Bio-Active Pressure Filter with Green Free UV Clarifier
|The Tetra Bio-Active Pressure Filters with GreenFree UV Clarifier are designed similar and include the same benefits as the regular pressure filters. Use pumps between 2,500 - 5,000 GPH on all models 2 Year Manufacturer Warranty Pressure Filter & UV Sterilizer with easy Back Flush operation For Maximum Flow use with 1.5" ID tubing. Also fits with 1.25" ID tubing The Tetra UV Bio-Active Pressure Filter also integrates an Ultra-Violet Clarifier that provides permanent control of suspended algae which cause green water. The dome on top of the Tetra Bio-Active Pressure Filter protects the clarifier. Note: Do not use with pumps that exceed 4500 gallons per hour. This could damage the filter. Do not use pumps with flows less than 2500 gal/hr. A minimum of 2500 gallons per hour is necessary to perform the backflush operation. All pressure filters restrict the flow from your pump. Expect about a 45% reduction in the water flow through the filter.How It WorksMechanical Filtration: Pond water flows down through the bio-activators, which remove suspended debris and dirt from the water.Biological Filtration: Occurs on the massive surface areas found in the bio-activators. Beneficial bacteria will naturally colonize on the surface area and convert harmful pollutants in the water into relatively harmless nitrate, which are absorbed by the aquatic plants and from partial water changes. This is known as the "Nitrogen Cycle".Open Profile Bio-ActivatorsTetraPond's new Bio-Active Pressure Filters come equipped with open-profile bio-activators which offer superior filtration and backflush performance over closed bio-media and foam.These bio-activators have been perfected and used in the commercial aquaculture industry where demanding filtration is required due to extreme environmental conditions. The advanced technological design of the bio-activators provides a large active surface area for the beneficial bacteria to colonize.During the backflush operation, these bio-activators provide unrestricted water flow to all the surfaces so that dirt and debris are thoroughly removed while leaving the beneficial bacteria on the bio-activator surfaces intact and robust.Filtration Process Pump water from the pond to the pressure filter. Water is mechanically and biologically filtered. Filtered water is forced up the center tube. In models with a UV Clarifier, the UV light destroys the single-celled algae's ability to reproduce. Filtered water is forced under pressure to the waterfall or stream.Positioning Your Pressure FilterGeneral Installation Instructions: Position the pump far from the waterfall or stream for maximum pond circulation. Position the pressure filter anywhere around the pond. Since the discharge is under pressure, it may be located downhill from the waterfall if you choose. Connect pump to the filter with tubing. Connect filter discharge port to the waterfall with tubing.Caution: The discharge tubing ID should not be smaller than the intake tubing.Concealment Tips:The filter can be hidden behind rocks or bushes and can even be partially buried. If burying the filter, it is recommended that you place a plastic tub in the hole. This allows easier access to the latches, and makes it easier to remove the filter for winter storage. Plastic tubs are inexpensive and are widely distributed in stores selling hardware and houseware products. 20-gallon tubs are ideal for this use.Assembling the Pressure Filter for OperationBefore attaching tubing to the pressure filter, perform these simple assembly steps: Open filter lid. Remove bio-activators from vessel. (Bio-activators come in a separate plastic bag and are packed with the filter inside the sales box). Fill the filter vessel up to about 50% with pond water. Pour bio-activators in the vessel. Place lid back on and close.Note: It is very difficult to assemble the filter if the bio-activators are dry.Installation Option - Using a Tub Dig a hole about 3 in. deeper than the tub. Put a 3 in. layer of stones in the hole for drainage into the soil. Drill 4 to 8 drainage holes in bottom of tub. Place tub in the hole. Put bricks or wood blocks in bottom of tub to elevate the pressure filter to the desired height. Place stones and plants around the filter and tub to hide them.Note: If you bury the filter without a tub, the filter will be difficult to remove.Tubing AttachmentFor maximum flow, use 1-1/2 inch ID tubing. Also fits 1-1/4 inch ID tubing.TIP: For maximum flow; attach the largest tubing fitting. Use a saw to cut the filter outlet / inlet fitting(s) to match the tubing you have selected."Maturation" Of Your FilterA biological filter must undergo a period of "maturation" before it is fully efficient. During this period of time, beneficial bacteria grow and colonize on the biological filter media until the bacteria population is large enough to purify the waste in the water. The initial maturation of the filter takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks (after spring has arrived). To avoid dangerous levels of pollutants during this "maturation" period, gradually introduce the pond fish and be sure not to overfeed. Run the filter 24 hours a day.Cleaning and MaintenanceThe Backflush CycleIt usually takes less than 2 minutes to clean the filter. There is no need to open the unit or get your hands dirty. Follow these simple 5 steps (Note: Keep the pump running during the entire backflush operation): Remove the backflush cap. Turn valve to CLEAN position. Backflush for 30 seconds and then turn the valve back to POND position for 5 seconds and then back to CLEAN position until water coming out is relatively clear. Turn valve to POND position. Replace the backflush cap on port.How it backflushes The water flow is reversed and forced down the center tube. The water jets create a whirlpool effect in the bio-activator chamber. Dirt and debris is loosened from the bio-activators. Dirty water is discharged out the backflush port into the garden.A thin layer of bio-film containing beneficial bacteria will remain on the bio-activators. There is no need to replace the bio-activators. The discharged water is full of nutrients and can be used to nourish the garden plants.Tip: If the water flow still looks weak after the backflush operation, open the lid and check to see if the strainer is clogged with string algae or debris. Remove any debris that has accumulated on the cage. Be sure the vessel is about half full of water when reassembling the filter.TetraPond Bio-Active Pressure Filter with UVGreenfree UV ProcessThe Lid Closure Knobs can be opened to remove lid and gain access to the UV clarifier chamber.UV Process Provides on-going control of suspended algae that causes green water. Water is pumped from the pond. Water is forced through the bio-activators. Filtered water flows up the center tube. Single-celled algae pass by the ultraviolet light which destroys the single-celled algae's ability to reproduce. Water is returned to the pond by waterfall or stream. Dead algae cells clump and are removed by the filter.How the Greenfree UV Clarifier WorksThe TetraPond UV clarifier works by exposing single-celled algae to very high levels of Ultra Violet light as the pond water containing them is pumped through the clarifier. The water containing single-celled algae comes in close contact with the light from the UV bulb that is protected from the water by a quartz glass sleeve.The ultraviolet radiation disrupts the algae's ability to reproduce. The algae die and clump together, and then the algae can be easily removed by the bio-activators inside the pressure filter.For most ponds with normal levels of green water algae, the clearing process should take about one week. However, with thicker algal blooms this may take 2-3 weeks. The UV clarifier will reduce the growth of the algae, but water clarity is also dependent on the pond filter removing the dead algae.When installing the UV clarifier on a pond that already contains green water, the clarifying process can be rapidly accelerated by use of TetraPond Water Clarifier liquid that clumps single-celled algae and other particles together so they can easily be removed by the filter bio-activators.Unplug the UV clarifier if the pond is being treated with fish medications.The pressure filter is not for submersible use, and should not be installed inside the pond.UV Bulb InstallationCaution: Before installing bulbs, or any other service of the UV clarifier, disconnect the pump and UV clarifier from the power source.Tools Needed: Phillips Head Screwdriver, Coin, and Soft Cloth or Tissue. To install the UV bulbs, please carefully follow these steps in sequence.Disassembly Using a large coin or screwdriver turn both lid closure knobs to "open" position and remove decorative lid to gain access to UV center tube. Remove the four Phillips head screws and slowly and carefully remove the UV electrical assembly. Retain the screws for re-assembly. Remove old UV bulb. Now is a good time to inspect and clean the quartz tube. Carefully remove quartz sleeve from center tube. Be careful not to lose the two rubber O-rings. Wash off any residue on the outside of the quartz sleeve and dry the inside of the quartz tube thoroughly. Take care not to scratch the tube.Caution: Quartz sleeve must be dry inside. Wipe smudges off quartz tube if necessary.Installation of New Bulb Grasp the new UV bulb by the base, align it with the socket and press firmly into the bulb socket until a click is felt or heard. Caution: Do not touch the new bulb with bare hands. Use a clean soft cloth or tissue to handle the bulb. Wipe any dirt or smudges with clean cloth or tissue. Oil from fingers can degrade the life of the bulb.Re-Assembly Caution: Wipe any dirt or debris on or around the rubber O-ring seals. This helps maintain a water-tight seal that protects the bulb and electrical components. Position the smaller O-ring inside the recessed ring on the quartz