A new poll released by the Atlanta Journal Constitution on Saturday showed that the Republican Party is in trouble in Georgia. Democrats-including President Biden, Stacey Abrams, and newly elected Senators Jon Ossoff (d-Georgia) and Rafael Warnock (d-Georgia)-have strong The favorability rating is, and Governor Brian Camp (R-Georgia) and former President Donald Trump are struggling. But a more convincing result may belong to Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (Brad Raffensperger), who became Trump when he dismissed conspiracy theories about voter fraud that prevailed in the state’s presidential elections. The goal. Refusal to back down allowed him to receive relatively good treatment in Georgia, although it turns out that his number is largely supported by Democrats, of which 60% of Democrats agree with his work. At the same time, Republicans only support Raffensperger with a support rate of 38%, while nearly 45% oppose it. In terms of background, despite the small number of presidents, Republicans have nearly 85% of support. The problem lies here. Opinion polls show that Republicans like Raffensperger may face challenges in statewide elections in Georgia, but it seems difficult to achieve this goal by winning the Republican primary. And a candidate who looks more like Trump will have a good performance in winning the primary election, but may face an uphill battle under normal circumstances, which seems to temporarily place the party in no man's land.

The new research aims to provide telephone companies with tools to help curb robocalls. Peter Dazeley/The picture library research profile via Getty Images is a short excerpt of interesting academic works. It is a good idea that over 80% of robocalls come from fake numbers-answering or not answering these calls has no effect on the number of calls you will get. These are the two main findings of our 11-month unsolicited phone study from February 2019 to January 2020. To better understand how these unwelcome callers work, we monitored every call received from more than 66,000 phone lines at the Robocall Observatory at North Carolina State University in the Telephone Security Laboratory. During the research process, we received 1.48 million unsolicited calls. We answered some of these calls, while others made us ring. Contrary to popular belief, we found that answering calls has no effect on the number of automatic calls received by the phone number. Throughout the research process, the weekly automatic call volume remained unchanged. As part of the research, we also developed the first method to identify the robot call activity that led to a large number of such annoying, illegal and fraudulent robot calls. The main types of robot call activities are related to student loans, health insurance, Google business listings, general financial fraud and long-running social security scams. Through the use of these technologies, we have learned that, on average, more than 80% of calls in each robot call activity use fake or short-lived phone numbers to make calls they don't need. Criminals use these phone numbers to deceive their victims, making it more difficult to identify and prosecute illegal robot callers. We have also seen that some fraudulent automated telephone wiretapping activities caused government agencies to impersonate for many months without being discovered. They used messages in English and Mandarin and threatened victims with serious consequences. This information targets the disadvantaged, including immigrants and the elderly. Why important providers can use a time-consuming manual process (called backtracking) to determine the true source of the call. Today, too many robocalls cannot be used as a practical solution that goes back to every call. Our automated telephone campaign recognition technology is not only a powerful research tool. Service providers can also use it to identify large-scale robocalling operations. Using our method, the provider only needs to investigate a small number of calls for each robocalling event. By targeting sources of abuse of robocall, service providers can block or shut down these operations and protect their subscribers from fraud and illegal telemarketing. Vendors are deploying a new technology called STIR/SHAKEN, which may prevent robocallers from spoofing their phone numbers. Once deployed, it will simplify the backtracking of calls, but not for providers using older technologies. Call bots can also quickly adapt to new situations, so they can find a solution to STIR/SHAKEN. No one knows how automated callers interact with victims and how often they change their strategies. For example, more and more automated phones and crooks are using COVID-19 as a prerequisite to deceive people. What's the next step In the next few years, we will continue to study robocall. We will investigate whether STIR/SHAKEN reduces robot calls. We are also developing technology to better identify, understand, and assist providers and law enforcement targets in automated phone operations.

A spokesperson for Myanmar’s ruling National League for Democracy said on Monday that the country’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other high-ranking members of the ruling party had been detained in the early morning raid. After the election, the powerful army said that the coup was fraudulent, which aroused people's fear of the coup. A spokesperson for the ruling party told Reuters by phone that Suu Kyi and other leaders were “taken away” in the early morning. He said: “I want to tell our people not to respond lightly. I hope they will act according to the law. He added that he is also expected to be detained. Stay tuned for more news from Reuters, because this is a developing story.

