Question: U.S. Jobs Dropped By 33,000 In September, Likely Due To Storms

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

The U.S. economy shed 33,000 jobs in September, according to the latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, while unemployment fell to 4.2 percent.
It's the first time in seven years that the monthly jobs report has shown a loss of jobs, instead of at least some growth; the last job decline was in September 2010. But economists caution that the drop is likely representing the short-term consequences of bad weather, not a long-term shift in the job market.
Before this report, the economy had added an average of about 175,000 jobs per month; the unemployment rate has been at 4.3 or 4.4 percent since April.
Job growth in September was expected to be lower than usual because of the effects of several devastating hurricanes. Economists did not generally predict an actual decline, but a not-so-stellar report was widely anticipated.
"Hurricane Irma, in particular, occurred during the period when the Labor Department surveys job growth," reports NPR's Jim Zarroli. "So it's likely to have an especially big impact."
The Bureau of Labor Statistics agrees that hurricanes Harvey and Irma are the "likely" cause of a "sharp employment decline" in restaurant jobs, as well as low growth in other job fields.
People who have jobs but weren't paid during the survey period don't count as "employed" in the BLS statistics. That would include, for instance, a restaurant worker who is paid hourly and could not work for an extended period because of a storm.
The acting commissioner provided more context in a statement issued with the report.
"In September, 1.5 million workers had a job but were not at work for the entire reference week due to bad weather, the highest level for this series over the past 20 years," William Wiatrowski wrote. "This series is highly sensitive to the timing of weather events."
Not all the data were similarly affected. For instance, the storms had "no discernible effect" on the unemployment rate, the bureau says.
Stuart Hoffman, a senior economic advisor at PNC Financial Services, told Jim the effects of the storms are likely to be temporary, and the job market should recover by the end of the year.
The September jobs report also adjusted revised job growth in July and August downward; with those revisions, 38,000 fewer jobs were added this summer than had been previously reported.
Job growth has now averaged 91,000 jobs monthly for the past 3 months, the BLS says.

Question: Taiwan stocks fall with broader Asia ahead of Trump-Xi meeting

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

TAIPEI, April 6 Taiwan stocks fell on Thursday, in line with broader Asia, as worries lingered over trade relations ahead of a potentially tense meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, the first between the two leaders. The main TAIEX index fell 0.6 percent, to 9,885.83 points as of 0312 GMT, after closing up 1.4 percent in the previous session, its biggest one-day percentage gain since November. The Taiwan dollar softened T$0.139 to T$30.520 per U.S. dollar. The electronics subindex fell 0.7 percent, while the financials subindex lost 0.4 percent. Hon Hai Precision Industry , the world's largest contract electronics maker, pulled back about 1 percent. It had rallied nearly 8 percent on Wednesday after clocking in a strong 30 percent year-on-year net profit growth for the fourth quarter of last year. Taipei has expressed concerns about the Trump-Xi meeting, which comes at a time when Taiwan is engaged in fresh arms sales talks with the United States, its sole arms supplier. Arms sales to Taiwan angers China, which regards the self-ruled island part of its territory and has never ruled out the use of force to take control of what it sees as a wayward province.

Question: BP, Trafigura join shippers complaining to U.S. regulator about Colonial rates

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

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Units of BP PLC and Trafigura AG on Friday became the latest companies to file a complaint with a U.S. regulator over shipping rates charged by Colonial Pipeline Co, which operates the biggest fuel pipeline system in the United States.
The complaint follows an identical one from oil major Chevron Corp leading refiner Valero Energy Corp and Delta Air Lines Inc filed in November over the fees charged by Colonial to ship fuel, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
BP Products North America Inc, Trafigura Trading LLC and TCPU Inc urged FERC to set the matter for hearing and sought to consolidate their complaint with the November one.
“Good cause exists to believe that Colonial’s existing rates... are unjust and unreasonable,” the companies said in a 917-page complaint filed with the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
The complaints could lead to the first regulatory examination of Colonial Pipeline’s rates in nearly two decades. The pipeline hauls more than 3 million barrels of fuel from the refinery hub on the U.S. Gulf Coast to northeast distribution centers every day.
Chevron, Valero and Delta complained to FERC that Colonial overcharged the companies by more than $60 million combined, and is potentially monopolizing fuel delivery into the New York region.
BP and Trafigura joined the companies in alleging that Colonial’s opaque fee structure pushed its 2016 interstate revenue to exceed its costs by $339.3 million, earning it about a 29 percent realized return on equity.
“Excess earnings of this magnitude are far above the levels that the Commission has found to be sufficient to justify holding hearings in recent rate investigations of other pipelines,” BP and Trafigura said.
Overall, BP Products’ total estimated overpayment to Colonial for shipping fuel between January 2016 through December 2017, including so-called contentious “product loss allocation fees,” was $55.5 million, according to the complaint. Trafigura’s total estimated overpayment to Colonial during the same period was $27.2 million, the complaint said.
The companies seek reparations of those amounts and asked FERC to investigate whether Colonial should be allowed to charge market-based rates due to its monopoly in some markets.
Colonial could not immediately be reached for comment but the company defended its fees in December saying the complaint from Chevron, Valero and Delta was based on “purposefully manipulated” financial data.
Others including refiner Phillips 66, Flint Hills Resources LP and Castleton Commodities have filed to intervene in the proceeding.

