Elevator Pitch:
A water bottle that keeps track of much water you drink
throughout the day. People don’t usually keep track of how
much water which is not good. Water is basically the solution
everything so this water bottle will keep track of how much
water you drink and alert you if you are not drinking enough
water throughout the day. This bottle also comes with a filter
which allows you the access of dirty water which also will
filtrate the water to make the water drinkable.
Opportunity and Problem:
People will want to know how much water they are drinking and
to keep track they will need this bottle. I have noticed when I
need water sometimes I usually don’t just fill it up from
anywhere so this way if someone does need water they can get it
from anywhere and just use the removable filtrate anywhere to
make getting water easier. This bottle will help enhance the way
people drink water and if they are getting good amount of water
in a day. Since it helps keeps track people can set them self a
goal of how much they want to drink in a day or week. To help
those who are weak at drinking water and also help those who
are drinking water.
Competitors/ Status Quo
My major competitors would other water bottles out there that
keep either water hot or cold. There are so many water bottles
out there and people prefer so many types of water bottles since
there is a variety. There is also detox types of water bottle and
also water bottle where people like to just throw it out. All
these water bottle and there always going to be variety types of
people who are going to buy them.

2. Your
Solution
What makes this water bottle different is that this bottle
actually keeps track of how much water you drank throughout
the day, there would many people to buy this bottle because it
helps you drink water and makes sure you are getting a good
amount of water in a day or a week. Also this water comes with
a filter which helps filter water anywhere you need to fill your
water even if the water is not clean. This water bottle can be
universal where it can include a lot of things people ask for.
And people need to a get new water bottle they should send it
back to us and we can fix any problem and replace it with a new
one. With the one we get we can use it to recycle and make new
water bottles which helps lessen the plastic usage.
Customer/ User/ Stakeholder Impact
There will many types for customer for this bottle. I would say
mainly high school to college students and also adults. Once
people understand how much they need to drink water and how
much water helps the body people will already be attracted to
this water bottle. This is something that a large amount of

3. people use and which also is environment friendly. People who
want to keep track of how much water they need to drink and
people who forget to drink water.
Unknowns/ Challenges
Some unknown is that how helpful this water bottle will be and
will people use it for it’s purpose. How will we introduce this
into the market. How will we satisfy people's needs and we will
be different from all the water bottle? Will people be able to
spot the uniqueness of the water bottle compared to all the other
water bottle? How durable are we are make this water bottle so
it can last the person a good amount of time? Should we make a
recall for the bottle once we renovate the bottle again?

State Senator Patricia Farley on Roberson, Recall and Good
Leadership
The State of Nevada program that aired on Thursday October
12, 2017 was discussing the possible recalling of State Senator
Patricia Farley. Carrie Kaufman interviewed Senator Farley
about the recall, her experience of being in the republican
caucus, and Senator Michael Roberson’s role in the petition for
the recall. Senators Joyce Woodhouse, Nicole Cannizzaro and
Patricia Farley are all at risk of being recalled.
Senator Farley says that she does not understand the reason for
the recall campaign against her. When Farley was asked by
Kaufman if she knew who was funding the efforts for the recall
she responded by saying they do not know who is funding it,
who is behind it, or what the reasons are for it. However,
Senator Roberson was her former caucus leader before she left
the Republican party to become an Independent and she feels
that his actions before the recall demonstrate that he had a
strategy to get the senate back. Even though Senator Farley is

5. not running for re-election she is still up for recall which is a
fact she says puzzles her. She believes that the recall is part of a
campaign by the Republicans to regain control of the state
senate. Farley mentions in the interview that John Gibson, the
Secretary of State was told he had to sign the petition even
though he did not know the details of the recall but was given a
couple of reasons why. Senator Farley claims that Gibson told
her he admires her greatly and therefore she fails to see the
reason why he signed the petition. She is firmly convinced that
Roberson is responsible for this because he has publicly
supported the recall in the media as well as on social media
platforms like Twitter.
Kaufman also asks Senator Farley if anyone is saying why they
filed the petition and Farley responded with a “No”. Kaufman
then asked that if they get enough signatures then they have to
say why before the vote and Farley says yes but the bad part is
that they get to go knock on doors and they are telling
constituents that they support Senator Farley and that if they
sign the petition it will be against the recall. Farley also said
that she received calls from constituents they signed in support
of her and she had to tell them that that was not what the
petition was for. Farley then urged people that were told they
were signing in support of her to call the party back and ask to
have their signature removed from the petition. Farley stated

6. that 15-20 people called her that were “duped” into signing the
petition but she has no idea how many people meant to sign it.
Senator Farley is also concerned because if the petition goes
through it will not only cost the people of Nevada money, but
that the re-election would have to be held during the holidays.
The recall move is set to cost the state a rough estimate of
$150,000 according to the Senator but with early voting and the
need to set up poll sites this number will most likely increase.
The Senator argues that the recall is politically motivated and
will only cost taxpayers’ money and is a personal vendetta by
Senator Roberson. Farley states, “The whole recall process is
insane and that the intent of recall is for malfeasance or ethical
issues.” There is also a loss to businesses because of the
political instability in the state which is discouraging potential
investors from the state.
She believes the reason that Republicans are against the three of
them is that there is set to be redistricting and the Republicans
see this as a way of getting more of their people into the state
senate. Senator Farley says that she left the Republican caucus
because of the structure in the caucus. She states a case where
she was put in committees which met late at night by Senator
Roberson even though he knew that she was a single mother
with young kids and when asked by Kaufman if she confronted
Senator Roberson Farley stated, “Absolutely, I sent an email to