Despite the surge in the number of COVID-19 infections throughout Houston, there are still more than 40,000 students choosing to attend classes in person this spring, and will gradually approach some areas at the beginning of the second semester of 2020-21, bringing it closer to pre-pandemic enrollment. school year.

The current guidelines of the Texas Department of Education require school districts that provide remote guidance so that parents can choose whether to send students to campus each semester or let them study at home.

In response to the Houston Chronicle’s request for third-year attendance data, all of the 16 areas in the Houston area except Fort Bend and Arif ISD reported that more than half of the students returned to campus. There are more than two-thirds of students in the nine-student classroom, including Dickinson ISD (93% of students) and Friendswood ISD (90% of students).

Ten districts shared the placement data of the first three grades. All the data show that whenever there is a choice, more parents choose to send their students back to the site for guidance.

As of December, at ISD in Houston, 43% of students are studying in person, while 56% are almost studying.

At the same time, COVID-19 infections in Greater Houston will soon exceed the peak seen here last summer. The intensive care unit of the Texas Medical Center is still beyond its first-stage capacity, and 41% of all ICU patients received treatment for the virus. More than 3,022 COVID-19 cases were reported in Harris County on Thursday.

In schools, the number of active cases in January is higher than at any time in 2020. As of Friday, Houston ISD had 577 active COVID-19 cases, Dickinson ISD had 89 cases, and Friendswood ISD had 39 cases. Of the 16 regions that responded to the data requested by the Chronicle, 3,381 cases of activity were recorded on the COVID-19 dashboard in the region on Friday.

Dr. Carlin Barnes, a teenage psychiatrist in Houston, who wrote about sending students back to Psychology Today, said that although this surge may cause some families to keep their children away Schools, but the distribution of vaccines may have given others to the coming pandemic to make us feel more comfortable. She said that at the same time, parents must consider their children's academic needs, because the data shows that virtual learners struggle more academically than their peers who return to campus.

"Many parents are worried about the health of themselves and their children, but at the same time the virtual learning model cannot meet their children's educational needs," Barnes said.

Scott Oliver decided to send his 11-year-old son William back to Glenn York Elementary in Alvin ISD because the young Oliver had difficulty completing work at home s hard work. He decided to send his third grader Lauren back to school. His eldest, 15-year-old Hailey, didn't start attending classes in Shadow Creek High in person until this month.

Since returning, all his children have done better, but due to the infection, his son's class had to be quarantined twice.

Oliver said: "Neither virtual learning nor face-to-face learning, there is no right or wrong answer." "But for my children, going back is a good thing for them, even if we still have to deal with cases and similar thing."

In areas that provide higher services to low-income families and students of color, the transition to face-to-face teaching is not obvious. Locally, Aldine, Alief, Sheldon, and Spring ISD tend to have more families choosing to keep students at home in the third grade compared to the wealthier and whiter communities.

Barnes said that this is not surprising given that low-income families often live in multi-generational families. Data from the CDC shows that blacks and Hispanics are 2.8 times more likely to die from the virus than whites. In addition, Barnes said, black and Hispanic families tend to have less access to health care and more trust in the COVID-19 vaccine.

Other schools, including those in the Dickinson ISD, are almost as full as the schools before the pandemic prompted all schools in Texas to close in March last year.

Principal Sophia Acevedo said that about 94% of the students returned to Calder Road Elementary and started learning in early September last year. About half of the children are studying at home. She attributed the increase in the number of students on campus to the tiredness of parents, children's demands to come back and the feeling of safety at home, which brought young students back to school.

All students must wear masks, wash their hands regularly, use hand sanitizer between subjects, limit interaction between classes, and stand farther in the line. Acevedo said that even with these precautions, it is difficult to maintain social distancing from so many students. The administrator created extra lunch time and covered up the tables in the cafeteria, the music room was moved to the science laboratory, so that there was more space and ventilation, and students no longer chatted on the carpet.