tube. Insert quartz tube into center tube. Remove any debris and position the large O-ring inside the recessed ring around the center tube. Insert the UV electrical assembly with the new bulb into the quartz sleeve. Inspect O-ring seals by looking through clear plastic center tube cover to ensure they are seated properly and are not out of place or pinched. Secure the electrical assembly with the four Phillips head screws snuggly with a hand-held screwdriver. Do not over-tighten. Do not use a power screwdriver to avoid damage to the filter. The electrical cord should be routed between the notch in decorative lid and vessel. Use about 14 inches of electrical cord to form a loop and then secure into place with the cord retention strap in the notch. This loop will provide slack, allowing the UV electrical assembly to be removed more easily at a later date. Replace the decorative dome lid onto lid assembly. Turn both decorative lid closure knobs to "close" position.Only now can the unit be connected to an electrical source. Caution: Use only with GFCI rated electrical circuits. Please see safety instructions for details before operation.UV Viewing TubeTo see if the UV light is functioning when the clarifier is fully assembled, a blue glow can be seen from the UV viewing tube. Since the light is diffused in this clear plastic tube, the light is not harmful to the eyes.Bulb LifeFor maximum effectiveness, UV bulbs should be replaced every 8000 hours of life or every 11 months of continuous use. For water gardeners using the UV clarifiers only 5 to 6 months a year, replace the bulb every 2 years. Even though the bulb may glow after 8000 hours of use, the effectiveness has diminished.Winter CareBefore the pond ices over, the filter should be stored indoors.Caution: During the winter, the fish in the pond go through a period of rest where they become very inactive and waste production becomes very low. At this time, the filter should be emptied of water so that freezing water does not damage the unit: Do a final backflush. Disconnect plumbing. Drain excess water. Store indoors.Note: The warranty does not cover damage to the filter due to freezing water.Starting your Filter for Pond SeasonWhen starting the filter again in the spring, it will go the through the same maturation process as the first year. Be sure not to overfeed your fish in the early spring.Tips to Avoid or Minimize Green and Cloudy WaterIn addition to using a TetraPond Bio-Active Pressure Filter with GreenFree UV Clarifier, there are other things you can do to reduce green and cloudy water in the pond.Feed Fish Highly Digestible FoodsFeed often (2 to 3 times a day), but only as much as the fish will consume within 5 minutes.The Role of PlantsA well-planted pond is a great defense against water. Plants take nutrients such as nitrates from the water, depriving algae from the source it needs to live. Surface plants such as water lilies and lotuses provide additional shade to the pond, thus further reducing algae.Liquid ClarifiersUse a Water Clarifier to clump contaminants and make it easier for the bio-activators in the filter to remove them.Sludge RemovalMake sure your pond is reasonably clean by removing any sediment with a pond vacuum or a fine-mesh net. Excessive sediment containing organic material will decompose and provide nutrients for algae growth.Water ChangesChanging up to 25% of the pond water is another way of reducing nutrients which contribute to algae growth. Be sure every time you do water change to use a water conditioner to neutralize chlorine and chloramines present in tap water and that are harmful to fish.String Algae ControlUV Clarification does not control string algae (also known as blanket weed). String algae can attach itself to stones in the waterfall or stream, or on stones around the pond. It is recommended that this be physically removed by hand or with a strong spray from a hose nozzle. A fine-mesh net can be used to remove string algae once it has been dislodged from the stones.

Posted on 02/03/2013 9:47:01 AM PST by knighthawkEdited on 02/03/2013 10:07:03 AM PST by Sidebar Moderator. [history]
AFP - A Saudi preacher who raped his five-year-old daughter and tortured her to death has been sentenced to pay blood money to the mother after having served a short jail term, activists said on Saturday.
Lamia al-Ghamdi was admitted to hospital on December 25, 2011 with multiple injuries, including a crushed skull, broken ribs and left arm, extensive bruising and burns, the activists said. She died last October 22.

Anger over death of Saudi girl after father's 'beating'
If people want on or off this list, please let me know.
If people want on or off this list, please let me know.
Only one just penalty.
A bullet.
The thought of me doing this to an *adult woman* who's a *complete stranger* makes me want to puke.To do it to your own flesh and blood...your own *daughter*? The thought makes me believe that I've looked into the very fires of hell!
