Good morning from Geneva. Mr. Prime Minister, a warm welcome to the Devil's Agenda Week 2022. We are really honored to have you with us in your inaugural participation with the World Economic Forum, and we look very much forward to your special address. We are particularly keen on hearing from you since you have been successful in forging a stable coalition between parties of diverse backgrounds, even including an Arab party for the first time in Israel. Additionally, as a further testament to your ability to unite diverse Israeli political system last November, your government passed the first state budget I was told in three and a half years. Mr. Prime Minister, your government faces a range of national and international challenges, including the ongoing pandemic and of course the unresolved status of Israel's relationship with the Palestinians. But there are also a range of opportunities from the phenomenal growth of the Israeli economy to the growing cross-regional trade and investment as a result of the peace agreement between Israel and the group of Arab countries. Therefore, it is with particular interest and the national community wants to hear about your government's priorities going forward. And it is my great pleasure to give you the floor for your special address. Mr. Prime Minister. Well, thank you very much, Morgan. Indeed, these are exciting times in Israel. Israel is finally on a very good and powerful path. As you mentioned, we formed the most diverse government in Israel's history with religious and secular, right and left together, an Arab party together with the Jewish parties in this coalition, eight different parties. And it's sort of like a juggle act, but it's working. We are moving forward. Our growth is phenomenal. We're at the 7% GDP growth right now. Our high tech is booming. Perhaps never has it been as strong as it is. And to begin with, for the startup nation, it's a good direction. And by and large, we are managing through the COVID waves. I landed right into the Delta wave. And my goal was to keep Israel open while keeping Israeli safe. And now, same goes with the Omicron. So we've adopted some unique methodologies here in Israel that I'd love to share later on. And of course, the most exciting part is the regional relationships that we've been forming for the past few years. My predecessor formed the Abraham Accords with Bahrain, with the Emirates. I'm a huge believer in these sort of bridges. So the bottom line is Israel is headed on a very robust and positive direction. I think as you also mentioned, Israel is now in the middle also of the Omicron crisis. You also have thousands of cases every day. I think even more than 40,000 on average. So despite this high number of cases, I think the Israeli economy, as you mentioned, is also fueled by sprawling technology sector. And you are one that has been successful in that sector yourself. And I think the economy is now growing with more than 7%. So how do you see Omicron impacting the outlook for your country's economy? And also, how are you planning to deal with the next steps? Are we now moving from a pandemic to something becoming more endemic? Well, as you're becoming more endemic. Well, as you suggested, I'll address the two parts of the question. First of all, how does one fight the Omicron or COVID wave, and I think all the leaders of the world are facing it? What I can share is what we've been doing here. I took upon myself, I landed running, if you will, right into the wave of Delta, which we were among the first to face. My format in methodology is A, I personally run the national COVID task force as prime minister. So every day at 9am, I have an hour with all the agencies and all the ministries that are relevant. I believe this is a fairly unique model. But I do this because I think that leaders can make much quicker decisions. And in a pandemic, being slow is losing. So you're better off making decisions early on and quick and executing upon them very quickly. The second reason that I felt that it's important that I personally run the national COVID task force is because pandemics are not only about medicine or biology, they're about society, the economy, the education, logistics, math, you name it. So it's a cross-discipline challenge. And therefore you can't silo it and hand over the keys to running a government in a nation under a pandemic. You can't outsource that only to doctors because at the end of the day, there's balance between economy, education, and the pandemic-related issues. I found this very effective. So during the past seven months, which I've been around, we've shifted our approach. Before I came in, the approach was major lockdowns. My approach is I'm against lockdowns as far as we can. I've not even had one day of lockdown or closing down schools during my tenure. What do we do? We always want to be at the forefront of the medicine and the vaccines. I was the first world leader to go ahead with the third booster dose. That was back in the end of July. And later on, the rest of the world followed us. We have very advanced research. So we want to be the first in the world to know how vaccines and new variants respond one to another. And that's what we're doing. Secondly is just to get actions done, to get things done from policy to actual execution. So I believe Israel now is one of the leading testers per capita. We have about almost 5% of our population is tested every day right now. That's a huge number. 450,000 people go through a test every day. And that's why the case numbers are so high. Not because necessarily so many people are infected, simply because we test more. By doing these tests, we can isolate folks and slow down the pace of the infection. Now, in terms of the opportunities, I think there's some huge opportunities here, direct and indirect. Direct opportunities are in the area of fusing information technology with pandemics and medicine. The pandemic is all about data information and gleaming insights from that data. And for example, I was the first during the Omicron wave to shut the skies for a while. For a few weeks, I did that. I wanted to buy time and see what's happening in other countries. And then using their data, be able to form the correct policy. Now that we know that the Omicron is much less lethal than its predecessors, we developed a strategy that acknowledges that and allows Israel to continue operating, albeit at a lower pace for a few weeks. So I see one big area, diffusion of information technology and data and medical data in order to glean actionable insights. The second area I see is way beyond medicine. The world is going remote. This sort of event, having the Davos summit through the internet, was unheard of a few years ago, and now it's almost natural. That means that the world is going to depend more and more on remote working. This provides a huge opportunity for Israel, which we've sort of exhausted most of our talent to foreign employees from Eastern Europe, from India in our companies, to a much easier extent. And finally, it means that the world, as the world becomes more dependent on remote methodology, it means that we're also going to be more vulnerable to cyber attacks, which means we need good cyber defense. And Israel has massively invested in cyber defense technologies. And I believe roughly half or almost half of the global investments in cyber companies over the past few years have been in Israel. So Israel has become a powerhouse in cyber defense. I see a bunch of opportunities and we intend to seize them. Thank you. You also, Prime Minister, mentioned the Abraham Accords. I looked at the numbers on trade between Israel and UAE, and it has skyrocketed in a year's time. Where do you see these Abrams Accords moving? Are there additional Arab countries going to join? And who do you see the economic potential? Well, first of all, my approach is to build bridges. Build bridges in the region. And I think we've been doing that for the past few years. We have a common foe in the region, and that's Iran. We need the reasonable-minded countries that want to fight extreme Islam collaborating. And I think more and more regional partners are coming to see Israel as an anchor of stability in a very tumultuous region, and not only in the security sense, but also in economy. So the short answer is absolutely yes. One of the first things I did as Prime Minister was go out and meet King Abdullah and strengthen and warm the relationships after a few years of sour relationships between Jordan and Israel. Likewise, I went out to meet President Sisi. These are two very impressive leaders of countries that face their own challenges. And I noticed that the trade with Egypt is piney. And what I want to do is inject more content into these relationships that we have. At the same time, I met Mbz, a very impressive guy who went through a very tough week this week. But he is a visionary that wants to build a good future for his people. And so we want more countries to join the Abraham Accords, and we want to inject more content mostly in technology, but not only technology-related areas. I view the UAE sort of a gate to the east. And I see Africa as a big potential partner with Israel where we're located. We're on the very connection between Africa and Asia and Europe. So we're located in a very interesting location. Indeed. And in the recent months, you have even announced on several occasions that you intend to improve the economic security and humanitarian conditions of the Palestinian people. For example, your foreign minister, Mr. Lapid, has announced that there will be a new plan for Gaza that entails also increasing investments in return for security. As another example, I also saw that President Abbas has held talks with your defense minister, Benny Gantz, last December. So could you tell us how these initiatives and overtures translate into concrete terms of furthering peace between Ramallah and Jerusalem Tel Aviv? Well, we've actually done a bunch of actions already on the ground. I'm a big believer in getting things done, not only talking about it in corridors. So one of the first things I did as prime minister was open Gaza for Gaza employees to work in Israel. Many years, they've not. And now we're talking already about 10,000. I'm looking out a decision to potentially expand this. Likewise, in Judea and Samaria or the PA, we have tens of thousands of Palestinians that every day come into Israel and work and make a good living for their families. And I'm increasing that because we have a very big gap in GDP between our GDP and the PA and certainly Gaza. So it's a win-win for everyone. So my first policy is to improve the quality of lives of everyone here, whether in Gaza or Judea and Samaria or Israel itself. And I believe that