(light techno music)

- Welcome back everyone.

I'm Alison Berman.

Right now I'm sitting here with Matt Oehrlein.

Matt is the COO and co-founder of MegaBots

where they recently built a 12 ton, 16 foot robot

that's about to go into warfare or battle

with a company in Japan.

Welcome, Matt.

- Thank you.

- Okay, so the idea for MegaBots, dueling giant robots,

where did this come from?

- Right, so yeah,

so MegaBots is an entertainment company,

and really this whole fighting robots paradigm

has sort of come out of all of the video games

and comic books and movies we watched as kids.

So really it's

all of the giant robot battles from pop culture,

science fiction pop culture

brought to life for the very first time.

- What does it feel like to see these things come to life,

a childhood dream?

- Yeah, it's pretty amazing.

I think

one of the craziest moments is like the first time

you get into one of these things.

- [Alison] By these things he means robots.

- These robots.

So the robots are all human piloted.

They're these 12 ton, 16 foot tall

giant mechs we call them.

It's basically a giant robot that people pilot.

So when you get inside these things

it's like a video game come to life.

There's joysticks and buttons,

and there's a windshield,

and the engine roars up,

and the whole hydraulic system pressurizes,

and the thing comes to life.

It truly is like science fiction come to life.

- And do you have a favorite science fiction character

or action figure, superhero, as a child?

Or right now?

- Yeah, I think

I think a lot of engineers,

myself included, really

like Tony Stark, Iron Man,

because he's got,

he's like the best engineer, right?

He's got all the cool toys,

and he builds them himself, so

that's really amazing.

- And he has a super sweet house, and cars, and everything.

- Successful businessman and all that kind of stuff.

So, you know, I think

a lot of engineers like him.

- Okay, so tell me about the Eagle Prime robot.

- Sure, so the Eagle Prime

is a 12 ton, 16 foot tall robot.

It's powered by a 430 horsepower Corvette engine.

This is the first combat capable robot

that MegaBots has built.

So this is the robot that's going to do battle

with the Japanese team.

This is the battle that has been highly, highly anticipated

over the last two years.

It's finally happening.

So Eagle Prime, it's a very patriotic robot.

There's a giant eagle on it.

And so it's kind of over the top tongue and cheek

in good humor patriotic robot.

- And tell me about the robot that it's going up against.

- Yeah, so it's going up the KURATAS robot.

This is a robot

that a company called Suidobashi Heavy Industries

built in Japan.

Their robot looks to be

a little bit shorter, a little bit lighter,

but maybe a little bit faster.

So we'll see how the battle dynamics play out.

- And in battle dynamics,

are we talking throwing punches?

I see once a giant knife being dropped on a car.

- Yeah, so we have all different kinds of weapons

on the robot.

The Eagle Prime features a giant pneumatic cannon.

It shoots paint cannon balls,

three pound paint cannon balls.

They're huge.

They can shatter all the windows on a car,

very powerful.

And then on the other hand Eagle Prime right now

has a big logging grapple.

It's like a giant claw

that can actually exert

about 3,000 pounds of crushing force with the claw.

So it's kind of this combination,

you know, when you talk about battle dynamics,

it's kind of this combination of range combat,

using the paint balls to maybe blind cameras

on the other robot

or take out sensitive electronics,

and then closing in with the claw

and trying to disable their systems at close range.

- [Alison] Sounds like a whole comic book story, basically.

- [Matt] Yeah, yeah exactly.

And we actually have created a comic book.

You can read it on our website

some of the story behind how MegaBots came to be.

- And when is the battle?

- The battle is in September, early September.

- Early September.

- So yeah, I can't say exactly when,

but it's in September.

- And you have a Kickstarter running right now, do you?

- Not right now. - Not right now.

- Not right now. - There will be.

- So we actually funded the creation of this robot

with a Kickstarter that we ran a couple years ago.

So that was kind of how we burst onto this scene

and got a larger movement behind these robots.

So it was sort of the support team USA

in the USA versus Japan giant robot fight.

So that's how a lot of people know us.

- MegaBots has a very loyal following it seems.

What do you think makes so many Americans so excited

to have this giant dueling robot

with a Japanese robotics company?

- Yeah, I think,

you know, I think it's an interesting

classic American underdog story, right?

