In the state of Michigan, Operating While Intoxicated 2nd offense is a misdemeanor. In order to face an operating while intoxicated 2nd offense, a person must have a prior DUI or OWI conviction in the past 7 years. You will definitely want to hire a lawyer if you are facing an operating while intoxicated 2nd offense. The penalties are much tougher for a second offense.
Driving while under the influence in Michigan is a very serious charge and the punishments for a second offense are more severe. The Criminal Defense Law Center of West Michigan will work hard with you to get you the best results possible. Right after you get arrested for drunk driving, you should be thinking about how you are going to defend yourself against the charge. What will your strategy be? If you call Shawn today at 616-438-6719, he will give you the advice and guidance you need to get the best outcome possible. Local prosecutors, city attorneys, police officers and special interest groups will be doing everything they can to punish you!
If convicted of a second OWI offense, the penalty you will be facing is between 5 days and 1 year in jail. Your driving privileges will be revoked for one year. You will not be guaranteed to get your driver's license back after this one-year revocation. You will be facing fines in the thousands of dollars. Your vehicle may be immobilized or taken from you. You will be hammered with six points on your driver's license. Finally, you could be ordered to perform up to 90 days of community service.
When you hire me to represent you on your operating while intoxicated 2nd offense, I will immediatley get to work obtaining and then reviewing all the evidence against you. This means getting a police report, getting video from the body-cam and getting video from the dash-cam. After I have done this, I will then let you know if your case can legitimately be challenged. Nearly all drunk driving cases can be challenged, but that doesn't mean it can be successfully challenged. One bad example of challenging a stop is when lawyers hold a hearing where a lot of the dash-cam video is played in court that clearly displays to the judge a client that is visibly intoxicated.
If you have received a 2nd DUI, you are a proven risk to drive drunk. A mistake happens once, if the same event happens again, it is a problem that needs to be addressed right away. The court system in West Michigan has an alcohol bias that your lawyer needs to fight. I will provide you with the steps needed to help you reduce that bias.
People that want to make excuses for their drinking problem that help us put things in perspective. There isn't one single judge in all West Michigan courts, who aren't aware that a person who is back in court for a second offense operating while intoxicated, has a drinking problem that needs to be tackled. It's those who simply don't get it that help put things in perspective. A person who doesn't get it, and who didn't hire an attorney to help them get, will tell the judge that they were just unlucky. This creates for their attorneys an almost impossible task of getting a West Michigan judge to believe they don't have a drinking problem.
I always tell my clients to start getting treatment right away when they are in front of me for a 2nd offense OWI. You are setting yourself up for potential longer jail time if you do not do this. You also are setting yourself up for repeated failure if you refuse to deal with your problem.
Who do you think will have it easier in court for sentencing? The person who admits to the court they have a problem and that they have started treatment for their problem? Or the person who shows up to court and says maybe I have a problem or worse yet, I don't have a problem? Common sense tells us the first person will have an easier time in court!
If your lawyer isn't setting you up with rehab facilities, counseling and AA meetings, you need to consider retaining another attorney. Before you hire an attorney to represent you on any drunk driving related charge, you should ask the attorney what kind of help he can set you up with regarding treatment. I'm not just here to make money, though I enjoy making money, but I also really enjoy helping people better their lives. I have seen how counseling has done that for previous clients of mine!
Call me today at 616-438-6719! I'm attorney Shawn Haff and I would be happy to help guide you through the complex judicial system. I can help get you into effective treatment programs and get you the best results possible!
Please visit a local AA meeting if you are struggling with addiction to alcohol.

HONOLULU—The state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) released two reports today that provides data and analysis on spending patterns of Big Island and Kauai households in 2014.
The reports summarizes data obtained through household surveys conducted by DBEDT in 2015 and covers spending in 2014. DBEDT's Research and Economic Analysis Division created the report.
Historically, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) published the consumer expenditure data for Honolulu County, which was compiled from the U.S. Census Bureau's Consumer Expenditure Survey. The BLS survey only included Oahu residents and excluded neighbor island residents. Data on consumer spending patterns for neighbor islands did not exist before DBEDT compiled the data through household surveys.
An average household in Hawaii County spent an average of $51,700 in 2014. Of the 14 major spending categories, 71.2 percent of the expenditures went towards the three basic needs categories of housing, transportation, and food.
