto per box on average. Silver and Mosaic prism. So all sorts of fun things in here. There's the back of it. How many breakers show you the back of these? I don't know if it's necessary, but let me get the full picture of this. All right, good luck. There should be an auto in the middle. Yeah, there it is. Let me show you these cards first. We got Wil Chamberlain, 78 out of 88. We got Serge Abacca, 61 out of 88. The Wil Chamberlain is Lakers edition. That's going to go to Natalie and the Serge is going to go to Alan. And nice Ty Jerome, NBA debut gold. Four out of eight, just a few numbers off a train whistle. What a nice low number there. Hachimura, not numbered. He's got some upside.

Mosaic basketball. Here's the basketball choice edition. Thanks for watching. I'm Joe for jazzy's case breaks.com. Check out our website for more hoops. Bye bye.


So we hear the ID Tech X and the high so who are you and Daniel job from resident Europe. So we're here resident Europe Acoustic mixers and hi, so who are you? So I'm Andrew Dupadey And so what are you gonna do right here? So we're gonna show a small little demo where we have some graphene and It's a glomerated from the first graphene from here So it's a it should be a nanopowder But it's actually a glomerated. So it's a large powder at the moment we're going to put it into a tube for the polystyrene beads and That will have a milling effect and it will reduce the agglomerated powder to a Nanopowder where it should be and then that nanopowder will coat the beads So this is your machine. What is this? This is the lab ram. It's a resident acoustic mixer It's a new mix in technology. Essentially. We have a non-contact mixer It's a platform goes up and down about 60 times a second But it automatically finds the resonant frequency of the platform or whatever's on it holds it at resonance at Accelerations up to 100 g and it will literally mix any combination of materials liquids and liquids liquids and gases liquids and solids or solids and solids so it recognizes what's on it Recognizes the the weight of the payload that's on it and finds its resonant frequency So every weight has a resonant frequency every system has a resonant system. Yes You have to type in what material is there? No, it works it all out for itself It's it's the system the platform and the payload and the technology can be used to mix virtually any combination of materials It mixes incredibly quickly sometimes ten times faster than conventional mixing it mixes more uniformly and more repeatably It's able to cope with nano materials It works great with graphene It's much safer with hazardous materials, and it's having a real impact in the battery industry Nice so you can show so we'll put some graphene. How much you put? Less than a gram Graphene is a very light material or yeah, it's very light Very small particles and you close it tight Close it Clamp it down. How long is it gonna take? Two seconds. Two seconds. So you should see a color change very quickly Yeah, okay, and they all coated Completely very uniformly So what's the main use case for this so the technology is in use over 30 industries It's rapidly becoming the mixing technology of choice with energetic materials and now also with batteries and also in the pharmaceutical industry So it's not really specific to one industry It's a very broad technology platform and the machine can do mixing it can do milling and it can do coating. So let's go over here You talk about Disrelevant for all these things here batteries indeed large scale batteries the the other nice thing about the RAM technology is that we go From the laboratory scale so you can work out your settings on the lab mixer and take that all the way through Our new 5 kilo omniram platform to the 36 kilo capacity RAM 5 and even the 420 kilo capacity RAM 55 It scales very well as virtually no difference between the laboratory scale and the production scale settings So what are we looking at here? Which one is this? The original lab ram and that's now been replaced. We mainly have the lab run to we're just bringing out a new lab RAM one for the half kilo capacity. This is a one kilo capacity system and the real advantage to the user is the Payback times you can achieve with this machine. So we have lots of examples from the different industries that we use Mixes that were 24 hours in conventional technology and now down to just a few minutes using the RAM So the machine pace for itself very quickly and the improvements that you can get you can do one of two things You can either make what you've previously made better with less waste Or you can actually make new materials ram will process things with viscoses much higher than conventional mixers can handle So this is the bigger slightly bigger one. So this is the 2h model This is for hazardous materials specifically so anything where there's a hazardous environment or working with explosives This is a sealed unit liquid cooled and compressed air purged. So that's what they do here hazardous environment like lithium is hazardous That's for explosives for hazardous powders. Yes for flammable flammable materials and then The only RAM is our five kilo capacity also available in a hazardous rated version So you sell the machines we resident is the manufacturer of the machines the only manufacturer to make a resident acoustic mixer in the world The only yes But she said Europe so resident Europe specifically looks after Europe and the European market We don't work through distributors. We want to look after customers directly and You said this is a big deal. I mean a lot of people need this. Yes, so we all these things as we move into the New developments in the battery industry 3d printing additive manufacture the the quality and the distribution of your ingredients the ability to process Nano powders becomes more and more important So conventional mixes are just unable to to deal with these materials and that's where the Rams really find in some benefit But this demo here had the beads, right? Yes small beads. So this what is that for it's just a demo This is a coating demonstration because the Ram is a very good use beads. It's a very versatile platform So in addition to doing mixing you can do coating those beads are very much the same as the ones you'd use for Injection molding system So if you wanted to take a plastic a standard plastic modify coat it with graphene So it went it flowed better into your injection mold or I had better Mechanical properties you could use the RAM to coat those materials before they went into that into that system So my camera is 60 frames per second. Yes, how much was it shaking per second here? So if we have a quick