through business, through economy, through jobs, it's the most sustainable way to bring stability. I'm promoting and support industrial zones, joint industrial zones, Palestinian Israelis, allowing Palestinians to work in the very advanced Israeli high-tech sector, increasing trade between Jordan and the PA. So basically, my approach is all in on economy. At the same time, though, we have to be cognizant of the fact that there's always meaningful terror threat from the Palestinians to Israel. We've seen it time and again. Even in the past few weeks, we've had some terror events. So I want to be very clear about that. I will not do anything that could hinder or threaten Israel's security or weaken our ability to defend ourselves by ourselves. Ultimately, the Palestinians have a big choice to make, whether they want to go down the path of terror or the path of peace and prosperity. Ultimately, that's their choice to make. I just want them to know that we here are very positive about prosperity and people-to-people peace. Prime Minister, you already mentioned that UAE has had a tough week. And that's also due to the attacks from the Houthis. We know at the same time that there is a growing optimism in certain quarters of the international community that Iran nuclear negotiations will progress in a positive direction and lead to an agreement. And how do you look at the prospects and what would be an acceptable deal with Iran from the international community seen from your side, a kind of revised JSPOA? Well, first we need to understand what Iran's position is in the Middle East. Iran is an octopus of terror and instability. Their head is in Tehran and they send their arms all across the Middle East and get involved in Lebanon with Hezbollah in Iraq, in Syria, in Yemen with their Houthis. And they sort of have anti-Midus touch. Every country they get involved with fails. Look at Lebanon now falling apart. Look at Syria. Look at Yemen. And they have a modus operandi, a very clever one, where they sort of drive out terror but through their proxies. So they lay back supine in Tehran, sort of remote from the terror that they're conducting. And they send others, their messengers to conduct terror. We've seen it in Israel with Hezbollah, with Islamic jihad, with Iranian militias in Syria. How very comfortable is it for the mullahs in Tehran to cause despair? And I think we see a very similar situation with the Houthis. Who stands behind them? It's Iran. Who funds them? Iran. Who provides them the weaponry? Iran. Who directs them what to do? Iran. So I think the first thing is for the decent countries, the free world, to call Iran on what it's doing. They are the source of terror in the Middle East. And we have to fight back. The last thing you want to do with this sort of octopus is pour tens of billions of dollars into this apparatus. Because what will you get? You'll get terror on steroids. Everything we're seeing will be doubled and tripled because they'll be much stronger. I want to point out something. Iran, while it has this very image of a powerhouse, in fact, Iran is way more vulnerable than one would think. Their economy is tanking. The real is depreciating. They are so incompetent that they're not able to get water to faucets in huge swaths of land, for example, Isfahan area. There's many, many Iranians that when they try and turn on the faucet, nothing comes out because of their regimes incompetence. We're seeing massive demonstrations of teachers, of judges, of pensioners in Iran. So it's a corrupt and failed regime. What we need is to stand strong until Iran goes through an agreement, but there's only one agreement. And that agreement, they call it longer and stronger, it means effectively that Iran has to give up its nuclear weapon program. Why would anyone legitimize their right to enrich uranium at massive capacity? They are now enriching uranium at 60% grade in these huge factories of uranium enrichment. Why are they doing it? You don't need 60% uranium for anything but a nuclear weapon in those amounts. We in Israel have the archive of their weapon program. So these guys are trying to develop a nuclear weapon. I don't see any rationale why it makes sense for the free world to sign a deal with them that would give them money and at the same time allow them to continue. I'll just leave you with one last comment. I'm a businessman. I came to age as a businessman in high tech, etc. I would say that investing in Iran is not a sound investment, whether there's a deal or not a deal. Thank you. From Iran maybe to climate change. I think your government has placed climate change as a top priority issue. And indeed you have also committed to reach net zero by 2050. Leasing Israel on an equal footing with the vast majority of developed economies. So with also your technology background, what is your vision for Israel's climate contribution? How much can be sold by new technology breakthroughs? And how much has to come with more traditional mitigation? So I think that's a great question. Indeed, what I did was put Israel on equal footing with the rest of the most of the developed countries in the world. And we took upon ourselves the commitment to reach zero net emissions by 2050. That's important, but that in itself is not that meaningful because Israel is a small country with a small carbon footprint. Where can we really move the needle? Our unique tool is our innovation. And I want to be very clear here. In order for the world to meet the 2050 net zero emission goal, we need technologies that do not exist yet. We need inventions that do not exist yet. And this is not me saying this. This is Bill Gates and anyone who looks at the picture as it is. So just by adopting better measures in our countries, it's important, but that will not go the whole distance. And Israel is perfectly placed to do this. Israel is very strong on everything that has to do with water. For a simple reason, we don't have much water in Israel. The Jews came back here about 150 years ago, but we came back home. But this home was the arid, was waterless. So we had to generate water. We have to conserve water, recycle water. Israel generates, I believe, the highest amount of water per capita in the world with desalination plants. We recycle wastewater and then use it for agriculture. And these technologies are one very important area that I intend Israel to grow. Other areas are energy related, alternative food, especially alternative meat, which we all know that the meat industry is a big cause of carbon in that atmosphere. And so we're focused on that. And here's my call. My call is actually internally to roughly 5,000 Israelis that were high-tech entrepreneurs. They already did their exit. They're already millionaires. They're good to go. I'm calling upon these young men and women now that you're set personally. Why don't you take your innovation and the energy and go found new companies in the fields of climate mitigation and climate adaptation? Because it's happening and climate change is real. And that would be much more meaningful than just another round and some internet company. I'm saying this as someone who's done a few exits myself. At the end of the day, we want to, you know, these young folks want to leave a real mark on the world, on the place we live in and make it more meaningful than just making some money. And I'm very optimistic here as well. No, thank you so much. We cannot end this session with also having a voice from your new partners in the accord, the Abram Accords. And we're very pleased that Halid Humaydon from the Bahrain Economic Development Board is with us. Hello, Halid. Good to see you. I go to you in Manama to raise a question to the Prime Minister. And thank you for joining us. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for your insightful remarks. I'd like to thank our partners, the World Economic Forum, for giving me this opportunity. Clearly, the pandemic has reminded us all the importance of healthcare. During the pandemic, both the Kingdom of Bahrain and the state of Israel successfully managed to contain the health impact. And we did that by leading the world in the vaccination drive. Our early results helped guide the vaccination policies of other countries. In your opinion, sir, what needs to be done better to coordinate our efforts to develop the healthcare sector further? Thank you. Very good to have you here. And indeed, again, I want to thank the World Economic Forum. I think one of the key aspects that are necessary that everyone learned from these pandemics is to have a robust national database of health of our citizens. Obviously, it could be anonymized. But there is so much insight to glean from having the basic information. We in Israel are fortunate that my predecessors decades ago formed a very robust national healthcare system with good databases. So then you can sort of cross-tab and see how different medicines work differently for people with different background situations. So that's the one thing. The second thing is we need to form an ongoing agency vis-à-vis pandemics. I think every government now realizes that even if COVID goes away, we may be entering an era of global pandemics that are much more challenging than a global pandemic a century or two ago in the sense that it just goes on and on because of the rapid movement of people. It turns out you can't stop people from moving around. And I think that's the second thing. The third thing we've developed in Israel, what I call the variant radar. So we have a group of people that are on an ongoing basis looking across the world at data and calling up other countries to get the raw data to glean information. Is there a new variant? And how should we address it? That's the reason that Israel was so fast to react on the Omicron. We reacted even before Omicron got its name. It was called some long number or letters and numbers five or six weeks ago. So I think if we have a good radar that's getting intelligence, we have a good decision-making process that can make quick decisions and act upon them while sitting or leaning on a robust database and working together, I think we can beat this thing. Thank you so much, Prime Minister Vanne. This has been a great pleasure. I know that our viewers also appreciated your concrete answers and your vision. And we really are looking forward to also being able to welcome you to the physical that was hopefully very soon. So thank you so much for joining us. I'll be sure to come. I want to thank you very much for this opportunity and the World Economic Forum and everyone who's joined in. Israel is open for business. Israel is building bridges across the world with new friends. And we want to do good stuff together. Thank you very much. Thank you, Prime Minister. Bye-bye.


