Despite threats from White House, social media companies crack down on misinformation
Despite president Trump's continued claims that Silicon Valley, and social media companies in particular, harbor an anti-conservative bias, social media companies have stepped up their efforts to prevent a repeat performance of the 2016 election during which misinformation and state-sponsored propaganda ran rampant, often in favor of Trump's presidency, according to the Mueller report and several other sources.
On Monday night, after a day of employee virtual walkouts at the company in response to Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg's insistence on leaving up posts that contain misinformation, civil right leaders met with Zuckerberg via videocall and things did not go well.
Leadership Conference for Civil and Human Rights President Vanita Gupta, NAACP Legal Defense Fund head Sherrilyn Ifill, and Color of Change Executive Director Rashad Robinson issued a statement following the meeting stating that Zuckerberg "did not demonstrate understanding of historic or modern-day voter suppression and he refuses to acknowledge how Facebook is facilitating Trump's call for violence against protesters. Mark is setting a very dangerous precedent for other voices who would say similar harmful things on Facebook." Zuckerberg followed up with a company memo on Friday saying the social media giant was again in the process of reviewing its policies related to discussions about police brutality and voter suppression. Before Zuckerberg's announcement, the company had already begun making the public aware of foreign interference on the platform by labeling state-sponsored posts.
Following the meeting with civil rights leaders and Mr. Zuckerberg's announcement, Facebook, citing copyright concerns, removed a campaign video in which the president appeared to pay tribute to George Floyd. The company cited copyright concerns for taking down the video, after it had received complaints from the artist who'd created some of the artwork featured in the video. Twitter had also removed the video, which the White House called an illegal escalation – Twitter denied that removing the video was illegal and also cited to the president's use of copyrighted material.
Facebook also removed some 200 accounts associated with white supremacy groups last week. The company also removed fake antifa accounts, according to Reuters.
Over at Reddit, some subreddit pages went dark in protest over the company's hate speech policy, which leans heavily in favor of free speech. The protest culminated in Reddit Co-Founder Alex Ohanian's resignation from the board and calling for his seat to be filled by an African-American board member. Ohanian also indicated that he would be donating $1 million to Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp and investing future gains on his stock in the black community.
Also, on Wednesday, Snapchat announced that it would no longer promote President Trump's account due to the president's promotion of violence during protests over the weekend before last.
Finally, the Center for Democracy and Technology sued the White House in the DC Circuit last week over the president's executive order directing the independent Federal Communications Commission and Federal Trade Commission to work together, along with the Department of Commerce, to curtail enforcement of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. The president issued the order after Twitter flagged one of the president's tweets as misleading, and a tweet in which the president criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom's executive order to allow mail-in ballots.
Elon Musk calls for Amazon break-up
Elon Musk took to Twitter calling for a break-up of Amazon, which he labelled a monopoly. The tweet came in response to a tweet by a New York Times reporter who'd written that Amazon had rejected his new book about COVID-19 on the grounds that it didn't meet Amazon's guidelines. Amazon has since stated that it removed the book in error.
TikTok pledges to amplify black creators
TikTok pledged to amplify black creators last week amidst criticism that it censored and suppressed content posted by blacks. The company stated that it would form a creator diversity council and a handful of other initiatives to address these concerns. The company also participated in the music industry-led "Blackout Tuesday" during which the company shut down its Sounds page. It also announced that it would invest $3 million in organizations that work to address black inequality (although the company didn't mention which organizations it plans to invest in).
Senators criticize AT&T on zero-rating
In a letter to AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, Senators Ed Markey and Ron Wyden criticized AT&T for zero-rating its own content on HBO. Zero-rating is the industry jargon used to describe the anticompetitive practice in which carriers count the use of competing platforms against their customers' data limits but not their own content, in this case HBO, which AT&T acquired in 2018, along with HBO's parent company WarnerMedia. The Senators set a response deadline of June 25th.
Zoom announces end-to-end encryption for paying subscribers only
Videoconference platform Zoom announced that it would be introducing end-to-end encryption, but only for paying subscribers. The company says doing so will allow it to work with the FBI to identify child pornographers and sex traffickers. However, Zoom made no reference to any evidence correlating free usership to the distribution of illegal content at a rate that exceeds the that of paid subscribers.
California assembly introduces facial recognition bill
The California Assembly is now considering a bill that would allow the State of California to conduct surveillance using facial recognition technology, if it gives notice ahead of time. The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California is opposing the measure on the grounds that it undercuts limitations on the use of facial recognition technology which are already in place in some local areas including San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley.
Denver cop fired for inciting a riot over Instagram during George Floyd protests
Tommy McClay, a former police officer in Denver posed with two other cops for an Instagram photo for which he wrote "let's start a riot". That night, Denver police used tear gas and foam bullets against protesters, according to Ars Technica. The Denver Police Department fired McClay for the post. McClay was a brand new recruit—just 9 months out of the police academy—and so still subject to the initial probationary period of his tenure there. But one civil rights leader in Denver told Ars that the Denver Police Department has a high rate of re-hiring officers who were previously fired.

