Top airlines flying Honolulu to Colorado Springs
American AirlinesOverall score based on 46162 reviews
Cons: "Service and media"
Read more about American Airlines
Cons: "Feed me"
Pros: "Crew was good and mostly attentive."
Cons: "Had to move seat three times because the audio/video didn't work in my seat. Was very frustrating"
Cons: "DO NOT FLY AMERICAN AIRLINES DURING A PANDEMIC. They were not keeping folks distanced from each other, they did not make sure that all the passengers had masks (I understand that people might take them off in flight briefly to drink etc but there were people that walked right on without masks on at all) The flight was FULL. They did a full drink/snack down the aisle thing ensuring that everyone packed into that small space would all be taking off their masks at the same time (if they still had it on in the first place). I did not feel safe at all."
Cons: "Less crowded."
Pros: "I got there safe!"
Cons: "I f plane had slowed downed during turbulence."
Pros: "I got an unexpected box lunch. Food was good. Thanks."
Cons: "Seats were cramped. A little more elbow room would be welcome."
Cons: "The flight had an emergency oxygen failure an hour into the flight, so we had to turn around and go back to the departure city for 4 hours. Extremely annoying on an overnight flight."
Pros: "On Time Departure / Early Arrival. Pleasant Crew"
Pros: "The trip started off poorly with a day delay and rebooking hotel and car at final destination. Not to mention our final destination is San Antonio not Phoenix. We were not rebooked for a flight from PHX to SAT. But after a few hours we were finally booked. We didn't really appreciate the 7 hour layover at 0100 in the morning and nowhere to get a meal or even coffee. However, the flight had the same crew from the night prior and they were excellent. The flight was open so we were able to get more leg room, less waiting time for the bathroom, and pretty much one on one service from our flight attendants. With all the struggle in the beginning, this particular flight was actually the best flight I have been on."
Cons: "We were ok with the hotel and meal vouchers however, again, the only part of our itinerary looked at was the first flight, not the second into SAT. Had we not questioned the agent, we would have been stuck in PHX with no room, no car, and if we eventually would have gotten a flight, our reservations for car and hotel in SAT would have been cancelled and I would have been out $1700. I already lost money but it could have been worse. Basically, I am paying for a car and room that I am not currently in. Reimbursement for that would have been nice. Either way we will still travel using the travel service and this particular airline in the future."
Pros: "It was a safe flight back to the Phoenix thank you."
Cons: "More ethical vegan options."
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "They at least need to have TVs in aircraft. I felt United was better service wise and aircraft wise."
Pros: "Smallest seats of any airline I've recently traveled on"
Pros: "The flight was good."
Cons: "The seat size could be bigger, and the layover was awful. Sixteen hours is unheard of."
Pros: "The crew was great. No leg room, seats and isles were too narrow. Had a soggy turkey wrap both going to and coming from Honolulu. It was not what I expected from AA. Will not fly AA again on a long haul."
Cons: "Everything!"
Cons: "The entire entertainment system was down the entire 6 hour flight. Crew attempted to reboot the system several times with no luck."
Cons: "To many delays."
Pros: "Good entertainment. Gate agents friendly and efficient"
Pros: "Friendly attendants"
Pros: "Everything went smooth and fast"
Cons: "N/a"
Pros: "Great service and sweet attendants"
Cons: "Person next to me was a little large and it was uncomfortable."
Cons: "Delayed for mechanical."
Pros: "I loved the attitude and helpful approach of the female flight attendant working the AA gate for the flight I took from DFW to COS last night (6/13). Truthfully, it was almost like I was back with Southwest. She was kind, calm, polite, efficient, and capable. Very rare in my experience with American Airlines yesterday. Interacting with her was refreshing."
Cons: "Getting home to Colorado Springs at 11:30 PM, taxiing for 15-20 minutes, and then waiting another 20-30 for checked luggage! Never have I waited that long during and after a Southwest flight! AA could truly learn something from their more modest counterpart. I have all but decided to resume my drives to Denver every other week rather than risk more and more time and poor experiences with AA flying in-and-out of Colorado Springs."
Pros: "Comfortable, fast check in, nice staff, arrived a little early, great timing. Will fly AA again"
Pros: "Everyone was nice"
Cons: "No gluten free snacks. Flight was late"
Pros: "Flight was smooth, on time. Modern plane. Got the sense that careful aircraft maintenance is always a high priority. Courteous attendants. Large choice of movies."
Cons: "Blankets but no pillows on this long red-eye. We need a pillow! Wrap was a bit doughy. no choices."
Pros: "Efficient, nice crew."
Cons: "Seats were rock hard. Terrible situation for a long flight."
Pros: "Great service"
Pros: "Staff is friendly and helpful, great attitudes"
Cons: "My initial flight time was changed to a longer layover for some reason. Which.. spending 6 hours in an airport is just not ideal"
Pros: "The flight crew did a good job."
Cons: "Throughout the boarding process, my spouse and I had a seat and pre-check, until we got to the airport and we were told they don't know why, but our pre-check was "dropped" so we needed to be rechecked in. What wasn't told to us was we would lose our seats and be put on the bottom of a waiting list. We were able to board bc other passengers did not show up, however we no longer had our seat preference, so I had a middle seat, although I'm a service member with a left knee issue so my seat needs to be an isle one. Also, there were no food choices that did not account for my allergy."
Pros: "On time departure and arrival."
Cons: "No own movie screen for a 6 hour flight. No snack/ nuts with drinks"
Cons: "My luggage was inexplicably placed on a later flight which arrived an hour after my flight arrived."
Cons: "I arrived at HNL nearly 2 hours before my flight. The check-in procedures at HNL were very poor. There were not enough operating machines to help passengers check-in. In fact, there appeared to be more non-functioning machines .than working ones which created a huge backlog of passengers. We then had to wait in another long line to have our bagged checked and boarded. This was one of the worse situations I've seen in a very long time."
Cons: "Employees seemed like they didn't like working for American. Flight was delayed and nobody informed us about it until it was past the past the boarding time. Missed connecting flight and booked on flight 5 hours past original departure time. Sat in an aisle seat and stewardess kept bumping my arms."
Cons: "Flight was overbooked"
Cons: "Agent at gate said overhead compartments were all full and no more room for any bag. So I had to check in my carry on luggage . To my surprise, there had many open space when I walked in the plane. The worst thing was my brand new suitcase was torn. I told the luggage agent the incident and she said they had no liability what so ever."
Cons: "Flight was delayed 8hours"
Pros: "I liked that the internet connection was free because I am a T-Mobile customer."
Cons: "Boarding the plane was a bit clumsy. I felt like everyone was tripping over each other since the front of the plane was boarding first."
Pros: "We didn't crash."
Cons: "No safety briefing for infants, rude gate staff, primitive fleet, terrible customer service at all levels."
Cons: "My seat was broken and wouldn't recline very much at all."
Pros: "The entertainment was a new release movie - liked that. The food was okay."
Cons: "Seats not comfortable, especially for a 7 hour trip! My tray table broke and would not close. I informed a stewardess and she apologized for the inconvenience and did her best to duct tape it shut (twice). It's an old plane, I would not recommend for a flight more than 2 hours. Wasn't greeted at boarding. Had to interrupt staff to ask which side of plane I should walk down to get to my seat. I paid extra for 12th row - waste of money!"
Pros: "Nonstop flight"
Cons: "Nothing special about American. Boarding process doesn't make sense. People crowd the gate during boarding. Aircraft cabin is outdated. Would love to see, at minimum, power outlets for each seat. Cabin was frigid, does it need to be that cold?!"
Cons: "They canceled my ticket for no reason"
Pros: "The crew was wonderful and movie selection was excellent. They did not provide headphones however. Boo."
Pros: "I loved that the on demand movies were free! The time went by so fast!"
Cons: "I didn't like that it said Alaska Airlines but it was really American so I ran 4 terminals and had to go through agricultural inspection twice. The guy at the counter didn't want me to check in my bag because it was 58 mins before my flight. The lady at the station really helped me and let me check my bag."
Cons: "No room, small seats and no food"
Cons: "The wifi did not work and we were not offered any food, and the beverage choice was only water or coffee. Very old plane with broken seats."
Pros: "TV and on time flight"
Cons: "Space"
Pros: "Free Meal was a welcomed surprise. Very smooth flight."
Cons: "Except for one gentleman the rest were kind of surly flight attendants. No personal video system. Old plane."
Pros: "N/A"
Cons: "It took so long for me to leave this airport. I got there around 11:30pm and my flight wasn't till around 9:45am the next day and so when it came to that time they had cancelled my flight so I got another ticked for around 2pm and they didn't board that flight till around 4:30. My experience there was to much to handle. I was supposed to get to Colorado Friday night but didn't even get here time Saturday afternoon. Really upsetted me because I leave wednsday so I don't have enough time to be with my boyfriend. I honestly don't think I'll be flying American Airlines again"
Pros: "Large plane, quiet ride."
Cons: "Staff was rude to my wife and very useless. Our bags were dropped off together, but only one made it home. We still don't have the missing luggage."
