Question: Moustakas drives in 4 as Royals hold on for 11-8 victory

this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

Kevin McCarthy (4-2), the fifth of seven Kansas City pitchers, retired all four batters he faced and earned the victory.
Kelvin Herrera protected the lead with a spotless ninth for his 12th save in 13 opportunities.
Twins rookie right-hander Fernando Romero (3-2) retired only five of the 15 batters he faced. Romero allowed eight runs and nine hits, a walk and a sacrifice fly. His ERA jumped from 1.88 to 4.51.
Jay singled in the seventh to extend his hitting streak to 12 games. Jay finished May with a .368 average and leads the majors with 43 hits in the month.
ONE MORE OUT
Several Royals players began walking off the field in the fifth after turning a double play. The only problem was the inning was not over.
ROSTER MOVES
Twins: RHP Aaron Slegers was recalled from Triple-A Rochester. He came in after Romero's early exit and allowed two runs and six hits over 5 1/3 innings.
Royals: RHP Trevor Oaks was recalled from Triple-A Omaha. He gave up three runs and five hits and a walk over 1 2/3 innings in his second big league appearance.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Twins: CF Byron Buxton (fractured left toe) went back on the disabled list with the toe still impeding his game. ... RHP Ervin Santana (hand) was recalled from his minor league rehab assignment with swelling and having trouble gripping the ball. He will be re-examined.
Royals: RHP Blaine Boyer (strained back) was placed on the 10-day disabled list. Boyer was 2-0, but had an 11.76 ERA in 20 relief appearances.
"When he's right, he's a productive bullpen piece," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "From the beginning on, it's just been a struggle for him. He's been dealing with foot problems and with back problems and continuing to try to pitch through it. We got to the point, where the best thing is just get Blaine healthy because he can help us when he's healthy."
UP NEXT
Twins: RHP Jake Odorizzi is the scheduled starter as the Twins open a four-game series with AL Central leader Cleveland at Target Field. RHP Shane Bieber will start for the Indians, making his big league debut.
Royals: They have Thursday off before beginning a three-game series Friday with Oakland. Kansas City RHP Ian Kennedy will start the series opener.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Josh Reddick and Tony Kemp homered, Dallas Keuchel (Arkansas Razorbacks) worked seven solid innings to win for only the second time in his last nine starts and the AL West-leading Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Houston is 11-4 this season against its instate division rival, with seven consecutive road victories in the series. Houston is a majors-best 31-14 on the road this season.
Texas leadoff hitter Shin-Soo Choo walked twice and had two singles to extend his career-best on-base streak to 43 games, the longest in the majors since Atlanta's Freddie Freeman's 46-gamer two years ago. Choo is three games shy of Julio Franco's team record of 46 in a row set 25 years ago.
Keuchel (5-8), the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner, struck out seven while allowing only two runs.
The Astros used three relievers to get through the eighth. Texas already had a run in before Hector Rondon took over against pinch-hitter Joey Gallo, who worked a 12-pitch at-bat into a two-out walk to load the bases before Robinson Chirinos struck out. Rondon then worked the ninth for his sixth save in eight chances.
Houston went ahead to stay in the first when Yuli Gurriel and Reddick had RBI doubles off Austin Bibens-Dirkx (1-2). Reddick added a solo home run in the third before Kemp's two-run drive that just cleared the eight-foot wall in right-center.
The Astros have hit home runs in 23 consecutive road games, a club record.
INDIANS 6, ROYALS 4 Yan Gomes hit a sixth-inning grand slam as visiting Cleveland rallied to beat Kansas City. The Indians lead the AL with eight grand slams. Edwin Encarnacion led off the sixth with a walk and Brandon Guyer was hit by a pitch from Danny Duffy (4-8). Yonder Alonso's infield single loaded the bases. Gomes drove a 1-0 Duffy pitch into the left-field bullpen. Chad Allen got the final four outs for his 17th save in 18 chances.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
ROCKIES 8, GIANTS 1 Antonio Senzatela pitched seven scoreless innings in his first start of the season, Nolan Arenado hit his NL-leading 22nd home run and host Colorado beat San Francisco. Colorado's Charlie Blackmon had three hits, including his first home run since June 20. Trevor Story had an RBI triple for the Rockies, who have won five of six.
DIAMONDBACKS 4, CARDINALS 2 Paul Goldschmidt hit a three-run homer, Zack Greinke pitched effectively into the seventh inning and the host Arizona Diamondbacks ended a four-game losing streak. Goldschmidt followed a four-hit night Monday with a three-run home run off Jack Flaherty (3-4) in the fifth inning.
INTERLEAGUE
RED SOX 11, NATIONALS 4 Xander Bogaerts hit a three-run home run during a six-run fifth inning, J.D. Martinez and Eduardo Nunez also went deep, and the visitingBoston Red Sox beat the Washington Nationals. Martinez drove in four and leads the majors with 26 home runs and 71 RBI. Boston has won 17 of its last 19 interleague games. Washington has lost four consecutive and 16 of 21 to fall to 42-42, its first time at .500 since it was 17-17.
YANKEES 8, BRAVES 5 Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Hicks and Kyle Higashioka each hit home runs and host New York went ahead early and hung on to beat Atlanta. Aaron Judge had two hits and a walk, and he stole two bases for the first time in his career. Hicks also walked twice as New York drew eight walks.
PHILLIES 3, ORIOLES 2 Zach Eflin pitched seven strong innings for his sixth consecutive victory and Andrew Knapp had the winning hit for the second straight game. Rhys Hoskins had a two-run double for the host Phillies, who have won 11 of 16.
CUBS 5, TIGERS 3 Anthony Rizzo drove in his second run of the game in the seventh inning to snap a tie, Kyle Schwarber followed with a solo home run in the eighth and host Chicago rebounded from an early three-run deficit to edge Detroit for its fifth consecutive victory.
BREWERS 2, TWINS 0 Eric Thames hit a two-run home run and three pitchers combined on a two-hit shutout as host Milwaukee beat Minnesota. The Twins fell to 1-7 on their current nine-game road trip.
BLUE JAYS 8, METS 6 Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a tiebreaking two-run home run in the eighth inning and host Toronto rallied from a five-run deficit to beat New York. Yangervis Solarte hit a tying three-run home run off Robert Gsellman in the seventh before Gurriel went deep off Tim Peterson (1-1) in the eighth as the Blue Jays won for the 11th time in 14 home games.
ATHLETICS 6, PADRES 2 Jed Lowrie hit a bases-loaded, bases-clearing double in the decisive sixth, Mark Cahna added a solo home run in that inning, and the host Oakland Athletics rallied to beat the San Diego Padres.
WHITE SOX 12, REDS 8 (12) Daniel Palka and Avisail Garcia each homered twice, and Yoan Moncada tripled with the bases loaded in the 12th inning as the visiting Chicago White Sox pulled off their biggest comeback of the season, beating the Cincinnati Reds.