Book 84: Inamorata
"There was a reason we existed- I existed. To give mankind a reason to strive. In a world that wanted balance, it made sense that something must exist to counter death and disease and suffering. Inspiration. Beauty. Love needed hated. Destruction was necessary for creation. A price must be paid for great and lasting beauty. Art required sacrifice, and that was where I came in. Balance."
Dates read: August 27-30, 2016
I'm not a creative person. It's something I've long since accepted about myself. I'm an appreciator of the arts, and I enjoy singing and dance even if I'm not especially gifted at either (I've got a decent voice but no training, and a complete and total lack of grace). I took a creative writing course in college and it was like torture for me...any short story I wrote ended in the untimely death of the protagonist, and I took to turning in haikus for my weekly writing assignment until my GSI let me know he was on to me. I know a lot of book bloggers have aspirations towards a writing career of their own, but I'm perfectly happy to read other people's words.
It is art, and its inspiration, that drives Megan Chance's Inamorata. The plot revolves around four characters: Joseph and Sophie Hannigan, twin siblings fleeing New York, Odile Leon, a beautiful courtesan, and Nicolas Dane, one of Odile's former lovers who continues to follow her. It's set in Venice in the 1850s, and the Hannigan twins are just about broke, but hoping that in the city, Joseph's talent as a painter will catch the eye of a wealthy patron so they can support themselves. Odile is on the lookout for new talent herself, but not to patronize it, exactly. And Nicholas is trying to keep Odile from getting what she wants.
Her exact nature isn't spelled out until quite late in the book, but that Odile literally feeds on artistic talent is obvious from the outset. She takes two kinds of lovers: the minorly talented, like one-time poet Nicholas, who often commit suicide in despair after she drains their small gifts and leaves them, and geniuses, who she inspires to create a single transcendent work that they are never able to come close to again. That Joseph has the kind of gifts that Odile seeks is obvious to Nicholas when they meet, and whether he will be able to keep them from each other and what might happen if he fails to do so provides the narrative tension that keeps the story moving forward.
While the actual plot is pretty straightforward, there's actually a lot going on here: female power and agency in a world that wasn't comfortable with either, child sexual abuse, love of family versus romantic love and the tension between the two, the relationship of artist and muse, the difference between sex and love. Not all of it is developed especially well, but all of it comes into play. As a warning for the easily squicked out, the relationship between Joseph and Sophie is...uncomfortable. It's implied that they may have been forced into engaging in sexual acts with each other during their childhood, Joseph depicts Sophie in a sexually suggestive manner in his art, they kiss each other on the mouth in a way that other characters are taken aback by...it's not a full-on Flowers In The Attic situation, but it leans in that direction.
Besides that, my biggest complaint is that it drags. It takes forever to get to the point where Joseph and Odile meet and the stakes get raised. Odile's true identity is treated as a big reveal when it's really not, it became more-or-less clear what she was before it was confirmed by the book. She was probably the most interesting character, in her determination to make her mark and leave a legacy in a world which prized women for their beauty above all. Actually, the women are overall better served by the narrative, since Sophie's story was more compelling than Joseph's (which could have been better, but was underdeveloped) and Nicholas felt like an afterthought. But the writing is pretty good, and while it's occasionally improbable and weird and the pacing isn't perfect, the plot is serviceable if you're not thinking too hard. I wouldn't recommend it per se, but I wouldn't slap it out of someone's hands for their own good if I saw them reading it either.
Tell me, blog friends...if you could be immortalized by any artist, living or dead, who would it be?

