light tomorrow. now we have probably i m guessing now close to a million people, if not more than that, in this state without power. more than 500,000 of them are in the city of new orleans. there s no power here chld and there s lots of power out in surrounding parishes in baton rouge and places like that. so this becomes another problem. the one blessing is it s a little bit cold right now. if you ve been out in the rain with a few hours it s cold. but it s cool, we don t probably have heat issues in people s houses overnight. but this could now be three or four days. until this wind drops down to a manageable level. nobody is going out to hardly even inspect the damage or repair electrical wires. and more importantly, we ve had this so-called catastrophic event and this generation

this millions suffer from heat issues. it helps you beat the heat in style. i was living in india, deploying an industry cooling technology based on creating compact ice. my wife couldn t take the heat. i took that technology and created a beautiful cooling necklace that when you take it out of the freezer lasts for hours. i sold 3,000 on amazon and my website at $49 retail. i am looking to raise $500,000 in exchange for 10% return on investment in order to expand internationally. this is a social impact investment. over 50 million people suffer from hot flashes alone in the united states. come help me improve lives of so many people who suffer from heat. thank you. nicely done. looks like you re wearing lays.