Cons: "Flight delayed by 3 hrs"
Pros: "Good trip and on time"
Cons: "Extremely crowded, uncomfortably so"
Pros: "The crew was friendly, and the flight time was an hour shorter than scheduled. But those are silver linings to real problems I encountered."
Cons: "This flight was actually from Denver to Kona. There was 1.5 hour delay due to mechanical issue with plane, so we had to switch gates and planes. That wasn't so bad. What made it bad was an extra 45 minute delay because apparently maintenance forgot to sign off on the new plane. Also, the space below the seat for my feet and carry-on was unacceptable. All the aisle seats like mine had only half the space of the window seats for their feet. If you're in an aisle seat on that plane, it's impossible to fit anything but the size of a small purse under the seat in front of you. And the middle seat fares only a bit better. Finally, with 7 hours of flight time plus about an hour waiting to depart from gate on plane, the crew ignorantly decided to hand out the Hawaii form to fill out within 2 minutes of preparing to land. Many people didn't have time to fill out the form before being required to put tray tables up. Fortunately, these forms aren't as serious as going thru customs, but it's stupid to pass out the forms that late into the flight expecting people to complete them."
Pros: "U it's has Increasingly gotten worse since merging with Continental. They squeeze you in their planes like cattle. They service is horrible and more importantly the crew members are worse acting like it's a chore to do their job."
Cons: "Most of the flight."
Cons: "It was operated by United Airlines. Absolutely no food oe entertainment, limited comfort."
Pros: "I liked that they provided blankets and complimentary drinks."
Cons: "They didn't provide entertainment properly, you needed to have the United app downloaded ahead of time if you wanted to see any movies. All food was made for purchase they did not offer any free food."
Pros: "Excellent flight"
Cons: "At check in time being told I needed a eta visa to enter Canada!"
Cons: "The flight ran out of eggs so my breakfast was only fruit and a yogurt but honestly with that being the worst thing that happened I will take it."
Cons: "The delay"
Pros: "Love the little blanket. I think people who take the red-eye realize It will just be dozing, that no real sleep is possible."
Cons: "Like I said earlier, coffee in any form would have been greatly appreciated."
Cons: "Your employees are all RUDE !!!"
Cons: "It was united airlines not ana airlines"
Cons: "Change of seat w/o any notification."
Pros: "Checked on carry on for no charge"
Cons: "Seating"
Pros: "The crew onboard the United flights were very friendly and capable. Plus I downloaded the United app and was able to watch any show I could think of but Landed on Westworld, cause I can never catch-up."
Cons: "Virtually no food included on an $800 dollar 5 hr flight. I even upgraded economy elite. In the equivalent range Alaskan gives a very nice fo-meal in a box. Finally, I arrived for my flight from San Luis Obispo an hour and 45 minutes early and stood in line to check my small bag for the first 45 minutes. At which point the desk agent made the announcement she would no longer take bags. Luckily my bag was small enough to be considered a carry on so I just went to security. I don't know what people with large bags behind me did? then it takes another 45 mins to get through security at which point they see my 5 inch knife on X-ray machine. Which I packed 3 days earlier when I planned to check my bag. Lost the knife, fine, my fault, goodbye favorite pocket knife. but now I am randomly selected for explosives LOL by TSA. I get to the gate the gate agent scans a ticket for the person infront of me. I step up and the same gate agent puts her hand over the scanner and says sorry it is late!? There were 6 other people behind me and this is a 22 person plane. So I still not upset walk back out of the security area because TSA closes the area in between flights and call United. They get me on the next flight out and rescheduled my following flight only a 3 hour wait. An hour goes by and the first desk agent, they have been holding the first flight because enough people aren't onboard. SLB is a joke."
Cons: "Flight got cancelled, stuck for an extra day in Honolulu. United put me in a hotel for the night, but I have to check out at 11am and the new flight doesn't leave until 8:40pm. So now I'm just supposed to sit around the airport for 9 hours? Plus last night they told me all the other flights were full. But my girlfriend called this morning and also checked online and there was an earlier flight at 7am, that would have still got me to Denver tonight. and there WAS availability on it, but since I got different information from different people, time ran out and I couldn't get on that one. So I lose an entire day of my trip, and have to cancel the appointments I had scheduled in Denver for today. Plus the expense of having to find food in Honolulu for a day. So...yay united. Once again, you're awesome."
Cons: "The most rude staff I've ever encountered, at least at the HNL airport. Movies didn't work"
Pros: "Smooth flight"
Cons: "In flight features such as wifi and private viewing wasnt working an i specifically choose united because of this feature"
Cons: "Seating and maybe some different reading material"
Cons: "Too crowded."
Cons: "Everything"
Pros: "Boarding was on time and crews helpful and accommodating."
Cons: "A parent with 2 yr old was placed in the middle seat where the toddler cried throughout the whole flight. Father had to constantly ask me to get up so he can take the son to the back of the plane to console him. It was an overnight flight from HNL to SFO so i didn't get any rest at all. Maybe parents with toddlers should be seated on aisle seats."
Pros: "Everything was good"
Cons: "None"
Pros: "Loved that United gave us TSA Pre check...."
Cons: "Limited food options on board"
Pros: "Despite the lack of entertainment options, the ability to upgrade to economy plus made my flight comfortable."
Cons: "No entertainment on board, and you need a plugin installed on your mobile device to make their streaming service work, which I didn't have."
Pros: "Smooth flying. The pilot did a good job. 1"
Cons: "1. At checkin, the counter person wanted to charge us for a bassinet! We've had over 40 flights in 13 months and this is the first time any checkin person tried to charge for the bassinet. 2. My daughter was sleeping on my lap so I couldn't get up. I repeatedly pressed the call button for a tissue. They didn't come until the cart came. She refused to give me a tissue and told me to get some from the bathroom. Clearly, I couldn't get up bc of my sleeping baby. Finally another flight attendant gave me some when she gave me a glass of water."
Pros: "Quick boarding/deplaning and super friendly flight attendants"
Cons: "The flight was cancelled so I'm on stand by for who knows when"
Pros: "The viewing entertainment was excellent as well as the audio. It held my interest all evening."
Cons: "I didn't like the fact during our entire flight we where not offered free snacks. I went to the to the rear of the plane to order a drink. I didn't take my credit card with me. She gave me the drink but told me I had to come back and pay. I found the stewards to be very lazy."
Pros: "Flew on Delta Airlines"
Cons: "Had to run to Delta and barely made that connection."
Pros: "Nothing special!"
Cons: "You have to pay for food! It should have been included w/ the fair!"
Pros: "The plane was a newer version so we could watch movies up close and personal, although I'd prefer the option to stop or pause the movie and also to choose to watch whenever I feel like it, like on the Lufthansa planes... those are great! Many choices and full control to pause or start whenever one likes to..."
Cons: "One of the flight attendants wasn't the friendliest, a bit of a "humph" attitude..."
Pros: "Larger plane, great comfort. Nice staff!"
Cons: "You have to pay for wifi, nothing to look at during flight."
Cons: "Uncomfortable seats."
Pros: "We arrived, and were on time."
Cons: "The following points would be totally ok for a 50 Minute business flight, but not to a 5.5h flight to Hawaii. - Luggage costs extra $25 per direction. This amounts to additional 10% of the total costs. Does anyone not take checked luggage to Hawaii? - The lunch was a savory snack. Really, because a sandwich is too expensive? - Entertainment needs to be purchased extra. Use your existing Directv subscription? Of course not. - Power socket underneath the seat - good idea. One that actually works? Oh wait."
Cons: "Wifi unavailable HNL>LAX"
Pros: "Very comfortable seats and great flight crew!"
Cons: "Had to take a different flight"
Pros: "The flight was smooth. And the wine was good."
Cons: "I paid for 2 round trip tickets and because my son was not there for the first leg, they resold the seat. So they got my money and the other person's money for the same seat. I wanted both seats and paid for both seats. It is theft and should not be allowed. The flight attendant was extremely rude and dismissive. It is a poor practice. You could have at least asked first before rebooking the seat. At least have offered compensation or something. I probably would have said yes Anyway. It's the principle of the process being wrong to the consumer which only benefits the corporation."
Pros: "Everything was perfect"
Cons: "Boarding was 15-20 minutes late, no one at the counter. Bumpy flight due to turbulence due to weather."
Cons: "Everything is charged"
Cons: "Boarding long lines in Honolulu"
Pros: "Not a thing"
Cons: "The plane got almost 1/2 way to SFO before having to return to honolulu bc they didn't have enough fuel. We spent 5 hrs in the air over th pacific for nothing and wasted a while day of our life. No weather issues, no mechanical issues, just they didn't have enough fuel widen it turned out there were strong headwinds."
Cons: "Cramped and overcrowded"
Pros: "The only thing good was the flight attendants were very nice and accommodating"
Cons: "No free food or alcohol. This is the first international flight that I flew that didn't offer free food and alcohol. Never flying United again"