Question: Is this the end of the road for IGA?

Represent this text to find a news title for it!

IGA stores might not have a future if the Government starts to target the way supplier Metcash behaves.
IGA stores might not have a future if the Government starts to target the way supplier Metcash behaves.
THE future of your local IGA has just got a lot more cloudy. The Government has signalled it will crack down on the struggling supermarket system even as it loses market share to Aldi, Coles and Woolworths.
Before we see why your IGA could be in strife, we need to look at how IGAs work.
You probably know the I in IGA stands for independent. What you might not know is that almost all IGAs depend on a big grocery wholesaler called Metcash. Metcash supplies them with the groceries they sell (except in Tasmania, it's different down there). But Metcash is now in the Government's sights, and that could squeeze the local IGA.
Metcash always seems to be a few years behind the big two supermarkets. You might remember a few years back Coles and Woolworths got in big trouble for the way they were treating their suppliers.
There was a ruckus and a Grocery Code of Conduct was set up to prevent it from happening again. The Grocery Code is a weird law - you have to agree to be part of it, but once you agree, it applies like any law. Aldi, Coles, Woolies all agreed to abide by the system and it has apparently made a positive difference. Their suppliers are happier now.
But Metcash opted out of the Grocery Code. And now the Government is after them. It commissioned a review on how the Grocery Code is working, and the draft report singles out Metcash for its behaviour towards the farmers and food manufacturers that fill IGA shelves.
"The review received complaints from suppliers concerning the conduct of Metcash, including issues relating to unilateral demands, forensic accounting practices to offsetting amounts owed without the supplier's consent, failure to comply with promotional terms, and requiring payments above reasonable costs to conduct study tours," the draft report says.
"The review identified ongoing issues between the wholesaler and its suppliers. Metcash should become a signatory to the Grocery Code."
The draft report could change, and even then the Government doesn't have to accept the recommendations. But it seems very likely Metcash will soon find itself with its back to the wall.
STRUGGLE TOWN
The narrow aisles of the IGA were once a big part of Australians' grocery shopping lives. But that has changed and IGA is slowly becoming a victim of our enthusiasm for Aldi. Metcash now has around 7 per cent market share and dropping.
Is this end for your local IGA?
The review outlines the problem - Metcash and IGA are behind the times.
"With increased price competition, independent retailers and Metcash have faced a steady decline in their turnover over the past five years. Questions have also been raised about whether its traditional wholesale model remains suitable for adapting to changes in consumer habits," the review says.
ADVANCE FAIRLY
Everyone would agree that Metcash should treat suppliers fairly. But IGAs already struggle to compete on price with the big chains. Forcing Metcash to sign up to the code might make its groceries even pricier, and accelerate the decline of the humble IGA.
So it would be no surprise if Metcash wants to avoid the code. I asked Metcash spokesman Steve Ashe whether Metcash would still be viable if it had to sign up to the code, and if IGAs would have to shut down. He didn't answer those questions directly, but he didn't exactly show enthusiasm for fully signing up to the code.
"Our model is based around partnering and working closely with our suppliers. We believe we already comply with the parts of the Code that relate to us, and would consider signing up to components of the code that do not, lead to an adverse impact on the competitiveness of our independent retailers," he said.
Metcash can try to duck and weave, but the review suggests the Government should just shirt-front them if they do.
"In the event Metcash continues to remain outside of the Grocery Code, the Review recommends that the Government introduce a separate mandatory code of conduct containing the same substantive terms as the current Code (together with any amendments adopted as a consequence of Government accepting recommendations in this Report) with targeted application to Metcash," the review says.
That struck me as a fairly harsh approach, and actually made me wonder how much influence Coles, Woolworths and Aldi might have had on this report. Nevertheless, it seems the Government will soon be on the warpath, and the threat of a mandatory code might be enough to force Metcash to sign up "voluntarily".
CAN'T WE ALL GET ALONG?
Treating your suppliers badly to get cheap prices is the easy way to get cheap prices, but not the only way. Aldi is renowned for having excellent supplier relationships and very low prices, and its market share rose from 7 per cent in 2014-15 to 9 per cent in 2017-18. It goes to show both sides can be happy if you're willing to do things differently.
The question is whether Metcash can do things differently, or if it is stuck in the mud. With Kaufland arriving soon and Costco expanding, competition in the Australian grocery sector is only getting more intense. For IGA to go on and thrive, Metcash and IGA need to shake things up, urgently.

Question: Convicted killer Millard to stand trial in death of father

Represent this text to find a news title for it:

In May 2013, months after friends and family had gathered to remember Wayne Millard, his son was arrested for the murder of Tim Bosma, of Hamilton, who disappeared after leaving his house with two men who asked to test drive a truck he posted for sale online.
Soon after Dellen Millard's arrest, police reopened the case of his father's death. They still had the gun that was found beside his bed, court has heard. They tested the gun and found Dellen Millard's DNA on the handle, court documents show. Last year, a gun trafficker pleaded guilty to selling Dellen Millard the revolver.
In 2016, Dellen Millard and his friend, Mark Smich, were found guilty of first-degree murder in Bosma's death and received life sentences. The jury heard that the pair killed Bosma and burned his body in an animal incinerator.
Millard and Smich were also later convicted — and sentenced to life — in the murder of Laura Babcock, a young Toronto woman who vanished in the summer of 2012 and whose case was also reopened by police following Millard's arrest in Bosma's disappearance.
Millard's third murder trial will be in front of a judge alone. Ontario's attorney general agreed the man's notoriety would make it difficult to find fair jurors, thus granting the rare request to hold a first-degree murder trial without a jury.
Millard's defence, according to court documents, will be that his father killed himself. A portion of the trial is expected to focus on Wayne Millard's state of mind at the time of his death.
The elder Millard loved aviation and animals.
In 1982, just days after he was arrested for filming baby seals being clubbed to death, he flew a small crew back into the area to get onto the ice near the beaches of P.E.I.
Wayne Millard had the means — a plane, a helicopter and financing — for the venture. He and Burns, who would later become his wife, were making a film about the seal hunt with the help of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society founder Paul Watson.
"He was very incensed about the seal hunt," Watson said. "He stuck to his ground and didn't give in. He was persistent, passionate and he was dedicated."
Wayne Millard was a longtime Air Canada pilot before getting involved with Millardair. He once sued Air Canada because they suspended him for growing his hair too long, said Dennis Chadala, who wrote a book about his years with Millardair.
"Wayne was a kind man who trained me on many different kinds of planes and we had a kinship in that we were banded together in order to handle his father, Carl, who was a real tough boss," Chadala said. "But he was also a rabble-rouser."
After his father died in 2006, Wayne Millard took over Millardair, but the company wasn't doing well. He embarked on a project to transform Millardair into a maintenance, repair and overhaul operation, and secured a massive hangar at the Region of Waterloo International Airport. He told others, including his cousin Roberts, that he was doing it so his son could run it one day.
Shortly after Wayne Millard was found dead, his son fired everyone at Millardair and wound the business down.
In an obituary published in the Toronto Star in 2012, Dellen Millard called his dad a generous man.
"His hope was for a time when co-operation would be the norm and competition was only friendly," he wrote. "He was patient and stubborn ... He believed animal welfare was a humanitarian effort. He was a good man in a careless world. He was my father."