7. the entire caucus about committees meeting late, but they didn’t
say anything.” Another issue Senator Farley had was the
prevailing wage issue. She said that three was a bill that came
out that funded the schools but basically killed the prevailing
wage. Farley said the committee would have “Poison Pill Bills”
which was basically that they would tie two things together and
one would be that everyone will vote for and the poison pill
would be the piece that one side does not like. She says they
would spend a whole session doing this and that it was very
partisan and divisive and that there would be months were
decisions were not being made and this slowed down people
jobs. Kaufman asked Farley if she ever talked about the need to
stop doing poison pill on prevailing wage in the caucus. Farley
states that she tried but apparently her eighteen years in
construction and the $2,000,000 she signed in paychecks in
prevailing wage did not make her qualified. She even goes on to
say that the Assistant Majority Leader told her she was
confusing prevailing wage with material and then they stopped
talking about it with her. Farley is also asked by Kaufman
about the case of former Senator Debbie Smith. Farley tells her
that Senator Smith was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had to
attend various sessions of treatment that consumed her energy.
Senator Roberson is said to have mistreated her by scheduling
her bills for late in the evening when she was exhausted and
could not concentrate properly and if she did stay then the bills

8. would roll over to the next day. Roberson was keeping her from
fronting bills which were important to her. Her bills were about
education and these matters were close to her and Roberson
stood in her way even though the bills eventually went through.
Farley even states that Senator Smith’s family asked the
committee to stop pushing the bills that were important to her
late at night when she was tired. Senator Farley speculates on
the fact that this is also a sexist move because all the Senators
being targeted for recall are women. In the interview Kaufman
states, “There are a lot of people who say that this recall is
sexist, and that Senator Roberson is targeting strong women,
there are a lot of people who think that it’s not sexist, that it’s
just politics” and asked Senator Farley her take on that. Farley
thinks that they have to break apart the two parties. She says
republicans aren’t sexist and that there are certain people within
the party that she does not approve of their actions, but she does
not want to come across as bashing the Republican party.
Senator Farley’s point when she says there is sexism is that
when certain people get to leadership positions and there is
jealousy or inadequacy and particularly maybe against the
opposite gender you will see behaviors come out that are
destructive to the unification of a team and disadvantaging to a
gender. She believes that is what is in place with the Senate
Caucus of 2015. Farley also states that this is the first time in
the nation that Nevada is second with the number of women

9. within the legislature session and lo and behold three women
are up for recall right after that session and she thinks that says
a lot.
Senator Farley also says that she was surprised that the
Republican party was not in any way keen on keeping promises.
She cites a case where she had promised firefighters to front a
“heart and lung” bill which is basically a special workers
compensation for firefighters and police officers, but Senator
Roberson was not interested in having it passed even though she
had made the promise on behalf of the Republicans. She also
claims that the Republican showed her disrespect by telling her
how to vote without being consulted. Farley claims that women
in the legislature are being treated differently. Her opinion also
seems to not have been respected based on the fact that she is a
woman. She says that words were put in her mouth in many
situations under Roberson’s leadership and disregarded even
though she had expertise as a businesswoman. She further says
that she was more respected when she joined the Democratic
party and was given a chance to be heard.
KNPR News has reached out to State Senator Michael Roberson
to come on KNPR’s State of Nevada to respond to what Farley
has said. Senator Roberson responded with the following
statement on the Nevada Senate Republican Caucus website:
“Senator Farley has decided to end her time as a state senator
by knowingly spreading falsehoods and making outrageous

10. claims that have no basis in fact. It is sad because many women
do encounter horrible situations and work environments and
they must have their voices heard. When someone makes false
claims, it hurts all those who have legitimate issues.
Politically-motivated slander is gutter politics, it drags
everyone down, and shows the true character of an individual.”
Nevada State Senator Becky Harris also says that Michael
Roberson is a person who has shown respect for differing views.
Senator Harris says that Roberson is a strong supporter for
women in the government. Jodi Stephens who is a former
director of the Senate Republican Caucus says that Senator
Roberson has shown unprecedented effort in recruiting female
candidates into higher office. Jodi Poley who works as a
legislative assistant to Senator Michael Roberson says that he is
a class act who has never acted unprofessionally or in a sexist
way. All the supporters of Roberson seem to say that State
Senator Farley is being ridiculous in her claims.

Elevator Pitch
We help commuting students relax/nap in a nice, safe and
comfortable environment; by giving them an area located on
campus, or offering a traveling sleeping pod. The traveling pod
is for students that are constantly on the go. The pod sites are
locations on campus that offers that same incentivizes the
traveling pod does.
Opportunity/Problem
As a commuting student, I know how hard and tiring it is
making running back and forth between classes, work, and
home. My sleeping pod locations addresses the constant issues
that commuting students have. Several problems we face are,
not having a comfortable place to sit down and relax/nap. As a
working student, my days are extremely long. I commute from
South Philadelphia to Temple University – Main Campus and
Center City Campus via SEPTA. My schedule, just like many
other working/commuting students, is very hectic. I wish there
was a place on campus where I could go that I can call my own
little area. The traveling sleeping pod is kind of like a tent. The
pod folds down into a bag the size of a carry-on item. The pod
includes a memory form pillow and fleece blanket. The pod is
absolutely sound and light prof. The sleeping pod also comes
with a light just in case if the user does not want to sleep.
Competitors/Status Quo

12. I have a few competitors on the market. My competitors use
their “tents” for office reasons mostly. They market towards
white collared workers. The tents that are being purchased now
doesn’t have any current issues. My sleeping pod is a variation
and offers more than my competitors. I would like to give
universities/people the option to buy the traveling sleeping pod,
or having universities purchase stationary sleeping pods and put
them in one area for students. My competitors answer the
problem/opportunity, but my solution is more efficient.
My