Housing was the largest expenditure category, comprising an average of 40.5 percent of total expenditures or $20,921 in 2014. Housing was followed by transportation (16.3 percent or $8,405), food (14.4 percent or $7,420), and personal insurance & retirement savings (7.8 percent or $4,046).
In 2014, a typical Hawaii County household spent about $10,000 less than its Honolulu counterpart, who spent $62,280 on average. Compared with Honolulu County, Hawaii County consumers spent slightly less on housing and more on transportation and food, though the total shares allocated to these three basic needs categories are rather similar, both between 71 percent and 72 percent of total expenditures.
Hawaii County household's annual expenditures were slightly lower than the U.S. average in 2014, with Hawaii County at $51,700 and the U.S. at $53,495. Housing comprised a larger portion in Hawaii County consumers' spending (40.5 percent for Hawaii County and 33.3 percent for U.S.). Hawaii County consumers spent relatively more on food (14.4 percent for Hawaii County and 12.6 percent for U.S.) and less on transportation (16.3 percent for Hawaii County and 17 percent for U.S.).
Lower income households spent relatively larger shares on the three basic needs categories, 78.3 percent for the lowest-income households compared with 65.5 percent for the highest-income households. Furthermore, higher income households spent both a greater amount and share of their expenditures on entertainment and insurance and retirement savings.
Homeowners with mortgages spent $65,911 in 2014, which was more than $20,000 higher than the annual expenditures of home renters and home owners without mortgages. Both homeowners with mortgages and renters spent a large share on housing, 42.2 percent and 44.8 percent, respectively, resulting in comparably smaller shares on most other spending categories, relative to home owners without mortgages.
A typical household in Kauai County spent an average of $64,651 in 2014. Of the 14 major spending categories, nearly 73.2 percent of the expenditures went towards the three basic needs categories of housing, transportation, and food.
Housing was the largest expenditure category, comprising an average of 41.5 percent of total expenditures or $26,819 in 2014. Housing was followed by transportation (16.8 percent or $10,836), food (14.9 percent or $9,638), and personal insurance & retirement savings (6.8 percent or $4,398).
In 2014, a typical Kauai household spent more than $2,000 more than its Honolulu counterpart, who spent $62,280 on average. Compared with Honolulu County, Kauai consumers spent slightly less on housing and more on transportation and food, though the total shares allocated to these three basic needs categories are rather close, both at around 73 percent of total expenditures. Kauai household's annual expenditures were 21 percent higher than the U.S. average in 2014, with Kauai at $64,651 and the U.S. at $53,495. Housing comprised a larger portion in Kauai consumers' spending (41.5 percent for Kauai and 33.3 percent for U.S.). Kauai consumers spent relatively more on food (14.9 percent for Kauai and 12.6 percent for U.S.) and slightly less on transportation (16.8 percent for Kauai and 17 percent for U.S.).
Lower income households spent relatively larger shares on the three basic needs categories, 80 percent for the lowest-income households compared with 69.8 percent for the highest-income households. Furthermore, higher income households spent both a greater amount and share of their expenditures on transportation, insurance and retirement savings, and entertainment.
Homeowners with mortgages and renters had comparable shares for housing related expenses (44.5 percent versus 44 percent). However, homeowners' annual expenditure amount was much higher than renters, with $87,460 for home owners with mortgages versus $54,139 for home renters.
The Hawaii County results are based on 554 completed surveys from the Big Island, and the Kauai County results are based on 337 completed surveys from the islands of Kauai and Lanai.
The full reports are available here.

Home / Lifestyle / Mobile / Apple / Apple: First quarter Apple Watch sales exceeded three million units
Apple: First quarter Apple Watch sales exceeded three million units
Anton Shilov July 22, 2015 Apple, Mobile, Peripheral
As expected, Apple did not reveal exact sales numbers of its Apple Watch device during the first quarter of availability at its conference call, however, it did say that the product was more successful in terms of unit sales than iPad and iPhone in their first quarter of availability. This means that the company sold over three million Apple Watch units, which is a significant amount.
"Sales of the Watch did exceed our expectations and they did so despite supply still trailing demand at the end of the quarter," said Tim Cook, chief executive officer of Apple, at the company's earnings conference call with investors and financial analysts. "In fact, the Apple Watch sell-through was higher than the comparable launch periods of the original iPhone or the original iPad."
Sales of Apple iPhone in the first quarter of availability were 270 thousand units, whereas shipments of iPad in the first quarter of availability were 3.27 million units.
