中山大便上有一条凹槽 便血(中山便血是 什么 原因) (今日更新中)

Reported cases of fraud and identity theft have skyrocketed since the pandemic began in the United States. One expert said COVID-19 has created an unparalleled opportunity for scammers.For Holly and Tony Chilicas, the nightmare began decades ago – in a time before widespread cyber scams and coronavirus. In fact, it happened in a very analog way -- Tony’s wallet was stolen.“I was a dumb kid and I didn't think nothing of it. I'm like, ‘I'll just cancel my credit cards and I'll get it a new license, I'll...’ And I had my social security card in there, and I didn't know,” said Tony.After that theft, his identity was stolen – over and over again.“Basically, his social security number has been used in upwards of 10 different states by 20 plus people,” said Holly.She said one was even caught red-handed. She shared a police report from 2006 when a man named Jorge Campos Ramirez was caught with Tony Chilicas’ name and social security number and admitted to a police officer he bought Tony’s information at a grocery store and had been using it for months to get work.“They talked to the guy and he bought Tony’s social security card and driver's license for ,” said Holly.Holly and Tony said that’s just one case of many, and it’s led to Tony being charged hundreds of thousands in back taxes he didn’t owe and a lowered credit score. He even had to put off legally marrying Holly until he got some of it straightened out with the IRS -- a process that took 10 years -- and he said it’s still not completely fixed.“So, if it happens to me and I'm just an average Joe, it could happen to anybody,” said Tony.It is happening more and more. According to the Federal Trade Commission – the agency that handles identity theft and fraud concerns at the website IdentityTheft.gov – so far this year, there were more than 1.8 million reported cases of fraud and identity theft. Nearly 190,000 of those are directly connected to the coronavirus pandemic, and those COVID-related fraud cases really skyrocket right as many states were putting lockdowns in place.“COVID-19 has created – I don’t even have a word for it – COVID-19 has created this opportunity for scammers that is unparalleled,” said Eva Velasquez, president and CEO of the nonprofit Identity Theft Resource Center.Velasquez said all the scams that have been around for a long time that are often regional – like those that happen after a disaster, a health scam, fraud, phishing – they’re all happening right now because the pandemic is universal. She said everyone’s emotions are heightened right now and scammers prey on that.”Well, there is just a panoply of scams that are popping up because of COVID, and so there is going to be a very long tail on this fraud because there are just so many different types, and they're all escalating,” said Velasquez.She said one scam they’re hearing a lot about now is unemployment identity theft.“There are a lot of factors here that are creating this increase [in unemployment identity theft], the first one is it's actually more lucrative now,” said Velasquez.She said that was due to the 0 weekly pandemic bump, she also said that most people who were scammed didn’t know it until it was too late.“The one that we are hearing the most in our call center is the one that's the most devastating, these people that are calling us their scared, they're angry, they're in tears,” said Velasquez. “They legitimately need these benefits in order to meet their basic needs, and they can't get them because a criminal has basically circumvented those benefits and taken them away from them.”Others scams unique to this time we are all living in are scams surrounding contact tracing.“We really do need to participate in [contact tracing]. It is very important for us to get a handle on this when there are contact tracers that are trying to do their job, that they get cooperation from people, however, the scammers know that and they are trying to leverage it,” said Velasquez.She said the good news is there’s some pretty universal advice when it comes to scams and any contact you didn’t solicit: go to the source.She said if you get an email you didn’t ask for – even if it looks official – don’t click on any links. She said, especially now, it’s important not to panic, to step back and try to verify the information in a different way by going to the source. She said the same goes for phone calls you didn’t ask for --whether it’s a contact tracer or someone who says they’re from your bank -- ask the caller questions about themselves, where they’re calling from and why. She said then hang up and find a phone number yourself you know is correct and call back. No one who’s trying to contact you for a legitimate reason will ever yell at you or threaten you for trying to keep your identity safe.She also said for those who might be afraid they’re being rude – especially those in the older generations – that it’s not rude to protect yourself.“It's not rude to say, I have to verify who you are, and if someone starts yelling at you or demanding things of you, it's not rude to hang at the phone,” said Velasquez.It’s a sentiment Tony agrees with 100 percent. He speaks with the experience of a man who’s spent more than a decade trying to get his identity back and trying to get a new social security number.“Be rude! Who cares, hurt someone's feelings. And they don't care about you,” said Tony.In other words, be smart, be aware and be your own advocate. 5478