Yeah. Islamic laws. I believe they say that any woman who is raped should be killed, since it's basically her fault. I suppose that applies even to a five-year old, because she let her hijab down or something in her father's presence.
Never mind that he's the rapist, apparently.
Good old sharia law. Coming to a city near you.
A bullet.
Maybe a bullet after he is tortured the way he tortured his daughter (of course performed with inanimate objects like a plunger, baseball bat etc)
There's a time for * an eye for an eye* kind of justice.
This is one of them.
Those muslim animals are not nearly as smart or as sophisticated as American Liberals.
Here we just do away with 'em when their heads first pop out into the world.
Stick a pair of Homeland Approved Scissors into their little skulls, scramble their brains around a bit and, Voila! - You are rid of them.
That way you don't have to feed and clothe them for years before you kill 'em.
Yes, agreed.
Burned as he will be in Hell.
A bullet is too good for this sick f%^k. On what basis would anyone doubt the virginity of a 5 year old girl? Now getting mauled to death by wolves would be more appropriate. Of course, this is the Islamic world, so he gets off with a fine. Un-freaking-believable.
He should have to ride the Iron Mare like in the old Movie the "Vikings".
Can we please nuke Mecca, now?
Yet they wonder why we despise them and call US racist. And I don't care, muslim or no, any creature that would do something like this is less than human and should be treated as such and caged like he animals they are.
And a friend of mine keeps telling me that they're not all bad. I have a hard time getting my head around that.
That poor, poor child. The article stated her back was broken and she was raped "everywhere". The so called Father then burned her rectum shut. I'm not a violent person but would gladly put a bullet through his eye and have no issue with sleeping at night.
Eternally safe in the arms of Jesus.
"... the innocent little girl is in Heaven now".
Where she is loved by her true Father. Amen, Graybeard58.
Any doubt who the father of this religion is?
We will find
sooner or later
if Achmed'll pray
to a glowing crater
I have a very close friend tell me the same thing. I was flabbergasted and didn't even know where to begin. Apparently, in college she had a member of the saudi royal family (lower caps intentional), 13th or so from the crown, as a roommate. She had gone to visit her and was treated very well. None of the females at that time were wearing veils - this was maybe 20-25 yrs ago. Once I was able to speak, I told her that things had changed.
I had to regroup as I didn't want to lose her as a friend. She is a good person but with a severely autistic son, she doesn't have much time for current events. I asked her to change the subject and never bring it up in my presence again. I am NOT going to forward her articles or pictures. One day, she will see the light and I will be here if she needs any clarification.
Your friend is correct,
They aren all bad.
Only the one who commit acts like this,
The ones who actively support and encourage acts like this,
The ones who passively support acts like this by failing to utter so much as a peep against them.
In all of Sodom, Lot was unable to find ten good men.
Ask your friend if, in all of islam, he can find ten good men who will publicly and unequivocally stand against a father raping and murdering his own five year-old daughter in the name of islam.

A Channel 2 Action News investigation found that the State Department is sending millions of dollars to save mosques overseas. This investment has received criticism as the United States makes an effort to slash nearly $4 trillion in government spending. Plenty of outrage following the announcement made Thursday afternoon by a government commission that suggested huge cuts to the budget, including eliminating the interest education for home mortgage. This juxtaposed with United States investing millions to refurbish mosques as a good-will effort in Muslim countries has upset many taxpayer groups.
The State Department did send Channel Two Action News an e-mail saying that they are fighting Islamic extremism by building relationships with Islamic leaders.
Darwish said that most of the mosques in Egypt are run by extremists who have ordered former Muslims like herself to be killed.
Good will effort? Islamists do NOT respond to good will, the only thing that they uderstand is kill or be killed.
And here is more, making nice with those that want to kill us---lets hire them!:

Reports indicate the Obama administration is holding meetings with Islamic organizations with ties to extremist and terrorist groups and actively recruiting Muslims to work as Foreign Service officers in embassies around the world...
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
REAL prophets climb mountains to be closer to God,
they don't crawl into a hole to listen to the hissings of the Serpent!
Every time I see on TV some outrage and she's with me she'll always say well there's some good ones out there. I come back with "where?" When have you ever heard of an Islamist doing good?