look at the frequency that the mix ended on it was So it's nearly It's nearly the same as my camera frame, right? Essentially should almost be able to freeze some of that motion out so that means I could have it means every Shake 60 times per second. Yes, and down or up no and It's an exact frame rate. That's perfect for the amount of beads that was there and everything so it automatically found the Resonant frequency 61.82 Hertz for the platform and what was placed on it and kept the material at that if it was an evolving mix That went from dry powders and a liquid to a paste as the mix changed the machine would Automatically adjust its resonant frequency and that's the clever bit about the technology How do you know how long it needs to shake so when is it mixed is an excellent question? One of the things that we're starting to find out is that we don't really understand lots of the materials that That we actually mix so the RAM is showing that you can actually achieve better distribution of those materials So you need other techniques be it near infrared or ultrasonic or x-ray tomography to look at those materials and really see When we get in the best answer, but in terms of It it outstrips the conventional techniques very very quickly So people already know sometimes within seconds that you've got a much better mixed product than you can achieve conventionally So what if you mix too long? Is it fine? So it's not a good idea You can you can over mix some materials So for instance if you have something that you want to preserve a particular particle size or particle morphology The longer you mix it you might start to mill that material down and that's what again Why the advantages to the speed with which RAM can mix you can get that mixed result very quickly before you've changed the particle morphology particle morphology and If you look over here And What else can you say about the applications? What do you do with this field of the? so flexible electronic stuff for things like printed circuit boards the the printing inks that are going into those are becoming more Sophisticated we're dealing with with new markets which require flexibility Or thinner materials so you need to get smaller particle fills into your printing inks RAM is excellent for mixing those in and with the batteries again Everybody's trying to squeeze that little bit extra performance out the batteries work with new materials finer materials and RAM is one The only technologies that's able to process those materials doesn't mean everybody in this industry is already customer of yours or not yet We've got a lot of customers in the industry But the number of people that are using RAM is growing rapidly so we're finding that customers previously had the laboratory scale machines They've had those a little while and now we're starting to move into the larger scale machines Because this is large scale we're talking about it goes Yeah, it's all the way up to our biggest mix of 420 kilos and we're even looking at techniques to make the process continuous So that you can actually continuously feed the materials in and take finished product off the machine So that means you could have mixed up for potentially billions of things out there. Yes, there's There really isn't any limit to the the industries and the products that RAM can be useful and the part you were talking about about When it's mixed when it's finished are you doing stuff in that that direction? No, there's other tools for measuring that kind of stuff We're doing our own research, but our customers are our main source of information So as a the customer understands their product better than anyone and they can they have the analytical techniques to support Deciding when that products mixed are how what how they should change the settings. You don't input. I put two grams of Graphene and I have these many beads. You don't need to do that You don't need to do that all you need to decide is what acceleration that you're going to mix that there are other options So your container size is an option You could decide to use vacuum or temperature control but the main input into that machine is the acceleration setting anything from one to a hundred G and Finding that right one takes a little bit of experimentation, but once you found it it mixes incredibly quickly

The featured bots for this video is 1986's Generation 1 Stunicons and their awesome combined form of Menasaur. Now the Stunicons made their first appearance in the animated television series during the two-parter Key to Vector Sigma. Megatron created the Stunicons to combat the Autobots on the ground. For some reason, they just couldn't handle the Autobots who were ground-based vehicles. So Megatron decided to have Rumble steal some various automobiles, which in turn he created robots out of. Now the Stunicons being created on Earth did not have any personality. So Megatron used the space bridge to go to Cybertron so he could use Vector Sigma, the Cybertronian supercomputer, to infuse the Stunicons with life. Now the Autobots followed Megatron to Cybertron and ended up creating the Aerial Bots during the same couple of episodes. The Aerial Bots were also a combiner team and they in turn combined to form Superion to take on the Stunicons combined form of Menasaur. Now Menasaur and the Stunicons actually appeared a lot throughout Season 2 and Season 3 of the Transformers in various different episodes where they usually always ended up taking on their arch-rival, Superion. Now Menasaur made his first appearance in Marvel Comics in issue number 22 where his face graced the cover of one of Marvel's 25th anniversary issues where he had all the different Marvel heroes all the way around him. So it was a pretty cool comic book cover. Now the Stunicons, it was almost the same storyline. Megatron created the Stunicons on Earth in order to combat the Autobots but instead of using the Supercomputer Vector Sigma, Megatron had tapped into Optimus Prime via one of Bomb Shell's Cerebro Shells and when Optimus Prime was creating the Aerial Bots using his Creation Matrix, Megatron using some sort of helmet was able to infuse his Stunicons with life at the same time. And as usual it was the Stunicons versus the Aerial Bots in that issue. Now unfortunately the Stunicons were only really used in that issue throughout the entire series. They were mainly just background characters. So enough of me talking about the group. Let's go ahead and take a look at my absolute favorite Generation 1 combiner team. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. We'll start things off by taking a look at the Stunicons in their vehicle modes. We have Dragstrip, the Formula 1 racer. Breakdown, the Lamborghini. The Leader Motor Master, the Semi. Dead End, the Porsche and Wild Rider, the Ferrari.  