Question: The Perplexing Psychology Of Saving For Health Care

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title.

Spending your own money on health care might mean that you'll be more frugal with it. That's the theory behind health savings accounts, a decades-old GOP concept that's sparking renewed interest on Capitol Hill as Republican lawmakers look for ways to replace the Affordable Care Act.
HSAs are like personal savings accounts — with a difference. As with a retirement account, money put into an HSA can be invested, and any growth in the fund accumulates tax-free. Withdrawals can be made at any time, and they are tax-free, too — but the money can only be used to pay for certain medical expenses, such as health insurance deductibles, or for copays for hospital care or a visit to the doctor.
Currently, HSAs are only available to people who have high-deductible health plans, meaning they usually pay a few thousand dollars for medical care each year before their insurance kicks in to pay its share. While HSA participation is growing, only about 20 million people out of the 176 million who have health insurance participate in these savings accounts, according to a 2015 report by the Association of Health Insurance Plans.
Why don't more people who are eligible for HSAs have them? For one thing, not everyone has money to contribute upfront. But psychologists and behavioral economists point out that even many people who have the extra cash on hand confront big psychological barriers to saving.
"How we think and feel is directly tied to our ability to make 'good' financial decisions," says Alycia DeGraff, a board member and secretary of the Financial Therapy Association. DeGraff says when faced with financial decisions about the future, many people simply get stressed-out.
"These stressors can become so overwhelming that ... we can become debilitated and ignore the situation all together," she says. "Or we can practice any kind of defense mechanism — entitlement, suppression, overcompensation, isolation, etc. — to try and deal with [it]."
This may explain, at least in part, why middle-class Americans are pretty bad at saving money in general. Only about half of us have money in any sort of retirement account. And those of us who are parents have only saved, on average, enough to pay for about one year at an in-state college for our kids.
Saving money is hard. It means setting aside what we want now for something we think we'll want or need later. And we live in a culture that offers a lot of pretty, shiny, things to buy RIGHT NOW.
Plus, we all pretend we won't get old or sick.
"People are predictably irrational," says Dr. Mitesh Patel, especially when it comes to money. He's a behavioral economist, physician and assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine.
But many of us really hate to lose money, Patel says, which is what makes the concept of HSAs is so appealing.
For example he and his colleagues published a study last year in the Annals of Internal Medicine on what motivates people to lose weight, and found that the way a financial incentive was framed made all the difference.
The researchers observed three groups of people for 13 weeks. They told one group to walk 7,000 steps a day. About 30 percent of the group did so. Meanwhile, people assigned to the second group were told they'd be paid $1.40 every day they walked 7,000 steps. About 35 percent of the second group did so.
Here's the kicker: Each person in the third group was paid $42 upfront and was docked $1.40 each time they failed to meet their goal. Forty-five percent of that group met the assigned goal, Patel says. People hate to lose money.
Another way to encourage more saving might be to make HSAs operate more like the 401(k)s that required people who didn't want to participate to actively opt out of the plan — rather than requiring people who want to contribute to opt in. "This creates a path of least resistance," Patel says.
Of course, setting up and overseeing such a plan would likely cost the government some money, he notes.
People with HSAs do use less health care than those without such plans, a recent study from the Employee Benefits Research Institute suggests. But it's unclear whether they actually improve their health. Prescription drug costs went down for people enrolled in HSAs in the EBRI study, but emergency room visits went up — particularly for lower-income families.
Then there's the issue of figuring out how much you, as an individual or a family, would need to save for health care — it's not easy to find out the average price for a medical test or procedure in your town, let alone how much that price varies from doctor to doctor or hospital to hospital.
"If you want to save for a house, you can pretty much figure out the math," Patel says. "But if you go to a doctor, they don't give you a menu for prices."
To really increase their health savings — or any savings — we'd all need to change our mindset, says Degraff, the financial therapist.
"People would have to first take a dose of reality and get real about their future selves," she says. Naturally, we thing our future selves will be "better, healthier, more financially secure," she adds. But, for many of us, health and income eventually decline with age. We need to save more now for later.

Question: Thailand is new dumping ground for world's high-tech trash, police say

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand is a new dumping ground for scrap electronics from around the world, say police and environmentalists, the latest country to feel the impact of China's crackdown on imports of high-tech trash.
Police at Laem Chabang port, south of Bangkok, showed on Tuesday seven shipping containers each packed with about 22 tonnes of discarded electronics, including crushed game consoles, computer boards and bags of scrap materials.
Electronic refuse, or e-waste, is turning up from Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan, police said, some of it imported by companies without the required permits.
"This ... shows that electronic waste from every corner of the world is flowing into Thailand," Deputy Police Chief Wirachai Songmetta said as he showed the containers to the media.
While "e-waste" — defined as any device with an electric cord or battery - can be "mined" for valuable metals such as gold, silver and copper, it can include hazardous material such as lead, mercury and cadmium.
Police said they filed charges against three recycling and waste processing companies in Thailand. Anyone found guilty could be jailed for up to 10 years.

"The companies that we have filed charges against don't have a quota to import even a single ton of electronic waste," Wirachai said.
China imposed a ban on overseas trash last year, telling the World Trade Organization (WTO) that it would stop accepting imports on 24 types of foreign waste, leading some to fear that the waste could end up in neighboring countries.
The ban has upended the world's waste handling supply chain and caused massive pile-ups of trash from Asia to Europe, as exporters struggled to find new buyers for the garbage.
According to estimates in China's state media last year, more than 70 percent of the world's 500 million tonnes of electronic waste entered China in 2016.
Environmentalists say waste once destined for China is being re-routed to Southeast Asia, and new laws are needed or existing laws better enforced to prevent illegal imports.