Acevedo said: "We are focused on what we can do, but we cannot maintain real social distancing with so many people." "In class, we cannot guarantee six feet long, but we can make sure they wear masks and handwashing."

Maria Rivera, who co-led the Harris County Health Department’s school advisory team during the pandemic, said the advisory team’s recommendation remains that school buildings remain closed until, among other things, the positive rate of COVID-19 testing at least drops. To less than five percent

Since the Texas Department of Education has informed the districts that they must provide five days a week in-person guidance to obtain state funding, Rivera said her team has informed the districts that the focus is to prevent children from integrating with other classes and keep the environment clean. , Keep as many activities as possible. Keep as far away as possible and track as many contacts as possible. However, these measures may not prevent more infections.

Rivera said: "As more and more children enter the classroom, we have seen more classroom cases." "All these safety measures to reduce transmission-when there are 30 children in the classroom, this is impossible of."

Yadira Sesher’s Calder Road Elementary Primary School third grade bilingual classroom currently has 14 students, and only one student is studying online. Twelve people came back as soon as possible to attend the face-to-face class, including 9-year-old Iseo Lopez.

He said that he missed his friends. Although he was frustrated, he had to stay away from his classmates, but he was very happy to see that each grading period came back. He thinks they are struggling like him.

He said: "I don't like it at home." "My mother told me that I was studying, but I learned a lot here."

KYIV-Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told "axios on HBO" that he does not see China as a major geopolitical threat, even if he vowed to limit China's control over critical tasks. A position may also cause him to conflict with the Biden administration and Congress. Why it matters: Zelensky's remarks represent a break between the US national security leaders of the two main parties that are trying to rally allies to counter the threat of the Chinese Communist Party. Be smart: Sign up for free to get China’s most influential newsletter. US: Drive News: When asked about the emerging consensus in Washington that China is the world’s largest geopolitical threat, Zelensky said: “I I don’t agree with this, because in Ukraine, we don’t feel that way.” He said: “There is indeed such a cold war between China and the United States.” * “We know that the US business is represented in Ukraine, but at the same time, the Chinese business There are indeed representatives." * "I believe that regardless of nationality, nationality, people, business, a certain country, you will be respected, respect your people and borders, and they will appear in your country." Between the two sentences: Only the United States must play such a big role to push Zelensky away from China. Beijing suppressed Washington in vaccine diplomacy, which is a painful reality discussed by Zilensky in the "Axios on HBO" interview. Zelensky tried to obtain a higher quality American vaccine for his country. He promoted the help of Europeans. But considering his difficulty in obtaining a dose, he said he is willing to cooperate with Beijing to obtain a large amount of safe COVID vaccine for the Ukrainian people. *It is worth noting that the United States has not provided Ukraine with its high-quality vaccines, and has actually taken steps to make it difficult for Zelensky to obtain them. Behind the scenes: How to deal with the China issue is a growing pain point in U.S.-Ukraine relations. Trump administration officials privately expressed concern that China-which became Ukraine's largest trading partner in 2019-injected ample cash into China, instead embedding itself in key Ukrainian sectors including defense and telecommunications. *US officials worry that China will steal intelligence secrets and exert evil influence on allies that increasingly rely on Beijing. Yes, but: Senior U.S. government officials have been trying to persuade Ukraine to prevent China from buying the aero-engine Sich manufacturer for years, which is the number one jewel of the Ukrainian defense department. * Zelensky made it clear for the first time in an interview that he will not allow China or any other country to buy a controlling stake in Sich. * "Never," he said. "Not under me. I don't live here... [but] during my [time in office], absolutely not. The most important thing is that Russia’s focus on Ukraine is much closer. But when Russia annexed Croatia in 2014 China never condemned Russia’s actions when he was in Crimea, so although Zilensky may not list China as a threat, he knew that China could not be relied on in the Russia-Ukraine crisis and supported safe, smart, and sensible journalism. , Please sign up for Axios newsletter here.