I completely restored this Generation 1 Stunicon set. And without their Generation 1 Repro labels, it wouldn't have been possible. So Toyhacks, thank you so much. Now the first figure we're going to go over is Dragstrip, the Formula 1 racer. And I love this figure as a kid. Something about the six wheeled race car really appealed to me. Now as you can see he does have this double barrel cannon on top. That can be removed. It just plugs into the back. It's got this L shape. Plugs right in there. Put that to the side. So we can get a better look at Dragstrip in vehicle mode. And this thing looks great. I love the wheels. I love the chrome engine on the back. The spoiler. I mean this vehicle mode, it rolls really, really good. Not the Wild Rider out of the way. So yeah, not much too car mode. Nice yellow collar, great decals, thanks to Toyhacks. Now let's go ahead and get him transformed. Super simple transformation. You're going to take the engine and flip it over so it fits into the cockpit. Then take the bottom section, pull down, flip the spoiler up, forming the feet.  And there you have Dragstrip in robot mode. Decent enough robot mode. You can make out his face sculpt there. He's got a square head. All of these combiners do have square heads to implement the combiner gimmick. The chrome looks really good on the chest. I mean he's all one lower leg, one of the downfalls of generation one. Only articulation he has is the arms can go up and down. He does come with a blaster. He's got this little purple gun right here that unfortunately pegs in above the fist instead of in his fist.  So you're going to peg it in right there above the fist. And now you have Dragstrip in robot mode, all armed and ready for battle. Now let's take a look at breakdown. Breakdown is the Lamborghini. Really nice looking Lamborghini. He's got the blue dual barrel, dual barrel cannon there on top. I'm going to go ahead and take that off so we can get a better look at vehicle mode. Lots of great molded detail. The paint applications are really good on this guy. Nice decal thanks to Toyhacks. Really nice looking vehicle. And just like the others he rolls really, really good. Now his transformation is simple but it's got a couple extra steps. What you're going to do is separate the rear of the vehicle like before. Swing around these sections and then push forward forming the legs. Go ahead and turn the vehicle over, take the whole front part of the car and flip back. Move the sides forward and there you have breakdown in robot mode. Nice die cast metal chest. Fairly decent face sculpt. You can see the mouth, you can see the visor. Great decals once again thanks to Toyhacks. Only articulation just like the others. The arms can move up and down. Breakdown also comes with a little blue pistol. Pop that in his hand. And there you have breakdown all armed and ready for battle in robot mode. Next up we'll take a look at dead end. Dead end has the big black dual barrel cannon on the rear of the vehicle attached. Go ahead and remove that. Nice looking Porsche. Great molded details. I like the lights right there. The paint stripe or the pin stripe down here on the right side looks really, really good. That sticker was a pain to apply. Let's know that right now. Great paint applications once again for the windows. He has the exact same transformation as breakdown. You're going to separate the rear of the vehicle, flip these sections around. Push in, turn the figure over, flip the front of the vehicle back. Sides forward and there you have breakdown in robot mode. Another die cast metal chest. Sticker decals. He's got a gold face. Kind of make out the details there.  Put that in his hand. And there you have dead end in robot mode all armed and ready for battle. That leg is a little loose. Also articulation, arms can go up and down. That's it. Complete 360, but they will catch on the front of the car that's hanging off the figure's back. Next up is Wild Rider. Wild Rider is a Ferrari and this vehicle looks awesome. Double barrel cannon on the back. My biggest complaint with Wild Rider, he could have used some paint applications to break up the windows. See how the whole sides red, whole fronts red, some black paint or gray paint highlighting those lines would have really helped. But other than that, a really sharp looking vehicle. This one has the simplest transformation of them all. Simply pull the rear of the vehicle back, flip the front up and back. And there you have Wild Rider in robot mode.  This one I always thought had the worst face sculpt of the bunch. And the decals, very ball pit-ish, very colorful. Wild Rider came with a pistol with a scope, so I thought that was pretty neat. We'll peg right in there to his hand. And there you have Wild Rider in robot mode all armed and ready for battle. And now we're moving on to the leader, Motor Master. Motor Master is a black and gray semi and I love the looks of this rig. Now when I first got Motor Master back in the day, I was so disappointed when I found out how small he was. In the cartoon, you know, he's always taken on Optimus Prime to prove who's king of the road. This little guy is practically the length of Optimus Prime's cab all by himself. So that was a little bit of a disappointing realization for me as a kid.  Now there's no rotation. The cab cannot rotate separate from the trailer. It's all hooked together. Beautiful painted details, great chrome work. I love this truck. And another shout out to Toyhacks. I love the menisor license plate that they added. Really, really cool.  And how you do that is you split open the top of the trailer, the back section, and fold the side flaps all the way down, flip this section out, and that forms a ramp. Let's see if I can get that all the way around this. It figures a little tight in transforming to the base mode. So there you have that.   And there is Motor Master's base mode. Motor Master comes with a little roller type vehicle. It doesn't really have a front or a back. It does have wheels so it can roll around and can actually drive up into Motor Master's base mode. This base mode also can fit the Stunning Kong cars as well. So we can have Wild Rider pulling up into the base for repairs. Now let's go ahead and get Motor Master transformed into robot mode. We're going to take these sections here, go ahead and bring those down. Those will form the robot legs. Take the top, fold over, fold the ramp back up in place, and click the sides together. Now you're going to take the arms and spread out just slightly. They should click in place, leaving a little gap right here where those tabs can fit into place, forming Motor Master's chest, and there you have Motor Master in robot mode. Now he is quite blocky. I always liked how the truck cab formed the feet. He's got a great face sculpt.  