Question: Trump Administration Takes Key Step To Rolling Back Auto Fuel Standards

The Trump administration has begun the process of rolling back tough fuel standards for America's car and light truck fleet.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department have opened the public comment period on the rewriting of standards for greenhouse gas emissions for cars and light trucks for model years 2022-2025.
"We are moving forward with an open and robust review of emissions standards, consistent with the timeframe provided in our regulations," EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said Friday. The 45-day period allows for the public to comment about regulations before proposed changes.
Corporate Average Fuel Economy rules were first put into place after the OPEC oil crisis in the 1970s. During the Obama administration, the CAFE rules were toughened in the wake of the financial crisis and the car company bankruptcies. The new standards called for an increased reliance on electric vehicles.
Low gas prices and sluggish sales of alternative fuel vehicles have made meeting those standards tough, especially for those companies more reliant on larger vehicles. Earlier this year, the EPA announced it would reconsider a decision late in the Obama administration to make the rules permanent.
The auto industry has hailed the decision to reopen the fuel standards. With the announcement, Mitch Bainwol, president and CEO of the Auto Alliance, a group of auto manufacturers, says, "the Administration is fulfilling its commitment to reinstate the midterm evaluation of future vehicle fuel economy and greenhouse gas standards."
Environmental and consumer advocacy groups decried the move. "By reopening the midterm evaluation, EPA is bringing back questions that have already been asked and answered," said Consumers Union, the policy arm of Consumer Reports.
Shannon Baker-Branstetter with Consumer's Union says her organization's studies show people want to save money on gas. According to a recent survey, 90 percent of Americans want automakers to raise fuel efficiency. Baker-Branstetter says adds "In fact, consumers are especially concerned about the fuel efficiency of the crossovers and SUVs they've been gravitating toward in recent years."
"What kind of changes may or may not be introduced is far from clear", says Stephanie Brinley, senior automotive analyst, IHS Markit. The agencies are expected to expand the data used to make the determination, specifically taking into consideration consumer behavior.
The public comment period allows the car companies and others to lobby to keep or make changes.
"Pressures from other government requirements and consumer interest in reducing fuel emissions are expected to continue to be aggressive," Brinley says.
Even if the U.S. scales back, she says, the movement toward higher standards will likely continue in other countries. Already this year, several countries said they would ban the sale of gasoline vehicles altogether within decades. Many analysts believe that rolling back fuel standards could jeopardize the near term future for electric vehicles.

Question: Pyeongchang’s Winding Path From Obscurity to Olympics Fame

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Even the town’s name was a problem. Originally spelled “Pyongchang” in English, it was often confused with Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. So in 2000, the town added a letter, capitalized another and changed its name to “PyeongChang,” though most foreign news agencies declined to use the capital C.
Despite the rebranding, a Kenyan man registered to attend a United Nations meeting in Pyeongchang in 2014 made headlines after he flew to Pyongyang by mistake.
Photo
In time, though, South Korea embraced Pyeongchang’s bid for the Games as its own. The nation’s leaders were eager to build global prestige and saw the Winter Games as a chance to become one of only a handful of countries that have hosted a “trifecta” of international sports events. (The World Cup took place in South Korea and Japan in 2002, and Seoul hosted the Summer Games in 1988.)
In a country where winter sports never quite caught on, only one other town with ski slopes, Maju, was interested in hosting the Olympics. Pyeongchang edged it out for national support, perhaps because it sits in a province that has been a major electoral battleground.
The government has poured $13 billion into the region, building a new bullet train and highway — and 97 tunnels and 78 bridges — to improve access to Pyeongchang from Seoul, as well as sporting facilities such as ice rinks and ski slopes.
While some residents worried about the impact on local forests, support for the Olympic bid has been almost universal in Pyeongchang: A poll taken at the time of the first bid showed nearly 94 percent support, and it has not wavered.
Photo
Many believe the area’s future lies in bolstering tourism and are hopeful the Winter Games will help. The service sector already accounts for 70 percent of the local economy, in part because vacationers drawn to the province’s scenic coast. But inland Pyeongchang has not really benefited; it’s betting that the Olympics will change that.
Advertisement Continue reading the main story
In lobbying for its bid, South Korea used a potential handicap — Pyeongchang’s proximity to the North Korean border, in a region bristling with troops and weaponry — as a selling point. Holding the Games in Pyeongchang, officials argued, would promote peace between two nations still technically at war.
The North did agree to send 22 athletes to the Games, and the two countries agreed to field a joint women’s ice hockey team.
A third of South Korea’s 600,000 military personnel are based in Gangwon Province. Many who were posted here as conscripts — all men in South Korea are required to serve about two years in the military — say they never want to see it again, so rugged are its hills and cold its winters.
Photo
Suspicion of North Korea is deeply etched here, as nowhere else in South Korea. The mountainous border is scarred with barbed wire, tank traps, land mines and guard posts. Hilltop loudspeakers blare K-pop songs daily toward the North, which counters by sending propaganda leaflets floating on balloons into the South.
Dreams of easing tensions and reunifying with the North one day are also more acutely felt here than anywhere else in South Korea. Many older people in the area came from the North as war refugees, settling near the border in hopes of returning quickly once the Koreas were reunified.
”Our dream is to one day take the train to go to North Korea and all the way across Siberia and to Berlin,” said Noh Yeon-su, curator of the DMZ Museum, referring to roads and rail lines that stop at the border, essentially making South Korea an island.
The province is also home to the so-called Peace Dam, a towering structure built on the Han River because of fears that another dam upstream in North Korea might release a killer flood, by accident or on purpose.
And it was in nearby Gangneung, where the ice hockey and speedskating events are scheduled to be held, that a North Korean submarine ran aground in 1996. Twenty-six crewmen and agents spilled out, setting off a huge manhunt in the area.
But Mr. Choi, the governor, shrugs off such concerns.
“Those of us who live here are not afraid of North Korea because the North, despite all its missile tests and bombast, doesn’t have an ability to fight a war,” he said. The economic output of his province, the South’s poorest, he noted, exceeds that generated by all of North Korea.

He added, “The happiest thing about the Olympics is that when foreigners see the Games taking place here, we can shake off our stigma as a dangerous place.”

