Abstract: A system and method for an interactive television program is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the method includes broadcasting a presentation of a selected entrepreneur, where the presentation is to persuade viewers to invest in a particular product or service. In addition the method includes receiving a pledge from a viewer to invest in the particular product or service through an Internet, social media, mobile devices, or any combination thereof, and broadcasting results of the pledges for the particular product or service. The method also includes collecting the pledges, transmitting an investor agreement to each viewer that made a pledge when the selected entrepreneur accepts the pledge, and disbursing the pledges to the selected entrepreneur upon receiving the investor agreement executed by the viewer.

Abstract: A self-contained powered mobile articulating vacuum boom conduit having the ability to rotate 360 degrees. Said boom may be attached to or removed from a vacuum container. Said boom assembly may also contain means to provide a float shut off valve to the inlet of a vacuum source. The vacuum boom arm may be telescoped in or out, extended or retracted, raised or lowered, lid or shortened or rotated in any of 360 degrees or rotated in multiple 360 degrees rotations. Rotation is not limited by power supply sources. A linear actuators powered by a battery mounted on the boom is an example of means to articulate the boom arm. A battery-operated motor is an example of means to rotate the boom using a gear or belt with pulley. A solar panel may be used to recharge the battery.

Abstract: A vacuum hose having a bent or offset structural support means such as a bent rod attached or mounted to a flexible segment of vacuum hose in such a way so as to cause the vacuum hose suction end to move or track in a circular motion parallel to the motion of the bent or offset structural support when it is rotated. A power source such as a hydraulic motor, air motor, DC or AC motor or combustion engine may be used to rotate the bent or offset structural support means. The purpose of causing the suction end of a vacuum hose to move or track in an offset circular motion beyond the center axis of the hose is to increase the area in which the suction end of the hose is in communication.

Abstract: A vacuum container having a vacuum producing means, mounted on a vehicle, a trailer, or skid mounted with options chosen from an articulating boom, a water jetter system, a liquid pressure dissipating means, a valve actuator, a drive motor for the valve actuator being either hydraulic, air, or electric powered, a global positioning system to determine and log the position of work, service or hardware, controls and measuring devices and de-chlorinator.