The beauty of the "why-this, try this" approach with dementia patients is that it starts working the very second you decide to use it.
How many times can one man take apart and try to repair an old clock? You can't imagine.
Or maybe you can, if you're dealing with Alzheimer's or another dementia.
Over and over in a single day, my dad would carefully take the antique off the wall, remove its back and sometimes a part or two, frown, leave the mess, and walk away.
What didn't solve the problem: Pointing out, "Dad, you already did that!" or saying, "Leave it alone; it's fine!" Or just getting mad.
If someone in your life has dementia, curious behaviors are sure to follow.
Repetitive actions. Repetitive comments or questions. Losing track of tools, glasses, threads of conversation.
Doing nonsensical things—at least, things that seem not to make sense to us, like hoarding, wandering, shadowing, skin picking, resisting help, hitting, talking to the mirror, wearing inappropriate clothing, and all the rest.
You might, as a result, feel annoyed or frustrated. You might also be exhausted, frightened, or overwhelmed.
I've seen this firsthand. Five of my family members have had forms of dementia. What's more, as a dementia-care educator and health journalist, I've been privileged to interview scores of leading experts (doctors, therapists, social workers, advocates) on best coping practices.
From all of these experiences, I've learned two simple words that can be life-changing when dealing with someone who has dementia: why and try.
Together, "why" and "try" can transform the way you live with the many irritating behaviors of cognitive impairment—and the effects they have on you.
Before you respond (and that includes sighing, snapping, arguing, or fantasizing about running away from home), pause to consider why the person may be doing what he or she is doing. With dementia, behavior almost always has meaning. It's a reaction to a set of circumstances.
It is critical, before anything else, to think about the context.
What is it about the disease, the person's state of mind or body, or the particular situation that might be contributing to what he or she is saying or doing?
It's almost never intentional meanness or out-to-get-you stubbornness.
There may be one simple trigger or multiple things going on.
You can then use that insight to consider the best ways to respond. You can't change the fact of the disease itself.
You can, however, find clues about the situation to change things that you can influence: the setting, who's there, your reaction, what happens before and after, and so on.
There's seldom one single "right" solution to a challenging behavior or situation. There are usually a variety of things you can try until you hit on something that works.
Once you start the habit of thinking in a "why-this, try-this" way, you can get "unstuck" from unproductive responses that get you nowhere or make things worse.
You can head off trouble at the earliest signs. You can stretch your patience the tiniest bit farther.
Some of the relentless stress will ease up a bit, and in turn you'll pass on less stress to the person with dementia.
Stress is contagious, after all. Best of all, you'll find it easier to maintain a calm, supportive, and less contentious relationship with the person who has dementia.
"But how to know what's going on or what to do?"
The beauty of the "why-this, try this" approach is that it starts working the very second you decide to use it.
Simply hitting pause and remembering that there is a "WHY" puts a little essential distance between the problem and you. It's so easy to take dementia behaviors personally and lose your patience or your temper. After all, we're often the receiver (or the target) of what can be distressing, embarrassing, annoying, or, let's face it, seem downright mean.
Recognizing that there's a "why" refocuses these complicated feelings back to the right spot: on the disease. It's not willful behavior on your loved one's part. It's not neglectful or insufficient behavior on your part.
Asking "why?" reminds you that the issue has begun deep in the brain of the person with dementia.
This makes it easier to "try" a way to deal. You'll find you react in a way that's less emotional, more constructive. And fortunately, there are many possible solutions to most situations—many different ideas you can try.
Let's go back to The Case of the Broken Clock.
Tired of picking up the pieces and putting them back together over and over, I tried to figure out why my dad was so fixated on it. He wasn't using the wall clock to tell time; he wore a watch that he was obsessed with.
That's when it dawned on me that he passed the clock on his way from his favorite easy chair to the bathroom—and he used the bathroom many, many times a day. Each trip, he'd see that the clock time didn't match his watch, which triggered his impulse to fix it.
A former mechanical engineer and life-long Mr. Fixit, this was a strong urge. But his moderate-stage dementia meant he no longer had the wherewithal to follow the complicated series of steps involved: Open the back, see the problem, identify the needed tool, figure out where the tool is and fetch it, and so on. Even if I'd helped him locate the tool, he wouldn't have been able to use it.
Solution: Take the clock down! Interrupt the trigger by removing it from his view. After I did this, he never once asked, "Hey, where's that broken clock I need to fix?" It was out of sight, out of mind.
* Refusing to bathe or shower: Possible "whys" include modesty and embarrassment, feeling cold, and fear of falling or of the feeling of water on the face and head (common in dementia).
It's easier to just say "no!" Because of unpleasant past experiences, the very words "bath time" or "shower time" can trip a power struggle.
Avoid talking about what's coming.
Simply get the bath ready and lead the person there.
Go bit-by-bit, starting with the feet and then the hands (stressing how relaxing it feels).
Smile and talk about the weather or news about a fond relative—anything to distract from the personal nature of what you're doing.
And, try warming towels in the dryer for 10 minutes before they're needed to build a positive association with bath time.
* Saying, "I want to go home": Thinking about "why" can help you look past a literal interpretation.
For people with dementia, who often speak figuratively, "home" tends to have the emotional connotations of the word, rather than meaning a specific actual place. My grandmother would say it, I realized, right after dinner, when she was tired and sad about her visitor's impending departure. Helping her settle for a nap, rather than leaving her seated in a chair, raised her comfort and calm.
* Wearing inappropriate or filthy clothes: Why would someone wear fleece in summer or a dirty sweater day after day? Because certain items are easier to pull on as coordination is affected by advancing dementia.
Having a go-to outfit requires less mental energy than choosing and matching other clothes.
Solution: Simplify. Put away seasonally-inappropriate or hard-to-put-on clothes. Replace them with interchangeable, easy-on choices, and swap out dirty things at bath time or while the person is sleeping. It can also help to buy multiple, identical versions of favorites, so one set can be washed while the other is worn.
As you think about what's behind a behavior, it can help to use the "5 W's" of information-gathering: Who, what, when, and where (along with why).
WHO are you dealing with? Reading up on your loved one's stage of dementia, and what that's like, can reveal important insights. So can your own knowledge of his or her background, moods, rhythms, likes and dislikes, and general health.
What's different today? Has she been ill? Is he usually upbeat but suddenly not? Does he like to fix things or have particular interests or obsessions?
WHAT else is going on that might be a trigger? Think beyond the immediate behavior to the overall scene.
Is it noisy and hard to hear? What's been playing on the radio or TV? Is it hot or cold? Did someone just say something that might have tripped a reaction? Is there a new aide around or a change in routine that particular day?
WHEN does it happen? Is this a one-off behavior or does it occur every day? If daily, is at the same time or at random times? Only after the sun goes down? Or after a bad night's sleep or a missed meal? When YOU are rushed and stressed yourself? Remember we all act different when we're bored, or frightened, or hungry, or tired, or rushed, or feeling insecure. Alzheimer's can magnify your loved one's response to these states.
WHERE does it happen? Out in public? In crowds? Indoors or outdoors? While sitting in a particular chair or room? Try to crouch down and assess the setting from their vantage point.
For example, is there something upsetting the person sees—a painting, a clock, a mirror, the way the afternoon light hits the window—that you could remove from the line of vision by repositioning a chair or closing a shade?
"Why-This, Try-This" is more than a problem-solving approach. It's a stress-relieving approach to dementia care in general. You can set your clock by it!