Like Japan is kind of known to be

the robotics powerhouse,

and I think

there's something interesting about

maybe the slightly over confident Americans

trying to get a foothold in the robotics space,

and doing it by building

basically just a bigger, louder, heavier robot

in true American fashion.

And

those

aesthetics kind of transfer over

to the different robot designs

that you'll see in this fight.

- And what was it like building the Eagle Prime?

What did it take to do that?

- Yeah, so the way we build our robots

is pretty interesting.

We actually hire a concept artist first,

so someone that's worked in video games

and stuff like that for awhile.

They draw a robot that looks really cool.

We say, "Okay, well this one has got to be patriotic.

"It's representing the US in this giant robot fight."

And so a concept artist will draw a robot

and then we'll say,

"Okay, but we can't actually build that robot.

"The shoulder needs to be a little bit bigger.

"We have to be able to fit hydraulic hoses

"and stuff like that in the different robot parts."

So then they'll modify the design.

And we kind of iterate a number of times with that artist

eventually arriving to something that

still looks pretty science fiction,

but the basic geometries of it

are something that we can design in CAD.

So we bring it into a CAD program,

and then we just start laying down steel pieces,

and then export the drawings and weld it up.

- And is this welding process a little wild?

Has anything ever gone haywire?

And if so, tell me about it.

- So yeah, I mean

all of the parts of the robot,

like the big assemblies,

the arms, the legs, all that kind of stuff,

they all weigh as much or more than a car.

So whenever we're,

so whenever we're lifting something,

you know, you can't lift

any part of this robot with your hands.

You always have to use a forklift or a crane

or something like that.

We've dropped a few pieces and stuff like that,

and it always makes like a really loud crash in the shop.

We take safety pretty seriously, too.

So we always keep a safe distance,

and wear hard hats and safety glasses

and all that kind of stuff.

But usually these pieces of robot when they fall

they'll shake the building.

- And do you have a big warehouse that you're working in?

- Yeah, so MegaBots headquarters,

which we call Fortress 1,

is in Hayward, California.

- Cool, we have a quick question from Tammy in the audience.

Thank you.

She just wants to know will the battle be livestreamed?

- The battle will not be livestreamed.

- Ooh, okay.

- Yeah, no, but you'll be able to,

you'll be able to see it-- - It will be released?

- On our YouTube channel and our Facebook.

- Cool, there you go, Tammy.

So talking about safety,

there's someone inside the robot when it's in battle.

- Yes, there's two people.

- There's two people.

How, it's very Transformer-esque.

How do they stay safe?

- Yeah, so we have a number of safety systems.

Seatbelt harness, five point safety harness,

helmets, neck restraints,

flame retardant suits.

Inside the cockpit is a whole roll cage

that's designed to keep the pilot safe

if the robot falls over.

We took a look at different standards

from monster trucks and Formula One

and some military standards.

How big do the escape hatches have to be

for someone to be able to get out

in case there's a fire, stuff like that.

So it's ...

We've kind of taken a look at a lot of different industries

to design the safety systems for our robot.

- And you have a background as a maker.

How has this influenced your current work?

- Yeah.

I used to ...

I was very involved in maker spaces

in my previous life,

and ran

probably the largest

maker space in metro Detroit.

And so I think there's a certain mentality

in people who are really involved in maker spaces.

There's kind of this like

it's a process of discovery.

And so

if you go to these spaces

you see people working on a lot of different projects,

using different techniques,

and it's hard to not become very curious when you're there.

So you sort of pick up ...

I'm an electrical engineer by education,

and so

kind of my time spent in Detroit

I picked up woodworking, and machining,

and welding, and all that kind of stuff.

So that natural curiosity to just say like,

"Oh hey, what are you working?

"Like how does that work?

"Can I try?"

And the knowledge sharing really transfers over

into MegaBots where I

have this mentality of like,

"Okay, we're kind of an entertainment and media company now,

"so like how do media contracts work,

"and like how do you negotiate those things?"

And like ad buys and stuff like that.

So just having that natural curiosity

and willingness to be open to learning new things

helps a lot in the entrepreneurial world, as well.

- Definitely.

And so how did you find out about the Japanese robot?

- Oh man.

So the Japanese robot,

these guys

I think at one point they put the robot on Amazon

and they were selling these things

for a million dollars a pop.

- Like Amazon Prime.

- I don't think it was Amazon Prime.

It probably takes more than two days to deliver it.

