  • GA-ASI Marks Another Aviation First with YFQ-42A CCA Flight Testing

    GA-ASI Marks Another Aviation First with YFQ-42A CCA Flight Testing

    SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / The YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft, designed and developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), is now conducting flight testing in coordination with the U.S. Air Force. This historic achievement continues the company’s rapid creation of new, jet-powered uncrewed platforms chartered by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to achieve air dominance while being designed for rapid production, in large quantities, at an affordable price.

    “What a great moment for the U.S. Air Force and for GA-ASI,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “It’s been our collaboration that enabled us to build and fly the YFQ-42A in just over a year. It’s an incredible achievement and I salute the Air Force for its vision and I salute our development team for delivering yet another historic first for our company.”

    The YFQ-42A is GA-ASI’s newest uncrewed jet, focused on air-to-air semi-autonomous operation and based on the genus-species concept pioneered on the XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station (OBSS). Using state-of-the-art, model-based digital engineering, GA-ASI was able to accelerate its schedule while optimizing air dominance capabilities. YFQ-42’s autonomy core has been trained across more than five years of flight testing using GA-ASI’s jet-powered MQ-20 Avenger®, an aircraft no other company has. The integrated capabilities of a stealthy, air-to-air-focused uncrewed jet, combined with a learned AI autonomy core, provide warfighters with a definitive advantage in the future fight.

    The GA-ASI program has focused on creating a high-rate production environment that enables USAF to reach its goal of producing more than 1,000 CCAs on an accelerated timeline. Ground testing for YFQ-42A began in May.

    USAF selected GA-ASI in April 2024 to build and fly a fully production-representative Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). In March, USAF designated the aircraft the YFQ-42A, with the “Y” indicating a production-representative aircraft (“Y” will be dropped upon entering production), “F” signifying a fighter aircraft, and “Q” denoting an uncrewed aircraft.

    GA-ASI has developed more than two dozen different types of uncrewed aircraft and delivered more than 1,200 units to customers, building more than 100 aircraft per year at its 5 million-square-foot manufacturing facility in Poway, Calif. GA-ASI aircraft have amassed nearly 9 million total flight hours; more than 50 GA-ASI aircraft are aloft around the world every minute of every day.

    About GA-ASI

    General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world’s foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging nearly 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

    CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the supplemental Biologics License Applications (sBLA) for the 2025-2026 formulas for Spikevax® and mNEXSPIKE®, targeting the LP.8.1 variant of SARS-CoV-2 to help prevent COVID-19.

    The updated formula for Spikevax is now approved for individuals 6 months through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19, and all adults 65 years of age and older. mNEXSPIKE, Moderna’s new COVID-19 vaccine, is approved for individuals 12 through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19, and all adults 65 years of age and older. With the U.S. FDA’s decision, Moderna’s updated vaccines are expected to be available in the coming days.

    “Protecting people at increased risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 is imperative to public health as COVID-19 was responsible for up to 4 million outpatient visits and nearly half of a million hospitalizations last year,” said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. “We are proud to help ensure Americans will have the latest protection against currently circulating strains this respiratory virus season.”

    The updated vaccine composition is based on guidance from the U.S. FDA, which advised that COVID-19 vaccines should be developed with a monovalent JN.1 lineage, with a preference for the LP.8.1 variant.

  • RETRANSMISSION: Smile Creators Expands to Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura Location Coming Soon

    RETRANSMISSION: Smile Creators Expands to Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura Location Coming Soon

    Founders Dr. Anatoly and Oksana Ripa bring their patient-focused approach and modern dental care to new communities in North Miami-Dade.

    MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Smile Creators, a boutique dental practice founded by Dr. Anatoly Ripa and Oksana Ripa, has officially expanded with a new clinic in Sunny Isles Beach, and a third location is coming soon to Aventura. With their flagship office in Bay Harbor Islands already serving a diverse Miami clientele, this expansion marks an exciting new chapter for one of the region’s most innovative dental brands. Dr. Ripa, a graduate of Stony Brook University with over 27 years of experience in the field, is known for his personalized approach to aesthetic and restorative dentistry. Fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian, he has built long-term relationships with patients across the Bal Harbour and North Miami areas. Alongside him, Oksana Ripa has helped shape Smile Creators into a recognizable name – developing a patient experience that blends hospitality, precision care, and community connection.

    The expansion into Sunny Isles Beach reflects a growing demand for access to personalized, high-quality dental care delivered in a calming and modern environment. The upcoming Aventura office, set to open later this year, will extend the practice’s reach even further into North Miami-Dade.

    “Our goal has always been to make patients feel confident, cared for, and in control of their health,” said Dr. Anatoly Ripa. “Every new space we create reflects that vision.”

    Technology plays a central role in the Smile Creators’ vision. Each location incorporates modern diagnostic tools and workflow systems that support efficient, individualized treatment. The clinical environment – designed under the creative direction of Oksana Ripa – also avoids the traditional feel of a dental office, opting instead for a relaxed, spa-like atmosphere that helps patients feel at ease.

    While many patients visit Smile Creators for cosmetic improvements, the clinic maintains a full-scope dental approach that supports oral health at every stage of life. As the practice continues to grow, its core values remain centered on trust, transparency, and a commitment to long-term results.

    The Smile Creators team continues to connect with patients both in-person and online. For more information about their services or to schedule a consultation, visit www.smilecreators.com or follow the clinic’s official Instagram at @smilecreators_miami for updates, behind-the-scenes content, and news on the upcoming Aventura launch.

    “We’re proud to grow with the communities we serve,” said Oksana Ripa. “For us, expansion isn’t just about more locations – it’s about deeper relationships with the people who walk through our doors.”

