Novas restrições entram em vigor às 4h de sexta-feira, 15 de janeiro, para passageiros chegando à Inglaterra de destinos na América do Sul, Portugal, Panamá e Cabo Verde

– Entrada no Reino Unido suspensa para passageiros que chegam da América do Sul e América Central, Portugal, Panamá e Cabo Verde a partir de sexta-feira, 15 de janeiro, às 04h (Horário de Londres).

– Os cidadãos britânicos, irlandeses e de outros países que tenham residência permanente no Reino Unido e que tenham viajado ou transitado por estes destinos deverão fazer quarentena em casa pelo período de 10 dias, junto com suas famílias.

– Decisão responde a evidências que destacam o espalhamento de novas variantes do coronavírus na América do Sul e em países com fortes elos de viagens com o Brasil.

O Governo Britânico tomou a decisão urgente de proibir viagens para o Reino Unido a partir de vários destinos sul-americanos, além de Portugal, Panamá e Cabo Verde, para evitar a propagação de uma nova variante de coronavírus.

«A partir das 4 da manhã de sexta-feira, 15 de Janeiro (Horário de Londres), os passageiros que tenham estado na Argentina, Brasil, Bolívia, Chile, Cabo Verde, Colômbia, Equador, Guiana Francesa, Guiana, Paraguai, Panamá, Portugal (incluindo Madeira e Açores), Peru, Suriname, Uruguai e Venezuela nos últimos 10 dias já não terão entrada permitida no Reino Unido.

«Isto não inclui nacionais britânicos e irlandeses ou cidadãos de outros países com residência permanente no Reino Unido, que poderão entrar no país, mas devem permanecer em quarentena durante 10 dias junto com seu grupo familiar.»

A decisão inclui também a suspensão de todos os voos vindos da Argentina, Brasil, Cabo Verde e Portugal, incluindo Madeira e Açores. Voos de carga e carga sem passageiros estão excluídos desta proibição.

A suspensão está relacionada à descoberta de novas variantes do coronavirus identificadas pela primeira vez no Brasil, que podem ter se espalhado por destinos de viagem com ligação direta com o país.

Atualmente, países como Argentina, Brasil. Bolívia, Cabo Verde, Colômbia, Equador, Guiana Francesa, Guiana, Guiana, Panamá, Paraguai, Peru, Portugal, Suriname, Uruguai e Venezuela não fazem parte dos corredores de viagem para o Reino Unido. O Chile será excluído da lista de corredores de viagem. Todos os passageiros vindos desses destinos precisam se auto-isolar por dez dias.

Todas as exceções atualmente em vigor estão suspensas, incluindo aquelas relacionadas a profissões e ocupações. Somente transportadores vindos de Portugal nos últimos dez dias transportando mercadorias essenciais estão isentos das proibições.

O sistema test to release não se aplicará a passageiros vindos de Argentina, Brasil, Bolívia, Chile, Cabo Verde, Colômbia, Equador, Guiana Francesa, Guiana, Guiana, Paraguai, Panamá, Portugal, Peru, Suriname, Uruguai e Venezuela após as 4 da manhã do dia 15 de Janeiro.

A recomendação de auto-isolamento por dez dias se estende para pessoas que moram com passageiros recém-chegados de Argentina, Brasil, Bolívia, Chile, Cabo Verde, Colômbia, Equador, Guiana Francesa, Guiana, Paraguai, Panamá, Portugal, Peru, Suriname, Uruguai e Venezuela.

A partir de sexta-feira, 15 de Janeiro, às 4 da manhã, os passageiros de todos os destinos terão também de apresentar um resultado negativo de testes de COVID-19 antes de viajarem para a Inglaterra, para ajudar a proteger contra novas variantes de coronavírus que circulam internacionalmente e para identificar as que podem ser infecciosas.