Question: This clever engine-cleaning trick could save you money on your fuel bills

Happy motorists are claiming to have saved money on their fuel bill thanks to a new engine-cleaning service that has recently made its way to Wales.
The clever trick uses a special piece of equipment to remove carbon deposits from a vehicle's engine that has built up over time.
Carbon-clogged engines are known to cause performance issues which could result in your vehicle feeling sluggish and doing fewer miles on a full tank of fuel.
Engine Carbon Clean Wales claims it can help to restore a vehicle's engine which could increase its miles per gallon, reduce its emissions and improve its overall performance.
(Image: Carbon Clean)
Dozens of ecstatic motorists have already taken to the firm's Facebook page to express their delight in how well their car is performing after having the service done.
Steve Jay is one of them, and claims his Citroen C5 is in much better shape.
He said: "It's like driving a new car.
"It is more responsive, runs quieter, miles per gallon (MPG) has gone up from 41mpg to 47-48mpg, and it runs cooler - the temperature gauge has dropped by two points."
Sam Garner also saw the MPG increase on his 2006 Vauxhall.
He said: "My '06 Vectra 1.9CDTI feels more powerful, the power delivery is a lot smoother and feels quicker to respond to throttle movements.
"But best of all, my average MPG has jumped from 50.4mpg to 54.1mpg in just three weeks."
So how does it work?
Video Loading Video Unavailable Click to play Tap to play The video will start in 8 Cancel Play now
The service uses a device that converts ordinary tap water into hydrogen and oxygen, which is then passed through the air intake of an engine and out through the exhaust system.
Oxygen and hydrogen burn at a very-high temperature, and this heat, with an excess of oxygen, reacts with the built-up carbon in the engine - helping to remove it.
The 30-minute procedure is safe and doesn't require the engine to be taken apart or the use of harmful chemicals.
What problems can carbon build-up cause?
(Image: Engine Carbon Clean)
Rather than adding to your vehicle's performance, the service helps restore what has been lost through carbon build up in the engine.
It is known to cause issues like:
Smokey exhausts.
Loud and rumbling engines.
Reduced throttle response - a feeling of sluggishness.
Increased emissions and reduced MPG.
Issues with inner parts of the car.
How do I get the service done and how much is it?
Engine carbon cleaning works on any vehicle with an engine.
It starts from £50 for a motorcycle, £99 for a car and up to £299 for heavy vehicles like lorries and locomotives. Light aircraft can be serviced too.

Question: Site C dam project to miss river diversion deadline

B.C. Hydro contractors have run into “geotechnical and construction challenges” that mean the Site C dam project will not be able to make its target of diverting the Peace River in the summer of 2019.
B.C. Hydro president Chris O’Riley confirmed the delay in a letter to the B.C. Utilities Commission, estimating an extra cost of $610 million that brings the total estimate to $8.9 billion for the most expensive construction project in B.C. history.
O’Riley said there is enough money in the project’s contingency fund for the cost, and a “one-year float” in the project schedule means it can still be completed as scheduled by November 2024. Other risks remain, including a road realignment to avoid evicting the last two holdout farming couples who live on the narrow riverside land and have already been paid in an expropriation to make way for the dam.
“Due to the project’s complexity, we expect to continue to face risks in other areas, including our second largest procurement (i.e. the generating station and spillway) that remains open and the highway realignment,” O’Riley wrote. “We will work to mitigate those challenges.”
The project is undergoing a review by the commission on the orders of Premier John Horgan, who made it a prominent issue during his years as NDP opposition leader. Under a tight deadline of Nov. 1 to make recommendations to the B.C. cabinet, the commission has already noted that Site C has been drawing heavily on contingency funds to deal with a tension crack in the riverbank and other issues.
Energy Minister Michelle Mungall said the delay is not a result of the NDP government’s review, ordered after former B.C. Hydro CEO Jessica Macdonald was fired this summer. The new government has commissioned reports on the cost of delaying or abandoning the project, which O’Riley says should continue after two years of work and nearly $2 billion spent.
“Despite the challenges we have encountered and the risks that remain, our analysis continues to confirm that completing Site C as planned is still the most cost-effective option for our customers,” O’Riley said. “Suspending or terminating and finding the power we need from other sources – which carries its own set of uncertainties – would cost billions more than completing Site C.”

Per a new public poll issued by the Angus Reid Institute, Canadians are split right down the middle when it comes to the federal government’s decision to purchase the proposed TransMountain pipeline project. (Black Press files)
Twinning the B.C. section of the Trans Mountain pipeline will begin in the North Thompson by this fall, the company says in its latest six-month work schedule filed to the National Energy Board.
Work is underway along the entire line from Edmonton to Burnaby to set up temporary construction yards and camps with worker accommodation and construction offices, as well as pipe stockpile sites in Valemount, Blue River, Clearwater, Merritt and Hope.
Work is scheduled to begin in September to clear and survey a 120 km section of pipeline route between Mt. Robson Provincial Park and Blue River, connecting to a longer section between Edmonton and Jasper National Park in Alberta.
Work includes wildlife surveys, weed control and relocation of rare plants to comply with the 157 conditions required by the NEB and a further 37 conditions in the B.C. government’s environmental certificate. Despite federal and provincial approvals and what the company calls “unprecedented scrutiny,” the project continues to be dogged by orchestrated protests.