He needed eye decals or paint on the eyes to really make those pop. But other than that, I love the sculpted detail on his face. Limits and mobility, just like the other Stunning Kongs, his arms can do a complete 360, and I guess his legs can go in and out. That's mainly due to transformation.  So I always transform my Motor Master with the legs straight down, which gives him a little bit more hype. Now Motor Master came with a couple weapons. He has this chrome sword and large purple gun. And there we have Motor Master, all armed and ready for battle. I love the looks of that chrome sword. The Stunning Kongs in robot mode look great together. I love how the cars are all the same size. Motor Master is a lot taller. Granted he'd be smaller if I did the box art style transformation, but it works really good because he's the leader. Now the Stunning Kongs have another awesome ability where they can all combine together to form the larger Super Decepticon Warrior, Menasaur. So what we're going to do, we're going to start with Motor Master first. Go ahead and remove his weapons. Take this section here down and then push the arms in tight. Then flip the front section back. So the arms are now flush against the side of the vehicle. Now you're going to take Motor Master and transform him into box art mode. And now take the cab section, the feet, and you're going to unpeg those and flip them all the way around against the back of the figure. So he looks like this. Now you're going to take the roller vehicle. There is two holes on one side that correspond with the pegs on Motor Master's chest. You're going to attach those. You're going to take this waist piece and that's going to go right there between the fists and the legs.  It's just a mask. You're going to attach that over Motor Master's face. So Menasaur is coming along. That's pretty much all there is for Menasaur's torso. Now you're going to take drag strip, remove the gun. You're going to transform him back into vehicle mode, except you're not going to push this section together. I always use drag strip as the right arm. Go behind the figure and flip the head down, which is also the combiner peg. Then you're going to take a right fist, put that in the peg hole on the bottom, and then you're going to attach drag strip to Motor Master via the combiner port. That slots right into place. Next up is dead end. I like to use dead end for the other arm. Remove his weapon. Same thing, you're going to go ahead and slide the combiner port down, bring the hood of the car up, extend the legs and fold them back. You're going to transform him back into vehicle mode, but I extend those out. It gives the arms a little bit more length. We're going to get the left fist this time. Attach that on the back and the combiner port will fit here on the other side. Minasaur is halfway there. Next up is breakdown. Remove breakdown's weapon, straighten out the arms, extend the legs, flip those around. For the legs, you're going to bring the vehicle all the way together.  We're going to take the right foot plate. There is a R. You see right there, so you know which one's right, which one's left. We're going to attach the right foot plate underneath breakdown. So the right leg is ready. Lastly, we've got wild rider, remove his weapon, arms down, push the back together. Got to make sure and line it up. See those little slots right there? He's the only one who has these slots. You've got to make sure that's lined up just right. So we'll go together, leave the hood down, take the left foot plate, connect that. And now you're going to take Minasaur underneath. You've got these square holes that will go match up with those square pegs. So we'll lock in breakdown, then wild rider. Now we're going to take Motor Master's giant rifle. We'll give that to Minasaur, put that in his right hand. And normally what you're supposed to do is you take Motor Master's sword and give to Minasaur to hold in his left hand. A few years ago I discovered a replacement sword much bigger from, I believe it was a company called Crazy Devi. It looks exactly like the Generation 1 sword, but much bigger. And this thing looks great, wielded by Motor Master and it fits perfectly. So now you have the combined form of the Stonokons, the mighty Minasaur. And I love this combiner. He is one of the more solid combiners. He doesn't really fall apart when you shake him like some of the others do. Very limited mobility. The arms can go up and down and that is it. The giant Crazy Devi sword looks great with him, great looking chrome on it. We'll go ahead and take a close look at his face sculpt. The face sculpt I always thought looked like Sylvester Stallone. I mean, that may be just me, but maybe now you'll see it too and you'll never unsee it. Great sticker decals, thanks to the other accessories and they carry over very well thanks to the other Stonokons. But yeah, I love this figure. This was the only Decepticon combiner I owned as a kid. And he's one of my all time favorites. So there is one final look at the Stonokons and their combined form of Minasaur. Now for some quick size comparisons. Here is 1986's Minasaur with Generation 1 Megatron. His nemesis, Generation 1 Superion and the very disappointing Combiner Wars Minasaur. 1986's Generation 1 Stonokons is a fantastic set of figures. The vehicle modes are great. The robot modes are great and the combined form of Minasaur, though a little short, is great. These guys are solid figures, they're not prone to breakage and I couldn't be happier with them. As I've said before, these are my favorite Generation 1 combiner team. So there you go guys, 1986's Generation 1 Stonokons. Drag strip, breakdown, motor master, dead end and wild rider. So, does the Generation 1 Stonokons belong in your collection? Absolutely. This is a fantastic set. I've said it before, I'll say it again. This is my favorite combiner team out of Generation 1. They just look so good together. They are a great unified team, a very solid combiner. You can't go wrong with this guy. Now, be advised, there is some high quality knockoffs of this figure. So, make sure you know what you're getting and make sure you're getting all those pieces and parts. You've got the double barrel cannons and little pistols for the smaller robots. And then motor master has the sword, the gun, the mask, the chest piece, the torso, the feet, the fists. There are a lot of pieces and parts to this figure.