But yeah, I think this was maybe like five years ago.

It was such a great headline

for journalists to write about, right?

"What a crazy world we live in.

"You can actually buy your very own mech suit online

"for a million dollars."

And so that kind of

went around the various news outlets.

And that's how I had heard of it for the first time.

- And so you have a background

you said as a mechanical engineer.

- Electrical engineer.

- Oh, electrical engineer, my bad.

How when you told your friends and your family,

"I'm going into a company.

"We are building giant robots to fight."

Did people support you?

Did they think you were insane?

What was the experience like?

Because a lot of I think being an entrepreneur

is that initial idea that you just believe in.

- Yeah.

I think,

you know,

my friends and family were cautiously supportive.

They were like, "Well, that sounds like a crazy adventure.

"I'm sure you're gonna learn a ton whatever happens.

"I have no idea why you think this is going to like

"become a huge thing, but hey,

"you've had success in the past doing crazy stuff,

"so more power to you and can't wait to watch what happens."

- It's funny, because I think

a question a lot of people get is,

"When you were a kid,

"what did you want to be when you grew up?"

And I could see like exactly this, building giant robots.

- [Matt] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's definitely a childhood dream come true for sure.

And actually not just for me,

or the co-founding team,

or just the employees at MegaBots,

but we're finding for an entire generation of people.

Everybody sees the robots and they go,

"Oh yeah, it's from that comic book that I use to read

"or the video game I used to play."

When they see these robots,

we're finding that there's this whole generation of people

who have some kind of nostalgic tie to

Power Rangers, or Transformers, or Pacific Rim,

or whatever they watched.

And so I think that

it's very empowering for our brand

that we can kind of tap into that.

- Yeah, it kind of has a time capsule feeling to it.

- Exactly.

- And so we have another question

from the audience from Matthew.

Thank you.

Besides the fighting factor,

is there a way that the technology you're developing

will be used for some type of benefit?

- Yeah, we get this question a lot,

because a lot of people ...

And I don't know what's prompted this one,

but a lot of people go,

"Oh, you're building these giant robots.

"What are they for?"

And I see, "Oh, well they're for entertainment."

And they go, "Yeah, but what are they,

"but what are they really for?"

It's like, "No, no, no.

"Why would you build a Formula One car

"or a monster truck?"

It's made for entertainment.

That said,

I'm sure there's technology that comes out of Formula One

that can then be applied to the automotive industry,

and I think likewise

there's just like human machine interfaces,

safety systems,

robust

reconfigurable hydraulic actuators.

There's a number of technologies

that have the potential to come out of this.

We don't even know what they all are yet,

but I'm sure it will be something cool.

- And for any young makers, entrepreneurs

who have a wild idea

and are not quite sure where to start,

do you have any advice?

- Oh man,

I think it is

my advice is to just

start doing something even if it seems so small and stupid

that it's like it might not be the right way to do it,

or maybe

like you're not talking to the right people or something.

If you start doing something

people will naturally go, "Oh, what are you doing?"

And they see that you're already doing it

and they'll want to join and support you.

If you're not doing it and you just say,

"Well, I want to do this at some point,"

everyone is just gonna go like,

"Well, good luck with that."

But if they see you working and struggling,

especially if they see you struggling,

people want to help and push it forward.

So, my advice is

just start doing something,

maybe it's just a piece of that project,

but just start doing something

and that will get people to support you.

- Yeah.

Peter Diamandis was just on here talking about

his passion for his purpose

and how that's the thing that has fueled him

through 19 startups.

So definitely think so.

And so what do you hope is next for MegaBots?

- Yeah, so the grand vision of MegaBots

is definitely a full blown international sports league

on the scale of Formula One and

UFC,

mixed with the Transformers and Star Wars

storytelling potential, as well.

So I think it's really incredible

this opportunity we have to not only

be able to sell tickets to these events,

and elevate brands through sponsorship and stuff like that,

but also be able to develop

like really cool video games that people can play.

And if they're like good enough at the video game

they can become like a real life mech pilot, as well.

So there's this really interesting cross between traditional

just like video games

and science fiction franchises,

and then it crosses over into live entertainment

and sports, as well.

So a really interesting intersection of industries.

- Yeah, and it's a cool dynamic

between the virtual experience of it

and then the live battle.

- Yeah, absolutely.

- We have another question from the audience from Andrew.

