Stop Me Now

Drugs take nearly 300 lives every day.1 To address the increasing number of overdose deaths related to both prescription opioids and illegal drugs, we created a website to educate people who use drugs about the dangers of illegally manufactured fentanyl, the risks and consequences of mixing drugs, the lifesaving power of naloxone, and the importance of reducing stigma around recovery and treatment options. Together, we can stop drug overdoses and save lives.

Between 2003-2013, nearly 90 percent of stops did not lead to a summons or arrest. Since 2013, the arrest rate has risen because the number of overall stops has decreased significantly. The rate at which the NYPD are frisking or searching civilians has also risen sharply. In first two years of the Adams Administration, 76 percent of the people stopped by the NYPD were frisked or searched.

Every time a police officer stops a person in NYC, the officer is supposed to fill out a form recording the details of the stop. The forms were filled out by hand and manually entered into an NYPD database until 2017, when the forms became electronic. The NYPD reports stop-and-frisk data in two ways: a summary report released quarterly and a complete database released annually to the public.

The quarterly reports are released by the NYCLU every three months (available here) include data on stops, arrests, and summonses. The data are broken down by precinct of the stop and race and gender of the person stopped.

The annual database includes nearly all of the data recorded by the police officer after a stop such as the age of the person stopped, if a person was frisked, if there was a weapon or firearm recovered, if physical force was used, and the exact location of the stop within the precinct. The NYPD uploads this databe to their website annually. The most recent annual dataset and codebook is located below. It contains over 100 variables and 15,102 observations, each of which represents a stop conducted by an NYPD officer.

When .stop() is called on an element, the currently-running animation (if any) is immediately stopped. If, for instance, an element is being hidden with .slideUp() when .stop() is called, the element will now still be displayed, but will be a fraction of its previous height. Callback functions are not called.

If more than one animation method is called on the same element, the later animations are placed in the effects queue for the element. These animations will not begin until the first one completes. When .stop() is called, the next animation in the queue begins immediately. If the clearQueue parameter is provided with a value of true, then the rest of the animations in the queue are removed and never run.

If the jumpToEnd argument is provided with a value of true, the current animation stops, but the element is immediately given its target values for each CSS property. In our above .slideUp() example, the element would be immediately hidden. The callback function is then immediately called, if provided.

As of jQuery 1.7, stopping a toggled animation prematurely with .stop() will trigger jQuery's internal effects tracking. In previous versions, calling the .stop() method before a toggled animation was completed would cause the animation to lose track of its state (if jumpToEnd was false). Any subsequent animations would start at a new "half-way" state, sometimes resulting in the element disappearing. To observe the new behavior, see the final example below.

Animations may be stopped globally by setting the property $.fx.off to true. When this is done, all animation methods will immediately set elements to their final state when called, rather than displaying an effect.

Click the Go button once to start the animation, then click the STOP button to stop it where it's currently positioned. Another option is to click several buttons to queue them up and see that stop just kills the currently playing one.

Stop the Bleed is a grassroots national awareness campaign and call-to-action. Stop the Bleed encourages bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.

No matter how fast professional emergency responders arrive, bystanders will always be first on the scene. A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes, therefore it is important to quickly stop the blood loss. Those nearest to someone with life threatening injuries are best positioned to provide first care.

If you would like to take a course to prepare yourself to help injured people following a traumatic event, contact your local public health department, hospitals and clinics, emergency medical services, or fire and police departments to see if they offer any training.

I am a fairly athletic person. Growing up, I was always picked at least in the top 1/3rd or so of any people, for any sport or game that was being played, no matter what it was. I was a jack of all trades and master of none. This inspired in me a sort of mildly inappropriate feeling of entitlement to skill without a lot of effort, and so it went when I became a bowler.

Most people who bowl put a thumb and two fingers in the ball and carefully cultivate tossing the bowling ball in a pattern that causes the ball to start wide and hook into the middle. With no patience for learning that, I discovered I could do a pretty good job faking it by putting no fingers and thumbs in the ball and kind of twisting my elbow and chucking the ball down the lane.

In 1980, a couple of brothers with the last name Dreyfus proposed a model of skill acquisition that has gone on to have a fair bit of influence on discussions about learning, process, and practice. Later they would go on to publish a book based on this paper and, in that book, they would refine the model a bit to its current form, as shown on wikipedia.

This is actually the exact path that my bowling game followed in my path from bowling incompetence to some degree of bowling competence. I rapidly improved to the point of competence and then completely leveled off. In my case, improvement hit a local maximum and then stopped altogether, as I was too busy to continue on my path as-is or to follow through with my retooling.

And so we have chronicled the rise of the Expert Beginner: where they come from and why they stop progressing. In the next post in this series, I will explore the mechanics by which one or more Expert Beginners create a degenerative situation in which they actively cause festering and rot in the dynamics of groups that have talented members or could otherwise be healthy.

The main process inside the container will receive SIGTERM, and after a graceperiod, SIGKILL. The first signal can be changed with the STOPSIGNALinstruction in the container's Dockerfile, or the --stop-signal option todocker run.

The stop data policy and data collection program has been implemented with the intention of creating an internal culture of accountability and ensuring that our policing practices are constitutional. Providing the Oakland community with public safety services in a fair and equitable manner remains our priority. We understand the importance of our responsibility to implement strategies that effectively reduce crime and protect the civil liberties of everyone.

Beginning in 2019, the Department began collecting stop data in accordance with new statewide reporting requirements set forth in California Assembly Bill 953, the Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA).

Observations on the Sharp Drop in Number of Stops Following the Introduction of Precision Policing in June 2017. Presented on Feb 2, 2018 to the OPD Command Staff and the Independent Monitoring Team by Professor Benot Monin from the Stanford Technical Assistance Team.

On Monday, June 5, 2017, the findings of an important and groundbreaking study were released. The study continues analysis of stop data that Stanford University Professor Eberhardt and her team have done using information captured by body-worn cameras. In this report, researchers looked at how Oakland police officers making vehicle and pedestrian stops spoke to the people they stopped. The information gained will help us improve our service to the community.

Advances in technology have unfortunately allowed illegal and spoofed robocalls to be made from anywhere in the world and more cheaply and easily than ever before. That's why it's become more of a problem for consumers, and a more difficult problem to solve.

Keep in mind that many robocalls are legal. While we have taken several actions, and continue to work on reducing illegal robocalls, it is a difficult problem that requires complex solutions. The most complex part is identifying the illegal calls in real time to be able to block them without blocking lawful calls.

The FCC also recently declared that calls made with artificial intelligence or AI-generated voices are considered "artificial" voice calls under the TCPA, making voice cloning technology used in common robocall scams targeting consumers illegal absent prior consent or a recognized exemption.

Callers must have your prior express written consent before making telemarketing calls using a prerecorded or artificial voice. Telephone solicitation calls to your home are prohibited before 8 am or after 9 pm.

Telemarketers are no longer able to make telemarketing robocalls to your wireline home telephone based solely on an "established business relationship" that you may have established when purchasing something from a business or contacting the business to ask questions.

A consumer's written or oral consent is required for autodialed, prerecorded, or artificial voice calls or texts made to your wireless number, with a few exceptions such as emergency calls regarding danger to life or safety. Consent must be in writing for telemarketing robocalls. Telemarketers are not permitted to make robocalls to your wireless phone based solely on an "established business relationship" with you.
