通用汽车公司与底特律的亨利福特健康系统合作,为员工制定了直接的健康计划。通用汽车底特律地区的非工会工人可以使用该计划,与目前最便宜的产品相比,每年可以节省900美元。如果符合成本,质量和劳动力健康等目标,通用汽车将额外付款奖励亨利福特。沃尔玛,迪士尼和英特尔等其他公司也做出了类似的交易,这些交易跳出了公司通过保险公司工作的传统计划。
General Motors has teamed up with Detroit’s Henry Ford Health System on a direct health plan for employees. GM’s Detroit-area non-union workers will have access to the program, which can save them up to $900 a year compared to the current cheapest offering. GM will reward Henry Ford with extra payments if it meets goals for cost, quality and workforce health. Other companies such as Walmart, Disney and Intel have made similar deals, which deviate from traditional plans in which companies work through insurers.
父母通过给孩子们送礼物来哀悼Toys “R” Us的损失,这也可能给玩具行业带来了不错的推动。 2018年上半年,该行业的销售额增长了7% - 由价格在5美元至20美元之间的玩具推动。今年早些时候,标志性玩具零售商的消亡导致销售大增。据CNBC报道,其他零售商计划在即将到来的假日季节投入更多空间并携带更多玩具。
Parents mourning the loss of Toys “R” Us by showering their children with presents may have also gifted the toy industry a nice boost. Sales in the industry increased 7% during the first half of 2018 — driven by toys priced between $5 and $20. The sales bump follows the iconic toy retailer's demise earlier this year. Other retailers plan to dedicate more space and carry more toys in the upcoming holiday season, according to CNBC.
华盛顿恢复了对2015年国际核不扩散条约下暂停的德黑兰贸易制裁。伊朗被禁止使用美元,实际上禁止该国进行国际金融交易和石油购买。特朗普总统表示,他对“更全面的协议”持开放态度,该协议也涉及伊朗的导弹测试和政治活动。欧盟公开反对制裁,告诉与伊朗开展业务的欧洲公司有效“无视”该命令。
Washington restored trade sanctions on Tehran that had been suspended under an international nuclear non-proliferation treaty in 2015. Iran is prohibited from using U.S. dollars, effectively barring the country from international financial transactions and oil purchases. President Trump says he’s open to a “more comprehensive deal” that also addresses Iran’s missile testing and political activities. The EU spoke out against the sanctions, telling European companies that conduct business with Iran to effectively “ignore” the order
陷入困境的订阅服务MoviePass将很快将其客户一天一部的限制改为每月三部电影。 MoviePass还表示不再计划增加每月订阅的成本。尽管大多数客户不会受到影响,但最近的努力是为了稳定服务的最新努力:85%的人每月最多观看3部电影。上个月,MoviePass在用完现金和被大部分影院停止使用后不得不购买紧急贷款。
The beleaguered subscription-service MoviePass will soon limit its customers to three movies per month, down from one per day. MoviePass also said it no longer plans to increase the cost of its monthly subscriptions. The cutback is the latest effort to stabilize the service, although most customers will be unaffected: 85% watch at most three films per month. Last month, MoviePass had to take out an emergency loan after it ran out of cash and stopped working in most theaters.