Great, hi everyone. So I'll fill in my title, it's a bit long, so I run a number of services at AWS, I run Amazon Elastic Search Service, Amazon Elastic Cache which is Redis and Memcache as a service, and Amazon Neptune which is our new graph database. Today I'm going to talk about Open Source. Oops, as was mentioned before, I've been in Open Source for I think it's over 22 years, started to contribute in 1997. Main body of work was around PHP but also contributed to lots of frameworks, development tools, probably the contribution that I think is kind of the coolest that no one knows is I was actually one of the people who wrote the tab completion and the MySQL client. So if you ever used MySQL and used the command line client and had this really awesome command line tab completion that happened I think in 1998 and we were trying to test PHP with MySQL and it was really frustrating that we had to retype the select statements every single time and guess the table names and that was kind of a legacy that no one actually knows out. So today I'll talk a bit about Open Source at AWS and then I'll talk about how we think about it and how we think about keeping it open. So first of all, very important to state, we're a very, very customer obsessed company. When we innovate and when we do work, we don't look at our competition. We don't think of, you know, what's the coolest next technology and we definitely don't think of our short-term results. We have a saying at Amazon where really our goal is to build relationships with our customers that outlast any of us as individuals. So when we're making decisions, we're making decisions that really are thinking about the long-term and if you're not thinking about the long-term benefit for customers at Amazon, you basically don't get to make any decisions. And that's also how we think about Open Source and our customers really, really love Open Source. I mean, Open Source is what they run on AWS. And so a lot of the innovation that we're driving in Open Source comes directly from customer feedback. And sometimes we innovate by contributing to customer projects like Netflix's Spinnaker project. Sometimes we open source our own projects like Firecracker that we just open sourced. And in many cases, we go and contribute to open source that our customers use. We also use a lot of open source to build a platform. And, you know, what we see is we see a lot of our internal teams sometimes for just selfish reasons, not wanting to, you know, maintain technical debt. They want to make sure that all that code goes back upstream. And we actually have a very, very easy way for developers in our teams to contribute to Open Source. So that's sometimes a bit of a misnomer about Amazon, but it's actually quite easy to contribute to Open Source. We also care a lot about the communities because I think community is really what creates longevity for Open Source. Without community, Open Source really isn't existence.  You know, it's really fast to really easy to fix a customer problem in the cloud by using the control plane and doing something very fast, kind of a quick and dirty fix. But when you have to bring that code upstream, it gets reviewed by a lot more folks, security, right? There's a lot more scrutiny around the security. And so there's a lot of benefit, I think, in engaging in Open Source. So those are all things that are basically driving us towards doing more Open Source. We contribute to a lot of different projects. I basically, I had a tag cloud up here initially with kind of all the projects we contribute to, but it was a pretty ugly slide, so I just picked out a few projects. But you know, we're contributing to SED. We're contributing to Java, Nginx, Lucene, just a bunch of projects out there. And contributions from Amazon are definitely accelerating. We put a big focus also on keeping communities healthy. And actually, our Open Source team, a lot of them are in the crowd right now. That team is just growing every single year by quite a lot. And the core focus of that team is ready to make sure we make the investments also in keeping the communities open and keeping them, you know, keeping them energetic. So whether it's Linux Foundation, we just became a Platinum sponsor in the Patchy Software Foundation. We support the OSI. We sponsor a lot of conference. So OSCON, KubeCon. We're doing RedisCon next month. And then we also publish a lot in social media. We have our own Twitter handle in the Open Source group. We have about 20%. 20% of the content that we create is actually from guest posts. So it's from folks from outside of Amazon who are basically, you know, working with us to really make sure we get the Open Source message out. I was trying to, I was going to talk a bit about, you know, what are the different kinds of Open Source. And I felt that if I kind of really, well, you know, became very accurate, we would never get out of here. So this is a big oversimplification of Open Source. But I kind of simplified it into four buckets. You have individual authors, which was kind of me in 1997, where I thought it was really cool to kind of work in a language and, you know, worked with a partner of mine and started to, you know, work on that before the term Open Source was actually not coined at the time. So we didn't have a thing called Open Source. We didn't have a thing called GitHub. We just kind of started to work on this, you know, source code available stuff. Enterprise-driven Open Source. So things like, you know, Netflix projects. We just, you know, we just contributed Firecracker.  And then you also have the commercial OSS vendors, which Joseph talked about in the Valley creation there. And what's kind of interesting is that, you know, products actually move from one to another, right? Like Kafka started at LinkedIn, you know, was Open Source into the Apache Software Foundation. And then later on, also a commercial entity was built. Redis started from an individual, was then sponsored by VMware and Pivotal. So it kind of became an enterprise-driven project and then became a commercial-driven. So it actually gets very hard to categorize Open Source projects in any single bucket over time, because, you know, communities are vibrant and things change. But I think one thing that I'm here to talk about is there's been a lot of, you know, I'd say conversation from very few around how Open Source is having issues with kind of the new world and how that's kind of making it harder for Open Source to thrive. I think it's exactly the opposite. I mean, I can't remember a time where Open Source has been this vibrant. You know, when I started my company on Open Source back, I think it was in 2000, we went to enterprises and we couldn't even talk about our product value. 80% of the conversation was why Open Source was okay for them to use. Like, they were actually not willing to use Open Source. And then another 15% was why dynamic languages are okay, because dynamic languages were basically like these toy languages, you know, no strict typing, no enterprise application uses dynamic languages. And I kind of got the 5% opportunity to actually try and sell something. And, you know, now we're in an era where every enterprise is using Open Source and they're not just using, they're contributing Open Source, right? Service providers are contributing a lot. And also individuals, right? Individuals are basically building their resumes by going up to GitHub and starting to, you know, create Open Source software. Actually, most of that Open Source software we never hear of, because it's only a select few projects that are actually going mainstream. And even more than that, I don't think, as Joseph, you know, two speakers before me actually pointed out, we've never been in a time where there have been so much, you know, value creation around Open Source also for private companies, right? For 20 years, we're kind of seeking that business model around Open Source. And now where enterprises are adopting Open Source in a strategic way, it's actually becoming, you know, companies are really, really successful at monetizing that. And not monetizing that because they do, you know, make the license changes and so on. Actually, if you look at it, most of those companies actually got into their high growth trajectory in their hockey stick by having a very simple and sound Open Source business model. So how do we think about licensing and, you know, where do we feel at Amazon that, you know, Open Source kind of, you know, needs to stay open and what are some of the things that, you know, we think about? You know, first of all, you know, from our perspective is Open Source should be Open Source and proprietary software should be proprietary. And, you know, Open Source, you know, Open Source gets traction with the promise of community, with the promise of openness, with the promise for the end customer, right, that they have freedom to use that Open Source however they want, and they have the choice if they want to make it, right, to self-maintain in the long term. And so, those fundamental freedoms around Open Source I think are very important, you know, when you actually go out and build an Open Source project and get that broad traction with the project. So, you know, first thing is if you do Open Source, you do Open Source. If you do proprietary, you do proprietary. There's nothing wrong with a proprietary business model. You know, I have proprietary software. When I was building my company, we kept it very clearly separate. We had an Open Source project and we have proprietary. So, keeping that separate, in our opinion, is the right thing to do if you really want to foster a community and make sure that there is kind of a long, you know, you provide longevity to Open Source. The second thing is, you know, really making sure that when you have, you know, proprietary value add, which is a good, you know, is a good model right for many companies and it's absolutely something that, you know, has made companies successful, you know, just be very clear with your customers, you know, what they're paying for, what is Open Source, what they're paying for. So, there's great clarity for customers and what they're getting. The third thing is, you know, one of the core freedoms around Open Source is actually the ability, right, to view the code, to change the code, to distribute the code as long as it kind of adheres to whatever the license allows you to do, you know, making sure that innovation is enabled from our perspective is very, very important. And it's not just about the source code and the licensing, it's about how the project is managed, it's about, you know, a number of other things that basically matter there. And then I would say last but not least, when you put Open Source out there, right, you're making a certain promise, like we actually, you know, back in the day of PHP, we went out with a certain license and we wanted to add a more permissive license and we added that instead, we didn't take away. So, another thing I think is when you make a commitment to a community and to users, you know, make sure that, you know, if you want to, you know, modify your business model, do it in a way that doesn't change the rules on the Open Source in a retroactive manner. So, one I think the most important piece here is, you know, Open Source is a supply chain, right? Everyone is innovating on Open Source and when we think about individuals and organizations and startups that are trying to build awesome products really, really fast, right, they're basically building on Open Source most of the time. And what's cool about Open Source, and I think one of the things that I've always loved about Open Source is, you know, you build a product, right, you can get a bunch of pieces right from Open Source, right, and then really focus on your value add within that ecosystem, right? And, you know, taking an