Alaska Airlines launches Embraer 175 jet service in the state of Alaska

SEATTLE, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Starting Oct. 18, Alaska Airlines will add jet service on the Embraer 175 aircraft in the state of Alaska. The E175, operated by regional partner Horizon Air, will serve select markets in Alaska.

<a…

With the reduction of air service in Alaska earlier this year, the E175 jet gives Alaska Airlines the flexibility to increase daily frequency between Anchorage and Fairbanks, and to provide year-round service to King Salmon and Dillingham.

«This has been an especially challenging time for Alaskans both due to the pandemic and the reduction of air service last spring,» said Marilyn Romano, regional vice president of Alaska Airlines. «As part of our commitment to Alaskans and the communities we serve, we are introducing a new aircraft to our in-state 737 fleet. The E175 supports additional flying and keeps Alaskans connected within the state and beyond.»

At 76 seats, the E175 is the ideal size for many communities where larger jets are not the best option throughout the year.

«The E175 is a perfect aircraft to complement the current flying in Alaska,» said Joe Sprague, president of Horizon Air. «Our crews are focused on supporting Alaska Airlines and committed to the same outstanding service Alaskans have come to rely on for 88 years.»

With no middle seats, the regional jet is configured with 12 seats in First Class, 12 in Premium Class and 52 in Main Cabin. Onboard amenities include Wi-Fi access, Alaska Beyond Entertainment – which includes hundreds of free movies and TV shows streamed directly to customer devices – and power outlets in First Class.

Tickets to all destinations Alaska Airlines serves are available for purchase at alaskaair.com.

Alaska Airlines and its regional partners serve more than 115 destinations across the United States and North America, providing essential air service for our guests along with moving crucial cargo shipments, such as food, medicine, mail and e-commerce deliveries. With hubs in Seattle; San Francisco; Los Angeles; Portland, Oregon; and Anchorage, Alaska, the airline is known for low fares, award-winning customer service and sustainability efforts. With Alaska and its Global Partners, guests can earn and redeem miles on flights to more than 800 destinations worldwide. Learn more about Alaska at newsroom.alaskaair.com and blog.alaskaair.com.

Dealers for Veterans: Connected Dealer Services Launches Veterans Philanthropic Partnership Program

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Connected Dealer Services (CDS) has partnered with three veteran’s non-profit organizations in their new Dealers for Veterans program.

The new car franchise industry has a proud history of employing a large number of veterans in dealership locations across the country. Some dealer organizations, such as Jaguar Land Rover, even have Veterans Careers programs to encourage the hiring of veterans in their dealerships.

CDS is honored to…

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Connected Dealer Services (CDS) has partnered with three veteran’s non-profit organizations in their new Dealers for Veterans program.

CDS is honored to employ a number of veterans, one of whom became the inspiration behind this initiative. Ryan Anselmi, an Elo GPS account manager, served in the Army with distinction for many years. This summer, Ryan shared the tragic news that he had lost two of his brothers to suicide during the height of the recent lockdowns. The CDS leadership team immediately jumped into action to find a way to give back and support the veteran community.

The Dealers for Veterans program focuses on supporting three pillars of need within the veteran community: employment services, mental health and wellness, and wounded warriors and their families. CDS selected one non-profit partner to support each month under each pillar: Hire Heroes USA, Hope For The Warriors, and Fisher House Foundation, respectively.

Hire Heroes USA provides free job search assistance to U.S. military members, veterans, and military spouses, and they help companies connect with opportunities to hire them. Each year the military discharges 270,000 service members. 80% won’t have a job lined up and their spouses are four times more likely to be unemployed as well. Helping veterans transition from military service to civilian success is their main focus and they have helped more than 43,000 veterans and spouses move forward in their civilian careers.

Hope For The Warriors provides comprehensive support programs for service members, veterans, and military families that are focused on transition, health and wellness, peer engagement, and connections to community resources. They believe in a holistic approach to well-being and understand that many factors impact a service member’s life—family, community, employment, and countless others. As such, their programs take a 360° approach to service, promoting whole-person wellness for each service member they support.

Fisher House Foundation builds comfort homes where military & veterans’ families can stay free of charge, while a loved one is in the hospital. These homes are located at military and VA medical centers around the world. Since its inception, the program has saved over 400,000 military and veterans’ families an estimated $500 million in out-of-pocket costs for lodging and transportation. They also run Hero Miles and Hotels for Heroes programs that provide donated airline miles and hotel points to family members to stay near medical centers by their loved one’s side.