Question: Crash marks 1st death involving fully autonomous vehicle

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — A fatal pedestrian crash involving a self-driving Uber SUV in a Phoenix suburb could have far-reaching consequences for the new technology as automakers and other companies race to be the first with cars that operate on their own.
The crash Sunday night in Tempe was the first death involving a full autonomous test vehicle. The Volvo was in self-driving mode with a human backup driver at the wheel when it struck 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg as she was walking a bicycle outside the lines of a crosswalk in Tempe, police said.
Uber immediately suspended all road-testing of such autos in the Phoenix area, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Toronto. The ride-sharing company has been testing self-driving vehicles for months as it competes with other technology companies and automakers like Ford and General Motors.
Though many in the industries had been dreading a fatal crash they knew it was inevitable.
Tempe police Sgt. Ronald Elcock said local authorities haven’t determined fault but urged people to use crosswalks. He told reporters at a news conference Monday the Uber vehicle was traveling around 40 mph when it hit Helzberg immediately as she stepped on to the street.
Neither she nor the backup driver showed signs of impairment, he said.
“The pedestrian was outside of the crosswalk, so it was midblock,” Elcock said. “And as soon as she walked into the lane of traffic, she was struck by the vehicle.”
The National Transportation Safety Board, which makes recommendations for preventing crashes, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which can enact regulations, sent investigators.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi expressed condolences on his Twitter account and said the company is cooperating with investigators.
The public’s image of the vehicles will be defined by stories like the crash in Tempe, said Bryant Walker Smith, a University of South Carolina law professor who studies self-driving vehicles. It may turn out that there was nothing either the vehicle or its human backup could have done to avoid the crash, he said.
Either way, the fatality could hurt the technology’s image and lead to a push for more regulations at the state and federal levels, Smith said.
Autonomous vehicles with laser, radar and camera sensors and sophisticated computers have been billed as the way to reduce the more than 40,000 traffic deaths a year in the U.S. alone. Ninety-four percent of crashes are caused by human error, the government says.
Self-driving vehicles don’t drive drunk, don’t get sleepy and aren’t easily distracted. But they do have faults.
“We should be concerned about automated driving,” Smith said. “We should be terrified about human driving.”
In 2016, the latest year available, more than 6,000 U.S. pedestrians were killed by vehicles.
The federal government has voluntary guidelines for companies that want to test autonomous vehicles, leaving much of the regulation up to states.
Many states, including Michigan and Arizona, have taken a largely hands-off approach, hoping to gain jobs from the new technology, while California and others have taken a harder line.
California is among states that require manufacturers to report any incidents during the testing phase. As of early March, the state’s motor vehicle agency had received 59 such reports.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey used light regulations to entice Uber to the state after the company had a shaky rollout of test cars in San Francisco. Arizona has no reporting requirements. Hundreds of vehicles with automated driving systems have been on Arizona’s roads.
Ducey’s office expressed sympathy for Herzberg’s family and said safety is the top priority.
The crash in Arizona isn’t the first involving an Uber autonomous test vehicle. In March 2017, an Uber SUV flipped onto its side, also in Tempe. No serious injuries were reported, and the driver of the other car was cited for a violation.
Herzberg’s death is the first involving an autonomous test vehicle but not the first in a car with some self-driving features. The driver of a Tesla Model S was killed in 2016 when his car, operating on its Autopilot system, crashed into a tractor-trailer in Florida.
The NTSB said that driver inattention was to blame but that design limitations with the system played a major role in the crash.
The U.S. Transportation Department is considering further voluntary guidelines that it says would help foster innovation. Proposals also are pending in Congress, including one that would stop states from regulating autonomous vehicles, Smith said.
Peter Kurdock, director of regulatory affairs for Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety in Washington, said the group sent a letter Monday to Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao saying it is concerned about a lack of action and oversight by the department as autonomous vehicles are developed. That letter was planned before the crash.
Kurdock said the deadly accident should serve as a “startling reminder” to members of Congress that they need to “think through all the issues to put together the best bill they can to hopefully prevent more of these tragedies from occurring.”
___
Krisher reported from Detroit. Susan Montoya Bryan in Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Felicia Fonseca in Flagstaff, Arizona, contributed to this story.

Police said Herzberg was walking a bicycle across the street outside the crosswalk when she was struck.
Cameras on the SUV captured video footage of the accident from both inside and outside the vehicle, Tempe Police Sgt. Ronald Elcock told reporters during a press conference Monday night.
"It will definitely assist in our investigation," he said.
The driver, who was not controlling the vehicle at the time of the accident, was identified as Rafael Vasquez, 44.
Hours after the crash, Uber announced the suspension of all tests of its autonomous vehicles in Pittsburgh, Phoenix, San Francisco and Toronto.
"Some incredibly sad news out of Arizona," Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi tweeted. "We’re thinking of the victim’s family as we work with local law enforcement to understand what happened."

A Twitter account for Uber's communications department said the ride-sharing company is cooperating with Tempe police.
Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell released a statement saying that the city will investigate the accident.
"The City of Tempe has been supportive of autonomous vehicle testing because of the innovation and promise the technology may offer in many areas, including transportation options for disabled residents and seniors," Mitchell said in the statement. "Testing must occur safely. All indications we have had in the past show that traffic laws are being obeyed by the companies testing here. Our city leadership and Tempe police will pursue any and all answers to what happened in order to ensure safety moving forward.”
Self-driving cars have been hailed by technology companies as the wave of the future. Autonomous cars are already being tested in more than 30 cities around the world, with companies plowing more than $80 billion into research and development.
Self-driving cars work by using complex radar systems to observe the road, objects and other cars. That data is then fed into a computer that decides what the car should do next. Proponents of the technology have claimed that self-driving cars will make transportation safer.
"Everyone recognized that someone was going to die in a crash involving an autonomous vehicle eventually," Bryant Walker Smith, a law professor at the University of South Carolina who studies risks in automated driving systems, told NBC News.
"As good as that technology tries to be, mistakes can happen, or it may be one of the small fraction of crashes that cannot overcome the laws of physics and be avoided.
"I just think everybody kind of hoped that one wouldn’t come this soon."
Smith added that because federal and state agencies don't have the resources to monitor individual vehicles, the onus for safety falls on the individual companies running the technology.
Self-driving cars have been involved in accidents before, including in Tempe. Uber previously suspended its testing in March 2017 after one of its autonomous cars was involved in an accident.
The National Transportation Safety Board announced that a four-person team has been sent to Tempe to investigate the crash.

Question: Walmart offers employees new perk: cheap access to college

article
Walmart is offering its employees a new perk: affordable access to a college degree.
Continue Reading Below
America's largest private employer, which in the past has helped its workers get their high school or equivalency degrees, hopes the new benefit will help it recruit and retain higher quality entry-level employees in a tight U.S. labor market.
The company is working with Denver-based startup Guild Education to give employees the chance to obtain a bachelor's degree in business or supply-chain management. It will cost a dollar a day at one of three nonprofit universities with online programs that have had success working with adult learners: the University of Florida, Brandman University and Bellevue University. It plans to eventually expand to more types of degrees.
It will also offer college-prep classes for workers who need extra help. Walmart is subsidizing the cost of tuition, books and fees.
Both full-time and part-time workers who have been with the company at least 90 days will be eligible, Walmart said. About 68,000 of Walmart's 1.4 million U.S. employees are expected to enroll in the first five years, based on interest from its workers, said Julie Murphy, executive vice president of people at Bentonville, Arkansas-based Walmart. Walmart declined to disclose the cost of the program.
The move underscores how retailers and restaurant chains are under increasing pressure to improve the skills of their workers as shoppers move online. Store chains including Walmart have also raised wages as low unemployment gives trained retail workers more options.