"Especially after China's ban, Thailand could become one of the biggest dumping grounds for e-waste," said Penchom Saetang, director of Ecological Alert and Recovery Thailand (EARTH).
Thailand ratified in 1997 the Basel Convention, which aims to control trans-boundary movements of hazardous waste. But the convention does not completely prohibit these exports from more developed to less developed countries.
"The Basel Convention cannot prevent what is happening in Thailand because it has its limitations," Penchon said in calling for an amendment that would ban these shipments.
Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha vowed this week to step up nationwide inspections as part of a plan to combat illegal electronic waste. But environmentalists say they have not seen the details of how it will work.
"It isn't clear how he will do this," said Penchom.

Refuse, garbage, basura – call it what you will – the world is sinking under its own waste and rubbish is a serious conversation.
Belinda Beckett lifts the lid on a global problem and some not-so-trashy solutions.
A 10-metre plastic whale made waves along the banks of the River Thames this summer. The monster mascot of Sky TV’s Ocean Rescue Campaign was built from 250 kilos of single use plastic – the same amount that pollutes our oceans every second.
Its design recalls the starving and exhausted whale that washed up in a Norwegian fjord this January with 30 plastic bags in its stomach… a macabre message from the deep that the world’s oceans are in trouble.
“There is a real problem when one year you can take your fish home in a plastic bag, and the next year you take that plastic bag home in your fish” quipped Karmenu Vella, EU Commissioner for Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries at the time. But it’s no joking matter. By 2050 the ocean will contain more plastic, by weight, than fish.
Plastic has only been around since the invention of Bakelite, 100 years ago, but it makes up 53 per cent of our domestic rubbish today.
One million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute, while the average daily city trash bag in OECD countries weighs in at 2.2 kilos.
And, as the world hurtles towards an urban future, the amount of waste in its many other forms – medical, chemical, human – is growing faster than we build new cities.
Landfill creates beautiful landscapes and methane for renewable energy, incineration can power cities and reduces a large problem to a smaller one, but both have their downsides. The Environmental 3Rs – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – have become the new global mantra as the world searches for a way out of a mess of its own making.
Eco-friendly Microbeads
Scientists have found an organic alternative to microbeads – the tiny plastic spheres that go into body scrubs and toothpastes but take hundreds of years to biodegrade.
Too small to be removed by sewage filtration systems, 100,000 microbeads are washed down the sink with a single application of some products, ending up in the sea and the food chain.
Britain will become the fifth country to ban them at the end of this year, after Holland, Canada, America and Ireland…

Question: What we did on our holiday? Sustained Scotland’s rural communities

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title!

New research has illustrated the vital role tourism plays in supporting local communities across Scotland.
The study, carried out by VisitScotland, has revealed that in some communities of Scotland, such as Argyll & Bute and the Highlands, tourism employment accounts for nearly double the national average of 9%.
Tourism has the biggest impact on employment in Argyll and Bute with 17% of the population employed in the sector. Other areas that lead the way in tourism employment include Highlands (14%), South Ayrshire (13%) and Orkney (12%).
Between them, Edinburgh, Glasgow, the Highlands, Aberdeen City and Fife accounted for almost half of tourism employment in 2015 with 103,400 jobs. Overall there are 217,000 jobs relating to tourism in Scotland.
Local authorities have long recognised the important contribution of tourism to their local areas providing infrastructure that is essential for its growth, captured in the National Tourism Development Framework. The aim of this framework is to highlight the activity and investment that exists to ensure the visitor journey is as smooth and efficient as possible.
Local authorities that include the most tourism businesses relative to their population are Argyll and Bute (13.5%), Dundee (11.5%), North Ayrshire (11.3%), West Dunbartonshire (11.3%) and the Highlands (11.0%).
The top ten most visited regions in Scotland by overnight visitors are:
1. Edinburgh (2,276,000 trips)
2. Highlands (1,777,000 trips)
3. Glasgow City (1,682,000 trips)
4. Argyll and Bute (891,000 trips)
5. Perth and Kinross (721,000 trips)
6. Dumfries and Galloway (702,000 trips)
7. Aberdeen City (661,000 trips)
8. Fife (528,000 trips)
9. Stirling (432,000 trips)
10. South Ayrshire (373,000 trips)
Tourism Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: “Tourism is a key part of our economy, right across Scotland. As VisitScotland’s figures show, it is vital in supporting some of our most fragile, rural communities.
“The Scottish Government and our public bodies are working in partnership with the industry to create sustainable and inclusive economic growth for everyone, throughout the year.”
Malcolm Roughead, Chief Executive at VisitScotland said: “Tourism is more than a holiday experience – it is integral to sustaining communities across Scotland by generating income, creating jobs and stimulating social change. More and more people are realising just how important the sector is to the economy and these figures illustrate this vital impact that is growing year on year.
“Scotland’s reputation as a quality destination relies on continued investment and innovation to ensure that current provision meets future demand. VisitScotland is working with stakeholders and businesses across the country to ensure that this happens and ultimately every visitor gets a quality experience every single time.”

SINGAPORE: Mid-career Singaporeans keen to pursue nursing as a career can now apply for a new degree level programme at the National University of Singapore’s Alice Centre for Nursing Studies (NUS Nursing), the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Workforce Singapore (WSG) announced on Saturday (Feb 3).
The new degree level Professional Conversion Programme for Registered Nurses is targeted at mid-career Singaporeans with a prior degree qualification in any discipline other than nursing.
In a joint press release, MOH and WSG said the degree will be offered as a two-year Bachelor of Science (Nursing) programme at NUS Nursing. The course fees of S$74,500 will be fully sponsored and trainees will also receive training allowances of S$2,170 to $2,520 per month throughout the two years of training, depending on their years of prior work experience.
Upon graduation, trainees will also receive a one-time career transition bonus of S$2,000. An on-the-job training incentive of S$18,000 per mid-career degree trained registered nurse will also be provided to employers to enable them to better support these nurses in their transition to a new career, said the press release.
Speaking at the career preview for the degree, Senior Minister of State for Health Amy Khor said: “There has been a growing interest in nursing. In recent years, we have seen an increase of about 33 per cent in our total nursing intake from 1,500 in 2012 to around 2,000 in 2017.
“The introduction of the new two-year degree level Professional Conversion Programme for Registered Nurses makes it more attractive for mid-career Singaporeans who have a prior degree in other disciplines to join the nursing profession. This is aligned with the Ministry of Health’s effort to build a strong local core of nurses in the healthcare workforce as we face an ageing population and rising incidence of chronic diseases.”

