Jeffrey Robinson (born 1945) is an American author of 29 books. He has been described by the British Bankers' Association as "the world's leading financial crime author".[1][failed verification]
Early lifeEdit
Born in Long Beach, New York, Robinson is a graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia (1967). While still at school, he wrote for television and radio, including a weekly children's show, and was on the writing staff of The Mike Douglas Show, a nationally televised daily talk show. He continued working in the media during his four-year stint as an officer in the United States Air Force. Charged with running a press and public relations office for five generals at the height of the Vietnam War, he hosted a weekly talk show, scripted and directed several film projects, wrote short stories for national magazines and moonlighted as a disc jockey on local radio.[2][failed verification]
His magazine credits include Playboy, McCalls, Barron's, Gourmet, Ambassador, True, Mademoiselle, Reader's Digest and TV Guide; his newspaper credits include The New York Times;[3][4]The Washington Post, The San Francisco Examiner, The Christian Science Monitor and International Herald Tribune (for which he was a major contributor of features during the 1970s).[5][failed verification] In Britain his feature journalism has appeared in The Times, The Sunday Times, The Sunday Telegraph, Independent on Sunday and The Mail on Sunday, among others.
He moved to the UK in 1982, with more than 600 published stories and articles to his credit[citation needed], to concentrate on writing books. In 2007, he returned to New York and now divides his time between the US and the UK.
Considered "one of world's leading experts on international financial crime"[6][7][8] Robinson wrote his 1995 investigative tour de force, The Laundrymen,[9] in which he uncovered the true extent of global money laundering. The book reveals how hundreds of billions of dirty dollars are derived mainly from the drug trade, then reinvested throughout the world by otherwise legitimate businessmen, lawyers, accountants and bankers. Business Week described it as "[a]n indictment of governments and banks".[10]
Robinson scripted and hosted several television documentaries, including one for the BBC,[11][12] and another for Arte in France and Germany.[13] Both have been shown in the United States.
In 1998, he published a sequel to The Laundrymen, titled The Merger – How Organized Crime is Taking Over The World. In it, Robinson described the disturbing lengths that transnational organized criminals go in order to build multi-national corporations;[14] explained why organized crime is the major beneficiary of globalization;[15] and claimed that transnational organized criminals have become the most powerful special interest group on the planet.[16][17][18]
Five years later he published another book in this series: The Sink, about crime, terrorism and dirty money.[19][20]
Between 1986–1994, he published three biographies: Yamani – The Inside Story, about Saudi Arabia's former Minister of Oil Ahmed Zaki Yamani;[21][22] Rainier & Grace, written about and with the cooperation of Monaco's sovereign family and reissued in 2014 as Grace of Monaco after the fictionalized 2014 French biopic of Grace Kelly's life; and Bardot – Two Lives, also written with the cooperation of Brigitte Bardot.[23]
His other non-fiction titles include: The Risk Takers (his first UK best seller) which highlighted the high-fliers of City finance, recounting their tales of money, ego and power; The Minus Millionaires, a sequel to The Risk Takers, in which he wrote about 'risk takers' who had lost fortunes; The End of the American Century, for which Robinson gained access to secret archives in the former Soviet Union to reveal hidden agendas of the Cold War; The Hotel, stories gathered over five months as a fly on the wall in what is, arguably, the best hotel in the world; The Manipulators – A Conspiracy to Make Us Buy, exposing the marketing world's "hidden persuaders" 40 years after Vance Packard; and Prescription Games, an insider's view of the global pharmaceutical industry, where science and marketing are deliberately kept apart and where, all too often, profit dictates who lives and who dies.
In 2005, he wrote his first "as told to" with an old college friend, Joseph Petro: Petro's autobiography, Standing Next to History – An Agent's Life Inside the Secret Service.[24] In 2007, Robinson co-authored Ronnie Wood's autobiography, documenting Wood's years as a rock star and member of the most famous band in the world, The Rolling Stones.[25] In 2009, he published his third "as told to": Leading From The Front, co-written with British entrepreneur, Gerald Ronson.[26]
His treatise on fraud, There's a Sucker Born Every Minute – A Revelation Of Audacious Frauds, Scams, And Cons – How To Spot Them, How To Stop Them was published in 2010.[27]
The Takedown, subtitled "A Suburban Mom, A Coal Miner's Son and the Unlikely Demise of Colombia's Brutal Norte Valle Cartel", was released in August 2011.[28][29][30][31]
Jeffrey Robinson's Criminal Intent – Following The Money, the first in a series of eBooks on dirty money, crime, fraud and corruption was published in 2012.
The second book in this series, "Jeffrey Robinson's Criminal Intent – The Swiss Wash Whiter" was published in 2013.
Jeffrey Robinson has written six novels:[32] Pietrov and Other Games; The Ginger Jar; The Margin of the Bulls; The Monk's Disciples; A True and Perfect Knight (under film option); and Trump Tower.[33][34][35]
Radio and televisionEdit
Robinson has appeared on NBC News, ABC News, CNN, Fox News, BBC Breakfast, BBC Newsnight, ITN, Channel 4 News, CBC, CNBC, Sky News, BBC World, NBC's The Today Show and Bloomberg Television. He has scripted and narrated various series for BBC Radio, including one on radio stars Amos and Andy, and one on American soap operas, "Tomorrow at the Same Time".[36] He also wrote the BBC Scotland's Radio Three Drama of the Week, "Rossum's Cyber Cafe", based on the Karel Čapek play "RUR".[37]
He conceived and wrote the pilot for the British crime drama series, Tightrope, for Yorkshire Television.[citation needed] He also wrote the pilot episode for a new British series on financial crime called Follow The Money.[citation needed] Other television scripts include Sister Banjo and Notice of Claim.[citation needed] He wrote and presented a training film for financial investigators for the Metropolitan Police in London England titled "The Common Factor".[38] He has scripted a film version of his biography of Brigitte Bardot, called Bardot; and a made-for-television movie version of Standing Next to History, a dramatic re-telling of the special relationship between the president of the United States (Ronald Reagan) and his Secret Service agent (Joseph Petro), called Ronnie & Joe.[citation needed]
Robinson won the 1990 Benedictine Award as "After-Dinner Speaker of the Year".[39]