Will you put a 360 degree camera inside

so that people can feel like they're driving it

in virtual reality?

- That's definitely something we get asked a lot.

So there's a lot of demand for it.

I'm sure at some point we will.

We're still putting together

all the production plans and stuff like that

for the big fight,

so I can't make any promises

if it will be in there for the duel,

but definitely something we're looking at

doing in the future, for sure.

- And in the battles are you driving the robot?

- It's two people, it'll be myself and Gui, my co-founder.

- Very cool.

Have you been training for this?

- We have.

You can see some of the videos we put on YouTube

where we pilot Eagle Prime

and go through kind of like an obstacle course

and battle field and stuff like that.

So yeah, we've been spending a lot of time

in the robots preparing.

- Are you scared?

- You know, I'm ...

You can't go into something like this

too over confident, because you'll get hurt.

So, you know, cautiously proceeding forward.

We're doing everything we can to make this safe

but still very entertaining.

So yeah,

yeah, I'm a little bit scared.

I think anyone who goes in one of these things should be.

- Should be a little scared?

- We'll do our best.

- Yeah.

And do you ever think that virtual reality

will play a role in MegaBots

in battles or beforehand?

- Yeah, I think,

I think virtual reality

is a great way to experience what it would be like

to be inside one of these robots.

So, I can for sure see

virtual reality,

maybe the MegaBots video game

is like you are inside this robot

and you are piloting this thing,

and you're looking around,

and it's the full experience.

But on the other hand, the point of MegaBots

is that these robots are not video games.

Like we took the robots from video games

and then we made them real.

They are very purposely not virtual.

So there's this intersection where it's like

it's important that we create not virtual robots,

but I think there also is that opportunity

for the video games

to be able to give everyone an experience.

- Yeah, cool.

Well thank you so much.

This has been very interesting,

and I can't wait personally to tune into the battle.

- Yep,

it's gonna be great.

Peter Diamandis | Global Summit 2017 | Singularity University - Duration: 10:29.

- Welcome back everyone.

I'm Alison Berman.

Right now, I have a very special guest,

named by Fortune Magazine,

one of the World's Fiftieth Greatest Leaders

and a really successful serial entrepreneur,

the co-founder and executive chairman

of Singularity University and Xprise,

Peter Diamandis, it's such a pleasure to have you here.

- Thank you, great to be here.

- So Peter, you have more passion and motivation

for your work than almost anyone I've ever met.

And I mean that sincerely.

- Thank you.

- What is it that sustains and fuels this level of passion?

- So that's interesting right

and I talk to people about the fact

that if you connect with your passion

and you're, as an entrepreneur,

that you can actually bulldoze down any obstacles,

you can sustain yourself through the multi-death experience

that you're gonna have.

If you're going to do anything big in the world

and so for me, I'm very lucky.

I connect with my passion as a child.

My first passion was space wipe.

It was Apollo and Star Trek that got me started

and it was this desire to wanna go into space

and this fundamental belief

that I was going to be able to be a part of that.

Right it was,

Apollo showed what was now possible.

I mean, for God's sakes, we were going to the moon.

I mean, we were on the - Yes.

- On the frigging moon

and then Star Trek showed what was going to happen

and that sort of two part just got me so excited

and I just got,

I felt early on

that I could exhibit that enthusiasm

and I started becoming an entrepreneur.

My first organization ever,

was an organization called SEJ Students

for the Exploition of Development and Space.

I started at MIT.

Jeff Bazos was running the chapter at Princeton University

and went great.

Then I started a university.

My first University, SU, a very proud

is modeled after International Space University

and so I realized I was at my best

when a few things happened

One, when I was tapped into my passion

and two; when I let it shine through.

When I gave permission for me to say

It's amazing.

We live in the most amazing world

and it's the most amazing time to be alive

and we're going to the stars.

We're extending human life span.

We're doing all these things.

- And when you say it, people feel it.

- And it's cause it's authentic.

It comes from my heart. - It is.

- And we really are living in the most extraordinary time,

so, I'm working on my 19th startup

and I've had some amazing fun adventures,

and anything I do has gotta be truly from the heart

and the soul, otherwise, I'm gonna, I'm not gonna care.

If the love isn't there, it's never gonna thrive.

- Completely.

It's like Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

You're in touch with your purpose.

- Yeah.

