And just then the police, the sheriff's department shows up and they tell me to come back down," McDaniel said.He followed their direction, but on the car ride home, an officer called him and said Connor was dead after he fired upon sheriff's deputies and the deputies returned fire and killed him.Connor's death was determined to be a suicide. The district attorney's office concluded that the officers' actions were justified.While grappling with his son's death, David McDaniel was immediately drawn to the Black Box Project, which uses forensic software to unlock and comb through service members' devices provided by their loved ones to review their activity in the weeks leading up to their suicides.McDaniel works in the tech field and says if the project can find repeated patterns in online searches, they may be able to help others to prevent suicides.For instance, McDaniel says his son searched for SGLI, Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance, before his death. If a veteran were to make a similar search and look up "suicide" in the future, for example, McDaniel suggests it could trigger an ad for Stop Soldier Suicide to pop up and provide resources in the search results.Ford says the nonprofit uses machine learning, a subfield of artificial intelligence, to analyze texts and notes in order to determine sentiment or emotional tone, such as anger or desperation. He says they can also track phone usage of the deceased veterans to monitor their past sleep cycles and trace their past geo-locations."Machines can go through computations a lot faster than humans, and they can find signals that we often miss," Ford said.Since launching the Black Box Project in April 2020, Stop Soldier Suicide has received over 100 devices, Ford said. So far, he says they're seeing three patterns before most of these suicides: more anger, different sleep patterns, and social isolation.Ford's team includes Ph.D.s in clinical psychology and suicide researchers. A scientific advisory committee helps steer where and what to look for on the devices.The findings are still preliminary, according to the nonprofit, but one goal is to help the organization decide where, when, and how to target their own mental health resources, like adding more hotline staff at certain hours and ensuring calls are picked up overnight.When asked about privacy concerns of collecting data, Ford said it's something they think about daily."We don't resell the data. We don't push it out to others. We use it for our own research purposes so that we can best understand risk and then give those devices back to those families intact," Ford said.Current privacy laws do not carry on past death, meaning the next of kin typically gains new authority.Petra Oxford-Jackson, whose veteran husband Anthony died by suicide, says she gave his phone to the organization with the possibility it could save even one life."I truly believe he would have been okay with it, and it's a hard thing for a survivor to give up something so personal as his cell phone," Oxford-Jackson told ABC News.The Black Box Project received $3 million in funding from the Department of Veterans Affairs earlier this year.If you are struggling with thoughts of suicide or worried about a friend or loved one, call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 for free, confidential emotional support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.。 受今年第20号台风“简拉维”环流影响,泉州市出现暴雨到大暴雨,局部出现特大暴雨。8月24日晚,市委副书记、市长蔡战胜在市应急指挥中心主持召开视频会议,会商调度防汛防台风工作。他强调,要深入贯彻落实习近平总书记对防汛救灾工作作出的重要指示精神,坚持人民至上、生命至上,树牢底线思维、极限思维,坚决克服麻痹思想、侥幸心理,毫不松懈抓好各项防范措施。 蔡战胜指出,此次台风带来新一轮强降雨,叠加前期降水影响,山洪、滑坡、泥石流、城乡积涝等次生灾害风险等级高,防汛形势严峻复杂。全市各级各部门要进一步提高思想认识,落实属地责任、主体责任,把问题想得更全面、把预防落在救援前,以工作的确定性应对灾害风险的不确定性。要根据风雨影响的范围、时段、强度变化,紧盯地灾点、高陡边坡、老旧房屋、在建工地、山洪灾害易发区等重点部位,有力有序、科学精准组织人员转移避险,确保不漏一处、不落一人。要强化风险预判,针对重点乡镇、重点部位,提前预置应急救援、抢险抢修人员队伍和设备物资,确保快速应对、高效处置突发险情。要加强值班值守,加密监测频率,及时做好预警预报,引导群众非必要不外出、不涉险。(泉州晚报社融媒体记者林书修)。