Walmart has said the tax overhaul helped it also give workers one-time bonuses and expand parental leave benefits. Critics say Walmart should share even more of its profits with employees. But a shareholder proposal presented Wednesday, calling on the company to invest as much money in the stock plan for employees as it does on share buybacks, was rejected.
Also defeated were proposals that would require Walmart to publish a report on racial and ethnic pay gaps and to create an independent chair.
The partnership with Guild Education goes beyond Walmart's current program covering the cost of workers and eligible family members for earning a high school diploma or GED equivalent. The company also grooms managers at its Walmart Training Academy, and has a career program for entry-level workers.
Guild Education, founded in 2015, works with other national chains like Chipotle Mexican Grill, Taco Bell and Lowe's, on their employee education programs. But Rachel Carlson, CEO and co-founder of Guild Education, says its partnership with Walmart is unique in several ways, including its low upfront costs.
Walmart's move puts it more in league with Starbucks, which three years ago began offering four years of tuition for an online college degree from Arizona State University.

Lyft is adding Guild Education as a benefit to its drivers in the US, the company announced Monday.
Drivers have access to a free education mentor, and can access online classes from a variety of universities and schools at a discounted rate.
It's a unique employee benefit in the gig-economy, where contract workers drive on their own time but lose out on common full-time benefits like matched retirement funds and subsidized healthcare.
Lyft is adding educational discounts and mentorship as a benefit for its contracted drivers through a partnership with Guild Education. The benefits, announced Monday, will roll out nationwide this week.
Gabe Cohen, general manager of the Rocky Mountain region for Lyft, said that the company added the benefit after discovering that most of its drivers use Lyft as a way to earn money while pursuing other interests.
The company said that over 93 percent of its drivers work fewer than 20 hours a week, and that 92 percent are otherwise employed, looking for work, full-time students, or retirees.
Through Guild Education, drivers will have access to a personal education mentor, paid for by Lyft, as well as discounted tuition on online classes offered from a variety of schools and universities — ranging from master's degrees to vocational courses. Discounts range from 5% to 20%, depending on the class.
Guild Education also works with large companies like Chipotle and Taco Bell to provide similar benefits to part-time employees.
Cohen said he expects English-as-a-second language courses to be popular, though he knows of drivers interested in doing everything from finishing up an associates degree to pursuing a career as a geneticist.
As contract workers, Lyft drivers don't qualify for the company-funded health benefits and 401k matching that most companies offer their full-time employees, though Lyft directs drivers to gig-economy benefit providers like Honest Dollar and eHealthMarketplace.
This is similar to Lyft's competitor Uber, which gives drivers healthcare recommendations and encourages retirement accounts through the investment company Betterment, but doesn't offer drivers its full-time employee benefits.

Question: WAC lawyer: We prepare an appeal to submit to the Presidium of Supreme Court in Russia

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

© Report
Moscow. 3 October. REPORT.AZ/ If there is no possibility to preserve the organization of the All-Russian Azerbaijan Congress (WAC), it is necessary to create a new one.
Russian bureau of Report News Agency was told by President of the Guild of Russian Lawyers, member of the WAC Presidium and its official representative in the consideration of a case on its liquidation in the Supreme Court of Russia, Hasan Mirzoyev.
"Maximum efforts are made to preserve the organization”, Mirzoyev said.
He recalled that during his speech in the court on the WAC case, he himself explained for what reasons there were miscalculations in the organization's activities and asked for time to eliminate them.
"However, violations of the law were so obvious that the court upheld the verdict on liquidation," lawyer added.
According to H. Mirzoyev, liquidation of WAC is a "personal tragedy" for him. "I myself am a Tat, but spiritually, as a state of mind, I am an Azerbaijani. For me, the WAC is a home organization, that's why I'm concerned about its current state and most importantly - the lack of solidarity in all aspects of the diaspora, "the president of the guild emphasized.
He pointed out that many natives of Azerbaijan in Russia "live their own life", plunge into business, as a result they are no longer so much interested in diaspora.Mirzoyev also said that at the moment an appeal is being prepared for consideration of the case in the Presidium of the Supreme Court of Russia.
Speaking about the possible creation of a new diaspora structure of Azerbaijanis in Russia, a member of the WAC Presidium noted that "if there is no possibility to preserve the old organization, then it is necessary to create a new one, taking into account all the mistakes and miscalculations of the old one."
"I think this is absolutely the right move. It is necessary to re pass Constituent Congress, write the Charter and elect governing bodies. In the organization, and especially in its leadership, there should be people personifying a real modern Azerbaijani - a person with a European education, but with eastern wisdom, an intellectual who knows the culture and traditions of the people", H. Mirzoyev said.
Notably, on May 15, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation granted the claim of the Russian Ministry of Justice on the liquidation of the public organization All-Russian Azerbaijani Congress (WAC) due to the inconsistency of its charter with Russian legislation. On September 19, the Supreme Court of Russia upheld the decision to liquidate the WAC.

Question: New York to remove highway signs after feds threaten to pull $14M

represent the article to find a fitting news title

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York state will replace hundreds of tourism signs along its highways after officials in Washington said the state would lose $14 million in federal funding if the signs weren’t removed.
State officials announced Friday evening that they will install new signs this summer and will consult with the federal government on the signs’ designs.
New York spent more than $8 million on the “I Love NY” signs in recent years. Federal officials told Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo to remove them because they were unsafe, but he refused. The federal officials warned the state Thursday that it would lose $14 million unless it complies with the sign regulations by June 30.
State officials stopped short of admitting defeat, saying the new signs are needed anyway for a new tourism campaign.

Governor, did you not sign into law removing stream bed access to thousands of fishermen and boaters? Governor, did you not sign into law authorizing the state to waste $14 million on a lawsuit to “take back” lands from the federal government that have never belonged to the state? Governor, did you not sign into law authorizing spending $300,000 to prevent a nonexistent wolf population in the state? Governor, did you not sign into law authorizing a $53 million shell game with CIB monies for an out-of-state coal port rather than help the Utah communities for which it was intended? And finally, governor, did you not sign a resolution to rescind Bears Ears National Monument and to shrink Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument?