In this photo taken on Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2016, Kremlin-linked lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya speaks to a journalist in Moscow, Russia. President Donald Trump's eldest son changed his account of the meeting he had with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign over the weekend, saying Sunday July 9, 2017, that Natalia Veselnitskaya told him she had information about Clinton. A statement from Donald Trump Jr. one day earlier made no mention of Clinton. (Yury Martyanov /Kommersant Photo via AP) RUSSIA OUT MORE LESS
By Allegra Kirkland
November 6, 2017 10:39 a.m.
Safely ensconced in Moscow, the Russian lawyer with Kremlin ties who met with three top Trump campaign figures at Trump Tower last summer is now offering her own version of what went down at the private meeting that has become a central focus of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
In an interview with Bloomberg published Monday, attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya claims that Donald Trump Jr. suggested that a law imposing sanctions on high-profile Russians could be reviewed if his father was elected and also requested written evidence for her allegations about Hillary Clinton's campaign receiving illicit funds.
Veselnitskaya told Bloomberg she is prepared to provide this account to the Senate Judiciary Committee as well as to special counsel Robert Mueller. She said that she would only testify before Congress if her answers were made public—a condition that the committee has not yet agreed to.
This is the first time Veselnitskaya has offered details of her version of the June 2016 sit-down at Trump Tower. Her willingness to testify highlights the precarious position of Trump Jr., Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who were all in attendance at the meeting, which didn't become public until after Trump took office. The eldest Trump son eagerly accepted an invitation to the meeting, which was billed as an opportunity to receive Russian government "dirt" on Clinton.
Though both Veselnitskaya and the Trump campaign have said the encounter was a bust and that she possessed no valuable information about the Democratic candidate, Mueller is investigating their exchange as part of his probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Alan Futerfas, Trump Jr.'s attorney, told Bloomberg that his client had no comment on the interview.
As Veselnitskaya recalled, Trump Jr. offered to review the 2012 Magnitsky Act, which imposed sanctions on a group of Russian officials implicated in the murder of a Russian accountant who exposed widespread government tax fraud. The law is a particular irritant to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who retaliated against its passage by barring Americans from adopting Russian children.
"Looking ahead, if we come to power, we can return to this issue and think what to do about it,'' Veselnitskaya told Bloomberg, allegedly quoting Trump Jr.
She told the publication that Trump's son also asked for financial documents that would support her claims that Clinton's campaign may have received money from wealthy donors who allegedly evaded U.S. taxes, which she could not provide.