Wow. I can't believe it's been almost eight months since my last post. No, I haven't given up on the hoard or my parents. I've just had several situations come up in recent months that demanded my attention. Everything else, including the hoard, was put on the back burner.
Also, after that last trip in July, I knew I'd reached a sort of standstill. Until we get Mom's clothes off the dining room table (yes, she did load it down again), loveseat, my sister's room, and my room, I can't go any further. There's not anywhere to put things up because the clothes take up the spots where objects go. My old room is the absolute worst room in the house now. Clothes are stacked on the bed, on the floor, on top of my childhood toys, and spread across the dresser. I open the door enough to squeeze inside, but then the only room for my body is right where I'm standing. I face a wall of clothes – halfway up to the ceiling. In my parents' room, shoes are pushed under the bed but then stacked on top of each other beside the bed. I can see that many are worn and need to be tossed. Most are the same pair of black shoes (Mom's shoe of choice for work). There's a pathway about a foot wide through the room. A cedar chest is pushed against one wall, with clothes stacked up on top, of course, with the overflow on the floor beside it. The overflow is funny because it's a bunch of torn, old clothes that should be scooped up and thrown in a garbage bag. Mom's clothes are in Dad's closet, so he just throws his clothes on the corner of the closet door. Mom's closet has one long rod, maybe six feet, that is dipping in the middle from the stress of the clothes' weight. On the floor, shirts, pants, and purses are crushed together along the closet length to the height of the clothes. The extensive closet shelf holds Christmas decorations, more purses, and what looks to be empty boxes. Considering this home with the mountain of clothes, I feel as though someone has their arms around me in a vise grip and I can't break their hold on me.
This is the largest part of the hoard. The problem is my mom must be present to decide which clothes to keep or give away. And unfortunately, she doesn't have a lot of days off, and she and I end up having different off days. This is another reason I haven't worked on the hoard in eight months. A couple of weeks ago, though, we started on the closet! Seventy percent of it was her oldest clothes, dating back to the 1980s. She had no problem getting rid of them, so after we gathered them up, Dad and I started loading them in my car. Unfortunately, they wouldn't all fit. So we took a load to a thrift store and then the next day took the last load to a different thrift store. Seriously, there were so many I was afraid they would turn us away. By the end of the next day she finished sorting through the closet floor pile. Also found the cardboard box that my childhood fridge for my kitchen set came in. Strange. No one could remember putting it there. I had to come back home, so we didn't get to the shelf above the rod. Mom says she's hanging up clothes on the available rod as time permits.
Of the more current clothes, she's still keeping way more than will ever fit comfortably in the house. I consider this the first round – letting go of the older clothes that she would never wear now. On the second round, we'll work on only holding on to what meets square footage requirements. It feels great to be making progress again!

