So, there are over 200 warning signs and risk factors for suicide.
Mostly, what you want to look for is a major change of behavior.
So, maybe they're sleeping all the time.
Maybe they're not getting any sleep.
Maybe they're overeating.
Maybe they're not eating.
Maybe they used to really care about getting to work on time and getting the job done and
now they're being a little more sloppy—or maybe vice versa.
Basically, what we're looking for is a major change of behavior.
I really like to think about it as being more human.
We just need to be willing to watch out for those around us.
So, I like to share a story of—a few months ago, I was in my office and one of my co-workers
walked past my door.
Took her about one second, maybe, to walk past my door.
And in that one second, I realized that something wasn't right.
That she wasn't her normal self.
And so, I took the time to go talk to her and ask her how she was doing.
She wasn't having thoughts of suicide or anything like that, but she was having a bad day and
she had some things going on at home and she was able to talk to me about that.
And so, really, I think it is about being more human and making that connection with
people and really caring.
Because, we have that inside of us, we—we know when something isn't right and sometimes
we feel like: "Oh, I don't want to be nosy."
Or "I don't want to get into people's business."
But suicide is everyone's business and we need to care.

What Is Bluetooth 5? Bluetooth 5 Explained!! - Duration: 4:18.
In the past few months you've probably heard the term Bluetooth 5 but you may not know
exactly what it is capable of.
Is it any better than the previous version?
Well, stay tuned because in this video we're gonna talk a bit about Bluetooth 5 and what
it can do.
With 4x range, 2x speed and 8x broadcasting message capacity, the enhancements of Bluetooth
5 focus on increasing the functionality of Bluetooth for the IoT or Internet of Things
which is basically just the concept of connecting any device with an on and off switch to the
Internet.
These features, along with improved interoperability and coexistence with other wireless technologies,
continue to advance the IoT experience by enabling simple and effortless interactions
across the vast range of connected devices.
Bluetooth 5 is capable of transferring data at double the speed of Bluetooth 4.2, and
it can also work at much further distances.
Right now the main device on the market which has Bluetooth 5.0 is the extremely popular
Samsung Galaxy S8.
Theoretically, your Samsung Galaxy S8 paired with a Bluetooth 5 speaker can work up to
260 feet away from each other, but barriers such as walls and natural terrain can pose
a problem.
An issue that was experienced with the previous Bluetooth 4.2.
But that doesn't mean that Bluetooth 5 isn't way better.
With a max range of around 800 feet, those improvements will extend to IoT devices as
well, allowing Bluetooth 5 to essentially replace (or act as a backup to) Wi-Fi connectivity
for smart home devices.
Bluetooth 5 includes updates that help reduce potential interference with other wireless
technologies to ensure Bluetooth devices can coexist within the increasingly complex global
IoT environment.
Bluetooth 5 delivers all of this while maintaining its low-energy functionality and flexibility
for developers to meet the needs of their device or application.
Bluetooth 4.2 added some features to make it work better with the so-called Internet
of Things, and Bluetooth 5 places such functionality front and centre.
Of course, its extra range and capacity will help more smart household devices talk to
each other, but the increase to broadcast capacity means the new standard will be able
to communicate much more easily with IoT devices.
Bluetooth 5 isn't just about being faster and longer-range than before – it'll also
help facilitate additional location-based functionality.
In particular, it should boost the uptake of Beacon technology, which will result in
significantly improved indoors navigation in shopping centres and the like.
This will be possible because Bluetooth 5 will add "significantly more capacity to advertising
transmission," according to Bluetooth SIG.
This means that it will be able to convey much more information to other compatible
devices without forming an actual connection.
Now, right here I'm not claiming that Bluetooth 5 is the best thing ever but I am saying that
it has many more benefits than the previous version.
Allowing us to do things that we couldn't have don't with the previous version.
But, right here is where I hit you with the cold hard facts.
At this point in time, Bluetooth 5 may not be the best choice for you.
Mainly because many devices don't support it yet.
You may actually have to wait until early 2018 before you see devices rolling out with
the newest version of Bluetooth/ Companies haven't started building devices that support
Bluetooth 5 yet, because the Galaxy S8 is the only phone that currently supports the
standard.
But that will begin to change over the next few months.
Anker says the earliest it will start selling Bluetooth 5 products is the end of this year,
but more likely the beginning of 2018.
"We'll keep testing during the next months," an Anker spokesperson said.
"I would say the earliest we might have a Bluetooth 5 product would be either late
Q4 this year or Q1 2018."
Incipio Group, the company behind Griffin, Braven, Incase, and its eponymous brand says
it won't launch any Bluetooth 5 products this year, but Griffin does have some in the
pipeline for the first half of 2018.
The next generation of Bluetooth accessories are on the way, and they will be a major improvement
over what we currently have.
Bluetooth 5 actually went live back in December 2016, but in reality you'll have to wait
a bit longer before you can use to at it's best.

Electoral Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction - News of TV Shows - Duration: 10:35.
Electoral Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction
It's long been the running joke that House of Cards reflects Washington, D.C., as it sees itself, while Veep shows D.C.
The two series have been tied together since their inception, less than a year apart: Both feature a vice president who managed to inherit the position of commander-in-chief, but craves the validation of a clean electoral victory.
Both feature endless wheeling and dealing among pathological narcissists whose self-interest transcends ideology.
(Veep never bothers with party ID; on House of Cards, it's the Democrats fronting the new War on Terror.) Both shows have election subplots focusing on the same bizarre procedural tangle — what happens when neither candidate grabs 270 electoral votes? — that our Constitution technically allows but our electorate hasn't yet pulled off.