Pau Hana: Call of the Drum
Photo: Kevin Blitz
Dr. Ricardo Custodio, medical director at the Waianae District Comprehensive Health & Hospital Board Inc., wanted to support his wife's passion for belly dancing, so he learned and perfected the art of Middle Eastern drumming.
"I figured drumming would be a neat way to share the experience," he says. "I was tired of being just the chauffeur or the groupie."
Custodio and wife, Tammy, have shared this hobby for nearly four years, performing about once a month, from local events such as the Vietnamese New Year at Kapiolani Park, all the way to Las Vegas at the International Belly Dancing Conference.
One of Custodio's favorite performances is Fire Tribe held at Camp Timberline. "It is held for a couple of days. They build an area where you drum and dance around a big fire. The idea is to play the whole night," he says. "I've done it five or six times."
For costumes, picture sultan hats, lots of feathers, colorful beading — the works. "You have to look almost as good as the belly dancers," he says.
For Custodio, getting lost in the performances makes it worthwhile. "It's getting into that zone. I can lose myself in this; the music mixed with the dancing is powerful."

Engineering expo generates business inquiries worth crores
International Engineering Technology and Sourcing Show IETSS-2014 organised by the Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertakings (CICU) concluded in Ludhiana on Monday generating business inquiries worth crores during the four-day event.
chandigarh Updated: Nov 25, 2014 13:18 IST
Several industry and political leaders visited the show on the last day of the exhibition where engineering goods of different companies were showcased.
The scheduled visit of deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal was cancelled due to his other engagements.
Irrigation minister Sharanjit Singh Dhillon and Satish Dhanda, president of industrial wing of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), among other leaders came attended the show. Delegates from eight African countries had also come to share their views regarding the economy of their respective countries. It has been learnt that inquiries of at least `500 crore were received at the four-day exhibition.
Different engineering products, including machine tools, tractor parts, sewing machines, transformers, auto parts, cycle parts, solar panels, food processing machinery and automobile products were the major source of attraction for the visitors.
Due to the technical nature of the exhibition, mostly industrialists visited the show whereas common residents remained away from show.
CICU had decided that due to the fact that a large portion of manufactured goods in Ludhiana are exported to African countries, an exhibition at an African nation would be held in 2016 that would highlight the Ludhiana industry at international level.
Kapurthala rail coach factory officials visit
Officials of the rail coach factory, Kapurthala, also visited the exhibition and held a conference with the traders of Ludhiana. They discussed the opportunities of business with the rail coach factory with business community.
An interactive session was also held in which the traders asked questions regarding tendering and payment system of the railways.
CICU president Avtar Singh said trade from Punjab was all set to get a boost as a large number of states and even other countries were now showing interest in goods manufactured in the state.
"We are trying to strengthen our relations with different countries so that goods manufactured here could be sent to those countries," Singh said.
He said the exhibition gave an excellent opportunity to many local companies to come and showcase their goods.
Satish Dhanda said relations with other countries need to be strengthened so that bilateral trade could witness a boost and different countries prosper.
"We are number one in wheat production, a major manufacturer of woollens, bicycles and cycle parts. We need to exploit our own potential," Dhanda said.

What is the Importance of HIPAA to Patients?
December 17, 2018HIPAA guideHIPAA Articles0
hipaa doctor holding digital tablet
The majority of Americans know that HIPAA relates to healthcare providers, but many people do not realize how important HIPAA is to patients.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 – or HIPAA – is a federal law that is applicable to health plans,, healthcare providers, and healthcare clearinghouses. HIPAA likewise applies to vendors – business associates – that carry out functions for HIPAA-covered entities that require access to protected health information (PHI).
Bill Clinton signed HIPAA into law in 1996, although the law has been updated through the years, particularly in 2000 – the HIPAA Privacy Rule update, in 2003 – the Security Rule update, and in 2009 – the Breach Notification Rule update.
At first, HIPAA was meant to enhance the health insurance system and make the administration of healthcare simpler; however, it has since been broadened substantially. Now HIPAA covers patient privacy, allowable uses and disclosures of health information, and data security.
HIPAA was primarily introduced to help consumers rather than healthcare providers, but it is complex and not fully understood by a lot of patients and health plan members. This post significantly simplifies HIPAA and clarifies why it is vital to patients.
Why is HIPAA Vital to Patients?
There are four main elements of HIPAA that make it vital for patients: Privacy of health data, security of health information, medical records breach notifications, and the right to acquire copies of healthcare information.
Privacy of Health Data
The HIPAA Privacy Rule limits the people who can view healthcare information and those with whom healthcare information may be shared without first obtaining consent. In general, access to health information is limited to healthcare staff who need to view health and personal data in order to provide healthcare services and complete administration duties.
Healthcare organizations may only disclose PHI with business associates that carry out healthcare operations services for a covered entity that need PHI access, for example, mailing vendors, transcription service providers, and payment processors. In these cases, those business associates need to agree to maintain data security and similar rules apply to PHI access and disclosure as to HIPAA-covered entities. Any PHI that is shared should be restricted to the minimum required amount necessary for the business associate to provide its contracted services.
Authorization should be acquired from patients prior to sharing their PHI with organizations for other reasons, such as research and marketing.
The Privacy Rule likewise permits patients to specify who is allowed to acquire their health information on their behalf – Friends, family members, or caregivers.
Security of Health Information
HIPAA requires healthcare companies to employ safeguards to make sure any health information generated, stored, or sent is kept protected all the time. Those controls consist of administrative measures, physical protection for paper records and digital devices that retain health information, and technical controls such as encryption, anti-virus software, and firewalls. Healthcare personnel should likewise be trained how to identify threats including phishing emails and other email and internet-based threats.
Medical Records Breach Notification
While HIPAA safeguards patient privacy by putting limitations on who could access health information and healthcare providers need to apply security measures to keep PHI safe, privacy and security breaches could still occur.
HIPAA requires healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and their business associates to notify patients in the event that their health data is exposed or stolen. This enables breach victims to do something to safeguard their identities and reduce the risk of falling victim to scams. Under HIPAA, notifications must be sent within 2 months of the discovery of a breach.
Getting Copies of Medical Data
HIPAA gives patients and plan members the right to obtain copies of the health data generated or stored by healthcare companies. By getting copies of health information, patients could have a more dynamic role in their own healthcare.
Although theoretically, a healthcare provider must transmit health data to another provider giving treatment to the same patient, there are still barriers that prevent the transfer of all health data.
By getting copies of health data, patients could easily share their data with another healthcare company, or provide that information to companies conducting medial research.
One other valuable reason for getting copies of health information is to see if there are errors in health records. If an error is made documenting health information, it can have negative consequences for patients, and may influence doctor's decisions about the best treatment. It is thus essential for patients to check their medical records for mistakes and ensure errors are corrected.
HIPAA Rules Do Not Cover all Healthcare Providers
Although the above rights and protections are applicable to the majority of healthcare providers and health insurance providers, they don't apply to ALL healthcare organizations, even when those institutions seem to offer identical services to HIPAA-covered entities and gather similar types of information.
For instance, HIPAA doesn't apply to health app developers, except if they are hired by a HIPAA covered entity to create apps or offer apps to patients. HIPAA is not applicable to life insurance firms, workers compensation plans, employers, educational institutions, a lot of state agencies, law enforcement bureaus, the media, and many municipal offices.
As a result, the protections laid down by HIPAA don't apply to those organizations.


Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a type of massage based on preliminary evidence which is hypothesized to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart.

Breast cancer and its associated treatments are challenging enough without having to worry about painful and sometimes debilitating complications.
Lymphatic drainage, or lymph massage, is a gentle approach that focuses on the top layers of tissues for the enhancement of lymphatic circulation.

With an increase of lymph flow immune function is increased. Harmful substances are removed from the tissues and neutralized in the nodes. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), sometimes called manual lymphatic therapy, uses light touch to move excess lymph and fluid out of the tissues and back into the lymphatic vessels. Although often referred to as a type of massage, MLD is very different from traditional forms of massage that rely on deep and rigorous rubbing.

Q: Create a dict from a list that contains no keys I have lists of values as seen below:
[(51, 4889.37), (58, 5582.51), (62, 6005.07), (67, 6533.27)]

I obtain the list above by using the append within a for loop where Mw_Price is Mw(51) and Price(4889.37) for each iteration
 new_list.append(Mw_Price)

Is there an append to a dict?
I need my output to be as such:
 [{'Mw': 51,  'Price': 4889.37} , {'Mw': 58,  'Price': 5582.51} , {'Mw': 62,  'Price': 6533.27}],

A: From your rough description of your code (please include actual code for best answers), you can probably do something like:
new_list.append({'Mw': Mw_Price[0], 'Price': Mw_Price[1]})

to get the result you want.

A: You'd probably better unpack the pairs into two separate variables in the first place:
old_list = [(51, 4889.37), (58, 5582.51), (62, 6005.07), (67, 6533.27)]
new_list = [{'Mw': mw, 'Price': price} for mw, price in old_list]

Or if you insist on loop-and-append:
for mw, price in old_list:
    new_list.append({'Mw': mw, 'Price': price})

Q: Конвертер единиц измерения веса на JS Нужно создать конвертер между единицами измерения веса. Даны такие единицы: кг, г, т
Конвертер должен поддерживать конвертацию между любыми единицами. Данный конвертер нужно сделать только с помощью JS и JSON.
Во входящих параметрах есть объект:

{"weight": {"unit": "kg", "value": 2}, "convert_to": "g"}

А на выходе должно быть:

{"unit": "g", "value": 2000}

Как можно реализовать данный конвертер? Буду благодарен за помощь)

A: const obj = { "weight": { "unit": "kg", "value": 2 }, "convert_to": "g" };

// Единицы измерения: ton, kg, g
// Индекс каждого, через (str.length)

const convertTo = (obj) => {
  // Индекс входящих данных
  const countIn = obj.weight.unit.length;
  // Индекс выходящих данных
  const countOut = obj.convert_to.length;
  // Значение (степень увеличения/уменьшения 1 или 2)
  // Зависит от того (что во что конвертируется)
  let count;
  let unit;
  let value;
  if (countIn > countOut) {
    count = countIn - countOut;
    value = obj.weight.value * Math.pow(1000, count);

Q: What's the best way of reading a sprite sheet in Java? I'm writing a basic sprite engine for my own amusement and to get better aquainted with Java's 2d API. Currently I am making use of large numbers of separate .png files with transparent backgrounds to represent the various sprites and different frames of animation that I need. Most 'real world' game development projects seem to make use of 'sprite sheets' which contain multiple sprites or frames of animation within a single file. Also, rather than making use of native image transparency support, people often nominate an arbitrary colour that does not appear in the sprite pallette to be the transparent colour. How does one manage a file like this programatically?

*

*how do you know where one sprite
starts and the next begins

*how do you deal with transparency

There may be other factors that I've not thought of here, so I may add to the list above as I think of things or as people make suggestions (please do so in the comments).

A: I currently use XML files generated by a simple sprite editor that store the sprite as a collection of (optionally animated) poses, which are in turn a collection of frames or cells. Frames store per-frame information like the x and y offset of the frame in sheet, cell width and height, and any transformation (resize/rotation/hue/etc.). Poses store individual frames and animation information (speed, for example), and a pose name to easily identify them in the program (hero.pose = sprite.pose["standing_right"]). Sprites serve as a document root to hold several poses, such as a pose for each facing direction.
A less flexible alternative I used earlier was to specify fixed sizes for cells and sheets and calculate frame offsets and sizes based on these values (e.g. width is always 32 pixels, so third sprite is at 32 * 2). Later I started specifying these dimensions in the file name (e.g. sprite_name_32x64.png) for sprites that don't fit the fixed cell dimensions. I like the new approach more, especially with a simplistic editor that fills most values for me and allows me to use sprites as templates for other sprites.
I use the alpha and transparency information stored in PNG images directly so I don't need to worry about storing it elsewhere, although other approaches would be to pick a fixed value per sprite and store somewhere, use the leftmost pixel in the pose if you know it's always empty, use a specific palette entry if you're using those, sprite masks, or what have you.

A: Make your sprite sheet knowing the size and number of each sequence.
Grab a buffered image of your sheet and use something like this:
currentframe=spritesheet.getSubimage(x, y, w, h);

Your x and y will change based on the frame you are on. Keep the width and height the same to make things easy on yourself.
Forget trying to keep the entire game on one sheet. It's nuts and hard to manage. Use a new png for each animation sequence. If you are anal about saving space only create moving right animations and just flip the buffered image real time to move left.
Java will read png files with the alpha so don't worry about the transparency colour. Draw everything in pngs. Use Photoshop or Gimp.
Search google for java image TYPE_INT_ARGB

A: Not about java but generally you can make your all sprites in the same size. Thus, you will be able to generate your sprites in your game (or app) with a simple for loops.
But for different sized sprites there may be problem for spritesheet size (it can be larger than expected). So you must define an xml or json file for your spritesheet to find your sprite images in your code. You can use sprite sheet editors (there are plenty of them, I'm using Sprite Master) for quick and easy way to generate sprite sheet and coordinate datas.

A: Well, since most of them are custom, those details are up to the implementor.

Luc Chastan indicates that in Tours in the Indre et Loire on August 16, 1954 at 08.30 p.m. "M Pasquier sees two discs flying very low and very slowly, following a straight course, with a 'hard' noise."
In addition to the fact that the craft seen at night at an unknown distance and noisy could have been planes or helicopters, not very frequent at that time, it seems the case is of 1953, that Figuet and Ruchon mistyped the year.