As restrições nacionais para a Inglaterra aplicadas no último dia 6 de janeiro continuam em vigor: todos devem permanecer em casa, exceto para motivos específicos, como trabalho. Isso significa que as pessoas não podem fazer viagens de férias ou viagens internacionais, exceto para trabalho ou outras razões essenciais. A violação das regras de quarentena pode ser punida com multas entre 200 pounds e 6400 pounds .

O Governo Britânico trabalha em colaboração direta com parceiros internacionais para compreender as mudanças no vírus que têm sido relatadas nestes países. Estamos, também, realizando investigações adicionais no Reino Unido para garantir nossa avaliação de risco.

How CyberActive is Helping Driving Schools Stay in Business

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In the Spring of 2020, the economic impact of COVID-19 started hitting brick-and-mortar businesses hard nationwide when they were mandated to close.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In the Spring of 2020, the economic impact of COVID-19 started hitting brick-and-mortar businesses hard nationwide when they were mandated to close.

«We need help,» one driving school manager told CyberActive. «Parents won’t let their kids come to our classes and the DMV’s are closed so teens can’t take their driving test.»  It was then that Sharon Ourian, CEO and President of CyberActive, realized that her company could help keep these schools in business.

«In light of the restrictions and closures placed on in-person training facilities due to COVID-19, CyberActive is providing school districts and traditional driving schools a way to continue offering their students quality driver education, virtually,» said Ourian.

In May of 2020, CyberActive unveiled its plan to help driving schools continue to deliver driver education classes to their students via its white label solution, which enabled driving schools to enroll new students and administer the driver education course on a platform resembling their own website.  This meant they could maintain their brand and set their own prices instead of referring their students to a different website with a traditional affiliate model. CyberActive also waived all account setup and licensing fees.

The response was overwhelming.  Driving school owners from all over the country began contacting CyberActive to participate and offer their own online driver education courses.

CyberActive is proud to provide hundreds of driving schools with a viable and, in some cases, free online replacement for classroom instruction and looks forward to continuing to grow its network of driving school and school district clientele in 2021.

To learn more about how CyberActive is helping fuel driver safety programs across the country, visit www.CyberActiveOnline.com. To learn more about Sharon Ourian visit her LinkedIn profile or Instagram at @SharonOurian. 

About CyberActive:

CyberActive pioneered the online driver safety education industry in 1999. It offers programs directly to consumers as well as through partnerships with driving schools, high schools, courts, insurance companies, businesses and other entities seeking turn-key online driver safety programs and/or SaaS for their own programs. To date, the company has served more than 6 million drivers in all 50 states.

University Medical Center Opens Onsite COVID-19 Vaccination Center At Encore At Wynn Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The UMC COVID-19 Vaccination Center will open its doors at Encore at Wynn Las Vegas (Nasdaq: WYNN) on Monday, January 18.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The UMC COVID-19 Vaccination Center will open its doors at Encore at Wynn Las Vegas (Nasdaq: WYNN) on Monday, January 18.

«This is a critical step in our state’s economic and health recovery,» said Matt Maddox, CEO Wynn Resorts.

The UMC COVID-19 Vaccination Center will operate Monday – Friday, with the ability to increase hours as the program expands. It is conveniently located in the resort’s convention space near the Encore self-parking garage. Vaccines at the Center are available to residents of Nevada who are eligible under the current State of Nevada vaccination guidelines.

Initially, the UMC COVID-19 Vaccination Center will only offer the vaccine to people 70 and older, healthcare workers, and first responders.

To ensure efficiency, appointments are required by UMC and can be scheduled in advance at www.umcsn.com/COVIDvaccine or by calling (702) 383-2619. Eligible Nevadans may need to book their appointments several weeks in advance.

To determine eligibility for the vaccine under the current state guidelines, please visit https://nvhealthresponse.nv.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/NEVADA-COVID-19-VACCINE-PLAYBOOK-V3-BRIEF_011121.pdf.

This unique partnership was formed to increase distribution of the vaccine throughout the Las Vegas Valley at a convenient location, and to assist in the state’s recovery from the pandemic.