It should be noted that there were supply constraints of Apple Watch during the quarter, which means that actual shipments could have been higher.
Apple believes that sales of its Apple Watch will continue to be strong going forward. Moreover, the company hopes that its Watch will be a top gift during the holiday season, just like iPod players were back in the days. At present Apple is trying to expand production of its smartwatch products in a bid to fulfill demand in the future.
"We are now planning to expand our channel before the holiday because we are convinced that the Watch is going to be one of the top gifts of the holiday season," said Mr. Cook.
Earlier this week a financial analyst estimated that shipments of Apple Watch in the first quarter of availability hit 3.9 million units. Apple's own indications confirm that this could be an accurate assumption.
Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.
KitGuru Says: Keeping in mind that wearables yet have to prove their value to consumers, sales of Apple Watch deserve a lot of respect. Apparently, many people believed that Apple's Watch is a decent gadget. As a result, the product became more popular than any other wearable smart electronics device made by companies like Pebble or Samsung.

At CommsCon earlier this month, we heard a range of fantastic speakers articulate their view of what comms professionals can do to improve their output.
They encouraged their fellow professionals to embrace new ways of thinking and working, whether that be through encouraging organisations to fill vacuums, demonstrating the best examples of storytelling, producing the best social campaigns and even how to navigate through a crisis.
There were also examples of how new technology and better measurement is set to revolutionise earned media, helping the sector to secure investment closer to that seen across paid and owned media.
This earned media revolution is set change the way communicators work. But what will it actually look like?
On Tuesday 11 December, our latest webinar will explore what being part of the earned media revolution actually means. How does PR move from evolution to revolution? will examine the key themes which emerged from a day of discussion, insight and debate and examine the future of earned media.
We're delighted to be joined by CIPR Artificial Intelligence in PR panel member Kerry Sheehan, MoneySavingExpert senior press officer Katie Watts and SE10 senior account director Hannah Kitchener.
Moderated by Cision business development manager and CommsCon master of ceremonies Flora Edward, this webinar will see Sheehan, Watts and Kitchener discuss the insights from CommsCon which resonated with them, the challenges facing the industry, the future of earned media and what key takeaways from the event they will be integrating into their 2019 comms strategies.
The trio will cover a range of subjects, including how advancing technology is changing the industry, why engagement with journalists and influencers needs to be smarter and what a revolution in PR measurement will do for the industry.
To hear what they have to say and what effect the earned media revolution will have on you, sign up to How does PR move from evolution to revolution? by using the button below.

When I come across an abandoned building, I normally find myself encountering a building that has fallen into disrepair, but never looked like it was too great to start with. Paradise Resort on Jeju island gave me the very opposite feeling. As I walked around the still complete structure, I couldn't help thinking, 'Why did this happen? Why did they leave it all behind?' The prices were still present on rooms and for a basic room, the cost was $370 a night. For the deluxe rooms, $800. This was a very fancy place equipped with pools, bars, saunas, and a spa amongst other things.
I had passed the resort a few times before while walking the Olle trail and that is where our adventure begun once more. A friend and I entered the resort from the side by walking around a wall, through some bushes, and straight into the basement, avoiding the security camera pointing down the road. As curious individuals who wanted to cause no harm, we simply came to have a look around, then leave.
This is our first view of the hotel. Below the balconies was an open door to the basement.
Once in the basement, we found ourselves plunged into almost total darkness amidst a huge network of rooms. There were giant fridges, storage rooms, and all sorts of other spaces that we either didn't know what they were or they creeped us out too much to go inside.
The room to the left was the kitchen and had a glass roof, hence the light.
In many of the rooms, things had been left behind. This ranged from desks and pool tables through to computers. Not thinking ahead, we had only one phone between us (I don't own a phone) with which to light up our surroundings. We could see almost nothing but shapes until our eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness.
Only by using the magic of the camera could we discover what was really inside some of the rooms. As you can see below, the basement rooms are filled with a grotesque collection of mould and debris that even our well-adjusted eyes could barely see.
Upon leaving the basement, we found light and were able to look at the more inhabitable parts of the ex-resort. Some rooms had black walls due to the overwhelming amount of mould. It was a welcome respite to leave the underground network after many minutes of exploring.
Inside the bar, we found that the furniture had been removed, but it still looked rather useable.
