Campaign social media resources
Help us make New Zealand a place where all children can flourish!
We know that, every year in New Zealand there are more than 40,000 admissions to hospital of children who have illnesses that can be attributed to poverty and poor housing conditions.
We know that 28% (295,000) of all children in New Zealand experience some form of income poverty.
85,000 children live with severe deprivation.
7% of all children live in homes that are damp, cold and mouldy.
Children over the age of 13 may not get to see the doctor in time to prevent a serious health problem, because of cost barriers.
We have some of the worst statistics for child mental health and poverty in the OECD.
These are statistics that should not be seen in a developed country such as New Zealand, which has a healthy economy and plentiful resources.
Every share of a post, every tweet and every signing of a petition by the public, helps to raise awareness of the situation for many children in New Zealand, and helps to remind our policy makers of the problems that must be fixed. Conversations about child poverty must be had in order for there to be change. With your help, we can convince those who make decisions for New Zealand to overturn this blight on our nation. Ask your local MP what their policy is on healthy homes, and better incomes so they know it's the issue most important to their supporters. It's time to have a New Zealand where all children, not just some, can flourish.
Sharing our social media graphics is one great way you can help transform conversation to change.
Scroll down to see the images and some suggestions for hashtags and posts.

1. "40,000 reasons why this child deserves a home"
This graphic reinforces our ask to expand the zero fees for primary healthcare and prescriptions from the current age of 13, all the way out till a child turns 18. Teenagers have many different health needs, including for mental health. The link between poverty and mental health cannot be ignored. Too many of our teens are getting sick and not getting the help they need, when they need it because of the sudden jump to high cost healthcare.
2. "Mums boss decided to cut her hours, so the tax system decided to punish us"
Sole parents can only receive the In-Work Tax Credit portion of Working for Families (a system of tax credits designed to help low to middle income families with the additional income needs of children) if they are in 20 hours or more of paid work every week, while a couple only has to have 30 between them. Beneficiary parents do not qualify at all. Where is the recognition for the valuable work that parents do for society, in raising their children well? Or the acknowledgement that sole parents are often doing it under the hardest of circumstances.
3. "He spent the summer in the backyard. The winter as well."
There are curently 4865 households waiting for homes, a large proportion of these are families with children, who cannot afford to rent privately. Many families living in private rentals are unable to make ends meet, and may be sharing with other low-income relatives, creating a situation where there is overcrowding - an unhealthy situation for children for so many reasons. Families living in private rentals may have to scrimp on power bills in winter time just to afford rent and food. Their children are cold, and becoming sick. Other families are living in cars, garages and tents in backyards, like this little boy.
4. Simple statement: Build More State Homes
5. Simple statement: Zero Doctors fees for under 18s