EDMONTON — More than six months after a fatal fire swept through a Quebec seniors lodge killing 32 residents, the Alberta government has yet to reveal a plan to protect thousands of vulnerable Albertans in seniors homes.
Alberta Municipal Affairs estimates as many as 455 of the province's 657 seniors facilities are not equipped with sprinkler systems and that 43 of 148 seniors lodges — many of them in small communities served by volunteer fire departments — have only one staff member working overnight.
Only 53 of the 148 lodges have sprinklers installed throughout the entire lodge; 67 have sprinklers in some common areas, kitchens or storage areas, the ministry says.
While Ontario moved before the L'Isle-Verte, Que., fire to make sprinkler systems mandatory in all its seniors facilities, Alberta Municipal Affairs says — in internal documents obtained by the Herald under freedom of information legislation — it would cost $250 million to install sprinklers in all of its facilities built before 1990, when the regulations didn't require them.
Municipal Affairs Minister Greg Weadick said five seniors lodges will be renovated and equipped with sprinklers this year, but his ministry is still working on a plan to address the backlog.
"We would like to get this done as quickly as we can," he said in an interview Tuesday.
"We know that getting the sprinklers in is a very positive development and so we're going forward as quickly as we can. As soon as we have a plan for all of that, I'll let you know."
Weadick said his ministry will be working over the next few months to determine which facilities should be equipped with sprinklers, but it would be "an incredible waste of money" to put them in buildings with a short shelf life.
"We're trying to do this in the most cost-effective manner possible as quickly as we can, disrupting the seniors the least and keeping them safe," he said.
But Irene Martin of the Alberta Senior Citizens Housing Association said Wednesday the government should have developed a fire safety strategy by now that includes a risk analysis of the seniors facilities — and the seniors who reside in them — to ensure those at the greatest risk are addressed first.
"Something has to be done and it has to be done soon," Martin said, adding that installing sprinklers at a rate of five lodges a year "doesn't really cut it."
"Would you want your mom and dad in one that isn't sprinklered?"
Martin said the province should establish a sprinkler installation fund of $20 million to $25 million annually to help lodge operators bring facilities up to the code.
"We know the government can't sink hundreds of millions of dollars into sprinklers but they could do it smartly, based on the highest priority and the highest risk," she said.
"I know a number of our members are worried and have concerns."
While Municipal Affairs estimates it would cost $250 million to install sprinkler systems, it would also cost another $3.5 million to $5 million annually to add another staff person at night to assist in the safe evacuation of seniors who have difficulty walking or can't walk.
Ministry spokeswoman Emily Woods pegged the sprinkler cost at between $150,000 to $800,000 per facility.
The ministry says applying the building code retroactively "can place significant burdens on the owners of the buildings, and in turn increase rent and other fees on the residents."
It says lodge operating costs typically exceed revenues and that enforcing fire suppression measures "may not be financially feasible to many housing operators administering government housing."
But the risks of not taking action are also clear.
Ministry documents say there have been "four significant fire events in the last three years, including three that resulted in deaths."
Ontario acted last year, even before the Jan. 23 blaze in Quebec, motivated by its own tragic history.
A January 2009 fire at a care facility in Orillia killed four. A 1995 fire in a Mississauga retirement home killed eight residents and injured 12, while a 1980 fire also in a Mississauga retirement home killed 25 seniors, according to a March 2012 report by the Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association.
The morning after the Quebec fire, Kevan Jess, Alberta Municipal Affairs chief fire administrator, expressed concerns about Alberta's risk to the ministry's standards development director, James Orr.
"My biggest fear is that we will have one of these here," he said in the memo obtained by the Herald through freedom of information legislation.
"Do you think the minister (then Ken Hughes) would have any appetite for a sprinkler refit of older lodges?"
Jess touted the value of sprinklers five days later in another memo to Orr.
"Proper detection, notification, fire separation (all maintained according to code) along with a full emergency plan regularly practised by staff and residents, along with sufficient staff to execute in the middle of the night are all good things, but they still don't suppress a fire," he noted.
"I don't want this to look like I am saying sprinklers solve everything in these facilities, but I have a hard time concluding anything other than they go a long way — with little chance of human failure screwing things up — towards the presumed goal."
Matthew Osburn, spokesman for the Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association, said sprinkler systems suppress fires and give residents time to escape.
"In Canada there has not been a multiple fatality fire in a fully sprinklered building," he said Tuesday. "It's the best system out there."
He said Ontario was able to pass legislation that requires most buildings to be retrofitted within five years because it consulted all involved parties.
"A large part of our success in getting buy-in was engaging stakeholders right from the get go," Al Suleman, Ontario's assistant deputy fire marshal, advised Jess in an e-mail obtained under the freedom of information law.
"It takes a lot of work but, as you know, timing is everything, and you will need to engage as soon as possible before the Quebec incident fades into history."
Alberta government officials and MLAs received numerous letters from seniors and their families following the Quebec fire urging the province to take action.
One senior who lived in a wood-structured, four-storey facility that wasn't equipped with sprinklers or firewalls pleaded with the ministry to make sprinklers mandatory.
"Seniors in here walk with canes and walkers," the senior wrote. "If a fire got started it would be a repeat of what happened to those seniors who died (in L'Isle-Verte)."
Liberal critic Dr. David Swann said he was shocked the province doesn't have a definitive plan to install sprinklers in seniors homes.
"I think it's irresponsible and unacceptable that in this province we're willing to roll the dice," he said.
"These are our parents and grandparents and the builders of this province. They deserve much better."
NDP critic Deron Bilous said it is "outrageous" the Tories are dragging their feet on this issue.
"They are putting many, many seniors lives at risk by putting this off," he said. "My fear is it will take another tragedy to strike in Alberta before they get moving on this."

Substance abuse is on the rise in most age and gender groups in the United States and that includes America's teen population. While certain categories of drugs have leveled off, alcohol, inhalants and prescription opiate use has continued to climb. These substances pose a serious threat to teen's health and well being.
While some experimentation has become an expected part of adolescence, occasional use can quickly turn into abuse and then addiction faster than you realize. Teens will begin engaging in alcohol and drug abuse for a variety of reasons like trying to fit in with certain groups. They may be trying to act/feel older, and some just like to chase the high because they find it exciting.Regardless of the reason, any alcohol and drug abuse among teenagers is extremely dangerous and needs to be taken very seriously.
According to the US Center for Disease Control, approximately 75 percent of teenagers have tried alcohol. More frightening is the fact that over 25 percent have recently engaged in an act of binge drinking. Alcohol related car crashes are the leading cause of death among teens and young adults in this country, so these numbers are incredibly worrisome. Over 35 percent of teens have used marijuana at least once and almost 20 percent of teens currently use it regularly.
Teen marijuana use is especially concerning as marijuana is known to cause problems with memory functions, problem-solving abilities and learning skills. Cocaine use was reported at least once by 7 percent of teens, with 3 percent using it regularly.
Cocaine is a highly addictive substance that can cause irregular heartbeats which can lead to seizures and strokes. Other substances reported to be abused by teens are inhalants like sniffing glue and gasoline, club drugs like ecstasy (MDMA) and roofies (Rohypnol,) methamphetamines, hallucinogens, opiates like heroin and morphine and prescription drugs.
These signs are not an absolute indication of alcohol and drug abuse so it's very important to talk openly to your teen. Be as supportive as you can while you address the level of their substance abuse and the appropriate treatment approach to take as a result of your findings.
Destination Hope: The Women's Program is a full service alcohol, drug and dual diagnosis treatment center for women of all ages in beautiful South Florida. We have extensive experience treating teenagers and provide the safe, gender controlled environment your child needs to comfortably recover and move past her alcohol and drug abuse. If you are concerned that your child has been abusing drugs and/or alcohol, please call one of our admissions counselors today at 866-808-7111 so we can help you guide her back to a happy and healthy life again.

I am graduated as teacher of fine arts. And it turned out that I combine my photographer's work with teaching in one of the universities of Ekaterinburg. This educational institution includes great number of teaching directions of different specialties. The school is huge and there are classrooms, which never are reached by glances of official establishment and where maintenance and change of the furniture come at last place. There, in that classrooms on the desks, as it were petroglyphs, thoughts, dreams, desires, everyday life, contemporary culture of students have been saved.
During six years I have been taking pictures of the most curious drawings on the desks. In this book you will see some of them.