What Are Mila Kunis And Ashton Kutcher Going To...
What Are Mila Kunis And Ashton Kutcher Going To Name Their Newborn Son?
By Holly Williams in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 02 December 2016
Follow Mila Kunis
Mila Kunis Ashton Kutcher
The couple have just announced the birth of their second baby.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have finally welcomed their second child into the world this week and, surpise surprise, it's a baby boy. Like we didn't know that already! As of yet, no other details have been announced and we are still to find out baby number two's name.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have a new baby
The couple announced via a representative back in June that they were expecting another child to join their 2-year-old daughter Wyatt Isabelle, and now he's finally here according to a statement from a spokesperson. It's a boy! Though we already knew that because Ashton accidentally let the words 'baby brother' slip during an appearace on 'The Today Show' back in October.
He sheepishly confirmed the gender when he appeared on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' soon after. 'We haven't told anyone we're having a boy', he confessed, before expressing his worries that it might be the end of the road for baby-making now that they've got both a girl and a boy.
More: Mila Kunis opens up about sexist film producer
'I was hoping for a girl, first of all because our first girl is unbelievable, but also I figured if we had a girl second [Mila] might give me one more shot to have a boy', he told Seth Meyers. 'And now I don't know. It's even money, she might cut me off. I want like twelve of them.'
Mila and Ahton - who have known each other since 1997 when they started shooting the sitcom 'That '70s Show' together - began dating in 2012 not long after the latter separated from his wife Demi Moore. By February 2014 they were engaged, and they married in Oak Glen, California in July 2015, eight months after welcoming their first child Wyatt into the world.
Baby number two was born on Wednesday (November 30th 2016). We don't know the name yet, but watch this space.

Ever wondered how the LinkedIn news feed serves you content? In this special episode of RecTech, Chris Russell takes you behind the scene of their content algorithm so you can understand how when and why content gets seen.
Since taking over the strategy and execution for ACLcareers.com I have been on a mission to make their social recruiting more visual than ever before. I launched channels on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and took over a dormant Linkedin company page with around 5,600 followers.
I began sharing 1-2 images per day on Linkedin and in the 6 weeks of doing that we've gained 350+ new followers. Comments, likes, shares and engagement has skyrocketed.
My strategy has been to show off life at the company, welcome new employees, tout the occaisional news byte and promote our priority job openings in a visual format. I want the page to drive brand awareness and of course hires.
I've been posting real images and also visual job ads that I make myself. After posting a few dozen images I began to notice which ones got more impressions, likes and comments. The results surprised me a bit.
First lets set our averages so you get a better idea of how many impressions you can expect. Our posts average around 2,800 impressions each. Thats with a follower count of almost 6,000 people.
As I started to look at which images performed better, two stood out.
The first was just a simple image with our careers tagline, logo and url.
As you can see it almost doubled the number of impressions of the average image. It also pulled in more Likes and comments than normal. And LIKES are important because they will show up in the newsfeed of the people who liked it, thus increasing the number of impressions, thus increasing our brand awareness.
Then I decided to alter the same image to try and make it more interesting. I added one of our ship icons and created a bigger image with more impact.
Wow! I almost tripled the number of impressions. Engagement went from 1.79% to 2.06%. Comments almost doubled and the number of Likes took off. As of this blog post going live, that image has received 82 Likes and is getting 2-4 new ones each day.
I wasn't expecting an image this simple to get that kind of traction. But it seems that its clean, sparse design, limited color scheme and overall focus were the reasons why. So my advice is to simplify your recruitment marketing images. Simpler is better. Focus your message for the viewer.
They say the best billboards you see on the highway should have no more than 7 words on it to have the best readability. I think the same can be said for images on social media. Keep your message succint, have great design elements and it will be seen by more people.

With more than 40 years of history, the Mahou Cinco Estrellas was created as a way of satisfying even the most demanding palates. Made with the best varieties of hops and yeast, it is known for its golden color and its characteristic mild flavor. The result: a perfectly balanced taste that lingers on the palate.
Its origins go all the way back to 1936 to the beer known as the "cerveza especial," although it was not until 1969 that its evolution culminated with the release of the Mahou Cinco Estrellas and the creation of the can format.