Whoever cleaned out the place, hadn't even bothered to remove the menus. Right now though, the place is a long way away from serving $18 cocktails.
We then entered the main reception and dining area where there was a large open barbecue and all sorts of electronic equipment behind the receptionist's desk.
The roof featured elaborate coloured glasswork, lighting up the interior of the building.
The resort even featured a large ballroom that looked curiously bare when devoid of people and music.
The most hostile feature of the whole place, was a statue of a chair. On one side of the chair was a single arm, on the other, a jacket hung. What freaked me out was the instrument of torture threateningly placed in the centre of the chair. When we tried to move the chair, we found it was near impossible to lift alone due to it's incredible weight.. not that we were going to sit on it anyway.
Enthralled by our surroundings, I walked out in front of a camera in the centre of the resort before disappearing from view. Was anyone watching us anyway? Were the things even turned on?
We went back inside to investigate the expensive rooms. We found a glorious battle whereby nature was attempting to reclaim the land. I think the obscured view of the overgrown balcony is my favourite.
Inside the rooms, we found smoke masks for use in emergency. Every room had two of them, pretty much the only things left behind in the rooms.
Naturally the only way to go was up and we found our way onto the rooftop courtesy of an open door.
From the roof we could see the swimming pools beneath us.
We were unable to investigate the pools or spa area further because while we were taking a self-timer photo of ourselves with our newly found masks on, a security guard appeared and begun shouting at us from the ground.
In this situation, I find the simplest solution is to simply disappear. We disappeared inside, hastily made our way through the corridors, then descended into the basement. Here we navigated the network of tunnels at speed before coming out where we had entered. We crossed the road, slipped through the bushes and vanished entirely without leaving a trace of our presence. We came, we saw, we got shouted at, and disappeared without causing any damage.
Whatever happened to this mysterious resort that was once a luxury? It is one of the most fascinating abandoned places that I have ever visited, but it is luxury no more. It never will be again.
I never understood why RESORTS like that are left to rot though…?! Even if, as a business, I went bankrupt, I would try to sell my property or something! no?

Why does the trapdoor work sometimes and other times it freezes the game when triggered? Does it have something to do with how you place the trapdoor, i.e. if you put it in the room above/room below, or place it on the ceiling/floor and then lower/raise it?
Additionally can be said: For . . .
They must be placed on the ceilling (exactly), where a door to an upper room is.
Must be placed on the floor above a door. If it's placed on a real floor the game crashes even when loading only.
Thanks guys but I'm still confused - Disco Fever says the trap door must be placed in the room above and Malte says on the ceiling of the lower floor (it's the normal trap door I am using btw). :confused: I suppose the best thing to do would be to experiment with it.
If you search the forum, including the old forum, you will find many threads like this one from people who put the trapdoor on the floor. I suggest trying it on the ceiling.
There is a reason to put the trap door in the ceiling of the lower room.
If you place the Trapdoor in the ceiling, when you are in the lower room and the trap is opened you will see the trap door hanging from the ceiling.
If you place the Trapdoor in the floor, when you are in the lower room and the trap is opened you will see the trap door hanging from the ceiling only if a door with the upper room is displayed. This means that the hanging door will appear and disapear depending where is looking Lara. This is a "mistake" quite frequent also in Top Levels.
As AKTrekker suggested I searched the forum and then did some experimenting. I put four trapdoors in a level, the first I placed on the floor and raised to the ceiling. The second was placed on the floor and then moved along the floor over the portal. The third I put on the ceiling and moved across the ceiling over the portal. The fourth I put on the ceiling and lowered to the floor.
All four worked perfectly. No crashing at all.
I then opened up the same level in the editor again and raised or lowered all four trapdoors one click. All four caused the game to crash. Therefore as Mulf says you can place the trapdoor on the ceiling or the floor but it must be exactly level with the portal, not one click up or down.

Iowa City, city (1990 pop. 59,738), seat of Johnson co., E Iowa, on both sides of the Iowa River; founded 1839 as the capital of Iowa Territory, inc. 1853. Among its manufactures are foam rubber, animal feed, paper, and food products. The city is the seat of the Univ. of Iowa (1855) and is a major center of medical treatment and research. The old stone capitol in the city was begun in 1840; the legislature sat there until the seat of government was moved to Des Moines in 1857. With the arrival of the railroad (1855), Iowa City became an important outfitting center for the westward trails. The library of the state historical society is there.

