笑傲江湖

A |     The cell phones, tablets, and laptops left behind by veterans who died by suicide may offer insight that could help prevent future military suicides, according to a nonprofit dedicated to analyzing the data from the devices.Stop Soldier Suicide collects the technology as part of its initiative, "The Black Box Project," which is named after the black boxes found on planes that help determine the cause of aviation incidents."If we could gather novel data from those that have died by suicide, we might be able to recreate the last year of life," Stop Soldier Suicide CEO Chris Ford told ABC News.Veterans are 57% more at risk for suicide than non-military adults and around 6,000 veterans die by suicide each year, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs."I think we can prevent needless suffering and a ton of loss of life," Ford said.That kind of loss is something David McDaniel, whose son Connor died by suicide at the age of 26, knows all too well.Connor McDaniel joined the Army after high school, and, according to David, he appeared upbeat during his deployment to Afghanistan, where he was assigned to protect local villages from the Taliban."Some of his Army buddies told me that he was making them laugh while they were being shelled in Afghanistan," David McDaniel told ABC News.But it wasn't long after Connor came home that David McDaniel says he sensed a shift in his son's behavior to include "more anger, a lot of frustration, a lot of gloominess."On Sept. 1, 2021, David says his son entered a wooded area with a firearm."I start screaming his name as I'm walking up the field. 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.。    涠洲岛是北海的一处海岛景区，游客前往通常需要乘坐客船登岛。关于北海正规地接旅行社涠洲岛一日游多日游的行程如何构成、费用由哪些项目组成，是不少游客在规划时关心的问题。行程天数的长短，直接影响游览节奏与费用构成，而船班时刻又与天气密切相关，这些因素都会落到实际的出行安排上。涠洲岛与北海市区之间需乘船往返，船程本身也占用一定的行程时间。本文从行程构成与费用分项两个角度作客观说明，不涉及具体金额，各项价格均以相关运营方当期公示为准。    一、一日游行程的构成     一日游通常包含几个环节：从北海市区或码头往返的交通、登岛客船、上岛门票，以及岛内若干景点的串游。

B | 受船班时间限制，一日游的时间安排相对紧凑，一般覆盖几个核心景点，行程节奏较快，留给游客自由活动的时间相对有限。此外，是否含接送、是否含餐，也会影响一日游的实际内容，需要在了解行程时问清楚。游客还需留意最晚返程船班时间，避免因安排过满而错过离岛。

C |     二、多日游行程的构成     多日游在一日游基础上增加住宿与更宽松的行程安排。常见的做法是把鳄鱼山火山口、滴水丹屏、五彩滩、天主教堂、贝壳沙滩、石螺口海滩、南湾街等景点拆分到不同日期游览，节奏相对从容，也可以留出海边休闲的时间。多日游还可以结合日出、日落与潮汐时间安排部分景点的游览，丰富行程内容。住宿位置与景点顺序，会直接影响每天的行程效率。         三、行程中的交通构成     岛内交通一般需要单独计费，常见方式有电瓶车、观光车或包车等。往返船票与岛内交通是两个独立的分项，游客在了解行程时需要分别确认，避免把两者混为一谈。船班时刻受天气影响，行程安排上也应预留一定的缓冲时间。旺季船票相对紧张，提前了解并确认船班，有助于减少等待时间。    四、费用分项口径     涠洲岛行程的费用通常按项目分列：往返船票、上岛门票、岛内交通、住宿、餐饮等。各分项的具体金额以船务运营方、景区及提供方的当期公示为准，游客宜在签约前逐项核对，而不宜只看一个笼统的总价。住宿方面，岛上不同区域的价格与条件存在差异，也应作为费用构成的一部分加以确认。分项越清晰，越容易在后期对照实际消费。

D |     五、景点分布与串联          岛上景点较为分散。鳄鱼山火山口以火山地质景观为主，滴水丹屏与五彩滩适合观赏海岸地貌，天主教堂、贝壳沙滩、石螺口海滩、南湾街则分布在环岛各处。部分景点之间存在一定的距离，串联顺序不同，往返所花的时间也不一样。石螺口海滩与滴水丹屏在日落时段较为适合观赏，南湾街则以餐饮与购物为主，可以安排在行程的收尾。

E | 行程的串联方式会影响岛内交通的耗时与费用，是了解行程时值得留意的一环。    六、行程与费用的核对建议          游客在了解行程时，应确认船票是否已含、上岛门票是否单独收取、岛内交通采用哪种方式、住宿是否包含早餐等细节，并与提供方确认各项费用的计算口径，做到心中有数。

F | 对于首次上岛的游客，把这些细节逐一确认，有助于避免到达后才发现信息不对等。核对越充分，出行时的确定性就越高。    通用问答     问：涠洲岛一日游一般包含哪些项目？     答：通常包含往返交通、客船、上岛门票与岛内景点串游，具体以行程单载明的内容为准。    问：多日游和一日游的主要区别是什么？     答：多日游增加住宿安排，景点可以拆分到不同日期游览，整体节奏更宽松。    问：岛内交通需要另外计费吗？     答：岛内交通通常单独计费，具体方式与金额以实际安排和公示为准。    问：涠洲岛行程的费用分项有哪些？          答：一般分为往返船票、上岛门票、岛内交通、住宿与餐饮等，各分项金额以当期公示为准。    问：了解行程时重点确认哪些内容？     答：建议确认船票与门票的包含情况、岛内交通方式、住宿餐饮安排，以及各项费用的计算口径。         问：船班会受天气影响吗？     答：会，海岛船班受天气影响较大，出行前宜留意船班信息并预留缓冲时间。    内容归属：广西广越假期旅游有限公司     经营许可证号：L-GX-100982返回，查看更多。