Tennis to take fight to drug cheats by introducing biological passports
By Mike Dickson for the Daily Mail
Published: 05:52 EST, 7 March 2013 | Updated: 18:51 EST, 7 March 2013
Pressure from the top names in men's tennis, including Andy Murray, has led to the sport strengthening its anti-doping efforts.
The game's various governing bodies announced yesterday that they are to join cycling and athletics in regularly taking blood samples to detect any suspicious changes in long-term patterns.
Advocate: Andy Murray has previously been critical of the lack of testing
As Sportsmail revealed last week, the grand slam events had offered to double their contribution to the programme and there have also been funding increases from the men's and women's tours and International Tennis Federation.
Last year 187 blood tests were carried out across the whole of tennis, a slight increase on 2011, but that figure is now expected to rise significantly.
Heather Watson and Laura Robson were both due in action last night at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells in California, where the top players have gathered for the first Masters-level event of the season.
Andy Murray will make his first appearance since losing the final of the Australian Open, against either Russia's Evegeny Donskoy or Tatsuma Ito of Japan.
Caught: Doping test kits from the Japan Anti-Doping Agency
Murray: It's time tennis got tough on drugs
World No 3 Andy Murray said last year that more testing should be done.
'The out-of-competition stuff could probably get better,' he said. 'When we're in December, when people are training and setting their bases, it would be good to do more around that time.'
'I've probably had four or five blood tests this year, but a lot more urine, so it's obviously completely necessary when you hear things like about Armstrong. It's a shame for their sport but how they managed to get away with it was incredible, for so long.
'The one thing I would say with a sport like cycling is it's purely physical, there's very little skill involved in the Tour de France. It is the power, how many watts you're producing, whereas with tennis you can't learn the skill by taking a drug.
'I think tennis at the top level has been pretty clean compared to most sports. But that isn't to say more can't be done to make 100 per cent sure there are no issues.'
Murray: It's time tennis got tough on drugs... we must be tested more out of competition Football and tennis set for drug-trial let-off despite Spanish doctor's claims

Part 2. Full Text of Announcement
Diabetes management requires a complex regimen of blood glucose monitoring, medication dosing, and adjustments in diet and physical activity in order to achieve tight glucose control while avoiding hypoglycemia. Most of the observational and intervention research on diabetes self-management in type 1 diabetes has been conducted in youth and young adults. The data that exist about diabetes self-management in adults is often in mixed samples of individuals with type 2 and type 1 diabetes without adequate power to detect unique factors related to managing type 1 diabetes. Without a better understanding of the barriers and facilitators for good self-management in adults, it is difficult to develop treatment approaches that are tailored to specific risk factors or high risk groups.
For the purposes of this FOA, research should focus on one or more adult age ranges; young working age adults (25-44), older working age adults (45-64), and/or older adults (65 and older). Researchers can include any age range of adults but the research questions should be appropriate to the hypothesized factors affecting diabetes management in those age groups. For example, in working age adults, understanding specific life issues, such as building and caring for a family and establishing and maintaining a career and their effects on diabetes self-management would be appropriate. In older adults the focus might be on issues of managing diabetes in the context of age and diabetes-related changes in functioning (e.g., onset of cardiovascular disease, fractures and musculoskeletal disorders, vision loss, end-stage renal disease, painful neuropathy, cognitive impairment, and hearing loss) or changes in living situation such as assisted living or nursing home facilities.
This FOA will support observational and mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) research designed to elucidate the factors (e.g., medical, social, economic, environmental, behavioral, or psychological) that influence diabetes self-management and diabetes outcomes (e.g., HbA1c, hypoglycemia, DKA), in a positive or harmful way, in adults. Longitudinal research is strongly encouraged and cross sectional research is discouraged.
The targets of the research might include understanding:
Helpful and not helpful types of diabetes support from the social and familial networks, including spouses or partners, children, friends and coworkers;
Health care team and health care system factors that influence self-management, such as provider-patient communication, models of care delivery, access, and reimbursement schemes;
Risks related to life stage or context, such as pregnancy, workplace constraints or support, co-morbid health conditions/complications, and socioeconomic status;
Use of new or existing technologies, including insulin pumps, blood glucose monitors, continuous glucose monitoring systems, and web or mobile health resources; and
Individual factors and their influence on adherence and self-management, such as health literacy or numeracy, health beliefs such as over or under-prediction of risk, and psychological co-morbidities such as depression and anxiety.
The goal of the research conducted should be to identify factors associated with poor diabetes outcomes including challenges to diabetes self-management and reduced quality of life. The research supported by this FOA is intended to identify possible targets for future intervention research.
Given the likely challenges in recruiting large samples of adults with type 1 diabetes, applicants are encouraged to capitalize on existing resources such as patient registries, electronic health records, patient networks, and advocacy organizations to facilitate recruitment.
If it is possible for NIDDK to fund more than one application in response to this FOA, exchange of ideas and collaboration between funded investigators will be encouraged though yearly investigator meetings.
Research in response to this initiative should be for human studies only.
See Section VIII. Other Information for award authorities and regulations.