Recent flurry of cases demonstrates the worth of the Bribery Act 2010
There was never any doubt of the importance that the Bribery Act 2010 was meant to hold for UK corporate governance. The new law was intended to beef up existing anti-bribery initiatives to further mitigate the risk of bribery in the UK as well as overseas, in the process, helping to ensure the continued integrity of British business.
The Act covers such offences as the offering, promising or giving of a bribe, requesting or agreeing to receive or accept a bribe, the bribing of a foreign public official and the failure to prevent bribery, the latter solely applicable to relevant commercial organisations.
With the Act as a whole applying to all UK and foreign corporations with a presence or operation in the UK, as well as to any UK or citizen or resident, it was widely thought from the legislation's introduction that it sufficiently covered all potential instances of bribery.
However, despite the Act being seen as much more stringent than other anti-bribery legislation around the world, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in the US, the first four years or so after it came into force proved uneventful.
The importance of the legislation, however, was demonstrated by the emergence of three corporate wrongdoing cases in succession in late 2015 – Brand-Rex Ltd in September 2015, Standard Bank in November 2015 and Sweett Group plc in December 2015. All three of these cases led the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) to impose substantial financial sanctions.
The three cases were instrumental in demonstrating the true worth and strength of the Act, particularly with regard to the use of a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) in the Standard Bank case. A DPA, as its name suggests, enables a prosecution to be suspended in the event of the organisation meeting certain conditions, such as compensation, penalty payments or ongoing cooperation, thereby avoiding an expensive trial.
Despite these notable recent successes for the legislation, rumours persist that the government could seek to modify it to loosen restrictions in certain areas. This may be especially likely in light of criticism that the legislation creates a blanket ban on facilitation payments to foreign officials without taking into account cultural differences where such payments are not regarded as bribery.
Whatever modifications to the Act may eventually come into force, there can be little doubt of the significant – if belated – impact that it has had as a credible tool for tackling corporate bribery. Finally showing its power as a legislative force, the Bribery Act 2010 has now come of age, years after its introduction, to the benefit of British business integrity.

After securing funding from investments and loans through the city and other partners, Phoenix is set to spend $4.5 million to upgrade the North Gateway Transfer Station. Giudice said the objective is to ensure the facility can meet the tougher recycling market requirements.
In 2017, China announced the "National Sword" policy as part of an aggressive anti-pollution movement. The country started to enforce the policy in January 2018. Recycling facilities facing the pressures of the tighter standards were forced to adapt by adding staff and aggressively adjusting the screening processes to produce sellable product. The result in Phoenix and many other cities was a slower process, more recyclables diverted into landfills and, in turn, less revenue from selling recyclables.
At Phoenix's North Gateway Transfer Station, the standard change meant the loss of about $800 of revenue per hour and $1.8 million over the course of the year, said Rick Peters, deputy director of the Phoenix Public Works Department's solid waste diversion and disposal division.
Peters said the improvements planned for the facility will restore the facility's efficiency, production rates and revenue back to what it was before China's policy change. The updates include the replacement of three aging newspaper screens with two state-of-the-art screens, the addition of multiple plastic sorters, expansion of a pre-sortation area and the addition of a system to increase control of the flow of recyclables into the sortation stream.

5 Things We Learned About "Call of Duty: Ghosts" From Eminem's "Survival" Video
ByHanuman Welch
Hanuman Welch is a former associate editor and editorial producer for Complex.
He's spread out on the Internet like a picnic blanket: Twitter
Call of Duty: Ghosts is reportedly on-track to becoming an even more pre-ordered title than Grand Theft Auto V.
And regardless of how that makes you feel on a personal level, Activision certainly knows how best to promote their annual golden calf. Summoning the lyrical prowess of one Marshall Mathers, Activision and Treyarch are making sure that Call of Duty: Ghosts can now count star power among its arsenal. Eminem's new The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which is due out November 5, is being coupled with the release of COD: Ghosts on the very same day.
Eminem's official music video for "Survival" features more COD: Ghosts footage and hints at some of the more prominent features already outlined by Activision.
Apparently Eminem will be waging some sort of street art/Banksy style guerrila campaign against the inavading forces occupying the United States. Good luck with that.

Financial myths and realities: RRSPs and TFSAs
By Patricia Dubois
There are many money myths around, and Sun Life advisors have heard nearly all of them. Here are 2 about RRSPs and TFSAs – and the realities behind them.