Islam is a cult that worships Satan.
The Sauds are known for recruiting in prisons and the US Congress....
You are entirely to kind . Stake him out face down over an ant hill covered in sugar water ,sodomized by a electric cattle prod just for starters.
Notice how they call this Muslim pos a "preacher". I wonder if this is a subtle attempt, by the scum sucking slime bags in the media, to try and equate real preachers with Muslims? The old moral equivalent trick again.
Thus the affiliation.
Excellent observation. Many ignorant simple minded Americans who do not understand Islam can easily be manipulated to think in these terms...
There are no "preachers" in Islam.
"Notice how they call this Muslim pos a "preacher". I wonder if this is a subtle attempt, by the scum sucking slime bags in the media, to try and equate real preachers with Muslims? The old moral equivalent trick again."
Of course it is a not so subtle attempt at making Christians the perpetual bad guys. The media and others have been pushing this propaganda purposely to enhance their agenda of demoralizing, discrediting and removing Gentiles from the political power base of the USA. The media does not pretend to represent Christian America.
This is the very definition of madness.
I've never heard someone from the ME refer to an Iman as a "preacher'... I suspect you're right on this - and the motivation behind it.
The big lie that needs to be challenged is that it's just very few muslims want to oppress women, want Sharia, intolerant of other religions, hate jews, gays, hate america etc. It is claimed it's the extreme minority viewpoint.
There have already been Muslim opinion polls and the results are not shocking to anyone with a brain.
I have worked with Muslims and correctly said: all are not bad...just remember ALL have a case of lurking SJS ready to go postal at any moment..
SJS: Sudden Jihad Syndrome
Your idea would be a good one. Another good idea is the absolute ban on immigration of any males from any country that allows Sharia law to be practiced within its borders. And not one dime of foreign aid to any muzzie country.
I wonder what his punishment would be if he were to convert to Christianity...
Let's not be too harsh in our criticism.
Perhaps the girl ran around at home in short shorts and showing too much cleavage.
What is a devout muslim father to do in such a case?
Just one scenerio, Syria.
Helping the revolution so the Muslim Brotherhood can come into power.
High fiving each other on how they have saved Syria from the despot dictator.
Sending money and jets to them.
The main objective of the Muslim Brotherhood is the destruction of Israel.
And of infidels.
That's us, Obama.
Oh yeah, you know that.
The populus needs to be awakened and they will be shortly.
Usually when push comes to shove, who are the ones eliminated first? Yep, the supporters.
Hitler wooed the homosexuals and had them for his main SS guards.
When he gained absolute power, he had them all killed.
William Ayers, Obama's domestic terrorist buddy says that 25 million need to be eliminated.
We are just fodder to them, in the way of "progress."
Soaked in pork blood and applied just before the last gasp of pain from being burned alive.
Stake him down naked in feral hog territory and pour honey on his genitals.
And tape his demise with an IR camera so his islamic friends can enjoy the drama.
"just remember ALL have a case of lurking SJS ready to go postal at any moment.. "
like pit bulls. . .
Now THAT is good!
Worthless Saracen bastards.
"Notice how they call this Muslim pos a "preacher". I wonder if this is a subtle attempt, by the scum sucking slime bags in the media, to try and equate real preachers with Muslims? The old moral equivalent trick again."
Imagine the news reports if this "Preacher" were Catholic
I put in Syria, when I meant Egypt.
Isn't it amazing, seeing how obvious what the agenda/objective is here.
Just one scenerio,
Helping the revolution so the Muslim Brotherhood can come into power.
High fiving each other on how they have saved
SyriaEgypt from the despot dictator.
Sending money and jets to them.
The main objective of the Muslim Brotherhood is the destruction of Israel.
I think your friend probably grew up with a mother or father who were overly polite and taught to never say anything critical of people if you cannot say something good. Much of weak-spined America today were no doubt raised with this go-along-to-get-along upbringing.

The first of the Miami Marlins included in a 12-player blockbuster trade with the Toronto Blue Jays has broken the group's silence.
And Mark Buehrle minced no words about getting shipped to Canada one year after signing a four-year deal with Miami.
"Just like the fans in South Florida," Buehrle said in a joint statement released with his agent, Jeff Berry, "I was lied to on multiple occasions."