Jude Law suing Murdoch tabloid Sun over hacking
(CBS/AP) First the News of the World. Now, The Sun. Jude Law is taking legal action against The Sun newspaper, claiming the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid hacked into voice mails for stories about his private life.
Pictures: UK hacking scandal's famous targets
Special section: Murdoch in crisis
Murdoch's News International strongly denies the claim, accusing the actor of "a deeply cynical and deliberately mischievous attempt" to drag The Sun into the hacking scandal that has brought down its sister paper, the News of the World.
In a statement Friday, News International said Law's allegations "have no foundation whatsoever" and vowed to vigorously fight his claim.
Law's law firm, Atkins Thomson, declined to give details of the claim, which it said "will be considered by the court in due course."
Law is also suing the News of the World. That case is due to be heard next year.

Theory over fact, not just in economics (from Wahington Monthly):
For some years now, "power transition theory" has become the dominant lens used by American scholars and policymakers to understand and predict the consequences of China's rising power.
Most readers have probably never heard of this theory, but its central assumption – that tensions between a rising and dominant power must inevitably lead to war – has deeply penetrated the national security community. In the academy and inside the Beltway, concern about the rise of China is voiced almost daily along with the expectation that its leaders will resort to force at some point in an attempt to impose their diktat on their neighbors. ... A close analysis of every war since 1648 finds that none was the result of a power transition between a rising and dominant power.
There's a link with economic wrongness, actually. If you talk to a military policy nerd, you might be shocked at the mechanical determinism of their world view. Certain outcomes are assured, if A, then B.
This is Newtonian thinking. The more we learn about the complex dynamics of the social world, the more clear it becomes that an Enlightenment world view is inadequate.
The central wrongness is causation. In Newton's world, that is, the Enlightenment world, we can predict what will happen to billiard ball B if we know a finite set of facts about the motion of billiard ball A.
But there is no set of facts about China tht will predict its future course. Non-experts understand this. It's the experts who are confused.

We have partnered with the In Focus programme of Wycliffe Bible Translators, in their work supporting the translation of the New Testament section of the Bible into the Lugwere language of the Bagwere people in eastern Uganda. This translation has now been completed and is in the final stages of publishing. The local association (LBTLA) also carries out literacy work in the community, with the additional offer of Lugwere Bible studies. This direct link with the Bagwere people means we can support the indigenous translation team. Along with seven or eight other UK churches who have partnered with this people group, we sponsored the construction of purpose built offices to advance the translation work.
We sent a small team out to Budaka in 2006 and again in September 2008, to establish personal connections and in April 2016 a small group visited again. This personal relationship is developing further and we have already been able to support some training of Pastors from Iganga and Budaka, in the understanding and interpretation of the Bible. We at BEC raised money through our 2015 Christmas Appeal, to pay for the installation of a water catchment system at the Budaka Integrated Primary School and this is now completed and operational. Prior to this system being installed, around a hundred children had to carry water in jerry cans from a community well around 1km away, every day. This took up valuable time, was hard work and led to some children regularly getting sick. The water quality of the well was also compromised and led to the need for considerable medication for the children.
With the system now operational and the tank filled by the latest rains, it has released funds previously committed to paying for water carriers and the bill for medication has been drastically reduced.
The most recent development for BEC has been the opportunity to sponsor some of the poorest children in the community through CompassionUK that partners with the Deliverance Church in Budaka, which is led by Pastor James Shaine. https://www.compassionuk.org/?gclid=CLzOsIHJos4CFYU_GwodmhEDqA

Chocolate Raspberry Beet Pudding
Serves 4
Vegan - Sugar Free - Gluten Free - Grain Free - Paleo - Soy Free
- 3 Cups Steamed Beets (about 3-4 large beets or 5-6 small beets)
- 1 Cup Raw Cacao Powder
- 1/2 Cup Non Dairy Milk (Almond, Hemp, Coconut etc)
- 3 Cups Frozen Raspberries (Cherries would be amazing!)
- 1 1/2 tbl Maple Syrup, Yacon Syrup, or a few pitted dates to taste
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
- Steam beets in a steamer over simmering water for 10-15 minutes or until a knife is easily pierced through the skin. Allow to cool.
- Once the beets are cooled rub the skins off with your hands. ( I suggest wearing gloves and doing this over the sink to prevent staining on your skin)
- Slice the beets into small pieces and place in the work bowl of a blender.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the blender and puree until smooth and creamy.
- Taste for sweetness and adjust if necessary.
If seeds bother you, heat the raspberries in a pan until softened with 2 TBL water and then mash with a fork. Strain the raspberries into the blender through a sieve to remove any seeds, pushing the solids with a spatula OR just use pitted cherries.
Carob would be a great substitute for chocolate if you have any issues with caffeine or histamines that are in raw cacao/chocolate

LOVE!Flag review
I can't say enough good about this place! My husband wants to go back and spend our whole vacation here skipping the theme parks altogether. The 2 bedroom condos give you a private bedroom, 2 bathrooms, a screened porch, full kitchen, etc. We were near the smaller pool and they are good at kicking everyone out when the pool is scheduled to close, so no trouble with late night noise. We used the grill on Labor Day. Loved the waterslides and lazy river. I had read the reviews and was expecting an uncomfortable bed but we were comfortable. I was also prepared for a small washer and dryer and limited supplies. Wal mart is within spitting distance, so it is easy to replenish if you need more laundry detergent. So is an inexpensive pizza place (CiCis I think the name was) we did have a leak on the last night and the front desk sent someone right away to fix it.
Tips for Families
Rent a car, we spoke to someone who was using their scheduled shuttle service and they said it was not convenient. No parking fees and your spot is directly in front of the condo so it is easy to load and unload the car.