Wisbech based flightcase manufacturer 5 Star has again provided a case solution for leading UK DJ equipment specialist, Pioneer.
Following the huge success of the Pro-420FLT and Pro-440FLT mini consoles, Pioneer required a custom designed case to house their latest professional DJ system, the MEP-7000 multi entertainment player and controller, which also includes a 19″ mixer such as the DJM-3000. The DJM-700 mixer can also be housed via the 19″ rack conversion.
Pioneer and 5 Star worked closely from the outset of the project to achieve a fabulous 'value added' product with numerous unique features and Pioneer branding.
Pioneer's Paul Beardsall, needed a fully integrated solution for two key design areas of the case.
Firstly they needed to house the 2U high MEP-7000 drive unit beneath a raked mixer section that would allow either a DJM-3000 or any of Pioneer's rack converted DJM-700 mixers, as well as the 3U MEP-7000 controller module.
Secondly, the case also needed space for a laptop whilst the system is operational (but not when in transit).
5 Star's Solid Edge 3D rendering and design software produced a series of accurate photo-realistic images of the proposed case. A choice of several initial concepts were then narrowed down to one specific case design. A pre-production mockup of the internal structure was produced – as the external flight case was very straightforward for 5 Star.
One challenge was getting the optimum viewing angle for the MEP-7000 controller that would allow a wide height range of potential users to access and see the controls and LCD screen.
The mockup was tweaked and a further rake added to the rear 3U controller section for shorter people, but this resulted in the viewing angle not being so good for taller operators.
A simple solution was then suggested – to incorporate a 'flip-up' multi-positional pivoting rear section – albeit a more galvanizing task for 5 Star to build into a production environment! However, after a few trials using the 3D visualisation software, 5 Star's design team came up with a unique feature, incorporating a pivoting 4U rear 'pod' just behind the mixer section. This originated from a specialist console designed and built by 5 Star for Pioneer's booth at the 2008 Pro Light & Sound exhibition in Frankfurt.
The pod has custom fabricated powder coated steel panels designed by 5 Star which were laser cut and moulded by Penn-Elcom at their Hastings plant. It incorporates ratchet stays allowing multi-positional pivoting to the desired angle, complete with a curved rear cover concealing all cabling and preventing trapped fingers!
Pioneer then requested the inclusion of two USB ports so users can hook in a laptop, external hard drives or USB 'sticks'.
5 Star added two USB ports into a 1U panel on the 4U pivoting section, also incorporating the Pioneer logo that was again laser cut into the powder coated steel.
The brief also included a laptop sitting position that could be removed for transit. Whilst most case manufacturers produce laptop mounts on a simple shelf behind the mixer, 5 Star produced something unique, again bringing 'value added' features to the Pioneer brand.
This comes as a slide-out drawer from within the internal structure, housed just above the MEP-7000 player mechanism. Simply extending this drawer allows a laptop to be placed on top – it's extremely easy to access and is situated close to the operator. 5 Star's design flare came to the fore here as well, with the drawer being easily moved to the opposite side to cater for right or left handed use.
The final unique design feature of the system case is that the DJ can select the overall position of the mixer and controller units by simply moving them around, keeping the 4U rear 'pod' flat.
Pioneer branding was incorporated throughout, via 5 Star's CNC machining facilities and screen printed logos. The external flight case continues the visual aesthetics of the Pro-440FLT case in a smart red laminate finish with all-black hardware and aluminium profiles.
"Pioneer has a great relationship with 5 Star", explains Beardsall. "We simply supply a brief for a new project and they have a remarkable ability to produce and deliver the goods. Design flare, an eye for detail and a superb production turnaround really helps gives Pioneer the edge when it comes to producing a value added system".

Following information comes courtesy of roadsideoklahoma link;
"Ritz Theater began life as the Gem Theater and was operated by Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Greever. The Gem featured a stage in front of the screen and featured interesting acts such as man vs. kangaroo boxing matches, a veteran of the Great War that had been gassed by the Germans, and entertainment legends such as Gene Autry and Smily Burnett. The theater featured both piano and organ music and delighted children with Lassie, Hopalong Cassidy, and Roy Rogers. On a more comical note, the Ritz was known for its very poor bathroom facility. Between serials, patrons would dash out of the theater to the nearby Sinclair gas station for relief. The Ritz was also kept exceptionally dark to help the brightness of the picture on the screen. The Ritz closed in the 1950s."

Xerox and GE Capital Announce U.K. and Canadian Financings
Tuesday, November 20, 2001
Press release from the issuing companySTAMFORD, Conn.--Nov. 19, 2001-- Building on their global relationship, Xerox Corporation and GE Capital announced today three major initiatives that will improve Xerox's liquidity while providing GE Capital with growth opportunities in vendor financing through Xerox's customer base. Similar to an agreement developed between the two companies for U.S. customers, Xerox and GE Capital have developed a framework for the Canadian division of GE Capital's Vendor Financial Services to become the primary source of equipment financing for Xerox customers in Canada. Upon completion of this transaction, Xerox will transition its Canadian customer administration operations into a separate Canadian venture that will be jointly supervised but owned and managed by GE Capital Vendor Financial Services. The companies agreed to the principal terms of a financing arrangement under which GE Capital Canada will provide Xerox with about $350 million, secured by portions of Xerox's lease receivables in Canada. The framework arrangement and financing announced today are subject to Canadian regulatory approval, negotiation of definitive agreements and satisfaction of closing conditions, including completion of due diligence. GE Capital and Xerox also completed an agreement for GE Capital's European Equipment Finance business to provide Xerox with approximately $450 million. This financing is secured by Xerox's lease receivables in the United Kingdom, as was the funding GE Capital provided Xerox earlier this year, which has been substantially repaid. It is expected that Xerox will receive the $450 million this week. The U.K. financing amortizes over a period that extends into 2003. In related news, the companies said that the closing on the initial funding of the U.S. financing agreement announced in September is expected this week. When completed, Xerox will receive approximately $825 million from GE Capital, secured by portions of Xerox's U.S. lease receivables. GE Capital will provide Xerox with additional financing next month and in February 2002. The amounts will be determined primarily by equipment sales in the fourth quarter. In total, these financing arrangements are expected to exceed $1 billion, amortizing over a period that extends into 2004. "By expanding our relationship with GE Capital, Xerox customers with operations in the U.S., Canada or both countries will benefit from access to consistent and flexible financing services and administrative support,'' said Barry D. Romeril, Xerox chief financial officer. "At the same time, it moves Xerox closer toward its goal of transitioning equipment financing to external partners - a key element of Xerox's turnaround strategy that is transforming our balance sheet by reducing debt and strengthening liquidity.'' "Our agreement with Xerox is developing into a global, long-term relationship that exemplifies our commitment to providing innovative financing programs that allow companies and their customers to better concentrate on their core businesses,'' said Bill Cary, chief executive officer of GE Capital Vendor Financial Services. "Our goal is to bring greater value and efficiencies to Xerox and their customers through our leasing expertise and the application of the latest technology and Six Sigma quality processes.'' Last year, Xerox announced it would move to third-party equipment financing as part of the company's strategy to restore its financial strength and return to profitability. Over time, this is expected to remove as much as $10 billion in financing-related debt from the Xerox balance sheet. About 65 percent of Xerox's total debt is related to equipment financing; more than half of that is from the U.S. and Canada.