Assistant professor at the Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies Shefaly Shorey had previously attained her nursing diploma from the PCP at Nanyang Polytechnic, and will now lecture degree-level PCP nursing students at NUS.
“This degree will be preparing for future leaders in nursing. Our curriculum is more at a deeper level – better critical thinkers, better communicators, better clinical decision-makers – those who can lead nurses in the future,” said Dr Shorey.
The degree will be in addition to the existing two-year accelerated Professional Conversion Programme for Registered Nurses at the diploma level conducted by Nanyang Polytechnic and targeted at mid-career Singaporeans with A-Level and diploma qualifications.
Since 2003, more than 1,000 mid-career professionals have participated in professional conversion programmes for the healthcare sector. Of these, around 800 took programmes on nursing and 200 on allied health professions, according to the press release.
MOH added that it will continue to work closely with WSG and healthcare industry partners to explore and develop new PCPs for other professions in the healthcare industry.
Applications for the Professional Conversion Programme for Registered Nurses at NUS Nursing are open until Mar 2.

Question: Smoke Me Out y Los Reyes Del Corrido is the latest festival headed to Long Beach

Concerts continue to flood the Queen Mary this summer with yet another festival coming to the park around the ship, and this one is bringing the passionate sounds of modern regional Mexican music to Long Beach.
Tickets are on sale for the Smoke Me Out y Los Reyes Del Corrido festival set for Aug. 18.
The festival will feature many young up-and-coming bands playing various genres of regional Mexican music, including soaring rancheras, popping norteño tunes and banda music. But the event will focus on passionate corridos, the storytelling songs, and judging by the pot leaf design in the poster for the fest, expect plenty to reference marijuana.
San Diego-born singer Roberto Tapia, who blends banda, norteño and hip-hop, is among the dozen and a half artists on the lineup.

He’s joined by Sinaloan trio Los Hijos de Barron, which brings a guitar-driven sound to rancheras as well as Orange County-based norteño group Legado 7, which is known for corridos about marijuana. Also on the bill is Arsenal Efectivo, which performs a style the members have termed “trap corridos,” which landed the group on Pandora’s “Artists to Watch in 2018.”
Other artists on the bill include El De La Guitarra, Los Alegres Del Barranco, Régulo Caro, Christian Felix and Maximo Grado, Los Hijos De Garcia, Omar Ruiz, Cornelio Vega & Su Dinastia, Enigma Norteño, Noel Torres, Fuerza Regida and Adriel Favela.
Smoke Me Out is the latest in a series of festivals that are turning the Queen Mary into one hot ship.
So far this year the venue has hosted the One Love Cali Reggae Fest in February, the sold out Smoker’s Club Festival, which celebrated hip-hop culture and marijuana in April, the R&B heavy Smoking Grooves in June and on July 7 Snoop Dogg and Warren G return to Long Beach for the Summertime in the LBC show. That’s followed on Aug.12 by Alt 98.7’s Summer Camp music festival headlined by Death Cab for Cutie.
It’s all happened after a partnership with concert organizer Goldenvoice was announced late last year to put on more festivals at the ship.
Smoke Me Out y Reyes Del Corrido
When: 11 a.m.. Aug.18
Where: Queen Mary, 1126 Queens Highway, Long Beach
Tickets: $60-$150 for general admission, $150-$200 for VIP
Information: www.smokemeoutfest.com

When Grammy Award winner Natalia Lafourcade performs in Miami on June 16, she will be taking her audience on a journey of Mexican and Latin American folkloric music. In the first stop of her U.S. tour, the Mexican pop-rock singer will bring songs from her new album, "Musas," to the Olympia Theater.

Question: World Cup 2018: BBC iPlayer to stream matches in 4K HDR

Image caption The BBC is promoting the trial as providing the "best ever picture quality" iPlayer has offered
The BBC is to stream dozens of World Cup matches live in 4K resolution and high dynamic range colour (HDR) to UK-based audiences in June and July.
It will mark the first time iPlayer has covered one of the major sporting events in such quality.
However, it will limit the number of screens with access, and will do so on a first-come first-served basis.
The BBC also plans a separate virtual reality experience. One expert said the news had been highly anticipated.
"There had been a couple of earlier trials that had not been highly publicised, but now everyone who has compatible equipment should be able to see some of the best picture quality made available via a terrestrial broadcast," commented Andy Madden, content editor at What Hi-Fi? magazine.
"They should see a marked improvement in detail and a brighter, punchier picture than they had previously."
Brighter, sharper
The term 4K - which is sometimes referred to as being ultra-high definition (UHD) - refers to the fact that an image contains four times as many pixels as a 1080p high definition picture.
This can reveal details that would otherwise be obscure - including the notes written on a yellow or red card, or the time on a referee's watch.
Image copyright Getty Images Image caption The World Cup runs from 14 June to 15 July
The bigger the screen and/or the closer its audience is, the more obvious the enhancement provided.
Many people, however, have found that it is HDR that provides the biggest "wow factor".
The technology takes advantage of the fact modern TVs can go brighter and/or darker than they used to, providing a greater dynamic range.
As result, the shadows of an image can be made less murky while the highlights - including glints of light reflected off metal or water - can be given more impact.
HDR is also accompanied by the adoption of a "wider colour space", meaning millions more colours can be displayed than had been the case before.
BT began screening live sport in 4K in 2015, and Sky followed a year later, but neither do so in HDR.
The BBC is able to, thanks to the development of a new type of HDR called hybrid-log gamma (HLG), which has been created in conjunction with the Japanese broadcaster NHK.
As an added benefit, footage will be played at 50 frames per second rather than the normal 25fps.
Restricted view
All 29 of BBC One's World Cup matches are scheduled to be made available in 4K and HDR.
But each will be limited to "tens of thousands of people" - the exact number of iPlayer-equipped devices has not been specified in advance.
Image caption Compatible devices will offer access to the 4K HDR streams via iPlayer's home screen
To gain access, viewers must be among the first to click on the relevant home screen button just after each stream starts.
To enjoy the optimum experience, the BBC says audiences will need a 40 megabit per second (Mbit/s) internet connection - which is faster than that to which most households have access.
Those with slower download speeds may find they are provided a lower-resolution image.
BBC engineers first trialled the tech involved in public in April, when they streamed a rugby league match between York City Knights and Catalans Dragons.
More recently, they streamed the second half of the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester United.
However, neither event was publicised in advance, so attracted a much smaller audience than the forthcoming competition in Russia should deliver.
Virtual spectators
In addition, the BBC plans to offer live virtual reality views of 33 games via a dedicated app, that will take account of the viewers' head movements.
It will be made available closer to the time on iOS and Android devices, as well as the Gear VR, Oculus Go and PlayStation VR headsets.
It will allow users to switch location to get the view from a "luxury private box" on high or from behind either of the two goals.
Image caption A VR view of the games will be provided via a computer-generated luxury box
While many experts see 4K and HDR as a natural evolution of today's normal broadcasts, there are doubts as to whether VR will become mainstream in the same way.
Sales of dedicated headsets have been weaker than originally forecast and compelling content has been limited - often because of the added cost involved in creating it.
If done well, live sports coverage could help drive demand, but the risk is that it feels like a gimmick.
"Virtual reality is still in its infancy and has still to catch on with the masses," commented Mr Madden.
"But it's an interesting way for people to see the World Cup."