- And so is there a current moonshot, you're most focused on

I know at Xprise, the current competition

started by storytelling, Google (mumbles), they're amazing

but is there one you really have your focus on.

- So I have a few.

I mean, one of them, we're gonna be,

I'm going to be going on stage here at the SU Global Summit.

Those of you who are not here,

come here next year.

It's an amazing.

This is like TED for Science and Technology.

All exponentials all the time.

Su.org, check it out.

Join us okay.

I'm gonna be going back on stage

and I'm gonna be bringing on stage with me,

Chris Lewicki, who's the CEO of Planetary Resources.

Bob Richards, the CEO of Moon Express.

And Erica Wagner from Blue Origin

and so it's been great.

So I'm madly in love

with what we're doing in Planetary Resources.

We are building AI enabled deep space space craft,

that are going out to near earth asteroids

to prospect them and then mine hydrogen and oxygen from them

water and ice and fuel.

So that's great.

So space has been and always will be one of my primary FOSI

and then the other is longevity.

Opening up space is slower than I wanted it to be.

I'm gonna have to live longer than expected.

So I'm working on a couple companies

in the stem cell business.

Just launched a new company called Cellularity.

Just raised $100 million.

It's a stem cell roll up.

I believe stem cells are the means

by which we're going to extend the healthy human life span

and then I'm working in partnership with SU

on something called Abundance 360 Digital.

- [Alison] Yeah.

- And I've created a year long curriculum

for entrepreneurs who wanna follow my work,

who wanna get, you know literally day by day

teaching from me.

So my goal is, can I light up initially 10,000 entrepreneurs

My moonshot is a million entrepreneurs.

And give them the tools, the mindset, the energy,

to go out there and go big.

So anybody interested in that,

it's a360.digital.

is the website weird for that

and so I've created a year long curriculum

It's in the SU family of content,

where you continue this learning.

So ultimately, it's really about igniting entrepreneurs,

helping them shape their moon shots,

encourage their moon shots

and supporting them to go after their moon shots.

- And so speaking about the entrepreneur's journey

and you said you founded 19 companies,

has there been a moment

that was pretty challenging to overcome?

Like one you look back on

that's been an overcoming of something

that's really pivotal to your career.

- Every one of them has ...

Nothing's been easy, right.

It all looks easy a decade later.

I like to say it's a overnight success

after ten ears of hard work.

- I love that.

- And so, you look at folks like Jeff Bezos,

look at folks like Elon Musk,

they all have their incredible near death experiences.

I mean, Elon's got an amazing one

where in 2008, he's going through a divorce,

SapceX just had it's third failure,

the government is not funding anything

and he's borrowing money to survive

and then all of a sudden there's a turnaround,

so for me, in every company,

in Planetary Resources, in Xprise, and SU,

every company's got that.

And so unless, going back to our original conversation,

unless you love, love, love what you do,

and what you're doing,

unless you're driven by

that internal massively transformative purpose,

their heart and soul,

you're gonna give up before you succeed.

- The near death experience will be.

- Yeah it'll happen.

Another friend of mine, Bill Gross,

who is one of the most amazing entrepreneurs in the world,

Bill gave a great TED talk, you can look it up

and also a DLD talk which he said he looked at 200 companies

a hundred that succeed to a hundred that failed.

And he said what caused these to succeed and these to fail

and he categorized the elements

and at the end of the talk, he said,

when you look at the data, right,

always be looking at the data,

when he looked at the data,

it wasn't how much money they'd raised,

their previous experience in the successes or failure,

what technology, the size of the market.

Do yo know what it was?

It was - Their mindset?

That's part of it.

It's timing.

It was their timing.

It was that they were living long enough to live forever.

So it was Airbnb and Uber were alive just at the right time.

After 2008, when people were looking for extra income.

There had been experiments of that before that failed.

SpaceX was there after the shuttle was shut down

to take that over.

So at the end of the day,

being smart, having enough money,

having a great business plan, all that's great,

but unless the timing is there.

So one of the things I really tell people

is if you're driven by your passion,

you're gonna stick with it long enough to succeed,

- And that the time will.

- You'll intercept the right timing.

Right, so it may take you five, eight, ten years

but if you care about it,

if you love it,

if you're doing it because it's your highest calling in life

and not just because you're trying to make a quick buck,

you'll stick around long enough and intercept the timing.