text: In my playing, I realize that I am the rhythm of the song. At least in church where I play. Bass is rhythm, drums is beat, organ is harmony. Without the bass, there really isn't that much rhythm, aside from the beat of the drums. There have been times when I was playing that I abandoned playing rhythm to play a melodic content, but after a few seconds, the song felt empty and I quickly returned back to my rightful role as the rhythm. My question is, where does melodic bass playing fit into a song, if we are the rhythm section?

Bhubaneswar: The growing focus on climate change and rising air pollution in the city has caused the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) to undertake a number of smart initiatives to improve of the city. One of the key recommendations from a consultation with e-vehicle manufacturers in this regard is creating an ecosystem for electric vehicles in the city.
As a part of this programme, a stakeholder consultation workshop was organised on Thursday. It was chaired by the Additional Municipal Commissioner Mansi Nimbhal and the participants included senior officials from Bhubaneswar Development Authority, the Regional Transport Office, Town Planning Office, and the Central Electricity Supply Utility (CESU).
The private sector was represented by electric vehicle manufacturers and operators such as Mahindra, Kinetic and Lohia and cab aggregators such as Ola. The auto-rickshaw union representatives also attended.
The representatives expressed their concerns in creating the electric vehicle ecosystem, including the high-cost of battery, lack of charging infrastructure in the city and the difficulty in obtaining financing for these vehicles.
For this, BMC is working with the International Finance Corporation (a part of the World Bank) and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP to identify recommendations to promote electric vehicles in Bhubaneswar. This assignment is a part of the EU-IFC's Eco-cities program to promote sustainable development for urban areas within India.
Some of the measures suggested by the stakeholders included identification of routes for electric rickshaws to operate on, business models for setting up of charging infrastructure, subsidized electricity tariff for charging vehicles and convenient licensing procedures.
The meeting concluded with the BMC planning to set up a high-level steering committee consisting of senior urban and transport officials to prepare a comprehensive policy for electric vehicles in the state.

text: We've been going swimming in the new pool quite regularly in the past month. Kabir is much more confident and has started putting his head down into the water to "breathe". Its amazing how kids naturally learn that its faster to swim this way when given sufficient time to explore. We play a game when we hold hands and go underwater and see who can hold the breath longer. He beats me a lot of the time! He has also started enjoying back floating with the help of his kick board. But now that the monsoons are officially here since yesterday (yay!), I'm not sure how often we'll visit the pool. Incidentally, I've also taken Anurag to the pool a couple of times this summer. But given how little it takes for him to fall sick, I'm being far more careful with him.

Some of my most recent work.
These are a sample of my commissioned work. I am always keen to work with clients to create a unique piece.
I was artist in residence at the 2015 Exmouth Festival amd I am booked to sketch and teach during the 2016 festival.
This pictorial map of Devon was commissioned by the Royal Devon and Exeter hospital in 2013. It is currently sited in the Ashburn and Yealm ward as a visual aid to dementia patients. Prints are available now in my shop.
This was my first book aimed at adults and children, reflecting an emotional and spiritual journey through creativity. The V&A have a copy of this book in their collection.
I was recently approached to contribute an illuminated letter T for a narrative by Phillip Reeves entitled "The Exeter Riddles". The finished book was beautifully bound and illustrated by Joanne Radford.
These fantastic handbound, signed, limited edition books were auctioned for charity.

