Actor Robin Williams found dead in apparent suicide

This morning I woke up to the news that Robin Williams is dead at 63.

You'd never know that he has… had been battling depression for a long while. Let's Talk About Depression Most of us don't take depression seriously. We take depression as a form of weakness, a poor excuse to get out of doing something. Sometimes, this is true. Too often you hear attention seekers proclaiming their depression to the world over social media. They wear their pain in their words and wallow in self-pity, wearing you down with their sob stories. You know who I'm talking about. The ones, who like clockwork, would post, 'omg, I'm so depressed right now!' every two to three weeks. No. These are not the people I want to talk to you about.

Singapore's economy unexpectedly expanded last quarter as manufacturing declined less than initially estimated amid recoveries in advanced countries.

Gross domestic product rose an annualized 0.1 percent in the three months through June from the previous quarter, when it climbed a revised 1.8 percent, the trade ministry said in a statement today.