There's no shortage of misconceptions about money. Well-meaning but mistaken people spread them to family and friends and sometimes even try to convince their financial advisors. In this series of articles about financial myths and realities, we're sharing some of what our advisors hear on the job, with the goal of separating fact from fiction. Today's topic: RRSPs and TFSAs.
Myth #1: RRSPs are pointless – when you retire you'll have to pay tax on withdrawals
"I sometimes have clients who think making registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) contributions is pointless because they'll have to pay tax when they take the money out in retirement," says mutual fund representative Nathalie Jacques.1 "This is both true and false."
Keep in mind that contributing to an RRSP means you're putting off paying tax on the money you contribute. So it makes sense to invest in an RRSP if you expect your marginal tax rate (the rate of tax you would pay on an additional dollar of taxable income) to be lower when you take your money out in retirement than it was when you put it in.
For example, if you live in Ontario and currently earn $68,000 per year, your marginal tax rate for 2017 is 29.65% (20.5% federal tax plus 9.15% provincial tax). If you contribute $1,000 to your RRSP, you'll get a 29.65% tax reduction, which works out to $296.50. But assume that when you withdraw this amount in retirement your taxable annual income will be lower – let's say $38,000. That makes your marginal tax rate 20.05% (15% federal tax plus 5.05% provincial tax), which means you'll pay $200.50 in tax. You'll end up ahead by the difference between the $296.50 you received and the $200.50 you paid: $96.00, and that's on just a $1,000 contribution. So it's really worth it!
On the other hand, your marginal tax rate if your income is $38,000 today and $22,000 in retirement will be the same: 20.05%. So it's 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other, making tax-free savings account (TFSA) contributions (which you make with money you've already paid tax on, so you don't have to pay tax on withdrawals) an equally good solution.
And meanwhile, investment income in both RRSPs and TFSAs grows tax-free until you take it out, so why not own one? And if you can, why not own both?
6 things you may not know you can do with your RRSP
Myth #2: TFSAs are just not worth it
"Contrary to what many people think, a TFSA can be just as profitable as an RRSP," explains Jacques. Just as you do for an RRSP, you choose the type of investments to put in your TFSA, and that's what drives the return. It's not the type of account that matters, it's what's in the account.
5 things you may not know about TFSAs
"When TFSAs were first introduced, some financial institutions were promoting them as a place for their clients to invest in guaranteed interest certificates and term deposits, whose rates are pretty anemic, and that's no doubt where this perception came from," says Jacques. "But investors can, and even should, choose mutual funds, stocks and several other types of investments for their TFSAs."
Ask your advisor about available investment types – and grow your TFSA.

The Yuma County Airport Authority, Inc. (YCAA) Regular Board Meeting of the Board of Directors was called to order at 4:01PM on June 14, 2022, in the Yuma International Airport Conference Room, 2191 E. 32nd Street, Suite 218, Yuma, Arizona 85365. The Presiding officer was Bill Craft, President.
Reetika Dhawan, Director (joined the meeting at 4:02PM)
Maj Troy Rees, USMC, Assistant Operations Officer
Mr. Craft, the YCAA President, called for a motion to approve the minutes of the May 10, 2022, Regular Board Meeting. Mr. Hager so moved. Mr. Scott seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
1) Strategic Planning Committee Chair, Russ Jones, will provide a summary on the May 26, 2022, meeting.
Strategic Planning Committee Chair, Russ Jones, provided a briefing on the May 26, 2022, committee meeting.
Strategic Planning Committee Chair, Russ Jones, provided a briefing about the Airport Capital Improvement Plans: The Committee recommended the Board of Directors adopt the Yuma International Airport 2023-2027 and Rolle Airfield 2024 to 2028 Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) as presented.
Strategic Planning Committee Chair, Russ Jones, provided a briefing about the proposed Lease Extension for Aircraft Storage Hangar at Skydive San Luis: The Committee recommended the Board of Directors move forward with negotiations to extend the existing aircraft storage hangar lease with Skydive San Luis for an additional three years.
Ms. Brown clarified long term lease assignments have lease terms of five years or more, and that the signature policy without Board approval is up to $50,000. She further explained while the lease extension with Skydive San Luis is within her authorization, she will continue to brief the Board on expenditures and revenues.
2) Finance Committee Chair, Stanley Gourley, will provide a summary on the June 3, 2022, meeting.