For each new dealer partner onboarded into the CDS’ Elo GPS’ lot management program, funds will be allocated to the Dealers for Veterans program and equally distributed to the three non-profit partners each month.

«These men and women are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect our families and our freedom. When they finish their service, they are the ones that need protecting as they transition back into civilian life, because around 20 veterans commit suicide each day. To me, that is unacceptable. We hope this program builds awareness to the needs within the veteran community throughout our dealer partners.» says CDS’ Chief Revenue Officer, Daniel Walpole.

Please remember that human travelers planning holiday, leisure travel and vacations are responsible for booking their own and their pet’s travel with their chosen airlines.

Air Animal serves people relocating for job opportunities, career advancement, military PCS and those returning to their home countries. Air Animal Pet Movers relocates pets moving with their families anywhere in the U.S. by ground, by air or a combination of the two. For people moving overseas, Air Animal understands the destination requirements to get pets to their new homes with the least amount of stress.

«Our Air Animal team fields a sizable number of phone calls, LiveChat website inquiries and online requests for pet move proposals every day,» said Walter M. Woolf, Air Animal CEO and founding veterinarian. «We know the pet-friendly airlines. That’s why our team compiled our Holiday Pet Travel guide to help human holiday, leisure and vacation travelers.»

Air Animal’s 2020 Holiday Pet Travel guide focuses on North, Central and South America. Pet travel health documents required vary between airlines and from one destination to another. For example, Hawaii’s protocol requires a rabies antibody test before entry. As long as human travelers follow all the pet travel rules, Hawaii waives quarantine. See the resources menu at airanimal.com for country pet import requirements.

Consult Air Animal’s list before purchasing a non-refundable passenger ticket for fall or winter leisure travel. Find the airline with the pet travel and acceptance policy that permits pets as «cabin baggage» in the passenger compartment. Every passenger airline defines the number of pets eligible to fly as cabin baggage, their weight and size, and the permitted breeds and species. Airline passenger cabin policies differ—especially when it comes to the number of pets allowed in the passenger compartment.

The fall/winter 2020 pet travel scenario includes families in the USA taking their pets with them visiting relatives overseas for special life cycle events, weddings, graduations and religious holidays. The common requirements for international pet leisure travel are:

An implanted microchip for pet verification
A rabies vaccination at least 30 days old but not more than one year old
An international health certificate issued by a USDA-accredited veterinarian and validated by the USDA within 10 days of flight.

Canada, the Bahamas and Mexico do not require USDA endorsement for entry.

Summing Up
Leisure and holiday travelers should use the self-service Air Animal 2020 Holiday Pet Travel guide before booking holiday flights. Call the airlines and ask questions. Families relocating with pets, request a personalized pet move proposal using Air Animal’s 24/7 online form.

Thanks for your time and be safe out there!

These new and existing positions will help the company continue to respond to the needs of communities across the country during the fall and winter months when the incidences of COVID-19 and the flu are expected to increase.

<img…

CVS Health pharmacist and pharmacist technician.

More than 10,000 of the new roles are for full- and part-time licensed pharmacy technicians at CVS Pharmacy locations and will be filled as soon as possible, helping increase support for patients and fellow pharmacy professionals. Many of the positions are temporary with the possibility of becoming permanent.

The company is also marking Pharmacy Technician Day on October 20th by advocating for an expanded scope of practice that would allow trained pharmacy technicians to administer COVID-19 vaccinations under the supervision of an immunization-certified pharmacist. As an integral part of the health care system, pharmacy technicians can help fill the urgent need to safely and quickly scale distribution of a vaccine and extend the capacity of the health care workforce to address the pandemic.

«Additional team members typically are needed every flu season,» said Lisa Bisaccia, Chief Human Resources Officer, CVS Health. «However, we’re estimating a much greater need for trained pharmacy technicians this year given the continued presence of COVID-19 in our communities. These jobs offer a rewarding career opportunity, with flexible hours, advancement potential and a supportive environment while helping people on their path to better health.»

Working under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist, CVS Health pharmacy technicians continue to serve as a trusted resource for patients by processing prescriptions, dispensing medications, providing information to customers or health professionals and performing administrative tasks. They also are vital to administering COVID-19 tests at more than 4,000 drive-thru testing sites at select CVS Pharmacy locations across the country. In this role, they are critical in helping to curb the spread of the virus and expand access to care, particularly in underserved communities.