Question: Virginia Is Giving Obamacare a Huge

represent this text to find a news title for it

Photo: Salwan Georges/The Washington Post/Getty Images
One of the nation’s longest and bitterest battles over implementation of the Affordable Care Act looks likely to end very soon as the Virginia Senate approved a budget that included funds to expand Medicaid. Vox has the story:
The Virginia state Senate voted Wednesday to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, with four Republicans crossing party lines to join all Senate Democrats in backing the move. The House of Delegates, which already passed a version of Medicaid expansion, will need to vote again to make expansion a reality, but the odds now seem overwhelming that Virginia will become the 33rd state to expand Medicaid (Washington, DC, has also expanded).
Democrats who have been battling for Medicaid expansion for years had to make some concessions to secure the handful of GOP votes they needed after their strong performance in the 2017 election. Like an increasing number of states being encouraged to move in this direction by the Trump administration, Virginia’s Medicaid expansion will include some work and cost-sharing requirements for beneficiaries. But it’s still very good news for up to 400,000 low-income Virginians who could become eligible for the wide array of services Medicaid provides.
The accomplishment is a testament in part to the negotiating skills of Governor Ralph Northam, who campaigned last year on making the expansion happen, and to the earlier efforts of his predecessor, Terry McAuliffe, who fought for the expansion throughout his tenure. Virginia will likely become the first state to officially expand Medicaid during the Trump administration, though Maine could soon join the club if lawsuits force Governor Paul LePage to implement a 2017 ballot initiative approving an expansion. Idaho and Utah are very likely to hold Medicaid expansion ballot initiatives this November, and proponents in Nebraska have until July to certify an initiative of their own.
For a health-care law that Donald Trump has been declaring “dead” or “dying” since 2013, Obamacare seems to have a lot of life in it yet, no thanks to his administration. Obama himself is probably sharing a bit of the good feelings among Democrats in Virginia.

Question: Apple’s HomePod stock will reportedly be limited at launch in Q4 2017

It’s no surprise that iPhone 8 supply will be constrained this fall, but the new smartphone might not be the only Apple product you’ll have trouble getting your hands on in late 2017. A report from Nikkei Asian Review indicates that electronics maker Inventec Appliances, which is expected to begin shipping the HomePod smart speaker before the end of the year, will start with a fairly limited supply.
Don't Miss : Galaxy Note 8 might launch as soon as next week
“We will finally ship the smart home device this year, but its contribution will be fairly limited and hopefully that will improve next year,” Inventec Appliances President David Ho said during an earnings conference. While Ho did not specify which “smart home device” he was referring to, market watchers believe that Apple’s HomePod is the device in question. It’s worth noting that Inventec Appliances is currently responsible for manufacturing Apple’s wireless AirPods as well.
“Inventec Appliances will likely only ship some 500,000 units of HomePod this year, and the device’s contribution to the group’s revenue will be less than 1%,” said Fubon Securities analyst Arthur Liao. So few units will inevitably lead to shortages, which could mean yet another AirPods-like conundrum for Apple. If you want to get a HomePod of your own, you either need a preorder or some patience.
Looking forward, a person with “direct knowledge” of Inventec’s plans claims that the company will split HomePod order with Hon Hai Precision Industry (aka Foxconn) beginning in 2018. Even with that split, Inventec officials still expect the company’s total shipments of smart and connected devices to grow about 20%. Apple hasn’t shared a precise release date for the HomePod yet, but the smart speaker is scheduled to launch at some point in December.

Apple appears to have caught up with iPhone X demand, and most models now ship from the company's site in just a few days.
MacRumors first noted the change in supply.
In the United States, almost all models of the white and black iPhone X can be ordered today for delivery between December 13 and December 15, just 2-5 days from now. This is an improvement since launch, when the iPhone X order page typically said it would ship within a couple of weeks.
The exception appears to be the T-Mobile 128GB and 256GB models, both in black and white, which will be delivered by Dec. 19 according to Apple's website. That's still an improvement and means most orders placed now should arrive before Christmas.
That should alleviate early concerns Apple wouldn't be able to meet demand during the holiday season.

Question: TBI course gives students first-hand look at solving murder cases

Represent this text to find a news title for it:

BELL BUCKLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – This week, 19 college students from across Tennessee are working in Bell Buckle to solve murder scenarios spread across three crime scenes.
The exercise is part of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Criminal Justice Academy.
The annual training program offers college student with an interest in criminal justice and forensics science hands on training from TBI specialists.
The students live on campus at the Tennessee Fire Service and Codes Enforcement Academy in Bell Buckle.
“It’s a crash course, hands-on chance for students to get an idea of some of the aspects that go into investigating crime scenes, “ TBI Public Information Officer Susan Niland said. “They have some classroom instruction from agents, take part in judgmental shooting and investigate set up crime scenes.”
In one of the scenarios, students are processing two crime scenes in a home. There are at least two people dead and they only know a little bit of information about what first responders were told happened.
Tessa Stevenson is a junior at Milligan College. She has a double major in political science and psychology with double minors in international studies and legal studies.
“I got set up with a tour last summer and then just looking through their web page I saw they have internships and different academies you can attend,” Stevenson said. “I have learned so much at the academy like photography and how to measure things.”
She continued, “You think you know how to do it because you see it on TV but when you put it into practice it’s so detailed.”
Tyler Yoder is a senior at Bryan College studying criminal justice. He also has a bond to the TBI through his father who is a special agent.
“We have only been out here a few hours,” Yoder said. “I can only imagine being out here a lot longer than this because there is a lot to it. It is just a shock really.”
After the students gather all the evidence they think is relevant they will spend Thursday preparing a presentation to explain their findings and theory of the crime.
Following the presentation, they will graduate the program. The students attend the academy from colleges across the country, though most are from Tennessee originally.
There is also an emphasis on promoting diversity among the group of 19 students.
The goal is to encourage the students who have an ongoing interest in working for the TBI to have a continued relationship with the agency.
There are two agents in basic criminal investigation school who are training to be TBI special agents who attended the CJA.