The trade caused backlash in the Miami area after taxpayers approved - and footed the bill for most of - a new, $634 million stadium. One year after pouring resources into the club, the Marlins pulled back in dealing Buehrle, who was signed for $58 million, along with shortstop Jose Reyes and reliever Heath Bell.
Added Berry: "In an offseason of change and uncertainty, the overriding factor in Mark's signing with Miami was Ozzie Guillen and the level of comfort his presence provided Mark and his family. Throughout the recruiting process, the Marlins made repeated assurances about their long-term commitment to Mark and his family and their long-term commitment to building a winning tradition of Marlins baseball in the new stadium.
"This is unquestionably a business, and signing with the Marlins was a calculated risk. Mark held up his end of the bargain; unfortunately, the same can't be said of the Marlins."
Earlier this week, Reyes' agent, Chris Leible, said his client was "shocked" by the trade and had been told "numerous times he wasn't going anywhere." Marlins GM Larry Beinfest said on a conference call this week that he gave Reyes and Co. no verbal assurances and if they were given, he was not "privy to them."
The blockbuster trade was finally approved by Commissioner Bud Selig on Monday, though Selig noted he'd be warily eyeing the Marlins to ensure they continue to exercise "plausible baseball judgment."

Wear Or Where?Jun 26, 2009
On May 16, we were one of the first blogs to pick up on something Governor Tim Kaine told fellow members of the Democrat National Committee, as reported in the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
I am trying to juggle two pretty challenging jobs. It's not an easy time to be a governor.
This, after assuring the public in January he could easily do both jobs. But his current humility and sought-for compassion appear in contrast to the fun he's having at someone else's expense (we don't know how much tax money is involved because he won't respond to Freedom of Information Act requests), travelling to several of the nation's hot spots — although not all of his trips are known since he hasn't disclosed his DNC itinerary, either.
Here's what he told the Florida Democrat Committee in Miami on May 30 (see video here):
We did have a good time today being here. We actually got two hours here at the pool. I mean, this (the hotel) is a nice place! I was walking out there with no shirt on and shades.
So, Governor Kaine has gone from doing his patriotic duty, to being worn down by the challenge, to having a blast pool side in Miami and other fun places, all within a few weeks. But, to be honest, he doesn't look any worse for the wear. Or should that be, "where"?
Our 2016 Summer Interns
Our 2016 Summer Interns
The Family Foundation's summer internship program has grown over the years and attracts some incredibly talented college students. This year, our 2016 intern class is bright, fun-loving, creative, driven, and faithful. With dozens of students applying for a limited number of spots, the caliber of interns continues to improve. This summer, our interns are learning about each area of the organization, from policy research to social media outreach to grassroots activism and community organizing.
One aspect of our summer internship program that continues to evolve is in Biblical worldview training and discussion. Each Friday, our interns spend several hours hearing from various experts on different issues and participate in in-depth discussions of these topics. Our goal is to continue to expand this program in future years, and I look forward to announcing more about these plans in the coming months!
I hope you'll enjoy the brief bios below and be sure to click on their names to read more about each of them:
Abbey Jessee (Development Intern; Radford University)
Abbey returns to us after interning last summer. This is her second summer interning and she is very excited to be back again. She attended Radford University and graduated in May with a degree in Marketing and a minor in Sports Administration. A fun fact about Abbey is that she has broken her arms 5 times and her foot once. Although it has been a little over a year since she's been clumsy and broken anything and her family is hoping that the streak continues!
Grace Saunders (Social Media Intern; University of South Carolina)
Grace is the Social Media Intern at TFF this summer. She will be a junior next year at the University of South Carolina, Go Cocks! She is studying Library and Information Science with the hopes of minoring in Political Science, as her dream job is to be a political analyst. Her favorite sport is tennis and she considers herself to be the next Serena Williams. Peanut Butter and Chocolate are her two top favorite foods, so the way to her heart is Reece's and Cookout Milkshakes. She obviously got the internship start date wrong because she didn't show up until a month through the internship. She is well traveled and considers herself an expert in traveling abroad. Grace probably knows more than you so she considers humility her best quality
Richard Wiley (Policy Intern; Liberty University)
Born in Jacksonville, Florida and presently living in Goochland, Virginia, Richard was drawn to The Family Foundation because of his interest in the interaction of church and state in local politics, particularly those in the Old Dominion. He was homeschooled for much of his primary education and studied with Liberty's dual enrollment program to complete high school with an associate's degree. Richard graduated with a bachelor's degree in pre-law from Liberty this spring after spending time on the University's policy debate team, moot court team, and SGA legal team.