Hi everyone, thanks. Thanks for coming to learn more about oracles and how they fit into smart contracts and Ethereum's overall future So I think the the first useful thing is for us to get some shared context and to look Look at the security problem that we're trying to solve and then look at the different ways in which that security problem Can can be solved effectively So the nature of the problem is that smart contracts on great networks like Ethereum can't connect with external data This is based on how they reach consensus about transactions how they verify Verify the data in in blocks and it isn't something that's likely to change It's it's an inherent problem of all decentralized infrastructure that seeks to package transactions into blocks Because the miner set that you have doing that you don't want a specific miner responsible You don't want him having control over the ability to you know Make your contract trigger from data or not trigger and you also can't have the entire miner set exposed to various arbitrary APIs So this is this is known as the oracle problem and it's the inability of of layer one systems to interact with external data Now the significance of this is is rather large The significance of this is is why we are currently Mainly defined as an industry by tokens and we're defined as an industry by tokens because that's effectively what base layer one systems Can do because they have it inherently built in to incentivize mining and therefore allow their you know their base basic existence now The the reality is is that if you look at the the rest of the world and you look at all the digital agreements powering Financial products in in various centralized forms the insurance industry the global trade trade finance industry All of these industries use some form of digital agreement and all of those forms of digital agreement require inputs inputs about what happened relative to the agreements terms so generally speaking we call these events and The the ability for a contract to know about an event is that is the necessary point is a necessary condition for it to be written about that event so Essentially the the the significance of the limitation is with without the ability to interact with events smart contracts Would stay related to tokens which is only a small percentage of what our technology could be about so our industry could Be about financial products insurance global trade if if we're able to solve this problem So historically how our industry has actually evolved is it's gone from a smaller set of capabilities for developers to a larger set of capabilities the first large shift in capabilities was from Bitcoin multi-signature as the only capability that anybody could build around in around 2011 12 and Then in about 14 you had the first app coins as they were called These were protocol smart contracts where you had to bake up smart contract into each protocol Then the protocol smart contracts got switched over to scriptable contracts and scriptable contracts is what Ethereum deserves The vast majority of the credit for they've done a fantastic job of taking our space from these protocol contracts that took months To get launched to scriptable contracts which took days to launch and because they took days to launch We now have all these people launching massive high-value systems based on this capability And as you can see a lot of those systems are pretty much exclusively focused on tokens because at the moment That's what scriptable capabilities allow what we think is that scriptable contracts together with External events is how our space moves into this entirely new stage of usefulness for for developers for Users, you know how we redefine our space to be about Tokens and all the other types of digital agreements that That underpin, you know very important global industries Generally speaking this is the problem that we work on we focus on creating secure blockchain middleware That product is called chain link and it basically focuses on Enabling the ability to get data into Networks like Ethereum get networks like Ethereum to pay in other systems and interact with other environments as well as get them to do cross-chain things We're already live on main net It's all working and and the things that I'm going to be showing to you are live and working unusable by by US developers So generally speaking the I think there's kind of Two two key points in this talk one one key point is how do you define the security of an oracle so that you can rely on it to trigger Your contract so that's that's a very important question And then the second question is once you rely on the security of an oracle what can an oracle really do for you, right? like okay, I've arrived at a place where I can can Assess and feel comfortable about the security of these of this oracle mechanism Which effectively makes up the second half of my contract because if my contract is about an event I have a piece of it about on-chain state and I have a piece of it about the event and Both the on-chain state and the off-chain event needs to be properly Guaranteed from a technical point of view in order for the the smart contract to retain its unique property of reliability So these are these are kind of the points I'm going to be speaking about and and elaborating on what what it is that that What makes a secure oracle and what a secure oracle can do to expand what what developers in our space could build? To create all these other various types of usefulness and and invaluable contracts Generally speaking our approach to all of this is the ability to Provide decentralization for the oracle mechanism by having multiple independent node operators validate the accuracy of oracle oracle reports We do this through something called binding service agreements binding service agreements Make an oracle commit to delivering a certain quality of data or computation or a payments outcome and that Commitment is both technically and cryptographically guaranteed and crypto economically guaranteed through things like staking The ability for all the binding service agreements that an oracle a Generates to be aggregated into a picture of that oracles overall reliability the application of something called defense in depth where we layer on multiple security approaches on top of these centralization such as trusted execution environments and zero knowledge proofs and The fact that we do this with a large open-source community made up of some of the best academic researchers The best some of the best security auditors and in a large and growing group of developers that are excited about Enabling this world of smart contracts beyond tokenization So it's usually useful to look at the problem we're solving that the specific problem we're solving is the problem of centralization and the capacity for an oracle to fail because it's been it's been It's been it's been made unreliable by being attacked as a single point of failure Generally speaking that the way to approach this is through the centralization Just like the contract is secured through multiple node operators validating the the inputs and the Validating the transactions that the that the block in the contract is made up of we have multiple oracles Validating that an input is is indeed correctly validated and secure and reliable enough to trigger large amounts of value This is partly guaranteed by service agreements service agreements are not legal documents They are on-chain Commitments that are cryptographically and technically enforced to guarantee that an oracle does deliver data and that if an oracle doesn't deliver data There's there's immediate and inescapable Penalties both to their their long-term usefulness for other users and immediate loss of of stake and and and other negative factors Generally speaking We see a world where just like you have right now extreme decentralization in Ethereum You should be able to have whatever degree of decentralization You'd like to have from the oracle mechanism and also that will probably lead to decentralization at the data source level Such that you know the highest value hundreds of millions of dollar contracts You already see them thinking about all