- And so, you're a pioneer of abundance thinking,

the idea that technology can take what's scarce

and make it abundant.

I would say that that's an idea

that will take fundamental principle of today

and make it untrue in the future.

Is there another fundamental principle

that we currently live in

that you think technology will break in the future?

- Yeah, I think there's a number.

I think privacy is one.

- Okay.

- I think that, listen I want privacy as much as anybody

but I think we'e heading towards a post privacy economy

or post privacy world.

Why?

Because we're heading to a world

of a trillion sensors by 2020,

a hundred trillion sensors by 2030

and you know an AI watching me right now

without the volume on can read my lips, read your lips.

We're going to be able to shake you hand like this,

grab a few skin cells and sequence you

and know everything that's true about your background.

There'll be space-based drone-based imagery

imaging everything all the time

or timeless cars with light R imaging.

So it's going to be very hard to have any time

that something isn't known.

Privacy will become a fleeting element of our lives.

We're heading towards a post capitalist society

where money's going to have less and less value,

much more alike the Star Trek universe.

If I've got a molecular replicator in the future result

and I wanna print a Ferrari,

it's gonna be the raw cost of the materials,

the energy for printing and the information set.

So everything is demonetizing.

So a lot of change coming.

- Yes. - A lot of change.

- And so before we wrap.

- Yeah.

- Next generation, who is your favorite character?

- Oh God, so

- That's a hard one?

- You know I mean. listen

I head towards Bacard but he's the older bald guy, you know,

so Riker is definitely a thumbs up

and I have to, you know I love Data.

He's very

- It's hard not to.

- Yeah it's hard not to.

- Peter, thank you so much.

What a pleasure.

- Thank you. - Thank you

- A pleasure.

The Collector (Explained in a Minute) | COMIC BOOK UNIVERSITY - Duration: 1:48.

[sip]

Hey, guys, Professor Bill of Comic Book University and I'm going to explain the Collector in about a minute.

The Collector's 1st appearance was in "Avengers #28" in May of 1966 and he was created by Stan Lee and Don Heck.

The Collector is Tanleer Tivan, the sole survivor of Cygnus X-1, one of the first planets whose people evolved after the big bang.

Tanleer is one of the more tragic Elders of the Universe as both he and his wife, Matani, were the last beings from their planet.

Unlike Tanleer and the other Elders, she did not find some hobby to occupy her time, and thus, she died of apathy more than three Billion years ago.

They did have a daughter together named, Carina.

Tanleer took on the hobby of collecting rare items, artifacts, and species from around the universe.

In his musings, the Collector has seen that the universe will have a catastrophic ending.

In fact, Tanleer often experiences predictions of the future when he meditates amongst his collections.

To this end he decided to double his efforts in his collecting so as to repopulate the new universe and teach others about the universe that existed prior.

As an Elder of the Universe, the Collector is a wielder of the Primordial Power, which harnesses the energy from the big bang.

Nevertheless, The Collector has not troubled himself with perfecting his powers, not when he can afford to hire security and entire armies fully equipped with the latest technology in the universe.

He does, however, use his powers to hide his true form; that of a giant version of himself with a skull face and capable of going toe-to-toe with Thor.

His museum is his pride & joy, and serves as the hobby that grant him his immortality

and that museum spans over several planets, generating a great deal of income for Tanleer.

He is always on the lookout for new acquisitions and you never know how he'll appraise every new person he meets.

Perhaps you're the next artifact he intends to acquire.

And that's The Collector in about a minute.

Whats in my university bag? - Duration: 6:13.

hi guys so this is a what's in my university bag

I finished uni now but this is just going to be kind of the basic things that

I carried in first second and third year I did commute so I lived about an hour and

a half away so I have to go on trains and buses and the tube so this is

everything that I carried to get me from home to uni and obviously back again throughout

the day. So the bag I carried was a DC bag it's kind of like a

giant skater bag, I will show you in second, it is by DC I don't know if I said that already but it is a pretty big bag but it

carries everything and I've had it for about a year now I think it's 50 pounds

off their website but it is one of the the... well it is the best backpack that I've had

and it can carry so much weight so yes so I will just show you what I've

got inside of it. So probably the first thing you can see is my

water bottle obviously I need to carry a drink of water because I used to sometimes have like 4

hour lectures so they're pretty long and just need to have water. Obviously I haven't filled it up but I

used to take lunch to you most of the time just because it was cheaper than

going to like Pret or Starbucks or boots also because I turned vegan in I

think it was my first year of university so this is kind of just one

of the lunch boxes that I have.