Additional on-site roles that are part of the company’s recruiting effort include pharmacists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, member benefit case professionals, and distribution center employees.

Finally, to support the CVS Caremark and CVS Specialty pharmacy businesses, the company is recruiting for several thousand work-from-home customer service representative positions across the country, with hundreds of openings in several markets, including: Indianapolis, IN; Kansas City, MO; Knoxville, TN; Mt. Prospect, IL; Orlando, FL; Pittsburgh, PA; and San Antonio, TX. These full-time opportunities start at 30 hours per week and offer a flexible schedule for people seeking to quickly get back to work. Candidates for these opportunities can easily apply online and take an online virtual job tryout.

«By leveraging CVS Health’s innovation and technology, we can help get more Americans back to work from the convenience of their own homes, where they can contribute to the company’s ongoing efforts to help solve the country’s health care challenges,» said Jeffrey Lackey, Vice President of Talent Acquisition, CVS Health

The additional 15,000 positions are incremental to the accelerated recruiting effort that was announced in March to hire 50,000 new colleagues in support of the company’s response to the pandemic.

Opportunities for full-time colleagues include competitive pay, paid training and a generous benefits package. Job seekers can go to cvs.jobs to apply.

Information on steps CVS Health has taken to address the COVID-19 pandemic, including support for health care providers and clinicians facing financial and administrative strain, can be found in the company’s COVID-19 Response Report.

CVS Health is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We do not discriminate in recruiting, hiring or promotion based on race, ethnicity, sex/gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability or protected veteran status or on any other basis or characteristic prohibited by applicable federal, state, or local law.

New Land Rover Defender Named MotorTrend 2021 SUV of the Year

MAHWAH, N.J., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Land Rover announced today that the new Land Rover Defender has been named the winner of MotorTrend’s 2021 «Golden Calipers» for SUV of the Year.

<img…

MAHWAH, N.J., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Land Rover announced today that the new Land Rover Defender has been named the winner of MotorTrend’s 2021 «Golden Calipers» for SUV of the Year.

With a nod to the historic Land Rover Defender, the New Defender is the toughest and most capable Land Rover vehicle yet, combining a new body structure with all-new technologies and legendary engineering to create a Defender fit for the 21^st century.

«It’s a great achievement, and an honor, for the New Defender to be selected as the SUV of the Year from MotorTrend,» said Joe Eberhardt, President & CEO, Jaguar Land Rover North America. «We know enthusiasts have been waiting for the return of this icon back to the U.S for more than 20 years, and we especially want to thank our designers, engineers and everyone else at Land Rover for helping to create a 21^st century Defender that can be personalized and enjoyed for generations to come.»

Every year, the MotorTrend editorial staff meticulously selects a field of worthy contenders for its SUV of the Year^® award. Contenders are put through MotorTrend’s standard battery of instrumented testing, a rigorous series of tests that measure performance under controlled circumstances, which allow the editors to evaluate the real-world driving behavior of each of the vehicles.

»We are thrilled to honor the Land Rover Defender with our SUV of the Year award,» said MotorTrend Editor-in-Chief Mark Rechtin. «Part of the word ‘transportation’ is not just the driving but the feeling of being transported. The moment you get into a Land Rover Defender, you are transported. Every design element gives the aura of journey, safari, moving outward into the world with courage.»

This year’s group of 28 new or redesigned SUVs and variants were evaluated and selected for excelling in MotorTrend’s six key category criteria: safety, efficiency, value, advancement in design, engineering excellence, and performance of the intended function, to determine the one model that performs best for its intended purpose and to MotorTrend’s highest standards.

In choosing the New Defender as its SUV of the Year, MotorTrend found that the reimagined icon delivered much more than just legendary off-roading capability. In redesigning the vehicle’s platform and chassis, Land Rover created a vehicle with excellent on-road comfort and handling, a slew of active and passive safety features, and strong value compared to its direct competitors.

«One SUV stood roof rack and rearviews above the rest,» said Senior Features Editor Jonny Lieberman. «There are certain vehicles you can feel are special after only 50 feet of driving. The Defender bowled us over with the wonderful synchronization of its stout engine and yeoman transmission; the exceptional ride quality; its ambient nature; the baked-in, go-anywhere capability; and its amazing value.»

The 2021 Defender 110 is on sale now in the U.S. and is priced from $50,100¹; the Defender 90 body style will be available early in 2021 and will be priced from $46,100¹. Configure your New Defender at www.landroverusa.com/Defender.