Finance Committee Chair, Stanley Gourley, provided a briefing on the June 3, 2022, committee meeting.
Finance Committee Chair, Stanley Gourley, provided a briefing about the Airport Capital Improvement Plans: The Committee recommended the Board of Directors adopt the Yuma International Airport 2023-2027 and Rolle Airfield 2024 to 2028 Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) as presented.
Finance Committee Chair, Stanley Gourley, explained that the Committee reviewed the FY22 financial information, discussed the Airport Directors intention to provide an investment in personnel and agreed with her plans to implement the FY23 Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) effective July 2022. Mr. Gourley pointed out that no official Board action is required for either. He further explained discussions related to FY23 personnel costs will be addressed as part of the annual budget process. Ms. Dhawan recommends the Board take similar action in regards to the Airport Director's compensation package, noting the process will play out in the coming months as stipulated in her contract.
1) Discussion and possible recommendation to adopt the Yuma International Airport 2023 - 2027 and Rolle Airfield 2024 - 2028 Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) as presented.
Ms. Brown, the Airport Director, described the ACIP process in some detail and presented the projects to be submitted to the FAA and ADOT regarding future development, rehabilitation, and reconstruction at the Yuma International Airport.
Ms. Brown, then presented the ACIP for Rolle Airfield Airport, which has its own Masterplan and infrastructure planning process. Since the airport does not qualify for FAA funding, the plan will be submitted to ADOT only. Ms. Brown emphasized that due to the current situation of having less than twenty years remaining on the County's lease on the property, along with the YCAA's status as the County's agent assigned to manage the property, the YCAA does not currently qualify for ADOT capital improvement grant funding. Ms. Brown followed by updating the Board on efforts to enter into an agreement directly between the YCAA and the Bureau of Reclamation which would resolve this issue.
Mr. Craft, the YCAA President, called for a motion to adopt the Yuma International Airport 2023 to 2027 and the Rolle Airfield 2024 to 2028 Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) as presented and any minor revisions as discussed with the FAA and ADOT during the review process. Mr. Jones so moved. Mr. Gourley seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
2) Discussion and possible action regarding a proposed extension to the existing aircraft storage lease between the YCAA and Skydive San Luis at Rolle Airfield.
Ms. Brown, the Airport Director, described a request for an extended term for the aircraft storage hangar at Rolle Airfield by Skydive San Luis for an additional three (3) years. She explained the tenants' current operations at Rolle Airfield, and while she is authorized to make the decision without Board action she brought it for consideration due to risk management issues involved.
Ms. Brown explained in some detail how the YCAA's liability insurance specifically excludes coverage for skydive operations leaving the YCAA and the County of Yuma at risk in the case of a mishap. She further explained steps staff had taken to reduce risk including development of a waiver by Airport Legal Counsel to be signed by all customers. Ms. Brown shared other airports assume similar risk and spoke briefly about the inability for the tenant to obtain coverage greater than $1 Million however the YCAA and the County of Yuma are listed as additional insureds.
Ms. Brown explained the current status of Rolle Airfield's existing license agreement between Yuma County and the Bureau of Reclamation and the steps necessary to have that switched from Yuma County to the YCAA. Additionally, Ms. Brown provided an update to get APS power to the airfield and will provide additional details to the Board as discussions progress.
Mr. Craft, the YCAA President, called for a motion to authorize the President, Airport Director, or their designated representative, contingent upon final review and approval by Airport Staff and Airport Legal Counsel, to enter into a lease amendment with Skydive San Luis, LLC to extend the termination date to November 30, 2025. Mr. Jones so moved. Mr. Fox seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
Col Maj Troy Rees, USMC, Assistant Operations Officer, provided updates at MCAS Yuma.
Ms. Brown, Airport Director, provided a presentation on the status of airfield operations to include the runways and taxiways, Board Member Reetika Dhawan being accepted into the Flinn Brown Fellowship, American Airlines updates along with the load capacities and schedule, TSA update which included the screening throughput numbers, Rent Car update, Brewers restaurant update, Parking Lot update, AgTech Biosolids Management, marketing and community outreach over the past month to include social media, screens located within the terminal, the upcoming GA Social and Employee Highlight of the Months for May and June.
Ms. Brown, Airport Director, explained the Board will go dark in the month of July. The next Board Meeting will take place Tuesday, August 9, 2022, at 4:00PM.