these things in more detail and you see them wondering Why do I think an oracle is secure? How do I know that this data source won't be compromised? How do I protect myself from a data source being compromised? How do I protect myself from an oracle being compromised? These are the problems that our space is gonna have to have an answer to if we want to if we wanted to move into this realm of events Driven contracts, so that's that's the very large focus that that that we have is solving the problem of how do you? reliably provide guarantees that Your events driven contract can have a billion dollars put into it and can be considered reliable reliable reliable enough to move that million billion hundred million billion dollars in a matter of seconds which is the real you know promise and value of our space so generally speaking the way this looks in practice is You know service agreements are made up of something called jobs jobs are basically function as a service blocks of predefined computations That a node operator lists themselves as opting in to do you Interact with them as on a service agreement they commit to do this computation for you in this case the retrieval of price You select from a multitude of nodes We have I think approaching 70 high-quality nodes now And I think a quarter of them are security reviewed in a two-week process with a security interview at the end Both creating civil resistance and an overview of their security infrastructure, which we then present to users as well and Generally speaking the goal is well that this goal right what I what I showing you here has been achieved you if you want to Compose a reliable oracle network with multiple independent parties running that network and multiple independent data sources Feeding your decentralized finance contract reliable data. You can this is this has now been achieved on mainnet It's been live for you know a number of months now without without any security issues Likewise if you wanted to compose something like smart Smart contract a smart contract for crop insurance the crop insurance Would would learn about weather it would aggregate data about weather and it would then Arrive at at a conclusion for that for that outcome And then also through through the set of oracles that we have be able to execute payments So it would be able to ingest inputs put outputs And you know these are the previous defi example in this example are what we're really trying to get the space to So that just just like you could write a token in a day You should be able to compose a high-quality externally connected contract in a day Generally speaking what what all of this usage does and and this is one of the important nuances of how you would evaluate an oracle is It generates a lot of data. It generates massive amounts of data Just like you have block explorers for Ethereum contracts We have even more detailed block explorers for Chainlink oracle reports that define exactly what somebody did what they committed to do and whether they met the previous commitment You can you can find all this in a multitude of resources and I'll show you how to do that at the end of the talk for For a set of oracles oracle networks that we call reference data networks So generally speaking the part of the goal here is how do I as a user? Effectively assess a node operator that I can then compose into greater and greater networks and Such that if the value of my contract grows I can compose greater and greater collections of node operators We enable this by floating Approvable information about their infrastructure how how how they've been able to successfully fulfill their commitments and also what specific Infrastructure they run on and also the capabilities they can give you through that infrastructure So so that's the thing that we've actually been seeing quite a bit of Since since launching on mainnet we've been seeing quite a lot of Adoption and and and additional usage not only in data delivery But in the ability for a chain link to connect smart contracts to all the different You know function as a service systems all the different computational environments other other than other than blockchains Which which gives smart contracts the capacity to securely use huge huge amounts of computing resources This is for example a diagram we released In in a post with Google describing how a theoretical architecture would look in in the case of using Google Cloud's platform for one of their specific core services like BigQuery and Here here at DevCon. There's been released by by one of our users foam You know great group of folks basically building An incentive service a service to generate valuable location data using token incentives and and here's how that architecture looks so just like You know just like we started out with data and we've started to enable a lot of define a lot of simpler on-chain contracts with data the next stage in in all of this is actually Expanding the definition of an oracle beyond just Something that provides data, but something that actually provides access secure and provably secure access to all the different computational resources Available outside of blockchains This includes random number generators It includes all the resources in cloud providers all the great pre-made services and functions as a service that you would want to use and the capacity to validate and prove that those computations were correctly executed on one service or even across across different services So I think the interesting thing that we've seen is the capacity to move beyond data and into data plus computation such that chain link becomes an off-chain resource that Developers can go to to compose whatever interactions they need to compose around their contract in in The world of all of all the already existing high quality Off-chain computation that's out there Another example of this is our recent announcement at the start of this conference about how chain link enables Ethereum contracts to use Intel's trusted computing framework So Intel has spent a lot of time and effort and we've been working with them to generate a good trusted computing framework that implements trusted execution environments as As something that can be used in layer two systems and the capacity to use layer two systems that use trusted execution environments as as an off-chain computational resource that provides a highly highly reliable highly scalable private computations while keeping a contract on chain is is right now due to the current limitations of on-chain contracts probably the way people are Going to build high-throughput high-value applications that still have access to public network value Right so on the on the one hand We want applications that exist in large public networks like Ethereum that have access to that to the user set to the network effect Kind of value that that that network has a crude But at the same time we want a lot of functionality because we want to build more and more complex more and more valuable and useful contracts and the middle ground seems to be The capacity for a developer to use an off-chain computation environment to interact with all the different computations They need and then to prove back on chain that those computations that they performed were properly performed that the data was properly delivered for those computations and that that computation can form a reliable part of that contract So that's that's kind of the the the expansion of of what we're starting to define chain link as What what a lot of this leads to is it leads us to a world where across environments we have chain link node operators that are servicing various different chains and They're accruing usage and that usage in various different environments is once again another source of proof It's a source of proof that there's you know, five d5 applications to insurance applications You know five gaming applications using this node operator And this node operator is able to successfully deliver data and randomness and and various types of data to these users and That provides even greater surety So as a system like ours gets used you you start to accrue a lot more data about each individual node