But House of Cards' vision of the capital as a snakepit of Machiavellian masterminds is inherently flattering, while Veep's flailing incompetence tends to inspire performative assurances that politicos are laughing with the show, not being laughed at.
Just look at the casting: Cards regularly attracts flotillas of game guest stars from inside the Beltway, while Veep recruits the likes of Patton Oswalt and Hugh Laurie from the ranks of its fellow comedians.
Five seasons into House of Cards and six seasons into Veep, there has been an obvious shift in context: Two shows conceived in the Obama era debuted their newest seasons in the middle of a new and drastically altered political epoch.
Neither show had time to respond to the current firestorm — both shows were in production during the 2016 election and its immediate aftermath — though both will seem like they're responding to it anyway.
But there's another, smaller change, too — one that has less to do with being a TV show about politics and more with just being a TV show.
Both House of Cards and Veep are decidedly in their late periods, when the novelty has worn off. Those two changes are connected: Both shows' attempts to address their potential stagnation have become hopelessly tied up in their newfound resonance.
Because House of Cards is often criticized for being nowhere near as insightful as it presents itself to be, this newfound topicality is a boon — resonance granted by chance rather than achieved through effort.
And because Veep aims to one-up Washington's own insanity, landing too close to the genuine article — or having to deal with a reality that's veered into the nonsensical — is more burden than advantage.
After all, even based-on-a-true-story fiction is supposed to invent as well as embellish. The real world's increasingly outlandish politics makes that harder by the day.
Veep's challenges are mostly rooted in bad timing: The show is now neck-and-neck with its satirical subjects rather than three steps ahead.
Season 5 ended by having the first female president lose her bid for proper election, and resumed in a world where the first female major-party candidate had just suffered a crushing defeat.
Getting Selina Meyer out of the White House was the next logical step in a story about high-level failure, and then a pragmatic plot decision became an accidental premonition.
When the moment of truth arrived, Selina couldn't grab the brass ring; less than five months later, Hillary Clinton couldn't either.
As both Meyer and Clinton plunge forward, the parallels continue: A major subplot this season involves Selina drafting her memoirs; a recent Clinton profile focused on her book-writing process.
Selina doesn't want our pity, and Veep doesn't want to inspire it, but emotions far messier than laughter are now an unavoidable part of the Veep experience. The election got tragedy in Veep's schadenfreude.
With its cast no longer united under the roof of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Veep began Season 6 by scattering its characters to the winds, with each of their new homes offering a novel angle on the political ecosystem.
Dan Egan personified the vapidity of cable news; Jonah Ryan, now a congressman, became a tea party Republican in all but name.
(He's bankrolled by a blatant Sheldon Adelson type and just instigated a government shutdown over the debt ceiling.) In virtually every new direction Veep has gone, however, it's been beaten to the punch by the real world.
It's not easy to snicker at the inanity of TV journalism now that its repercussions are under such a microscope — and behind-the-scenes harassment scandals just aren't the comic fodder they used to be.
Even if the headlines Veep were inadvertently echoing weren't so grim, however, they rob the show of one of the core elements of comedy: surprise.
The insults remain acrobatic and the performances committed, but they're now more likely to provoke a knowing headshake than an outright guffaw.
Where Veep was blindsided as it tested out some new tricks, House of Cards has doubled down on the histrionics. For Netflix's neo-Macbeth, the off-screen shake-ups have proved slightly more advantageous.
The show's aspirations to trenchant commentary were dealt a seeming death blow in its lackluster third season.
In 2015, the series gave its antihero exactly what he wanted — the presidency — only to realize that all Frank Underwood wanted to do with the authority he'd spent his life acquiring was preserve it.
That state of affairs presented an obvious "What now?" problem, while calling into question the entire project of the show. Season 4 recovered with a pleasantly wild assassination attempt and a bit of electoral intrigue.
The show had reverted to its first-season style: not necessarily smart, but at the very least entertaining.
Season 5 has a leg up House of Cards has never enjoyed before: seeming clairvoyance. The dominant theme this year is fearmongering, complete with Frank's travel-ban-like restrictions, deliberate distraction from an investigative committee, and voter suppression during an election.
These events aren't disruptions in the context of the show itself; House of Cards has been hammering home just how far the Underwoods are willing to go for so long that their manufacturing of a cyberthreat is par for the course.
What saves otherwise well-trodden themes and character beats from exhaustion comes from the familiarity audiences now bring to the show, not new sensations the show delivers to audiences.
"This is beyond the norm," a scandalized congressman gasps at Frank in the premiere. "I don't care," he growls.
The exchange feels right at home in this fictional D.C.; this is what Frank Underwood has been doing all along. It's in the real world where trampling over custom has felt so disconcerting.
Throughout their extensive runs — Julia Louis-Dreyfus has been the reigning Emmy champion for a full half-decade; House of Cards' numbered chapters now extend, remarkably, into the 60s — Veep and House of Cards have served as each other's fun-house mirror images.
Though they see D.C. through radically different lenses, both series are working from the same starting point. Which is why it's so surprising that the rupture in their mutual inspiration has affected them in opposite ways.
Together, the shows feel like a lesson in how the television viewing experience can be as much a matter of what audiences bring to the table as what the shows themselves serve up.
Veep is the more technically accomplished show, but in satirizing a hard-to-laugh-at moment, it's got the tougher task. House of Cards can be slapdash and soapy, but it's a fit for the current moment.
In fictional D.C., it's harder to laugh than to cry.