example, I'll talk about some specific pieces in the stack later on, right? Core supply chain pieces that we use today on a day-to-day basis are things like, you know, virtualization, Linux, of course, and Java, right? And I'll talk about elastic search a bit later on, but if you look at elastic search, right, what really made elastic search elastic search, it's Apache Lucene that came from the Apache Software Foundation, right, basically was created about 11 years before and is the key indexing under elastic search, also using NetE, Jackson, Lock4j. And so I think the thing to take away from here is, you know, Open Source feeds Open Source and I think a lot of the innovation we're seeing today, you know, is because there's this great virtuous cycle from being able to, you know, build on top of that. And then, you know, above that, you have ISVs, you have managed service provider, you have system integrators, you have a whole value chain, right, as was shown in one of the previous presentations of folks who can kind of get the benefit. And it's really not a zero-sum game because the reality is these market segments are super big and no one company can actually capture the value. Not Amazon, not anyone else, you know, it's hundreds of companies, even thousands that actually captured the value of these kind of communities. The problem happens when, you know, the supply chain breaks down and, you know, and that's a problem that, you know, when it happens retroactively, it's a real issue. So if you think about Java, right, Java came out in 1996, right, so folks had about 23 years of kind of having a pretty, you know, reasonable cadence around Java releases and so on. And then a few months ago, right, Oracle announced that they were going to change, you know, some of the Java licensing, the release cadence. Frankly, I don't even myself fully understand it because I think no one does. I think a lot of enterprises right now are trying to figure out what's going on. But we've basically gone into a six-month release cycle. So the security updates that most commercial applications get is about six months. And it's not quite clear, I think, to a lot of organizations right now on whether they have to pay or don't have to pay for a Java license and when they're going to have to pay. So frankly, I don't even know the exact details because I was reading, you know, both the Oracle content and other content that was out there. I think there's still a bit of a wait and see. But the big problem here is it creates a lot of uncertainty, right? We have 23 years of applications being built on Java. Uncertainty is never good in the supply chain. And that's something that, you know, we at Amazon kind of sort of was starting to impact our customers, right? Our customers were starting to get worried about the Java supply chain. And so one of the decisions that we made is when we see, you know, kind of the supply chain breakdowns, you know, for our customers, you know, we'll take a serious look. And if we think that there's certain things that we can help with to make sure that customers really have unfettered access right to what they were used to, then we're going to, you know, basically act and, you know, try and help out. And that's why we announced that Amazon Coretto a few months ago. Coretto is basically a distribution for Java that is free for everyone. You don't have to be an Amazon customer. And we are basically providing that long-term support for free. So we are going to be doing, you know, backporting security fixes, I think for Java 8 until June 2023, for Java 11 to, I think, August 2024. And so, you know, with Coretto, we've basically been helping out not only our customers, but I say to the overall community to make sure that we take that supply chain issue out of the system and we really help and make sure that enterprises can continue to bed on Java. Very important to note that a, you know, fundamental thing for us in creating Coretto is we didn't want to go and fork Java.  And so, you know, any backporting that we do, any work we do on Java, we actually do contribute back upstream to OpenJDK. So, you know, very, very important to note, you know, our goal here was not to bifurcate any community. We're contributing back to the main OpenJDK project. It's just making sure we create this distribution that customers can trust and they know exactly what they're getting. And they're getting the support that we think they should be getting over the long term. Another, you know, kind of breakdown that was in the news, I would say in the last 24 hours was Elasticsearch. And let me just say that I think, you know, Elasticsearch is awesome software and there's a lot of commercial success behind Elasticsearch and I think that's great. And as I said before, the market segment is super big. You know, it's in the middle of log analytics and machine generated data analytics. And there's just a huge ecosystem on top of this. And I think from our perspective, lots and lots of players in this ecosystem are going to do well. So our point of view here was really kind of a supply chain view. You know, we have a service called Elasticsearch. A lot of our customers also run Elasticsearch on EC2. They're running Elasticsearch elsewhere. And in June 2018, confusion started to enter the Elasticsearch world when a number of changes were basically made to how the code base was being managed. First of all, proprietary code started to be intermingled with open source code. Not only was it intermingled, it also started to become very difficult to actually understand what is an open source, what is an proprietary software, and that started to create a real issue. Code commits started to commingle open source and proprietary. So if you wanted to be an open source developer and not look at proprietary code, it actually became more and more difficult to do so. And you'd have to have some kind of cleanser on code commits that basically erases the proprietary code so you make sure you actually are only looking at open source software. So that started to become really challenging, you know, from our perspective and also from our customer's perspective. In addition, the key distribution point really moved to kind of the, you know, source code available proprietary version, which meant that most folks who came and downloaded it, and I think many of them probably thought they were getting open source, they were really getting proprietary software. And that's where the clarity comes in, right? I'm not saying proprietary software is bad. I'm just saying that it's a very, very important, right, to be extremely clear with your customers and with the community what's open source, what is proprietary.  We've got lots of customers using it. A lot of our customers love open source. They love the freedom to know that they can basically self manage over time if they need to, right? If they don't want to work with us directly, if they want to self manage on-premise, they want to have the assurance that they get the freedoms that they're used to from open source software. And so, you know, what we basically announced yesterday, similar to Coretto was basically a distribution for Elasticsearch. And that distribution has really a few key goals. Number one, just make it very easy for our customers who care. Not everyone cares, but the ones that care about open source to get a package that is guaranteed to be Apache 2 licensed and is completely open source, and they can do whatever they want with it. And that includes running it on competitive clouds, running it on premises, running it on their laptops, right? This is true open source from our perspective. It is not Amazon open source, it's community open source. Second, as we saw innovation kind of slowed down on the open source side, we felt it was really important to start also innovating on open source. And so we've added capabilities there, such as security, SQL, alerting, and, you know, our goal is to continue to innovate in open source and give that code, you know, back to the community and make sure that whoever is interested in this kind of distribution can get that kind of unfettered license distribution that gives them long-term control of their environment. And then last but not least, the goal here is to, you know, build a community. We've had customers like Netflix and Expedia kind of, you know, join us when we announce this. But we've seen quite a lot of interest, you know, just in the past 24 hours of, you know, other customers and partners that have potential interest in this. And so our goal is to truly build a meritocracy here about a community driven project where it's not only Amazon, but it's really others who are contributing to this project. And we're making it very easy. We've even eliminated the requirement for contributor license agreement for a lot of the smaller patches. It's basically a click-through approval that they're contributing under Apache 2. And, you know, we're going to continue to invest in this and make it available. And then some of those features are going to find their way back to our managed service. But, of course, you know, anyone is welcome to take this distribution and innovate on top of it however they see fit in any environment that they want to run it in. So, you know, we're open for contributions. By the way, we are partnering a lot right now, both in the CNCF, you know, around a lot of different communities on contributing with partners and even competitors around open source. And the same is true for here. You know, we're welcoming anyone to come and join us. You know, if you're interested in an open distro for elastic search, you know, talk to us. And, you know, our goal is just to make this a good, credible project for the community. Thank you.


The Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency has warned against drug peddling in Asaba, the Delta State Capital. The Director General of the Agency, Chief Patrick Uka, gave the warning during a press conference in Asaba. The DG said that drug peddling is a form of security breach in Asaba which will not be tolerated. He asked residents to keen to government plan of making Asaba a cleaner capital city in the country. The agency retraced each commitment to give Asaba a facelift by fitting of modern capital city. Uka Haiva called on residents to clean up their houses and remove any additional structure to any building across the capital territory. We are expected to sweep the roads. And when you sweep the roads, you get at a 31 point. If the waste management board does not come to pick it, we are not going to leave it there unpicked. So we have also made the contingency plan to see that when we sweep, we are able to cut them away. But I think some of us litter the road on our own. But if we take the business of sanitation as everyone's business, the further you can back on your friend, pick that thing up. I think it can add to the aesthetics of the city. So what we are trying to do right now is to carry out a campaign. After two weeks of this campaign, we are going to have a roadshow which is to talk about greening the capital city. For now, we are going to carry a campaign for cleaning your environment and cleaning your offices and your shop. And we are going to particularly lead it because we will go to house to house. We want to beg that you should not litter the front of your houses. You can use your nylon bags to pack them. You can buy your beams to put it. The agency is already making arrangements to see where we can get it in a cheap way so that people can easily afford it. So the clearance, the waste bin, we will try as much as possible to make it affordable and ready for people to buy.


They don't wanna take supplements, they don't wanna go on any mat, they don't wanna do healing, they don't wanna do anything. You can't convince them to do anything. Now they're gonna get this whether they like it or not.