Applicant Organizations
Applicant organizations must complete and maintain the following registrations as described in the SF 424 (R&R) Application Guide to be eligible to apply for or receive an award. All registrations must be completed prior to the application being submitted. Registration can take 6 weeks or more, so applicants should begin the registration process as soon as possible. The NIH Policy on Late Submission of Grant Applications states that failure to complete registrations in advance of a due date is not a valid reason for a late submission.
Dun and Bradstreet Universal Numbering System (DUNS) - All registrations require that applicants be issued a DUNS number. After obtaining a DUNS number, applicants can begin both SAM and eRA Commons registrations. The same DUNS number must be used for all registrations, as well as on the grant application.
System for Award Management (SAM) (formerly CCR) – Applicants must complete and maintain an active registration, which requires renewal at least annually. The renewal process may require as much time as the initial registration. SAM registration includes the assignment of a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code for domestic organizations which have not already been assigned a CAGE Code.
NATO Commercial and Government Entity (NCAGE) Code – Foreign organizations must obtain an NCAGE code (in lieu of a CAGE code) in order to register in SAM.
eRA Commons - Applicants must have an active DUNS number and SAM registration in order to complete the eRA Commons registration. Organizations can register with the eRA Commons as they are working through their SAM or Grants.gov registration. eRA Commons requires organizations to identify at least one Signing Official (SO) and at least one Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) account in order to submit an application.
Grants.gov – Applicants must have an active DUNS number and SAM registration in order to complete the Grants.gov registration.
Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PD(s)/PI(s))
All PD(s)/PI(s) must have an eRA Commons account. PD(s)/PI(s) should work with their organizational officials to either create a new account or to affiliate their existing account with the applicant organization in eRA Commons. If the PD/PI is also the organizational Signing Official, they must have two distinct eRA Commons accounts, one for each role. Obtaining an eRA Commons account can take up to 2 weeks.
Eligible Individuals (Program Director/Principal Investigator)
Any individual(s) with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research as the Program Director(s)/Principal Investigator(s) (PD(s)/PI(s)) is invited to work with his/her organization to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support.

Post Submission Materials
Applicants are required to follow the instructions for post-submission materials, as described in NOT-OD-13-030.
Only the review criteria described below will be considered in the review process. As part of the NIH mission, all applications submitted to the NIH in support of biomedical and behavioral research are evaluated for scientific and technical merit through the NIH peer review system.
Overall Impact
Reviewers will provide an overall impact score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved, in consideration of the following review criteria and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed).
Scored Review Criteria
Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.
Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? Is there a strong scientific premise for the project? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field? Does the project address important aspects of diabetes-management in adults with type 1 diabetes? Are the results likely to meaningfully inform future intervention research?
Investigator(s)
Are the PD(s)/PI(s), collaborators, and other researchers well suited to the project? If Early Stage Investigators or New Investigators, or in the early stages of independent careers, do they have appropriate experience and training? If established, have they demonstrated an ongoing record of accomplishments that have advanced their field(s)? If the project is collaborative or multi-PD/PI, do the investigators have complementary and integrated expertise; are their leadership approach, governance and organizational structure appropriate for the project?
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed?
Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the specific aims of the project? Have the investigators presented strategies to ensure a robust and unbiased approach, as appropriate for the work proposed? Are potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success presented? If the project is in the early stages of development, will the strategy establish feasibility and will particularly risky aspects be managed? Have the investigators presented adequate plans to address relevant biological variables, such as sex, for studies in vertebrate animals or human subjects?
If the project involves human subjects and/or NIH-defined clinical research, are the plans to address 1) the protection of human subjects from research risks, and 2) inclusion (or exclusion) of individuals on the basis of sex/gender, race, and ethnicity, as well as the inclusion or exclusion of children, justified in terms of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed?
Will the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Are the institutional support, equipment and other physical resources available to the investigators adequate for the project proposed? Will the project benefit from unique features of the scientific environment, subject populations, or collaborative arrangements?
Additional Review Criteria