Question: Who gets the money? Questions raised about official GoFundMe account for Las Vegas shooting victims

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — One way people are honoring the lives lost in the shooting at the Route 91 music festival is by opening up their wallets.
MGM Resorts already donated a whopping $3 million to the victims and their families, and Sheldon Adelson and the Las Vegas Sands Corporation donated $4 million.
Zappo’s, the UFC, and Station Casinos have all pledged $1 million each.
Many individuals are also donating what they can, including more than $9 million raised in a GoFundMe campaign started by Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak and Sheriff Joe Lombardo.
But exactly how will the money will be put into the hands of those who need it?
The LasVegasNow.com I-Team tried to find out.
The outpouring of generosity has been inspirational and astounding. The GoFundMe effort is perhaps the best example of that.
As of Thursday evening, that fund stood at $9.5 million raised in just a few days from 77,000 donations. So, how will the money be spent, and who will administer the funds?
“We set up a GoFundMe account because the sheriff and I thought that we could maybe help some of these victims with funeral expenses, with travel expenses,” Sisolak said.
Commissioner Sisolak’s idea to team up with Sheriff Joe Lombardo in starting a fund to help shooting victims quickly exceeded expectations.
It is not clear how the millions of dollars in the fund will be dispersed. At Wednesday’s county commission meeting, the discussion focused on whether a third party such as the National Center for Victims of Crime could be brought in to handle the administrative duties. Those duties include getting the money into the hands of those who need it most by paying for ongoing medical treatments, travel expenses for the wounded and funeral expenses for those who died.
On Thursday, the I-Team learned another potential partner surfaced. Discussions were held behind the scenes between Commissioner Sisolak’s staff and individuals with experience in administering funds raised in the wake of a tragedy. In particular, the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013. Three people were killed and hundreds were injured. Donations exceeded $60 million.
Boston’s experience could serve as a model. However, no agreement has been reached.
“We are in the process now of deciding strategy and structure, how to give out the money. We had people today who flew in to meet with county staff to try and coordinate this. The sheriff and I are not involved with this. We started it, but that’s the extent of what we plan to do,” Sisolak said.
It is not known how and to whom the Las Vegas money would be distributed, but a large chunk of the donated money will stay with GoFundMe, the company which hosts the fundraising webpage.
GoFundMe charges a standard 7.9 percent of all the money raised plus a fee of 30 cents per donation. As of thursday evening, 77,000 individual donations have been made from 75 countries around the world.
That means the total fee charged by GoFundMe for hosting the Las Vegas page could exceed $776,000 dollars.
Whether GoFundMe can be talked into cutting some slack on its fees is unknown.
Commissioner Sisolak said that in addition to a group from Boston, county staff also met with groups who managed similar funds following tragedies in New York and Orlando. Whoever administers the Las Vegas fund must agree to allow for local control in vetting which people qualify to receive some of the money.

Question: Scholar Athlete: Victoria Sunday, Poth High School

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

What are you most excited about for your senior year and why?
I am most excited about the many firsts and lasts that I will be experiencing. I am excited to know what it's like walking to get my diploma and shake my principal's hand, then joining my fellow classmates in celebrating the end of many amazing years together. I am excited to determine my college and getting ready to attend. I am also excited to get into new learning and independence.
What drives you to be successful in the classroom and in your particular sport?
My work ethic in the classroom and in sports is from my leaders, which would be none other than my father and my volleyball coach. They both have taught me to push through whatever pain I may endure and keep my eye on my goal. I know that I must work hard every time I am in the gym, classroom or on the field. They both participated in sports in college and have a passion for bettering people. I am thankful that they chose to work on me in developing me as an athlete.
How do you balance homework, participation in sports and spending time with family and friends?
Over the past few years, I have learned that I don't have that much time for social events with my friends because of a busy schedule, so I try to enjoy my time with my friends at school. As for my family, I live in a single-parented household with my dad and brother. My mother and stepfather live in Arizona, and I unfortunately only get to visit them a few days out of the year. As for school and sports, I always study and work out when I can. I wake up early to get to school and get home late from practice on a normal day. I usually find time to work out on the weekends when I am available.
How do you want to be remembered at school once you graduate?
I want to be remembered as a role model for athletes younger than me. I want people to learn the number of hours I spent working to get better at everything I do. I also want to be a role model that expresses humbleness and encouragement. I would like to believe that I don't always brag about my achievements, but I know that might not always be the case. I have always encouraged the younger athletes to always do things the right way.
Where do you want to attend college, major in and why?
I would like to attend college at either Texas State or Texas Lutheran University. I want to major in physical therapy because I have a love of helping people get better. Also, I was a patient for 6 months my freshman year in high school when I tore my ACL in a varsity basketball game. During this time, I learned so much that I keep with me today.
If you could have one super hero power, what would it be and why?
If I had one super hero power, it you must be the power to fly, so that I can go where I would like to more efficiently. I have many plans and it would help me get places faster.
If you could take any athlete or celebrity to your senior prom, who would it be and why?
I would take Tim Duncan, or a younger version of him. He is so amazing at basketball and was my role model for so many years. I always remember watching him on TV with my family and I learned so much from his game. I always wanted to know about him and what got him to the NBA and have his jersey retired. He is truly amazing in my book.