Kitply Cup
The Kitply Cup, which took place in Bangladesh in June, 2008, was an exciting tri-series between India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, full of heart stopping moments and nail-biting action. It was watched by a large number of people all over the world, who eagerly flocked to their television sets to watch the three teams in action.
When the series was announced, it generated a large amount of anticipative buzz. Newspapers with rife with speculation about whether India could continue the momentum it had garnered during its earlier tri-series down under. Add in a spirited Pakistan thirsty to prove itself, and a Bangladesh team that's been known to pull off some shocking upsets, and the stage was set for a truly spectacular clash.
Being a series that was tightly packed into a week, non-stop action was guaranteed. And the teams did not disappoint. Bangladesh battled bravely, but in the end, amidst grey skies and the constant threat of rain playing spoilsport, it was the two big guns that were left standing.
The excitement that an India v/s Pakistan match generates, is unparalleled by anything else in the game. Speculation about the outcome was high, since the two sides were evenly matched, and had both been playing their best so far. Despite the fact that India had a psychological edge over their opponents, which they gained earlier in the series when they ended Pakistan's 12 ODI victory run, experts warned that the Indian team shouldn't get too complacent.
The final match was truly the icing on the Kitply Cup cake. Batting first, Pakistan's batsmen stacked up an impressive 315 runs. The Indian team's reply was equally scorching, but ran out of steam towards the end, and Pakistan emerged victorious, winning by 25 runs. The jubilant team lifted the Kitply Cup under the lights of the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, bringing the well-fought series to a satisfying close.
The Kitply Cup was more than merely a triangular series. After the T20 matches earlier in the year, there was talk about how the 50 over format of the game had lost its spark. But this series proved those rumours false, as it gripped the cricket-crazy nation in a frenzy and refused to let go.

The FHA Section 245 loan program is available to first-time or repeat homebuyers. Applicants must meet all FHA eligibility requirements. With the umbrella of the FHA insured Section 245 mortgage, lenders can grant loans to individuals or families who may not otherwise qualify for conventional loans or other FHA insured loans.
Also, with a FHA insured loan, down payments can be as low as 3 percent, allowing borrowers to finance the remaining 97 percent of the cost of the home through their mortgage. FHA approved down payment grants are available as well. Additionally, some or all of the closing costs may be financed into the mortgage, further reducing the up-front costs.
The graduated loan program is open to any family or individual who expects their annual income to rise substantially over the next five to ten years. However, borrowers must occupy the purchased home as their primary residence. The Section 245 program is not available to investors. Applications for the Section 245 graduated loan program must be made through FHA approved lending institutions.
The types of properties that are included under the Section 245 graduated mortgage plan include single-family homes, multi-family homes, manufactured homes, and some health related facilities.
Many individuals and families do not qualify for typical conventional fixed-rate mortgages, especially young and low to moderate-income families. In order to reduce the risk to a lender, FHA has developed creative methods that allow a lender to confidently approve home loans to those lesser-qualified individuals. The Section 245 graduated loan program is one of those methods that can allow a family with continually increasing incomes to live in their own home sooner than they thought possible.

hello everyone, I am new to the forums. I didnt clean my pool for like 3 weeks and now when I go to clean it the water level is lower. So I let the water run until its half way up the skimmer. I go to the pump and open up the lid because it had lost its prime. When I open the lid, the water is dark red and smells awful. I tried to backwash and just wont shoot the water out the back. I cant get the pump to get prime again. When I back wash the water just drains inside somewhere leaving just a little bit of the dirty red water. and when I turn the system off the red dirty water just returns and refills the pump. The system is really hot. the pool if green.
I have tried everything to make the pump regain prime but still nothing works. I CANT EVEN BACKWASH!!
Also, what I'm really wondering is how the heck i can drain the water thats in the pump atm???
this is a very strange problem
Specs: Sand filter and inground, outdoor pool.
I have tried to put water in the pump, and to put the hose directly in the skimmer. The thing I find strangest is the nasty smelly red water.
The most strangest problem ;(

This is. Strange problem, could be a problem with pump, filter, or multi-port valve. Sadly the best this I can suggest for. Problem this bizarre is to call a pool pro to get the problem resolved quickly and correctly.

Gerald R. Ford class (or Ford class, previously known as CVN-21 class), is a class of supercarrier being built to replace some of the United States Navy's existing Nimitz-class carriers, beginning with the delivery of CVN-78, USS Gerald R. Ford. The new vessels have a hull similar to the Nimitz carriers, but introduce technologies since developed such as the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System, as well as other design features intended to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs, including sailing with smaller crews.[N 1][8][9]