1. Award Notices
If the application is under consideration for funding, NIH will request "just-in-time" information from the applicant as described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.
A formal notification in the form of a Notice of Award (NoA) will be provided to the applicant organization for successful applications. The NoA signed by the grants management officer is the authorizing document and will be sent via email to the grantee's business official.
Awardees must comply with any funding restrictions described in Section IV.5. Funding Restrictions. Selection of an application for award is not an authorization to begin performance. Any costs incurred before receipt of the NoA are at the recipient's risk. These costs may be reimbursed only to the extent considered allowable pre-award costs.
Any application awarded in response to this FOA will be subject to terms and conditions found on the Award Conditions and Information for NIH Grants website. This includes any recent legislation and policy applicable to awards that is highlighted on this website.
2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements
All NIH grant and cooperative agreement awards include the NIH Grants Policy Statement as part of the NoA. For these terms of award, see the NIH Grants Policy Statement Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart A: General and Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart B: Terms and Conditions for Specific Types of Grants, Grantees, and Activities. More information is provided at Award Conditions and Information for NIH Grants.
Recipients of federal financial assistance (FFA) from HHS must administer their programs in compliance with federal civil rights law. This means that recipients of HHS funds must ensure equal access to their programs without regard to a person's race, color, national origin, disability, age and, in some circumstances, sex and religion. This includes ensuring your programs are accessible to persons with limited English proficiency. HHS recognizes that research projects are often limited in scope for many reasons that are nondiscriminatory, such as the principal investigator's scientific interest, funding limitations, recruitment requirements, and other considerations. Thus, criteria in research protocols that target or exclude certain populations are warranted where nondiscriminatory justifications establish that such criteria are appropriate with respect to the health or safety of the subjects, the scientific study design, or the purpose of the research.
For additional guidance regarding how the provisions apply to NIH grant programs, please contact the Scientific/Research Contact that is identified in Section VII under Agency Contacts of this FOA. HHS provides general guidance to recipients of FFA on meeting their legal obligation to take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs by persons with limited English proficiency. Please see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/resources/laws/revisedlep.html. The HHS Office for Civil Rights also provides guidance on complying with civil rights laws enforced by HHS. Please see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/section1557/index.html; and http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/index.html. Recipients of FFA also have specific legal obligations for serving qualified individuals with disabilities. Please see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/disability/index.html. Please contact the HHS Office for Civil Rights for more information about obligations and prohibitions under federal civil rights laws at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/office/about/rgn-hqaddresses.html or call 1-800-368-1019 or TDD 1-800-537-7697. Also note it is an HHS Departmental goal to ensure access to quality, culturally competent care, including long-term services and supports, for vulnerable populations. For further guidance on providing culturally and linguistically appropriate services, recipients should review the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health and Health Care at http://minorityhealth.hhs.gov/omh/browse.aspx?lvl=2&lvlid=53.