Evan Withrow (Grassroots Intern; Christopher Newport University
Evan is an excellent candidate for the new British Prime Minister. After Britain voted to leave the EU last month, Prime Minister David Cameron decided he no longer wanted to steer Britain to its uncertain future and announced his resignation. The nation will be left looking for somebody come October and much to our excitement as the first American non-profit organization to endorse an all-American candidate for Prime Minister, Evan has agreed to act in this capacity should he be chosen, so long as he gets to keep his desk and his American accent. His experience includes, but is not limited to, diligent and faithful service to his country in his softball league for several years, two years of college education at Christopher Newport University studying communications (probably the undercover kind), and YouTube. We can't guarantee that he'll be selected by the present monarch due to a less than advantageous situation with the unionist party, but if he succeeds at gaining the position, he'll leverage technical jargon against malefactors better than Humphrey Appleby ever did.
Cameron Dominy (Elections and Grassroots Intern; Charleston Southern University)
Cameron is very much a Yankee…yet he wears Chubbies and goes to school at Charleston Southern University. Cameron is a Former Division One Javelin Thrower, but his competitive spirit carries over which is why he is currently serving as the President pro tempore for the CSU Student Government and is also the chairman of the CSU College Republicans. The South Carolina Student Legislature is lucky to have him as their chief of staff.
Introducing Abbey Jessee
Introducing Abbey Jessee
Abbey Jessee is the Development Intern at TFF this year. This is her second summer interning and she is very excited to be back again. She attended Radford University and graduated in May with a degree in Marketing and a minor in Sports Administration. One of Abbey's favorite times in college was when she had the opportunity to intern with the Radford Athletic Department as a Sports Marketing Intern. During this internship she worked with multiple sports teams doing advertising and promoting sporting events on and off campus as well promotions and student involvement during game time.
After, she graduated college she decided that while still looking for a job it would be beneficial to have another internship under her belt in order to gain a little more experience. Coming back to The Family Foundation she was excited to learn more about fundraising and all of the efforts that go into garnering donors. After this internship she would like to get a job doing event planning for corporations.
Her favorite thing to do is go to Virginia Tech football games with her family. This has been a tradition that has been going on even before she was born and she attended her first football game at 4 months old and has only missed a couple home games. Her favorite game that she has been to so far was when Virginia Tech played Ohio State at OSU and Virginia Tech won the game! The atmosphere was by far the craziest she has ever seen it and OSU was one of her favorite stadiums that she has been to. Her favorite movie is Sweet Home Alabama, but Frozen does come in as a close second. A fun fact about Abbey is that she has broken her arms 5 times and her foot once. Although it has been a little over a year since she's been clumsy and broken anything and her family is hoping that the streak continues!
Abbey is excited to see what God's plan is for her after the internship!
Introducing Cameron Dominy
Introducing Cameron Dominy
This is Cameron Dominy's second consecutive summer interning for The Family Foundation. He returns as a Grassroots intern this time around, after spending the previous year working in Elections.
A Connecticut native, Cameron's family currently resides in the Blacksburg area. For the majority of the year, he studies Political Science and History at Charleston Southern University in South Carolina. At his college, Cameron leads the on Campus College Republicans Chapter, and serves as the President pro tempore of the Student Government Association. Last year, he was elected to be the Governor of the South Carolina Student Legislature, a student run and perpetuated organization with thirteen college delegations and over one hundred representatives. He will continue to serve in that capacity until the upcoming spring semester. Following graduation from college, Cameron plans on pursuing a graduate degree in Political Science at either George Mason or William and Mary.
Cameron enjoys reading, good tea, and all things Boston sports. He finds collections of Nathaniel Hawthorne's short stories especially stimulating, and he frequently writes about current political issues. Cameron has a particular love for sarcasm, which much of his writing tends to reflect. He is also a former NCAA Division One athlete, as the threw the Javelin for Charleston Southern his Freshman year of college.
Cameron hopes that the experience and worldview training of two summers with the Virginia Family Foundation will allow him to be an effective voice for Christ across the American political system.
