The Pattern Beneath: USAID And The Architecture Of Perception
下面的模式：美国国际开发署和约书亚·斯泰尔曼（Joshua Stylman）通过替代者（USAID）撰写的感知建筑，美国国际发展机构（USAID）长期以来一直将自己描绘成美国的人道主义援助组织，为发展中国家提供援助。它的年度预算近400亿美元，在100多个国家 /地区的运营中，它代表了世界上最大的外国援助机构之一。但是最近的披露揭示了它的真实本质是更系统的：全球意识的建筑师。考虑：路透社是世界上最值得信赖的新闻来源之一，是为“大规模的社会欺骗”和“社会工程辩护”获得了美国国际开发署的资金。尽管有关这些计划的确切范围的辩论，但含义令人震惊：美国政府机构的系统性现实建设机构支付了全球最依赖的资料来
Winners And Losers Of Black Friday 2024
2024 年黑色星期五的赢家和输家作者：RetailDive 的 Daphne Howland，尽管人们推动提前假期以缓解多年来最短的购物窗口之一的限制，但许多人还是把购物清单留到了感恩节之后。预计购物者今年在假期再次谨慎消费。几年来，通货膨胀一直占据新闻头条，掩盖了零售额增长，震惊了消费者，甚至掩盖了本月初举行的总统大选。尽管通货膨胀有所缓解，一些零售商在最近几周特意大幅降价，但许多家庭的预算仍然紧张。如果现任总统当选人唐纳德·特朗普承诺的关税得以实现，他们可能不会得到太多缓解。这可能会对假日销售产生影响。诺德斯特龙本周早些时候表示，第四季度初的销售额有所下降，这表明其在第三季度经历的势头可

GAO 的发现 GAO 发现，确定联邦研发 (R&D) 资金是否提供给了受关注的外国实体是一项挑战。此类实体包括外国恐怖组织和特别指定的国民等。授予机构一般禁止与外国恐怖组织和特别指定的国民开展业务。GAO 发现，报告其中一些实体的政府数据库缺乏通用识别信息，例如唯一标识符或个人身份信息。例如，据美国财政部称，外国恐怖组织名单上的实体的实际地址、出生日期或其他识别信息通常无法获得，因为实体经常试图隐藏其身份或位置。当出生日期等个人身份信息可用时，公共联邦资助数据源 USAspending.gov 中则无法提供类似信息。具体来说，尽管奖励机构收集其他识别信息，例如寻求奖励的实体的电话号码，但并非
Small Business Research Programs: Information Regarding Subaward Use and Data Quality
GAO 的发现 有几个因素决定了小企业创新研究 (SBIR) 和小企业技术转让 (STTR) 奖项的获得者必须根据《联邦资金责任与透明度法案》报告哪些一级子奖项。这些因素包括子奖励的价值、适用的豁免以及第一级子奖励的不同定义。 GAO 采访的小企业代表表示，小企业缺乏认识和理解也可能影响报告率。根据 GAO 对 USAspending.gov 的审查，很少有 SBIR/STTR 奖项（约 10%）显示子奖项。一级子奖励报告的限制是政府范围内的问题，并非 SBIR/STTR 奖励所独有（请参阅 GAO-24-106237）。SBIR/STTR 奖励获得者通常与其他实体（包括分包商或顾问）合作，以