Bhagiratha or Bhagīratha(भगीरथ) was a great king in Hindu mythology who brought the River Ganga to Earth. Bhagiratha was the king of Kosala, a kingdom in ancient India. He was a descendent of the great king Sagara of the Suryavansh. He was one of the forefathers of Lord Rama. He lost his father when he was just a child, and was raised by his mother. Bhagiratha was very intelligent, virtuous and kind hearted. When he came of age, Bhagiratha ascended to the throne of the kingdom of Kosala, today located in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. He was a pious, benevolent ruler who adhered to his duties as a king as prescribed by dharma.
Bringing the Ganga to Earth
When king Sagara chose to perform the Ashwamedha yagna, his royal agents lost track of the sacrificial horse. Sagara ordered his sixty thousand sons by Sumati to track down the horse. The proud and mercurial princes raged across Bharat, burning down forests and uprooting life and property to find the horse. They finally arrived at a quiet spot where the Sage Kapila was sitting in meditation. Besides him was tied the white horse. The enraged princes condemned Kapila as a thief and attacked him. Using his terrible mystic power, Kapila instantly turned the princes into ashes. Another version has it that the horse was stolen by a jealous Indra who did not want the yagna to succeed, and hid it in cave where sage Kapila was meditating in order to escape being accused of the stealth.
Kapila told the prince Anshuman, Sagara's other son who had come looking both for the horse and his brothers, that the only way for the souls of the dead princes could rise to heaven would be through the offering of niravapanjali with the water of the sacred Ganga river, which was flowing only in Swarga.
Bhagiratha's tapasya
Bringing Ganga back to Earth was a near impossible task and required many years to be spent in tapasya and prayer. The Kosala kings of successive generations could not do this while managing their duties as kings. As a result, the sins of the thousand princes multiplied in their destructive energy, and began resulting in natural disasters. The kingdom began to lose its peace and prosperity, and by the time Bhagiratha ascended the throne, he found it impossible to attempt to govern in this situation, that had only one solution.
Turning over the kingdom to trusted ministers, Bhagiratha set off to the Himalayas to perform an arduous tapasya in the extreme climate. For one thousand years, he performed an excruciatingly harsh penance to please Lord Brahma. At the end of the thousand years, Brahma came to him and told him to ask for anything. Bhagiratha asked Brahma to bring down the river Ganga to earth so that he may perform the ceremony for his ancestors.
Brahma asked Bhagiratha to propitiate Lord Shiva, for only He would be able to break the Ganga's fall. It was the largest river, and it would be impossible for anyone save Him to contain the destructive impact of this event. Bhagiratha performed a tapasya for Lord Shiva, living only on air. The compassionate Shiva appeared only after a year's penance, and told Bhagiratha he should not have to perform tapasya to accomplish a noble goal such as this. He assured Bhagiratha that he would break Ganga's fall.
Ganga's fall
After eons of being flattered and praised by the Devas, Ganga had become vain. She scoffed at Brahma when He asked her to flow down to earth, but could not disobey him as he was her father.
But Ganga was sure, as much as Bhagiratha was afraid that no one could stop her fall, which would devastate the earth for a long time. As she cascaded across and down from Swarga, Bhagiratha and celestial observers were terrified of the roar and volume of water coming down. But Lord Shiva appeared from out of nowhere and captured all of Ganga just as she launched herself onto earth, in His jata.
Ganga struggled to set herself free, but Shiva could not be budged. Bhagiratha worshipped Shiva, who let Ganga free after crushing her vanity. She flowed, and is still believed to flow, from Shiva's jata down to earth at a gentler pace.
Establishment of the river
King Bhagiratha led the way for Ganga on his chariot, and she followed him across the north and east of Bharat and finally merging with the ocean. In her course she washed the ashes of Sagara's sixty thousand sons, who ascended to heaven while praising and blessing Bhagiratha.
For its descent to Earth being owed to Bhagiratha's efforts, Ganga is also known as Bhagirathi (daughter of Bhagiratha) as proclaimed by Lord Brahma. Bhagiratha's own great effort was praised by all the Gods and his ancestors, and is known as a Bhagiratha Prayatna, as proclaimed by Lord Brahma. It is a great inspiration to any man who seeks to do something noble despite facing overwhelming odds.