- A new nuclear reactor design (the A1B reactor) for greater power generation.
- Stealth features to reduce radar cross-section.
- The ability to carry up to 90 aircraft, including the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, Boeing EA-18G Growler, Grumman C-2 Greyhound, Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye, Lockheed Martin F-35C Lightning II, Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk helicopters, and unmanned combat aerial vehicles such as the Northrop Grumman X-47B.[12][14]
The US Navy aims to use modern equipment and extensive automation to reduce the crew size and the total cost of future aircraft carriers.[15] The biggest visible difference from earlier supercarriers will be the more aft location of the island.[16] Ships of the Ford class are intended to sustain 160 sorties per day for 30-plus days, with a surge capability of 270 sorties per day.[17][18] Director of Operational Testing Michael Gilmore has criticized the assumptions used in these forecasts as unrealistic and has indicated sortie rates similar to the 120/240 per day of the Nimitz class would be acceptable.[18][19]
The current Nimitz-class aircraft carrier in US naval service has been part of United States power projection strategy since Nimitz was commissioned in 1975. Displacing about 100,000 tons when fully loaded, a Nimitz-class carrier can steam faster than 30 knots, cruise without resupply for 90 days, and launch aircraft to strike targets hundreds of miles away.[20] The endurance of this class is exemplified by USS Theodore Roosevelt, which spent 159 days underway in support of Operation Enduring Freedom without visiting a port or being refueled.[21]
The Nimitz design has accommodated many new technologies over the decades, but it has limited ability to support the most recent technical advances. As a 2005 Rand report said, "The biggest problems facing the Nimitz class are the limited electrical power generation capability and the upgrade-driven increase in ship weight and erosion of the center-of-gravity margin needed to maintain ship stability."[22]
With these constraints in mind, the US Navy developed what was initially known as the CVN-21 program, which ultimately evolved into CVN-78, Gerald R. Ford. Improvements were made through developing technologies and more efficient design. Major design changes include a larger flight deck, improvements in weapons and material handling, a new propulsion plant design that requires fewer people to operate and maintain, and a new smaller island that has been pushed aft. Technological advances in electromagnetics have led to the development of an Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and an Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG). An integrated warfare system, the Ship Self-Defense System (SSDS), has been developed to allow the ship to more easily take on new missions. The new Dual Band Radar (DBR) combines S-band and X-band radar.[23] Flight deck changes support the requirements for a higher sortie rate, around 160 a day with surges to 270.
These advances will allow the new Gerald R. Ford–class carriers to launch 25% more sorties, generate triple the electrical power, require less time offline[clarification needed], and offer various quality-of-life improvements.[24]
Flight deck
Changes to the flight deck are the most visible differences between the Nimitz and Gerald R. Ford classes. Several sections have been altered to improve aircraft handling, storage, and flow, all in the service of increasing the sortie rate.
Catapult No. 4 on the Nimitz class cannot launch fully loaded aircraft because of a deficiency of wing clearance along the edge of the flight deck.[25] CVN-78 will have no catapult-specific restrictions on launching aircraft, but still retains four catapults, two bow and two waist.[26]
The number of aircraft lifts from hangar deck to flight deck level was reduced from four to three.
Another major change is that the smaller, redesigned island will be further aft than those of older carriers. This shift creates deck space for a centralized rearming and refueling location, and thereby reduces the number of times that an aircraft will have to be moved after landing before it can be relaunched. Fewer aircraft movements require, in turn, fewer deck hands to accomplish them, reducing the size of the ship's crew and increasing sortie rate.
As well, the movement of weapons from storage and assembly to the aircraft on the flight deck has been streamlined and accelerated. Ordnance will be moved to the centralized rearming location via relocated, higher-capacity weapons elevators that use linear motors.[27] The new path that ordnance follows does not cross any areas of aircraft movement, thereby reducing traffic problems in the hangars and on the flight deck. According to Rear Admiral Dennis M. Dwyer, these changes will make it hypothetically possible to rearm the airplanes in "minutes instead of hours".[28]
Power generation
The new Bechtel A1B reactor for the CVN 21 class is smaller and simpler, requires fewer crew, and is yet far more powerful than the Nimitz-class A4W reactor. Two reactors will be installed on each Ford-class carrier, each one capable of producing 300 MW of electricity, triple the 100 MW of each A4W.[29][30]
The propulsion and power plant of the Nimitz-class carriers was designed in the 1960s, when onboard technologies did not require the same quantity of electrical power that modern technologies do. "New technologies added to the Nimitz-class ships have generated increased demands for electricity; the current base load leaves little margin to meet expanding demands for power."[31]
Compared to the Nimitz-class reactor, the CVN 21 reactor has about half as many valves, piping, major pumps, condensers, and generators. The steam-generating system uses fewer than 200 valves and only eight pipe sizes. These improvements lead to simpler construction, reduced maintenance, and lower manpower requirements as well as to a more compact system that requires less space in the ship. The modernization of the plant led to a higher core energy density, lower demands for pumping power, a simpler construction, and the use of modern electronic controls and displays. The new plant requires just one-third the watchstanding requirements and a decrease of required maintenance.[32]
A larger power output is a major component to the integrated warfare system. Engineers took extra steps to ensure that integrating unforeseen technological advances onto a Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier would be possible. The Navy expects the Gerald R. Ford class will be part of the fleet for 90 years, until the year 2105, which means that the class must successfully accept new technology over the decades.
Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System
The Nimitz-class aircraft carriers use steam-powered catapults to launch aircraft.
The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) is more efficient, smaller, lighter, more powerful, and easier to control. Increased control means that EMALS will be able to launch heavier and lighter aircraft than the steam catapult. Also, the use of a controlled force will reduce the stress on airframes, resulting in less maintenance and a longer lifetime for the aircraft. (EMALS will not be retrofitted onto the Nimitz class, which cannot generate enough electricity to power it.)
In June 2014, the Navy completed EMALS prototype testing of 450 manned aircraft launches involving every Navy fixed-wing carrier-borne aircraft type at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst during two Aircraft Compatibility Testing (ACT) campaigns. ACT Phase 1 concluded in late 2011 following 134 launches (aircraft types comprising the F/A-18E Super Hornet, T-45C Goshawk, C-2A Greyhound, E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, and F-35C Lightning II). On completion of ACT 1, the EMALS demonstrator was reconfigured to be more representative of the actual ship configuration aboard Ford, which will use four catapults that share several energy storage and power conversion subsystems.