Zùsto is a new and unique high-quality sugar substitute, which can replace sugar on a 1/1 basis. Food products that are prepared with Zùsto produce the same sensation in the mouth, the same aromas and the same crunch. Not only that, but the taste experience is comparable to that of sugar.
Zùsto is a new, unique combination of various ingredients that are made from natural raw materials, including polydextrose, plant-based fiber from corn and soluble fiber from chicory, supplemented with sweeteners such as isomalt, erythritol, sucralose or steviol glycosides.
Zùsto has less than 100 kcal per 100 g. That is four times less than sugar. Zùsto also has a low glycemic index (GI) (less than 22; table sugar/sucrose has a GI of 70, glucose/dextrose/fructose a GI of 100) and contains no digestible carbohydrates. The glycemic index indicates how fast carbohydrates are converted into glucose from the intestinal tract and absorbed into the blood.
Anyone who wants to avoid products with added sugars, in particular diabetics and people who want to lose weight, can incorporate Zùsto into their diet.
Where does the name Zùsto come from?
We work with taste, the taste experience. With "gustus" (Latin) or "gusto" (Esperanto). Also with the English "gusto", which means something like "individual, refined taste". We have also been working on the "sweet" taste for many years.
"Zusto" merges the "z" from the Dutch "zoet" [sweet] with the word "gusto". To promote brand recognition and memorability, we added an accent to the "u": Zùsto. Short and to the point. 5 letters, 2 syllables. Easy to remember. Commercially strong A name with a history and a future.
How is it different from other sugar substitutes?
The main difference is that Zùsto keeps the taste and the structure of the prepared product the same as if you had used sugar. It's much lower in calories as well.
For the simple reason that the use of steviol glycosides (stevia is the name of the plant) in sugar substitutes has not been approved for all applications in Europe.
A Zùsto variant with steviol glycosides is available for certain industrial applications, however.
What is the composition of Zùsto?
What are some of the things I can do with Zùsto?
Zùsto can be used in almost all cases where the recipe calls for sugar.
Can I still use my old recipes?
Absolutely. Zùsto replaces sugar at a 1-to-1 ratio, so you don't need to make any adjustments to your recipes. If your recipe says 100 grams of sugar, just substitute 100 grams of Zùsto. It's as simple as that!
I would like to make meringue. Can I use Zùsto for that?
Yes, you can. Just replace the sugar in the original recipe with an equal amount of Zùsto, or even a little less. Do you want to make a classic white meringue? Use Zùsto and the result will be as tasty, crispy and creamy white as when you use sugar. For optimal results we do recommend baking the meringue at a slightly lower temperature and letting it dry longer.
Can I use Zùsto to create a crispy layer on top of my crème brûlée?
Yes, it is perfect for that, too. Prepare the crème brûlée according to the classic recipe, sprinkle each dish with a thin layer of Zùsto and caramelize it with a torch or briefly place the dishes under a hot grill.
Whipped cream and Zùsto, is that such a good idea?
That is an excellent idea. Using Zùsto instead of sugar actually results in fuller, firmer, more stable whipped cream.
Won't Zùsto mask the taste of the fruit in homemade jam and jelly?
On the contrary, Zùsto enhances both the taste and the smell of the fruit.
I wanted to bake a cake and I mixed the Zùsto with the butter, but the result was lumpy. How can I avoid this?
You can avoid lumps by gradually stirring the Zùsto into the butter. If you'd rather not take any risks, a better way to do it is to first mix the right amount of Zùsto with another ingredient, such as flour. Then you can add the butter without any problems.
You can also mix the Zùsto with the eggs first. That way the Zùsto is dissolved right from the start.
How does Zùsto affect my health?
Zùsto is a source of healthy fiber. It has a low glycemic index and is low in calories, and it is easy to incorporate into your diet if you want to avoid or reduce added sugars.
I have diabetes. Can I use Zùsto?
Zùsto can be incorporated into the diet of people who want to avoid products with added sugars, either because they have diabetes or because they want to lose weight.
I am a bit overweight and I want to do something about it. Do I have to stay away from all sweets?
No, you don't have to, but eating less sugar is a good start. All scientists agree: we eat too much sugar, which has resulted in a dramatic increase in diseases of affluence such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Zùsto is ideal if you want to avoid products with added sugars.
Can my children use Zùsto as well?
Zùsto can be used by anyone, including children. Do make sure that they are consuming enough calories and that their main diet consists of a healthy variety of foods.
No, Zùsto is completely gluten-free and is therefore suitable for people who are on a gluten-free diet.
I read that Zùsto contains dietary fiber, but what type of fiber are we talking about?
Fiber, including fiber from corn and chicory, are the main components of Zùsto. They provide the sweet taste and structure, and they are a source of food for good bacteria.
How did DelRey start using Zùsto?
Bernard Proot from bakery DelRey in Antwerp was regularly asked by customers whether he had any products without added sugars. Since this was a niche market for which no satisfactory solution existed yet – existing products with sugar substitutes had too many drawbacks, especially with regard to taste and structure – Bernard Proot started looking for other options. Zùsto's claims appealed to him, and he started experimenting extensively. He was completely persuaded by the results.
Why is a master pastry chef so enthusiastic about the product?
Because there is no need to adjust existing recipes: Zùsto replaces sugar on a 1/1 basis. It also enables him to meet the needs of customers who want to reduce their sugar intake, by offering products that contain little to no added sugar without sacrificing taste and structure.
Can people who cook as a hobby use Zùsto as well?
Yes, Zùsto is now available for consumers. Anyone can work with Zùsto, even people who cook as a hobby, provided they use and store the product correctly, just like any other product.

Jerry White
Revisioning Europe is among the few existing English-language discussions of the films made by British novelist John Berger and Swiss film director Alain Tanner. It brings to light a political cinema that was unsentimental about the possibilities of revolutionary struggle and unsparing in its critique of the European left, and at the same time optimistic about the ability of radicalism - and radical art - to transform the world. Jerry White argues that Berger and Tanners work is preoccupied with ideas that were both central to the Enlightenment and at the same time characteristically Swiss. Translations of previously unpublished essays by both John Berger and Alain Tanner are included as appendices.

This book explores the role of native place associations in the development of modern Chinese urban society and the role of native-place identity in the development of urban nationalism. From the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century, sojourners from other provinces dominated the population of Shanghai and other expanding commercial Chinese cities. These immigrants formed native place associations beginning in the imperial period and persisting into the mid-twentieth century. Goodman examines the modernization of these associations and argues that under weak urban government, native place sentiment and organization flourished and had a profound effect on city life, social order and urban and national identity.
Bryna Goodman is Associate Professor of Modern Chinese History at the University of Oregon.