I'm excited to be bringing you five of my favorite beauty tips to look younger instantly. This is nothing that would be like a big surprise to anybody. I don't think these have been makeup hacks that have been around for a long time, but they're ones that I feel like for me, they are a must in every single time that I do my beauty routine, whether that is skincare or makeup. So there is a couple of different things thrown in here that are skincare. And then there is makeup in here, and I'm going to demonstrate that for you today. If you're new to my channel, I invite you to please subscribe and ring the bell so that you can be notified of any videos that we might be having in the future. And whether or not you are new or a longtime subscriber, welcome to the video today. And please don't forget to give it a thumbs up. I would really appreciate that. It does help me out very much. So we're going to get into these five beauty tips that will help you look younger instantly. Okay, the first one that I have to share with you is a skincare tip. And this one I feel like is non-negotiable for any woman that is aging across the board. Usually as we age, I'm not saying this is 100% of the time, but usually as we age, our skin does dry out a little bit, especially underneath our eyes. Our neck gets a little bit more creepy, that kind of thing. So that a lot of times is signs of dehydration or our skin needing more moisture. Let me tell you what I do in the morning, because I feel like that moisture in the morning is so important to make my makeup look prettier, because if my skin looks bad, all of the makeup that goes on, it is going to just look just as bad no matter how expensive it is, no matter how good it is. So you've clenched your face, you've used any serums that you want to use. Now you're going to do that moisturizing that is so important to plump up the skin. And what I like to do is I like to go in, first of all, with a spray bottle that has mineral water or purified water in it.  Because that is where the moisture comes from, is from water. And so many people have said that they've not been able to use hyaluronic acid. Well, that's the reason is because you need that layer of water before you go in with something like this. This is from Hada Labo, and it is a super hyaluronic acid. And I will put this on, or I very recently have gotten from the Inky List, I'm probably going to say this wrong, but it is polyglutamic acid. Now what is interesting about this new acid that I just, that I read about when I was looking at the Inky List is that this acid is supposed to be four times more moisturizing than hyaluronic acid. Now the claims of hyaluronic acid are as it holds a thousand times more, its weight in water, and now we're looking at this. So four thousand more times its weight in water that it can draw to. But you have to have that layer of water first. So I put the layer of water, then I layer this, and then I'll go in with something that is going to hold that layer of water in. And that is my Sukiyakasuhara Urea Moisture Lotion. You can see in the bottom there that that is extremely liquidy. You wouldn't think that that would be super hydrating. But it is the only thing that I use in the morning to lock everything in. Now with the eyes, I'll go in with their eye cream. It is a little bit thicker. I have really, really bad deep under-eye wrinkles and really super dry skin under there. So super moisture in the morning helps give a healthy look to your skin, a plumped up look. That is what a younger skin looks like. It's very bounce back, it's very hydrated, it's very plumped. Tip number two is about your eyebrows. Now I do have my eyebrows a little bit done today. I kind of shaped them out. My daughter who is 23, she has the most beautiful thick eyebrows and when she was home this last time, her and I were talking about eyebrows and I was asking her about how she gets this beautiful shape on her eyebrows. But as I looked at them, I was thinking, you know what it is? It's that her eyebrows are thicker. So what I'm going to do, this is how I would normally wear my eyebrows before I started doing it, very thin, which is not a bad look. A lot of people have very sparse eyebrows, so they have to do it very thin. But I'm going to thicken these up just a little bit so you can see what I'm talking about. I'm just going to put a little bit more eyebrow right here on the top and I'm just going to thicken it up. Now please keep in mind that I do have a palsy in my hand. I will shake during this, but that shaking is not due to nerves. It's just due to the fact that I do have a disability. Okay, so I'm going to take this and I'm going to thicken it up ever so slightly. Just enough to kind of make this top look thicker. I don't want to thicken it up from the bottom because that's going to bring your eyebrow down. So I'm just going to take this top part and I'm going to just thicken it. Fill it in a little bit more, make it a little bit wider, and then I'm just going to brush it out a little bit. You see the difference on this eye and this eye, even though it's just that tiny amount, it gives a little bit more thickness, which gives the eye a little bit more height and a little bit more lift and makes it look a little bit more open. This eye actually looks a little bit more droopy. So I'm going to go ahead and do this other one. So again, having these eyebrows that are just a little bit more thick, they bring the eye up a little bit. They make it not look like it's drooping down. And the other thing that it does, it's more youthful. Kids have nice eyebrows normally. They're beautiful thick eyebrows that they don't tame. They don't do anything to. And that is the youthful look is that thicker eyebrow.  That's one thing I didn't mention was a little bit darker too, but you obviously probably know that already from doing your own eyebrows. So number three is kind of a fun secret weapon that I learned about on Emily Noelle's channel. And this is the Wet and Wild Highlighter Brow Pencil. This is kind of a chubby pencil. It is just a pink color. I'll show you right there. It's just a very nude pink color, but it's bright. But what I love about this, I did wear this in my waterline and it does make your eye look brighter that way. That's what I learned from Emily. But what I've learned through the years is that all these girls that are putting in their inner tear duct there, they're putting that highlighter, it is pretty and it's beautiful. But if you are more mature and you want something that is just a little bit more soft, you can achieve it with this a little bit better. And I'm going to show you. So you can see how dark that is in there. I'm going to fill all of this in with that pencil.  And it is something that is more along the lines of a cream product, which does help with your aging skin too.  If you do too much, it's going to look too dry and it's going to kind of defeat your purpose. So I'm going to do this other one. And basically, I'm really just kind of painting quite a bit in there. And it just really helps that part of the eye just look so much brighter. So easily done and easily make your eyes look so much better. Now, you can also take this and go right underneath your brow right here, just at the arch, and kind of lift that as well. So can you see the difference in the two? Kind of just lifted it really well. So I'm going to do this one so you can see it too. So that brightness just brought that up. And so we've got brightness here and we've got brightness on the outside of the arch as well. It just looks so pretty. Now you can put this in your cupid's bow. And that again, will bring a little bit of light to the cupid's bow right there. But using that highlighter pencil in specific targeted ways can really give you a lightened look on your eyes and really help to brighten them up and make those look more youthful. So that is number three. Now, number four is about cheek products, their placement and how they can make you look so much better. Now we all kind of, anybody that grew up in the eighties, nineties, we didn't do a lot of blush. I guess eighties we kind of did, but in the nineties it was very dramatic eye, very little blush, very nude lip. Well, that look is beautiful on somebody that's younger, but if you get no blush and no lip, you're going to look so pale and drained down here that you're going to look a little bit sickly on the sickly side. But if you can use a pretty bright blush, it can really help to brighten up your look. So today I'm using a Super Shock blush from ColourPop and this one is called Count Me In. It is a very neutral peachy pink. It's just a bright color, it's beautiful. And then I recently found this Sonia Kashuk angled brush that's actually for contour, but I'm going to give it a try today and see how it does on this. Okay, so with the blush, I like to bring it from the outside in because I don't want to necessarily get too much on the inside to begin with, but I like to have it a little bit higher and just blushing up a little bit of my cheeks. You can already see the difference in the two sides and how that's already getting brighter. Now, lots of people tell you to put it right there on the apples of your cheeks. Because I'm older, I don't do that. It's not a look that I really like that much. I like to have it kind of draw the eye upwards. So I just kind of grin a little bit. So I do know where the apples of the cheeks are, but I don't bring it like straight on apples of the cheeks. So I just keep pulling that up a little bit and pressing it around.  There, can you see how much more youthful this side looks with that blush on than this side? It just really does define youth as far as having a flush to your cheeks, a blushing bride, that kind of thing. So those are what we're looking for. A baby has beautiful skin, but they do have those little rosy cheeks, or children have those little pretty rosy cheeks. So that is what I'm talking about as far as blush brightening, blush flesh, that kind of thing, bringing more youthful look to your skin.  As an older woman in her fifties, I just remember that when I see kids walking around, they've always got that sun-kissed look.  This is where the sun hits us. It is where we want to have just a little bit of a softened look. If you're somebody that still loves that contour, no problem. I'm not trying to say don't do that. I'm just trying to say this is what works for me. This is what I look at when I look at a young child, maybe one that has been playing out in the snow or something, they've got a rosy nose, they've got rosy cheeks, they just look so cute. The other thing, somebody that is younger, let's say you have somebody that is a blushing bride. Let's say you have a pregnant mom and you say you're glowing. It's a beautiful look. So I do suggest that you use just a very light hand with a highlighter on the tops of your cheeks. And this one, again, is from ColourPop. It's their Super Shock cheek highlighter. And this one is in Flexitarian. Lots of people talk about this and it's for good reason because this is a gorgeous highlight that doesn't leave any texture across your cheeks and yet leaves that really just soft beaming look. So here's the cheek and I'm just going to put it just barely on this area right here. And you can see how soft that is, how much it diffuses that look right there on the cheeks. And so as I turn, you can see it. And then as I turn, there's a little bit of glow here, but it's a little bit dull on the side. I haven't done yet. So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to do the other side as well. So there is the glow, just a tiny, tiny bit of glow. And it just brightens it up. Now, if you're somebody that doesn't like that much glow, do the highlighter first and then put your blush on top of that and that's going to diffuse it even more, but you're still going to have that very lit within look, that very beautiful glowing look. Now, number five, I firmly believe this is where every woman will show her age even if her makeup is flawless, her skincare is flawless, everything from here up looks absolutely gorgeous. Do you know where her age is going to show up the most? It's her hands. Okay, so I suggest that you get a really good hand lotion. You do a really good scrub on your hands.  Now I know that with all the hand washing that we're doing in the hand sanitizer that we're using, our hands are drying out like crazy. Morning and night, I do a complete treatment on my hands and that is I will exfoliate them because your hands, unless they're really raw, they're going to need to have some really good exfoliation. Use whatever you want. If you feel like a rag is enough just to get the dead skin off, go ahead and do that. If you're somebody that likes a chemical exfoliant, you can treat yourself to that. I would say only do that once or twice a week if you're going to do a chemical exfoliant on your hands.   But this is the Alpha Skincare Renewal Body Lotion. This is fantastic for that creepy, nasty skin that we get when we're older. It's so good for the hands as well. This is going to be a little bit harder for you to see because it's not really one that I can just go, okay, we'll look at this hand and then look at this hand because I can try to do that, but it's probably not going to be as good because I've already moisturized my hands like crazy this morning, but I will try and show you the difference. Maybe, maybe not, it will show on camera. Sometimes this camera gets a little bit too much light in it. So this hand is super moisturized and this one isn't yet. So I feel like moisturizing your hands, making sure that they are as hydrated as possible can really help hide your age. The other thing is make sure you bring all of your skincare down on your hands and up your arms. That does help me so much. I used to have such really, really bad spots on my hands. I mean, bad age spots until I started to really pay attention to my hands with my skincare. That's the fifth tip. I hope that you guys did enjoy these five tips for anti-aging, making you look younger with beauty. It is very easy to do all of these tips and enjoy them. The benefits of them can be enjoyed today if you want them to. So thank you guys so very much for tuning in. Please give it a thumbs up if you did enjoy it. I hope all of you are staying healthy and stay sanitized, stay safe. I love you guys very much and I'll catch you all in my next video. Bye, you guys.