ACT Phase 2 began on 25 June 2013 and concluded on 6 April 2014 after a further 310 launches (including launches of the EA-18G Growler and F/A-18C Hornet, as well as another round of testing with aircraft types previously launched during Phase 1). In Phase 2, various carrier situations were simulated, including off-centre launches and planned system faults, to demonstrate that aircraft could meet end-speed and validate launch-critical reliability.[33]
EMALS was tested in June 2015.[34]
Advanced Arresting Gear landing system
Electromagnetics will also be used in the new Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) system. The current system relies on hydraulics to slow and stop a landing aircraft. While the hydraulic system is effective, as demonstrated by more than fifty years of implementation, the AAG system offers a number of improvements. The current system is unable to capture UAVs without damaging them due to extreme stresses on the airframe. UAVs do not have the necessary mass to drive the large hydraulic piston used to trap heavier, manned airplanes. By using electromagnetics the energy absorption is controlled by a turbo-electric engine. This makes the trap smoother and reduces shock on airframes. Even though the system will look the same from the flight deck as its predecessor, it will be more flexible, safe, and reliable, and will require less maintenance and manning.[35]
Sensors and self-defense systems
Another addition to the Gerald R. Ford class is an integrated Active electronically scanned array search and tracking radar system. The dual-band radar (DBR) was being developed for both the Zumwalt-class guided missile destroyers and the Ford-class aircraft carriers by Raytheon. The island can be kept smaller by replacing six to ten radar antennas with a single six-faced radar. The DBR works by combining the X band AN/SPY-3 multifunction radar with the S band Volume Search Radar (VSR) emitters, distributed into three phased arrays.[36] The S-band radar was later deleted from the Zumwalt class destroyers as a cost saving measure.[13]
The three faces dedicated to the X-band radar are responsible for low altitude tracking and radar illumination, while the other three faces dedicated to the S-band are responsible for target search and tracking regardless of weather. "Operating simultaneously over two electromagnetic frequency ranges, the DBR marks the first time this functionality has been achieved using two frequencies coordinated by a single resource manager."[23]
This new system has no moving parts, therefore minimizing maintenance and manning requirements for operation. The carrier will be armed with the Raytheon Evolved Sea Sparrow missile (ESSM), which defends against high-speed, highly maneuverable anti-ship missiles. The close-in weapon system, and the rolling airframe missile (RAM) from Raytheon and Ramsys GmbH are also on board.
The AN/SPY-3 consists of three active arrays and the Receiver/Exciter (REX) cabinets abovedecks and the Signal and Data Processor (SDP) subsystem below-decks. The VSR has a similar architecture, with the beamforming and narrowband down-conversion functionality occurring in two additional cabinets per array. A central controller (the resource manager) resides in the Data Processor (DP). The DBR is the first radar system that uses a central controller and two active-array radars operating at different frequencies. The DBR gets its power from the Common Array Power System (CAPS), which comprises Power Conversion Units (PCUs) and Power Distribution Units (PDUs). The DBR is cooled via a closed-loop cooling system called the Common Array Cooling System (CACS).[37]
The REX consists of a digital and an analog portion. The digital portion of the REX provides system-level timing and control. The analog portion contains the exciter and the receiver. The exciter is a low-amplitude and phase noise system that uses direct frequency synthesis. The radar's noise characteristics support the high clutter cancellation requirements required in the broad range of maritime operating environments that DBR will likely encounter. The direct frequency synthesis allows a wide range of pulse repetition frequencies, pulse widths, and modulation schemes to be created.
The receiver has high dynamic range to support high clutter levels caused by close returns from range-ambiguous Doppler effect waveforms. The receiver has both narrowband and wideband channels, as well as multichannel capabilities to support monopulse radar processing and sidelobe blanking. The receiver generates digital data and sends the data to the signal processors.
The DBR uses IBM commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) supercomputers to provide control and signal processing. DBR is the first radar system to use COTS systems to perform the signal processing. Using COTS systems reduces development costs and increases system reliability and maintainability.
The high-performance COTS servers perform signal analysis using radar and digital signal processing techniques, including channel equalization, clutter filtering, Doppler processing, impulse editing, and implementation of a variety of advanced electronic protect algorithms. The IBM supercomputers are installed in cabinets that provide shock and vibration isolation. The DP contains the resource manager, the tracker, and the command and control processor, which processes commands from the combat system.
The DBR utilizes a multitier, dual-band tracker, which consists of a local X band tracker, a local S band tracker, and a central tracker. The central tracker merges the local tracker data together and directs the individual-band-trackers' updates. The X band tracker is optimized for low latency to support its mission of providing defense against fast, low-flying missiles, while the VSR tracker is optimized for throughput due to the large-volume search area coverage requirements.
The combat system develops doctrine-based response recommendations based on the current tactical situation and sends the recommendations to the DBR. The combat system also has control of which modes the radar will perform. Unlike previous-generation radars, the DBR does not require an operator and has no manned display consoles. The system uses information about the current environment and doctrine from the combat system to make automated decisions, not only reducing reaction times, but also reducing the risks associated with human error. The only human interaction is for maintenance and repair activities.
The Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR) is a new design surveillance radar that is to be installed in the second Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier, John F. Kennedy, in lieu of the Dual Band radar. The America-class amphibious assault ships starting with LHA-8 and the planned LX(R) will also have this radar.[38]
The EASR suite's initial per-unit cost will be about $180 million less than the DBR, for which the estimate is about $500 million.[39]
Possible upgrades
Each new technology and design feature integrated into the Ford-class aircraft carrier improves sortie generation, manning requirements, and operational capabilities. New defense systems, such as free-electron laser directed-energy weapons, dynamic armor, and tracking systems will require more power. "Only half of the electrical power-generation capability on CVN-78 is needed to run currently planned systems, including EMALS. CVN-78 will thus have the power reserves that the Nimitz class lacks to run lasers and dynamic armor."[40] The addition of new technologies, power systems, design layout, and better control systems results in an increased sortie rate of 25% over the Nimitz-class and a 25% reduction in manpower required to operate.[41]
Breakthrough waste management technology will be deployed on Gerald R Ford. Co-developed with the Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, PyroGenesis Canada Inc., was in 2008 awarded the contract to outfit the ship with a Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS). This compact system will treat all combustible solid waste generated on board the ship. After having completed factory acceptance testing in Montreal, the system was scheduled to be shipped to the Huntington Ingalls shipyard in late 2011 for installation on the carrier.[42]