More than two years later, Jerry Johnson still doesn't have the money back.
The endless saga of the cash confiscated from Johnson by authorities in Arizona began in summer 2020. Johnson is the owner of two-truck Triple J Logistics, which operates out of a Charlotte suburb.
Arizona authorities seized $39,500 in cash from Johnson in August 2020. The money, according to Johnson, was to buy a used truck at auction. But police thought he had transported it on a flight from North Carolina as part of a drug deal and confiscated the funds.
The seizure was upheld in a ruling by the Maricopa County Superior Court in January 2021. But in May of this year, Arizona's Court of Appeals Division One overruled the lower court and ordered the money returned. The state has not done so yet and has not commented on its reasons as it ponders its next legal steps.
Last week, the case took another twist when the same appellate court ordered that the decision be "published," a legal step that adds another layer to the lengthy case.
And as the lawyers fight it out in court, Johnson's operations have been affected, he said. "They still haven't given me my money back and it still hurts my business," he said in an interview with FreightWaves.
What might have been just another legal dispute over the ownership of the cash has become something of a cause célèbre. The Washington-based Institute of Justice (IJ) is now representing Johnson. That group represents clients that it believes are victims of government overreach.
Dan Alban, an attorney with the IJ, pointed to the fact that the decision in May ordering the cash be returned to Johnson was not published at that time. That does not mean the order was not made public. Rather, Alban said, if the decision on the seizure was to have any legal standing in future cases regarding confiscation, it needed to meet the legal definition of having been published.
In a short decision handed down by the Arizona Court of Appeals last week, the same court reversed itself and in a brief opinion ordered the decision published. Thus the decision impacting Johnson can be a precedent in future cases involving government seizure.
But there's a more immediate factor. Alban told FreightWaves that the publication of the May decision in Johnson's favor now puts the state on the spot: Does it take the appellate decision ordering the money returned to Johnson back to the lower court that at first sustained the confiscation of the $39,500, or does the ruling get appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court? (As of Monday, the state had not filed a response to the publication of the decision, which only came down last week).
This video is from April 2021 so does not reflect recent developments in the case.
In August 2020, the amount of money Johnson brought to Arizona might have been enough to buy a used vehicle. J.D. Power, whose monthly numbers on used vehicle prices are considered an industry benchmark, reported in September that the average sleeper tractor sold at auction during August of that year went for $42,090.
Johnson said he was planning on buying the truck through an auction conducted by Richie Brothers (NYSE: RBA), a leading auctioneer of used industrial equipment.
But even if Johnson got his money back tomorrow, the latest J.D. Power survey of used truck prices puts a 2017 model at almost $70,000, with higher prices for more recent vintages. Those are far greater figures than the potentially returned cash.
According to the recap of the case in the appellate court's decision, the Drug Enforcement Bureau of the Phoenix Police Department had been told of Johnson's travel itinerary from a "confidential informant." That itinerary called for Johnson to fly from North Carolina to Phoenix, staying less than 48 hours. The ticket was booked less than 24 hours before the flight.
The combination of the informant's statement and the quick turnaround raised a red flag for Phoenix police, particularly in light of another fact: Johnson had several drug-related arrests on his record. (The recap of the case only states he had arrests. It did not refer to any convictions).
"Three detectives waited for Johnson at baggage claim," according to the recap. "Johnson consented to a search and the detectives found $39,500 in cash between Johnson's two bags."
Johnson was not charged with any crime — he still hasn't been — but Phoenix authorities moved to confiscate the money. In a probable cause hearing, Johnson said he got the money from both his trucking business and a loan from a family member. His plan was to fly to Phoenix to buy a truck at auction, and he believed he could get a better deal by paying cash. The purchase would have boosted Triple J's fleet to three trucks, according to Johnson.
The state's argument was that Johnson's actions fit the profile of a drug courier: lots of cash wrapped in bundles held together by rubber bands, and a short-term reservation with a quick turnaround home. Additionally, a detective testified Johnson couldn't say specifically how much he was carrying.
The lower court in Arizona ultimately ruled for the state, saying, according to the appellate decision, that Johnson "failed to prove he owned the money by a preponderance of evidence."
"As between two possibilities — that [Johnson] flew with his own cash to possibly buy a truck, or that [he] was transporting the proceeds of drug transactions — the latter is more likely," the lower court ruled.
That Maricopa County court referred to other factors in its decision as well. It said Johnson signed a "disclaimer of ownership," which put him on record as saying he didn't know who owned the money.
The lower court said it was possible Johnson signed the disclaimer "because he was scared." But when everything is put together, the Maricopa court said Johnson did not meet the burden of proof that the money was his.
But the appellate court decision — the one that was just ordered to be published — said the lower court had "erred by conflating evidence of probable cause with evidence of ownership in finding that Johnson failed to prove ownership of the money."
"In finding that Johnson failed to prove ownership … the court relied in part on evidence of probable cause for the forfeiture, including that Johnson was carrying cash for the truck rather than using a bank, the money was hidden and stored in a suspicious manner, and there were several indicia of criminal activity present, including the last-minute flight purchase, the short trip, and that Johnson was carrying 'so much cash' that smelled like marijuana," the appellate court said in its decision. "But evidence that Johnson fit the drug courier profile, by the state's own argument, went to probable cause, not ownership. Accordingly, the court committed legal error by considering evidence of probable cause in finding that Johnson failed to prove ownership."
"The burden of proving probable cause is on the state," the appellate court wrote. The three-judge panel voted unanimously in favor of Johnson.
The arguments in favor of Johnson put forth by the IJ on its website, with the legalese stripped out, are more direct.
Calling Johnson the "proud owner and operator of a small trucking business just outside Charlotte," the IJ said Johnson had "saved his money until he had enough to purchase a third semi-truck."
"And based on his research, Jerry was confident he could find a good deal at an auto auction in Phoenix," it adds.
The IJ described the state's case for holding the money as "completely circumstantial."
And it added that the lower court had put the burden of proof on Johnson, "essentially requiring Jerry to prove his own innocence. It also absolved the state of its burden of proof, its duty to prove by clear and convincing evidence that Jerry's money was connected to criminal activity in order to forfeit its property."
As for Johnson, he has two drivers with Triple J. He said he mostly dispatches his dry van vehicles up and down the East Coast, usually keeping his company's business no further north than Pennsylvania.
But it's with two trucks, not the intended three. "The police said it was legal to carry the money and yet they seized the money," Johnson said. "I am still baffled how they did that."
(The reference to the police saying it was "legal to carry the money" comes from a statement in the Appellate Court's decision about the ownership: "During the hearing, the court twice said that Johnson met his burden of proving ownership because "he testified that was his cash, and . . . that's sufficient.")

JOINEX range of products has been developed for the production of soldering alloys. All JOINEX master alloys are absolutely cadmium-free. The composition of these products ensure a low, medium or high melting point according to user's needs, maintaining the color standard of the pieces which have to be soldered. JOINEX products, thanks to the high percentage of noble elements in the composition, make the soldered point very resistant to corrosion and, so, avoid the problem of detachment of the soldered pieces during the time.
