Article: It is a myth that you are "putting the idea in their heads." If someone displays the warning signs of suicide, you need to talk to them. You need to be simple and direct, asking them if there is any chance that they hurt themselves. You need to have an open conversation about suicide, as hard as that may be. Some good ways to ask include: "Have you considered hurting yourself?" "Do you know how you would do it?" "Are you planning on committing suicide?" You cannot, and should not, shoulder this burden alone. Even if your friends swears you to secrecy, you need to break the oath and let someone know. This person can be a hotline staff member, a counselor, or a trusted adult. You need to enlist the support of trained, responsible people who can help your friend far better than you can. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255) to talk through this difficult time and find strategies for helping someone. If you'd be more comfortable messaging someone, connect with a trained crisis counselor by texting the Crisis Text line at 741741 in the US. If you're in Canada, the number is 686868, and in the UK the number is 85258. Push them to call a hotline, see a counselor/therapist, or join a support group. Help them see that there is no stigma to therapy, and that there is no reason to feel ashamed of getting help. You need to get them talking to someone about their thoughts, and mental health experts are trained to help prevent tragedies like this. Offer to support them through their therapy. Join them at appointments, help them do research, and/or drive them to and from meetings. Ask the person what they enjoy doing and what helps them to feel relaxed. This might include a special interest, hobby, or doing something calming, such as taking a long bath. Encourage them to make time for these activities as part of a regular self-care routine and let them know that this may help them to relieve stress, develop more resilience, and feel better in general.For example, they could set aside 30 minutes daily to go bird watching if that's something they enjoy, or designate the last hour before bedtime as their bath and beauty hour where they draw a luxurious bath and take their time relaxing. If, in response to your question "do you know how you'd do it?" you get a response, you should not leave their side. If they have a plan in place, then they are far down the road of suicidal thoughts and should have constant support. If you do need to leave them, and they do not seem likely to commit suicide soon, you should still get them to talk to someone, even if just over the phone, before you go. This is another reason you 'must tell other people that they are considering suicide. A big support system is one of the best ways to prevent a tragedy. Take away any weapons, blades, or prescription drugs. In addition, keep them away from alcohol and other drugs, as these can influence people to act in ways they may not sober. Enlist other friends or family members to help you keep an eye out for dangerous objects and get them out of the way.

Article: The Facebook Marketplace has a simple, three step process for reporting a listing that you believe is a scam, or that otherwise violates the Facebook Marketplace Community Standards. Go to the Marketplace and find the item you suspect is a scam. When you click on that post, you'll see a link that says "Report Post" on the bottom right. Click that link and follow the instructions to make your report. In the United States, you can report a Facebook Marketplace scam to the FBI using the Department's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). You can use this service if you live in the U.S., even if the scammer is elsewhere or you don't know where the scammer lives. If you live outside the U.S., you can still file a report if you have reason to believe the scammer is located in the U.S. Go to the website at https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx to learn more about the service and file your report. The information you provide will go into a database that is used by federal, state, and local law enforcement to identify patterns of fraudulent activity. Gather all the information you have about the person who posted the scam listing as well as the listing itself. While filing a report with the FBI does not mean that law enforcement will actively investigate your case specifically, it does help their efforts and may lead to additional evidence that helps stop the scammer. Especially if the scammer appears to live in your local area, filing a police report may help authorities handle the situation. Keep in mind that someone who attempts to scam one person will likely attempt it again. If you've already reported to the IC3, you can provide that report to your local police. Bring all the information and documentation you have about the transaction, including a print-out of any conversations you had with the scam artist through Facebook Messenger. Go to the police station in person to file your report. Do not call 911 or your country's equivalent emergency number unless there is an actual emergency and you feel your life or safety is in immediate danger. Get a copy of the police report for your records. You may want to call the officer who filed the report after a week or two to follow up if you haven't heard any news on the status of your case.

Article: For your weave, you'll at need at least two packages of wefts of human hair in a color coordinating your natural hue. You'll also need curved sewing needles, weave thread that matches the hair color, a wig cap, and a pick or fine tooth comb for separating sections of hair. When you finish weaving in a weft of hair, you'll cut the excess with a pair of shears, so have those on hand as well. Measure about 1-inch down the perimeter braid from the first knot you made, and repeat the process. Hook the needle under the braid, pull it through the other side, and tug to pull the loose thread tight. Before the thread between the two knots has been tightened all the way though, wrap the needle around it twice near where you inserted it, and pull tight. This will give you your second knot. Repeat this same process all the way around the perimeter braid. Each knot should be about 1 inch (2.5cm) apart from each other. Make sure that your knots and thread are pulled tight, so that your cap is firmly attached to your braids. When you've sewn the wig cap around the perimeter braid, you'll complete the 'loop' by sewing around the outside of your part. Starting from your last knot on the perimeter braid, skip up to the next row of braids on your head. Repeat the knot-tying process, and then go up to the next row. By the time you've sewn around the part, you should have a large 'U' shape of knots. Make sure that each knot is at least 1-inch away from the center part. Finish off by tying two knots at the base of your sewing, where you started on the perimeter braid. The finishing knots should be the same as the other knots you've been sewing the whole time. Cut the extra string off as close to the knot as you are able, without cutting the knot.