Enrique Marquez Jr., 25, of Riverside, Calif., is accused of purchasing the assault rifles used in the San Bernardino terrorist attack, and has agreed to plead guilty to federal criminal charges.
Benjamin Gottlieb of member station KCRW tells our Newscast unit:
In his plea, Marquez admits that his friend, Syed Rizwan Farook, paid him for the assault rifles used to kill 14 people and injure 22 others in December of 2015. That's when Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik opened fire at a holiday party of Farook's coworkers at the Inland Regional Center. Marquez also admits he conspired with Farook in 2011 and 2012 to attack Riverside City College (RCC) — as well as commuter traffic on a major freeway in Southern California. Those plans never materialized.
U.S. Attorney Eileen Decker said, "While his earlier plans to attack a school and a freeway were not executed, the planning clearly laid the foundation for the 2015 attack on the Inland Regional Center."
Prosecutors say there is no evidence that Marquez participated in the San Bernardino attack or had advance knowledge about it.
He did acknowledge that he was a "straw buyer" when he purchased two high-powered rifles used in the San Bernardino attack.
According to a Justice Department statement:
"Straw purchasers are criminals who are the beginning of the chain of violence in our country," said ATF Special Agent in Charge Eric D. Harden. "It is purchases like Marquez's that led to the terror on that tragic day in San Bernardino. The crime goes beyond making a false statement on a government form. It puts guns in the hands of criminals who will victimize the community. In this case, the straw purchase is as reprehensible as the attack."
Mandy Pifer, whose boyfriend Shannon Johnson was killed in the terror attack, told The Associated Press that Marquez's plea agreement brought mixed emotions:
"It's a hell of a day to come out, Valentine's Day," the 42-year-old Los Angeles resident said. "I'm relieved that it won't be a long trial. If it'll be finished sooner, I'm all for it." She said she planned to speak at Marquez's sentencing about the impact her boyfriend's killing has had on her. In his last moments, Johnson huddled with a colleague under a table, shielding her from the bullets. "It is what it is," she said. "Nothing's going to bring him back."
Marquez is expected to formally enter his guilty pleas Thursday morning.
He has been in custody since he was ordered detained at his initial court appearance in this case on Dec. 17, 2015.
Marquez faces up to 25 years in federal prison.

Question: Detained by US, Mexican journalist fears death if deported

HOUSTON (AP) — Advocates for a Mexican journalist detained in a remote West Texas facility asked the U.S. government to grant him asylum instead of deporting him to a country where he believes he'll be killed.
Emilio Gutierrez Soto fled to the United States a decade ago after articles he wrote alleging corruption in the Mexican military caused his name to end up on a hit list. Mexico is one of the world's most dangerous places for journalism, likened to countries such as Syria and Iraq. At least 11 journalists have been killed in Mexico this year.
After coming within hours of possible deportation, Gutierrez, 54, is now appealing that denial. The National Press Club and other press freedom advocates held an event Monday highlighting Gutierrez's case and those of other reporters whose lives were in danger.
Speaking by phone from a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Sierra Blanca, Texas, Gutierrez accused Mexican leaders of being complicit in the violence of drug cartels and the murders of journalists, though he did not make specific allegations.

"The biggest criminal organization is the government," Gutierrez said. "I'm afraid to take one step into Mexico."
The U.S. government historically rejects most asylum claims. Over a five-year period ending in September 2016, the U.S. received about 267,000 asylum claims and granted 46,000.
It has granted asylum in recent years to a number of Mexican journalists. But Eduardo Beckett, Gutierrez's lawyer, accused the U.S. of turning a blind eye to corruption and violence in Mexico, and blamed the Trump administration for changing how it deals with asylum seekers.
"There is no more humanity," Beckett said. "The new tactic is, we'll pressure you, we'll keep you detained, in hopes you'll give up."
Another Mexican journalist did just that earlier this year. After spending nearly four months in an immigration facility, reporter Martin Mendez Pineda returned to Mexico and went into hiding.
Mexico has created a federal protection program for journalists, with about 600 enrollees nationwide. But one reporter in the program was killed earlier this year, and others question whether the federal government has the power or the will to protect them. Meanwhile, high-profile killings have continued, including the death of Javier Valdez, a legendary reporter who covered drug trafficking in Sinaloa state.
Gutierrez worked for El Diario del Noroeste, a newspaper in the state of Chihuahua. He said his problems began after he wrote articles that alleged military forces were robbing and extorting local people in Chihuahua, which borders New Mexico and part of West Texas.
After receiving what his advocates called veiled threats, Gutierrez discovered his name had been placed on a hit list. So he fled north with his teenage son and entered the U.S. in 2008, seeking asylum.
He spent seven months in detention before his release in January 2009, while his application for asylum remained pending.
Beckett said that Gutierrez was no longer working in journalism while living in the West Texas border city of El Paso. Instead, he supported himself by operating a food truck, Beckett said. His son, now 24, works in a restaurant. But while in the United States, Gutierrez heard from people back in Mexico that if he returned, he would end up like other journalists who were killed.
After nine years, a judge denied his asylum request in July, and the U.S. Board of Immigration Appeals dismissed his appeal in November.
His advocates say he came close to being sent back to Mexico before the appeals board on Thursday issued a stay of his deportation.
The U.S. Department of Justice and the Mexican foreign affairs ministry did not return messages seeking comment Monday. ICE said in a statement that Gutierrez remains in the agency's custody "pending disposition of his immigration case."

Question: US beats host India 3-0 in Under-17 World Cup opener

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Josh Sargent converted a penalty kick in the first half, Chris Durkin and Andrew Carleton added goals in the second and the United States opened the Under-17 World Cup with a 3-0 win over host India on Friday in New Delhi.
Sargent, a forward from O’Fallon, Missouri, who signed with Germany’s Werder Bremen last month, was tripped in the penalty area and beat Dheeraj Moirangthem to the goalkeeper’s right with a penalty kick in the 30th minute.
Durkin, who debuted for D.C. United in the 2016 U.S. Open Cup, doubled the lead in the 51st with a left-footed volley from just past the penalty spot that deflected in off a defender after India failed to clear Blaine Ferri’s corner kick.
Carleton, who made his Major League Soccer debut for Atlanta United in May, rounded Moirangthem to score in the 84th.
The U.S. outshot India 19-8 and leads Group D on goal difference over Ghana, which opened with a 1-0 win over Colombia. The Americans play Ghana on Monday in New Delhi and Colombia on Thursday at Navi Maubai.