The Navy is actively developing a weapon system called the free-electron laser (FEL) to address the cruise missile threat and the swarm-boat threat against Ford-class carriers.[43][44][45][46][47] An FEL uses an electron gun to generate a stream of electrons. The electrons are then sent into a linear particle accelerator to boost them to near light speeds. The accelerated electrons are then sent into a device, known informally as a wiggler, that exposes the electrons to a transverse magnetic field, which causes the electrons to "wiggle" from side to side and release some of their energy in the form of light (photons). The photons are then bounced between mirrors and emitted as a coherent beam of laser light. To increase the efficiency of the system some electrons are then recycled to the front of the particle accelerator via an energy recovery loop. The cost to fire one shot from an FEL is about $1 and draws about 10 MW of electrical power.
3D computer-aided design
Newport News Shipbuilding used a full-scale three-dimensional product model developed in Dassault Systèmes CATIA V5 release 8 (which includes special features useful to shipbuilders[48]) to design and plan the construction of the Ford class of aircraft carriers. This enables engineers and designers to test visual integration in design, engineering, planning and construction of components and subsystems. CVN-78 is the first aircraft carrier to be designed in a full-scale 3D product model. This modeling enabled the rooms within the ship to be modular, so that future upgrades can be implemented by designers simply by swapping a box in and locking it down.
This method of designing workflow also resulted in improvements to weapon handling procedures and an increase in potential sorties-per-day. Weapons-handling paths on Nimitz-class ships were designed for the potential nuclear missions of the Cold War. The current flow of weapons from storage areas in the interior of the Nimitz-class ship to loading on aircraft involves several horizontal and vertical movements to various staging and build-up locations within the ship. These movements around the ship are time-consuming and manpower-intensive and typically involve sailors manually moving weapons loaded on carts. Also, the current locations of some of the Nimitz-class weapons elevators conflict with the flow of aircraft on the flight deck, slowing down the generation of sorties or making some elevators unusable during flight operations.
The CVN 21 class was designed to have better weapons movement paths, largely eliminating horizontal movements within the ship. Current plans call for advanced weapons elevators to move from storage areas to dedicated weapons-handling areas. Sailors would use motorized carts to move the weapons from storage to the elevators at different levels of the weapons magazines. Linear motors are being considered for the advanced weapons elevators. The elevators will also be relocated such that they will not impede aircraft operations on the flight deck. The redesign of the weapons movement paths and the location of the weapons elevators on the flight deck will reduce manpower and contribute to a much higher sortie generation rate.[49]
Planned aircraft complement
The Ford class is designed to accommodate the new Joint Strike Fighter carrier variant aircraft (F-35C), but aircraft development and testing delays have affected integration activities on CVN-78. These integration activities include testing the F-35C with CVN-78's EMALS and advanced arresting gear system and testing the ship's storage capabilities for the F-35C's lithium-ion batteries (which provide start-up and back-up power), tires, and wheels. As a result of F-35C developmental delays, the US Navy will not field the aircraft until at least 2018—one year after CVN-78 delivery. As a result, the Navy has deferred critical F-35C integration activities, which introduces risk of system incompatibilities and costly retrofits to the ship after it is delivered to the Navy.[50]
Crew accommodations
Systems that reduce crew workload have allowed the ship's company on Ford-class carriers to total only 2,600 sailors, about 600 fewer than a Nimitz-class flattop. The massive, 180-man berthing areas on the Nimitz class are replaced by 40-rack berthing areas on Ford-class carriers. The smaller berthings are quieter and the layout requires less foot traffic through other spaces.[51]
The racks are typically stacked three high, with one locker per person and extra lockers for those without storage space under their rack. The berthings do not feature modern "sit-up" racks with more headroom (each rack can only accommodate a sailor lying down). Each berthing has an associated head, including showers, vacuum-powered septic-system toilets (no urinals since the berthings are built gender-neutral)[52] and sinks to reduce travel and traffic to access those facilities. Wifi-enabled lounges are located across the passageway in separate spaces from the berthing's racks.[citation needed]
Construction began on 11 August 2005, when Northrop Grumman held a ceremonial steel cut for a 15-ton plate that will form part of a side shell unit of the carrier.[53] Construction began on components of CVN-78 in early 2007[54] and is nearing completion. It is under the final steps of construction at Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries (formerly Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding) in Newport News, Virginia. This is the only shipyard in the United States capable of building nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
In 2005, it was estimated to cost at least $8 billion excluding the $5 billion spent on research and development (though that was not expected to be representative of the cost of future members of the class).[15] A 2009 report said that Ford would cost $14 billion including research and development, and the actual cost of the carrier itself would be $9 billion.[55] The life-cycle cost per operating day of a carrier strike group (including aircraft) was estimated at $6.5 million in 2013 published by the Center for New American Security.[56]
A total of three carriers have been authorized for construction, but if the Nimitz-class carriers and Enterprise were to be replaced on a one-for-one basis, eleven carriers would be required over the life of the program. However, the last Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is not scheduled to be decommissioned until 2058.
In a speech on 6 April 2009, then Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced that the program would shift to a five-year building program so as to place it on a "more fiscally sustainable path". Such a measure would result in ten carriers after 2040.[57]
First-of-class type design changes
As construction of CVN-78 progresses, the shipbuilder is discovering first-of-class type design changes, which it will use to update the model before the follow-on ship construction. To date, several of these design changes have related to EMALS configuration changes, which have required electrical, wiring, and other changes within the ship. Although the Navy reports that these EMALS-related changes are nearing completion, it anticipates additional design changes stemming from remaining advanced arresting gear development and testing. In total, over 1,200 anticipated design changes remain to be completed (out of nearly 19,000 planned changes). According to the Navy, many of these 19,000 changes were programmed into the construction schedule early on—a result of the government's decision at contract award to introduce improvements during construction to the ship's warfare systems, which are heavily dependent on evolving commercial technologies.[50]
There was a movement by the USS America Carrier Veterans' Association to have CVN-78 named after America rather than after President Ford. Eventually, the amphibious assault ship LHA-6 was named America.
On 27 May 2011, the U.S. Department of Defense announced the name of CVN-79 would be USS John F. Kennedy.[58]
On 1 December 2012, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced that CVN-80 would be named USS Enterprise. The information was delivered during a prerecorded speech as part of the deactivation ceremony for the previous USS Enterprise (CVN-65). The future Enterprise (CVN-80) will be the ninth U.S. Navy ship to bear this name.[59]
