United Airlines announced Thursday it is resuming hundreds of previously suspended nonstop flights in July, including premium trips from Newark Liberty International Airport to San Francisco and Los Angeles, as well as service to Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego and Seattle.

The airline also is resuming international trips out of Newark to Dublin, New Delhi and Tokyo,0 as well as Caribbean destinations such as Aguadilla, Aruba, Montego Bay, Nassau, Punta Cana, Santiago and Santo Domingo.

The increased routes will be available starting July 6. The airline will begin taking reservations Saturday.

The trips are part of a bigger announcement by the airline, which said it is reinstating flights at over 150 of its U.S and Canadian destinations, including the resumption of approximately 140 previously suspended nonstop routes.

The airline said it expects its overall capacity will continue to be significantly lower year-over-year due to the effects of COVID-19, projecting that its year-to-year numbers from June will be down 87%, but July will be down 70%.

United Airlines today became the first major U.S. airline to ask all passengers to complete a health self-assessment during their check-in process. Based on recommendations from the Cleveland Clinic, the "Ready-to-Fly" checklist asks customers to confirm they have not experienced COVID-19-related symptoms in the 14 days prior to flying. The assessment is part of United CleanPlus, the company's commitment to putting health and safety at the forefront of the entire customer experience.

"As people are returning to their daily activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, their health and safety – as well as the health and safety of others - should continue to be top-of-mind," said Dr. James Merlino, Chief Clinical Transformation Officer at Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit academic medical center and a United CleanPlus advisor. "Our health experts are pleased to play a role in helping people travel more safely and we worked closely with United to develop a health self-assessment for its customers to better ensure precautions are taken before beginning their journey."

Greetings!

I hope that all of you, your families and staff are safe and healthy. We at the NJBAC are all safe and working remotely from home.

The team has been consolidated into one unit to answer the COVID-19 questions of businesses, entrepreneurs, gig workers, and all who call. Since March, we have fielded over 26,000 calls, with over a million hits on the business portal.

I am reaching out to you today because the state is now on the reopening and recovery. NJBAC is here to continue to be your resource for compliance with the state's executive orders. But we are gradually seeing a ramp-up in questions from businesses about non-covid issues, like permits, tax clearances, tax registrations, etc.

The NJBAC Business Advocates have reached out to many of you offering opportunities to discuss COVID questions, participate in webinars, updates on financial resources, clarification of Executive Orders, etc.

We will continue to be available to you and your team as we transition to reopening and recovery. Just call or email. We can set up regular calls to stay in touch and up-to-date.

Folks reach out through the business portal cv.business.nj.gov or call our hotline at 800-Jersey-7.

We have transitioned from a marketing-only strategy to a full range of business solutions that are based on three pillars: Marketing Coaching e-learning.

CALLING ARTISTS, CRAFTSPEOPLE, MUSICIANS, OR PERFORMERS “Reflections and Expressions: Communities and Cultures of Central and South America” Down Jersey Folklife Center at WheatonArts is seeking to connect with visual artists, musicians and dancers whose ethnic and cultural backgrounds are related to the countries located in Central and South America. The artists will be invited to participate in a nine-month multi-layered and multi-faceted project, tentatively scheduled for the spring, summer and fall seasons of 2021.

The project is planned in the context of the WheatonArts’ Creative Community Connections initiative, a series of programs inaugurated in 2004 to raise awareness of cultural heritages and to create a welcoming community setting for understanding, appreciating, and sharing the arts and cultures of our region’s extraordinarily diverse population. Major highlights of programs will include: one or more major exhibitions, community arts projects, demonstrations, classes, workshops, performances, teacher training activities, one or more festivals, artist market, and a conference.

We would like to present a variety of artists working in folk and traditional art forms, whose artworks can once again engage our audiences in conversations about cultural heritage and shared humanity. Our major focus is to be on arts and cultures associated with Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina. Major art forms to be featured include but are not limited to: Guatemalan weavings, Ecuadorian bamboo carvings, pottery, folk music and dance, Peruvian retablos (boxed scenes), ceramics, mates burilados (carved and painted gourds), textiles, carpets of flower petals, music and dance, Panamanian molas (reversed appliquéd fabric), baskets and beadwork, Salvadorian wood paintings and ceramics, Garifuna music and dance from Belize, Colombian tree-bark dolls and cumbia music, Venezuelan wood sculptures, Brazilian ceramics, woodcut prints, capoeira and batalá drumming, Bolivian carved sanots (saints), traditional music and dance, Argentinean fileteado (traditional painting), leather works, woodworks, costume making, masks, folk music and dance.