You know, we gave ourselves an opportunity. I thought the first half we weren't locked in. Our defense was subpar. We obviously weren't making shots, but our defense was poor. But I thought in the second half we were much better. You know, we were a shot or two from making a really tight game, so disappointed in the loss. But again, I thought our second half was better. Not the outcome you wanted, but how encouraging was it to see Alan Crabb get cooking the way he did? Huge, huge. Just, like, you could feel it coming, too, right? These past couple games, even though he didn't make every shot tonight, he was fantastic. And I still think he's hesitating too much. Like, we need him to shoot five more times a game. So hopefully he's woken up and is in his groove now. Is that kind of what you had talked about? You said you saw it coming in Alan. And guys eventually are going to revert to the mean. And now Joe looks like he's kind of gone in the opposite direction. Listen, if you're a numbers guy, those things end up working out. I think it was bound to happen with Joe. I think Joe's playing his tail off. I think he's probably a little fatigued with that, too. This is a time in a season where guys start getting a little tired.  I don't know how many shots he's had going in and out. But he provides so much other stuff for us that shooting to come back. When you look at the big picture, you guys have played more road games than anybody in the league, if I'm not mistaken. So what kind of physical toll has that taken this early? No, we talked about that today. But there's no way around NBA schedule. There's just no way around it. And I think it's going to help us improve in the long run. Like, having to fight through these tough schedule, tough travel, I think in the long run, it's going to make us a more resilient team. Let's start with Ronde in the second half on Barnes, looking for some similar last night. Barnes had 18 points in the first half. He wanted to slow him down, put JD with that second unit. I thought it was a good change. And Ronde's got to do that for us. And it's a point guard, a three-man, four-man. He's got to be our stopper. Was that more of a match-up thing, or was that something we could see more of going forward? Oh, I think it was a match-up thing. I think when a guy on the other team has got it going, I think we have, you know, Ronde is our ace in the hole there. And, you know, we talked about Alan Crabb, but I think Ronde's starting to play better. I think we got some guys back on this trip that were struggling a little bit. I think Ronde put Ronde in that category, too, playing better. I mean, Ronde was, I mean, he was the nominal starter, and then he got hurt over the summer, so that's what I'm saying. I'm not ready to go there yet. You know, I like how our first unit's playing. I like JD and that first unit. I love how he moves the ball with that first unit. So, you know, it's something we could look out down a row, but I think we'll probably stay status quo for now. How hard is it to back up last night's defensive performance with another one tonight? I guess the team that has a lot of offensive weapons. Sure. And I thought Berea and Devin Harris were huge. Two veteran guys came in, and obviously Barnes had a great game, but Devin and Berea, darn it, I wish she didn't play tonight. We would have been a heck of a lot better off, but listen, it's a challenge for a young player.   Coach, good, aren't you? Being that you've been able to see him up close. Yeah. The first time I saw him, and very impressed, I can't believe how calm, cool, and collected he is. He's, he plays at his pace. You can't dictate his pace. He gets where he wants on the court, obviously, has great shots. I thought, when we were making a comeback, he hit some tough shots. I thought he hit a couple of daggers where I thought we played great defense, and that's what the really good ones do. They make tough shots when they're guarded. I was very, very impressed with him tonight.


The study used a region-wide repeated forest inventory across the eastern United States to assess forest land use conversion and associated changes in forest carbon stocks, finding that poorly stocked stands and small diameter trees had the highest probability of conversion to non-forest land uses. The study highlights the importance of considering land use change in planning and policy decisions that seek to maintain or enhance regional carbon sinks.

Well, hi there, my name is Sandi Allnok. I'm an artist and paper crafter here on YouTube and I'm going to be painting animal stamps with Brush-O today. Brush-O is a watercolor powder. It's a pigment that's in a container and you shake it onto your project. Most people just do backgrounds with it, but I've been experimenting with controlling it and trying to find ways to do that. So I spread some water, just clean water onto these my favorite things stamps and and sprinkled the powder into the water. The water didn't go all the way to the edge because it's hard to see when you're painting with just clear water. It didn't go to the edge of the stamp, but it's easy enough to move it around with my brush and pull the color all the way out to the edge and fill in the animal completely. And I love the way the Brush-O bursts into multiple colors and retains a lot of its granularity. You could do similar techniques using other watercolor powders, but a lot of those tend to kind of mush together and blend so smoothly that they lose that property of the granularity and the mixing of the colors. So I do prefer this brand. I wanted to add some shadows. So while it was still damp, I tapped on a little bit of that gray at the bottom of his head so I could spread that around. And then I'm using a clean brush for this top section so I don't continue to pull more color out any further than I already had. And then I'll add a little bit on his body as well to add some contrast to one side of it so you can get some shading using the powders straight onto your paper. Next I'll do this little squirrel guy with some sandstone color. This one has a number of other colors within it. And again, I just put some blotches of color or blotches of water and drop the color in and then spread them around. And I'm thinking ahead too, do I want to add some shading? Where would I add it? And with this kind of a thing, it's very loose anyway, so don't stress over light sources and things. I just wanted to add a little bit at the base of his head somehow. And so I dabbed it off and then tapped on some more color to push it around right in that area at the bottom of the head and come down into the body a little. As I was looking at that, I thought, well, what if I went a really dark brown? And this is really just experimenting. That's what I would recommend you do, especially if you have only a few colors. Try different colors together and see what happens. Add a little green to a red and see what color they make when you mix the two of them. Because a lot of colors, when you add a bunch of each one together, you're going to get brown colors. So if you're looking for a brown color, you don't have one. Try some of your primaries and see if you can create other colors for yourself. This little deer, I wanted to keep his chin white underneath his chin and underneath his tummy. And that was going to be an interesting experiment to see if I could do it. So I spread the color around the back of the head and then it down across the body. And I wanted to add a little bit more color on there so I could spread it out sort of around the face, but not too far. And I had to be careful with my brush that I didn't push it too far and then start losing entirely that area that was supposed to be white. So I used a very clean brush then to try to soften out those edges. And I also realized it wasn't really as yellowish as I wanted. I wanted a little more golden color. So I took some gamboge and sprinkled that on there. You can do that in unlimited fashion. Just keep adding colors to it until it turns into what you want it to be. Our little fox, I was going to try the burnt sienna, but I also wanted a little bit of lightness in there too because the burnt sienna can get very heavy. So I also added a few little crystals of gamboge to try to make some difference in there and have some light and dark areas. In all of this, you may notice that there are a few crystals of powder that land outside of the water area. But when the powder lands on the paper and it's not wet, you can just blow it off after it's done. Now I'm not blowing or rubbing any of the paper right now while it's wet because I don't want to take a chance on messing up any of the painting I've done. But when I'm all done, it's easy to dust off the excess. My little owl, I decided I wanted him to be very golden. So I'm using the gamboge there for the main part of his body. And then I'm going to add on my shadows afterward. So just paint around and move that yellow color and then put some dark brown on the left and right. And again, the powder will not stick outside of the image. I am going to fussy cut these out. But if you were to put this onto a card directly and not want all that powder sitting around, as long as you keep that outside area dry, you'll be just fine and you don't have to worry about that not not being able to be removed later. So I'm gonna morph my colors and just keep kind of adding a little bit more water and pulling that color around from the leaf, the leaves, the feathers. Yes, they look like leaves. And next is this little guy.  He could be a skunk, I'm not really sure. So I could have done it in black and white. But I decided he's just going to be a another guy in the same colorway as the little one up on top of a little bit of the burnt sienna mixed with the gamboge. But you can see they come out differently every single time. It really depends on how much powder you add and how much water and what combination they're in and how much you move them around and how much you dab off, which is just kind of an unlimited type of look that you can get from some of these. So I dabbed off a little bit of the color there. And since I had some on my brush, I colored the snout of my little bear now that gray was dry. Next, I wanted to add some gray shadows in the white areas of a few of the animals. So I tapped some of the powder onto the surface that I'm working on. This is a craft assistant from Ellen Hudson. So it's a shiny metal surface. I could use it as a palette and pick up color to add onto my car and onto my painting. You can do that for all of this. You wouldn't have to actually drop the color in. I just find it a better effect for a lot of this area to drop the powder into water. The tummies on these little guys, I decided to paint first and then paint the arms on later after it was dry because that allows me to not drag a lot of that brown color around on the tummies. So painting the light colors works best.  I just wanted to swap around the sentiments from the stamp set, but I'm doing the same, same, same thing. I took some leaf green and tapped it into some water inside the two tree stamps that are in the set and all I have to do is spread them around. And I was wishing I had retained more of that yellow color. If I had not spread this around at all, there would have been some interesting yellow in there and that didn't happen. But looking at it now on the video, I'm like, oh, that was so nice. I liked having that color. So you can, again, dab off and then add more color back on because I wanted some more contrast in my tree. You can add it to just part of it and move it around with water, whatever you'd like to do to create the look that you're looking for on your card. So to ground now, I decided I was going to do something a little different and I painted on a little bit of water, put in a tiny bit of moss green. Moss green is a very dull color, but I didn't want something that was going to be really screaming. So the moss worked really well for that and I just kind of made a hillside for the trees to stand on and use a lot of water. The more water you use, the softer you can make it. And after I heat set that, so it was all completely dry, then I added some dark brown into the tree trunks. I really only had to add a few crystals into the base and even those crystals that are off on the left there, bleed right off after it was done, just a quick bit of breath and that'll all clean up. And then I was able to add on all of my images onto the card bases that are now finished as well. So between all of it, look how cute. I just used a few little pop dots to put my animals onto my cards and I put them onto some craft card bases. And the sentiments in here will get you through a lot of different needs for cards. So there's birthday sentiments, love sentiments, friend sentiments, and you're so dear to me. Darling, darling, darling, love how the little deer actually came out. Really beautiful. I tucked the sentiments down by the trees as much as I could to sort of create a focal point on the card and allow all that color and everything to be in one area. Lots of white space on these to keep them light and fresh but still so much fun.  So these were really easy to assemble a whole bunch of cards all at once by doing all of the brush show work and then later on being able to do the assembly. There's a couple more videos using some brush show if you're interested in seeing some more stuff. I'd be happy to share more with you.