In a broad new assessment of the status and prospects of solar photovoltaic technology, MIT researchers say that it is "one of the few renewable, low-carbon resources with both the scalability and the technological maturity to meet ever-growing global demand for electricity."
Use of solar photovoltaics has been growing at a phenomenal rate: Worldwide installed capacity has seen sustained growth averaging 43 percent per year since 2000. To evaluate the prospects for sustaining such growth, the MIT researchers look at possible constraints on materials availability, and propose a system for evaluating the many competing approaches to improved solar-cell performance.
The analysis is presented in the journal Energy & Environmental Science; a broader analysis of solar technology, economics, and policy will be incorporated in a forthcoming assessment of the future of solar energy by the MIT Energy Initiative.
The team comprised MIT professors Vladimir Bulović, Tonio Buonassisi, and Robert Jaffe, and graduate students Joel Jean and Patrick Brown. One useful factor in making meaningful comparisons among new photovoltaic technologies, they conclude, is the complexity of the light-absorbing material.
The report divides the many technologies under development into three broad classes: wafer-based cells, which include traditional crystalline silicon, as well as alternatives such as gallium arsenide; commercial thin-film cells, including cadmium telluride and amorphous silicon; and emerging thin-film technologies, which include perovskites, organic materials, dye-sensitized solar cells, and quantum dots.
With the recent evolution of solar technology, says Jean, the paper's lead author, it's important to have a uniform framework for assessment. It may be time, he says, to re-examine the traditional classification of these technologies, generally into three areas: silicon wafer-based cells, thin-film cells, and "exotic" technologies with high theoretical efficiencies.
"We'd like to build on the conventional framework," says Jean, a doctoral student in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. "We're seeking a more consistent way to think about the wide range of current photovoltaic technologies and to evaluate them for potential applications. In this study, we chose to evaluate all relevant technologies based on their material complexity."
Under this scheme, traditional silicon — a single-element crystalline material — is the simplest material. While crystalline silicon is a mature technology with advantages including high efficiency, proven reliability, and no material scarcity constraints, it also has inherent limitations: Silicon is not especially efficient at absorbing light, and solar panels based on silicon cells tend to be rigid and heavy. At the other end of the spectrum are perovskites, organics, and colloidal quantum dots, which are "highly complex materials, but can be much simpler to process," Jean says.
The authors make clear that their definition of material complexity as a key parameter for comparison does not imply any equivalency with complexity of manufacturing. On the contrary, while silicon is the simplest solar-cell material, silicon wafer and cell production is complex and expensive, requiring extraordinary purity and high temperatures.
By contrast, while some complex nanomaterials involve intricate molecular structures, such materials can be deposited quickly and at low temperatures onto flexible substrates. Nanomaterial-based cells could even be transparent to visible light, which could open up new applications and enable seamless integration into windows and other surfaces. The authors caution, however, that the conversion efficiency and long-term stability of these complex emerging technologies is still relatively low. As they write in the paper: "The road to broad acceptance of these new technologies in conventional solar markets is inevitably long, although the unique qualities of these evolving solar technologies — lightweight, paper-thin, transparent — could open entirely new markets, accelerating their adoption."
The study does caution that the large-scale deployment of some of today's thin-film technologies, such as cadmium telluride and copper indium gallium diselenide, may be severely constrained by the amount of rare materials that they require. The study highlights the need for novel thin-film technologies that are based on Earth-abundant materials.
The study identifies three themes for future research and development. The first is increasing the power-conversion efficiency of emerging photovoltaic technologies and commercial modules.
A second research theme is reducing the amount of material needed per cell. Thinner, more flexible films and substrates could reduce cell weight and cost, potentially opening the door to new approaches to photovoltaic module design.
A third important research theme is reducing the complexity and cost of manufacturing. Here the researchers emphasize the importance of eliminating expensive, high-temperature processing, and encouraging the adoption of roll-to-roll coating processes for rapid, large-scale manufacturing of emerging thin-film technologies.
"We've looked at a number of key metrics for different applications," Jean says. "We don't want to rule out any of the technologies," he says — but by providing a unified framework for comparison, he says, the researchers hope to make it easier for people to make decisions about the best technologies for a given application.
Martin Green, a professor at the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics at the University of New South Wales who was not involved in this work, says the MIT team has produced "some interesting new insights and observations." He says the paper's main significance "lies in the attempt to take a unifying look at the issues involved in choosing between PV technologies."
"The issues involved are complex," Green adds, "and the authors abstain from betting on any particular PV technology."