Question: Terror at Grace Mugabe’s farm

represent the article to find a fitting news title

For a while Tapiwa Daisi believed he would breathe his last on April 7.
BY OBEY MANAYITI
It was the day a group of armed plain-clothed and uniformed police officers descended on Arnold Farm in Mazowe.
Daisi, a father of five, remembers that it was 9am when he noticed a fire at his neighbours’ homestead and rushed to check if no one was in danger.
He found the homestead deserted and to his shock, a few minutes later he realised that his own homestead was on fire.
“I rushed there in the company of my uncle,” Daisi recalls.
“I couldn’t believe what I saw as I arrived. The plain-clothed officers were assaulting my wife and 15-year-old daughter with open hands, booted feet and switches.
“I cried out loud asking why they wanted to destroy my family.
“That is when the men said the person they wanted was me. They started assaulting me indiscriminately using wooden sticks, booted feet and open hands.
“The assault took quite some time but fellow villagers couldn’t come to my rescue because of fear.
“We all cried but they kept on assaulting us. Later on they tied my hands with a rope.”
Daisi, who occupied the plot he got at the height of the land reform programme in 2000, stayed with two other family members that helped him with farming activities.
He now stays in a shack on a roadside after his two houses at the plot were burnt down by the police officers. He is among tens of families that have been evicted from the farm in Mazowe in the last few weeks to make way for first lady Grace Mugabe, according to reports.
Daisi said after the assault, the police officers said they were taking him and his wife to meet President Robert Mugabe and his wife.
“I thought we were going to see the president and his wife but along the way the police officers constantly threatened that they could easily kill me by throwing me into Mazowe Dam,” he recalls.
“But after we had passed the dam they said they could shoot me and nothing would happen to them.
“Instead, they took us to the police station where one officer shouted at the policemen, saying they were supposed to bring people in body bags, not prisoners.”
Daisi thanked his gods when he was taken to Bindura General Hospital after human rights lawyers came to his rescue.
He said his whole body was swollen. Daisi and his daughter later sought treatment at a private hospital in Harare.
It is the grotesque torture and intimidation that has left families at the disputed farm on the edge.
When The Standard visited the farm recently, about 50 families had gathered outside Arnold Farm, along the Harare-Bindura highway.
The villagers convened an urgent meeting in the bush shortly after “law enforcers” had demolished houses, set livestock on different directions and assaulted a number of villagers.
“Three people, the husband, wife and child, have been badly beaten for refusing to leave their homestead even after everything they had was destroyed,” said one of the victims.
“They were taken to the police station but we hear the husband has lost one eye.”
The anger against Mugabe and his wife was evident as the villagers narrated their ordeal.
“How can people with more than 10 farms do this to us? When we fought for this country we all wanted to benefit and not to enrich one person,” lamented another victim.
“They will kill us here, we are not going anywhere,” another villager shouted as the news crew was being taken to one of the destroyed homesteads.
The villagers said they had been at the farm for about 17 years, having settled there in 2000 during the violent land invasions.
Arnold Farm used to be a game park. The first lady first showed interest in the property in 2009.
“We came here in 2000 after the president told us to settle on the farms.
“We stayed here until 2012 without any problem until they [law enforcers] came to tell us that we were not allowed to stay here anymore and they were going to look for alternative land for us,” said Jairos Mativenge.
“They wanted to give us very small pieces of land but we rejected them and stayed put at the farm.
“We said the government cannot do this to us because we deserve to be given adequate land, just like other people who were relocated since 1980.”
In 2014, Mativenge said police again demolished their homes in another bid to force them out.
“In 2015 they did the same. Now it’s 2017 and they are telling us to leave and they are beating us and destroying our houses, property and fields,” he said.
Robert Magora said their experience had left many wondering if Zimbabwe was a free country.
“We ask ourselves are we really Zimbabweans just like any other citizen of this country or we are aliens,” he said.
“If they think we are aliens, let them take us to those countries where we came from?
“The unfair part is that we are making Zanu PF win elections but after the resounding win, they chase us like baboons.
“Right now we don’t have anywhere to sleep and our children are being affected and mothers are giving birth right in the forest.”
Magora added: “If they say we came from Korea let them take us there and stop treating us like baboons that stay in mountains.
“This is Zimbabwe where our brothers, sisters and relatives contributed during the liberation struggle.
“This is not the Zimbabwe that we fought for.”
Sarudzai Muriro said the first family had many big farms in the area and evicting poor people from their plots was being heartless.
“Their daughter is now getting land ahead of those who fought for this country,” she said before listing some of the farms that allegedly belong to the first family.
“Police officers are telling us that this is not what they were taught at the Morris Depot,” she added.
“Truckloads of police officers come from Bindura to harass people who are settled here peacefully. When we try to engage the police officers, they say they are just following orders.”
Muriro said they could not report the harassment for fear of victimisation.
“The majority of those who come here are not uniformed. They are telling us that we will not be able to harvest our crops anymore,” she said.
“The majority of those who harass us are employees at their [Mugabe family] farms.
“We are heading towards independence and with this kind of treatment we don’t know if we are free at all, if we can call this a free country.”
Some of the villagers claimed a Form 2 girl was raped recently after her evicted mother had left her by the roadside as she returned to the farm in a bid to salvage some of the family’s property.
According to reports, the first family has more than 10 farms in Mashonaland Central and West provinces.
These include Gushungo Dairies, Mazowe Iron Mask, Mazowe Sigaro, Gwina, Leverdale, Highfield Farm, Bassiville, Smithfield, Cressydale in Norton and Tankatara, among others.
Another farm linked to Mugabe and his family is in Pomona, Harare.
Lands minister Douglas Mombeshora, however, claimed that it was not true that Mugabe and his family were multiple farm owners.
“Who are those people who tell lies? Let them give us the names of the farms but you must also remember that you are classified as a family with your wife and dependents below 21 years and any adult is allowed to own a farm,” he said.
“Your relative can own a farm, so people should stop looking for relatives’ farms.
“If they are talking about the president they must go and search for the farm, which he was given by the government.
Mashonaland Central Provincial Affairs minister Martin Dinha claimed people being evicted from Arnold Farm were illegal settlers.
But human rights groups have condemned the evictions, describing them as callous.
“This shameless act deserves to be condemned in the strongest of terms,” ZimRights chairperson Passmore Nyakureba said.
“The first lady is encouraged to desist from such detestable practices and play her role as the mother of the nation.
Nyakureba said it was disheartening that children and the elderly were being exposed to the “vagaries of weather and dangerous animals.”