What happens to all the unsold vehicles from dealerships?
A final resort for the dealer with vehicles that don't sell at the dealership is to sell them at an auto auction. Most areas have auto auctions that are frequented by new- and used-car dealers.
What happens to unsold cars from the manufacturer?
They can't just send the unsold ones back to the manufacturer at the end of the year. In order to make money, they have to get customers to buy them. There are a few options for the dealership when their cars don't sell. They can ship the unsold cars to a different market where the specific model might be in demand.
Are unsold cars destroyed?
The market is about selling newer models, not older cars. Some companies ship them to other countries. Others are eventually dismantled and destroyed—the cost of doing business for both the manufacturer and the dealer.
How can I get a free car from a dealer?
Other Ways to Get a Free Car
Contact your local church.
Request a donation from a local dealer.
Find a job that provides a car.
Ask friends and family for assistance.
Check Craigslist.
Check Goodwill.
Start a GoFundMe.
Do car companies destroy unsold cars?
Where do unsold cars go in Canada?
Traditionally, a Canadian car dealership can move their unsold vehicles by: Shipping Them to a Different Market – If a make, brand, or model isn't selling well in a particular region of the country, the dealership may send their remaining inventory to one of their other branches.
How much do cars really cost to make?
For every car, the auto manufacturer makes an estimated $17,000. This makes the cost of manufacturing about $ 33,000 to $ 133,000. Ford – for every average priced car that Ford sells for about $ 22,000, they make $ 2,200 as gross margin.
What happens unused cars?
"On the used-car side, cars usually go unsold just because they're in the wrong place. It's a matter of getting that to the right place," he said. Moody noted that sometimes, if a used car is distressed enough, it might go to a salvage yard and get recycled. "There's a lot of money to be made in cars.
What happens to unsold cars in the US?
There are a few primary marketplaces for cars, the largest being Manheim, owned by Cox Automotive. If a car is "unsold" odds are high it ends up at a regional Manheim auction, and odds are even higher that some dealership somewhere buys it.
Where do department stores sell unsold new cars?
Department stores sell their unsold inventory to outlets and stores such as Marshalls and Ross, but where do unsold new cars go?
Where are all the unsold cars in Baltimore?
Do a quick search on Google Maps of Baltimore, Maryland, looking south of Broening Hwy in Dundalk, there you will see a massive expanse of space where many unsold cars are currently parked. This isn't the only huge car lot of unsold vehicles that exists, there are numerous lots just like this all over the world.
What can I do with an unsold new car?
Selling a relatively rare car to a consumer is the first "path" an unsold new car can go down. If you're looking to buy a car, consider letting me help. There are of course many other paths unsold new cars can travel down as well.

Ausztria oktatási rendszerét a következők jellemzik:
Ausztriában 1975 óta minden iskola koedukált, az állami iskolák ingyenesek. Iskolaköteles minden 6 és 15 év közötti gyermek.

Az oktatás története Ausztriában

Iskola előtti nevelés

A 3-6 év közötti gyermekek nagy többsége óvodába jár. Az óvodai ellátás térítés ellenében történik. Bizonyított anyagi nehézségek esetében a térítési díjat elengedhetik, illetve csökkenthetik. Az óvodai helyekre 1-2 évvel a gyermek elhelyezése előtt kell jelentkezni.

Általános iskola és középiskolai alsó tagozat
Ausztriában a kötelező oktatás általános és szakképzési részre osztható. A kötelező oktatás azon év szeptember 1-jén kezdődik, amelyben a gyermek betöltötte hatodik életévét. A kötelező oktatás három részből áll:

 Általános képzés (1-4 osztályig, általános iskola alsó tagozat)
 Alsó szintű középfokú oktatás (5-8 osztályig, általános iskola felső tagozat, illetve középiskolai alsó tagozat)
 Kilencedik osztály (technikumban, illetve a középiskola felső tagozatának első osztálya)
 Középiskolák

A Hauptschule

Általános oktatás három, választható fakultációból áll: német, matematika, idegen nyelv (általában angol).

Az általános középiskola

Az általános középiskola (németül: Allgemeinbildende höhere Schule; rövidítve: AhS) egy négyéves alsó- és egy négyéves felső tagozatra oszlik, amely végén érettségi vizsgát (Matura) tesznek. A belépés feltétele az általános iskola negyedik évének sikeres befejezése kiváló eredménnyel. Amennyiben a gyermek általános iskolai eredményei nem kiválóak, felvételi vizsgát kell tennie.

Az AhS alsó tagozatának három fajtája létezik: a gimnázium, amelyben az idegen nyelvek kapják a főszerepet, a reálgimnázium, ahol a természettudományokra és a matematikára fektetik a hangsúlyt és a közgazdasági reálgimnázium, ahol a közgazdaságtan és a társadalomtudományok állnak a középpontban. A középiskolák első két évében a tanterv egyforma, a fakultációk és orientációk a felső tagozatban választhatók ki.