It's just got a lid a little pot for dressings or something and then 4 sections, knife and fork and a big tub

I don't know how you say the brand I think it's systema

But I think I've got about three or four of their different lunch boxes because I

just love them all so much they are pretty leak proof and I just

find that they are the best quality. Next my purse, it is just a killstar purse. In there it's just got stuff like my card, my rail card, my ID my university ID

Which I've lost serval times, yep it's just a purse

I didn't have my bullet journal when I was actually at uni but I had a journal so I

just put this one in there so I didn't have it when I was in uni at all but I did

have a journal, especially in third year because of my dissertation it was

just so much easier to know the dates and when things were due and when I kind of had to plan out everything by

I fully fully recommend getting a planner or a journal

It doesn't matter if you are in 1st year or 3rd year it will help you so much and will make you feel just a little bit less anxious

Especially if you write like week 1, week 2, week 3 on each week (of the planner)

You can see what week you're in and what week things are due and stuff like that

Obviously I used to carry a notebook, I've actually got 2 in here because I am a bit extra

I've just got an A4 one which is sparkly, just normal A4 lined paper and this one which has got feathers on but it is a squared one which you can rip stuff out of

I used to go to uni quite far away and it was in London, deodorant just incase you get sweaty or gross

I've got ibuprofen and a box of paracetamol because you never know when you or anyone else will ever need the

My pencil case, which has obviously just got my pens my rubber my pencils, highlighters

I did used to like highlighting lecture slides and stuff like that

I have got this hungry hands by Zoella, just to take a hand cream in

I did used to take quite a lot of perfumed stuff, so this is the layering lab Fresh

I think it was in my August favourites, it's just a body mist which smells great

Ive got 2 pairs of headphones, this is my first pair it just an over the ear noise cancelling sony ones

And my other pair is in the top of my bag

Oh I used to carry a little bag like this which just had any feminine products in

stuff like hairbands (holding up bobby pins) hairbands? bobby pins Chloe, bobby pins, my little hairbrush,

some lip balm, some tissues some mints just kind of all the little bits you might need especially when you're travelling further away from home

I did also used to carry a book, this is the one I'm reading at the moment, into the water by Paula Hawkings

Yea just because on the train or on the busses *motor bike noise from outside* Hav e you finished?

It makes the journey, with the book it goes a lot quicker

So now its got my meal plan in but I used to take a plastic folder depending on how many different modules I

had in a day I would take the folder so then I can put lecture slides or if I

have the old lecture slides to put in there id do that and any extra note so it's all in

one place and I'd get home put it in a leaver arch folder, I think thats what its called, just so

everything's in one place and it didn't get lost and that was really helpful for revision

because I knew where everything was. Now onto the smaller pockets so I will start with the side ones

just got any other perfume which is by Eden just a lip scrub and a hair band there

And on the other side I just have a umbrella

Op no and I also have just some little clips so I can put thing together if I need to like to put on paper

Right now onto the little top compartment, I've just got a USD that my dad gave me just to put anything on just in case the internet

is not working at uni or on my phone it's just easy especially if I want to go

on the underground, my house keys, my iPod because I used to love to listen to music

because like on the underground again you wouldn't get signal or any wifi

so I would just use my iPod, I would take my phone charger and

obviously my phone but I'm recording on my phone so I can't show you that

Oh another little solid perfume from Lush, this smells like Palmer violets and it smells lovely. I've got

some change for the bus.

Oh my little in ear headphones in their pouch. Ooh another clip. I would also sometimes take my laptop it would

usually be in a case in my bag obviously just because I wanted to protect it I took

my laptop more in in third year because it was a lot easier to do my dissertation

and obviously all my research I'd also take it to do the pre reading on the train I

would kind of read a bit the night before and then continue reading it if I

haven't finished it because it kind of stayed fresh in my mind and helped me to

understand the lecture a lot more

So thats everything I used to take to uni with me, thanks for watching guys, bye!

The University of Memphis - Advice for the Class of 2021 from the Class of 2017 - Duration: 1:52.

Class of 2021, if I had any advice to give you all, I would say get involved.

That is where you get the most support to succeed in your four years of college.