What's up everybody? Jayce here for jatsby's casebricks.com. We just sold out 2021 upper-deck series one hockey 12 box case break pick your teams number four on our website And again If you buy two or more spots guys, you have a chance to win a free box of series one And of course, we'll do that randomize at the end of the break So if you buy two teams you get one entry into the giveaway you buy four teams you get two entries You buy six teams you get three entries etc etc, so we'll randomize these customer names and see who gets an entry into there And then here's the break So last bomb ojo was Mike getting the flyers and the jets We're trying to do a macular basketball man. So we have two left in the high end 21 team random number block, which is a serial number break It's pretty pricey, but of course you get a piece of those 21 teams And at the bottom of the item description Use you a quick little look rundown of how it works There's your really Kevin very nice man. Oh, sweet That dude's a real deal right We do man who we do that on Instagram jatsby's.com So not here on YouTube but on Instagram Well aren't like PSA 10 my Conor McDavid's like Almost a thousand bucks or over a thousand dollars now And they printed a shoot ton of those man So the fact that they're The fact that they still sell for that is amazing Yeah, definitely man. Wow these packs are much easier to rip. Thank you overduck But if you can uh, sir Nick just the first box I'm gonna pack stack probably either four boxes or half of this case at a time So Give me about like 15 20 minutes to rip all this And then we'll go through all the carts I love their products, but as of late the last like three releases were like SPA OPG platinum all these ones they were just so tough to rip This one actually shockingly see like it the difference you can see is that it doesn't have as much glue on the top So when there's less glue, it's easier to Open it up perfectly, you know But the fact is that sometimes it has a little too much glue, which the last couple cases I've done did have But this one so far hasn't been too bad, so I'm actually pretty happy about that But I could feel the quality in their packs though. You can tell like I Don't know if they're using thicker packs, but you can tell right away that these packs are much better quality than other packs So I don't know if that maybe that's it too using thicker thicker plastic or thicker pack material and oftentimes guys so again So take me about an hour and a half or so they mean we still can't do any breaks after that I took it at six. I don't care. Did you see that Robert Woods?  I don't know. I think that'd be so awesome I mean either it's gonna fire back on you or it's gonna be like you're the you're the best like quarterback ever You make that decision All right, so like I said, I got that NT case right here. I'm just feeling something out of the NT case Maybe logo man. Maybe another design RPA job. Maybe a big RPA in the 21 teamer. Maybe a triple auto sneakers like a sneakers Spotlights or sneakers shoelaces, whatever you can get out of there guys There's a lot of heat in these immaculate cases guys, and I feel like I'm gonna pick a winner And hopefully I do I don't know I walked back there a couple times to grab, you know the soccer boxes and Just looking at this immaculate case because it just looked different And by different sometimes it's like a little cardboard is like kind of cut on top or something.  I want to use So I brought the case with me guys We're just two of those $700 spots away and a filler Which the hanger fills already down to eight left only You can win a $700 spot for a fraction of the price. Yeah, I was crazy Nick. I I actually pulled a nice one-on-one nebulae Anthony Edwards out of Out of prison draft picks and that was probably gonna be a couple thousand dollars. I doubt like nice. That's a nice hit and then of course The logo man just blew that out of the water So now I'm hoping that that logo man goes for over a hundred thousand dollars I'd like to make David so we can have two cards that we pulled here that go over a hundred thousand well, I expected to go over a hundred thousand or at least be close to that because recent logo man a couple months ago was an old-school upper deck when I believe so for big $40,000 they said out of out of seven and then recently a Logo man calves edition of LeBron James From the finals from Cleveland in opulence, I believe so for a hundred and fifty thousand now I want to say that an opulence logo man From a NBA finals game is probably a little bit better than this one But again, this is a LeBron James Lakers edition as they claim of course, you know a Logo man, so that has to add some significant value as well So I would assume that This one has to be closer in that ballpark because it's LeBron. It's the year that they won a championship Now we can't prove that that's from an NBA finals game But I think that's why that one-on-one opulence LeBron James calves Logo man NBA finals sold for 150 because I mean it's NBA finals jersey. Yeah, we pulled a I pulled a Zion RPA last night It's about 11,000 RP $11,000 RPA Try to pull another one of those tonight guys. You know, so Steve Let's pull some bigger hits guys Potentially try to top that It's gonna be very hard I only assume that the LeBron James logo man anything better than that's gonna be probably a Zion or maybe a jaw Just because they're the rookies in this class, but Like I said, there's still plenty of great hits hiding in a Mac of the guys We are two full spots away from selling out the 21 team R&B and we are eight spots away from selling out the hanger that unlocks the break Now whichever one sells up first guys vice versa, we sell out that hanger guys I can take out the last two spots remaining in the case break and We turn it into one more filler and I guarantee you that'll sell pretty quickly knowing that that's the last one We need to do but I think people are kind of a little Hesitant because they realize they might have to sell out another filler or if those two spots get taken You got to know that hangers gonna sell out like this super fast Plenty of time after I get this done guys will take me about an hour and a half to get this done So I figure They're doing it for about 20 minutes now almost gonna rip half the case So Yeah, it's been about an hour or so Should be almost done with this that'll pretty much bring us about 745 8 o'clock I think that's plenty of time a couple hours to still potentially pull out and get that immaculate rolling Well, I haven't put any high glosses. I've only done Pikachu number one Joe did figure two number two and three. I assume so I have no idea. I Know there's been a couple of lefrenier high glosses pulled already. Do that guy pay $10,000 already for it I have a 20 minute video recording mark guys So I pretty much timed this okay pretty right Although I probably didn't take me 20 minutes to rip this if I took me about 17 Opening the case talking about the break Pretty much about 18 minutes. I assume So here's half a case guys of series one hockey You guys can see all the boxes of course on Nick cam 1 2 3 4 5 6 Let's pull some exclusive young ones young guns and clear cuts, right? Nice little Gabriel already There you go Kevin UD canvas for the lock-hawks rookies Timothy Lindgren Peyton Krebs And there we go out of exclusive young guns Reed Duke for Vegas Amber it's out of 100 Evander Cain Jason Robertson Ryan McGloyde John Carlson We got Jonathan Huberdough relic for the Florida Panthers And we're all these guys will they be multiple so we'll just split them up in half Dazzles Jack Eichel Tomas Chava and R10 Jack Hughes Lucas Carlson All right, so let's see how many we got one two three four five six. We have seven with that exclusive So seven young guns next one Yeah, I'm gonna come in early v-tech and a Tuka Rask and look at that I don't know if this corner is like a little thing Doesn't look like it, but then it just looks like it might be I don't know But that's a two out of five or three out of five Tuka for the Boston Bruins UD portraits Lucas Carlson Alexander True a male Elias Patterson And we got a clear-cut young guns Joel for the Dallas Stars It's gonna John D We got peer Oliver Joseph Tyler Benson Carrie Price Yeah, so far we're getting some nice young guns. We're getting some Low number parallels exclusives out of five to the Rask portrait Ty Dallandrea And we only open up two boxes guys Timothy Lindgren Thomas Harley and look at that clear-cut leaders That's probably gonna be randomized guys, that's the blues lightning and jets That's an answer I haven't seen just yet So who has the blues? Blues is mark nation Lightning is Nick and Mike is jets So this will be randomized guys John and Bernie are they really Nick nice. I know we get the other die cuts I haven't seen one of those triple die cuts like that though My Cal burden Mikey Anderson for my Kings Nice one of every 4,000 hobby packs. So We get what 24 packs in a box. So What is that per queue? How many boxes is that do the math? 4,000 divided by 24 Tylandrea Dallandrea Dustin Brown like Tuka Matthew Perot It's pretty good then so That's basically One in every 13 cases maybe one every 12 cases Very nice Yeah, 33.3 percent chance though Everybody fairly since everybody Every team was bought by different customer Pavel Dazzlers Andresa Vechnikov Kevrantha Halfway through the six first six boxes we've ripped open Nikita Kutcher off for the Lightning Josh Norris for the Senators Tyler Benson The fence in Benson's Yeah, only one Jersey so far NHL world wide wide wide If you get any Malkin Russia, it's gonna go to the Pittsburgh Penguins Amanda Kane. All righty the next one Connor McMichael, Connor McDavid portraits For the Kings Morgan We got Carter Hart Dazzlers And another Gabriel Vellardi Very nice Kev. Rack them up man. Rack them up Great in point Gabriel Vellardi portraits Young Guns canvas, Sotrstrom Relic, Zachary Winske, UD Game Jersey Nicholas Baldwin I had two more boxes guys, and then we can move on to the next six boxes That'll take me about 18-20 minutes to rip each of those Maybe you can go through it. We have a predominant Elias Kettersen. It's a very nice insert It is a stud Vancouver connects to that one David Critchie Igor Zamuala Alex Nikita Gusev Krebs Jake Evans Kevin Viala Dazzlers Kev Ranta And Young Guns of Ty DeLondre Canvas Matthews with that stash Yeah, I know right? I wish they threw uh Wish they threw um, what's his names three already?  