operator And that accrual of data provides even greater assurances So there there's kind of a a network effect from usage that allows people to Continually define greater degrees of their security and guarantees for users Now one of the things that we've been using You know one of one of the Oracle networks that we've composed for the use of the ecosystem are these reference price reference data networks Price reference data networks basically put data on chain They put data on chain for use mainly by d5 projects and right now price reference data networks Like like the one I'm showing here powers all of decentralized finance Well, except if somebody made a centralized Oracle and you took a big risk on that, but that's that's their decision Which I don't really advise So these price reference data networks that we've already made right now have grown to be the largest most secure most civil resistant We can definitively say that because we have the most node operators for example in this network with ethiosd price We have 17 and we're far ahead of schedule to reach the targeted 21 We have multiple high quality data aggregator sources so not original exchanges but data aggregators that take on the burden of making sure that data is correct and It's a civil resistant network because we validated these node operators over the course of a two-week process and a final security interview And it's also You know security reviewed in many other forms like the ways that I showed you so even the node operators I showed you in the previous slide with all that detail are the ones that are powering a network like this So these reference data networks are actually very important as you can see you can dig into them We encourage you to go and and and look at them You can once again see exactly what they're doing and and this level of clarity is supposed to provide users a guarantee that the reference data On this network is reliable enough to trigger their hundreds of millions of dollars in value Whereas any other type of reference data network or some centralized Oracle wouldn't have any of this information You wouldn't have any guarantees that this Oracle is committed to or has successfully performed its obligations previously We've we've had so much success so far doing this and it's it's been done so securely over the past number of months That we've were basically committing to expand the amount of reference data networks These are the next seven reference data networks that we're going to be launching Bitcoin die USDC 0x rep WBTC and bat prices these prices and and feeds were chosen based on the needs of our users and customers They're meant to service Systems like compound Partially synthetics partially other systems that are going to be building their contracts and securing their value using these reference data networks These reference data networks are once again. I mean they're provided free by us if somebody wants to add security to them We're going to be releasing information about how somebody could take a reference data network with you know Five or seven oracles and how they can add more oracles to that reference data network in case they start using it And they want to add more security on top of the initial security we paid for But we're we're very excited to be giving back to the community because the Ethereum community has done a huge amount for us and We're we think that the capacity to have high quality data on chain and to make it extremely usable and reliable is One of the key things that were kickstart DeFi And so right now we're committing to put these seven networks out because we know they're going to successfully service you know existing users and customers and Beyond that we plan to launch many more In that vein if you if you have a DeFi project if you have a need for a reference data price on chain We we want to support you and our goal as a company is actually to make our users succeed By giving them access to this reliable data So our chain link is basically here to enable a smart contract developers to build any kind of externally connected or next-generation contract And if that's what you're doing You know, we're very collaborative very helpful people We have a huge integration engineer and support engineering staff that that that is there to help you build these contracts and Likewise even make a great reference data network Possibly even even starting out for your use case, but then getting used by other other DeFi projects as well So, thank you. Thank you very much, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all at the conference. Thank you


Hi, I'm David Cantor with the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor and welcome to my blog. Today's topic has to do with the former Chief Deputy of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, Dave Hendershot, who was fired by Sheriff Joe after an investigation was conducted by Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babot and some private investigators. Now, as you may recall, this investigation was launched because of a memo done by Commander Frank Monell in 2010 describing all the problems with the Sheriff's Office. Well, that may be old news. Here's what's new news. Hendershot has now filed a $7 million notice of claim against the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. That means he's seeking $7 million stating he was defamed and that he was falsely terminated. I find this to be incredibly disingenuous. First of all, lots of future earnings. This guy was already double-dipping and he was a mere years away from retirement. He was already close. And pain and suffering, please. After all the pain and suffering this guy unleashed on Maricopa County, not only on his co-workers but on other people, on people he went after who were political foes of Sheriff Joe, I have no sympathy for this guy at all. I personally hope he spends a lot of money in attorney's fees, recovers nothing. But hey, that's just what I think. Tell me what you think.


What's behind the US Supreme Court banning abortion rights? We'll tell you in this video. Yesterday, in a disturbing move the United States Supreme Court ruled to overturn the historic Roe v. Wade decision of 1973, robbing women of the right to abortion. This ruling was part of a case challenging a Mississippi law that banned abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, with no exception for rape and incest. 26 states in the US could ban abortions in the coming months. These laws will affect poor and marginalized women the most, as abortion clinics will be shut down. Something terrible has happened in our state and something terrible has happened in this country. This is despite the fact that over 70% of people are posed over turning Roe v. Wade. But this did not seem to matter for the judges who are appointed for lifetime terms and who are political appointees. The ruling is a result of decades of right-wing organizing and the failure of Democrats to protect abortion rights. Massive protests are taking place in the US against the decision.


Russell Westbrook, who is best known as the professional star basketball player for the Washington Wizards of the NBA, has been able to snag some pretty luxurious real estate. His homes include a pair of former Diggs and Edmund Oklahoma, during this time with the Oklahoma City Thunder, and a lavish home in stunning Beverly Hills. When Westbrook entered the league, he purchased the Edmund home and 11 years later, the eight-time All-Star listed the modest starter home for only $429,000. Prior to joining the Houston Rockets, Westbrook also listed his larger Oklahoma mansion for $1.7 million. Russell has recently sold his Beverly Hills mansion, which he originally put on the market for $6 million and having to lower the price to $5.3 million six months later. We'll take a look at the former homes of Russell Westbrook, including his most recent sale of a 4,000-square-foot mansion that boasted five bedrooms and six bathrooms. I should probably mention that this home came complete with a pool, spa, and lounging area, with easy access to a wet bar. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a house tour you don't want to miss.