Just keep in mind that along with complexity comes an increase in cost. A far more cost effective, much higher performance technology exists today that does not require this complexity.
It's called "double sided solar panels". Their incredibly high 94.3% PTC to STC performance ratio places then in the top 1/4 percent of all solar modules that are currently available on today's market. They also offer a heat resistant -0.28%/degree C temperature coefficient for better performance in warm/hot climates. And a bone chilling minus 60 degree C extreme cold temperature rating. And when it comes to a home's curb appeal, nothing even comes close to the aesthetics of these double sided glass on glass, see through, frameless construction.

The most complex structure in the upper right of the illustration shows a quantum dot. That happens to be a Tetrapod Quantum Dot and only one company can mass produced those in a quantity sufficient to support use in solar cells, Quantum Materials Corp. if you invest you may want to look into this company, the ticker is QTMM.

The success of Photovoltics in US,Germany and in some countries of Europe is quite difficult from countries like India. Most of the Solar cells used in India are of low efficiency to contain the cost. Apart from that there are major projects coming up in Rajasthan which is a desert are with little water sources. On the other hand during summer Loo,sand storm blows. Nobody carried out a study on the effect of these fast travelling sand particles on the smooth solar panels surface. While choosing the big solar energy projects in desert areas,the closure of DESERTEC giant solar project should be kept in mind. May be growing of CAM plants like Agave and Opuntia on the borders and in large gaps of solar panels will help to draw water from atmosphere

JPods networks will begin deploying this year. These networks provide a 10x reduction in energy per passenger-mile. Deploying a megawatt of solar collection over each mile of rail gathers about 40,000 vehicle-miles of power per mile per day. Solar assures stable energy supplies as oil supply shocks become ever more likely. The 10x efficiency gain is amplified by the 6X Net Energy advantage solar has over fracked oil.
This demand will create a stable demand for many technologies to scale to commercial viability.

Communally sharing larger grids placed in area for maximum solar absorption, hooked up to a central system could generate power to individual and group dwellings.Solar power like wind power can be sent to specific destinations and stored. The conductive materials should be coated with an abrasive adhesive to eliminate possible ruptures. Conductive lines need to be encased with thermal insulated materials

A few years ago now I wrote a blog on Armando Montelongo from A&E's Flip This House. If you have not read it or remember reading it...you might want to check it out http://activerain.com/blogsview/436444/Remember-Armando-Montelongo-from it's a pretty lively and engaging topic.
At any rate, since that time I've received several letters from folks who have attended his seminars. Here now is one such letter and my response to her...I have removed the Sender's email information for their personal privacy and safety.
In closing, I would be interested in knowing if others have any similar experiences while attending these types of seminars. Please share so that others can benefit from your experiences.

Mr Elliott, i went to one of the seminars that Armando was supposed to be teaching last night in Greensboro, NC. Well, after everybody got there they announced that Armando was not there but his VP was going to tell us about his class. This guy was very straight forward about but everything but he really didn't tell us anything about this class. He showed us about a preforeclosed house and how they got that (Armando's Company) and then turned around and sold that house to somebody and made thousands of dollars. He kept on telling us if we were not interested in making money to leave and started cussing like a sailor. To me this was not a classy way of doing a seminar. They us if our phone's rung we would be charged 100.00 for that so turn our damn phones off. I am 57 years old and but the way this guy talked to us was awful. He would call people out by name and made us feel like we were lowly people. It was awful, toward the end of the seminar he even told 2 ladies to leave they didn't need to be there. He talked awful to them, they finally got up and walked out. At then end he was pushing Armando's class which was almost $4500.00 to get into but last night only he was selling it for $1500.00. People that DID NOT have the money got up and signed up 7 to be exact. He made the rest of us feel like low lifes. I finally told him i for one didn't have $1500.00 for the class. He had mine as well told me to get out. I have not been to a seminar before but i will not go to another one. I just wanted you to know about this one. It was awful and one more thing we heard at 40-50 times how him and Armando was millionares and they didn't need to work a regular job. I was sick of hearing that too, if i had thought about it i would of asked him why he was there teaching a class if he didn't need the money.