    In addition to its clinical services, Smile Creators is known for its bold branding – from its signature yellow vehicle seen across Miami to its stylish clinic interiors and strong social media identity. The brand’s connection to the city remains a central part of its success story.

    The Sunny Isles Beach location is now open to patients. The Aventura office is currently in development, with a grand opening expected later this year.

  • The Permanent Return of Bonus Depreciation and the Reform of Opportunity Zones Mark a Turning Point for Tax Strategy

    The Permanent Return of Bonus Depreciation and the Reform of Opportunity Zones Mark a Turning Point for Tax Strategy

    CHARLOTTE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / For high-income earners and business owners, taxes are often their single greatest recurring expense. Smart planning is not just about creating wealth but also about safeguarding it from unnecessary erosion. Judson Gee, Managing Partner at JHG Financial, explains that the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) puts two major tools at the forefront of tax strategy: the reform of the Opportunity Zone program and the permanent restoration of 100 percent bonus depreciation. When combined, they offer investors a new chance to lower their tax obligations and possibly direct funds toward more significant economic results.

    Opportunity Zones were first proposed in 2017 with the goal of bringing private investment into local infrastructure, companies, and housing, therefore reviving underperforming towns. A significant portion of the billions of dollars that poured into the designated areas were focused on high-value projects, such as student apartments, luxury homes, and developments that were already under way before the tax incentive. Because reporting was optional, irregular, and frequently ambiguous, officials lacked conclusive proof of the program’s actual benefits to low-income neighborhoods. “The first round of Opportunity Zones showed us both the potential and the flaws of the program,” Gee notes. “OZ 2.0 fixes many of those issues by making the program permanent and requiring transparency so we can finally measure real community outcomes.”

    Still, examples like the Erie Downtown Development Corporation in Pennsylvania or the Kresge Foundation’s deployment of 22 million dollars into impact funds demonstrate that, with strong partnerships and accountability, Opportunity Zones can function as intended. Since then, Capital Square has delivered notable developments supported by its Opportunity Zone funds. In Raleigh, North Carolina, the Maeve apartment community was completed through Capital Square Opportunity Zone Fund VI and has been well received. In Charleston, South Carolina, The Nickel Hotel was developed through Capital Square Opportunity Zone Fund IV and has drawn strong attention in the city’s historic district.

    By implementing Opportunity Zones 2.0, which goes into effect on January 1, 2027, the OBBBA hopes to address such deficiencies. The sunset clause that made long-term planning challenging under the previous regulations has been removed, making the program permanent. Investors will have access to a rolling five-year deferral of capital gains, a uniform 10 percent basis step-up after five years, and complete exemption of appreciation after a ten-year hold. Importantly, OZ 2.0 introduces enhanced incentives for rural areas, granting a 30 percent step-up in basis and lowering the substantial improvement threshold to 50 percent. Every ten years, governors will have the authority to reclassify tracts, enabling the program to adapt to changing economic circumstances. Equally important, new reporting and transparency rules will make funds answerable for the kinds of enterprises they support, the quantity of housing units they build, and the employment they create.

    While investors wait for the new rules to kick in, many will face what analysts are calling the “2026 dead zone,” a period where existing Opportunity Zone benefits are winding down and the new benefits have yet to begin. Strategic planning will be essential during this time. As Gee notes, “A lot of people think Opportunity Zones are done, but the truth is they have just been upgraded. OZ 2.0 is one of the most powerful tools we have ever seen for turning capital gains into long-term wealth, and it is here to stay.”

    There are other provisions that are changing tax policy besides Opportunity Zones. Additionally, for assets placed in operation after January 19, 2025, the OBBBA permanently reinstated 100 percent bonus depreciation. Bonus depreciation was formerly scheduled to fade off, falling to 40% by 2025 and then completely ceasing to exist by the end of the decade. The entire cost of qualified property, including furniture, machinery, equipment, and other real estate renovations, can now be written off by investors and businesses in the year that the item is put into service. Combining cost segregation studies with bonus depreciation can result in large early deductions for real estate investors, enhancing cash flow and opening up reinvestment options.

    A new incentive for qualified production property was also created by the legislation, providing a 100 percent deduction for manufacturing facilities located in the United States that were built within certain periods. This is intended to promote production reshoring, but it also gives investors a strong tool if they are prepared to combine aggressive tax planning with long-term development.” Clients who use cost segregation properly can unlock six- or seven-figure deductions without selling a thing,” Gee explains. “That is real liquidity and long-term flexibility.”

    Particularly fascinating is the junction of Opportunity Zones 2.0 and accelerated depreciation. Consider an investor who constructs or upgrades a manufacturing plant within a recently established rural Opportunity Zone. That project might benefit from the long-term tax-free growth potential of the OZ structure as well as immediate 100% write-offs under bonus depreciation regulations. One of the most alluring wealth-building frameworks in decades is the opportunity to combine permanent capital gains relief with upfront deductions.

    However, the revisions also emphasize how important accountability is. Opponents of the original Opportunity Zone program contend that the advantages will continue to accrue disproportionately to investors rather than communities in the absence of thorough reporting. Although OZ 2.0 provides the necessary transparency, it is unclear if these protections will result in quantifiable local effects. It is evident that high-net-worth investors now have a more stable and adaptable framework to use their money in ways that balance long-term growth with tax efficiency.

    The message is straightforward: tax planning cannot be reactive. “If you are not taking advantage of these strategies, you are giving away more money to the IRS than you should,” Judson adds. “The goal is not just to save taxes today but to use those savings to create durable wealth for the future.”

    Investors can lower their immediate tax obligations, build more effective portfolios, and take part in initiatives that, when done right, also generate genuine community value by combining accelerated depreciation with the enlarged Opportunity Zones 2.0 program. These methods provide both financial benefit and the possibility of significant impact at a time of increased tax scrutiny and accountability demands.