Is one of Detroit's Big Three for sale to the Chinese?
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has reportedly rejected an acquisition bid by a Chinese automaker — but a variety of analysts and observers within the auto industry believe it could be just a matter of time before FCA is given an offer it would be willing to accept.
FCA was formed by the merger of Italy’s Fiat and Chrysler shortly after the Detroit carmaker emerged from its 2010 bankruptcy with the help of a massive federal bailout. Over the last several years, however, FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne has made it clear he is looking for another partner and might alternately consider the sale of all or part of his company.

“The only one who would have the money (and reason) to take over Fiat Chrysler Automobiles would be China,” said analyst David Sullivan, of the consulting form AutoPacific. “The Chinese seem more enthralled” with opportunities presented by key FCA brands like Jeep, Sullivan added, “than anyone else.”
Related: Why We Are Facing an Automotive Revolution
One of the big questions is how a Chinese takeover of the third-largest U.S. automaker would play out with the Trump administration, especially as President Donald Trump threatens to take action against China over a lopsided balance of trade.
Who Was Behind the Reported Bid?
Word of a bid by an unspecified Chinese automaker first appeared in the trade publication Automotive News on Monday morning. Sources told NBC News the bid may have come from Guangzhou Automobile Group, or GAC, which is based in a region traditionally known as Canton, in southern China.
GAC already has a relationship with FCA. Under Chinese law, foreign manufacturers must partner with a local company to produce vehicles in the country, and the Jeep Renegade began rolling off an assembly line operated by GAC Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in April 2016.
Related: Big Changes for the Big Three
Early this year, John Murphy, an analyst with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said he believed FCA could be purchased by a Chinese company within three to five years, with GAC being one of the more likely bidders.
But FCA officials also met with representatives of Great Wall Motors at the American maker’s suburban Detroit headquarters in May. Meanwhile, Michael Manley, a senior FCA executive who, among other things, oversees the Jeep brand, skipped a major media event he was supposed to attend last month to fly to China. It is not clear whether that trip was related to a purchase offer, normal business involving Jeep production in China or, perhaps, both.
A request for comment from FCA has not yet been returned.
The Biggest Market in the World
China’s automotive market is now the largest in the world, and carmakers have struggled to keep up with demand that has grown by double digits every year since the turn of the millennium. But that rate of growth has been slowing and is likely to run at less than 7 pecent for all of 2017, according to Chinese analysts and trade groups.
As things have slowed, local manufacturers have become more interested in finding new markets abroad. But homegrown Chinese carmakers have so far had only marginal success expanding abroad under their own names, in part due to concerns about the quality, reliability, and safety of their products. Zhejiang Geely has had arguably the biggest success by acquiring Volvo. The Swedish-based company now operates two assembly plants in China and is taking the lead in developing new products for the Geely brand. It is also expanding the export of Chinese-made Volvo products.

The same approach could work for GAC or another Chinese carmaker with deep enough pockets, suggested Joe Phillippi, head of AutoTrends Consulting. “We could see a mad scramble among the top three of four players in China to tie up with an American partner and FCA is the one most open.”
Marchionne has been openly looking for another partner and has approached a variety of potential Western allies, notably including General Motors, which turned him down flat. While Marchionne has most often suggested his goal is an alliance, he has not ruled out the sale of his company and, during a recent conference call with industry analysts acknowledged he would even consider selling off specific FCA brands.
What's for Sale?
The primary focus likely would be on the company’s two crown jewels, Jeep and Ram. Light truck sales are booming worldwide and, in the U.S. now account for almost two-thirds of the new vehicle market. Jeep sales have slid slightly this year, but only because of production issues related to a planned expansion of the brand. An all-new version of its iconic Wrangler model, for example, will soon start rolling off a completely refurbished plant in Toledo, Ohio. An assortment of new models, including a Jeep pickup and the reborn Wagoneer flagship model are in the pipeline, as well.
Related: Is FCA About to Sell Off Jeep and Ram?
“The timing couldn’t be better for a sale,” said analyst Sullivan. “While every other automaker is struggling with declining sales and bloated inventories of passenger cars, that’s not something that FCA has to deal with since they have a much less car-centric line-up.”
The question is what would be left if either Jeep or Ram — or both — were sold off. The two remaining U.S. brands, Chrysler and Dodge, have seen their product line-ups largely scaled back over the last several years, reflecting the rapid decline in sedan and coupe sales. The Fiat brand continues to struggle, especially in the U.S. And the planned, $6 billion revival of the Italian Alfa Romeo brand is still in the early stages.
For his part, Marchionne has said he also sees great potential for Alfa and the even more upscale Maserati brand in China.
Chinese Ownership After a Billion-Dollar Bailout?
How a Chinese acquisition of FCA would play out is far from certain, especially in today’s political climate. There could be strong opposition to the sale of a company saved only with the help of U.S. taxpayers — though FCA ultimately paid back the U.S. Treasury, unlike rival General Motors.
Related: Why You Should Watch this Move About the Auto Bailout
China, on the whole, is facing the threat of trade sanctions by the Trump administration because of a lopsided trade balance. In March, National Trade Council Director Peter Navarro declared “unacceptable” China’s policy on imports of foreign-made autos. The country has a 25 percent tariff on American-made vehicles. It also requires foreign companies such as FCA, Ford, and General Motors to enter an alliance with local Chinese companies if they want to produce vehicles in that country.
China hasn’t been the only target. In January, the new president warned Toyota it could face a “big border tax” if it didn’t shift more production to the U.S.
Toyota Motor said will build a new plant in Baja, Mexico, to build Corolla cars for U.S. NO WAY! Build plant in U.S. or pay big border tax. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2017
During his presidential campaign, Trump also repeatedly went after Ford for planning to shift small car production from an American plant to Mexico. Curiously, he was essentially silent when Ford more recently said it would, instead, build its compact Ford Focus in China.
“The Ford decision shows how flexible multinational companies are in terms of geography,” Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross responded to that announcement.
Nonetheless, with the president now putting Chinese trade back in the spotlight, anything that might boost the trade imbalance — and high-dollar cars could do that quickly — might trigger a sharp rebuke. But by acquiring FCA and retaining — and perhaps even expanding — its U.S. production base, some observers believe a Chinese automaker could enter the market without stirring up trade frictions.