The VAD Journal is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed open access publication devoted to all aspects of mechanical assisted circulation and advanced heart failure. Our goal is to address topics and issues related to mechanical assisted circulation and to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas among professionals from various specialties working with ventricular assist devices (VADs) and other means of mechanical assisted circulation, with a focus on clinical studies, and with the ultimate goal of improving patient care.
The journal aims to appeal to a multidisciplinary group of specialists, including cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, vascular surgeons, radiologists, interventional radiologists, cardiovascular anesthesiologists, cardiac imaging specialists, bioengineers, and basic science researchers in advanced heart failure and mechanical assisted circulation. This multidisciplinary exposure is a specific motivation for the development of this journal. Currently, articles related to VADs are orphans in journals devoted to cardiac transplantation, bioengineering, and cardiothoracic surgery.
Completely dedicated to heart failure, mechanical assisted circulation, and VADs, the VAD Journal presents the spectrum of clinical studies including basic science findings, experimental studies, surgical, medical, and diagnostic aspects of patient care. Case reports are also welcome. An online edition will enhance the reader's experience with high quality images and videos. We anticipate broad, forum-style discussions of challenging cases. We will publish papers immediately after copy-editing is done.
The journal will be online only, and therefore we will be publishing new papers as soon as they are copyedited. In this way, we will effect a more rapid dissemination of new findings and ideas. We will attempt to publish all accepted articles within six weeks of submission.
The journal is peer-reviewed but unlike the majority of established journals, we will not only keep reviewers anonymous, but also keep reviewers blinded to authors' names, institutions, and countries of origin, to ensure fair and unbiased reviews. Each manuscript (after being initially screened by the Editor-in-Chief or an editorial board member) will be sent to at least two independent reviewers.
We know that reviewing manuscript can be time consuming and we appreciate those who agree to serve as reviewers. As a way of compensating our reviewers' effort, we will publish some of their more interesting commentaries. If a commentary is selected by the Editor-in-Chief, the reviewer will be notified and offered an opportunity to modify this commentary for publication.
The VAD Journal is indexed by the Directory of Open Access Journals.

"Riches is a love letter to Black London and it has been thrilling to create the Richards' family and celebrate their opulence, their ambition and their immigrant grit. Our talented ensemble of actors are a joy and I'm excited to be partnering with Amazon and ITV, working alongside the powerhouses of Greenacre Films and Monumental Television to bring this show to the screen."
A smart businessman, with an undeniably ruthless streak, Stephen Richards is one of the UK's most successful Black businessmen.
He's built his renowned business empire, Flair & Glory, through hard work and his entrepreneurial skills, making it the market leader in black hair and beauty. But, his rise to the top hasn't been easy.
After 20 years of success, he's at the helm of a multi-million pound cosmetics empire and is reaping the rewards of his ambitions. He's a great advocate for black-owned business; powerful, driven and impassioned, and with a glamourous, second wife, Claudia (Sarah Niles), life is never dull. Along with their adult children, Alesha (Adeyinka Akinrinade), Gus (Ola Orebiyi) and Wanda (Nneka Okoye) they love spending their hard-earned cash and enjoying the good life.
Whilst in New York, Nina (Deborah Ayorinde), and Simon (Emmanuel Imani), his estranged children from his first marriage, have established themselves as business people in their own right, each successful in their own field.
When Stephen suffers a stroke, the family's world comes crashing down. As his life hangs in the balance, his different sets of children are about to collide. With secrets and lies rising to the surface and the Richards empire at stake, it's going to be a complicated family reunion.

Giving Thanks! Students at Amphitheater Middle School continued their Pre-Thanksgiving tradition of participating in Kindness Day. On Wednesday, November 22nd, 180 students and faculty received life-saving Bleeding Control training.
Students rotated through different stations to complete projects for the community. They learned Bleeding Control skills, made friendship bracelets for TMC for Children, blankets for sick children who are recipients of Project Linus, placemats for The Salvation Army, learned about kindness towards animals, and much more. Community groups such as ICSAVE and the Southern Arizona Stop the Bleed Coalition came in and hosted some great educational workshops and teachers helped the students write letters to send to Southern Arizona servicemen and women who are away from their families.
One of the values of the Amphitheater School District is Service to Community. The students look forward to this event from the first day of school. It gives them a sense of pride and what it means to give during this Thanksgiving week.