We got one Alexis LaFernier Mikey Anderson Matt Duchain Jantun Harkins Young Guns Josh Norris Canvas Quinn Hughes Brock Nelson for the Islanders Islanders Winners Spiro Young Guns are all stuck Shane Bowers Carl Roder Islander going to Mike Jack of War check Yeah, Rex, I mean regardless it's still a huge hit And I'm just hoping that Steve gets more because I know this is kind of just like the mcdavid effect right when we pull the mcdavid So many people are like oh it's a hundred thousand some people said it was 200,000 and it's just like whoa, whoa, whoa like we're hoping to get to at least a hundred But I'll start putting like 200,000 in people's like mouths and rumors started spreading that You know John had to deny the 200,000 offer and you know So I like I said just based off what has sold You know you you can predict it being over a hundred thousand But at the end of the day that doesn't mean that it is going to sell for that I tell you as a collector would you As a LeBron collector someone's going to want that LeBron James local man, right because it's a Lakers edition It just won a championship It's beautiful You know, but if you're going to put a price tag on it You got to think of what has recently sold and what's out there And we talked about it, right? So the one out of seven Which the old school one one out of seven local man, so over 40,000 recently like a month or two ago Then recently too, I think someone said that the um Logo man from opulence, which is a game used Cavaliers NBA finals jersey local man sold for 150 So do you price it higher than that? Knowing that it's a game used finals one I don't think so, but You're definitely going to put it over the 40 So that's out of seven So I could you know see them the price range of close to a hundred if not a little over All right so Yeah, and that's the one thing rex and this is the other thing Is that when flawless releases in a month or two There's going to be another logo man out there. That's going to be a flawless edition You know, so That's going to also be there. There's going to be another logo man And then potentially another two or three for next year, right? So they'll still be a handful of Lakers local man, but this is probably the first one pulled I don't even know if there was an Immaculate one pulled last year or NT that had Lakers edition on it, you know But I'm hoping it goes over a hundred thousand. I would love us to have two cars that went over a hundred thousand, you know That'd be great so We're hoping that Does the same effect as that mcdavid in lilians and People go bidding crazy for it. You know what the won't what the mcdavid was kind of unknown because His his rps were averaging around 50 But will the 97 99 had to have to be double that price, you know And ended up being double that price at least Smart guy too or smart woman whoever it is, you know Don't really have to sell all right his stuff is never going to drop anyways Might as well capitalize and hold on to it But you know if there isn't an Immaculate logo man that was pulled from last year and it's a Lakers edition That would hold probably a little bit more value. Well, I don't know, you know, that's confusing, right? Would it hold more value because it's the first one that created probably But people also be superstitious and say power 2020's, you know the one that uh, they want on a championship, so It's all depending on who wants to pay for it. That's at the end of the day What's to do with us? Let's pull another logo man guys Eight left in that filler where you can potentially win a 700 spot for as low as 47 bucks eight left in that filler two left straight up That filler were to sell out quickly guys. I'll post up the last one and take out the last two spots there And we're one filler away from a five box case break of the maclet and for customers that are part of that 21 teamer You know, you're gonna get a piece of 21 teams for a fraction of the price Now, I mean see the thing with ebay is that yes the fees get killer The consignment people probably get a good percentage But all in all guys, I mean at the end of the day ebay does get a lot of views See the one thing with like these auction houses is that it's secure and it's private, right? I mean You know whenever it sells for you're gonna get paid But you got to think that some people love the ebay aspect where millions and potentially billions of people can look at ebay at any given time But the only fault with ebay is that Somebody can create a dummy account and bid on anything they want and not have to pay for it That is the only downside to ebay If if you could just be a little bit more secure on on stuff like that I think people would use ebay all the time So, you know consignment houses do also sometimes take Our auction houses do take a good chunk too as well, but I think what the auction houses make right away is is the buyer's fee Whenever somebody wins one of the percentage they automatically get charged like 20% Auction houses most of the time charge both ways But you know it's a cure though, you know, you're gonna get paid there For sure Rex. I would be happy to pull even a $10,000 card $5,000 card And even more priceless to me if they finally paid like 50 bucks for it too part of an r&b nick and The customer that hit that I believe paid For a filler spot and won that spot from a filler So essentially exactly how the mc david was pulled through a random number block and through a filler So both our customers That are potentially gonna get over a hundred thousand dollars cards paid under like a hundred bucks It's a great story See you guys fillers man People may hate them You never know guys. You never know And it's almost hitting the one-year anniversary when I pulled down mc david last year. I think I hit that like the first week of December So we're just a couple weeks ahead of time Oh, yeah, nick. That's what we never mean. Actually nick jaz we were talking about like I wonder if the If the mts on rpa the logo man one-on-one has actually been pulled or is it still sitting in a box?  Alrighty guys two more boxes Alrighty guys. So again, uh, these are the last six boxes are here the case Let's try to get that immaculate done guys We are super close guys get a piece of 21 teams in immaculate random number block style serial number style For 700 bucks, which would total would have been over 7 000 and you get 10 off So you save 70 bucks or you can win one of those 700 spots in a little filler break For 46.99 and we're down to eight left on that Those two breaks need to sell out to unlock a five box full case break of immaculate guys That's how close we are and I want to get that done tonight guys Like I said, I felt something different about this case that I have right here. I don't know. I feel heat guys We pulled them on design willinson rpa last night Trying to pull something crazy again this night guys. So let's get it rolling What's up, Tony? How's it going brother? So let's get that immaculate done guys You still get 10 off and you get a piece of 21 teams guys more than half of the mba And a lot of those teams have huge rookies Not let this sit there for another day guys This is break right now in about 30 minutes at eight o'clock Which gives us a little roughly at least two hours To get that immaculate case break done and I know we can do it guys Either we're selling those two spots straight up and filling up the hanger and that's it Or let's sell out the hanger guys and then I take those two spots and convert into one more hanger That's it We're too close for this break not to break tonight guys All right you guys good luck John Carlson bowlin bowden or bowen Byron next box Joseph wool And quin hughes dazzlers. That's like a purple one kusef Foglin Liam Fowley With the ball Verona Redouk relic of philip forseberg sam steele leon dryside Jake oltinger dazzlers leon dryside Nick robertson for the Leafs I have four boxes to go guys Carrier prize Oli For the vancouver connects Alex might be a short front.