The nine-time NBA All-Star has had quite the lucrative career as he garnered a net worth of $170 million. The salary is well-deserved as in 2017, Russell was named the NBA's most valuable player and he has been the NBA All-Star eight times and NBA All-Star game MVP twice. He was chosen for the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2009 and the All-MBA First Team in 2016 and 17 and he was the NBA's assist leader in 2018 and 19 and the NBA's scoring champion in 2015 and 17. Not too shabby. Along with his $41 million salary and endorsements, Westbrook is one of the highest-paid celebrities in the world. Back in 2016, after teammate Kevin Durant left the team, the Thunder won to ensure that they wouldn't lose Russell as well, so they offered him a three-year $85 million contract extension in 2016. While that seems like a lot of cake, that was a chicken scratch compared to his new deal. The new year 2017 was definitely the year of Russell Westbrook. In September 2017, Westbrook signed both the largest contract in Jordan Brand history, making a 10-year deal worth a reported $150 to $200 million and also an NBA history five-year $205 million extension. Westbrook earned $53 million between June 2018 and June 2019 from salary and endorsements, so with that, Russell is halfway to becoming a billionaire. That's crazy. In 2015, Russell purchased reality star Scott Disick's home in the Beverly's Crest area of Los Angeles for $4.6 million. He put it on the market for $6 million in June 2019 and lowered the asking price to $5.3 million six months later. Westbrook prayed $19.7 million for a mansion in Bretwood, however, there is not a lot of information about this home. He also owned homes in Oklahoma, a three-bedroom house that he sold for $426,000 in March 2020 and an 8,300-square-foot mansion that he listed for $1.7 million in November 2019.

Let's get into the video. What was interesting about Westbrook was that while he was making bank from salary and endorsements, his starter home was actually quite modest. The 3,000-square-foot home boasted three bedrooms and three bathrooms and purchased in 2008 for $383,000 just months after joining the Oklahoma City Thunder and was eventually sold in 2020 for $429,000. Boasting an updated interior, the traditional style home features an open layout and comes complete with a trendy neutral color scheme throughout after undergoing a series of renovations. Both the kitchen and bathrooms have been remodeled to include quartz conatops and are decked out with marble countertops. The living room is lined with large windows that give the room life and the kitchen comes with its very own breakfast note. Adjoining the kitchen is a family room which both opens out to the backyard. Additionally, the kitchen opens to the large family room with views of the luxe pool. However modest, the backyard was built for entertaining as the quarter acre of land features a pool with waterfall and outdoor grill and fire pit. And of course, a couple of basketball hoops encase Russell wanted to work on his jump shot, which he probably should. As Russell's salaries and endorsements increased, so did his real estate portfolios. He snagged a larger Oklahoma mansion in 2012 for $1.9 million. Russell recently listed the house for $1.7 million as the home features 8,300-square-feet and boasts five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms. In a suburban area outside of Oklahoma City, the 1.4-acre spread includes a luxe pool and its very own putting green. Not a big deal.  The family room features a cozy fireplace and abundance oversized window, which gives the room an airy and roomy ambiance and access to the outdoor terrace. Built in 2007 and recently renovated, the home features an open kitchen with two stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, islands perfectly placed, a sub-zero fridge and freezer, and a walk-in pantry. Just great for those post-game meals. Russell has two offices with beautiful hardwood flooring, elegant wooden cabinets, and more oversized windows. We're willing to bet that Russell has signed an endorsement deal or two right in that room. Joining the kitchen is a living and dining space with yet another fireplace. On the main level, you'll also find two master bedrooms and a guest bedroom.  For those that want to work hard and play hard can do so in the second study room located upstairs or lift a few weights in Russell's exercise room. Other lux amenities include a home theater decked out with cozy leather seating and yes, they do come with drink holders. In addition, Russell has a punting range for those that want to work on their short game, which just steps away from the pool and spa that comes complete with a wet bar. Like, save some for the rest of us, fam. Like, wow. Probably the most glamorous of Westbrook's real estate portfolio was its 2015 purchase in Beverly Hills, California. The home was snagged from reality star Scott Disick and has since been put on the market for $6 million. Eventually, Westbrook had decided to lower the asking price for $5.3 million just six months later. The sleek modern custom gated home features 4,000 square feet and boast five bedrooms and six bathrooms. Located at the top of Summit Ridge Drive adjacent to Beverly Park, the home was designed around the art of entertaining as it is set on a private street. This newer built home features a flawless open floor plan with floor to ceiling walls of glass to showcase canyon and city views and give the room an area of roomy ambiance. Essentially, every room is decked out with lux fireplace and a combination of elegant paintings and unique antiques. Those lucky enough to visit can be entertained in style from the open kitchen that is anchored by an oversized island with a cascading stone countertop. In addition, the kitchen features a built-in cappuccino maker and side-by-size oversized stainless steel fridge and freezer. Perfect for relaxation, the formal dining area and large living room are all framed into capturing the stunning tranquil views of the city and canyons. The lavish abode includes a spacious private master suite, the private balcony boasting even more breathtaking views. Steps away, the suite features a spa-like bathroom lined with Carrera marble and a walking closet big enough to be another room. The resort-like backyard features manicured grounds, carefully trimmed grass and a sparkling pool with a lounge area decked out with lux furnishings. Steps away, guests can find a spa that comes complete with its very own wet bar, just perfect for soaking in the California sun. All right, so I think I'll bring this house to an end here. We got to take a quick look at Russell Westbrook's home and that massive, massive house in Beverly Hills with that lux outdoor lounging area. After seeing that fancy little housey snag, what do you guys think? Was it everything you would expect out of Russell Westbrook? Personally, I was a huge fan of that second house in Oklahoma.