«We offered Encore as a vaccination location to help facilitate vaccine distribution as quickly and efficiently as possible throughout the Las Vegas Valley,» said Matt Maddox, CEO of Wynn Resorts. «Our partnership with UMC began with our extensive onsite employee testing program. Based upon the success of that program with UMC, we look forward to hosting this critical step in our state’s economic and health recovery.»

«The UMC COVID-19 Vaccination Center at Encore will serve as a valuable asset to our community as we work together to protect our most vulnerable populations and eventually bring an end to the COVID-19 pandemic,» said UMC CEO Mason Van Houweling. «UMC’s world-class health care team members look forward to working alongside our trusted partners at Wynn Resorts to build a brighter, healthier future for Southern Nevada.»

The Encore location will replace UMC’s existing COVID-19 vaccination clinic at UMC’s Delta Point Building. All UMC vaccination appointments scheduled on or after January 18 will take place at the Encore location.

The UMC COVID-19 Vaccination Center is equipped to offer hundreds of vaccinations each day. Additional information is available at www.umcsn.com/COVIDvaccine.

In May 2020, Wynn Las Vegas began providing all employees with direct access to reliable and accurate COVID-19 tests on-site at no cost; and in early 2021 will debut a custom-built state-of-the-art COVID-19 testing lab and mobile health app available to resort guests.

Survival of Endangered Languages at Risk in a Globalized Mainstream Culture, WordFinder Study Uncovers

VERO BEACH, Fla., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A new study by WordFinder based on UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger has found that the United States is home to the greatest number…

VERO BEACH, Fla., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A new study by WordFinder based on UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger has found that the United States is home to the greatest number of near extinct languages in the world.

The United States is home to the greatest number of near extinct languages in the world.

Furthermore, more than a quarter (28%) of critically endangered languages are spoken in just three countries: the U.S. (13.5%), Brazil (7.4%) and Australia (6.9%), while only 10 countries have more than half of the critically endangered languages in the world. The list includes India (6.7%), Indonesia (5.3%), Canada (4.9%), China (4.1%), Russian Federation (3.6%), Vanuatu (3.6%) and Mexico (3.5%).

«Languages are about more than vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar,» says WordFinder Editor Michael Kwan. «Languages provide insight into how a cultural group views and interacts with the world around them, as well as the history of the people in a particular area.»

It is becoming increasingly important to study and document local languages. That is why national governments, local administrations and private groups and associations are publishing dictionaries, recording speakers and creating educational programs. Revitalizing languages on the brink of extinction strengthens communities and reinforces a sense of cultural identity.

While the latest census (2009-2013) found that more than 291 million people aged 5 and over speak only English at home in the U.S., 45 do so when it comes to the critically endangered Chinook Jargon.

In Australia, over 17 million people speak English only (around 73% of the population) according to the 2016 census. By comparison, about 156 people speak the Aboriginal Miriwoong language (0.00066% of the country’s population).

Visit WordFinder to read the full study, including more detailed accounts of specific critically endangered languages in each of the 10 countries: https://wordfinder.yourdictionary.com/blog/on-the-edge-critically-endangered-languages-in-top-countries/

Travel from South American destinations, Portugal, Panama and Cape Verde banned to prevent spread of new variant

PR Newswire

LONDON, 14 January 2021

LONDON, 14 January 2021 /PRNewswire Policy/ —

New travel restrictions from 4am Friday 15 January on passengers arriving in England from South American destinations, Portugal, Panama and Cape Verde.

The government has taken the urgent decision to ban travel to the UK from several South American destinations, Portugal, Panama and Cape Verde in order to prevent the spread of a new strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) into the UK.

From 4am Friday 15 January 2021, passengers who have been in or transited through Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Cape Verde, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Panama, Portugal (including Madeira and the Azores), Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela in the last 10 days will no longer be granted access to the UK.