President Donald Trump signaled Tuesday that he will not take strong action against Saudi Arabia or its Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the death and dismemberment of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.The White House has been struggling to square a widespread sense that the crown prince directed the killing with its desire for Saudi support for its foreign policy priorities and a need to manage close relationships between bin Salman and the Trump administration.In an exclamation-mark laden statement subtitled "America First!" Trump said that "our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that the Crown Prince had knowledge of this tragic event -- maybe he did and maybe he didn't!""That being said," Trump continued, "we may never know all of the facts surrounding the murder of Mr. Jamal Khashoggi. In any case, our relationship is with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They have been a great ally in our very important fight against Iran."Trump is expected to receive a CIA assessment on Khashoggi's murder today.A senior administration official told CNN that the report, delivered in physical form, is an assessment of all the intelligence gathered so far, but will not present a final conclusion. That's in keeping with intelligence community practice: agencies assign a confidence level to their findings because intelligence isn't conclusive.And though sources tell CNN that the CIA has assessed with high confidence that the prince directed Khashoggi's murder, which was conducted by members of the prince's inner circle, the fact that they don't make a final conclusion gives the White House an out.The report comes seven weeks after the father of four entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2 to seek marriage documents.This story is breaking and will be updated. 1852

Researchers published what they say is the first case of a living person diagnosed with the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE.While unnamed in the study, lead author Dr. Bennet Omalu confirmed to CNN that the subject of the case was former NFL player Fred McNeill -- who died in 2015.Omalu is credited with first discovering CTE in professional football players. Until now, the only way to diagnose the disease is with a brain exam after death.The diagnosis was first made using an experimental brain scan that can trace a signature protein of CTE called tau. The authors then confirmed the diagnosis with an autopsy. The case study was published in the journal Neurosurgery this week.'It looked like just depression'Omalu first presented these findings exclusively to CNN's chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, in 2016. McNeill's wife, Tia, and his two sons, Gavin and Fred Jr., told Gupta then that they saw Fred transform from a fun loving family man at the center of their lives into a man who was dealing with symptoms of memory loss, anger and depression that tore their family apart."There are some times where the father is the stronghold in the family, or the anchor. If you lose that, everything kind of falls apart. That's kind of what happened for us. It looked like financial issues at first; it looked like marital issues, and they separated; then it looked like just depression," Gavin told Gupta.CTE is known for plaguing people with Alzheimer's like symptoms such as memory loss, rage, mood swings, and in some cases, suicidal ideation.Severity of the disease is categorized into four stages, with stage 4 being the most severe. While researchers don't know exactly why certain people develop the disease and others don't, they believe that it results from repeated blows to the head that trigger a build up of tau proteins in the brain.CTE has been called football's "concussion crisis," however experts point out that CTE can develop from any repeated head injury. According to the Boston University CTE Center, "this trauma includes both concussions that cause symptoms and subconcussive hits to the head that cause no symptoms." These subconcussive hits can include the repeated trauma the brain experiences from constant plays, hitting the turf, and tackling. Wrestlers, boxers, and military troops have also been diagnosed with the disease.Seeing CTEWhile McNeill is the first case to be confirmed with an autopsy, the experimental technology has been used on at least a dozen other former NFL players, including Pro Football Hall of Famer, Dallas Cowboy Tony Dorsett. Omalu helped develop and is invested in the diagnostic exam, which uses a radioactive "tracer" called FDDNP to bind to tau proteins in the brain. The tau proteins can then be seen on a PET scan of the brain.Critics have said the protein also can highlight another protein called amyloid, which may be indicative of Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. But Omalu noted that in CTE, tau makes distinctive patterns in the brain. It has a "specific topographic signature," he said, and that pattern can be detected in imaging.Omalu said he and his team are currently raising money to start a phase 3 clinical trial to further test the technology and replicate what they have seen in McNeill. He anticipates that once funds are raised, it will take another two to three years for the trial and then another year, at least, for approval from the US Food and Drug Administration. When asked, how soon a commercial test could be available, Omalu predicted it could be as soon as a few years. "We are looking at less than five years," he said.  3711

President Trump on Monday denied that he offered Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) a million charitable donation if she would take a DNA test that proved she had Native American heritage."Who cares," Trump said when asked about Warren's DNA test. "I didn't say that, you'd better read it again."During a rally in Great Falls, Montana on July 5, Trump posed a hypothetical scenario in which he and Warren squared off in a presidential debate. Trump stated that if Warren were to bring up her claimed Native American heritage during the debate, he would immediately ask her to prove her bloodline with a DNA test."We will say, 'I will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the (DNA) test and it shows you're an Indian,'" Trump said.Warren called out Trump's false statement in a tweet on Monday."Having some memory problems, @realDonaldTrump? Should we call for a doctor?" Warren tweeted.  970