Domino’s® Listo para Recaudar Fondos para Los Niños de St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®

ANN ARBOR, Mich., 19 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hoy, Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NYSE: DPZ), la empresa de pizza más grande del mundo basada en ventas minoristas globales, da inicio a la campaña anual de recaudación de St. Jude Thanks and Giving^® para beneficiar a St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital^®. La campaña, que durará once semanas hasta el 3 de enero 2021, es la 17ª campaña anual de Thanks and Giving en Domino’s.

Para ayudar a los niños de St. Jude, los clientes pueden agregar un donativo a sus pedidos – por teléfono, en las tiendas o en línea. Además de poder agregar un donativo de dólar entero, los clientes pueden elegir redondear el total de su pedido para donar el cambio a St. Jude.

«Miembros del equipo de franquicias y corporativo en tiendas a lo largo del país están esperando a dedicar el resto del año para recaudar fondos para los niños de St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital», comentó Ritch Allison, director ejecutivo de Domino’s. «Estamos encantados de unir fuerzas con nuestros clientes para apoyar a esta organización increíble en la lucha contra el cáncer infantil».

En septiembre, Domino’s anunció su compromiso para recaudar $100 millones en diez años para St. Jude. En honor al compromiso histórico, St. Jude dará el nombre de The Domino’s Village a su instalación devivienda más nueva. The Domino’s Village será un hogar, lejos de casa para las familias de los pacientes que ofrecerá un respiro tranquilo con espacios de sala, comedor y juegos para que las familias de los pacientes disfruten.

St. Jude brinda tratamiento a niños con cáncer, trastornos hematológicos y enfermedades relacionadas que amenazan la vida. Los avances que se logran en St. Jude son compartidos libremente para que cada niño salvado en St. Jude significa que los médicos y científicos de todo el mundo pueden usar ese conocimiento para salvar a miles de niños alrededor del mundo. Además de alojamiento y comida, St. Jude cuenta con una escuela en el campus y muchos otros servicios para los pacientes y sus familias. Las familias nunca reciben una factura de St. Jude por tratamiento, transporte, hospedaje ni alimentación, porque ellos creen que la única preocupación de un padre debe ser ayudar a sus hijos a vivir.

La tecnología, clave para la continuidad en universidades latinoamericanas

RESTON, Virginia, 19 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Alrededor de 23 millones de estudiantes y 1.4 millones de docentes de educación superior en Latinoamérica debieron transitar a una educación virtual en 2020, según UNESCO-IESALC.

<a…

Dependiendo su nivel preexistente de digitalización, cultura de innovación y estrategias de inversión tecnológica, enfrentaron el desafío con mayor o menor complejidad. No obstante, algunas universidades de la región dieron muestras de gran agilidad.

Tal es el caso, en República Dominicana, de la Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD), primada de América. Gracias a su plataforma tecnológica de vanguardia, a sus 481 años logró impartir su primer año lectivo 100% en línea a más de 192 mil estudiantes, casi 43% de la matrícula universitaria del país.

«Para nosotros, estar habituados a la tecnología fue la vía para enfrentar la demanda de servicios estudiantiles durante el confinamiento. Al tener nuestra información actualizada y en línea, pudimos ofrecer autoservicio a los estudiantes y agilizar los procesos críticos», afirmó José Horacio Cabrera, director de Informática.

Para Cabrera, la transición de presencial a virtual se hubiera hecho prácticamente de un día para otro, pero debieron capacitar a docentes y administrativos en el manejo del sistema de información estudiantil, gestión financiera y académica de la plataforma Banner.

Por otro lado, en Ecuador, la Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ), mediante el uso de estas herramientas digitales, pudo automatizar y digitalizar la expedición de documentos, lo que evitó la presencia de estudiantes y profesores dentro del campus.

«Nuestro plan de innovación tenía como objetivo mejorar la vida estudiantil, pero con la pandemia cobró un sentido de mayor relevancia: salvar vidas. Respondimos así a las necesidades de la Generación 4.0 ofreciendo tanto educación como servicios estudiantiles de forma virtual», señaló Fausto Vasco, director de TI en la USFQ.

«Para Ellucian es una gran satisfacción haber contribuido este año a mantener, con nuestra tecnología, la continuidad académica en más de 100 universidades de Latinoamérica», indicó José Luis Moreno, Doctor en Educación Superior y Director de Desarrollo en Ellucian. «Es la mejor prueba de que la inversión en tecnología es redituable».