Felsőfokú oktatás

Ausztriában négyféle felsőfokú intézményt különböztetnek meg: egyetemet, vallási főiskolát, művészeti főiskolát és szakfőiskolát. Az országban összesen 12 egyetem és 6 művészeti főiskola működik. A legnagyobb állami egyetem a Bécsi Egyetem, amely a német nyelvű országok legrégebben alapított felsőoktatási intézménye (1365). A Grazi Egyetem 1585-ben, az Innsbrucki Egyetem 1669-ben nyitotta meg kapuit.

2006-ban a felnőtt osztrák lakosság mintegy 14%-ának volt felsőfokú végzettsége. Az egyetemisták/főiskolások száma egyre nő: a 2005/2006-os tanévben cirka 34 ezren jelentkeztek a felsőoktatásba. A hallgatók 54%-a nő.

Felnőttoktatás

Az általános és szakmai továbbképzést a törvény nem szabályozza, de általában a társadalmi partnerek érdekképviseleti szervei és ezek intézetei kínálják fel, s ezt a magánjellegű oktató intézmények ajánlatai egészítik ki.

A felnőttoktatásban továbbá arra is lehetőség van, hogy a képzést "colleg"-ekben, és dolgozók iskoláiban, mester– vagy üzemi mesteriskolákban, szakakadémiákon valamint egyetemeken egészítsék ki vagy pótolják be. Az "ember egész életében tanul" felfogás szellemében a felnőttoktatás keretein belül az önképzés központi és a tovább- illetve szakképzési ajánlatait egyre inkább innovatív technológiákkal, például az elektronikus tanulással közvetítik.

Virat Kohli-led India squad for Champions Trophy 2017: Everything you need to know
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the India squad for the ICC Champions Trophy a day after it decided that India will participate in the tournament. (Photos: Meet India's 15-man Champions Trophy squad)
The BCCI announced a 15-man Indian squad who will fight to defend the title. There were no surprises in the almost unchanged ODI squad against England which saw Rohit Sharma's comeback after his injury.
Virat Kohli (Captain): Even though the Indian captain hasn't been in form in the current Indian Premier League, run-machine Kohli was in a sensational form throughout the home season of 2016-17.
Shikhar Dhawan: Dhawan, who was expected to retain his place, was adjudged the Player of the Tournament in the Champions Trophy 2013.
Rohit Sharma: Returning from a thigh injury, in-form Rohit Sharma was expected to make a comeback to replace KL Rahul who is out with shoulder injury.
Ajinkya Rahane: Rahane has been selected as the other opening option for the tournament. He has been a regular opener for India in the last 12 months.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni: India lifted the Champions Trophy last time under Dhoni. Even though he renounced as captain of the limited overs format at the beginning of this year, he remains India's leading wicketkeeper.
Yuvraj Singh: Yuvraj Singh justified his place in the squad with his performance against England where he scored a 150 in one of the ODIs.
Kedar Jadhav: Jadhav will support the team down the order as this would be his second tour abroad. He had a breakout series against England as finisher
Hardik Pandya: Mumbai Indians player Pandya bagged the seam-bowling allrounder's spot. And a nifty choice at that
R Ashwin: There were doubts on his fitness as he was recovering from a sports hernia but his form in International cricket guaranteed him a spot in the squad. Chief selector MSK Prasad confirmed Ashwin is fit to play
Ravindra Jadeja: Jadeja can be a superb addition to the squad with his variable spin and quicker ones to deceive the batsmen
Mohammad Shami: Shami, selected as fifth pace-bowling option, has not played an ODI since 2015 World Cup. The selectors trusted him to make his comeback to international cricket last year in July as well
Umesh Yadav: Yadav's selection comes a day after he had a nasty fall in the IPL match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. But he has had a great domestic season and was a 'must-have'
Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad, has been one of the most consistent performers in the IPL.
Jasprit Bumrah: Bumrah is having a decent season in the tenth edition of IPL. Last week, he bowled the first super over of his life for the Mumbai Indians as they defended 11 runs against Gujarat Lions. This adds his ability to bowl at the death
Manish Pandey: Pandey, who plays for Kolkata Knight Riders, has been selected as an extra batsman. He last played against New Zealand in October 2016. And has had a good run this IPL so far