Question: “Straws suck” owner of popular Bedfordshire pub makes a statement with plastic ban

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

When Oakman Inns was founded 12 years ago by its CEO, Peter Borg-Neal, his vision was that he would not only create a highly-regarded, very successful business but that Oakman Inns would be a sustainable organisation that would contribute to its local community rather than exploit it.
Oakman, which runs the White Hart in Ampthill, is ditching plastic straws this weekend.
Peter Borg-Neal CEO of Oakman Inns
As the company’s many awards and accolades testify, Oakman has consistently achieved those aims. However, over the years that vision has broadened to encompass a much more holistic approach to sustainability and the Oakman team always believes there is more to do.
Which is why Mr Borg-Neal and his colleagues are launching their own BAN THE STRAW campaign - #banthestraw - on Earth Day this Saturday April 22, declaring “we believe straws suck”.
The company currently uses over 100,000 plastic straws a month across its 17-strong group. While the company is highly-rated by The Sustainable Restaurant Association for its many green policies including plastic, glass and container recycling, the sheer number of straws consumed had begun to be a concern.
“Our monthly straw consumption sounds enormous, but compared to the estimated 500m straws that are used and discarded in the USA every day, it’s still a hugely dangerous and an everlasting drop in the ocean. And that is rather the point, “explains Peter. “It sounds ridiculous, but it is entirely accurate to say, that every plastic straw that was ever made, still exists today. They pollute landfills, rivers, roadsides, sewers, beaches and of course oceans and this relatively small amount that this pub group is taking out of circulation, needs to be repeated by every one of my colleagues across the hospitality industry.”
If customers ask for a straw, they will, of course, be offered an eco-friendly alternative, as Oakman is entirely sympathetic to their customers’ wishes.
Alex Ford, Oakman’s operations director, said; “From 2020, all plastic cutlery and plates will be banned in France. Bangladesh was the first country in the world in 2002 to ban plastic shopping bags and California banned single-use plastic bags in 2014. Yes, the UK has introduced a charge for plastic carrier bags and has banned microbeads, the tiny plastic balls used in cosmetics and cleaning products, but I believe we all have to do more. Because pretty soon, every fish we eat will have ingested some plastic and that will become a truly global environmental disaster that will probably be impossible to solve.”
Peter added: “At Oakman we try to live by our values every day, and we hope that those values and our commitment to sustainability means that everyone here is contributing to a better future for us all.”

Malibu officials say they’ve looked at the numbers: an estimated 500 million straws are thrown away every day in the U.S. A recent study estimated that there are about 7.5 million plastic straws littering America’s beaches. And a widely cited World Economic Forum report predicts there could be more plastic by weight than fish in the world's oceans by 2050.
Plastic is viewed as a dangerous source of marine pollution. A video of a sea turtle with a straw stuck up its nose went viral, and added to calls for plastic straw use to be outlawed.
Malibu officials decided they can make a difference. They have a long history of this: they banned plastic bags in 2008, eight years before the statewide ban took effect. The city also banned single-use styrofoam containers.
The new regulation also requires consumers to request a straw if they want one rather than automatically being given one.
And Malibu’s not alone. Manhattan Beach and Seattle have already banned plastic straws. New York City is considering such a ban right now. So is the European Union.
And other coastal communities in Washington State, Florida and New Jersey are doing the same.
Santa Monica already has a plastic food packaging ban in place and is planning to extend that to include plastic straws (as well as lids, utensils, stirrers and lid plugs). The city will hold a public meeting on Thursday to answer questions and hear local concerns.
The primary concern seems to be, what is the alternative to plastic? Options include glass, wood, bamboo, metal -- and pasta! (The very first straws, incidentally, were rye -- essentially grass -- straws.)
The owner of the Paradise Cove restaurant in Malibu has got publicity for his straws made of pasta. He says they are better and take less time to decompose. Or you can cook and eat them afterwards!
However, the most common alternative right now is paper and that has people complaining that paper straws go soggy in liquid.
Ian Nelson, an SMC student, told the student paper Corsair that “giving people straws that do not work is silly. Paper straws should not be a thing unless they function comparably to plastic ones.”
Another student, Caro Vilain, said, “if you use straws, but don't like paper straws, just get your own reusable one.”
But she also added a great response: “I personally don't have to worry about not having a straw because I was born with lips, they do a pretty good job at letting me drink out of a cup.”
Predictably, the plastics industry argues that communities can do a better job of recycling plastic straws, and that banning plastic straws alone will not solve threats to marine life.
Some businesses complain that plastic straws are cheaper than alternatives made of paper, bamboo, wood or glass. Note that last week McDonald's shareholders rejected -- by a huge majority -- a proposal to take a step toward a ban on plastic straws. The fast food chain is said to distribute an estimated 95 million single-use straws around the world every day. But they won’t be allowed plastic straws in their McDonalds in Malibu.
According to Malibu Mayor Rick Mullens, the only voice of opposition to the city’s plastic straw ban came from the owner of the local McDonalds.
This has also managed to become a political issue.
Democratic Assembly Majority Leader Ian Calderon has introduced a bill that bars sit- down restaurants from providing plastic straws unless a customer requests one.
This bill and two other anti-plastic bills have sparked intense pushback by conservatives and a coalition of manufacturers and industry groups. GOP Assemblyman Travis Allen even tweeted: “California Democrat Leader Ian Calderon wants to ban PLASTIC STRAWS. Is there any part of your life that Democrats don’t want to control? As Governor, this is exactly the type of legislation that I will VETO.”
However, Malibu’s Mayor Rick Mullen said “I am a no-party preference person. And to be honest with you I think this is kind of a no-party issue.” He likens it to anti-littering and anti-smoking campaigns of the past and says everyone’s life improve will as a result.
Malibu has a population of about 13,000, it’s quite small, but it receives about 15 million tourists a year and is famous the world over.
Malibu Mayor Rick Mullen says the city is lauded and ridiculed in equal parts for their radical environmental positions, but, he points out, it does have one of the larger coastlines of any California town -- 21 miles of coastline.
“If we can do our little part here and clean up our backyard that's great, but if we can also get the word out... after [people] get over their initial reaction of, ‘hey those knuckleheads in Malibu are doing something stupid again,’ and they think, ‘you know, maybe we should not use plastic straws either.’ So that's I think the big picture,” he said.
The ban will take effect Friday, June 1, with a public event at 4pm at which you can also see a public-art installation called STRAWS and made of over 15,000 straws recovered from SoCal beach clean-ups.