Work hard, try your hardest, do your best, Go Big Blue!

Have fun, make sure you do what you are supposed to do and just enjoy college.

Do not procrastinate.

It is not fun.

It is about what you put in and how much effort you are going to put in.

There are going to be things that happen and you are going to make it through, like you

are going to get there, you are going to keep working hard, and you are going to be here

one day graduating and you are going to make it, it is going to be OK.

Go to class every day and participate.

Make connections with your professors because it will be beneficial in the long run.

Make sure that you stay on top of your studies from day one.

Do not wait until you have a test to start studying.

College is nothing like high school.

A lot of people can get by in high school without studying, college is not that way.

You have to work hard and study, and I promise you in four or so years it will pay off, so

just work hard and keep at it.

Do not come dressed like you are going to prom.

Get involved on campus, on campus activities and enjoy your time.

It goes by way too fast.

Your career starts now, not when you graduate.

Go to all the football games you can for sure, Go Tigers!

Make friends, study hard and do not stress because it is not as bad as it seems, and

just communicate with your advisors and your professors.

They understand and they are more understanding than you believe.

Do not be afraid to branch out and get to know people.

This is college, enjoy yourself, and work hard in your classes.

Now is the time to exercise discipline more than ever which is the true meaning of being

an adult and being college ready.

Nothing good ever happens after midnight, except for studying because that is always

beneficial.

What is a Family Medicine Physician? | Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center - Duration: 0:55.

A common misconception about my field is exactly what a family medicine doctor does.

So we have training in a wide age range of patients.

We do neonatal care, we do childhood care and we do adult care too.

So family medicine really encompasses that whole family dynamic and age group.

So within the family medicine clinic, we do a lot to help our patients.

We have injections, we do immunizations, vaccinations.

I am a primary care doctor so a lot of what I do is keeping people healthy.

For our young healthy females, we talk about contraception.

So I can prescribe oral contraception, we do injectable contraception and then I also

place implantable devices – that's things like the Nexplanon and the Mirena.

We also do basic skin procedures.

So we can do skin tag removal; we can do skin biopsies.

Western Sydney University vying for top prize in World Solar Challenge - Duration: 2:50.

Western Sydney University vying for top prize in World Solar Challenge

Testing of the 2017 Solar Car in the lead-up to the opening.

A TEAM of students from Western Sydney University is set to launch what it described as its "top secret" new solar powered car to compete in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in October.

It will be the third time the university has participated in the biannual challenge, which involves a 3000km drive from Darwin to Adelaide using only solar power.

The university's latest entrant will be officially launched at a special event on the Parramatta South campus tonight.

Dubbed the UNLIMITED 20, the car is the work of the university's School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics and a raft of other students who make up the Solar Car Team.

"The team have kept tight-lipped on the details of our new solar car for as long as possible, to maintain our competitive edge in the World Solar Challenge," said Project Lead Saami Bashar.

        0:06 / 1:40       Unlimited 20, set to compete in this years Bridgestone World Solar Challenge Ads by Kiosked    .

"It is exciting to finally unveil to the wider University community, as well as all of our sponsors and supporters, the final result of all of our hard work. The vehicle is reminiscent of its predecessor UNLIMITED, hence the 20 title.

The original version competed in the 2015 World Solar Challenge and crashed after a suspension failure but was hastily repaired and crossed the finishing line in tenth place out of 43 teams.

But in many ways the new edition is a bold departure from the team's previous entry, its creators say.

4m wide reincarnation has a sleek, aerodynamic and futuristic-looking design. "Our aim this year was to build the fastest car we possibly could, to put everything we have into this car to challenge for first position," Mr Bashar said.

"Our main design philosophy was to generate a very organic body shape. We've managed to eliminate the rear overhang and make the fairings much shorter and narrower, while still maintaining enough space to squeeze in the driver, mechanics and electronics.".

Grace Mitchell, the Graphics Design Lead for the team, says another departure from the previous cars was the use of paint on the exterior of UNLIMITED 20, compared to vinyl wrapping used in the past.

"Paint provides a much smoother surface, which allows the car to slip through the air with minimal disturbance. We are so pleased with the result of the paint job," she said.

The students manage every aspect of the production and design of the vehicle, as well as sponsorships, marketing and the administrative elements of their involvement in the Challenge. The race will take place on October 8 to 15.