This does not include British and Irish Nationals, or third country nationals with residence rights in the UK, who will be able to enter the UK but are required to self-isolate for 10 days on arrival along with their household.

There will also be a flight ban on any countries with direct flights to England. These are Argentina, Brazil, Cape Verde and Portugal (including Madeira and the Azores). This excludes cargo and freight without passengers.

The decision to ban travel from these destinations follows the discovery of a new coronavirus variant first identified in Brazil, that may have spread to countries with strong travel links to Brazil.

The UK does currently not have travel corridors with Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Cape Verde, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela, and the travel corridors with Chile, Madeira and the Azores will be closed. Anyone returning from these countries from 4am on Friday will be legally required to self-isolate for ten days.

Any exemptions usually in place – including for those related to employment – will not apply, although hauliers who have been in or transited through Portugal (only) in the last 10 days will be exempt to allow transport of essential goods.

Passengers arriving in England from Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Cape Verde, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Panama, Portugal, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela after 4am on 15 January cannot be released from self-isolation through Test to Release.

People who share a household with anyone self-isolating after returning from Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Cape Verde, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Panama, Portugal, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela will now also need to self-isolate until 10 days have passed since anyone they live with was last in those countries.

From Monday 18 January at 4am, passengers from all destinations will also be required present a negative COVID-19 test result before travelling to England, to help protect against new strains of coronavirus circulating internationally and to identify those who may currently be infectious.

National restrictions for England introduced on 6 January 2021 remain in place meaning everyone must stay at home unless travelling for a very limited set of reasons, including for work. This means people can no longer travel to take holidays or travel internationally unless for work or other legally permitted reasons. Those in breach of the rules face penalties starting at 200 pounds, rising to a maximum of 6,400 pounds.

The UK government is working closely with international partners to understand the changes in the virus that have been reported in these countries and we are conducting a programme of further research here in the UK to inform our risk assessments.

TurboTenant publishes its State of the Rental Industry Report

FORT COLLINS, Colo., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — TurboTenant, an all-in-one, free property management tool, published its industry analysis – The State of the Rental Industry Report:…

FORT COLLINS, Colo., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — TurboTenant, an all-in-one, free property management tool, published its industry analysis – The State of the Rental Industry Report: Rent Payment, Rent Pricing, and Communication Trends From 2020. This report is the compilation and breakdown of survey data from landlords and renters collected throughout 2020.

Read The State of the Rental Industry: Rent Payment, Rent Pricing, and Communication Trends from 2020

«Surveying our landlords and renters throughout 2020 was the best way for us to learn how they were being affected by the pandemic, eviction moratoriums, and lack of rent relief,» said Sarnen Steinbarth, TurboTenant’s Founder and CEO. «Identifying trends helped us to provide more value to our landlords by adapting our product and providing helpful resources during a difficult year.»

TurboTenant’s State of the Rental Industry Report Highlights
Surveys were sent to over 70,000 TurboTenant landlords and renters from April to December.

  • The percentage of landlords receiving full rent decreased throughout 2020, peaking in December with only 54% reporting they received full rent payments.
  • Independent landlords with 1-4 units received the most missed payments throughout the year.
  • Households making less than $50,000 annually were financially impacted the most, with only 69% reporting they made full rent payments in December.

Couple that with a pair of specifically tuned 6.5-inch front speakers that are mounted in rugged, lightweight enclosures and you have the ultimate rider-centric audio experience.

«We are excited to expand on the existing partnership with RZR and the PRO XP line of Audio», commented Jake Braaten, VP of Business and Product Development.

Both options can be added to the factory installed system on the Ultimate edition.

RZR Trail and RZR Trail S vehicles not equipped with factory installed Rockford Fosgate audio can also be upgraded using the Stage 1 PMX Audio Kit that adds an AM/FM/WB radio with Bluetooth® connectivity and 2.7-inch full color display along with 6.5-inch front speakers and enclosures.
